Chapter 345 There is a new player in Flashing Star
"Xiaoyu, please wait here. Our club's youth training director Shi will come to show you the training base in a while." Dai Zetao said to Xia Xiaoyu who was sitting in the lounge.
The young man asked nervously and expectantly: "Brother Tao, can I see Captain Hu?"
"Of course I can. If I promise you, I will definitely not let you go." Dai Zetao said with a smile.
He took another look at the small film crew standing nearby with a camera pointed at Xia Xiaoyu.
This is the documentary shooting team of Goal.com.
He originally thought that the filming of this documentary would be over when the Dongchuan Middle School football team was eliminated from the national competition, but he did not expect that they would follow them from the national competition to the training base of Flashing Star in one go.
In the words of the leader, it was to faithfully record how a student player jumped from school to a professional football club.
After all, they also filmed the contact between Chen Xingyi and Dashun Golden Arrow Club.
But now that I think about the content in the documentary, it makes Dai Zetao want to laugh - when Dashun Golden Arrow recruited Chen Xingyi, the sincerity was not lacking. The general manager of the club and the head coach of the first team came in person at the same time, which fully demonstrated The club attaches great importance to Chen Xingyi.
He still remembers what the dubbing in the documentary said: "When the club manager and the first-team coach described his bright future in the team to a teenager at the same time, Chen Xingyi would inevitably be a little impulsive. His heart seemed to have changed. The site of the high school national competition flew to the distant Dashun, to the training ground of Dashun Golden Arrow..."
Now that I think about it, it's really ironic.
After Chen Xingyi went to Dashun Golden Arrow, he rarely played games there. Wang Xianke's so-called beautiful blueprint is simply a blank check.
Didn’t Chen Xingyi get loaned out to our Flash Stars in the end?
Why?
Because he has no way to grow in Golden Arrow. You, Wang Xianke, are indeed good at leading a team to win championships, but when it comes to training young players...can he lead them? He can't take it! Do you know that you don’t have this ability?
Chen Xingyi now has two assists and one goal in the Chinese League One, and also performed well in the Football Association Cup. For such a player, Wang Xianke of Golden Arrow would rather put him on the bench than give him more opportunities and trust.
Compared with Chen Xingyi, Xia Xiaoyu made an absolutely correct choice this year.
The core midfielder of the Dongchuan Middle School football team signed a contract with our Flash Stars as soon as the national competition ended and became a member of the Flash Stars youth team. And I believe that he will get more playing opportunities with us and grow up quickly, just like his predecessors Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei.
After all, our Flash Star has a fine tradition of giving more opportunities to young players, and we also have a head coach Zhao Kangming who is good at training young players!
※※※
Everyone in the lounge didn't wait too long. Shi Jisheng, director of youth training of Flash Star Club, appeared at the door of the lounge.
He was wearing a training uniform with a whistle hanging around his neck. It seemed that he had just come here directly from the training ground.
After seeing Xia Xiaoyu in the lounge, he laughed, then walked up, took a good look at Xia Xiaoyu who had stood up, and nodded approvingly: "Not bad."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Shi Jisheng, director of youth training."
Xia Xiaoyu quickly held his hands: "Hello, Director Shi, I am Xia Xiaoyu, from the Dongchuan Middle School football team..."
"I know, Lao Dai has given me your game report a long time ago. We carefully observed your performance in the national competition. Isn't it easy to be both a father and a mother? Ha!" At this point, Shi Jisheng laughed. stand up.
Xia Xiaoyu also smiled sheepishly: "It's okay..."
After laughing, Shi Jisheng said seriously: "But we hope you know that it is a solution that your school team coach has no choice but to do. I am not saying that you shouldn't score, but it is obvious that you should consider both, even You are more inclined to score, but you are not the best. We compared your performance in the three national competitions, and the best performance was actually in your first national competition. What do you think?”
Xia Xiaoyu didn't expect that the youth training director would say these things to him as soon as he arrived. He thought the other party would exchange greetings, say something special in front of the camera, and then take him to find Hu Lai.
Unexpectedly, the other party wanted to discuss his performance in the national competition with him in the lounge.
He frowned and thought seriously.
Sun Yonggang turned his head and glanced at the photographer, and found that the other person was working very attentively, obviously recording the entire scene.
He thought about the scene when he took the photographer to meet the person who filmed Chen Xingyi and Dashun Jinjian.
He was quite excited at the time and felt that he had witnessed history - it was touching that the Chinese Super League club paid such attention to a student player.
But now that I think about it, both Xue Chaoyu, the general manager of the Golden Arrow Club, and Wang Xianke, the head coach of the first team, told Chen Xingyi empty words and painted a perfect picture, saying what Chen Xingyi would be in the team in the future. and what future and status they have in the club.
In fact, they are all empty promises and have no substance at all.
What "core for the next ten years"... How do you go from a youth team player to "core for the next ten years"? No more talk. What kind of core is not mentioned at all.
On the Flashing Star side, they are much more pragmatic. The club did not arrange for the general manager to come to see Xia Xiaoyu, nor did the head coach of the first team come in person. Instead, a youth training director who was supposed to manage Xia Xiaoyu came. This shows that the Flash Star Club has clear responsibilities in personnel arrangements and there is no competition. The situation of being in the limelight and reaching out randomly. This young club does lack the bad habits of many traditional domestic professional football clubs.
Secondly, the youth training director did not just promise a blank check, but seriously discussed with Xia Xiaoyu his performance in the national competition. From what he said, Sun Yonggang could easily understand that the Flash Star Club must be very serious. I have studied Xia Xiaoyu’s game videos and scouting reports.
Whether it was the scout Dai Zetao who stood silently next to him or the youth training director Shi Jisheng, their work was done very meticulously.
Sun Yonggang feels that this pragmatic work attitude is more likable.
He can even predict that when the documentary about the Dongchuan Middle School football team is aired, fans will definitely compare and discuss the footage of Dashun Jinjian's meeting with Chen Xingyi.
The golden arrow might be beaten to death again...
When Sun Yonggang was thinking, Xia Xiaoyu also finished thinking. He said to Shi Jisheng: "There is a reason, Director Shi. I..."
Shi Jisheng didn't let him continue, but laughed: "Is it because of the difference between having Hu Lai and not having Hu Lai?"
Xia Xiaoyu nodded simply and admitted: "Yes, Coach Shi. When there is an efficient and powerful forward like Captain Hu in the Dongchuan Middle School team, I only need to do one thing well - pass the ball to him." This is also what I am best at, but then Team Hu left, and the gap between the other forwards in the team was too big... Ah, I'm not complaining, I'm just telling the truth, Director Shi..."
Shi Jisheng smiled and nodded: "I know, after all, even in the Chinese League One, there are not many forwards who can have his efficiency. I just feel sorry for your school team coach."
"Coach Li? In fact, I played in three national competitions in school, and I didn't leave until my senior year because of Coach Li..." Xia Xiaoyu said.
Shi Jisheng said: "I have watched the training of your school team, and the training quality is still very high. Even if you stay in the school until your third year of high school, the progress will be obvious. Your coach Li is indeed a high-level coach, otherwise he will also train There is no such player as Hu Lai.”
Xia Xiaoyu said to himself, but Coach Li has repeatedly emphasized that he is not Hu Lai's first coach... If it were another coach, he might be eager to take the honor of "Hu Lai's first coach" on his head. As for Coach Li, he tried his best to push it out, but I don’t know what he was thinking...
"Let's talk about you, Xia Xiaoyu. You are almost eighteen years old, and you can only stay with me for one year at most. Thanks to your coach Li's high training level, you don't have to start from scratch with me. Basics There is no need to do such things as training. During this year, all the training plans arranged by the team are for the purpose of allowing you to adapt to the first team as soon as possible.”
When Shi Jisheng said these words, both Xia Xiaoyu and Sun Yonggang were shocked.
Xia Xiaoyu prepared to enter professional football with the mentality of training slowly and growing up slowly. Although he has been regarded as a talented person by coaches at all stages since he was a child, he is also very aware of the huge gap and difference between youth football, especially school football and professional football.
People like Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai have also spent two or three years transitioning between the two.
It would be good if he could play in the first team at the age of 23.
This is just about playing in the game, not playing as the main force, as long as you can play.
What, you mean Hu Lai?
Team Hu is a BUG and is beyond the scope of our discussion...
Sun Yonggang was even more surprised. He originally thought that what he just saw was enough to show that Flash Star Club attaches great importance to young talented players.
I didn’t expect there would be something more exciting!
Going to the first team during a one-year transition period?
Oh my God...
Everyone knows that Flash Star Club is rooted in the local area and is willing to give local young players the opportunity to grow. But isn’t this approach too bold?
Wait... Could it be that the Flashing Star Club thought that there would be a camera nearby, so they said this deliberately to increase their favorability and advertise by the way?
You must know that you need to apply in advance to enter the training base for filming. The Flash Star Club agreed to their shooting request and did not charge a penny. Do they just want to advertise the Flash Star here?
In fact, the club doesn't really plan to let Xia Xiaoyu join the first team in a year... So is this another form of pie-in-the-sky?
Just when the "conspiracy theory" in Sun Yonggang's mind was gradually taking shape and he was almost convinced, he heard Shi Jisheng say: "Don't look at me like that. This plan was not made by me, but by Director Zhao."
"Director Zhao?" Xia Xiaoyu was stunned.
"Who else can coach Zhao? Of course it's our first team's head coach Zhao Kangming, coach Zhao!" Dai Zetao explained from the side.
"So this is..." Xia Xiaoyu's mind was a little confused.
"Director Zhao has also studied your game videos and information. He is very optimistic about you." Shi Jisheng looked at Xia Xiaoyu with a smile.
Being paid personal attention by the head coach of the first team, and expressed favorably by the coach with one of the best youth training levels in the country... Xia Xiaoyu felt as if he had been drunk, feeling dizzy and falling into an incredible sense of happiness. (End of chapter)
