Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 12 Entering the Big List

"Yan Feng, I put you in the 20-man squad for the match against Qingdao Manatee." The emperor found Yan Feng and said.

"Brother Yi, are you serious?"

Yan Feng opened his eyes wide and looked at the emperor, his face full of disbelief.

This is not scientific!The team just played a game. Although they lost, they haven't heard of any serious injuries in the team, have they?

Even if there is an injury, there are still a lot of young players waiting for opportunities, so it is impossible for me to be an amateur training partner.What's more, his so-called professional players are just being pulled stronger, making up the numbers.

"Really, you have entered the list of 20 people. Congratulations, Yan Feng. I have already said that you are a genius. I am optimistic about you. Work hard." The emperor smiled and patted Yan Feng on the shoulder.

"Wow! It's true! That's great! In this case, I may play in the game, right, Brother Yi?"

"Wow, I feel like I'm dreaming now. I never dreamed that there would be such a day. Thank you, Brother Yi." Yan Feng was extremely excited when he got an affirmative answer, and quickly thanked the emperor for his cultivation.

Yan Feng, who was overjoyed, pinched himself hard with his hand, trying to make sure if he was daydreaming.

Ah, it hurts so much, it doesn't look like a dream, it's real.

"Great, I can finally play professional games." Yan Feng seemed to have forgotten that entering the squad does not mean that he will be able to play.

"Haha, I actually entered the list of 20 people ``````" Yan Feng couldn't help but shouted there.But then I suddenly felt that my mind seemed to have some doubts.

"20-man roster, 20 people? Brother Yi, isn't the roster for the China League One game 18 people?"

"That's right. There are 18 people in the first team. But the reserve team has 20 people." The emperor said to Yan Feng with a smile. "Some people in the reserve team were injured in the last game, and there is another player who will be suspended for this game. There is not enough manpower, let you make up the number. Hey, this year's team is really a headache." After finishing speaking, he patted his forehead.

It turned out that the first team lost to Beijing Institute of Technology by a small score was acceptable.But in the second day's reserve team match, the Shenzhen Red Diamonds' reserve team made Beijing Institute of Technology a sieve.

There are still a few old courtiers from last season in the first team, which can barely hold on.And the reserve team is really full of child soldiers, which is incomparable with the reserve team players of BIT who have participated in the college student league all the year round.The whole game was played under pressure by Beijing Institute of Technology, and finally 7 balls were poured.

The passive Shenzhen reserve team kicked more and more aggressively in the back, their movements began to deform, and their kicks became more and more rough.Although the players worked hard and played very positively, in the end, several of them were injured, and some players were sent off with red cards.It can be said that it is a loss and a loss.

Moreover, such a result caused the Shenzhen team, which was already understaffed, to start to run out of personnel, and this was the good thing that Yan Feng entered the preparatory competition squad.

At this point, I believe that many people will say that since the reserve team is not enough, they can find it from the youth echelon.

"It turned out to be the reserve team. I said, how can there be such a good thing." Yan Feng's mood dropped a lot.

"Actually, the reserve team is also good, as long as you can play if you can." Yan Feng turned his head and thought, in fact, it is not bad to be included in the reserve team squad. This is also a very good opportunity.

Didn’t you see how many people scratched their heads and wanted to be a professional player? I heard that if those young players want to play football, no matter how good you look, you can’t talk about it if you don’t have money.

To be honest, the root of Chinese football lies in the youth.But China's social atmosphere is like this, and ordinary people can only adapt and bear this atmosphere helplessly.

Thinking of teenagers, Yan Feng suddenly thought of a question.

"Brother Yi, I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"I think even if the reserve team is short of personnel, it shouldn't be my turn, right? Why not transfer people from the youth echelon?"

"You have been in the team for a while. Have you seen the youth echelon?"

"Well, it seems to be. I just noticed now that I haven't seen anyone from the youth echelon for such a long time. I haven't heard anyone mention the youth echelon. Brother Yi, is it true that the youth echelon is in the club? In other youth training bases?"

"Yan Feng, you are overthinking. The club has no other bases other than this poor place. If the club even had a youth training base, would it still be in the current situation?"

"That's true. Where do they usually train?"

"Hey, actually. The Shenzhen team doesn't have an echelon at all."

"What?" Yan Feng looked at the emperor in surprise. "impossible?"

"How is it impossible? That's the truth."

"How is it possible? If there is no echelon, how can the Football Association allow the team to register?" After being exposed to professional football, Yan Feng still has a certain understanding of some league rules.The Chinese Football Association has long stipulated that any professional club must have a complete echelon at all levels before it can be registered.Otherwise any team will be blocked from the professional league.

"Hehe. In fact, the team cannot say that there is no echelon. After all, the team has signed youth training agreements with some schools. It is said to the outside world that the student teams of those schools are the echelon of the Shenzhen Red Diamonds. But in fact, those students The ownership of the team has nothing to do with the Shenzhen team." The emperor told the truth with a wry smile.

"Ah! Is it still like this?"

"What else? In the Chinese League One, this is not uncommon. Many teams are in the same situation as ours." Speaking of this, the emperor also sighed.

"Hey, there is no other way. Who told us that our Chinese teams are all losers? It is always difficult to support things that simply spend money and have no income. The average team can support it. It’s not bad to start the first team, how can there be extra money to support the echelon? Besides, the investment in the echelon is not small, and it needs to be invested for a long time, and it may not be rewarded.”

Hearing the great emperor said so much, Yan Feng didn't know what to say.Suddenly, I felt a little heavy, and the joy of entering the big list for the first time was also much less.

"Okay, don't think about those useless things. Let's talk about yourself. Although it is a reserve team this time, it is a very rare opportunity for you. If you have the opportunity to play, you must perform well. I like you." The emperor patted Yan Feng on the shoulder and left.

No one can understand Yan Feng's talent better than the Great Emperor. Although he came into professional football so late, as long as he is given a chance, who knows if he will break into a different world?
To be honest, after such a long time of contact, the emperor felt that it was too wasteful to use Yan Feng's physical talent as a training partner.Therefore, when the team still had registration places, the emperor signed up Yan Feng instead of going outside to find some not-so-good young players.The emperor sincerely hoped that Yan Feng would be kicked out if given the chance.

The second game of the Shenzhen Red Diamonds is against Qingdao Manatee at home.It will be a severe test for Shenzhen Red Diamonds.

As far as the Qingdao Manatee team is concerned, this is a new team in Chinese football, but it is an old team.The original Qingdao Manatee team was established in 1990 and won the FA Cup and the Super Cup runner-up.Later, Yizhong Group, which operated the Qingdao Manatee team, withdrew and Zhongneng Group took over.Later, it was renamed Qingdao Zhongneng, and the name Qingdao Manatee disappeared from the official club name.In 2013, Qingdao Manatee was reborn and succeeded in entering the first division that year. In the 2014 season, it also gained a firm foothold in the Chinese first division.

Chinese football is so peculiar, a famous team often disappears because of the withdrawal of the owner group, and the most embarrassing one is the football overlord like Dalian Shide.Countless teams have come and gone, not to mention clubs that have been around for 50 years or 20 years, and there is not even a club that is [-] years old.Utilitarian football Utilitarian clubs are the biggest dilemma of Chinese football.

But in any case, Qingdao Manatee can gain a firm foothold in the Chinese Premier League so quickly, which shows that it is very strong.Moreover, there are several excellent players in the team who can be the main players in the Chinese Super League. This year Qingdao Manatee is even more ambitious to put forward the slogan of rushing to the Super League.It seems that the Shenzhen team is hanging in this game.

And so is reality.Although the Shenzhen Red Diamonds played tenaciously under the cheers and cheers of the few fans at home, they eventually lost 1-3 at home.

The team suffered another disastrous defeat, and it was a home loss, which cast a shadow over the entire Shenzhen team.What if I lose again?If we continue to play like this, the team will be finished before the end of the game, and it may have to be disbanded.

The team's loss is not a good thing for everyone in the team, but this game is a good thing for some people, such as Lin Fan.

Lin Fan got another 10 minutes of playing time in this game, and his performance was not bad, not as flustered as in the first game.Regarding Lin Fan's performance, the emperor nodded frequently.Yan Feng, who was watching from the sidelines, also felt very happy about this, and secretly cheered for himself in his heart.this
Yan Feng watched this game very seriously, and kept putting himself in his heart, imagining what he would do if he was on the court.He can learn as much as he can, maybe he will play in tomorrow's reserve team game, so it shouldn't be too embarrassing.come on!
