Football’s First Defender

This time, Yang Feng negotiated privately with the relevant leaders, and the final result was quite satisfactory.

The two parties reached many private agreements regarding Yang Feng's subsequent participation in the national team.

First of all, Yang Feng made it clear that in the future, he will definitely accept the call-up of the national team to play for the country.

Secondly, the Football Association also made it clear that for Yang Feng's personal benefit, it will give Yang Feng certain privileges.

During Yang Feng's European professional league, he didn't have to travel back and forth from Europe for every national team match. Except for the World Cup qualifiers and the Asian Cup, Yang Feng had the right to choose not to play in other games depending on the situation.

After solving the core appearance problem, other minor problems are not a problem.

Yang Feng put forward some "small requests" about himself, and the Football Association also made it clear that they would cooperate in the fastest time to complete them.

After discussing everything, Yang Feng did not participate in some commercial activities to expand his commercial value, but directly flew back to his hometown by plane and continued to work on his own affairs.

Yang Feng, who has a personal investment, has never cared about this kind of personal business activities that "get money quickly", but this kind of carelessness has further stimulated capital.

The lack of commercial activities meant that Yang Feng's name was not used badly, so several major brands chose to sign contracts with Yang Feng at a higher price.

The vast Chinese market makes everyone greedy.

Many big brands such as jerseys, sneakers, shampoo, etc. paid astronomical prices for Yang Feng's advertisements, comparable to Ronaldo and Messi's prices.

In terms of personal advertising value, Yang Feng is definitely the third person in the world and the No. 1 defender.

In order to expand his influence, Yang Feng would still accept personal invitations from some international manufacturers, but only to expand his influence. The so-called advertising fee may be nothing more than a figure to Yang Feng.

After all, as a Yang Feng with enough "historical experience", in the business field, it is easy to make a lot of money.

Except for some companies that do not accept investment, Yang Feng has invested a lot of shares in the remaining well-known companies, and in the industry he is familiar with in his "previous life", Yang Feng has made arrangements early and has already developed into an industry. The leader of the leader.

It's just that all of this is in the name of Yang Feng's "business-minded" parents, and Yang Feng is just staring at the title of the biggest "rich second generation" in football.

This is also the reason why the Football Association did not dare to tear their skin apart even though they had private conflicts with Yang Feng.

The fans are only one factor. They have been scolded by the fans for so many years. Some people have thick skins, but the pressure from other aspects makes them have to choose to treat Yang Feng coldly, as if there is no such player.

Now, the problem of Yang Feng playing for the country has finally been resolved, but the Football Association does not intend to announce it immediately. After all, the previous "contradictions" with Yang Feng are floating on the water. Even if Yang Feng accepts the call of the national team, for the sake of face, the Football Association It must be handled in a low-key manner.

Yang Feng returned to his hometown in a hurry. Although he was homesick, the most important thing was to have a look at the latest construction achievements of the youth training base in his mind.

Everyone knows what happened in the previous domestic football environment. There were a bunch of corrupt people inside, which caused a considerable bad influence on the development of football.

Even if a well-known football player like Yang Feng's investment in football will be demanded by the Football Association, you can know how deformed the development of the entire football is.

Fortunately, the anti-corruption storm in football, just like Yang Feng's memory, wiped out these corrupt moths.

Outside, there is the downturn in the external environment of Chinese football.

In 2002, it was definitely a golden age for the development of Chinese football. Entering the World Cup, it aroused the enthusiasm of the people across the country for football. Numerous large, medium and small football training courses have sprung up all over the country.

However?

As the national team's record declined precipitously, the domestic league was full of false whistles and black whistles, which directly ruined the great situation of Chinese football in a short period of time.

play soccer?

Parents are unwilling, teachers are unwilling, and even the children themselves are unwilling.

Especially with Dayao's foothold in the NBA, the promotion of basketball has a game time that is more in line with the Chinese people, and has an easier-to-satisfy venue demand, which further reduces the space for football promotion.

In the past two years, the country has intensified its efforts to rectify football. Yang Feng's fame in the European arena, and the five major leagues, including the Premier League, are more inclined to the Asian market in terms of broadcast time, and even domestic capital has begun to flow into the Chinese Super League again. among.

The joint efforts of many parties can be regarded as allowing Chinese football to further get rid of the haze of the previous ten years and see the dawn again.

And now, it is also Yang Feng's opportunity to enter the football business field.

Only then did Yang Feng further increase his investment in domestic youth training.

At the final stage of the league, the house belonging to Yang Feng, which is a top youth training base in the country, has finally been completed and is on the right track.

Although Yang Feng did not come back to cut the ribbon in person due to preparations for the Premier League game, Yang Feng, who has become a symbol of Chinese football in the eyes of fans, can devote himself to football youth training, which still allows fans to see another side of Yang Feng.

For Yang Feng, money may be just a number.

When signing the contract renewal with Liverpool, in terms of salary, Yang Feng will not demand an unbelievably high salary, as long as it can match his own strength.

Not short of money, that's the portrayal of Yang Feng now.

Before, there was less investment in football. First, the evil wind in football was in power, which was not conducive to investment.

Secondly, the atmosphere of Chinese football is not good, and it is in an absolute trough.

But it's different now. Outside, there are superstars like Yang Feng who dominate Europe making shiny advertisements, and inside, there are plans for deepening the reform of the Football Association.

The Chinese Super League has also begun to enhance the level of competition and enjoyment, which will be very conducive to the development of competition in the league in the future.

At this time, Yang Feng's return to his hometown and the development of his football career will have the best effect.

The establishment of this youth training base in Kyrgyzstan Province is the result of Yang Feng's efforts to overcome all opinions.

The manager team intends to face national enrollment and build a top youth training base in the country and even in the world.

Not only must it have first-class training facilities, but it must also be equipped with excellent cultural teachers to form an all-round integrated training of sports, culture, so that young players can play and learn both in the football school established by Yang Feng.

Therefore, in order to better attract students from all over the country, after winning the AFC champion Hengtai last year and starting preparations for the Hengtai football school, the manager plans to take root in the Beijing-Tianjin area and build a comprehensive training base covering at least the north.

However, Yang Feng chose to modify this plan at that time.

The first is the regional issue. Yang Feng changed his goal of building the best youth training base in the North to building the best training base in the Northeast.

Rooted in the Northeast, rather than established as the whole country.

Domestic companies are sometimes killed by fake targets.

For Yang Feng, being rooted in the three northeastern provinces and radiating to Inner Mongolia, Hebei already has considerable influence.

In the whole of the North, or even the whole country, how many professional scouts are needed, and a lifetime of running around without sleep may not be able to discover all the talents.

As for the so-called letting children take the initiative to recommend themselves, it is not to select all players of the right age, but to choose players of the right age for rich people.

Without a certain foundation, who can come to the training base and participate in the registration.

Even if there is a policy that geniuses can be free of charge, it will take half a year to see a genius, and the high tuition fee for that half year is enough to discourage an ordinary family.

Not all regions are located in the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and have sufficient economic foundation. It is those third-tier cities, fourth-tier cities, or even a small village that may have that kind of buried genius.

Yang Feng didn't want to recruit only those children from families with outstanding financial strength in order to make money.

After all, Yang Feng knew what those "Young Master Soldiers" would look like a few years later. The u-sized team representing China couldn't even play against the youth training teams of several small countries in Southeast Asia. of.

Yang Feng knows that the potential of a population of 1.3 billion is indeed huge, but it is not something that a single training base can bear. The confrontation between the sun and the sun is not a dream.

What Yang Feng needs to do is not to become the godfather of Chinese football youth training, but to lead a model by himself. As long as this youth training model can be successful, there will be countless people in other regions who will imitate him, and then evolve into a national football player. Sexual youth training promotion.

The football youth training system is difficult from top to bottom, but easy from bottom to top.

For a long time, the number of domestic football talents and the number of players from the three northeastern provinces have been the largest, and the LN province is the most important.

In the final analysis, there are two reasons. The ancestors of the Northeast people are almost all Shandong people who came from the Guandong. The so-called Shandong Dahan, the physical fitness of the players is based there; but the economy of the Northeast region has no heavy industry and has become a sunset industry. Today, it is far from the southern coast. The area is so developed.

Decades ago, Chinese football was divided into the southern faction and the northern faction. In the final analysis, it was actually the strength of the northerners, who dominated physical confrontation, while the southerners took advantage of the technical advantages of being small and fast.

Thanks to China's vast land and abundant resources, it is like eating tofu nao, whether it is salty or sweet, each has its own characteristics.

It's just that the economic development of the South has affected the cultivation of the football population to a certain extent.

Why play football? There are ideal factors, but there are also practical factors.

The powerhouses in world football are fundamentally polarized.

One is to be in the ranks of developed countries like Western European countries.

The other is the "poor countries" represented by South American countries.

Under the policy of high welfare and high labor cost, teenagers in several Western European countries can have a relatively relaxed learning environment and vigorously develop extracurricular activities.

Moreover, the development of urbanization has been completed, and small cities have spread all over the country. As a result, the youth training system of many teams is completely based on local development. After the young players have completed the school courses, they can directly train when they come to the club.

This point is somewhat inapplicable in China. After all, think about the traffic jams in big cities, or the 2-3 hour journey from south to north, which will greatly limit the training of young players.

Stimulated by the high welfare policies in the West, young people can devote themselves to training without any worries. Even if they fail to become talents and have poor grades, they still have a good income, and can even support them to continue from amateur leagues to professional leagues. Make an impact.

Klose in the past and Vardy in the future are all examples of such "not doing business properly" but successfully counterattacking.

And some "poor countries" have excellent football results, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Just like the developed sports industry in the United States was built on the blood and tears of black people in the slums, football is the only chance for many people to change their destiny when there are not enough upward channels.

If you don't succeed, you will succeed. Behind every superstar, it is not set off by the failures of countless peers.

They love playing football, but they still change their destiny more.

The country is in the middle of the two extremes. China has a stable room for improvement, the college entrance examination is there, and the opportunity to change your destiny is there. Compared with becoming tens of hundreds of football stars and thousands of professional players, the college entrance examination every year. Millions, tens of millions of admission places, compared to the sports path, is too easy.

As a developing country, it is also a reality that there is still a huge gap compared with the high welfare system in the West.

Even if you want to become a professional player, you have to support your family, you have to support your parents. Compared with the European mainstream thinking that one person can feed the whole family without worrying about it, Chinese people just support their parents, and the pressure from grandparents will make a person have to Face reality and let go of your dreams.

Under the circumstance that the elders and the younger are burdened with family responsibilities, you are doing a low-level job that is not considered a high salary, but you still have to fight for football from the amateur league? How big a heart do you have to be?

At that time, working harder and earning a little more money is the kingly way.

Therefore, in the economically developed areas of the country, limited by land and other factors, it is not easy to carry out basic training.

In areas with a slightly poorer economy, they are even more restricted by financial resources, which directly prevents some young people from receiving systematic youth training.

Yang Feng's purpose is very simple.

Do a good job in the youth training work in the three northeastern provinces, and discover every seedling hidden among the people. For this, Yang Feng prepared a lot of funds, and even prepared to invest this year's salary, advertising revenue, and even a large amount of cash from the company in private. in the training base.

The purpose is very obvious, that is, to invest the current funds to dig out the best among the children who like football and those who don't like football in the whole Northeast, and strengthen the youth training team.

This is why Yang Fengfeng denied the aristocratic education proposed by the management team.

"This is not a noble school. What we need are players, not a student who likes to play football but wants to come here to enjoy noble education."

Ordinary people are ordinary people, and there is no need to add costs to ordinary families for the so-called aristocratic education.

The training base established by Yang Feng is not for directly recruiting students, but for training those players who have certain talents and have performed well in the youth training of subordinates in various places.

At that time, even most of these players will receive funding from the base without paying even a penny.

As for profit? The agreement between Yang Feng and the Football Association to publish foreign documents as soon as possible to protect the interests of youth training institutions will allow those who break the rules to use private means to poach people to suffer huge fines compared with those in Europe.

Yang Feng intends to form a model in which county-level cities are the basis, prefecture-level cities conduct certain screening, and finally gather players to the headquarters.

For this reason, Yang Feng has built indoor courts in every county-level city in the three northeastern provinces. It doesn’t need to be too big, just suitable for elementary school students to play football. Then there are mainly domestically trained youth training coaches, interspersed with high-paying hired players. Inspectors composed of foreign youth coaching teams, supplemented by searching for possible talents, form a pyramid-shaped way of transporting talents.

Youth training is a century-old project, and it may lose money for a long time, but Yang Feng still wants to do it first, and contribute his strength to the rise of Chinese football.
