Lokomotiv Leipzig Football Club (fbsp;lokomotive ) was founded in 1893 and was the first German football championship.

After entering the 21st century, the team won the International Toto Cup in 1966, and its more recent honor was the runner-up in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1987, losing 1-0 to the then flourishing Ajak.

Si, the player who scored the only goal in that game is also slightly famous.

It's called Van Basten.

This guy later won a Golden Globe Award.

Later, the Leipzig locomotive was used by the German couple to celebrate the New Year, and each year was not as good as the other.

Due to various factors, it has now fallen to the fifth level of the German League, a serious amateur team.

The St. Pauli U15 youth team chose them as their opponents in the friendly match. They really didn't want to bully others. They were purely arranged by No. 1 Sports.

I came to Leipzig and found them.

Because RB Leipzig exists in this city, the better players have been picked out long ago, so the strengths of both sides in this friendly match are not equal.

The young St. Pauli players were playing very relaxedly on the court, and off the court Timo Schulz was chatting with Wan Mang who came to watch the game.

Wan Meng's forehead was checked and there was nothing serious, but he still went to the hospital for three stitches and a large mesh bag on his head.

The players all went out to play together. He also declined invitations from several players and Erica and ran to watch the game alone.

Due to the outstanding performance of the U15 team, Schulz was recently promoted to the youth training director of St. Pauli. This will be the last game he leads the team to play.

"I really can't bear to leave these children. They are definitely the most talented group I have ever brought up!"

Schultz showed off to Wan Mang with some pride.

"Really reluctant? Since you have spoken to me, the deputy director, I will discuss it with Thomas when I go back and don't move your position."

Although Wan Mang was staring at the court, he knew the expression on Schultz's face without even looking.

He still knows his former teammate and colleague very well.

As expected, Schultz immediately coughed.

"Ahem. Don't..."

"What...I am doing it for the sake of my children. Aren't I planning to promote those little guys to U17?"

Wan Keng smiled secretly in his heart and did not expose him.

After all, this boy did a good job in youth training.

It's a talent.

Different from the general environment of the Dragon Kingdom, the position of youth training director cannot be underestimated in Germany.

St. Pauli's youth training echelons range from U9 to U23, with a total of 8 teams and about 140 to 50 young players. They are roughly divided into three stages according to age.

U9 to U13 belong to the basic stage, focusing on cultivating hobbies and exercising, and will also participate in local competitions in Hamburg.

U15 to U17 is the transition stage, and it is also the most important step from hobby to career. U15 and U16 will start to play some regional competitions, and U17 will also participate in national leagues and play against peers from other countries to gain experience.

When you reach U19 and U23, you have reached the threshold of professionalism. For example, U23, which is the reserve team, plays in Germany's fourth-level amateur league.

So despite the fact that Schultz is not a big youth training director, he actually has several times more players than before, and he is even more important.

Following what he just said, Wan Mang also knows who the players Schultz wants to promote are Mukoko, Mast and Wagenoman. Their performance on the court is indeed far better than that of their peers.

Especially Mukoko, who has just turned eleven years old and has already established himself as the main player in the U15 team and is still the top scorer in the team.

His performance in this game was equally outstanding, scoring a beautiful goal not long after the game started.

Then he directly carried his teammates half a circle around the court.

People have to wonder if this black boy lied about his age.

Wan Neng stared at him and pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"I have no objection to the others. Mukoko should take it easy. He is too young. It is still risky to play for the U17s now."

Schultz agreed.

"That's what I'm thinking about. I'll go to U16 and play for a year or two first, but this kid's father is a bit difficult and has already started asking me to sign an apprenticeship contract."

German law stipulates that only players who are over 16 years old can sign a professional contract. Even so, it is usually an apprenticeship contract, and ordinary players will not sign a formal contract until they are 18 years old.

The difference between the two is that the apprenticeship contract is not full-time, the term is usually three months, and the salary is also a little symbolic.

Professional contracts must be signed for at least one year. According to the regulations of the German Football League (dfl), the basic salary of a professional contract for a Bundesliga team must reach 20% of the statutory pension insurance amount, which is at least 1,000 euros per month.

Only youth training players with great potential will have the opportunity to get professional contracts.

To give a simple example, the current success rate of the entire German football youth training is about 2%. With a scale like St. Pauli, it is very good to be able to train three or four professional players. Most people will not be able to make it in the end.

Football is a bowl of rice.

People like Sam Schreck and Theo Jr. who go directly to the first team from U17 are even rarer.

It is for this reason that Germany, a country with strict laws, allows part-time apprenticeship contracts to exist.

It can not only provide certain financial security for talented young players, but also allow them enough time to complete normal school courses, so that they will not be unable to become professional players in the future, but will not be able to gain a foothold in society because of their lack of education.

The apprenticeship contract will be much looser, and the salary is usually three to four hundred euros, but it is really unheard of for someone like Mukoko to actively ask for a contract at the age of eleven.

According to Schultz, Mukoko's father is over sixty years old and is quite difficult to deal with.

"sign!"

Universal is very simple, just spit out a word.

He knows the future development of Moukoko. A kid who single-handedly made the German Football Association change the rules and set an unbreakable record for being the youngest player in the Bundesliga. The convention really has to be broken for him.

Schultz opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but in the end he held back.

He trusts Magnum's judgment on young players.

Just like Wagenorman, no one was optimistic about this kid during the previous trials, but he was kicked out after half a year, and he was really superior to others.

As soon as the two reached an agreement and were ready to devote their energy to the game, an episode occurred on the court.

Mast, who switched to midfield at Magnum's suggestion, was brought down by an opponent's player. The referee blew the whistle decisively, but the Lokomotiv players refused to let go. They condescended to him and yelled at Mast who was lying on the ground.

Wan Mang on the sidelines could faintly hear some yellow-skinned words, which were full of discrimination.

Schultz loved his disciples so much that he was about to rush forward when he was held back by Wan Mang.

"Let them resolve matters on the pitch themselves."

Wan Mang seemed to shudder, then narrowed his eyes and said.

He also probably knows what kind of urine the locals in Leipzig have.

This is one of the areas with serious neo-religious ideas in Germany. Just last year, 29 high school students in Leipzig were investigated by the police for making anti-Semitic remarks and making anti-Semitic remarks.

It is also very contradictory to say that when RB Leipzig played Red Bull, many locals came to support St. Pauli, but in such a friendly match for young players, such disgusting things happened again.

The referee quickly intervened, but the effect seemed to be mediocre. The Lokomotiv player who committed the foul continued to chatter, and even had a fierce glint in his eyes.

"They are looking for death."

Universal sets the tone for this event.

The development of the next game seemed to run counter to his judgment. The actions of the Leipzig players did not look like they were playing a friendly match at all, and they were obviously targeting Mast and Mukoko.

After seeing all this, Schultz couldn't stand anymore and complained directly to the staff next to him. Instead, he received ridicule from the opposite coach.

"Children are just playing football for fun, why should we be so serious?"

Schultz wanted to argue with him, but Wan Mang stopped him.
Chapter completed!
