Super Marshal

Entering June, students are about to usher in the long-awaited summer vacation, and the graduating class is busy preparing for exams.

The students at the Chinatown Youth Training Center in DX District, southern BJ, will also face a big test, but it has nothing to do with their studies. Even students in the graduating class of elementary school can be directly promoted to a nearby opposite school after graduation. In a prestigious junior high school, there is no need to worry about where you will go after graduation.

The big test they are really looking forward to is the first Audi Cup Youth Football Invitational Tournament in early July.

In order to prepare for this cup competition, they specially invited BJ's youth team to Chinatown to play a warm-up match on the weekend.

The competition was very intense. The Chinatown players were relatively young, only thirteen years old at most, while the BJ youth team was mostly around fifteen years old and had an absolute advantage in terms of physical fitness and strength.

But what is surprising is that the BJ team, which was supposed to use its age advantage to crush its opponents, was played around by the young players in Chinatown on the court, and was confused by their passing and receiving coordination like a thread.

The score on the court was also getting bigger and bigger, especially in the second half, the BJ team's performance plummeted. If Chinatown hadn't made continuous substitutions in the final stage and slowed down the offensive, they might have scored double-digit goals in the end.

The final score was eight to one, with Chinatown being younger but performing better.

…

"I really don't know how these kids were trained. They played so well."

"Isn't it right? With their level, if you pick any one of them and put them into other professional teams in the country, they will all be geniuses. The future of this group of kids is limitless."

"Does that need to be said? How bad are the players selected by Gao Han? Besides, they have been receiving training at the most advanced football level in Europe in Chinatown. It is normal to have such a level. On the other hand, the children of the BJ team..."

"Now I'm beginning to believe why Chinatown has the courage to bring the best youth training teams from abroad to play in the invitational tournament. At this level, there must be something to play for."

"Not necessarily. I went to Madrid and saw the training at the Chinatown Madrid Center. The kids there are also very good. I feel they are better than the kids at the BJ Youth Training Center."

"That's natural. Madrid's Chinatown is the best youth training team in the world and has gathered so many talents."

"If the children in the youth training camps of professional teams can reach the level of Chinatown, there will be hope for Chinese football."

"Don't think too much. Let's watch the invitational tournament then."

…

Gao Han stood in the crowd, silently listening to the discussions of many fans around him, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

According to his observation, the group of children in BJ Chinatown is indeed not as good as Madrid as a whole. After all, the foundation is there and it will be difficult to catch up in a while. However, there are a few who performed very well, such as Wang Lei in the midfield. The rich second generation is the most active on the court, and he is also the captain of the team and has quite good footwork.

There is also Zhao Jun on the front line. I haven’t seen him for a while. He has grown very quickly and looks very strong. However, he seems to have lost his flexibility. If he continues like this, it may affect his performance on the front line. develop.

That's how young players are, full of unknowns.

If Zhao Jun is the backbone of the striker, then Gao Ren is the assassin who hangs around Zhao Jun. He is fast, delicate with his feet, and has a keen sense of smell. He can always seize the opportunity first. Among the eight goals, Five of them were scored by him. His personal ability can be said to be outstanding, but his body is a little thinner.

Gao Han is still very satisfied with the progress of this group of children. If they continue to develop like this, over time, they will definitely have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the top European leagues and even play for a wealthy team.

After watching the game, Gao Han quietly exited the stadium and went directly to the locker room to visit.

At this time, the young players also returned to the locker room one after another, noisily discussing everything that had just happened on the field, such as who was blocked in passing, who messed up playing cow tail, etc. , laughter continued.

The person who opened the door for Gao Han was youth training director and head coach Roberto Samadon. He was surprised to see Gao Han suddenly appear.

The players in the locker room were also very excited to see Gao Han, and they all gathered around.

"Boss!"

This group of kids, just like Gao Han's players, all learned to call themselves "boss" and acted like they were part of a gang.

"I just saw your performance and it was pretty good, so I got a gift."

As soon as Gao Han raised the gift bag in his hand, the players were stunned. It was great!

"Hey, Wang Lei, this is what you want, Kaka's signed jersey."

As soon as Gao Han said this, Wang Lei's eyes widened. This was the treasure he had dreamed of. The last time he saw Gao Han, he had been begging for it for a long time, but he didn't expect that it would suddenly arrive now.

"Remember to keep it. This is what he wore in the Champions League final. He washed it and signed it."

When Wang Lei heard this, he jumped up and said, "That's great, thank you, boss."

"And yours, Gao Ren, Messi's signed jersey."

As soon as Gao Han took out the jersey in the plastic bag, little Gao Ren also opened his mouth wide, "Is it also worn in the Champions League final?"

"The signature was signed after washing and drying. It is very collectible. You can't buy it for any money outside. Keep it."

As if Gao Ren had caught a treasure, he snatched the jersey and held it tightly in his arms.

"Zhao Jun, the Ibrahimovic jersey you want is absolutely genuine, the Champions League final version. Look, the torn parts here are the best proof, but that guy's signature is really ugly."

Although he said this, Zhao Jun regarded it as a treasure and kept thanking him.

It was only after he got closer that Gao Han realized that Zhao Jun was almost catching up with him in height. This kid was only thirteen years old. If he continued to grow like this, he might really be as tall as Ibrahimovic. At that time, will he still be suitable to play as a forward?

You know, players like Ibrahimovic are really rare.

If Zhao Jun really grows so tall in the future, but turns out to be thick and hard, then...

Gao Han simply couldn't imagine that scene.

Before the Champions League final, during an online chat, Gao Han promised to give each of them a gift after the game, so many of them expressed the hope of getting signed jerseys from the superstars. After the final, Gao Han sadly became a collection of jerseys. family, which made the players of both teams very worried about Gao Han's special habits, and it took him a long time to explain it clearly.

After giving away the gifts, Gao Han looked at the group of children in front of him with great relief. These people were all his hopes.

"I saw your performance in the game against BJ team just now. It was very good, but there is still a lot of gap between you and the strong European teams, so you must keep up your efforts and never be complacent. Otherwise, the invitational tournament I will teach you a painful lesson." Gao Han warned seriously.

It is inevitable for young people to be a little arrogant, so Gao Han feels that they should compete with strong teams more often.

Playing against domestic teams of the same age is basically just a round of abuse, which is not interesting. It is better to play against strong European teams, be abused, and objectively feel the gap between themselves and high-level European teams, which will actually help them. Recognizing themselves clearly and recognizing the gaps will be more beneficial to their future growth.

"This time, several teams from Europe are basically thirteen or fourteen years old, slightly older than us."

After leaving the locker room, Roberto Samadon accompanied Gao Han all the way to the office and said worriedly.

Gao Han nodded, he knew, "Don't worry, the invitational tournament focuses on participation and communication. Look at them, playing with the youth training of domestic professional teams, they can score seven or eight goals casually. Do you think this is good for them?" , is it valuable for exercise?”

The BJ team sent out today are already fifteen years old, two years older than China Town, but they were still abused. This shows that China Town’s youth training is indeed relatively successful, but it also reflects the domestic The team's youth training is terrible.

"To be honest, according to my own judgment, if our team were in Europe, it would not be considered the best among its peers, but it would definitely be quite outstanding. In the future, many of them will definitely be able to play in the top leagues. Get established and make a difference.”

Roberto Samadon said with great confidence.

Gao Han also agrees with his judgment, "The domestic youth training is in a slump, so we have to bring in, but also go out, and communicate more with the highest-level foreign teams. Only then can we improve ourselves, and it will also be helpful for players to go abroad in the future." There are also advantages, you can’t build a car behind closed doors, and you can’t build a world champion.”

Roberto Samadon strongly agrees with Gao Han's words. Even if he is abused, he still has to play against high-level European teams. This has always been his view.

Therefore, according to the arrangement of China Town, we will bring them in this year and go out next year to compete in the China Town Youth Training Center in Madrid. At that time, we will also invite some youth teams from powerful European teams to participate.

This year, in addition to the BJ Chinatown youth training team, there is also the Chinatown youth training team from Madrid. This is the first competition between the two Chinatown youth training teams, and everyone is looking forward to it. .

Also participating in the competition are the youth teams of six professional teams from Europe and South America, including Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Santos from Brazil.

The cup competition system adopts a combination of traditional group stage and knockout round. Eight teams are divided into two groups for a single round-robin competition. The top two teams in the group enter the knockout round. The champion, runner-up, third and fourth place are finally determined, and team awards and individual awards are established. .

European teams attach great importance to the development of the Chinese market and are also very interested in arranging youth teams to play invitational matches in China. They are especially interested in competing with the youth training teams in Chinatown.

The team is very interested, and so are the sponsors. Audi defeated several other competitors and won the title of title sponsor. The main sponsor is Anta, a well-known domestic sports brand. , this is also a test for this well-known domestic sports brand in the football field.

Currently, they are also negotiating with Chinatown for more in-depth cooperation, including youth player training, coach training, and domestic and foreign competition organization. They all have a very strong interest.

With the two major sponsors Audi and Anta, as well as other investment promotions, Chinatown's investment in this invitational competition is within an acceptable range, so Gao Han decided to continue hosting the second edition in Madrid next year.

If all conditions permit, he also hopes to make this event a regular event, held in June and July every year, and the location will alternate between China and Europe, giving Chinatown players an opportunity for external exchanges.
