ball at foot

"To be honest, the football environment in China is much worse than I imagined. I thought I could get out of a perverted country like Zhao Yaning. No matter what, I had a good foundation, but this place really disappointed me. "

Walking in the training ground, Ronaldinho spoke in a low voice.

Barcelona’s visit to China this time, many members of the Spanish national team did not come for some reason, and even Alves went back halfway. Now Barcelona is where Ronaldinho and Messi bring a group of children from the youth team. Here, the two of them don't stay together, let alone have a common language with others.

The activities arranged for them by the Chinese side, in addition to a game, are more about playing ball with a group of children.After all, they are a cooperative unit of UNICEF, and it is not easy to refuse such a thing. However, during contact, they discovered that the strength of these children is really too...too helpless.

The football here is poorly developed - this is the intuitive impression of two people.Their football does not look like a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. It is completely like a football backward country.The older the players, the worse their level is. Those who are almost adults can't tell that there are guys with astonishing demeanor like Zhao Yaning.In contrast, their teenagers are full of vigor and vitality when they play football.

"I came here in 2008, but at that time, I didn't pay attention to football." Ronaldinho and Messi admitted, "I thought they would be better."

"I also came here in 2008, the Olympic Games. They performed poorly." Messi said, "I thought Zhao Yaning was not working hard at the time, but now that I think about it, that's not like his style."

"Professional football in China has only been going on for 15 years, and it has been on the right track for less than ten years. Naturally, it is relatively backward." How is it so easy to be successful? At the end of the nineteenth century, football began to be introduced to all parts of the world, but it was not until 1930 that Danube football emerged. In 1938, Italy had the term tactical system. The glory of Brazilian football It came later. Football has never been a sport that can wait for output without investment. China started investing late, so naturally it will get less returns. However, we will not be too weak in the future. As long as we are willing to invest, we will catch up one day."

"We believe there will be such a day." Ronaldinho said politely, "The youth training here is doing well."

"Yes, this is the youth training of the Chinese Football Association. Clubs all over the country are now investing a lot of effort in youth training. We still understand that Zhao Yaning's third place is the same as in 1966 when Eusebio The No.3 of the Olympic Games is almost the same. It is an individual's excellence, not a country's progress. What we want is an overall strength like Portugal's golden generation. After the Olympic Games, football all over the country has increased its investment. We have invested a lot of money, people and material resources to do football well. Now we are still a little bit bad, but in 12 years, we will be strong."

Before the advent of the new century, Portugal only entered the World Cup finals twice in 1966 and 1986, and their No.3 was also won by Eusebio, otherwise, they would not even be able to pass North Korea.It is precisely because of this that the staff will say this.

The development of football does not happen overnight, but if there is investment, there will definitely be returns.Chinese football has gone through too many detours, learning from Germany today, Brazil tomorrow, and Italy the day after tomorrow. After 1930, all countries in the world understood that football must develop according to their own national characteristics. Still tossing, in the final analysis, I just don’t have confidence in the concept of Chinese football.But now, Zhao Yaning has given people confidence and made people believe that following this path, Chinese football also has a future, which makes Chinese football begin to develop continuously.

"In 1956, the Yugoslavia team visited China after winning the Olympic Games and defeated the Chinese team. The national leaders at that time were very dissatisfied and said that they would defeat the Yugoslavia team 13 years later. Only four years later, the national team with Xu Genbao and Qi Wusheng It can be 6-0 Japan...It's a pity that China put football on hold for too long, and it was impossible to beat Yugoslavia. But now, we invested again in 2008. What will happen after 12 years Woolen cloth?"

"Twelve years later... are you really going to host the 12 World Cup? Will Zhao Yaning really participate in the 2022 World Cup?"

Ronaldinho remembered those rumors.

"Who knows? Maybe by then, Zhao Yaning's level will not be enough to join the national team."

These words made both Ronaldinho and Messi laugh, but after laughing, they were also a little bit disappointed.

Indeed, in 2022, at that time, Zhao Yaning should be 38 years old? Is it possible for a 38-year-old to play such a good football?

Their future, or the children here?

And a child in the crowd is the most eye-catching at this time.Although his figure looks slightly smaller than the children around him, no one in the entire team can compare with him, whether it is the momentum when he dribbles and breaks through, or the command he shouts loudly.When he stood on the field, he seemed to be born to be a commander. Standing in the crowd, he stood out from the crowd.

What is even more surprising is that his appearance is different from others.

"Do you still have white people here?" After seeing a child running on the field, Ronaldinho was a little surprised, "There are no white people in your national team."

"This...he is a special case..."

"I warn you, I can hear you talking." The child on the sidelines suddenly spoke, and he spoke excellent Spanish, which also surprised Ronaldinho and Messi.

When they looked carefully, they realized that this child was very different from other children.His skin is indeed very white, but his appearance is completely oriental. In fact, Ronaldinho and Messi don't know what an oriental appearance is, but this child looks a bit like Zhao Yaning. It's just that the eyebrows are beautiful and more beautiful, so the two of them immediately understood.

Are you a mixed race...

"You speak Spanish?"

"Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, I can speak all." The child raised his head proudly, "So don't think you can lie to me in front of me, you are far behind."

"This kid is really smart." Little Luo lowered his head, and in his opinion, what he could say might be just a few words, "Did you learn it from your parents?"

"No, I learned it from my father's friends. There are people there. It's very difficult to learn their language."

The child's adult-like tone made Xiao Luo even more interested. He watched the child play football, and couldn't help but give him a little advice.

"You know me? Do you want my autograph?" Xiao Luo was playing like a kid while talking to the child, "Take my autograph and other kids will envy you."

The child turned his head, "I don't need them to be envious."

"This kid is so fun." Messi also spoke from the side.

"Didn't you ask me why I was happy all summer? I became a father, and a girlfriend of mine in London gave birth to a son for me." Ronaldinho said, "This is a big event."

"How many girlfriends do you have..."

"Those don't matter. I'm a father now, and I have a son. I hope my son will be so beautiful and smart in the future. Of course, he will also play good football like you little guy."

Ronaldinho leaned over to fiddle with the child's hair, but was pushed away by the child, "Don't be kidding, how could your son play the same football as me? He must not be as good as me."

These words made both Ronaldinho and Messi laugh, and Ronaldinho also squatted down, "That's my son, you can see, I play football so well, my son, his talent cannot be bad."

"It must be worse than me—you have been hit back and forth by my father all your life, and both of you have been hit back and forth by my father together. Why does your son stand up? You are better than him, and your son will never play football like mine."

His words made both of them look dumb, and after a while, Xiao Luo spoke, "What's your name?"

"French name? Jean Aquette. Chinese name, Zhao Rang." The child opened his mouth, "Now do you know whose son I am?"

"Is this Zhao Yaning deliberately looking for us to scare us?" Ronaldinho turned his head and said to Messi, "This is impossible!"

"You guys deserve it too? You can't win on the court, so why should you deserve my father's dirty tricks?" The child raised his head.

Ronaldinho looked at Messi, and it took a long time for Messi to speak, "It's a bit like it, and I remember his girlfriend is French? She was a singer before? I can't remember clearly. I was too young at that time." Small, but it's possible."

"He is indeed Zhao Yaning's son." The staff next to him also said, "Otherwise, he would not be qualified to play here-he is the only child here without Chinese nationality, but he also played well here. The best kid. As you can see, this is the u9 team, but he is only 6 years old, but he can also play here, and he is also the boss in this competition. Although he is 6 years old, his physical fitness is better than 9 Children who are [-] years old are good, and technology and consciousness are not on the same level, this child is really quite powerful."

When the two of them turned their heads to watch the kid play football again, they shuddered at the same time.That terrifying figure, excellent footwork, commanding demeanor, coupled with a freely swaying aura...

"Why do I think he will be even more perverted than his father in the future?"

"I hope it's an illusion," Messi began, "but is it really an illusion?"

"A child who is only six years old, who knows what the future will hold." Xiao Luo looked at him and stood up, "And do we need to take care of the future? What we want to take care of is our own present. .”

"Yeah... After going back this time, we have to fight against Real Madrid. Real Madrid heard that the coach has changed, Ancelotti has been recruited by the Italian national team, and they are looking for a new coach. I want to know, Under the command of the new coach, is Zhao Yaning still so strong?"

"I don't know, but I'm also very interested." Xiao Luo said, "After all, never stop fighting is our pursuit."

What the future holds, we don't know.But now, we just have to seize our opportunity.

Football is moving forward, and our road is also moving forward. How can we stop pursuing on this road?
