"Brother Zhuoyang, when can I go to Europe to play football like you?" Liu Langdong asked with his big eyes flashing. His chubby round face was burnt black by the scorching summer sun, and was tinged with red, but the sparkling aura in his eyes was hotter than the sun.

Liu Langdong is the little boy Zhuo Yang met at Principal Lang's house three years ago. He returned to his biological parents at that time. Three years later, ten-year-old Langdong became Liu Langdong and a thirteen-year-old football boy.

The 'Hope Chunlei Zhuoyang Football School' located in Qinhuangdao was funded and established by Zhuoyang. It currently has ten teams in five age groups, each with 30 young players. It is a full-time boarding school. Football training and cultural classes are held at the same time every day.

There are eleven schools like this in China. Since cooperating with the ‘Hope Project’, Zhuo Yang’s Spring Bud Project has finally embarked on a path of vigorous development.

China's huge population base is showing great power at this moment. The talent potential of a few thousand people carefully selected from the millions of children playing football in school is dazzling.

Thirteen-year-old Liu Langdong is one of these geniuses. Although Liu Langdong came into contact with football very late, he really started playing football when he met Zhuo Yang when he was ten years old, but geniuses are so unreasonable. Just like Zhuo Yang, he can practice for one day as well as others for three days.

In the past three years, Liu Langdong could only play with six- or seven-year-old kids at the beginning, but now he has jumped to the U15 level to train with him. U15 is also the highest age group at Zhuoyang Hope Chunlei Football School.

Children in schools are not exposed to football early, especially formal training is later, but there are also many geniuses like Liu Langdong. They have gradually begun to win more than they lose in matches against the echelon of Chinese Super League clubs of the same age.

Football is an industry that relies heavily on childishness. The differences in talent selection methods and purposes will become more apparent later on. Zhuo Yang’s Hope Spring Buds Project is relying on China’s huge population base to recruit football talents among them. Catch them all.

The population of Western Europe is only one-third that of China. You are one in ten thousand, and we are one in one hundred thousand. How can we be worse than you?

Among the Chinese Super League clubs, Evergrande is better. The youth training of other teams basically still pays for training at home. The club hopes to train genius models from these children. Don’t you know that genius is never acquired? There are even some clubs that do not have their own real youth training, and are still affiliated with the old and meet the threshold standards.

Hope Chunlei doesn't charge any money, and only has one criterion for selecting people - genius. I hope Chunlei trains professional players among the geniuses, and it is clear who is the best among them.

But Zhuoyang's investment is huge. Even with the assistance of the Hope Project, the amount of money spent in these years is astronomical, and the scale and number of schools and coaches continue to expand. These are currently pure investments.

However, the dawn is not far away, and all football talents who hope to have Chunlei have signed agency contracts with Yiyang Domain, which is the agency for every talent here. When they reach U16 and can be released, the best among them will go to Europe, and the rest will also seek positions in the youth teams of Chinese Super League clubs. That is when it is time to harvest or double the funds. I hope Chunlei will also Self-sufficient and sustainable development can be formed.

"Next year, I'll take you to Europe next year." Zhuo Yang said, stroking Liu Langdong's wet hair.

"Yeah~~" Liu Langdong cheered excitedly. The other young players looked at him with envy, and then looked at Zhuo Yang, their eyes full of desire.

Zhuo Yang looked around with a smile and said: "Ding Ga, Peng Mingzhi, and Zhang Xian and Zhang Zai, you two brothers will also go next year." The four children suddenly cheered like Liu Langdong.

Ding Ga, 14 years old, from Qinghai, mainly plays winger and full midfielder. Peng Zhiming, 15 years old, from Guangxi, can play as a midfielder and defender. Zhang Xian and Zhang Zai are twin brothers.

14 years old, from Daliangshan, plays midfielder and forward respectively.

Taking advantage of the holidays, Zhuo Yang asked twelve football schools to form a team, and they gathered in Qinhuangdao to play an internal "Chun Lei Cup" competition. The top talents from their respective schools came and Zhuo Yang personally played with them. Ball training.

13-year-old midfielder Liu Langdong, Ding Ga, Peng Zhiming, Zhang Xian and Zhang Zai are the five best children among them. Looking at them, Zhuo Yang thought of Li Zimo and other children who were basically the same age and in the Madibao echelon. They were all hopes.

"Everyone has a chance." Zhuo Yang said loudly to all the children: "There is still one year left. Let's train and compete well. Everyone will have a chance to go to Europe next year."

By next year, Football Hope Chunlei's plan to travel to Europe will be in full swing, and numerous young Chinese football talents will continue to pursue their respective peaks in the highest level football environment.

"Brother Zhuoyang, please wait for us." Liu Langdong said, "When we grow up, we will go to the World Cup with you."

The football boys cheered again. Liu Langdong's words are the wish of every football boy here.

Zhuo Yang laughed and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you, wait for you to play in the World Cup together, let's go and get the championship back."

When a group of children in Wuyangyang finished jumping and screaming, Zhuo Yang blew the whistle: "Continue training!"

Eleven years ago, Liu Langdong's biological parents, Liu Mingli and Wang Rui, were busy trying to make a living after being laid off. They accidentally lost Liu Langdong, who was still called Liu Fan at that time. For eight years, they sold their house and traveled across the country in search of their son, becoming impoverished.

Three years ago, Liu Langdong returned to his parents. Now Wang Rui is arranged by Zhuo Yang to do logistics work at the football school. Liu Mingli runs a chain of supermarkets near the school. The couple bought a house and a car.

Principal Lang, who had raised Liu Langdong for eight years, finally retired. It was Zhuo Yang who persuaded him to retire. Principal Lang also left the mountain and the school where he had worked hard all his life, and moved to Qinhuangdao to live with Liu Langdong's family. Liu Mingli and his wife respected him as their own father.

Principal Lang regained the happiness of his family, and he could see Xiao Langdong's happy smiling face every day. This must be the best ending to this story.

Zhuo Yang likes to see these, likes to see stories that make the world warm, and likes to see the purity in the eyes of the children here, just like the football here.

But after today he had to leave again. It was already August and he had to return to Europe to face his marriage and transfer matters.
