Chapter 71 - Return to Barcelona
against the Liverpool youth team is the last stop for Chinese football teenagers in the UK.
In the UK, they have achieved very good results, four games, two wins, one draw and one loss.
“Heir to the Greenery” has also received much attention in China because of their outstanding performance, and ratings have started to rise.
In fact, 2008 was a dark year for Chinese football.
Last year, the Chinese national team was just eliminated from the Asian Cup group stage and became a disgraceful Asian Cup.
In order to prepare for the Olympic Games held at home this year, the Football Association specially formulated the Olympic strategy, and also sent this team to Germany for training. The German coach led the team to play the game. This Olympic Games is also based on the national youth team that performed well in the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands in 2005, and has high expectations.
For the Olympics, the Football Association even sacrificed the national team’s South Africa World Cup qualifiers. It seems to them that the World Cup is far less important than the Olympics it hosted – indeed it is. In terms of political significance, the Beijing Olympics are indeed bigger than the South Africa World Cup.
sacrificed so many things to ensure that the Olympic team can have a good result in the Olympics.
As a result, at the Beijing Olympics, the National Olympics team lost all three games, and the group was eliminated at the bottom.
More dissatisfied than being eliminated is the team’s performance in the game, especially against the Belgian game, the Chinese team simply lost and lost.
The disappointing performance of Chinese football gave birth to a lot of pieces during the Olympics.
For example, after Messi participated in the Beijing Olympics, he returned to the team to show his teammates the latest cheer slogan he learned in China: “Football Association!”
The Olympics were eliminated and the World Cup qualifiers were eliminated. Chinese football seemed to have reached a desperate end. For a long time that can be foreseen in the future, the world football competitions have nothing to do with Chinese football.
It is against such a background that “Heir of the Greenery” is on high profile, and it is no wonder that it will attract so many people’s attention and criticism.
In fact, the program “Heir of the Greenery” was established very early. At that time, neither the Chinese National Team nor the Chinese National Olympic Team had yet to break through in their respective fields.
They may intend to use the Olympics team’s gimmick to participate in the Beijing Olympics to boost their programs.
Which thought that when the program officially started recording, the general environment of Chinese football would be drastically changed.
In such a situation, the sixteen football teenagers including Zhou Yi are more like blaming the entire Chinese football.
Fans and pseudo-fans have vented their disappointment and anger towards Chinese football, and even the dissatisfaction generated in their lives, to all these innocent children.
This sentiment reached its peak after the team’s first game of 0:12 defeated by La Masia Youth.
However, this team showed their uniqueness in a very difficult environment-they have not been knocked down by scolding and pressure.
Starting from the match against the Dortmund youth team, they gradually found the right path.
The audience realized that these little kids were different from the Chinese players they thought. They did not collapse completely due to consecutive failures. On the contrary, they also broke out of the encirclement!
’S performance in four games in the UK, everyone has seen, their progress is very obvious.
was able to end the British journey with a victory, which is a perfect ending.
The performance of young players improved, and the ratings of the program increased, which fully shows that in China, the influence of football is still great. It’s just that this influence was negative for various reasons…
Now, finally, there are some positive factors.
※※※
With the expectations of domestic audiences and fans, the Chinese teenagers bid farewell to Liverpool and flew from John Lennon Airport to Milan, Italy.
There is only one city in Italy, and two games are against the two giant youth teams in Milan.
AC Milan Youth Team and Inter Milan Youth Team.
Because they have achieved a good record in the United Kingdom, Chinese football teenagers are full of confidence. They seem to have declined the Serie A youth team.
But the actual situation is indeed…
They lost to the youth teams of AC Milan and Inter Milan.
is not just losing the score, on the scene, they are also suppressed by the two Serie A giant youth teams.
Such an ups and downs performance is very consistent with the characteristics of the youth team game, but why is there such a performance?
It is not convincing to simply blame the instability of the young players’ status.
On the Internet, there are many posts discussing the performance of Chinese teenagers.
Some opinions are very clear.
For example, a netizen named “Linhai Birdman” wrote an article in the “Heir of the Greenery” to discuss the importance of Zhou Yi to this team.
In the article, the reason why he spent in both games was that the Chinese team lost the ball, and the performance was average, because Zhou Yi was restrained by the Italian team’s tactics.
He analyzed why the Chinese team played so differently against the English team and the Italian team.
He believes that this is related to the fact that the youth training of the English team pays more attention to physical training, rough technology, and backward tactical awareness. The only English team that Chinese teenagers lose to is the Arsenal youth team, and the youth training philosophy of Arsenal is exactly different from the latter three.
The Chinese teenagers who are superior in tactics and tactics beat the rough skills, and the English youth team with backward tactical ideas is not surprising.
But it was different after arriving in Italy. Italian players have been taught various tactics since childhood, and they have a very high level of understanding of tactics. In this regard, the Chinese team can not play the Italian. Coupled with the natural defensive skill bonus of the Italian team, it is natural that the Chinese team can’t eat these two hard bones.
As some people say that the Serie A is declining, the Chinese teenagers should be able to beat them, and the netizen “Linhai Birdman” also expressed objections.
He thinks that the level of Serie A is the level of Serie A. This cannot be simply equal to the level of Italian youth training.
The Premier League has always been the best football league in Europe, but their youth training level is not complimented.
Also don’t look at the Bundesliga as if it were Serie A, almost no one is interested, but the level of youth training in German football is really high. He also boldly predicted that the German national team will definitely be able to regain the championship of the international competition within ten years, either the World Cup or the European Cup.

Lost two games in a row, and lost two games when the previous performance was not bad, it is really very depressing.
But what makes the Chinese young players even more depressed is that under such circumstances, they have returned to Barcelona again, which is sad for them.
According to the arrangement of the “Heir to the Greenery” program, the European Challenge Tour is a circle that starts in Barcelona and ends in Barcelona.
Barcelona’s youth team is the only team they have to play twice.
This arrangement shows that the program team attaches great importance and affirmation to Barcelona youth training.
Of course, this is also in line with the main purpose of their program focusing on the cultivation of young football talents.
set foot on this land again, and made everyone sigh.
When they first came to Barcelona, their hearts were full of longing for La Masia. In their minds, Barcelona is simply the holy city of football. There are the best football clubs in the world, the best players, the best youth training system.
But after a game, the holy city is still that holy city, but in the minds of Chinese teenagers, the feeling of worship is much less, and the pain is replaced by it.
They lost twelve goals in a game. They walked a lap in Europe. This was the worst game to lose, and it was the only game that lost a double-digit number.
was all given to them by the Barcelona youth team.
Even if they defeated the Chelsea youth team, defeated the Liverpool youth team and evened the Manchester United youth team, they could not offset the pain caused by the Barcelona youth team.
When the plane arrived at Barcelona Airport, the little players were generally very silent. The city reminded them of the sad past two months ago.
After the plane stopped and the hatch opened, the little players silently packed their luggage and followed the flow of people to the hatch.
The thought of facing the Barcelona youth team again in a week…Many people are still a little scared.
Especially just after experiencing a two-game losing streak in Italy, this fear is mixed with unconfidence, and the feeling is even worse.
But there are still some exceptions~www.mtlnovel.com~ Zhou Yi carrying his schoolbag, he came out of the cabin, stood on the gangway, looked at the busy Barcelona Airport, and suddenly shouted: “Barcelona! My Hu Hansan is back Alright!!”
This throat shocked Liang Qiqi, who was walking down the gangway, almost stepped on the ground, and fell off the gangway. Fortunately, his hand grabbed the gangway handrail in time, but the bag he carried was never again. I couldn’t take it anymore, and I rolled to the ground from the gangway, wowing to attract many people’s eyes.
He didn’t care about how to look at his bag, but turned his back and glared at Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi didn’t even notice him, he was fighting with Sun Pan.
“What’s the ghost, I almost got scared by your weakened legs!” Sun Pan complained.
“Are you scared by me, or by the name Barcelona?” Zhou Yi asked back.
“Of course you!”
“Ha ha.”
“Not allowed!”
“It’s delicious.”
“Take water when you are thirsty!”
“Sun Pan, Zhou Yi said that he broke apart…” Yang Muge reminded his roommate.
Sun Pan froze when he heard Yang Muge’s words, as if he had been enchanted by magic, and he froze there, wondering what this meant.
Zhou Yi sighed when he saw Sun Pan’s death: “Sun Pan, I don’t believe you said that you have completed nine years of compulsory education. Have you resumed fraud?”
looked at the lively teammates and laughed at the scene.
Before, there was some depressed and dull atmosphere swept away.
Of course, as for this person and his bag, Liang Qiqi seems to have been completely forgotten~www.mtlnovel.com~Welcome readers to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all in ~www.mtlnovel.com~ For mobile phone users, please read.
