In fact, Zhou Yi also had times when he didn't know which way to go, he didn't innate himself knowing which way to take and which path he was suitable to take. If it weren't for this reality show www.biquge.info he might be walking on a different path, and he might have achieved a little bit on this road, but more likely he didn't.

If there is no better option, then this is the only way he can go.

But because he participated in this reality show, because he met his teammates, because he came to Europe to broaden his horizons, because he felt the charm of high-level football, and because he had a little golden finger in his brain, he finally recognized what was the way he should go.

From this point of view, in fact, Zhou Yi is lucky, because many people have spent their lives and have not found which path is the way they should really go. Some people die thinking that they are on the right path, but they are on the wrong path.

A lot of people, a lot of people get lost in their lives.

"Hey, Zhou Yi, what do you think?" Sun Pan asked Zhou Yi, who was standing on the treadmill and preparing to start physical training.

At dinner, Zhou Yi dropped a bombshell on everyone's hearts, and many people haven't eased up until now.

They couldn't understand that God had given such a good opportunity, why would Zhou Yi refuse?

Some people are even very unhappy -- Zhou Yi gave up the opportunity so easily, it was simply a violent thing! If it were himself, he would definitely seize this opportunity even if he said anything!

The people who think this way are ...... Liang Qiqi.

Liang Qiqi was very unhappy, no matter how he looked at Zhou Yi, he felt that every cell in his body was pretending.

"I didn't think much about it, I just felt that since I had to take this path seriously, I couldn't settle for ......."

"Damn, you call going to Arsenal 'general'?!" Sun Pan was shocked.

"Sun Pan, aren't you really an Arsenal fan?" Zhou Yi was also very strange.

"I'm a fan of Xiangbei! Don't change the subject, I ask you, why is it going to be settled?"

"Hmm...... I still want to go to a team that really values me and understands me. After all, I didn't come from formal professional training, so I'm different from you. ”

"You don't think Arsenal value you?"

"They won't even give me a special genius spot!"

"Damn, I won't give it to you if I change me!"

"Break up!"

"Alright, alright. Yang Muge hurriedly came out to play a round, "I think it's normal that Zhou Yi didn't agree, it's not a big deal, with Zhou Yi's performance, I don't believe that only Arsenal has taken a fancy to him." There will definitely be teams coming to him after that. So it was too early to say yes, what if a better team comes?"

"Better team?" Sun Pan looked at Yang Muge, frowned, and then his eyes lit up. "Barcelona?"

"It's not impossible. Anyway, I think Zhou Yi's style of play is very suitable for Barcelona. Yang Muge said.

"That's right. Sun Pan slapped him. "If it's Barcelona...... It's not a big deal to say no to Arsenal!"

Then he began to look forward to Zhou Yi: "If you can really go to Barcelona...... La Masia, tsk, tsk!"

Guo Nu next to him also said excitedly: "I, I, I also want to ......"

Sun Pan waved his hand, like expelling a fly: "Don't think about it, you don't have a play." ”

"Why, why?" Guo asked angrily glaring at Sun Pan.

"First, you are a defender, and second, you are still ...... short word" Sun Pan counted his fingers, but Zhou Yi interrupted him.

"The second point is not a reason, Sun Pan. Lao Guo's height of 75 meters is not short in Barcelona......"

"Lao Guo, Zhou Yi insulted your team. I'm not a troublemaker, but I can't bear it......"

"Don't sow discord, I'm serious. Didn't you listen carefully when you first visited La Masia? The technical director said that the first thing Ruiz, the founder of La Masia, did after becoming the head of the Barcelona Academy was to remove the slogan from the club's headquarters that said, 'If you're here to recommend young players under 1.8 meters tall, please leave'?

"Is there such a thing?" Sun Panhu looked at Yang Muge suspiciously, although Zhou Yi's expression was very serious and serious, but with his understanding of Zhou Yi, he was not sure whether Zhou Yi's words were nonsense, so he chose to ask Yang Muge for help from the audience outside the venue.

Yang Muge nodded: "That's right, the technical director did say something like this, and also said that the philosophy of La Masia's youth training is 'talent is the only criterion'." ”

"Look, I'm not wrong. Zhou Yi spread his hand.

Why did Zhou Yi remember this incident so clearly? Because when Garcia, the technical director of La Masia, told everyone that the founder of La Masia was actually not Cruyff, but Ruiz, whom he had never heard of, Zhou Yi was very surprised and curious, so he remembered this matter clearly and was very impressed.

However, when it comes to the relationship between La Masia and Cruyff, this is a bit of a long story.

To put it simply, Montal, who was the president of FC Barcelona at the time, was dissatisfied with the results of the youth team and hired Ruiz as the head coach of the youth team, which was in 1972. Ruiz became head of the academy two years later and pointed out the direction for La Masia's future by moving away from the simple physical criteria of a player in favour of talent.

After Ruiz pointed out the direction for La Masia, Toth turned it into reality, and some media commented that "without Toth, there would be no birth of La Masia." Toth started his career as an academy coach and helped Nunez set up La Masia's youth base in 1979 as youth director, and over the course of more than three decades he has tapped for Barcelona's talent. He was the builder of La Masia.

Cruyff, on the other hand, was an important figure in moving La Masia away from the simple sense of youth training and into a strategic figure at the level of the entire Barcelona club. His arrival changed La Masia and Barcelona as well. The brilliance of Barcelona today has a huge relationship with the fact that when he first came to Barcelona to take over as head coach, he first gathered all the youth team coaches and put forward his request.

Cruyff's demands were simple: teams at all levels had to use the 433 formation and build the belief that they would "possess the ball, pass and break up the opposition with technique".

If he didn't ask for this, then La Masia would be just La Masia and Barcelona would be Barcelona. La Masia's greatest achievement may be the same as Real Madrid's Castilla Academy, which can supply blood to the entire La Liga and produce many qualified and even excellent professional players, but it cannot have such a profound impact on the development and pattern of a club and even the entire world football as a youth academy.

So now when everyone talks about La Masia, Cruyff must be mentioned, in addition to the reason why Cruyff is more well-known in the public mind than Ruiz and Toth, there are also reasons for this.

Cruyff is a link between the past and the future. His vision went far beyond the limitations of the development of world football and people's thinking at the time, although he only led the Dream Team to win the Champions League once, but time proved Cruyff's wisdom little by little in the years that followed.

Therefore, until now, Cruyff, as the godfather of FC Barcelona, no one dares to say a word.

Guo Nu was very happy to hear Zhou Yi say this: "Then, is that just ......?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi also shook his head at him: "Lao Guo, don't think too much." He patted Guo Nu's shoulder and said in a deep tone.

Guo Nu lowered his head in frustration.

"Warm man" Yang Muge hurriedly comforted: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this problem, Lao Guo." Just because Barcelona can't look down on you doesn't mean that other clubs don't like you either, and I'm sure that with your performances in these games, it will definitely attract the attention of some scouts. Zhou Yi's story shows that our game can attract the interest of those European scouts. ”

"Thank you, thank you, Yang Muge. I feel, I feel so much better......"

Sun Pan was also excited when he heard Yang Muge say this: "Will there be me?

Before Yang Muge could speak, Zhou Yi said next to him: "Anyway, Arsenal will definitely not look at a goalkeeper who concedes seven goals in 45 minutes......"

"Zhou Yi, you can't practice yet! What are you doing standing still, run! If you are lazy, be careful that you will be replaced at half time in this last game!"

After finishing the evening special training, Zhou Yi returned to his room, and He Ying was waiting for him.

Then he asked: "Why didn't you agree to go to Arsenal?"

Zhou Yi suddenly felt annoyed, will everyone greet him in the future, and the sentence he said was not "Have you eaten today?" but "Why don't you go to Arsenal"......

He Ying didn't wait for Zhou Yi to answer, so he continued: "For you, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right?"

Facing He Ying's inquiry, Zhou Yi spread out his hands: "For Zhou Yi, who is sitting in the classroom of the third class of Qingyang No. 1 High School, this is the case. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want to be a student anymore, I want to be a professional footballer and be a very, very successful professional footballer. Zhou Yi said.

He Ying was stunned.

"I'm seventeen years old, and I'll be eighteen by this time next year, and I'll be considered an adult. Today, some teammates said that I don't have a solid foundation and should train in the youth team for a few more years, but I don't see it that way. Because I don't have much time, I want to be exposed to a higher level of football. I was in a critical period for longball, and I needed a lot of games not to train a lot, but to play a lot of games, and that I felt that after I came to Europe and played a few games. I want to play in the first team as soon as possible and I want to be able to go to a team that gives me a commitment to the first team, even if it's not a big club. I don't care about the fame and the number of fans I have in the team, it's enough to be able to give me a kick, value me, understand me. I don't want to waste my best years in the youth team. ”

Zhou Yi finished his words in one breath, he decided that this was the last time to answer this question, and no matter who asked in the future, he would be talking nonsense.

Arsenal's ranking is so low that they can't even get into the top three!

I'm not an Arsenal fan!

The weather in London is terrible and the food is not good!

London (a hundred years ago) had smog!

......

And so on, whichever reason you like, please take it yourself.

In the end, he looked at He Ying, who was stunned, and said, "This is my little ambition. ”
