Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 250 The 18-year-old Mediterranean island owner

Everyone got together very late, and Mourinho also changed from the initial sharer to the later listener.

Listen to Riise recall the story when he played in Rome;
Listen to Helena explain why the German Sports University of Cologne is the best sports university in Europe;

Listening to Wu Lei's introduction of the training mode of the Chongming football base directed by Xu;
Listen to Sesco's evaluation of which is more popular in Slovenia, basketball or football;

Listen to David talking about the difference between the British football market 20 years ago and the current football market;
Listening to David's son excitedly say why he became a loyal fan of Chen Xiaoliang.

This group of people has different nationalities and different mother tongues. Everyone is engaged in different professions and has different identities, but the common language of football connects everyone.

However, unlike the vacation in Ajaccio with the Gerrard family at the end of last season, there was an older and more serious Mourinho, and the big guys drank the bottle of red wine he brought.

Rome, which is adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea, is approaching summer, and it will not be completely dark until around 8 pm.

It wasn't until 11 o'clock in the chat that they started to feel sleepy, and everyone said goodbye one by one, and made an appointment to meet again in the new season.

And Chen Xiaoliang and Helena had a long talk and in-depth communication all night before parting.

The next day, the two set off separately.

Chen Xiaoliang and David flew to Glasgow together. Dave, the chairman of the Rangers, learned that the cash cow was coming back, and had already arranged all the itineraries.

Although Rangers failed to successfully defend the Soviet Super League title this season, Dave was satisfied with the Europa League final penalty shootout.

Relying on Chen Xiaoliang's share of personal portrait rights and the influence brought by the Red Country Youth Training Camp in the Red Country, the club continued to suppress the old rival Celtic in terms of season revenue.

Coming to the long-lost training base, Chen Xiaoliang changed into a Rangers uniform and met the young players he had sponsored for the whole season.

He first watched the intra-team rivalry in the youth training camp for a while. Although they were in the two age groups of 12 and 14 years old, after a season of alternating training, he obviously had the style of modern English football in his style of play. ——Quick, concise, and dare to confront.

The other is sports nutrition, which is what Chen Xiaoliang feels the most in the past two years in Europe.

Many people think that the gap in football is only reflected in the training system and tactical thinking, but in the eyes of practitioners, the backwardness of the entire "sports industry" is the fundamental reason why some events have not been able to improve.

Take basketball superstar Yao Ming as an example. When he played in Donghai City, his skills and basic basketball ideas have been finalized. This is due to his talent and inseparable from his hard work.

But after he first arrived in the United States, he had no advantage in confrontation. The Houston team formulated a long-term sports nutrition and weight gain plan for him.

Then many people will say, doesn't this mean that you can practice your skills first and then your physique?
Yao Ming's regretful retirement at the end just proves that both should be paid attention to from the youth training period.

The long-term lack of bone density and muscle toughness during the youth training period led to the fact that after Yao Ming gained weight in the later stage, his bones could not withstand the huge pressure generated by the confrontation, which eventually caused stress fractures, that is, as long as the foot bones are under strong pressure It might break.

On the other hand, Shaquille O'Neill obviously has more exaggerated weight and exercise load, even if there are some differences in congenital conditions due to race factors, but in American middle schools and universities, the "sports industry" is more scientific and modern. Accumulative injuries such as stress fractures are very rare under the training of young adults.

The most basic of sports nutrition is actually the intake of "meat, eggs and milk".

It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the red people winning gold and silver in the Olympic Games is actually a history of the development of meat, eggs and milk.

In 1985, the annual per capita meat consumption in the Red Country reached 16.6 kg, an increase of 30 kg compared to 10.5 years ago.

By 1995, this figure had increased to 33.5 kg.

By 2020, it has exceeded 60 kg.

This is directly reflected in the height of the teenagers in the Red Country.

According to the statistics of "The Lancet", the average height of 19-year-old men and women in Hong Kong has leapt to the first place in East Asia.

In the past 35 years, the average height of a 19-year-old male in the Red Country has increased by a full 8 centimeters, and now stands at 175.7 centimeters;

The female has increased by 6 cm and is currently 163.5 cm.

Across the country, the average height of people in the Red Country is equal to or even higher than that of Portugal, Italy, Spain and other European countries that were considered tall and burly a long time ago.

This "visible" increase is inseparable from the long-term intake of meat, eggs and milk.

But when it comes to sports nutrition, there is still a huge gap because as we evolve, so do they.

In European football 20 years ago, it would have been a surprise to the whole world that 18-year-old Michael Owen appeared in the World Cup.

And now in European football, Mbappe, Harland, Joan Armeni, Vinicius, Pedri, Greenwood, Saka, Bellingham, Garvey, etc...

These people have already started in the national team and big clubs when they were under 20 years old. Looking at their physical fitness, endurance, and confrontation ability, they are no longer comparable to Michael Owen at the same age. .

It used to be said that young people abuse their speed too much, which will leave hidden dangers for their careers.

But now looking at Mbappe and Harland, one is sprinting on the field, and the other is carrying the opponent on the rampage.

Without early intervention in sports nutrition, no matter how good technical training, no body, no confrontation is useless.

The children of the youth training team were all very excited when they saw Chen Xiaoliang's appearance, and they also worked hard on the court.

This kind of collective life in a foreign country for half a year is not only helpful to football, but also to the cultivation of children's character.

Dave accompanied Chen Xiaoliang all the way. As a businessman who was calculating every day, from the bankrupt club to the undefeated championship, reaching the Europa League final, and returning to the Champions League next season, although he was a bit treacherous, he really put his heart and soul into it. It's all spent on the club.

At this time, Chen Xiaoliang is already a well-known European superstar of tomorrow. Before the age of 38 or 39, it is impossible for Rangers to invite him to return to the club. Therefore, any business that can be related to Chen Xiaoliang will be given to the club. Increase as much income as possible.

But by coincidence, this time Chen Xiaoliang came to Glasgow, in addition to looking at the situation of the youth training camp, he was preparing to discuss with Dave the possibility of formally including the Red Country youth training camp into the Rangers youth training echelon.

In the UK, there is a labor certification system that is well known in football.

After all, the British Isles are sparsely populated. Once a large number of foreign workers influx, it will have a great impact on the working environment and competition of local residents.

After Brexit, even players from EU member states who come to the UK to play football must apply for labor certification.

For players from the red country, it is necessary to meet the requirements of "representing the national team in the past 24 months to participate in a certain percentage of A-level matches, and at the same time, the country's FIFA ranking is within X".

The two changing conditions here will change according to the country's ranking.

For example, Belgium, which ranks in the top 10 in the world, only needs to participate in 24% of the national team games in the past 30 months to obtain a labor certificate unconditionally.

For the national team with less than 75 places, 75% of the participation rate is required.

National teams other than 75 cannot obtain labor certification through the proportion of the national team playing.

In addition, for players who fail to meet the national team's participation ratio, they can also earn points by meeting a certain percentage of league participation. If the points reach 15 points, they can also obtain a labor certificate.

The UK divides the mainstream league into five levels:
The first level is naturally the five major leagues;

The second level is Portuguese Super League, League One, Eredivisie League, Turkish Super League and British Championship;
Some people may ask, why do you need to apply for a labor certificate after you have already played in the British Championship?
Because it involves a large number of EU national players who previously obtained labor certification through the EU Act and now need to be re-evaluated after Brexit.

The fifth level is the Danish Super League, the Polish Super League, the Chilean Super League, the American Major League and the Red Super League.

Although the Red Super League is not included, it is impossible to score 15 points in low-level competitions relying solely on the league, and even the 10 points required by manual appeals are not enough.

But England also retained the "genius clause", which was the clause Mourinho used when he signed Chen Xiaoliang at Tottenham and sent him to Rangers.

For example, when a Premier League club spends more than £1000 million to introduce a player from Europe (as far as possible), the probability of the player obtaining a work permit will greatly increase.

Or the player's salary meets two condition levels - £3.4/week or £4.3/week, which can also increase the probability of obtaining a work permit.

In addition, big clubs can appeal to the Football Association through high liquidated damages, and use written materials to prove that all the terms of the player have not been met due to age, status, etc., but the club just thinks that he will be a talent in the future. Players can also obtain temporary labor certification, but such places are extremely limited.

Chen Xiaoliang took this path.

More commonly, in countries that allow dual citizenship, if the conditions are met, young foreign players in the youth training system will be granted British citizenship to avoid the obstruction of labor certification.

Sterling, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1994 and joined the Queen's Park Rangers youth training system in 2003, is one of the representatives.

Compared with Scotland and Wales, there are stricter requirements in England. Non-English players under the age of 18, even if they are 17-year-old Mbappe and Harland who have become famous, even if the national team is 100% Play, can not represent the English club play.

This is the iron code of age.

This is why Mourinho sent Chen Xiaoliang to Su Chao.

Of course, not having a labor certificate does not mean that you cannot sign a contract, just like Dong Fangzhuo who played for Manchester United back then, but such a player without a labor certificate cannot register to play in various competitions, and can only be rented out to other national leagues to earn points to meet the conditions.

Dong Fangzhuo obtained the Manchester United labor certificate through the genius clause after winning the Golden Boot in the second league, and won the Champions League championship medal in 2008.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that if the young Red Country players who are in the homeless youth training camp want to stay in the club, they can only sign a youth training contract and participate in the youth league.

According to the current status of Red Country football, even at the age of 18, this group of people has no hope of obtaining a labor certificate.

Therefore, Chen Xiaoliang entrusted Riise to start a "longer-term" plan.

Just like Barcelona defender Pique bought the Andorra club currently in La Liga, another Barcelona defender Bellerin took a stake to scare Green Forest Rangers who will participate in League One next season, and Real Madrid star Hazard created San Diego in 1904 to participate in the MLS. Like the third-level competition, Chen Xiaoliang acquired the Spanish fourth-level league team Ibiza Club through Riise.

After the Spanish League was restructured last year, the original third-level competition La Liga B has been replaced by La Liga A and La Liga B.

The full name is "Spanish Royal Football Association First Division" and "Spanish Royal Football Association Second Division", which is currently the third and fourth level competitions in Spain.

The Western Association A is divided into two groups with a total of 40 teams. The Western Association B is divided into five groups with 5 teams in each group. It is composed of a total of 18 teams. The source of the teams depends on the upgrade of the Spanish regional leagues. result.

This also means that the Second Division of the Western Association is the last level of the Spanish National League, and the next level is the regional competition.

And this Ibiza island club ranked 3th in Group 6 of the Western Association B this season, and will still participate in Group 3 games next season, and there is also the Espanyol B team in this group.

Why did you buy this team?Chen Xiaoliang is the result of careful consideration after being recommended by Riise's team.

First, this team is very cheap, and the combined valuation of the whole team is only 203 million euros, which is equivalent to 1500 million red national currency.

Not to mention Chen Xiaoliang, who has an annual salary of 1400 million euros and many endorsements and natural gas fields, this money is an ordinary Donghai citizen, and it may be more than this price to buy a house casually.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this number can buy this team. After all, they still have a small stadium that can accommodate 5000 people.

All in all, the final price negotiated by the two parties was only 390 million euros.

This is already much more expensive than the 120 million euros that Xu Genbao of the Chongming base bought the West C club Lorca back then.

Second, Spain does not have a labor certificate, and only La Liga requires players under the age of 16 not to register with the first team. Low-level leagues have no restrictions on the playing age of players.

Third, like Director Xu, he is interested in Spain's relatively technical football environment.

Fourth, the team is located on Ibiza Island off the east coast of Spain, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. The climate is very pleasant, and the temperature is about 10° at the coldest time. It is a famous European resort.

Fifth, this place is surrounded by the sea, and there are few people in the non-tourist season. It is very suitable for young players to settle down and play football well, instead of being seduced by the colorful world of big cities like many of their predecessors in red country football.

While watching the young players' game, the two chatted about this matter. Dave was elated when he heard the news, and the two hit it off.

It is agreed that players will be selected from several batches of Red Country youth training camps each year to sign a youth training contract, join the Rangers youth training system, and then join the Ibiza Club to participate in the Spanish low-level league when they are 16 years old.

Once the player has made a name for himself, then the Chongming base under Xu's guidance and Dong Dazui's young football player will share the transfer bonus with Rangers and Ibiza Club.

After the discussion between the two, the 60-minute training match of the young players was over. At their invitation, Chen Xiaoliang also joined them to train together.

What's interesting is that the children asked Chen Xiaoliang to perform a shot for them. After all, he can only perform this. Chen Xiaoliang's most powerful steal, who can bear these children under the age of 11 or 12...

Chen Xiaoliang was quite confident. Facing a young goalkeeper surnamed Wang, he received a pass from another young player in the penalty area and hit the goal.

Turns out he overestimated his 5 shooting attributes.

With the first kick, I flew, to the point where not only a plane but a satellite could come down...

With the second kick, he consciously controlled his strength and was thrown down by Xiao Wang...

In the third kick, he increased his strength again. As a result, the little player passed the ball to him a little shorter, and he kicked it...

It's kind of embarrassing...

An 8500 million player of the season in Serie A, the best midfielder, facing a 12-year-old goalkeeper, three consecutive kicks in the penalty area failed to score...

This is really peppering the door of the next-door neighbor's house-it numbs the next door.

Dave and the coaches of the youth training camp couldn't help laughing.

However, Chen Xiaoliang looked calm, and gave Xiao Wang a thumbs up. This perfect coin installation instantly made everyone "understand" that this is the big star's intention to release water and encourage the younger generation.

Chen Xiaoliang then walked out of the penalty area and came to a place about 35 meters away from the goal.

Then he instructed the young players to pass a low ball back to himself about what speed and angle.

Faced with idols in their hearts, young players naturally follow them strictly and meticulously.

Facing the incoming ball, Chen Xiaoliang took three steps to run up and hit the bottom of the ball with all his right foot!

At this time, he doesn't care whether the goalkeeper is 12 years old or 32 years old, whether he is a kid from his own youth training camp or a big friend of the opponent player in the final.

If you don't get into it, you won't lose face... There is also a camera from the Homeless Club to record his "return to his hometown" all the way.

So the two newly acquired skills [good at long-range shooting] and [good at difficult shooting] are just for use.

There was only a loud "bang", and the ball flew out.

Chen Xiaoliang, who used a little outside instep, clearly saw that the ball first flew to the left, as if it was going to fly to the corner flag, and then turned back at the highest point. The speed of the ball and the acceleration from the high point made the ball like Like a falling meteorite, it blasted into the left side of the goal.

Where did the 12-year-old player see this kind of ball in training... he was stunned and stood there motionless...

Everyone around, including Dave and the coach of the youth training team, couldn't help opening their mouths into an O shape.

It's so cruel, he's just a 12-year-old kid...

After a few seconds of silence, the applause immediately rang out!
The young players all cast admiring gazes at Chen Xiaoliang!
Although Chen Xiaoliang knows that this kind of beautiful long shot kicked under the pressure of no confrontation, no running, and no game pressure does not mean that it can be played in a high-intensity official game, but in any case, this kick is still enough to inspire. Great shot from a young player.

He high-fives with the children one by one, encouraging them to cherish the opportunity, learn more and practice more. Even if they grow up, they can become coaches and teach other children to play football even if they don’t take the path of professional players.

That night, Dave wanted to stay with Chen Xiaoliang for dinner, but Chen Xiaoliang declined.

Because he hadn't taken his driver's license yet, he asked David to drive him to the Red Country restaurant near Celtic Park, where an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time was waiting for him.

When the two met, it was a big hug.

The few tables of guests in the small restaurant recognized him immediately, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

David followed the old rules, parked the car at the door, leaned against the car, lit a cigarette, and observed the surrounding situation at any time to make sure nothing would go wrong.

The two ordered some local dishes, such as rotten shredded pork, crucian carp soup, vegetable rice and the like.

Chen Xiaoliang asked: "Sister Xiao Shen, are you going home?"

Shen Mengyu: "I won't go back. I'm not like you. I am admired by all the stars and sought after by all. I came here to play the first full season. I finally integrated into the team and teammates. I want to take advantage of the summer to interact more with the local teammates. Interaction. And the offseason is only a few weeks away, and the Internet is convenient, so I won’t go back for now.”

Chen Xiaoliang took out his mobile phone with a smile, and sent her a photo: "Then will this one go?"

Seeing his expression, Shen Mengyu knew that something good must happen.

"Hey! Champions League final! Go go go!!!"

What Chen Xiaoliang sent her was the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League final to be held at the Stade de France tomorrow night. The two teams against were Real Madrid and Liverpool.

"Aren't you going with your German girlfriend?" Shen Mengyu asked.

Chen Xiaoliang laughed: "The whole family are Dortmund fans. Dortmund won the Champions League in 97, and it was her grandfather Heathfield who led the team at that time."

"In 98, Dortmund was still very strong, and reached the semi-finals all the way, but was eliminated by Real Madrid."

"Unexpectedly, only one year later, in 1, her grandfather was already coaching Bayern Munich, and their family naturally supported Bayern to win the championship. The result was the semi-finals of the Champions League, and Real Madrid again, killing Bayern again."

"She said that she was only 12 years old at the time, and she cried with her sister when she saw her grandfather eliminated, and Real Madrid became the team they hated the most, and she resolutely refused to watch Real Madrid games, hahahaha! I heard I died laughing at the end, so I came to invite you."

Shen Mengyu: "Oh, if Real Madrid invites you from now on, will you go or not?"

Chen Xiaoliang: "Haha, sister, you have turned bad anyway. This question has bad intentions, but I know you definitely want me to go. Modric is your favorite football star."

Shen Mengyu: "That's right! I hope that Croatia will have good results in this year's World Cup! But brother, I almost never lost a game in your games. I think with your progress this season, you will soon surpass Modric."

Chen Xiaoliang: "It's far away, he is a legend, 5 Champions League champions, and the Golden Globe Award, I will take the lead to surpass him..."

Shen Mengyu: "I'm talking about ability. Of course, the trophy depends on the team, time, and luck. I found that your speed has improved by leaps and bounds recently. How did you practice? Teach my sister."

"Uh…"

Chen Xiaoliang almost choked upon hearing this question.

I raced hard, trained hard, and then used the system to point out...

Can you answer that?Obviously not...

Chen Xiaoliang: "I seem to have developed again recently, and I don't know why I became faster. Even Helena was surprised, saying how I became faster and faster."

Shen Mengyu: "Well...you are still young, you are still growing."

She paused, and suddenly blushed: "Huh?! What are you talking about?"

Chen Xiaoliang was also taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that he accidentally said the "truth": "No! Where are you going!"

He quickly changed the topic: "Sister, how do you think the level of the Su Chao and the domestic women's football league is compared?"

Shen Mengyu thought for a while: "If the Celtics women's football team and the East China Sea women's football team play a game with all the main players, I think it's not the same, and the level is actually about the same."

"However, the organization of the league, especially the logistics and training teams, as well as the entire Europe and major well-known clubs have greatly increased their investment in women's football in recent years, which has led to the rapid development of women's football here."

"Don't talk about the best women's football clubs in Europe, such as Barcelona, ​​Lyon, and Chelsea, but let's talk about our Celtics, nutritionists, sports science consultants, and physiotherapy teams. Many of them are shared with men's football. Training grounds And the facilities are also set up according to the standards of men's football, which is not seen in the red country."

"At present, the transfer fee of the best women's football player in the world is only 30-40 euros, which is like no money for a big European club, and the football atmosphere here is very good, and many people watch women's football matches , Just like the Women's European Cup to be held in July, many games sold 7 tickets. I heard that in the final at Wembley, more than 3 tickets were sold out, so big clubs I am also willing to invest because there is support from the ball market.”

"Plus, the marketing here is also better, they will let me and Joe Hart of the men's team make a promotional film, such a film can not only promote our women's team in Europe, but also promote Kyle in the red country. Special men's team."

"Like the women's Ballon d'Or winner Putras you know, whether it's the Ballon d'Or or UEFA's best player, every time she goes to the award ceremony to accept the award, Barcelona will have a special team to design and customize for her. It’s all part of the club’s external marketing and PR.”

Chen Xiaoliang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this: "Sister, do you want to go to a bigger club? Maybe I can help."

Shen Mengyu smiled gratefully, but shook her head: "I know my current level. The level of the Suchao women's football team in Europe is similar to the situation of the Suchao men's football team in Europe. They are both inferior to the top and more than the bottom. I think this team The team is quite suitable for me, the top giants of women's football like Lyon and Barcelona, ​​even if I go, it is difficult to have a chance to play, let's see in two years, after all, people still have to find their own position."

Afterwards, the two chatted a lot, and invited David to come over for dinner.

After eating, one went back to the hotel and the other to the dormitory, packed their bags, and flew to Paris early the next morning.

The second time I came to Paris, for Chen Xiaoliang, everything is still very good.

The UEFA Champions League final at the Stade de France made him amazed and could not calm down for a long time.

利物浦在射门24比4、射中9比2、角球6比2、控球率54比46、全场各项数据全面压制的情况下，最终却凭借门将库尔图瓦在门前封神般的表现，以及一次简单的后场推进反击，巴尔韦德助攻维尼修斯打进全场唯一进球，皇家马德里第14次捧起了欧冠大耳朵杯。

At this time, Chen Xiaoliang's heart was full of the words that Mourinho often talked about-defense leads to champions.

The Spanish giants who put down their figure finally took away the trophy, leaving only Klopp, who was hit by the storm on the cotton, with a helpless face.

全场最佳给了9次扑救获得9.4分的库尔图瓦，而全场第2高分8.0分则给了贡献3次解围、3次拦截的后腰卡塞米罗。

Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help drooling, thinking that if he was in Rome, with such a guy behind him, he wouldn't have any worries.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent a text message to Riise: "Has Pinto settled the matter in Argentina?"

Riise immediately called: "Modan, these useless bastards lost! I'm so mad! I forgot to tell you the first time!"

"Just now I got the faxed confirmation letter of transfer confirmation from FIFA! 1200 million, exactly as you said, plus 25% of the second transfer share, annual salary of 150 million euros, 50 euros floating bonus! Then he also agreed to me becoming his sole agent!"

Chen Xiaoliang: "So easy? AC Milan didn't move?"

Reaser: "They? They didn't even make an offer in the end."

Chen Xiaoliang: "Why?"

Riise: "They think the Pobega rented to Turin is very good, and they think that they don't need to spend money to buy Enzo. Boss, I believe you, this kid is so cheap, Riverbed will let him go, after all Okay ah?"

Chen Xiaoliang: "You old ghost, just wait, when the time comes, I will let you count the money like crazy. What about Dybala and the others? Are you done?"

Riise: Not yet, except that the Georgian will make an official announcement soon. Dybala, Belotti, and Wijnaldum have to wait for Pinto to come back from Argentina before advancing. "

Chen Xiaoliang: "Thank you, Chairman Riise."

Riise: "You f*ck... sarcasm me, people don't know, you don't know that I'm just helping you to be the nominal club president, but this Ibiza island is really nice, Real Madrid players go on vacation every summer, you Make time to check it out!"

Chen Xiaoliang: "Okay, let's not talk about it, I will return to Donghai tomorrow, and I will contact you anytime if I have any news."

Shen Mengyu, who was listening to Chen Xiaoliang's phone call in the car back to the hotel, asked, "Just now you said that Rome bought an Argentine? Is it great?"

Chen Xiaoliang nodded: "Well, we snatched it from someone else, sister, just wait and see, after two months of getting used to it, this kid will definitely become one of the best midfielders in Serie A!"

Shen Mengyu: "Do you still want to buy Dybala? He is a very good player."

Chen Xiaoliang: "Our head coach is full of the Champions League, and I can't help but hope that next season will start soon!"
