Chapter 1 Crystal Palace Reserves
Summer of 2015.

England, London.

Inside the youth training camp of the King of London, Crystal Palace.

"Billy, are you sure this is the player you signed?"

"Oliver, of course, this is what I saw in the high school league in China. I was curious, how could no Super League team sign him. You know, if a Super League team signs him, our financial resources You can't compare to them."

"Wait, Billy, the youth training is very strict now. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been fined. Are you okay?"

"Oliver, you are too worried. How could I make this mistake? Don't worry, everything is legal and reasonable, including labor certification. He is now our youth training."

Oliver picked up the information of the Chinese player in front of him.

"Wang Yi, male, was born on September 1999, 9. He is 4 years old this year. He is 16 meters tall and weighs 1 kilograms. A very standard weight. He spent 84 years in the youth training camp of a certain southern Chinese Super League team from the age of 81 to 10. , but due to academic reasons, I returned to Jiangcheng and started my studies again. Because of poor academic performance, I wanted to take the path of adding points to sports students. At the age of 13, I started football again, but did not enter the youth training camp of Jiangcheng Football Club. .”

Oliver took a closer look, "Billy, you said he had four years of youth training, but I think his basic skills are very solid, and he is very good at dribbling. It's not like we haven't been in contact with young Chinese players before." Players, those who can catch every ball and pop out, this basic skill is very solid and very good. If it is really you, we are so lucky to be able to grab it."

"Yeah, if it is already snatched up by the Chinese Super League team, we will definitely not be able to buy it. By the way, Oliver, are you going to let him be in the U17 or the reserve team first?"

"Why are you in U17? You must go to the reserve team. With this physical fitness, you can go to the reserve team."

Wang Yi was still standing on the field.

Just after signing the contract, he was still a little uncomfortable, but he was fascinated by watching the training of the players on the sidelines.

What is in front of him is the training of the first team, and the person who talked to him just now, Billy is a scout for Crystal Palace, and Oliver is the football director of Crystal Palace.

Under the leadership of these two people, Wang Yi came to the training ground of the reserve team.

Here, Wang Yi started his one-year youth team career.

It's just that during this period of his career, Wang Yi is also a very concerned player in China.

The Premier League, this is, the Premier League team is the focus of great attention of the domestic media.

Although Crystal Palace is not a strong team, it is often seen that Crystal Palace's official Instagram and Twitter will repost game photos of the reserve team.

Until one day, Wang Yi played.

Although the performance of the reserve team for the first time was very bad.

Wang Yi's rhythm is very problematic. This is the biggest problem. Although it is the rhythm of the reserve team, this rhythm is much faster than that of the domestic team.

Wang Yi, a player who has never played in the Super League, can't keep up at all.

Although Oliver was optimistic about Wang Yi's potential, after all, the contract and annual salary were not expensive, so he also held the idea that he would not lose money if he could not win, and did not continue to pay attention.

Just when everyone thought that Wang Yihui would sink in this way, Wang Yi slowly grasped the rhythm of the game in the limited playing time. In the first start after 2 months, Wang Yi's preparation against Manchester United In the team game, they scored 5 consecutive cities in the opening 2 minutes.

After the match, the news instantly spread across the land of China, and Wang Yi also became a trending search for the first time in his life.

Since then, there have been several voices accompanying Wang Yi.

"When will Wang Yi be able to play in the first team?"

"Boyang was also a big hit in the youth team, but he would be stupid in the first team. Don't expect too much."

"Wang Yi is still young. He was born in 99. He is only 17 years old this year. It's still very early. It's better to spend more time in the youth team. Then the end of playing the first team early is like Cesc Fabregas, premature aging."

There are countless remarks like this, and Wang Yi often reads domestic forums. At first he wanted to argue with these remarks, but now he has already taken it lightly, because he has already secured the position of the main center forward in the reserve team. .

In the second half of the 2015-2016 season, Wang Yi has become the main force of the youth team, and has also entered the FA Youth Cup final, but the reality is not like a novel. The Crystal Palace team was blown out by Manchester City 5-0.

It is always easy to score big points in youth team games, but the Manchester City team is strong and strong.Crystal Palace is still at a mid-lower level.

So Wang Yi didn't look like he was going to die when he lost by a big score.

It's just that Wang Yi is still very unhappy about ending the first season with a runner-up.

After the end of the first season, Wang Yi also got a wide range of familiarity among the domestic fan groups, but after all, it is a youth team, not a second-tier league, so many people still have strong opinions on whether Wang Yi can gain a foothold in the five major leagues. question.

In fact, not to mention doubts from netizens and fans, Wang Yi himself once doubted it.

The current center forward of Crystal Palace is Benteke. Although Zhan Jun used to be a traditional virtue of Benteke, in the Crystal Palace team, Benteke is the main force and can no longer be the main force center.

Wang Yi was once selected into the first team in the 2016 preseason, but during the intra-team match, Wang Yi saw Benteke's ferocity at close range on the field, although he may have seen Benteke as a player on TV. A center forward has various shortcomings, but in actual combat, when Wang Yi faced Benteke, he found that the gap between himself and the opponent was still a bit big.

What about the forward?Wang Yi's speed is also very fast. He also tested his speed in the first team and ranked second, which is a bit slower than Zaha.Unfortunately, Zaha is the team's main winger, not to mention that there are Remy, Sakho and other attackers in the team.

There are also many famous players such as Cabaye and Flamini in the midfield. The strength on paper is not bad, but the results every season are not ideal.

When the head coach of the reserve team, Ryders, told Wang Yi that if he wanted to rent out, the club would be willing to rent out.

Of course Wang Yi wanted to play the game.

After communicating with his agent Minsk, Wang Yi felt that playing the game is the most important thing at this stage, and he is only 17 years old.

But if you rent out, where can you go?Will anyone want me in the top league?
Wang glanced at the date, and it was already August 2016. At this point in time, most teams are almost at the end of the transfer window.

However, just a week before the transfer window closed, Minsk told Wang Yi good news.

"Dortmund are willing to loan you for a season."

"Are you sure, Anton? That's Dortmund, how is it possible?"
