With the expectation of the fans, the first China City Youth Football invitational tournament was successfully held in Beijing.
Gao Han, Lin Guoping, Xiang Tianming, Amando Marcos, Carlos cantarello and other high-level officials of Chinatown all attended the opening ceremony. All the participating teams' clubs also sent representatives to attend the opening ceremony. Barcelona even arranged a vice president to attend the ceremony, while other clubs basically sent out technical directors.
According to the previous draw ceremony, Beijing China City, as the host, was arranged in group A. the opening match was against Barcelona youth team from Spain, who just won the championship in the Spanish Youth League and made outstanding achievements in Europe. It is known as the strongest team in this cup.
This kind of competition undoubtedly makes people worry about the strength of Beijing Chinatown, for fear that they will be bloodwashed by a powerful opponent in their own home court, resulting in the loss of face of the Chinese people.
However, the day before the competition and in the speech at the opening ceremony, Gao Han repeatedly stressed that the youth competition should not overemphasize the results, but see their own shortcomings and weaknesses, and learn from each other's strengths.
What he emphasizes most is communication and exercise. He thinks this kind of high-level youth game is more valuable for the team to exercise.
Even in an exclusive interview with Lin Xia's reporter team, he said he had confidence in the team.
The opening game attracted more than 10000 fans to the youth training center to watch the game, and Beijing Chinatown did its best to play.
Although the average age is one year younger than Barcelona, and Barcelona's concept of youth training does not attach importance to physical fitness, in the game, Beijing Chinatown is still out of the overall disadvantage, and it was scored two goals in a row by the other side not long after the opening.
This made all the fans feel sad and worried that the massacre might happen.
At this time, however, Wang Lei, a young player of Chinatown, played a series of passing games with the ball in the middle of the midfield. After breaking through four players of the other side at one go, he scored a goal for Chinatown with a low shot.
The goal inspired all the fans.
But soon, Barcelona youth team showed more bravery, and used team cooperation to score another goal, and firmly suppressed China city on the scene. The overall strength advantage can be seen from the performance on the field.
What impresses Alpine is Barcelona's young players, such as Dani Morey on the right, the typical Spanish winger, who is very fast, has a fine foot and can pass people continuously, and Dani Olmo on the left, who is also very strong in personal ability. In the middle, there are outstanding young players such as Alena and Perez.
Alpine has to admit that Barcelona is really talented in youth team training, even the Chinese city of Madrid are inferior, after all, Barcelona's heritage and status are there.
Not to mention the shorter established Beijing Chinatown.
In the second half, Zhao Jun and Wang Lei scored two goals in a row to catch up with the score of 3-4, but Barcelona was stronger in the end. In the end, they scored two goals in a row to beat Beijing China City 6-3.
After the game, all the Chinatown boys looked at their opponents with tears in their eyes.
In the past year, they are almost invincible in China, sweeping all other peers, and even compared with those youth teams who are two or three years older than themselves, they can completely win their opponents, which makes each of them more or less proud.
But compared with the highest level youth team in the world, they have no advantage in the whole game.
"Would it be too much of a blow?" Lin Guoping couldn't bear it in the stands.
It's just a group of twelve or thirteen year olds. As for that?
But Gao Han didn't think so. "They won too much at home, and it's hard to avoid arrogance in their hearts. They played with foreign high-level teams, just to let them see what their shortcomings are. Barcelona's youth team was invited by me, just to teach these boys a lesson."
"The pressure of the professional league is very big, the competition is very fierce, if they can't bear such a small defeat, then they can't expect to play in the professional league, and they don't deserve my expectations for them
Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming both look at the high cold with awe. When it comes to football, the high cold is that no one has the face to give, and their attitude is meticulous. They can't tolerate any discount.
"You see, the remaining two teams in the group, Arsenal and Santos, are not easy to play and it's not impossible to lose three times in a row
When Gao Han said this, there was a trace of pity in his eyes, but he soon became firm.
Although this group of players are not cultivated by him every day, he has also invested a lot of energy and resources. How can he bear to see them being abused and cried by their opponents on the court?
No, can they grow up? Can you recognize your own shortcomings?
Is it a good thing to lock them up at home, make them arrogant, think they are invincible in the world, and go abroad in the future, only to find that they can't have a foothold in European football?
Alpine would rather they cry more now, bear more failures, as long as they can learn something, can learn from the bitter experience to improve themselves, then such events are valuable.
…………
…………
For the prediction of Beijing's Chinatown, alpine is only half right.
In the second game of the group, Beijing China city lost again, losing 2-4 to Santos from Brazil.
The youth training leader of the football Kingdom, the strength is extraordinary, Santos team is also talented, although the overall strength is not as good as Barcelona, but still able to play Beijing China City in a mess.
This group of invincible youth teams in China, the world's top teams in the two world wars were defeated, so that the domestic media who pay attention to this event are in a great uproar, and even many media have openly questioned the cold Chinatown youth training center, thinking that this kind of youth training mode is simply not feasible in China.
There are even many so-called people in the football industry who denounce Gao Han publicly, believing that his concept of youth training is destroying this group of talented children.
However, in the third game of the group, Beijing China city finally played against the Arsenal youth team. The first two rounds of the game were mediocre. Gao Ren, who was one year younger, finally ushered in the outbreak in this game.
Zhao Jun opened the way in front and Gao Ren swam around. After playing well in the first half, two forward players scored three goals in a row, helping Chinatown to take a 3-1 lead.
After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, China city continued to suppress the young team of Arsenal, and finally defeated the young team of Arsenal 5-2 to win a valuable victory.
The last game was quite unexpected. He didn't expect that Beijing China city would play the best game of this invitational tournament in the last round.
Although Beijing China city was eliminated after beating Arsenal, the three group games also showed them the level of the strongest youth team in Europe, especially Barcelona, who almost completely controlled the game and made them unable to resist.
Arsenal's youth team was eliminated with three consecutive losses, which also reflects England's lack of youth training.
After winning the backwater battle, the domestic media adjusted their caliber one after another and began to highly praise Beijing Chinatown. They thought that the last game played the strength of Beijing Chinatown and that this team has unlimited potential and will become the hope of Chinese football.
However, contrary to the media, Gao Han published a column on Lin Xia's news website, pointing out the mistakes made by the team in the last game, as well as the shortcomings exposed in the three group games. He believes that Beijing China city needs to work harder to catch up with the strong European teams.
"Beating the Arsenal youth team gave us hope, but through three games, we also exposed our shortcomings. Next, the team should sum up the experience and lessons from the game, which is more important than anything else."
Different from Beijing Chinatown, Madrid Chinatown, in another group, went out of the group with three wins in a row, including the strongest inter youth team, Manchester United Youth Team and Bayern Munich youth team. All Chinese fans were surprised to find out through three group games, It turns out that the number one star of this team, Yang Xin, is actually a Chinese who was born and grew up in Spain.
Three group games and five goals made the left footed player the most dazzling star in the invitational tournament.
China city of Madrid, who finished first in the group, beat Brazil's Santos 6-4 in the knockout and joined Barcelona, who also beat Inter Milan, in the final.
In the end, after a fierce fight between the two teams, China city of Madrid, led by Yang Xin, lost to Barcelona in the final in a pitiful way. The score was 4-5. Yang Xin scored a hat trick, but Barcelona's overall strength was stronger.
For such a result, alpine is not surprised, because Barcelona youth team does have such strength.
Although Chinatown is famous, it still lacks the inside information. In the past few years, it has brought in a lot of young talents. However, it is not as good as Barcelona, which is an old giants. It is quite good to be able to reach the final.
The three-week invitational tournament also ended with the attention of domestic media and fans, leaving fans with more thinking than a victory in Beijing Chinatown.
After realizing its own shortcomings, we should think about how to catch up.
Even the invincible Beijing China City in China is so embarrassed by Barcelona youth team. What about other youth training teams?
In this regard, Gao Han wrote a sentence in the last column of the invitational tournament to encourage all fans who love Chinese football.
Although the road is endless and faraway, I still want to pursue the truth in the world.
The first youth invitational tournament of Chinatown was successfully held, and attracted the attention of many domestic media and fans. It has become a hot spot for a while, and made the whole Chinatown very satisfied.
On the second day after the tournament, Chinatown announced that the second Chinatown youth invitational tournament will be held at the Chinatown training base in Madrid next year. It will also invite world advanced youth teams to compete with two Chinatown youth teams.
When Chinatown announced this plan, Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming also took their team to Guangzhou to negotiate with the municipal government to further discuss the preparation for the construction of Chinatown youth training center in Guangzhou.
This time, Chinatown's partners also include a leading domestic real estate enterprise. The cooperation mode is similar to that of Beijing Chinatown. Chinatown will also carry out all-round cooperation with the professional team owned by this real estate enterprise in club management, recruitment, coach training and youth training.
Gao Han, who stayed in Beijing, also received information from the European transfer market.
