Chapter 217 Five Little Dragons
For Chinese fans in the summer of 2011, there are several news that must be paid attention to.
And what is rare is that these news have nothing to do with Zhou Yi at all, at least it seems like this... In fact, these news are insignificant and not worth mentioning in the entire European football world. However, for Chinese fans and Chinese football, it is likely to have extraordinary significance.
Atletico Madrid announced that they have reached a loan agreement with Chelsea Club to loan Sun Pan, a young goalkeeper who is only 19 years old, for a two-year lease. Sun Pan will represent Atletico Madrid's first team in La Liga in the new season.
Barcelona Club issued a regular press release informing the following players that they will leave La Macia, some who have left on transfers and some who have left on loan, and He Ying's name is included. In the column of the player's destination, it says "Valadolid" and the way of leaving the team says "Loan".
In addition, while looking through Schalke 04's official website, a reporter found Yang Muge's photos and introductions on the pre-season training roster of the first team in the new season.
In China, the media gave the five people who went abroad for a reality show a collective name, called "Five Little Dragons".
Now, these five little dragons finally seem to be taking off together.
They entered the public's vision through different channels.
But wait... it seems that someone has been forgotten?
In mid-July, Inter Milan officially confirmed that they had reached an agreement with Cesena Club and officially bought out the Japanese full-back Yuto Nagato who was loaned last season during the winter break. The team's head coach Leonardo revealed on the website that Yuto Nagato could participate with enough energy and wisdom when participating in the Copa America, and maintain enough physical fitness and passion as much as possible after the Copa America.
Obviously, Yuu Nagato is already an indispensable member of Leonardo's new season plan.
The media disclosed that Yuuto Nagato's transfer to Inter Milan was 4.5 million, which is 500,000 more than the 4 million priority buyout amount agreed by the two teams at the time.
But in fact Inter Milan only paid 4.25 million in cash, and the remaining 250,000 yuan was offset by player transactions.
The person who added the transfer deal to Yuto Nagato is a person who is not familiar with but not unfamiliar with Chinese fans - Guo Nu.
Guo Nu, who performed well in Inter Milan's youth team, was not recruited into the first team after demonstrating his talent. On the one hand, perhaps the Inter Milan's first team believes that his strength is still far from the first team's requirements, but on the other hand, it may be related to the fact that Inter Milan's first team is in the back line, especially in the central defender.
However, Inter Milan did not give it to Cesena. They just transferred half of Guo Nu's ownership to Cesena, and allowed Guo Nu to play on behalf of Cesena.
"Old Guo, you actually made a big fist for the Japanese!" In the group, Sun Pan laughed at the last Guo Nu who had confirmed his future.
"So what? Playing with a ball is better than anything else!" Guo Nu retorted.
"You are right, to be realistic, no matter who you are giving me a shot, you can just play the ball." Zhou Yi rarely defended Guo Nu.
"Zhou Yi still understands me!" Guo angrily said.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yi said, "But Lao Guo, why is your worth 250,000 euros? 250,000 yuan, Inter Milan's price is simply a naked human attack. You are 250 yuan!"
"Puff!" Sun Pan smiled.
"Haha!" He Ying also laughed.
"What two hundred and five?" Guo quit, angrily scolding Zhou Yi's fallacies, was simply deafening. "I gave half of the ownership to Cesena, half two hundred and five okay!!"
"Okay!" Zhou Yi immediately followed the story below.
"Damn..." Guo Nu reacted immediately. He quickly sent a look of covering his face and smiling bitterly. At this moment, facing Zhou Yi, who was as cunning as a fox, he could only use this expression to fully express his heart.
"Ah hahahahaha!" Sun Pan rolled in the group with a smile.
"Old Guo, you..." He Ying couldn't help it.
Yang Muge corrected Guo Nu with laughter and cry: "Old Guo, wouldn't it be enough to say that your value is 500,000 yuan? Why do you say that you are half of it and 250 yuan..."
After some fun, everyone began to look forward to their new season.
Basically, I always look forward to how I play as the main player in the team, perform well, get promoted and raise, and reach the peak of my life.
At the end, Yang Muge calmed down and said to everyone: "Apart from Zhou Yi, we are not sure whether we can play a real first-team game in the new season. So everyone should work hard! If there is a chance, don't let it go and catch it!"
He encouraged everyone with the words Hao Junmin gave him.
"Yes, come on, everyone. Let's try to travel to London together next year!" Zhou Yi also said.
※※※
Except for the four little dragons of Zhou Yi who seemed to appear from the dark mud, they were discovered by everyone.
Before, everyone knew very little about their performance in the club. Youth-level competitions cannot be broadcast in China.
And now, they can look forward to seeing more Chinese players in the new season.
Sun Pan is at Atletico Madrid, Yang Muge is at Schalke 04, Guo Nu is at Cesena, La Liga and Bundesliga and Serie A are both live broadcasts in China for free.
As long as they can play games, they are not afraid of not being able to see it.
The only difficulty is probably He Ying. He went to a Spanish Second Division team from Barcelona's youth training camp, but there is no broadcast of the Spanish Second Division in China. Many people don't quite understand why He Ying, who was originally the most talented and promising among these five people, seems to be the worst now?
Before Zhou Yi, he was the hope star of Chinese football at the age of 90.
It was more lively when going to La Macia than when Zhou Yi went to Dortmund. Everyone hoped that he could become the first Chinese player to play in the Barcelona jersey at the Camp Nou.
But two years have passed, and he went to a Spanish Second Division team on loan. Is this considered degeneration?
Will a star of hope fall?
Faced with the troubles from the outside world, He Ying was very calm inside. Because he already knew what his goal was and what kind of road he would take before reaching this goal. He was ready and did not think that playing in a low-level league would be a self-deprecating depravity. Sun Pan could shine in the third-level league in Germany and become famous in one game, why can't he do it?

When everyone's future begins to become clearer, Dortmund ushered in their first official game of the new season on July 24th.
In the German Super Cup, Dortmund vs. Schalke 04.
The German Super Cup is a very young event. It has only been held since its inception in 1977. It has only been held for 16 sessions, because there are many times that there are not every year. For example, there are four years between the first Super Cup and the second Super Cup. There are still more than ten years between the Super Cup and the German League Cup. It was not until 2008 that the German League Cup was cancelled due to the European Cup and the German Super Cup was restored.
And sometimes this cup is an official match that is not recognized by the German Football Association. It was not until the German Super Cup in 2010 that it was rewrite and accepted by the German Football Association and became an official match.
In the history of the German Super Cup, Bayern Munich and Dortmund are the most successful teams, with four wins. Hamburg is the most unlucky team. He has participated in the Super Cup three times in history, but has never won a single championship.
Schalke participated in the Super Cup for the first time last year, and lost to Bayern Munich 0:2.
Last season, they finally won the German Cup and qualified to participate in the new Super Cup.
This is a Ruhr derby in the Super Cup, and it is also the first time this has happened in Super Cup history.
The day before the Super Cup, the Chinese team without Zhou Yi ushered in the first game of the Brazilian World Cup qualifiers at home, and their opponent was Laos. When everyone thought that the Chinese team would easily defeat Laos, the Chinese team was unable to get into the state for a long time and even lag behind Laos 1:2 in the first half. It was not until the second half that it woke up like a dream and finally defeated Laos 7:2.
It was originally a game with no suspense, but it almost caused suspense. It made people worry about the performance of this Chinese team without Zhou Yi. They were worried about whether the national team was too dependent on Zhou Yi... What if Zhou Yi was injured or unable to play?
Those who are worried about the Chinese team's dissatisfaction with the performance of this game just now can pay attention to the German Super Cup. Maybe they can find some answers from it.
Because of this game, two Chinese players were on the roster.
