Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 648 The Tall Boy

Office buildings, parking lots, training grounds, gyms, locker rooms...

In the empty club, Pei Wei strolled, and every time he passed a building, Pei Wei always stopped to look at it for a while.

Walk, walk, walk, Pei Wei walked to the side of the reserve team's training field, and looked at the empty training field through the barbed wire. From the day it was formed, Yunjiatianyu paid great attention to echelon training, whether it was the reserve team or the team. The echelons of all age groups have training facilities no worse than the first team, and in these echelons, there are countless players who later became the pillars of Yunjiatianyu's first team...

Such as Adriano, such as Du Wei, such as Messi who played in the first team last season and broke the record of the youngest player to play and the record of the youngest player to score in the Chinese League...

Thinking of Messi, Pei Wei smiled slightly. This player who is not yet 17 years old this year played for Yunjia Tianyu as a foreign aid for the first time when he was 16 days away from his [-]th birthday last year. He scored his first professional goal a week later-he has been in China for almost six years, and almost everyone believes that this thin Argentine boy will soon follow Adriano and Following in the footsteps of Deco, he became a Chinese national and became a member of the foreign legion of the Chinese national team...

After tasting the sweetness of Adriano and Deco, all Chinese fans know the benefits of doing so. Of course, for the development of local players, the conditions for foreign players to obtain Chinese nationality have become stricter. Messi shocked the entire Chinese arena at such a young age. I am afraid that public opinion will not support Messi's naturalization of Chinese nationality. After all, before Messi, several foreign players' requests for Chinese nationality were rejected. The importance of the test, after all, if a large number of foreign players who are similar to or just a little higher than Chinese players are allowed to obtain Chinese nationality, the consequences may be extremely serious.

The argument of a well-known football reporter was agreed by the vast majority of fans: "It is good for a foreign player who has the ability of a world-class player, has stayed in China long enough, and is young enough to join the Chinese nationality. Yes, it can quickly improve the overall strength of the Chinese national team to a certain extent, but those foreign players whose strength is not particularly outstanding and who are relatively old become Chinese nationals can only bring about serious consequences.”

To put it bluntly, it is very simple. No one will doubt that with Messi's talent and demonstrated ability, it will be a matter of time before he goes to Europe to play football. Then he will not spare a foreign aid for Yunjia Tianyu after he becomes a Chinese citizen. quota, and those foreign players who can only make a living in the Chinese league, the only benefit of obtaining Chinese nationality is to free up a valuable foreign player quota for his club, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the chances of Chinese local players playing. Reduced - anyone can see this.

Thinking of this, Pei Wei smiled slightly. Originally, when he brought Adriano and the others to China and wanted them to become Chinese nationals, he was not sure in his heart. In fact, this is equivalent to providing a shortcut for future generations , and Pei Wei really knows that there is no shortcut to improve the overall level of national football, except for a solid development foundation and the development of the league.

Obviously, everyone has basically realized this now, at least Pei Wei is not so worried.

Just as Pei Wei was looking at the training ground and thinking about his own affairs, a stammering voice suddenly came from behind: "First... sir, this is the training ground, non-players are not allowed to enter."

Pei Wei sighed in his heart, really, didn't he just leave for a year?To be questioned continuously on his own territory...

But the voice seems very young, does the club's security team use child labor?They don't speak very well...

Pei Wei turned his head while thinking in his heart, was he having a headache, did he have to call out Ribeiro again to prove his identity-who wants the security guards in the club to change frequently, it's normal not to know himself.

Just when he was thinking this way, Pei Wei who turned his head was startled.

It was not yet seven o'clock at this time, and the sun had just risen from the horizon. When Pei Wei turned around, he felt a cloud of shadows covering his head. When he looked closely, he found a shadow that was more than a head taller than him. people are standing behind themselves.

The thick bones supported a huge body, and the strong muscles carried such a desolate atmosphere, which can only be cultivated in the vast and boundless prairie. Appearing in Yunjia, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, seems to be It's so out of place.

But it is such a mighty big man, with a shyness unique to young people on his face. Seeing Pei Wei looking at him, this "boy" stammered and repeated his words: "Sir... ...you can't just come in here...it's only open to fans in the afternoon."

Only then did Pei Wei come back to his senses, and smiled gently: "I'm not a fan... who are you, are you the security guard here?"

While asking, Pei Wei sighed in his heart, where did Ribeiro find such a wonderful person?Look at his size, no matter if he is a thief or something, he will be shocked when he sees it, right?
Hearing this, the young man puffed out his chest proudly: "I... I am a player of Yunjia Tianyu's U-17 echelon, and I was only promoted from the fifteenth echelon this year."

"You're only 17 years old?" Pei Wei opened his mouth wide in surprise: "My God, how tall are you?"

The boy replied embarrassedly, "No... I'm only 15 years old, and I'm [-] meters tall, sir."

"Wow, what did you eat to grow up..." Pei Wei squeezed his arm enviously. Pei Wei, who is only 1.7 meters tall, has always regretted his height: "Why don't you play basketball? Like you Such a height, such an age, maybe he is the next Yao Ming."

The young man scratched his head: "I can't play basketball well, and I can't even play football very well. Although I'm the forward in the team, I can't always score goals...I'm so stupid, and my reaction is not good enough." Slow and poor technique, I can only stand in front and grab headers every game."

It seems that this guy is really young at heart, after being teased by Pei Wei for a few words, he actually forgot to ask Pei Wei what he was here for, and complained to him instead.

"Why did you come so early?" Pei Wei looked at his watch: "Echelon training starts at eight o'clock, and it's not even seven o'clock now."

"It's seven o'clock? Oops, I'm late today." The boy hurriedly opened the door of the training base and walked in: "I come here at 06:30 every day... I'm stupid, I need to train more, I His physical strength is very good, others train for eight hours, I train for twelve hours, and I can always catch up, uncle, don’t you think so?”

Pei Wei nodded fiercely: "That's right, hard work can make up for one's weakness, and you are not useless. It is a great advantage for you to be able to recognize your own shortcomings... And don't you know that your height is a valuable asset?" .”

"My height?" The boy pointed to his nose. His height has always been the object of ridicule by his friends since he was a child. After all, among a group of friends who are obviously much shorter than himself, he is an outlier. No one in Jiatianyu's echelon laughed at him anymore, but the young man still knew that his tall body was an obstacle restricting his progress - he was not flexible enough, and skills were difficult to learn, all because of his height!

But now this middle-aged uncle with a gentle face but a natural sense of confidence in front of him said that his height is a precious asset!

This was the first time I heard about it. Although the young man didn't believe it, he looked at Pei Wei with anticipation, hoping that he could say something that made him believe it. After all, he also hoped to play better.

"In the past... there was a coach who also had a player under him. Like you, other people commented on him as having nothing but height, and even his physical fitness was worse than yours." Pei Wei said leisurely: "This coach conducted the most stringent devil training on this player. Starting from the most basic training, this player would vomit every day during training... Finally, this player couldn't bear it anymore. After all, he was only a 16-year-old. A [-]-year-old boy... So one day, he approached the coach and said he wanted to quit."

"What happened later?" The young man was fascinated by what he said, how much he said, but he never thought of quitting.

Pei Wei smiled gently. He patted the lawn beside him and signaled the boy to sit down beside him: "The coach asked him: 'Why do you think so?' The player replied: 'Everyone is laughing at me , I also know that apart from being tall, I have nothing, and my physical strength is not good, and I will only drag others down!' Guess how the coach answered?"

"I don't know." The boy answered honestly.

Pei Wei laughed, and found that he began to like this honest little guy: "The coach said: 'There is nothing but height? Isn't that great? Physical fitness and skills can be trained the day after tomorrow, but I But I can't make my players grow taller... Even if I am a famous coach, I can't do it, height is your most precious wealth!'”

The young man was delighted when he heard it, and every word of this passage hit his heart heavily: "Then what happened after that?"

"Later, the player became one of the best centers in that area and led the team to keep moving forward." Pei Wei ended his words with a smile: "Look, you have everything that player has, and what he doesn't have, you You also have the same, so why don’t you have confidence in yourself? As a center forward, you don’t need to have very good skills. The restricted area is the stage for you to play. Think about Tony, when he first came to Yunjia Tianyu, he also A forward with nothing but height, but he has always been Yunjia Tianyu's absolute main force, and now he has become an excellent shooter in Serie A, so you have to work hard."
