FC Lokomotive Leipzig was founded in 1893 and was the first German football champion.

In the 21st century, the team won the International Toto Cup in 1966 and, more recently, the 1987 European Cup Winners' Cup runners-up, losing 1-0 to Ajax, who scored the only goal of the game.

It's called Van Basten.

This person also won a Golden Globe Award later.

The next Leipzig locomotive is the second family of German Xiaoer for the New Year, and the year is not as good as the year.

Due to various factors, it has now fallen to the fifth division of the German league, and it is an amateur team.

The St. Pauli U15 youth team chose them as opponents for the friendly match, and it was really not intended to bully others, it was purely arranged by No. 1 Sports.

They all came to Leipzig and found them.

Because the city has RB Leipzig, the better players have long been picked away, so the strength of the two sides in this friendly match is not equal.

On the field, the young players of St. Pauli played very relaxed, and Timo Schultz also chatted with Magnum who came to watch the game.

Magnum's forehead was checked, and there was no major problem, but he still went to the hospital for three stitches and a big net pocket on his head.

The players all went out to play together, and he turned down several of the players and Erica's offer to watch the game alone.

Schulz has recently been promoted to head of the academy at St. Pauli because of his excellent Under-15 performances, and this will be his final game under the team.

"I'm really reluctant to let this group of children go, they are definitely the most talented group I have ever brought with me!"

Schultz proudly swaggered at Magnum.

"Reluctantly? Since you've spoken to me, the deputy director, I'll go back and talk to Thomas again, and don't move my position. ”

Although Magnum's eyes were fixed on the court, he didn't even need to look to know what the expression on Schultz's face was.

He still knows his former teammate and colleague well.

As expected, Schultz immediately coughed.

"Ahem. Don't ......"

"What's that...... I'm also for the sake of the kids, isn't that going to promote those little guys to the U17? ”

Almighty laughed secretly in his heart, and did not pierce him.

After all, this kid did a good job in youth training.

It's a talent.

Unlike the general environment of the Dragon Kingdom, the position of youth training director in Germany should not be underestimated.

St. Pauli's youth team from U9 to U23, a total of 8 teams, about 145 young players, according to age is roughly divided into three stages.

The U9 to U13 are the basic stages and focus on hobbies and exercises, as well as local Hamburg competitions.

The Under-15s to Under-17s are the transition and the most important step from hobby to professional, with the Under-15s and Under-16s starting to play some regional competitions, playing in the national league and playing against their peers from other countries to develop experience.

When it comes to the U19 and U23, it can be regarded as touching the threshold of professionalism, like the U23, that is, the reserve team, playing in the fourth level of the German amateur league.

So don't look at Scholz, the youth director is not big, in fact, the players under his hands have multiplied several times compared to before, and it is more important.

Following what he just said, Magnum also knows who the players Schultz wants to promote, Moukoko, Master and Wag Norman, their performance on the field is indeed far better than their peers.

Moukoko, in particular, has just turned eleven years old, and he has firmly established himself as the main player in the U15 and is still the team's top scorer.

He was just as good in this game, scoring a beautiful goal shortly after the start.

Then directly carry his teammates around the field for half a week.

One has to wonder if this black kid lied about his age.

Magnum stared at him for a moment, but then spoke:

"I don't have a problem with the others, Moukoko is slow, he's too young, it's still risky to play for the Under-17s now."

Schultz agrees.

"That's what I thought about too, first to play in the U16s for a year or two, but this kid's father is a bit difficult and has already started to sign an apprenticeship contract with me."

German law stipulates that only players who are at least 16 years old can sign a professional contract, and even then, it is generally an apprenticeship contract, and the average player does not sign a formal contract until he is 18 years old.

The difference between the two is that the apprenticeship contract is not full-time, the duration is generally three months, and the salary is also a symbolic little bit.

Professional contracts are signed for at least one year, and according to the regulations of the German Football League (DFL), the basic salary of the professional contract of the German second division team must reach 20% of the statutory pension insurance amount, and the minimum is more than 1,000 euros per month.

Only very promising academy players will have the opportunity to get a professional contract.

To give a simple example, the current youth training rate in the entire German football industry is about 2 percent, and it is very good to be able to train three or four professional players on a scale like St. Pauli, and the vast majority of people still can't eat football in the end.

The likes of Sam Schreck and Te'o Jr. who went straight from the Under-17s to the first team are even rarer.

That's why Germany, with its strict laws, allows part-time apprenticeship contracts.

It can not only provide a certain amount of financial security for talented young players, but also allow them enough time to complete the normal school curriculum, so that they will not become professional footballers in the future, but they will not be able to gain a foothold in society because they have no culture.

The apprenticeship contract will be much more relaxed, and the salary is usually three or four hundred euros, but it is really unheard of for an eleven-year-old like Moukoko to ask for a contract.

According to Schultz, Moukoko's father is over 60 years old and quite difficult.

"Sign!"

Magnum is very simple, just spit out a word.

He knows Moukoko's future development, a kid who single-handedly asked the German Football Association to change the rules and set a record for the youngest appearance in the Bundesliga, and the convention really had to be broken in him.

Schultz opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but in the end he held back.

He believes in the judgment of young players.

Just like Wag Norman, no one was optimistic about this kid in the previous tryouts, but he was really superior after half a year.

No sooner had the two agreed to put their energy into the game than there was a hiccup on the field.

Maest, who switched to midfielding under Magnum's advice, was brought down by the opposing player, and the referee blew the whistle decisively, but the Lokomotiv player was still unrelenting, condescending, and shouted at Master who was lying on the ground.

The omnipotence on the sidelines can faintly hear some yellow words or something, and the taste of discrimination is full.

Schultz loved the disciples and just wanted to rush up, but was pulled by Magnum.

"Leave things on the pitch to them to figure it out."

Magnum shuddered, then squinted and said.

He also knows a little bit about what kind of urine the Leipzig locals are.

Just last year, 29 high school students in Leipzig were investigated by the police for saluting and making anti-Semitic remarks.

It's also paradoxical to say, when playing RB Leipzig, many locals came to support St. Pauli, but in this kind of friendly match of young players, this disgusting thing happens.

The referee quickly intervened, but it seemed to have a mediocre effect, and the foul Lokomotiv player was still babbling in his mouth and even had a fierce glint in his eyes.

"They're looking for death."

Magnum sets the tone for this.

The game then turned out to be contrary to his judgment, with the Leipzig players acting in a completely unfamiliar manner and clearly targeting both Master and Moukoko.

Schultz, who had seen all this, couldn't stand still and complained directly to the staff next to him, but instead received ridicule from the head coach opposite.

"Children just play football, why take it so seriously."

Schultz still wanted to quarrel with him, but was pulled by Magnum.

"Yes, it's just playing, so don't interfere with us adults."
