Chapter 75 Small ambitions
In fact, Zhou Yi has had times when he didn't know which path to take. He was not born to know which path to take and which path to take. If there was no such reality show, he might have been on another path. He might have achieved some results on this path, but more likely not.
If there is no better choice, then this is the only way he can go.
But because he participated in this reality show, met his teammates, came to Europe to broaden his horizons, felt the charm of high-level football, and because he had a small golden finger in his brain, he finally realized what he should go.
From this point of view, Zhou Yi is actually lucky because many people spend their entire lives and never find any way they should take. Some people think that the path they are taking is right, but they take the wrong one.
Many people, many people, are lost in their lives.
"Hey, Zhou Yi, what do you think?" Sun Pan asked Zhou Yi, who was standing on the treadmill and preparing to start physical training.
While having supper, Zhou Yi dropped a bombshell in everyone's heart, and many people have not recovered yet.
They completely couldn't understand why Zhou Yi refused because God gave such a good opportunity?
Some people are even very unhappy that Zhou Yi gave up the opportunity so easily, which is simply a waste of resources and exchanged for himself. He absolutely said that he should seize this opportunity no matter what.
The person who has this idea is... Liang Qiqi.
Liang Qiqi was very unhappy. No matter how you look at Zhou Yi, you feel that every cell in his body is pretending.
"I didn't think much about it. I just think that since I have to take this path seriously, I can't just settle it..."
"Damn, do you want to call Arsenal?" Sun Pan was shocked.
"Sun Pan, are you really not an Arsenal fan?" Zhou Yi was also very surprised.
"I am a Xiangbei fan and don't change the topic. I ask you, why did you make it?"
"Well... I still want to go to a team that can really value me and understand me. After all, I am not from a formal and professional training, and it is different from you."
"Do you think Arsenal doesn't value you?"
"They don't even give me a special genius spot."
"Damn it, I won't give it to you if I'm going to do it."
"Break Up"
"Okay, OK." Yang Muge hurriedly came out to smooth things over. "I think it's normal for Zhou Yi not to agree. It's no big deal. With Zhou Yi's performance, I don't believe that only Arsenal will fall in love with him. There will definitely be teams coming to find him later. So it was agreed too early. What if a better team comes? "
"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 football style is very suitable for Barcelona." Yang Muge said.
"Yes." Sun Pan slapped. "If it was Barcelona... it would be no big deal to reject Arsenal."
Then he began to look forward to Zhou Yi: "If you can really go to Barcelona... Lamacia, it's a glorious scenery."
Guo Nu, who was next to him, also said excitedly: "I, I, I want to..."
Sun Pan waved his hand like driving a fly: "Don't think about it, you have no chance."
"Why?" Guo glared at Sun Pan and asked.
"First, you are the defender, second, you are still short..." Sun Pan counted his fingers, but Zhou Yi interrupted him.
"The second point is not a reason. Sun Pan and Lao Guo's height of 75 meters is not short in Barcelona..."
"Old Guo, Zhou Yi insults your team. I'm not a person who makes trouble, but I will definitely not be able to bear it if I'm the one who makes me..."
"Don't sow discord, I'm very serious. Didn't you listen carefully when you visited Lamacia? The technical director said that the first thing Ruiz, the founder of Lamacia, did he take down the club headquarters after becoming the head of the Barcelona Youth Training Academy, and if you are here to recommend young players under 1.8 meters tall, then please leave? So there is a reason why Barcelona players are generally not tall now."
"Is this happening?" Sun Pan looked at Yang Muge suspiciously. Although Zhou Yi's expression was serious, based on his understanding of Zhou Yi, he was not sure whether Zhou Yi's serious words were nonsense, so he chose to seek help from the audience outside the venue.
Yang Muge nodded: "That's right, the technical director did say this, and he also said that the concept of Lamacia's youth training is that talent is the only standard."
"Look, I'm right." Zhou Yi spread his hands.
Why did Zhou Yi remember this matter so clearly? Because when Lamacia's technical director Garcia told everyone that the founder of Lamacia was not actually Cruyff, but Ruiz who he had never heard of, Zhou Yi was surprised and curious, and remembered it clearly and was deeply impressed.
However, when it comes to the relationship between Lamacia and Cruyff, this matter is a bit long.
Simply put, it was because Montal, then chairman of the Barcelona club, invited Ruiz to serve as the head coach of the youth team because he was dissatisfied with the performance of the youth team. That was in 1972. Two years later, Ruiz became the head of the youth training academy. He pointed out the direction for La Macia's future development, which was to abandon the standard of simple physical fitness to measure players and use talent.
After Ruiz pointed out the direction for La Macia, Tot turned it into reality. Some media commented that "With Tot, there would be no birth of La Macia." Tott initially served as a youth training coach. In 1979, he helped Nunes establish La Macia's youth training base disease as the youth training director. In his more than 30 years of working career, he has discovered countless talented players for Barcelona. He is the architect of La Macia.
Cruyff is an important figure who has removed La Macia from the simple youth training significance and has risen to the strategic significance of the entire Barcelona club level. His arrival changed La Macia and Barcelona. Barcelona has its current glory, which is closely related to the fact that he had just come to Barcelona to take over as head coach when he first summoned all youth team coaches and put forward his requests.
Cruyff’s requirements are simple: teams at all levels must use the 433 formation and establish the belief of “passing balls and using technology to dismantle opponents”.
If he had no such request, then La Macia would be just La Macia, and Barcelona is Barcelona. La Macia's most amazing achievement may be that, like Real Madrid's Castilla youth training camp, it can provide blood for the entire La Liga and cultivate many qualified and even excellent professional players, but it is unable to have such a profound impact on the development and pattern of a club and even the entire world football as a youth training camp.
So now when you talk about Lamacia and Bity Cruyff, in addition to the reason why Cruyff is more famous than Ruistot in the public eye, there is also this reason.
Cruyff is a who connects the past and the future, and the past and the latter. His eyes far exceeded the limitations of world football development and people's thinking at that time. Although he only led the Mengyi team to win a Champions League championship, time gradually proved Cruyff's wisdom in the following years.
Therefore, until now, as the godfather of the Barcelona club, no one dared to say anything bad.
Guo Nu was very happy to hear Zhou Yi say this: "Then is that I..."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi shook his head at him: "Old Guo, don't think too much." He patted Guo Nu's shoulder and said in a deep tone.
Guo lowered his head in frustration.
"Warm Man" Yang Muge hurriedly comforted: "Actually, there is no need to pay too much attention to this issue. Lao Guo and Barcelona don't look down on you, it doesn't mean that other clubs don't look down on you either. I believe that with your performance in these games, it will definitely attract the attention of some scouts. Zhou Yi's incident shows that our game can attract the interests of those European scouts."
"Thank you, Yang Muge. I feel much better..."
Sun Pan was excited when he heard Yang Muge say this: "Will there be me? My performance is excellent?"
Before Yang Muge could speak, Zhou Yi said from the side: "Anyway, Arsenal will definitely not look at a goalkeeper who lost seven goals in 45 minutes..."
"Zhou Yi, why don't you practice? Run away and be lazy. Be careful that you will be replaced in half in this last game."
After the evening special training, Zhou Yi returned to his room, and He Ying was waiting for him.
Then he asked: "Why didn't you agree to go to Arsenal?"
Zhou Yi suddenly felt very annoyed. Will everyone say hello to him in the future? The words he said were not "Did you eat today?" but "Why don't you go to Arsenal?"...
Without waiting for Zhou Yi to answer, He Ying continued, "For you, that's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
Faced with He Ying's inquiry, Zhou Yi spread his hands: "This is true for Zhou Yi, who is sitting in the classroom of Class 3, Class 3, Qingyang."
"What's the meaning?"
"I don't want to be a student anymore. I want to become a professional player and become a very, very successful professional player." Zhou Yi said.
He Ying was stunned.
"I am already seventeen years old. At this time next year, I am already an adult. Today, a teammate said that I have a solid foundation and should train in the youth team for a few more years. I don't think so. It is precisely because I don't have much time that I hope to be able to get in touch with higher-level football. This is a critical period for long balls. What I need is not a lot of training, but a lot of games. I have been deeply touched after I came to Europe for a few games. I want to play in the first team as soon as possible. I hope to go to a team that promises me the first team, even if it is not a wealthy family. I don't care about the fame and number of fans of the team I join. It's enough to be able to play for me, pay attention to me, and understand me. I don't want to waste a few years in the wealthy youth team and waste my best time."
Zhou Yi finished speaking in one breath, and he decided that this was the last time he answered this question. No matter who asked him in the future, he would be nonsense.
Arsenal's ranking is too low and can't even enter the top three
I'm not a brainless fan of Arsenal
The weather in London is too bad, and the food is not good
There was smog in London a hundred years ago
...
For any reason you like, please give yourself a try.
Finally, he looked at He Ying who was stunned and said, "This is my little ambition."
