Chapter 8 The Lonely Road
"Liverpool selected two young players from the Chinese football team, and the first Chinese players appeared in the echelon!"

"The Chinese double star officially joined the Liverpool echelon and was highly praised by the youth training director!"

"Liverpool released the echelon to sign two Chinese players, and the teenager was praised for his amazing potential!"

"Gerrard praised Liverpool's Chinese teenagers: treat them like brothers!"

On November 2011, 11, on the eve of Christmas, such news came from the Chinese domestic media, which immediately caused a small upsurge.

Lu Feng, who was shopping for Christmas gifts with his parents, of course couldn't help paying attention.

With the new boss taking office, the club's development plan has also undergone significant changes.

From 2004 to 2010, due to the existence of head coach Benitez, Liverpool's scouting system put more focus on Spain, and now they are also beginning to face the more distant eastern world, such as China, Japan and South Korea.

In particular, their old enemy Manchester United has a South Korean captain Park Ji-sung. Liverpool also has plans to seek gold from the East Asian market.

The two players who have been confirmed to join Liverpool's youth training echelon are named Long Cheng and Chen Xiaomao. The former was spotted by Liverpool scouts during the Dutch Future Cup U17 match with the Chinese National Youth Team, while the latter was scouted by Liverpool scouts to investigate Long Cheng. I found it by accident during the performance of the City Games...

In an interview with the media in China, Frank McParland, the dean of the Kirkby Youth Academy, said enthusiastically:

"This is my first time in China. I am very happy that two young Chinese players can join the Liverpool club. This is also the first time that there are Chinese players in the Liverpool echelon, and they have a good chance to become first-team players in the Premier League in the future.

Liverpool's echelons of all age groups are composed of 18-20 players, so the competition is very fierce.The club also attaches great importance to the cultivation of reserve forces. For example, the U18 team is coached by Liverpool star McMarsh. Young players will have a very good growth environment here. "

He also said with great anticipation:
"They have good basic skills, are very smart, and their physical condition is not bad. In addition, their love and ambition for football have also made us highly appraised.

The overall level of Chinese football is indeed relatively low, but it does not hinder the emergence of geniuses. We all hope that these two young players can grow into such geniuses. "

The team captain Gerrard, who is recovering from his injuries in Liverpool, also accepted an interview with enthusiastic Chinese reporters:
"I think the Liverpool club has made a very correct decision. The club's technical staff told me that these two young Chinese players have great potential. I believe that after they stay at the club for a while, Liverpool will allow them to mature and succeed. of.

This seemingly loyal and upright captain is very cooperative with the club's operations:
"Opening up the Chinese market? This is of course very important, but it is only a secondary purpose. The most important thing is that these two people can really gain a foothold in the Premier League.

As long as they are successful, more Chinese teenagers will join football, and it will also put pressure on local football teenagers in Liverpool..."

Lu Feng was a little helpless to find that both the dean of Kirkby Academy and the red No. [-] captain seemed to have completely forgotten at this moment that in Liverpool's youth training echelon, there had long been a Chinese player. Young players! -
2012 1 Month 8 Day.

One full year after Lu Feng joined Kirkby, he welcomed two other fellow players in this foreign land.

Long Cheng, who is about to turn 17, is nearly 1.8 meters tall. Compared with Chen Xiaomao, who was born in 97, he is obviously much bigger.

Accompanied by their parents, they entered the youth training base of this European giant with both excitement and apprehension, but they were a little shocked to find that another Chinese compatriot had already greeted them.

"I'm Lu Feng, from Guangdong, and I'm a player in the U16 team. You are welcome to join Liverpool."

Lu Feng warmly welcomed these compatriots:
"If I have time, I can show you around this city! I am also very familiar with the surrounding Manchester, so we can have a good time then."

He thought that he could have someone to train with him in the next time, and he could also miss the motherland thousands of miles away, but he was wrong.

Those domestic media reports are totally irresponsible!
These two compatriots did not officially join Liverpool's echelon at all, they were just invited to come for trial training!

Only ten days later, the two young players hurriedly left this small fishing village by the harbor and returned to the domestic football they are more familiar with.

Lu Feng was still the only one staying at the Kirkby base! -
As he grew older, Lu Feng's body gradually became stronger, and correspondingly, he was able to gradually increase his training volume without worrying about putting an extra burden on his body.

One can't help feeling lonely among a group of foreigners.

Only by immersing myself in the world of football can this loneliness be slightly alleviated.

Although his parents and younger sister are both in the UK, his father, Lu Tianlin, shoulders the burden of supporting the family, and is often too busy to see each other for a month. Although his mother, Lin Lan, is caring, it is impossible for her son to solve all the problems and problems. confused.

For example... Recently, this son insisted on asking his parents to help him buy a sports lottery ticket for the UEFA Champions League.

Even if Lin Lan knew little about the football world, following her husband and son in the past few years, she gradually understood many things.

The most powerful team in football is called the "Cosmic Team" Barcelona (two championships in three years). Although the "Galaxy Battleship" Real Madrid has stopped in the top 10 of the Champions League for many years, it can also be ranked behind by virtue of its heritage and starlight. During the period, Bayern (09 Champions League runner-up) and Manchester United (11, [-] Champions League runner-up) could barely squeeze into the first echelon.

The next tier includes Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and other traditional giants.

The next level is Naples, Leverkusen, Tottenham, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Marseille, Lyon, Porto, Army, Miners and other mid-upstream teams.

But if we only consider the UEFA Champions League in the 2011-12 season, a higher-tier team may not be able to win a lower-tier opponent. The first knockout round that just ended on February 2 proved this truth.

For example, CSKA Moscow's 1-1 draw with the mighty Real Madrid made Mourinho furious.

For example, Marseille beat 1 Champions League champions Inter Milan 0-2010.

For another example, the Swiss dish **Searle defeated the powerful Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich 1-0.

Another example... Naples, who participated in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years, swept the Premier League giants Chelsea 3-0!
And the lottery ticket that Lu Feng asked his parents to buy was the "Blue Army" Chelsea!

Lin Lan has already persuaded him:

Which Chelsea?

Their head coach has been fired!

The one who put out the fire was just an inexperienced Italian bald man!

How could he change his fate against the sky? !
Take a look, the real-time odds of Chelsea winning the championship have plummeted from 1-14 to 1-26, which is almost a death sentence!

Lin Lan looked at the teams and odds in the information column, and couldn't help but persuade:
"It's hopeless anyway, we might as well buy Liverpool!"

Yes, why not use the 1000 yuan to support your home team!

Lu Feng's face suddenly darkened.

What to buy Liverpool!

Liverpool can only play in the Europa League this season!
