Chinese players performed well in various European teams, and countless Chinese fans were ecstatic.
Especially in the past year or two, outstanding Chinese players have emerged in Europe like a spurt, leaving fans dizzying. Now every Monday's "World Football" program has a special column "Highlights of Chinese Players' European Wars", which can last up to half an hour.
In this way, countless fans complained that they were not satisfied with the show, and the program was extended from two hours to two and a half hours.
Players such as Dong Fangzhuo, Yu Dabao, and Gao Lin on the front line are devastating, and the midfield players such as Zheng Zhi, Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, and Yu Hai are excellent both offensively and defensively. On the back line, there are defenders like Zhang Linpeng who have become Europe's top defenders. As well as players who performed well such as Feng Xiaoting and Li Xuepeng. These players are all overseas heroes in the hearts of Chinese fans.
However, in the goalkeeper position, the Chinese players still did not have any eye-catching performance.
In addition to several veterans in the Chinese Super League, the two most promising young goalkeepers in China, Zeng Cheng and Wang Dalei, have joined the giants Monaco and Inter Milan, but they are only players in the youth team and neither is a first-line player. Team players have never participated in a league game, which makes many fans very anxious.
In many media, there are a lot of reports on Zeng Cheng and Wang Dalei every week, and countless fans are concerned about their developments.
But few fans know that there is a 19-year-old young Chinese goalkeeper in the youth team of the British Championship team, working hard there for the chance to play.
Today is Christmas Eve. Club chairman Guo Lun has given the staff a day off in advance. He is planning to hold a Christmas Eve reception at the club tonight, mainly for many employees who live outside the local area.
Not much happened today. Guo Lun was walking around the club alone. When he passed by the training ground, he heard the sound of the ball hitting the goal post.
He stopped and walked into the training ground.
Although this is just a British Championship team, with the support of Yuntian Company behind it, the team's training facilities are top-notch in the Premier League.
For example, there is now a barrel-like device placed outside the penalty area. The football is automatically loaded through the pipe, the speed and force are adjusted, and then launched, simulating a player's shot. This device is even more like a real person than a real person, and can perfectly simulate various curved balls and powerful shots.
The team is off today, but there is still a young goalkeeper training in front of the goal. He has just saved 20 simulated shots in a row and is now picking up the ball in the field and preparing to continue training.
Guo Lun walked over, and the young man also saw Guo Lun.
"Chairman, why are you here?"
Guo Lun looked at him with a smile: "Young man, today is Christmas Eve. Why don't you go back to rest and are you still training here?"
The young man was breathing heavily. He was a little tired from the training just now: "I originally wanted to sleep in, but I really couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, I decided to come to the training ground to train. There is nothing to do anyway."
Guo Lun looked at him with approval: "You are indeed the goalkeeper genius that the boss is optimistic about. With your diligence, you will definitely have a bright future in the future!"
The young man shook his head: "But I am only the second goalkeeper now, and there is still a long way to go before I can play in the British Championship."
Guo Lun snorted: "The current stubborn head coach is too conservative. Since the Danish goalkeeper went to the Premier League, the former No. 2 goalkeeper was actually promoted to the starting lineup by him? That performance of conceding two goals per game is worthy of Does he deserve to be in the main position? He won't be able to stay at the club for long. Once the new head coach is in place, your chance will come."
"This," the young man felt a little embarrassed, "Chairman, it seems inappropriate to say this in front of me..."
Guo Lun laughed loudly: "There are not many Chinese people here. I don't regard you as a player now, I treat you as my brother. And the boss specially asked me to take special care of you."
After hearing this, the young man was very moved: "Coach Yun Sheng also sent me a special message this morning to wish me a happy Christmas."
"I'm so envious. The boss didn't bother to call me today. It seems that he really prefers talented players like you," Guo Lun said with a smile, "The boss said, give me a few years." Time must bring the team back to the Premier League."
"Chairman, there is absolutely no problem with you, I have confidence!"
"The boss also said that I must train you to become a world-class goalkeeper."
"Here, I'll try my best..."
Guo Lun was delighted: "Boy, I like what you said! You didn't humbly say no, but you said try hard. That's good! Even in China, Zeng Cheng and Wang Dalei are the hope for the future of Chinese football, but I prefer I’m optimistic about you! You have Wang Dalei’s ambition and confidence, and Zeng Cheng’s composure and steadiness. You are definitely a good prospect for a top goalkeeper! In time, you will definitely surpass them!"
After hearing this, the young man smiled slightly. He did not agree or object, but continued to adjust the automatic shooting device: "Chairman, I am ready to play a few more rounds."
Guo Lun found it funny: "You kid, do you think I'm affecting your training? Okay, I won't affect you anymore. If you have any needs in life and training, just ask the club directly. If they can't solve it for you, , just come to me directly and I’ll help you!”
"Thank you, Chairman! I do have a few requests..."
"Oh? You just open your mouth and come here. It seems that you have been planning for a long time. Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you!"
"Does the team have any stronger signings next season? It would be best to be a forward."
"Hey, what's going on with you kid? Are you concerned about the team's recruitment? Are you a goalkeeper again and want to be the head coach? What, are you planning to go to Chelsea?"
"Chairman, what do you mean by going to Chelsea?"
"Suddenly the name of a Spanish goalkeeper came to my mind and I said it right away. It's so strange..."
"Chairman, the team does lack capable forwards now. It is a bit difficult to defend their shots on the training ground. If I can bring in strong reinforcements, my saving ability will definitely be improved. Now the shots of these forwards, Well, it’s not as threatening as this machine.”
"Haha, you can do it. If you dare to say that, you must have made great progress recently. I estimate that you will be a starter next season. As for the team's signings, don't worry, the boss has already promised. Next season He must help me find a good coach and then help me run a bunch of good players."
"Is that true, Chairman? That's great." The young man looked happy.
Guo Lun said with confidence: "The boss said that the young people he recommended are all top talents. If they can perform at a normal level, in a few years, they will even be able to compete for the Premier League championship!"
