Champion’s Heart

In fact, there were times when Zhou Yi didn't know which way to go. He wasn't born knowing which way he should go, which way he was suitable for. Without this reality show, he might just be walking on another road. He may have some achievements on this road, but more likely he will not.

If there is no better option, then this is the only way he can go.

But because of participating in this reality show, because of meeting his teammates, because coming to Europe broadened his horizons and felt the charm of high-level football, and because he had a little golden finger in his brain, he finally recognized What is the way he should go.

From this point of view, Zhouyi is actually lucky, because many people have spent their entire lives without finding which path they really should take. Some people think that they are going the right way until they die, but they are going wrong.

Many, many people have lost their way in life.

Hey, Zhou Yi, what do you think? Sun Pan asked Zhou Yi who was standing on the treadmill and was about to start physical training.

During dinner, Zhou Yi dropped a bombshell on everyone's hearts, and many people still haven't calmed down yet.

They couldn't understand why Zhou Yi refused such a good opportunity given by God?

Some people were even very upset - Zhou Yi gave up the opportunity so easily, it was a waste of money! If it were me, I would absolutely seize this opportunity no matter what!

The person who has this idea is... Liang Qiqi.

Liang Qiqi was very upset, no matter how he looked at Zhou Yi, he felt that every cell in his body was pretending to be aggressive.

I don't think much about it, I just feel that since I want to take this road seriously, I can't just settle down...

Damn it, you call going to Arsenal a 'just'?! Sun Pan was startled.

Sun Pan, are you really not an Arsenal fan? Zhou Yi was also very strange.

I'm a Xiangbei fan! Don't change the subject, let me ask you, why do you just let it go?

Well... I still want to go to a team that can really value me and understand me. After all, I am not from formal professional training, and I am different from you.

You think Arsenal don't value you?

They won't even give me a special talent quota!

Damn it, I won't give it to you in exchange for me!

Break off!

Okay, okay. Yang Muge hurriedly came out to smooth things over, I think it's normal if Zhou Yi didn't agree, it's no big deal. With Zhou Yi's performance, I don't believe that only Arsenal have taken a fancy to him. There will definitely be teams coming in the future. I was looking for him. So I promised too early, what if there is a better team coming?

A better team? Sun Pan looked at Yang Muge, frowned, and then his eyes lit up. Barcelona?

It's not impossible. Anyway, I think Zhou Yi's playing style is very suitable for Barcelona. Yang Muge said.

That's right. Sun Pan clapped his hands. If it's Barcelona...it won't be a big deal to reject Arsenal!

Then he began to look forward to Zhou Yi: If it is really possible to go to Barcelona... La Masia, tsk tsk! What a sight!

Guo Nu next to him also said excitedly: I, I, I also want to...

Sun Pan waved his hand, like expelling a fly: Don't think about it, you're out of luck.

B-why? Guo Nu stared at Sun Pan and asked.

First, you are a defender, and second, you are short... Sun Pan counted his fingers, but Zhou Yi interrupted him.

The second point is not a reason, Sun Pan. Lao Guo's height of 75 meters is not short in Barcelona...

Old Guo, Zhou Yi insulted your team. I'm not a picky person, but I definitely can't stand this matter...

Don't provoke dissension, I'm serious. Didn't you listen carefully when you visited La Masia? The technical director said,

Didn’t Ruiz, the founder of La Masia, do the first thing after he became the head of Barcelona’s youth training academy? Please leave the' tagline? So now Barcelona players are generally not high, there is a reason!

Is there such a thing? Sun Pan looked at Yang Muge suspiciously. Although Zhou Yi's expression was very serious, but based on his understanding of Zhou Yi, he was not sure whether Zhou Yi's serious words were nonsense, so he chose to ask for help. Outside audience Yang Muge.

Yang Muge nodded: That's right, the technical director did say that, and said that the philosophy of La Masia's youth training is 'Talent is the only criterion'.

Look, I'm right. Zhou Yi spread his hands.

Why did Zhou Yi remember this matter so clearly? Because when Garcia, the technical director of La Masia, told everyone that the founder of La Masia was not Cruyff, but Ruiz, whom he had never heard of, Zhou Yi was surprised and curious. Only then did I remember this clearly, and it left a deep impression on me.

But when it comes to the relationship between La Masia and Cruyff, it's a long story.

To put it simply, it was because Montal, then the chairman of the Barcelona club, was dissatisfied with the performance of the youth team and invited Ruiz as the head coach of the youth team. It was a matter of 1972. Two years later, Ruiz became the head of the youth training academy. He pointed out the direction for La Masia's future development, that is, to abandon the standard of measuring players based on simple physical fitness, and to use talent theory.

After Ruiz pointed out the direction for La Masia, Toth turned it into reality. Some media commented that without Toth, there would be no birth of La Masia. Toth was initially responsible for the youth training The coach, in 1979, assisted Nunez in creating the La Masia youth training base and served as the director of youth training. During his more than 30 years of working career, he has discovered countless talented players for Barcelona. He is the builder of La Masia.

And Cruyff is an important figure who made La Masia break away from the simple meaning of youth training and rose to the strategic significance of the entire Barcelona club. His arrival changed La Masia and Barcelona. Barcelona's current brilliance has a lot to do with the fact that when he first came to Barcelona to take over as the head coach, he first called all the youth team coaches and made his request.

Cruyff's requirements are simple: teams at all levels must use the 433 formation and establish the belief of possessing the ball, passing it and using technology to disrupt the opponent.

Without his request, La Masia is just La Masia and Barcelona is Barcelona. La Masia's greatest achievement may be that, like Real Madrid's Castilla youth academy, it can provide blood for the entire La Liga and train many qualified and even excellent professional players, but it cannot be used by the youth academy. Identity has such a profound impact on the development and pattern of a club and even the entire world football.

So now when everyone talks about La Masia, Cruyff must be mentioned. In addition to the reason why Cruyff is more famous in the public mind than Ruiz and Todt, there are also reasons for this.

Cruyff is a link between the past and the next, and the link between the past and the latter. His vision far surpassed the limitations of the development of world football and people's thinking at that time. Although he only led the Dream Team to one Champions League championship, time proved Cruyff's wisdom little by little in the following years.

Therefore, until now, Cruyff, as the godfather of the Barcelona club, no one dared to say no.

Guo Nu was very happy to hear Zhou Yi say this: Then, is that just me...

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi also shook his head at him: Old Guo, don't think too much. He patted Guo Nu's shoulder and said in a sad tone.

Guo Nu lowered his head in frustration.

The warm man Yang Muge quickly comforted: Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to this issue, Lao Guo. Barcelona doesn't like you, but it doesn't mean that other clubs don't like you. I believe that with your performance in these games, you will definitely It has attracted the attention of some scouts. Zhou Yi's incident shows that our game can attract the interest of those European scouts.

Thank, thank you, Yang Muge. I feel, feel much better...

Sun Pan was excited when he heard Yang Muge say this: Will it be me? My performance is very good!

Before Yang Muge could speak, Zhou Yi said beside him: Anyway, Arsenal will definitely not look at a goalkeeper who concedes seven goals in 45 minutes...

Zhou Yi, don't you practice anymore! What are you doing standing still, run! If you are lazy, you will be replaced at halftime in this last game!

After the evening special training, Zhou Yi returned to his room, where He Ying was waiting for him.

Then asked: Why didn't you agree to go to Arsenal?

Zhou Yi suddenly felt very annoyed. Will everyone greet him in the future, instead of saying Did you eat today? but Why don't you go to Arsenal...

He Ying didn't wait for Zhou Yi to answer, and continued, For you, that's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right?

Facing He Ying's question, Zhou Yi spread his hands: For Zhou Yi, who is sitting in Class Three, Class Three, Qingyang No. 1 High School, this is the case.

What's the meaning?

I don't want to be a student anymore, I want to be a professional player, a very, very successful professional player, Zhou Yi said.

He Ying was stunned.

I'm seventeen years old. I'll be eighteen by this time next year. I'm considered an adult. Today, some teammates said that my foundation is weak and I should train in the youth team for a few more years. I don't think so. That's why I hope to get in touch with a higher level of football. This is the critical period for me to play long balls. What I need is not a lot of training, but a lot of games. I have already felt deeply after that. I want to play in the first team as soon as possible, and I hope to go to a team that promises me the first team, even if it is not a wealthy team. I don’t care about the reputation and number of fans of the team I join. It is enough to play football, pay attention to me, and understand me. I don’t want to spend a few years in a wealthy youth team and waste the best time.”

Zhou Yi finished speaking in one breath, and he decided that this was the last time to answer this question, and no matter who asked in the future, he would talk nonsense.

Arsenal's ranking is too low, they can't even get into the top three!

I'm not an Arsenal fan!

The weather in London is terrible and the food is not good!

London (a hundred years ago) had smog!

...

And so on, which reason do you like, please ask yourself.

Finally, he looked at He Ying in a daze and said, This is my little ambition.
