Chapter 255: Audition for future football plans (contains domestic content, please do not subscribe if you do not like it)

"Wu Lei has arrived at the Espanyol club and has completed the joining physical examination and contract signing. He is expected to play for the team in February."

"Recently, the audition plan for the future, led by Manchester City star Sun Jihai and Manchester United player Chu Feng, has officially begun!"

“.”

Chu Feng put down his phone, stood up and left the training room.

Since the country began a thorough investigation of the Football Association and the league, Chinese football has gradually emerged, and the increase in the number of youth training institutions is visibly evident.

It also sends young players under the age of 12 to clubs with China Fortune Capital background in the five major leagues for training.

Chu Feng believes that he enjoys the benefits of being a Chinese person and is undoubtedly a beneficiary of Chinese football. He has the obligation and responsibility to do what he can to give back the love and support of Chinese fans and try to change the depressed situation of Chinese football.

In fact, he thought about this question at the end of last season and got an answer.

That is to use his influence in Manchester United to help suitable young players enter Manchester United's youth training.

But the problem was that he didn't have the time and energy to pick the right person.

It just so happened that Manchester City star Sun Jihai came to the door. After retiring, he devoted himself to campus football. He had just finished his job as coach of the National Olympic Team the year before last, and he started an open audition plan for future football players in the City of Turning Point.

They are currently selecting children born after 2008 to form the first team of their youth training program.

So the two hit it off and formed a team.

First, we cooperated with relevant departments in Bincheng and rented the Youth Training Center in Puxin District, Bincheng.

The conditions here are among the best in the country and are definitely sufficient for children's daily training and life.

Secondly, we invite a group of professional coaches with professional-level coaching certificates to provide children with an educational model that combines football and academics in parallel.

That is to say, physical education and education are combined, and development is carried out on two tracks.

After all, given the current domestic education situation, few parents are willing to go all out and let their children devote themselves to football.

In fact, that is also irresponsible towards the future.

Moreover, during the entire youth training process, in addition to free food and accommodation, there will be no other charges.

As long as your child is talented enough, they will solve the worries of parents! The reason why this project can be established is not only the influence of Chu Feng and Sun Jihai, but also the deep love and understanding of football in Bincheng.

Otherwise, problems such as venue, approvals, and schools would not be so easy to solve.

There are also direct admission quotas to key schools, which also require coordination from relevant departments.

Finally, we will use Chu Feng’s influence to provide Manchester United trial opportunities for children with outstanding performance.

Don't underestimate this opportunity.

Nowadays, clubs in the five major leagues are tightening youth training. For example, the Premier League’s "household registration book" policy requires that the team have at least eight local youth players.

Otherwise, why are the transfer fees of British players so high?

"Sun"

Chu Feng suddenly didn't know what to call him. After all, Sun Jihai was twenty years older than him, so calling him brother or uncle didn't seem appropriate.

"Xiao Chu, nice to meet you!"

Sun Jihai noticed Chu Feng's embarrassment and took the initiative to step forward and extend his right hand.

"When I was four years old, I went to watch Bincheng Shide's games with my dad. At that time, I saw you win the FA Cup, the 9th National Games and the Super Cup."

Chu Feng smiled freely and took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Actually, we are from the same hometown! I am from Hengdaohe Township, Zhuanghe City, and you?"

"I'm from Jinzhou District, not far from your place."

It should be said that when fellow villagers met, their eyes were filled with tears and the relationship between them instantly became much closer.

In addition, Sun Jihai once played for Manchester City and had a relatively in-depth understanding of the Premier League, so they quickly got along well.

Chu Feng glanced at the boys around 9-10 years old hiding behind Sun Jihai, and seemed to see his former self.

"Only five people?"

"There are only five now, but there will be more in the future."

Sun Jihai said with a smile.

Half an hour later, "Pull to the wing to use the width!"

"Pay attention to the rhythm when advancing, and the combination of the side and the center!"

“.”

Youth training coach Cox shouted at the young players on the field, and from time to time signaled to the assistant coach to raise a sign to substitute players.

"Boss, what do you think of that kid?"

Chu Feng pointed to the center of the green field, where the child caught the ball, broke free, and then quickly moved.

Today he had to go through a lot of trouble to invite Mourinho to watch the game, otherwise, based on Mourinho's habit, he should be reviewing the game or deducing tactics.

"It's OK."

Mourinho yawned and wasn't too interested.

He has seen too many geniuses in his decades of coaching career, and the 14 young players on the field were obviously not to his liking.

"Boss, look again, look again."

Chu Feng said softly.

When he left his hometown to come to Manchester United for youth training, he trained and ate alone every day.

To be honest, he is still very scared and lonely, so he wants to create better conditions for the younger generations, and he also wants someone to continue following in his footsteps.

"Well, his tactical thinking is pretty good, and his rhythm control is also OK, but he needs to improve his physical confrontation."

Mourinho has always been a serious man.

Soon, the practical training came to an end, and no player stood out.

Among the five young players brought by Sun Jihai, only one named Wang Xiaoke, the child evaluated by Mourinho, got the opportunity to sign with Manchester United's youth training academy.

"Although young players cannot receive payment from the club before the age of 16, all expenses are covered by the youth training program."

Chu Feng looked at Wang Xiaoke, who was covered in grass and mud, and continued with a smile: "So you don't have to worry about those problems. Just focus on football and study."

He didn't tell Wang Xiaoke how hard it was to leave his hometown.

Because in the game just now, this kid really tried his best to press, run, and attack. Whether it was to change his own destiny or to cherish his dream of football, Chu Feng believed that the opponent should be able to withstand the pressure.

Didn’t I go through the same thing? “Can I be like you?”

Wang Xiaoke looked down at the team logo on his chest and spoke in an inaudible voice.

"Maybe." Chu Feng shook his head, "But there is a very important premise, that is, you have to learn to be confident, whether on the green field or off the green field."

In today's professional football circle, you can't play well without a bit of ruthlessness, after all, the competition is too fierce.

This ruthlessness is directed both at oneself and others.

"Come on, you can always come to me if you have any questions."

Chu Feng patted Wang Xiaoke on the head.

After all, he could only provide so much help, and how far Wang Xiao could go in the end depended on himself. ——A few days later, a short promotional video was released and quickly became a hot topic on Chinese media.

"People often ask me if there is still hope for Chinese football."

"What I'm afraid of is not that Chinese football will be destroyed, but that ridicule and abuse will become a culture."

“.”

There has been a huge storm on the Chinese Internet. In recent years, Chinese football has gone from being the pride of the country to being a drowned dog that everyone wants to beat.

The national team's performance is indeed very poor, and I am not qualified to refute that.

But those children who love football and like to play football should not grow up in such an environment.

This will only make Chinese football worse and worse.

Moreover, sometimes the fans' groundless criticism is also the reason for the decline of Chinese football.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The comments under the media reports are growing wildly. - [A great country with a population of 1.3 billion, but we can't find 11 people who play football, which means we are not suitable for football. ] - [And the corruption that broke out some time ago! ] - [If you don't want to change the soil and environment of Chinese football, what's the point of just selecting a small group of talented players? ] - [Xiao Chu might as well play football honestly. Why get involved in this mess? ] - [What should we do? Let Chinese football rot there? Since you are not going to do anything, you can't stop others, right? ] - [We have been doing football youth training for nearly eight years, and we basically lose money every year. What about now? There is traffic and attention. I am really grateful to Xiao Chu and Sun Jihai. ] - [By the way, the youth training plan is provided with equipment by the joint brand of Puma and Xiao Chu. 】 - 【Actually, I think this audition will still be useful in the future. Regardless of whether it can produce players like Xiao Chu, as long as a few players who can gain a foothold in the lower-middle teams of the five major leagues can emerge and help the national team achieve better results, it will change the soil and environment of Chinese football. 】 - 【Others are providing money and people. I think it’s OK if you don’t support it, but don’t be sarcastic. 】 - 【.】

Although public opinion on the Internet is also very unfavorable.

But it is much better than a few years ago. After all, with Chu Feng's example, everyone's view of Chinese football has changed a lot.

Moreover, the country has indeed begun to regulate football recently. For example, Li Tie and Chen Shuyuan are both crying behind bars, and the country is gradually changing the rules and regulations of the Football Association and giving Lippi enough power and time.

But the three-foot-thick ice did not form overnight. More than ten years of misconduct has led to this state of affairs, and it will take a longer time to resolve.

At this time, Chu Feng was chatting with his teammates in the locker room.

"Chu, you said that if you agreed to the British plan, we might be able to win the World Cup."

Rashford also paid attention to the public opinions and spoke up for Chu Feng.

"Forget it! As long as Kane is here, you can't win the championship." Chu Feng shrugged.

Even if he has the system, he probably won't be as lucky as Kane.

"Look at what you said. Wait until the next World Cup and I'll let you see how powerful we are."

Lingard also showed off his muscles.

"Don't say such things again!"

After the locker room quieted down, Valencia scolded with a stern face.

Although everyone knew that Rashford was joking, if outsiders knew about it, it would cause another wave of public opinion, and Chu Feng would be in a difficult position at that time.

"I see." Rashford nodded, then changed the subject: "We're going to play Chelsea tomorrow, do you think we can overtake?"

Manchester United was two goals behind in the first leg and had to score three goals if they wanted to overtake.

It's quite difficult.

"sure."

Chu Feng said confidently.

It’s not that he is blindly confident, but that Manchester United’s current lineup is very balanced from front to back.

What about Chelsea? Sarri used the player who was best at breaking through as the fulcrum and the player who was not good at organizing as the core . The Chelsea dressing room also broke out in internal strife, and it was said that the dressing room had been divided into two factions.

The former is the "conservatives" headed by Azpilicueta, and the other is naturally the "reformists" headed by Sarri.

The two sides are currently at loggerheads with each other, and big news might break out tomorrow.

"I think so. We didn't send out our main players last time, so Chelsea took advantage of us."

Pogba adjusted his hairstyle in front of the mirror and said nonchalantly: "We will play with all our strength this time. I don't believe they can still win."

"Paul, don't hold on to this mentality. Do you really think it's easy to score three goals against Chelsea?"

Valencia's tone suddenly became serious.

You must know that in Mourinho's current tactical system, Pogba plays a very important role in the position of single attacking midfielder.

Not only do they need to sort out and organize the offense, but they also have to take on some of the defensive work.

If he loses the ball easily, Manchester United's offense will not be good and their defense will be passive.

Moreover, Valencia knows Pogba's temper. He becomes complacent with just a little achievement and occasionally gets sick during the game.

You can tell from his half blue and half white head shape.

Manchester United fans used to say that Manchester United’s revival depends on Pogba, but two veterans, Valencia and Ashley Young, disagree.

Because such a person lacks personal charm and is absolutely not suitable to be the leader of the Red Devils.

Pogba wanted to retort, but when he saw it was Valencia, he swallowed his words.

After all, we still have to give face to the old captain.

Chu Feng didn't say anything after seeing this. Valencia still had to say some things. Although he was older mentally, he still looked too young to outsiders.

If he scolded Pogba in such a preachy tone, no matter how good the relationship between the two was before.

Pogba must have been furious on the spot.

There was a similar example before, when Matic complained vaguely to the media because his teammates were always late for training.

As a result, Pogba and Lingard directly sent out several tweets.

Fortunately, Ibrahimovic was still at Manchester United at that time, otherwise the locker room would have exploded.

"Pack your things and get out quickly, today's adaptation training will begin soon!"

Assistant coach Faria tapped the tactical board.

at the same time.

Cobham training ground.

Hazard sneaked from the field to the locker room, took out a hamburger from the locker and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Although most professional players are well-educated, there are always exceptions.

In the European Cup qualifiers some time ago, after Hazard was substituted off the field, he secretly returned to the locker room to eat a hamburger.

As a result, he was fined within the team.

Moreover, the head chef of the Belgian national team has revealed that Hazard has the biggest appetite in the team, even Lukaku and De Bruyne cannot compare to him.

Here, Sarri was just about to talk about the tactics for tomorrow's game, but he looked around and couldn't find any sign of Hazard.

His whole face turned red with anger, but in the end he could do nothing about it.

"Tomorrow we will continue to follow the same pattern as before, mainly advancing from Kovacic's side."

A day passed quickly, and the second leg of the League Cup semi-final was about to start at Old Trafford! (End of this chapter)
