Chapter 264 Only Profitable Can You Promote

Football has never been a sport for one person, which is also one of Li Mo's professional creeds.

So no matter how close he is to the so-called record every time, he still puts the team first, just like the ball made by Joaquin, his running position at the first time is to help Joaquin open the defensive player, not Hurry up and ask for the ball.

He has always believed that the very small number of players who can break the record are not record chasers, but the record is chasing them.

The closer you get to those numbers, the more you have to integrate yourself into the team. As long as winning is the first goal, then in the process, stabilize your mentality and seize opportunities, and you will naturally achieve your personal goals. Achievement.

It is precisely because of his mentality that other Sheffield United players will do their best to help him.

Even Joaquin, who only joined the team this season.

This penalty was earned by Joaquin relying on his own experience, but it was also because of him that he risked a rough foul to win half of the luck.

Li Mo is very grateful.

He was very happy to create his own Champions League record, but the support from his teammates made him even more proud.

This kind of satisfaction of being recognized and supported is not what a string of cold data can bring him.

"Thank you guys, thank you."

Li Mo's gratitude was exchanged for embarrassing slaps and hugs from other Sheffield United players.

But in the major commentators here, other Sheffield United players have been ignored by them at the moment, and they are all excitedly introducing the Champions League record created by Li Mo.

The East Asian media reporters were even more excited on the sidelines.

First the Premier League, then the Champions League, Li Mo used one achievement and one record after another to raise the ceiling of Asian players to a level that they never dared to imagine before!

In addition to congratulating them, looking at the jubilant group of Chinese reporters, South Korean and Japanese media reporters also felt envious from the bottom of their hearts.

The football level of their two countries is much higher than that of China. In the past, this was something they were proud of, but now, in front of Li Mo's dazzling achievements, not only their two countries, but also football players in the entire Asia are shrouded in the shadows.

It is true that reporters from the two countries admire Li Mo and like Li Mo, but it is also true that they envy or even envy Hua Guo for having such a football superstar.

Listen to the crazy cheers at the scene, mixed with Li Mo's name, which has proved how popular Li Mo is in this city.

Perhaps, after this game, Li Mo will set off a frenzy of discussions about him throughout Europe.

No, maybe, at this moment, this craze has already risen all over the world.
"If Raul is watching the game at the moment, maybe he will be a little sad. After all, the record that belonged to him before now needs to be shared with Li. Maybe in the next Champions League group match, his record will be handed over to others. But I think he will only be sad for a while, because as long as he thinks that this record was broken by Lee, then Raul should also feel relieved."

"Oh, I know what you mean, maybe Raúl will think: 'It doesn't matter if the record is broken by a super talent like Lee, it's better than being broken by other players, and I scored in a single season in the Champions League. Six goals, Lee only broke my record when he was 19 years old, I am still the strongest player in the history of the Champions League, just like Owen's status in the Premier League. 'Ha ha!"

The Spanish narrator joked with the guests, and then also sent blessings to Li Mo.

Of course they love Raul, but they are also happy to see the advent of a new era, especially Li Mo, a rare player who can be called a superstar under the age of 20, and has always been mentioned by the media of European football powers Favorite.

And now the commentators from various European countries look at Li Mo more, the more they can recall the alien Ronaldo who won the World Footballer of the Year at the age of 20.

Although they are not the same type of striker, the two have many similarities. For example, they both became famous at a young age, and their scoring efficiency far exceeds that age at the age of 20. Both have the key ability to make a final decision. Many fan favorites and more.

There are too few players like Ronaldo in the history of football. Now there is a phenomenal center forward with better physical fitness and more endurance. It is really hard for the commentators of various countries not to imagine that Li Mo may win achievement.

However, at this time, Speed ​​called out Dirk to warm up, not caring about the thoughts of countless fans in front of the TV who wanted to see more of Li Mo's performance.

Li Mo completed a hat-trick and successfully created a Champions League record that belongs to him. This game has been considered complete for Li Mo.

And two days later, Sheffield United will play against Fulham in the Premier League, and there will be the fourth round of the League Cup at the end of the month. Speed ​​now just wants Li Mo to rest as much as possible. Even in the big battle, Li Mo still needs to have the bottom line on the offensive end, so he doesn't care how the fans complain.

Anyway, Sheffield United fans will 100% support his decision.

Sure enough, 4 minutes after Olympiacos re-kicked off, Speed ​​replaced Li Mo with Didier Dirk. All the Sheffield United fans at home stood up and expressed their condolences to Li Mo with applause and excited whistles. .

This season, Sheffield United is not only fighting on two fronts, because the depth of the bench is sufficient. Before the FA Cup starts, they also have a lot of ambitions for the League Cup. The fans know and understand.

And they are completely satisfied with this game, Li Mo has scored three goals, the team is sure to win, let Li Mo take a break at this time, and we will see Li Mo play again in the league two days later.

After a full meal, Sheffield United fans will still do such a simple multiple-choice question.

Sheffield United also adjusted their tactics appropriately and slowed down the pace after Dirk Drivet came on the field.

A few minutes later, Bell and Joaquin followed suit, and De Bruyne and Dembele came up to play for about [-] minutes to find their feelings.

Under the deliberate control of the field, the final result of the game was also fixed at 3-0. Sheffield United did not catch Olympiacos.

At present, Olympiacos still has an advantage over Montpellier in terms of goal difference. As long as they can beat Montpellier in the future, they will at least have the hope of qualifying second in the group.

No matter how bad you are, you can go to play in the Europa League.

Most of the players in Olympiacos have found excuses for the loss of this game, so they are not too sad to lose in the end.

After the game, Li Mo took the initiative to approach Manolas, expressing his desire to exchange jerseys with him.

Manolas, who was still a little depressed, got some comfort from Li Mo.

At least, he won the approval of his opponent and strengthened his previous determination.

I have to go to the five major leagues.

And he has to leave early, the Greek league is only suitable for the elderly, now, he is going out to make a living and pursue his dream!

The match between Sheffield United and Olympiacos had no accidents, so it ended relatively early. However, when the Sheffield United players left the field, the other UEFA Champions League group matches that started that day also ended one after another.

However, the players of Sheffield United didn't read the news at the first time. They interacted with the home fans. When they returned to the locker room for physical therapy, Li Mo and the others learned the results of several games.

"Great gift crab! Schalke 04 is so good? It even drew with Montpellier?! It was still a draw at their home court!"

Medel held the phone with a look of disbelief.

Originally, in this round of the group stage, they all thought that Schalke 04 would not be soft-hearted, and they should also win their opponents like them and win two consecutive victories.

But the result was beyond the expectations of all of them, including Speed ​​and the members of the Sheffield United coaching staff!
Montpellier, who were beaten by them in the last round, even drew the miners at Schalke 04's home court in this round of the group stage!
比分还不是0-0或者是1-1，而是2-2。

Facing Sheffield United in the last group match, Kamara, who was invisible in the audience, scored an absolute goal at Schalke 04's home court, a serious and absolute goal, scored in No. 90 minutes.

"Could it be that these three teams are actually at the same level, and we are too strong?"

Maguire muttered a little uncertainly, but his dangerous idea was just germinated, and was ruthlessly cut off by Speed.

The result of this round of match between Schalke 04 and Montpellier is undoubtedly a great thing for Sheffield United, but if the players of Sheffield United become careless because of this, it may not be a good thing .

"Let's talk after the game. Who knows if the Montpellier players were not in good form before? Think about it guys, if we win Schalke 04 in the next round, we will have nine points, nine points! Keep working hard Work hard, get the qualification to qualify first in the group, and our probability of entering the quarterfinals will be much higher."

In the end, it was Li Mo who suppressed the restless hearts of his teammates. The temptation of the quarter-finals of the Champions League was too great for these young players. If they really underestimated the enemy and lost to Schalke 04, they would eventually fall into the group If they qualify second, they will not forgive themselves.

"Cristiano also performed a hat-trick, tsk tsk, Ajax lost two games in a row, Manchester City and Dortmund also drew, it is worthy of Real Madrid, it is also thriving in such a group, Manchester City will not fail to qualify this year~ "

Vardy's ridicule immediately triggered a big discussion in the locker room.

At present, Manchester City has one point for one loss and one draw, Real Madrid has six points for two consecutive victories, and Dortmund has four points for one win and one draw. If they lose to Real Madrid, then Manchester City and Dortmund will have the same points.

This is a very likely situation. After all, Manchester City's strength is still good. It shouldn't be difficult to beat Ajax, the point-giving boy in the group, right?

Li Mo closed his eyes and shook his head as he listened to the hypothetical discussions of his teammates.

Dortmund is just relatively slow in the group stage, and the strength after playing out is worthy of Real Madrid.

At least this season.

These two teams are the semi-finals and runners-up of the UEFA Champions League in the 12-13 season in Li Mo's impression. Even though the football world is gradually becoming a little different now, Manchester City can't touch Real Madrid and Dortmund this season.

If you are lucky, if you beat Ajax, you can also play third in the group. If you are not lucky.
Anyway, Li Mo is not optimistic about Manchester City this season.

"Great Paris can't do it. I was suffocated by Porto 1-0. I think who else is talking about Ibrahimovic. But Porto's No. 10 midfielder played well. It seems to be a Colombian player called, called James? "

"Don't underestimate Porto, Moutinho, Otamendi, Sandro, Martinez. The value of these players is not low at all. Paris may not be able to stabilize Porto. It is normal to lose. "

Li Mo turned over and listened to Drinkwater's chat, but many classic scenes from the 14 World Cup in Brazil flashed through his mind.

James Rodriguez is the most dazzling star in this World Cup, but under him, many stars have begun to emerge.

This batch of new stars will bring football into a new chapter.

Although Melo is still strong, many powerful and declining giants in European football have also risen strongly under the joining of this group of new stars.

A strong expectation arose in Li Mo's heart.

He has a hunch that soon, he will compete with these new stars, maybe the Champions League, maybe the World Cup
But no matter what platform he is on, he is eager and looking forward to it.

Strong opponents can always bring him excitement. On the way to charge Melo, it is also a very enjoyable thing to compete with these opponents one by one.

But just when he was fantasizing about playing against all the stars on the stage of the World Cup, a text message from his uncle Li Lijun brought him back to reality in an instant.

Looking at this text message, Li Mo's eyes flashed with joy.

"It's finally time to start"

At noon the next day, Li Mo waited in Sheffield for Li Lijun, who had rushed over from Germany, and Charlie, who had been staying in London to help Li Mo handle business cooperation matters, came with him.

When Li Mo saw the stack of contracts and materials in his uncle's file bag, Li Mo knew that the matter should be done.

"I have to say, Li, your idea is very bold. No one has ever done this in your country before. If the training base is really set up in your hometown, God, I remember the city where your hometown is located. There are nearly 500 million people, and it only needs to include one or two nearby cities, it will be a huge talent discovery site!"

Charlie seemed even more excited than Li Lijun, but Li Mo and Li Lijun smiled at each other and did not take Charlie's words.

China is different from Africa and South America. In Africa or South America, if a youth training base can select talents in an area with a population of more than 1000 million, it may be possible to unearth a lot of football talents. .

But in Huaguo, it's not just about young players who are talented enough to lead each other to the path of professional football. Very tough stuff.

The difficulties cannot be summed up simply by saying "there is our own national conditions". Li Lijun has been running in the country for so long before, and he also collects the promotion difficulties encountered by industry insiders in various provinces while building a team.

Li Mo is not that great, trying to change the status quo of football in Huaguo by himself, but he can find a channel to transfer talents to the outside world within his ability.

Yes, even if he wanted to establish a youth training base in his hometown in China, he never planned to do this whole thing in China from the very beginning.

If the foundation is crooked, no matter how many buildings are built on it, it will still be crooked.

Li Mo can only put his professional training abroad, and looking around, the most suitable ones in the five major leagues are Ligue [-] and Bundesliga.

First ruled out by the Premier League, labor certification restrictions have blocked the login of many Asian players. La Liga and Serie A have relatively strict foreign aid restriction policies, Ligue [-] is relatively loose, and Bundesliga is the most relaxed.

So while building a youth training base in China, Li Mo also asked his uncle to help him find professional teachers in German and French in China, as well as excellent fresh graduates from colleges and universities. In short, the more the better.

"The details of the cooperation have been finalized with the government of my hometown. You put the youth training base in Fucheng, which can be regarded as a publicity for your hometown. If the location is not in the urban area, then everything is easy to say. It is the establishment of cooperation channels with primary and secondary schools in various places. You have to be mentally prepared for this, but as long as you have the first batch of students, I believe everything will gradually get better."

Li Lijun was on the sofa, took out the contract and materials in the document bag, and asked Li Mo to take a look at it slowly.

He was exhausted during this time, and it took him more than two months to go to all the primary and secondary schools in the city. He negotiated with each school, and some schools readily agreed, but there were very few such schools, and most of them were in wait and see.

After all, Li Mo is in the limelight in the country right now, and the elders in his hometown still give him face when he organizes youth training.

But as soon as the matter concerns the students, it is not just the school that has the final say. It is necessary to communicate with the parents in the follow-up. It must also vigorously publicize it in the city and find someone to give a speech. It must first solve the worries of the parents.

For this, Li Mo has long planned.

In the final analysis, it is a question of conflict between learning and training.

To solve this problem, we can learn from the youth training ideas of European football powers, but we cannot copy them.

Because in Europe, primary and secondary school students have a lot of spare time, so when they complete their learning tasks, they still have plenty of time for them to play football and go to the nearest club echelon to train.

Huaguo's education system is different. To promote it, it must first make localized improvements.

Li Mo still plans to start with the interests first, starting from primary school and junior high school, and grasping this interest.

Students who are willing to learn about football and want to play football can join the interest groups formed by their youth training bases in schools.

There is no utilitarianism, as long as you sign up, you can participate. They are divided into different groups according to different age groups. After completing your homework and learning tasks, you can use evenings and weekends to build small venues or schools nearby. soccer field learning to kick.

Every week, we organize a game between several nearby schools that cooperate with the youth training base. All groups play, not big courts. The five-a-side system and the seven-a-side system are the main ones to cultivate children's interest. Mainly.

The costs of game clothing, footwear, and balls are all provided by the youth training base to reduce the resistance of parents as much as possible.

And in the process of children learning and getting in touch with football, those few students who show their talents in this area and who really like football themselves will be the target students of the youth training base.

These students are just like the children who sign up for club echelons abroad. They can receive semi-professional training from the moment they enter the youth training base.

However, they still have to complete their usual homework tasks on time, and for those with poor grades, the youth training base will also arrange teachers to provide guidance.

However, at this stage, the cultivation of interests is still the main focus, and only those students who can persevere will enter the next stage, that is, the stage of studying abroad.

Because the youth training base will offer simple training courses in German and French on weekdays, and the youth training students who meet the minimum standards will enter the final inspection period.

During the inspection, in addition to the staff of the youth training base persuading their parents, they also had tasks themselves.

Not only their football talent must meet the standard, but their learning ability must also meet the standard before they can officially embark on the road of studying abroad.

Because even if they go to Germany or France, they still have to spend a few years studying and training at the same time. This is equivalent to studying abroad and training abroad. I believe many parents will recognize this when the grades are guaranteed. way of youth training.

After all, to put it bluntly, if you only practice the ball, everyone will be happy if you get it out, but what if you can't get it out?

If you can't practice, the road you can walk in the Chinese society is too narrow. How can parents dare to trust their children to those who run football youth training?
What Li Mo has to do is to solve this fundamental contradiction and let parents know that even if their children fail to become a professional football player in the end, they can come back to continue their studies and college entrance examinations, and their lives will not be delayed. road.

Of course, this model is only an idealized state.

Li Mo also experienced the heavy academic pressure of Huaguo students, but fortunately, in junior high school and primary school, students still have a lot of spare time.

If the children are interested, squeeze in time, and they can successfully complete the initial football interest training at the age of seven or eight to eleven or twelve.

Afterwards, the life of the students who enter the youth training base will be very fulfilling, but it will also be very boring. After all, not all children can endure their lives for football. They are almost in the two modes of learning and training.

Go to school during the day, go to the youth training base to practice football after school in the afternoon, rarely play games, and sometimes have to study at night if they can’t keep up with schoolwork. This alone may cause many children to give up the career of professional football halfway.

However, even if most of the children gave up, the few who persisted in the end were enough for Li Mo to start his huge plan.

Because the population of China is large enough, there are enough children who are suitable for playing football, and there are enough talented children. A small part of them can go to Europe for training. In terms of the number of people, it is also a considerable number.

Even though Li Mo is just trying it out in his hometown, he believes that there are definitely not a few professional players who can come out of his hometown city and the surrounding cities.

What he has to do is to build such a channel that stably links the youth training systems of Germany and France and their own talents. Those who are suitable and whose parents agree will go out first. a correct understanding.

This can be regarded as a successful promotion and popularization.

However, Li Mo doesn't want to be a good person and a philanthropist. After the channel is successfully established, he still has to see if it can make a profit.

The initial investment is necessary, and it is normal to see no return after three or four years of investment, but profitability is a necessary condition for the promotion of this model in Sichuan Province.

All young players from youth training bases to European clubs must belong to the brokerage company jointly established by Li Mo and Mendes.

This point is not negotiable.

Director Xu is doing youth training on Chongming Island, so he has to sell one player after another to recover his blood. Li Mo is not being taken advantage of.

Without a profitable business, it is impossible to grow bigger and stronger, unless there is a funder behind him who keeps burning money.

But Li Mo can't get too much investment in this matter. If he wants to continue to do it stably and promote this model in the end, he must have the premise of making a profit.

Otherwise, no matter how rich he is, he can't always pay for this hole by himself.

Besides, if the economic contract is not stuck, the seedlings cultivated by the youth training base, let alone sent to Europe for further training, will have to be poached by major domestic clubs waving checks before going abroad.

He is not willing to do this kind of thing of making wedding dresses for others.

Speaking of it, the business he plans to do in China is actually similar to what major football agencies do in South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe to cooperate with those small clubs and continuously send local talented players to Europe.

But the difficulty that Li Mo has to face is several times, even ten times, that of those brokerage companies.

Because he is still in charge of these children's studies and their future, otherwise he will not be able to pass the hurdle of being a parent.

Whether this model can be successful is also unknown, after all, no one has ever done such a thing in China before.

At present, Director Xu, who is the most successful in youth training in China, has not been able to establish a stable external channel. In terms of the current domestic football environment, Director Xu has achieved this step already.

But Li Mo didn't want to follow the old path and continue to waste time in the country.

Otherwise, Huaguo's football, after he retires, after the current group of players who have studied abroad, will return to the old way, and even worse.

He wants to forcibly dig out a new channel, which has nothing to do with the country.

Maybe in the end these young players will only play in the second-tier leagues of the five major leagues, but such an overseas team is enough to support Huaguo's football to barely retain a first-class seat in the Asian division.

"I didn't know how many brokerage giants wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with the clubs in your country. You know, Li, 13 billion people! God, the population of your country is more than that of the entire European countries combined! Even if it is A province, such as your hometown, has a larger population than most European countries, so they all want to develop this huge market. Your idea is absolutely genius level. I will apply to the boss to go to your country in the future .”

Charlie chattered very rarely. When he talked about the Huaguo market, his eyes lit up. It seemed that the experience of signing several large contracts with Li Mo in Huaguo this summer had greatly stimulated him.

Li Mo leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, thinking about it.

In my hometown, the children really know about football. Those who want to take the professional football path don’t need to go to sports school again, and they don’t need to pay money everywhere. With better channels and more scientific training methods, parents have no worries .
"There will be a day, Charlie, there will be a day."

　Today is finally the end of the overtime work during the Double Eleven period. This meeting will finally be eaten. I will try my best to restore the update volume from tomorrow. Part-time writing will inevitably encounter such problems. Brothers, please understand. Thanks for the foodies.
