Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 95

   Chen Ran's answer immediately caused an uproar among the reporters in the audience.

   You must know that in the current China, the youth training echelons of football schools and clubs basically focus on football training.

   Even if there is an arrangement for cultural classes, it is more meant to be understood, and no one really pays attention to it.

   I didn't expect that Chen Ran would shoot at the existing youth training system as soon as he returned to China, which immediately aroused greater interest from reporters. This is all a topic.

   "Mr. Chen, do you think the existing youth training models in China are all wrong?"

   Immediately, a reporter stood up and asked directly without waiting for He Jiong to be named.

   "This reporter friend, I never said that. All roads lead to Rome, and different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. No one is good or bad."

   "I think, with the exception of a very small number of talents, for most footballers, it's easier to be successful with a clear mind and a clear mind."

   "For an offensive player, should the ball break through, pass the ball, or pass the ball? How to make the right choice?"

   "For the defensive player, should the ball be up for grabs or should be backed up, whether to assist in the defense or to mark the man, how to make the right choice?"

   "For goalkeepers, should they attack, when should they attack, and how should they make the right choice?"

   "These, all require players to have a clear mind. Why do our national football team often appear black for a few minutes? That's because their minds were not clear enough at the time, and they were all panicked and confused."

   "And how can a player have a clear mind and help them make the right choice at a critical moment. Then through the study of cultural knowledge, we must continuously cultivate their ability to think independently."

   Chen Ran's long speech immediately shocked the audience.

  Although he said that different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, no one is good or bad. But none of the reporters present were fools, and no one could understand the meaning of his words.

   However, what Chen Ran said did not seem unreasonable.

   The entire venue fell into a calm state for a while.

   The reporters in the audience were desperately trying to digest Chen Ran's point of view, and for a while, no one continued to ask questions.

  Chen Ran took a sip of water calmly, and at this time, this point of view he threw out was like a shock bomb, deafening.

   Seeing the cold scene at the press conference, the host He Jiong stood up.

   "Are there any reporter friends asking questions? If not, the press conference is over."

"Have!"

   As soon as He Jiong finished speaking, a reporter stood up again.

   "Mr. Chen, hello, I'm a reporter from the Ford News. Your point of view is very novel, and it is very different from the current thinking in the domestic football world. Can you tell me your specific plan?"

"Okay. I call this model a 'combination of sports and education'. First, the selection is carried out across the country, and the talented children are selected and gathered together. While attending normal classes in the cooperative schools, they are accepted by the Crystal Palace youth training team in their spare time. professional training.”

   "Mr. Chen, I heard that you will bring your child to the UK, join the Crystal Palace team for training, and then participate in UK competitions at all levels, right?"

   "Yes. But that will wait until the children finish junior high school in China. At that time, the Crystal Palace youth training echelon will send someone to conduct the assessment. After passing the assessment, they will go to the UK and officially become a member of the Crystal Palace club's youth training team."

   "Mr. Chen, if you start from the age of 10, it will take about five years to graduate from junior high school. Will this be too long?"

   "I came back to China to do youth training this time, and I made a long-term plan. Five years are just the beginning. From now on, Crystal Palace will conduct selections for the whole country every year, and a team will be established for each age group."

   "During this period, during the summer vacation for these children, I will arrange for them to go to Europe to participate in the competition of European children of the same age. To broaden their horizons and absorb experience."

"Oh!"

   Chen Ran's arrangement immediately aroused exclamations from the reporters present.

   Arranges to go to Europe to compete with peers every year, which is unprecedented in the domestic youth training circle. This first-of-its-kind feat made reporters excited.

   "Mr. Chen, the fees for this youth training program you run must not be cheap, right? Can you tell me the specific fees?"

   "All children who pass the selection will be free of charge and will not be charged any fees."

"what?"

"real or fake?"

"is that a lie?"

   "Did I hear it wrong?"

   "Is there such a good thing?"

   This time, the whole venue was even more fried.

   You don’t even receive money?

   Where are you doing youth training? This is clearly doing charity?

   Since the national football team entered the 2002 World Cup finals, there has been a football boom in China, and various football schools have sprung up.

  According to media statistics, there were about 20,000 football training institutions in the country at its peak. Most of them are for the purpose of making money and making money, and few really care about nurturing children.

  Chen Ran now proposes not to charge any fees, such a shocking move that journalists can't believe their ears.

   "Mr. Chen, I take the liberty to ask you one more time. You just said: You don't charge any fees for this youth training program, right?" Some reporters confirmed it again uneasy.

   "Yes, you heard it right. We don't charge any fees. All the expenses of this youth training program will be borne by me personally. This is also a small contribution I made to Chinese football."

   "Clap clap clap clap"

  Applause, warm applause resounded throughout the venue.

   Chen Ran's voice just fell, and everyone present puckered up their palms in unison.

   Even Xu Yuan, who was sitting next to Chen Ran, couldn't help turning his head to look over.

  I didn't expect that Chen Ran would do this. No wonder he was able to manage the humble Crystal Palace team so well.

  The pattern of doing things, the atmosphere!

   Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had reached a climax, Chen Ran decided to strike while the iron was hot.

   "Dear journalists, please explain when you write the manuscript. Even if there are children who fail the assessment of the Crystal Palace youth training echelon, they will not be able to go to the UK."

   "They can also choose to continue their studies, or join other clubs. We will not do anything to stop them, so please rest assured."

   "If a child chooses to continue studying, as long as he can be admitted to university, then his university tuition will also be borne by me personally. This is also a thank you to this child and his parents for their trust in me."

   "Clap clap clap clap"

   The applause sounded again, and it lasted for a long time.

   In any case, although I don’t know if Chen Ran’s youth training model will be successful. But all the promises he made made everyone present feel his sincerity.

  This is worthy of respect!
