Football: The immortal legend on the green field

In order to concentrate on preparing for the World Youth Championship, Shen Bin eliminated all external interference and even handed his mobile phone to his team agent Alan Nelson. Now is the summer offseason. This summer, there is no World Cup or European Cup. The football world seems to be a stopped alarm clock, lifeless. The only thing that interests the media is the turbulent transfer market.

The world's most influential Transfermarkt website listed the top ten players most likely to change clubs this summer as soon as the season ended. There is no doubt that Shen Bin ranked first in this summer's transfer market.

The estimated transfer fee given by Transfermarkt is 3000 million euros, and the next club is expected to be Manchester United or Juventus.

In second place is Ramos, a young player currently playing for Sevilla. The 20-year-old may transfer to Real Madrid for 2500 million euros.

The third is Roma's Cassano, who may move to Juventus with an estimated transfer fee of 1800 million euros.

Fourth place is Van Bommel. The Ajax midfielder may transfer to Barcelona. The estimated transfer fee given by Transfermarkt is 1800 million euros.

Fifth is the 24-year-old Gilardino, who is currently playing for Parma. He may transfer to AC Milan for 1500 euros.

Domestic fans saw a Chinese name again after Shen Bin. Deng Zhuoxiang ranked sixth. With an estimated price of 1200 million euros, he may transfer to AC Milan.

The sixth, seventh and eighth are veterans Essien, Van der Meyde and Karimi. These three veterans may leave their old clubs and transfer to Everton, Chelsea and Bayern Munich for 1000 million euros.

Ninth is Tiote, who has just become a Chinese citizen. Transfermarkt estimates that he may transfer to Premier League Newcastle for 800 million euros.

The last one is another Asian player from Haarlem. Japanese Shinji Kagawa may transfer to Bundesliga's Dortmund for 600 million euros.

There is nothing else, except that Transfermarkt announced that this summer is the opening season of Haarlem Athletic Supermarket. In addition to the four Asian players mentioned above in the top ten, local player Gural will return to Ajax to enhance Ajax's competitiveness in the Eredivisie. Because Ajax owns half of Gural, his return is not a transfer in the pure sense, so Gural is not listed above.

The estimated price that Transfermarkt gave to Gular was 1200 million euros.

Last summer's record transfer target was Drogba, who moved from Marseille to Chelsea for 3850 million euros. The year before last, the record transfer target was Beckham, who moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid for 3750 million euros.

This year is also called a bad year for transfers by people in the football world. There are basically no mature big-name stars, and the valuable ones are all newly emerging young talents. The reason why Shen Bin failed to break through the prices of Beckham and Drogba in the past two years is that in Shen Bin's contract, the penalty for breach of contract is only 3000 million. If the buyer and seller cannot reach an agreement, the buyer will not hesitate to take out 3000 million to take Shen Bin away.

Also, next year is the World Cup year, and almost all the big clubs will wait another year to gather funds and capital, and join the feast after the World Cup to compete for the stars who shine in the World Cup.

What embarrassed Transfermarkt was that one day after Transfermarkt published the list, Real Madrid officially announced that they had signed 2250-year-old Brazilian genius Robinho from Santos for 21 million euros, which severely slapped Transfermarkt in the face.

On the day when Real Madrid announced that Robinho had joined the Galacticos, Pele, the Big Mouth Crow, announced that Robinho was his true successor, and that the others, such as Romario, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, were all pseudo-successors to the king of football.

Fortunately, he did not mention Maradona, otherwise it would have been another verbal battle that would have been difficult to stop.

On June 6, half a month before the opening of the FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, the Chinese Football Association announced the list of members of the Chinese youth team for the FIFA World Youth Championship on its official website.

Team leader: Gao Haiyang

Advisor: Arihan

Head coach: Krauthen

Assistant coaches: Jia Xiuquan, Li Bin

Goalkeeping coach: Zhang Huikang

Team members: Goalkeepers No. 1 Zeng Cheng (Surabaya, Indonesia), No. 12 Qiu Shengjun (Shanghai Shenhua), No. 22 Yang Cheng (Shandong Luneng)

后卫：2号张凡林（上海崇明徐根宝足球基地）、3号冯萧霆（大连万达）、4号吕建军（哈尔滨毅腾）5号谭望松（四川冠城）13号赵明（延边现代）14号万厚良（上海中远）15号范维伟（山东鲁能）

中场：6号沈彬（荷兰哈勒姆竞技）、7号蒂奥特（荷兰哈勒姆竞技）、8号陈韬（荷兰SBV精英）、10号邓桌翔（荷兰哈勒姆竞技）、11号郝俊闵（法国圣埃蒂安）、16号周海宾（山东鲁能）、17号兆旭日（大连万达）、19号白岳峰（长春亚泰）

前锋：9号董芳卓（英国曼彻斯特联队）、18号姜宁（北京国安）、19号郜琳（上海申花）、20号杨旭（辽宁中誉）、21号孙可（江苏舜天）

As soon as the list was announced to the public, public opinion was in an uproar. The national youth team members who had fought for the country for two years were unexpectedly purged half a month before the game. Only 22 of the 10 people on the original list were selected to go to the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, and 12 were eliminated.

There are also two goalkeepers among the 10 selected people. It can be seen from the published numbers that among the 10 selected people, only Feng Xiaoting and Dong Fangzhuo occupy the main positions, and the other eight are very likely to appear as substitutes.

"Who is Zeng Cheng? Playing football in Indonesia? Oh my God, is the moon rounder abroad than at home? Even someone who plays football in Indonesia can be selected for the national youth team, and judging by the number, he is the starting goalkeeper. Is this wrong? Is there any justice?"

"Zhang Fanlin? Judging from the suffix, she is a student of Xu Genbao's football school. She is not even a professional athlete. What are the Football Association and the coaching staff doing?"

"Who has heard of Tan Wangsong?"

A Sichuanese netizen explained, "Tan Wangsong - currently playing for the second-tier team Sichuan Guancheng Youth Team, he is the substitute for the substitute of the Sichuan Guancheng Youth Team."

Another netizen commented below; "Wow! Is it so magical? This is a step to heaven!"

"Does Jiangsu Suning in the A-B League have a player like Sun Ke? I'm from Nanjing and I watch Jiangsu Suning's games all year round, so how come I don't know who Sun Ke is? And this kid is only 16 years old. The Football Association is kidding! Are you sure he can handle the collisions of European and American players who are two or three years older than him? They won't be sent back early because they are disabled before the World Youth Championship is over!"

"You're overthinking it. Looking at this roster, it's obvious that the China Youth Team is playing a 21-- formation. Dong Fangzhuo is the only starting striker. Look at that guy named Sun Ke, number . He's obviously a substitute for a substitute for a substitute for a substitute. He's just going on a trip."

The outside disturbances did not interfere with the work of the National Youth Team. The players are preparing for the game in full swing, and the coaching staff and logistics team are also very busy.

Liu Ran, the director of the Football Association Office and the head of the national football reserve team, looked at an envelope on the table, which was bulging with a lot of stuff. "These guys are really troublesome!" He sneered, then opened the envelope, divided the "Report on the Fighting Involving Tan Wangsong in the National Youth Team" into several copies, and stuffed them into the shredder.

The report was stuffed in, and what came out was nothing but scraps of paper, which were then swept into the wastebasket beside him by Liu Ran.

A day later, the National Youth Team held a simple farewell party for Mei Fang, Chi Zhongguo, Wu Xi, Ren Hang, Zhu Ting and more than a dozen other National Youth Team members at the Beijing Hotel. Most of those who left were reluctant to leave and shed tears. Those who stayed, in addition to feeling a little lucky, were more regretful and reluctant to leave. Although Gao Haiyang said that everyone should be happy, the World Youth Championship is only the initial stage for players of your age group, and there will be training opportunities in the future. I hope everyone can work hard to improve themselves and strive to catch the bus to the 08 Beijing Olympics.

But everyone knows that this day is the cruelest day in the happy and fulfilling training years.
