Midfielder Ruler

At the end of August, the FIFA U20 World Youth Championship and the U17 World Junior Championship came to an end in Canada and South Korea.

Fabino Rodrigo is an Argentine freelance scout who earns commissions by recommending high-quality and talented young players to South American giants.

But recently he has been unlucky. The players he is optimistic about performed poorly in the World Youth Championships in Canada and the World Junior Championships in South Korea.

For example, Argentina's Banega, Di Maria, Uruguay's Cavani, Chile's Sanchez, Brazil's Rafael...

As a freelance scout who relies on recommending young players to wealthy clubs to earn commissions, Fabino Rodrygo is undoubtedly a failure.

Fortunately, after 30 years, he has a good mental adjustment ability. He turned on the computer again, double-clicked the Explorer browser, entered the South American Scouting League in the favorites, and then entered the account password to see if there were any people recently. Eye-catching video.

The South American Scouting Alliance Network is a scouting exchange network founded in 2001 by former Brazilian legendary superstar Jairzinho (the famous scout who discovered Ronaldo) to facilitate resource sharing.

Of course, sharing is not free.

As long as the young players who have been excavated by the South American Scouting Union, whether they are scouts or clubs, they must pay 10%-30% commission to the website, and members who post videos or provide information can get 10%-30% commission 40% of the share.

Fabino Rodrigo spent nearly two hours browsing dozens of pages of video materials, stretched helplessly, and yawned along the way.

These days, talented players who are emerging have been booked in advance by wealthy clubs. Even if some of them slip through the net, they are still the key training targets of those small and medium-sized clubs.

There are very few geniuses living among the people...

However, Fabino Rodrigo was very patient. He just browsed through two more pages of videos until a video called "Genius!" Absolute genius! Not a genius live broadcast Chixiang! ! "'s video post caught his attention.

I thought it was a sensational post, but two minutes later, Fabino Rodrigo slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "God, I never thought China would have such a talented player! God did not abandon me! Amen!"

But when he clicked to get the contact number of the publisher, it showed that the information had been obtained by Boca Juniors.

After being disappointed, Fabino Rodrygo comforted himself: Boca Juniors can be regarded as a top giant in South America, so how could they fall in love with the Chinese?

Yes, definitely not!

So...he decided to go to Buenos Aires in mid-October to pick up the "basket" at the trial training site held by Boca Juniors once a season.

Maybe...you can find other 'good stuff'?

※※※

The weather in Buenos Aires in October is mild, the highest temperature is 22 degrees Celsius, the lowest is 13 degrees Celsius, the humidity is moderate, the sky is blue, and there are no clouds in the sky. This kind of weather is very suitable for a high-confrontation football match.

Boca Juniors is located in the Boca district in the heart of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. Every other season, Boca Juniors, the absolute giant of Argentina, has a day to give those young people with football dreams a chance to let them dream come true.

On the day of the trial training, Boca Juniors Club will send at least four scouts and professional coaches to observe and comment on the spot in an all-round way, and then make a text form to evaluate whether the young player has enough potential to become a qualified professional football player .

At ten o'clock sharp, the coach blew his whistle on time to signal the assembly of the trial training personnel.

"Son, come on!" Tang Tianhua, like other parents present, patted his son on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Uncle Chen is also optimistic about you!" Chen Zhonghua said beside him.

"Sister Jiajia is more optimistic about you!" Chen Jia, who was dressed in fashion and beauty, said with her arms around Tang Zheng's shoulders.

Tang Zheng looked up at the three people supporting him, secretly clenched his fists, then turned his head to look at the piece of natural turf not far away - the trial training ground.

Be sure to pass the trial! !

The young people who come to Boca Juniors for trial training are basically under 20 years old, because the football world also has its own unspoken rules. Once the age exceeds 20 years old, it means that the player's skills have been finalized, the plasticity is not strong, and there is no training value.

The 30-minute warm-up time passed in a blink of an eye, and after a short five-minute rest, the fitness coach of the Boca Juniors took more than a dozen young people to a simple track and field not far away for body exercises.

In fact, it is height and weight, 30-meter sprint, 10-meter*4 round-trip running and 12-minute long-distance running, it is very simple.

The number of times is not much, two groups of each event, 12 minutes long-distance running as a group, these simple data can allow the evaluators to have a basic understanding of the physical fitness of the trainees.

Tang Zheng's stats were above average, his height and weight were a bit thinner compared to those in Europe and America, he was 1.88 meters tall and weighed only 72 kg.

He performed well in the 30-meter sprint and 10-meter*4 switchback run.

The 30-meter sprint is 3.87 seconds and 3.79 seconds, and the 10-meter*4 switchback is 8.25 seconds and 8.22 seconds.

As for the twelve-minute long-distance running, Tang Zheng's performance was very good. He ran more than 4,300 meters. He had already reached the level of a professional player, and he was also an outstanding existence among professional players.

After the physical data was evaluated, two local Argentine players who did not meet the standards were eliminated early, but they did not look depressed.

"Okay, everyone is free to rest for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, we will have an official game of 30 minutes each in the second half. I hope everyone can adjust their state and adjust their best state, because the next test The training match will be a question of whether everyone here can stay in the great Boca Juniors... Well, that's it, dismiss!" Assistant coach Ricardo Gonzalez clapped his hands to stir up everyone's emotions.

During the rest period of the trial training personnel, the U19 youth team head coach Hugo Torcari, assistant coach Ricardo Gonzalez and several scouts who were in charge of the trial training walked to the rest area. Make a side exchange.

Hugo Torcari held the data paper and looked around, only a few young people whose overall quality caught his eye, his eyes finally fixed on Tang Zheng's name.

"Oh my god, I ran more than 4,300 meters in the 12-minute run!"

Other evaluators were equally astonished, the stats being top-notch physical fitness at the pro level.

Zheng. Tang

November 22, 1989.

Not yet eighteen!

abnormal!

Five evaluators gave the final judgment on Tang Zheng's body.

As for his thin body, they ignored it, after all Tang Zheng was still young, and he would have plenty of time to train his body in the future.

Then they looked at the item of nationality: CHINA?

"Isn't this the Chinese from your scouting department?" Hugo Torcari first looked at his colleagues in the scouting department, and then turned his head to look at the other end of the field.

He easily found the yellow-skinned Tang Zheng, and murmured: "There are very few young people with such outstanding physical strength and speed. I hope... you can stay."

At the same time, several other evaluators also focused their attention on Tang Zheng, full of anticipation.

As soon as the twenty-minute break came, assistant coach Ricardo Gonzalez walked to the practice field with a yellow vest, and all the trial players stood up in a show of respect.

Ricardo Gonzalez nodded secretly, implying that the group of children are on the right track, but he still had that serious expression on his face: "Children, come here and get the vests."

The number Tang Zheng received was No. 4. To be honest, he felt very helpless. It was strange to wear No. 4 as a striker, just like the French central defender Gallas who played for Arsenal. As a central defender, he actually wore the ten number jersey.

After distributing the vests, Ricardo Gonzalez inquired about the positions according to the order of numbers, so as to facilitate the next formation.

When he asked about Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng said the international abbreviation without hesitation: "FW."

Tang Zheng's height is a bit high in this trial training list, so Ricardo Gonzalez glanced at him unexpectedly, and subconsciously asked: "ST?"

"No, it's FW."

Soon, Ricardo Gonzalez recognized Tang Zheng as a player invited by the scouting department to try out a player, so he turned around and asked the next one without asking any further questions.

After the questioning, Ricardo Gonzalez called a few substitute players from the U18 youth team to make up the 18-man roster to challenge the Boca Juniors U18 youth team.

The reason for challenging the U18 youth team is because the strength of the U19 youth team is too strong. In order to avoid a one-sided situation, the U18 youth team was finally selected as the assessment team.

But the main force of the U18 youth team should not be underestimated. They have been training together all the year round, which is much better than the temporary trial team.

Head coach Hugo Torcari is responsible for the tactical arrangement of the U18 youth team, while assistant coach Ricardo Gonzalez is responsible for the formation of the trial team.

The position Tang Zheng played was the striker position he was familiar with. In terms of freedom, Ricardo Gonzalez gave him full freedom.

There is also a young man from Colombia who has the same treatment as Tang Zheng, and he is arranged in the midfielder's position.

Tang Zheng greeted him during the warm-up, but because Tang Zheng's Spanish is not very familiar, the two communicated more with gestures.

It is worth mentioning that because Tang Zheng and the young player from Colombia were both invited by the Boca Juniors scouting department for trial training, Ricardo Gonzalez gave them a high tactical advantage, so It also caused dissatisfaction with some temporary teammates.

Princes and generals, would you rather be kind?
