Chapter 544 The Godfather! Towards the Altar [3rd Update]
These two things announced casually by Madman Li instantly turned the Chinese fans' New Year of 2010 into chaos.
Especially regarding the selection of teenagers under the age of 15 to receive training at the Buenos Aires Football School, as soon as Pu announced it, it caused an uproar in the Chinese domestic football community!
Chinese football is currently undergoing a vigorous crackdown on organized crime and anti-gambling.
The intensity is unprecedented!
After just over three months of investigation from September to December 2009, the progress of the case announced by the special investigation team of the Ministry of Public Security shocked everyone——
Former vice president of Guangzhou Medical Club Yang Xu, Football Association official Fan Guangming, Hailifeng team leader Liu Hongwei, Shandong football star Leng Feng, Wuhan goalkeeper Yan Yi, Chengzu boss Xu Hongtao, former Luneng captain Xing Rui...
Each and every one of these famous names in Chinese football has now become a prisoner... The darkness in Chinese football far exceeds the worst level that most fans can imagine!
And these are just the tip of the iceberg!
For fans who really love football, this is a complete scandal!
It is absolutely difficult to accept the shame and humiliation! !
The unprecedented darkness is enough to make all football-loving fans despair in an instant!
And in this darkest moment, Crazy Li, this young man who had never had anything to do with Chinese football before becoming famous, this national idol who has never disappointed Chinese fans, this man who has always maintained his innocence ''s magical coach has become the only one, and the last one, who can support the love and belief in football for hundreds of millions of Chinese fans!
Therefore, at this critical and sensitive moment, Madman Li suddenly announced that he would select 50 young people in his own name to receive training at his personal football school in Buenos Aires. This was immediately considered by some interested people to be a blunder. The face of the Chinese Football Association!
The enthusiastic attention of domestic public opinion——
Some people think that this is a naked slap in the face of the Chinese Football Association. If Madman Li is smart enough, he should seek cooperation with the Football Association on this matter, so as to achieve the 'ideal' effect...
Some people also think that Crazy Li’s actions reflect his good intentions for Chinese football. Only by using this private method of blocking can we ensure fairness and science, select young people who truly love football, and contribute to the development of football in this country. Injecting new vitality into your career...
Of course, some people think that Crazy Li is trying to gain fame and seek personal gain...
However, no matter what, this football youth selection campaign named [Storm] by Crazy Li started to unfold with great vigor on the land of 9.6 million square kilometers of China after New Year's Day in 2010...
Without any publicity, the three words "Crazy Li" are the best signboard!
This news instantly swept across the country!
No one doubts the true value of the 50 places given by Crazy Li.
Although Crazy Li himself did not make any commitment or explanation for this selection, almost everyone understood that relying on Crazy Li’s unparalleled connections and prestige in European football, he would eventually be favored by Crazy Li Football School These 50 lucky ones will undoubtedly receive the best training and the most professional career development planning assistance in the history of Chinese football...
After graduating from Crazy Li Football School, these lucky ones will get the opportunity to play directly for foreign professional football clubs. This is an opportunity that countless Chinese football players dream of!
Maybe in four, five, five or six years, China's Ronaldo, China's Kaká, China's Juan Mata and China's Messi... will all be among these 50 places!
Therefore, some domestic media also named this session of Crazy Li Football School as the cradle of tomorrow’s Chinese football stars!
As a result, many people began to think about it.
January 1, 2010.
After the Crazy Li selection team entered the country, various people and organizations quickly came to the door, willing to cooperate in publicity and selection, and claimed that they could at least guarantee a profit of 200,000 yuan for each spot...
Parents who are eager to have their children become Jackie Chan come to them and are willing to pay a high price to buy a place...
There are even football schools that take the initiative to contact Crazy Li’s team to promote their players...
…
Those professional football staff hired by Lao Li from abroad have more or less seen some gray rules abroad. However, the Chinese people were still surprised again and again by the craziness and human kindness shown in this selection event!
However, no one dares to accept these temptations!
This time, Crazy Li emphasized very clearly that every quota is very precious, so it must be ensured that the selected players really have certain potential, and all fraud must be eliminated!
The staff who conduct the selection and assessment have signed strict guarantee contracts.
In the event of breach of contract, Crazy Li's losses will be compensated several times.
Moreover, in addition to these confidentiality measures, Crazy Lee's most trusted assistant Tolosi Tang resigned from the position of Newcastle Vice Chairman and came to monitor the entire process in person!
In order to ensure that real football talents are discovered to the maximum extent, the entire selection team will conduct blanket selections on 9.6 million square kilometers of land within six months...
The first stop is in Crazy Li’s hometown province——
GS Province!
The selection team will be in GS Province for 20 days and conduct detailed selections in 6 different regions. As long as they are teenagers who meet the age limit, regardless of whether they have a football foundation or not, they will have the opportunity to participate in the assessment!
At this time, CCTV Sports Channel commissioned Fan Zuang to take the initiative to contact Li Tongfan.
We hope that the entire selection event can be broadcast live. The deputy director personally assured that the program team will be 100% authentic and will not do any processing or do anything to interfere with the fairness of the selection...
This proposal was approved by Li Tongfan.
CCTV has great influence in the country. Lao Li also hopes that through this program, he can tell Chinese fans who really like football what attitude Europeans use to treat football and what attitude they use to treat those who like football. juvenile……
In this era when Chinese football is heading towards the dark abyss step by step, this should be regarded as an educational journey of discovery, right?
At least it's more meaningful than those so-called super girl and fast boy drafts!
…
[Storm] The first stop for selecting the team is Huining County, GS Province.
This is a national-level poverty-stricken county and an old red area. It was here that the first, second and fourth front armies of the Red Army completed the historic rendezvous!
The selection lasts for two days.
The scene was extremely hot.
In two days, more than 1,000 teenagers under the age of 15 participated in the assessment.
In the end, 20 people were qualified to participate in the next round of re-election.
The CCTV Sports Channel working team filmed the entire process in detail. After the post-production of the program, it was reported in the form of a column on the "World Football" program every Monday.
Undoubtedly, the show attracted the attention of fans across the country.
According to statistics, the ratings of this program named "Super Football Boys" are more than 12 percentage points higher than other programs of the same type!
This data is extremely terrifying even in the viewing history of CCTV Sports Channel!
Time passes slowly.
Some domestic media are still desperately advocating, believing that the so-called "Storm" selection is just a show activity by Crazy Li, and may not last long!
Because an investment company has made detailed predictions. According to the initial scale and plan of the [Storm] selection event, if this event really persists for half a year as Crazy Li said, it will cost at least more than 2 million pounds. If converted into RMB, Far more than 20 million yuan...
This is a great investment for any private person!
If you pay such a price just to select 50 talented football teenagers, from a profit perspective, it is really a bit of a waste of money!
But what happened next was a slap in the face to these malicious people.
Although Crazy Li didn't give any explanation.
However, I have been supporting this selection activity with my own money.
From the first day, the [Storm] selection event has continued day by day, and CCTV has maintained sufficient publicity for this event...
Even later, the weekly program section of "World Football" - "Super Football Boys" was completely unable to satisfy the audience's enthusiasm for this activity!
In the end, 'Super Football Boy' was regarded as an independent program, separated from World Football, and broadcast three times a week on CCTV Sports Channel's prime segment...
During this period, with the popularity of the program and the continuation of the selection activities, some football teenagers who were originally unknown came to the fore, showed their super high football talents, and gradually became the "stars of hope" well-known to fans across the country. ——
Kang Xufeng, a 15-year-old boy from Huining County, GS Province, turned out to be a vegetable picker in a small restaurant...
Du Xining, a 12-year-old boy from QH Province, was a cowherd boy who dropped out of school before participating in the selection. He even took the [Storm] assessment in XN City without telling his parents...
Feng Feijun from NMG…
Perlman from XJ…
Bian Bajunda from XZ…
…
These innocent teenagers who have not been poisoned by the Chinese football system are enthusiastically sought after by Chinese fans.
Although some of them were unfortunately eliminated in the end, even though they only represented an uncertain hope, their stories can always move the old fans sitting in front of the TV to tears...
At least, they represent the hope of the future of Chinese football!
Just like seeds sown in spring that don’t know whether they will mature or not, like little sparks flickering in the vast dark wilderness...
They may disappear from the public in the years to come...
Maybe it will really become a blockbuster in the near future as our compatriots expect...
However, no matter what, at this moment, they have received the most sincere and heartfelt blessings from fans all over China!
And the person who sows the seeds, the person who ignites the spark of hope, is stepping from idol to altar step by step through his continuous silent dedication!
His status in the hearts of Chinese fans has gradually developed towards the status of godfather.
…
…
Li Tongfan did not follow the [Storm] selection activities in China, but handed it over to [Dog-Headed Military Advisor] Torosi Tang. For the British who followed him since Spain, Li had already fully trusted him!
As for the construction of the football school in Buenos Aires, Li entrusted it to his younger brother Li Tongxun.
According to the coaching contract signed by Li Tongfan and the Argentine Football Association, the Football Association will give appropriate care, and Li Tongfan's annual coaching salary of 8 million US dollars is more than enough to build a football school that can accommodate 300 people in a city like Buenos Aires!
Everything is going on in an intense and orderly manner.
…
In the blink of an eye, time has entered April 2010.
For the honor of the championship, the giants of the five major European leagues are fighting to the death on the court, and the European Champions League has gradually entered the critical moment of bayonet blood...
The footsteps of the World Cup are getting closer and closer! ——
