On Friday night before the Guangzhou Suns flew to Chengdu for the league, the 3,000-seat venue was packed, with a row of 16 seats in the front row. It can be seen that all the representatives of Guangdong football are sitting at the moment, including Shepchenko, who has locked the top scorer this season, Gullit who has gradually shifted his focus to coaching, and of course, his three musketeer brother Rijkaard, as well as Van Gaal, who is also from the Netherlands, and Chen Yiming, the head coach of Guangdong Hongyuan, and Dragan, the head coach of Guangzhou Songri, and the world-class stars Laudrup, Brolin, Vialli, Balderrama, Papan, who play in the four teams of Guangdong in the A League, The remaining 4 domestic players represent Shan Ge Li Bing, Peng Weijun, Hu Zhijun, and Li Boen. The host specially invited several football commentators from the Central Five, Zhang Lu to guide, the great Italian Huang Jianxiang and the shorts man Duan Xuan.

What are these people doing together? Friends who have an impression should have remembered that, yes, the award ceremony of the first Rice Guangzhou Junior High School Youth League.

The main stage of the ceremony was co-hosted by Zhang Lu and Huang Jianxiang, and the secondary stage was handed over to Duan Xuan. First of all, there are some awards from the regular season, and after seven or eight awards have been given out one after another, it is time to highlight the event tonight – the best 11-man team, the best scorer, the assist king, the free kick master, the best goalkeeper, the best manager, the Ballon d'Or and other awards, and the last award is the league championship trophy.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and Zhang Lu was the first to walk on the stage, looked at the list of winners in his hand, and then raised his head and blinked his small eyes, which caused good-natured laughter at the scene. After the laughter, Coach Zhang Lu and the 11 player judges in the audience cooperated to report the list of the best team.

Zhang Lu: "The list of the best teams is as follows, forwards..."

Shepchenko said in Chinese, which is not very proficient: "Player No. 9 of Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Union Middle School – Pan Yixiong. Congratulations!"

After that, a teenager stood up from the audience of 3,000 people, and the spotlight followed him to receive the certificate from Shepchenko, a judge in the audience, and then all the way to the stage.

Next, Director Zhang Lu and the gods of A A jointly completed the award of the best lineup, and then the 16 judges in the audience took a group photo with the award-winning teenagers.

The second award is the top scorer in the youth league, and the No. 9 jersey from Qiaolian Middle School is still in the arms of Pan Yixiong. This kid is very good, scoring 7 goals in 4 rounds of regional ranking matches, 24 goals in 18 games in the regular season, and 8 goals in 6 playoff games! It's a natural shooting machine! The rating is the only S+ among all players, so 13 of the 16 judges voted for Xiao Pan in the selection of the top scorer, and the young man also received a professional player contract and a reward of 500,000 yuan from Rice Sports, plus 10,000 yuan each for the two awards in the regular season and 30,000 yuan for the two awards in the playoffs, the kid has already reached 580,000 yuan.

The last time Lee Bern went to visit the young player, it happened that he had something at home, so he didn't see him. This time, the value of the 15-year-old player has reached 63, and the potential value is as high as 83, that is to say, as long as the child develops steadily step by step, trains hard, and does not have any moths, he can become a national player between 5-10 years, and now the striker of the national team has not yet reached the value of 83, even if the current ability is 63, it is enough to play in the first and lower reaches of the first division next season, this is a baby!

The next award is the assist king, which is actually controversial when everyone discusses it privately, because the player with the most assists in the playoffs is also from Qiaolian High School, but this player has a rating of only B, strictly speaking, his statistics are due to his strong forward teammates. In fact, according to the feedback from the league's technical statistics, this kid's personal skills, passing success rate and ability to pass the ball are very average. And the second-ranked player has reached A+, and Wan Fankun, the central defender who has reached the S level I have seen before, is also from Guangzhou 7 Middle School, whose name is Xunzhou Hai, and the surnames of the players in Guangzhou 7 are also very distinctive! Xun Zhouhai dished out 13 assists in 18 games in the regular season and completed 4 assists in 6 games in the playoffs, only 2 fewer than the first place in Qiaolian High School.

When the judges were about to award the award to Xunzhouhai, they were stopped by Li Boen, and the teenager said: "We must not mix football with other messy factors, whether it is politics or capital, including the current situation. It is true that we all know that the ability of the state sea is stronger than the other party, but as the organizer and judges, what we have to do is to be fair and just, as long as there are no violations in the process of competitive sports, the final result is to rely on the results to speak, if you only look at the strength of the players or teams on the surface, then simply don't play the game, just sit down and line up the total value of each team. For these young players, we must also let them understand this truth from an early age, and rely on their own efforts to achieve results if they want anything, and naturally they have everything. Hi! Don't look at me like that, we can't double standard like UEFA and FIFA, you know. Ay! In fact, you don't have to worry, like the situation of Xunzhouhai, he is still only a student in the first year of junior high school, he still has two years to grow up, there is nothing bad about encountering a little setback, if this little tribulation can't bear it, it won't be much in the future. Okay, okay, let's just say that, all awards are based on the actual statistics!"

Later, when this award was announced, he really didn't have a chance with Xun Zhouhai, which made Xun Zhouhai very disappointed, because his head coach was appointed by Rice, and the coach said that everyone's award would be fair. At this age, teenagers don't think about things like adults, and they don't understand that if you want to go down the road of professional football, others will look at your results. If you don't get results, no matter how strong your personal ability is, you are still a scumbag. Even if you have won countless honors in the club, even if you have so many honors that you are the only player in the world, there will be people who will hack you because you have never won the World Cup. After all, really rational fans are a minority, and the psychology is not strong enough, and this road will not go far.

After that, the awards were awarded one by one, and naturally some people were happy and some were worried. Overall, the first municipal youth league was held very successfully. The constitution and various data of the first Guangzhou Youth League have also been printed and distributed to the representatives of other provinces and cities attending today, and next year's youth league will be at least in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Tianjin, Dalian, Shenzhen, Jinan, Qingdao, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, these 11 cities, Guangzhou's experience here is a valuable asset for them. Of course, if you encounter difficulties in the real operation, the Rice headquarters will definitely provide technical support, and this kind of thing will inevitably trouble our behind-the-scenes heroine Wang Jingyuan, in fact, the young man at this conference also plans to push Mr. Wang out of the stage, but his sister does not agree. Alas, it's not for the sake of Lao Meng's so-called face.

In any case, Li Boen has done his best to raise the sails for the future of Chinese football, as for whether this big ship can sail safely and how far it can go, it depends on how strong it can be. It's still the same sentence, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain.
