Chapter 24: Welcome to La Masia

The entrance to Barcelona’s training base is always full of people who are full of shoulders, these people are fans of art football, they come from all over the world, just like believers go to Mecca to worship, come to art Worship the top of the hall of football.
Holding a camera and a mobile phone that can take pictures, they can't wait to press the shutter frequently before they enter the door, and then talk excitedly about this Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta...Of course, Messi is absolutely indispensable, this young Argentine genius captured the hearts of many fans with his superb skills.
　　 But in fact, if they want to see the birthplace of art football, in fact, they do not need to go to the crowded first team training ground.
　　On the other side of Aristides Street is the training ground for the Barcelona Youth Camp La Masia.
　　 Unlike the hundreds of fans around the first team, the youth team's training class is only watched by a few people.
　　 The atmosphere here is slightly different today.
　　Before the official training time, a team of white buses and three SUVs stopped on the side of the road where the Lamasia Football School is located.
"Aren't we going to La Masia? How did you come to Camp Nou?" Zhou Yi got off the car and was naturally attracted by the magnificent stadium in front of him. This is the Camp Nou Stadium, home of the world-famous Barcelona football. .
　　 is not just Zhou Yi, after others get off the bus, they are also looking at the Camp Nou not far in the first time. It is really huge, people's eyes will be attracted by it involuntarily.
　　 Even He Ying turned his eyes to the Camp Nou, a little fascinated.
　　After all the young players got off the bus, it was Garcia, the technical director of La Masia Football School, who came to receive them.
　　 He took everyone to turn left and left Camp Nou.
"Welcome everyone to La Masia Football School!" Standing in front of a two-story building made of yellow stone, Garcia opened her hands to make a welcoming gesture, and this action is also proud to show everyone behind him This small building.
　　 differed from other teammates in praise, but Zhou Yi pouted, and said with disappointment: "This is La Masia? Isn't this a farmhouse?"
　　 On the way from the airport to the hotel, Zhou Yi saw in their car that there is such a house in the farmland along the highway. Some people said at the time that this was a Catalan farmhouse.
　　 Zhou Yi did not expect to see the farmhouse in the city of Barcelona.
　　 He was really disappointed.
　　 The famous La Masia Football School, just such a small building and a training ground? And look up, it seems to be... artificial turf!
　　 "In Catalan, the word "Marcia" of "Ramacia" originally meant the farm." He Ying, who came down behind him, heard Zhou Yi's contemptuous tone and couldn't help refuting.
　　 He was not very surprised by the real face of La Masia. Obviously, he had already done an investigation and was prepared.
　　 "Uh, well..." Zhou Yi spread his hands.
He later knew that the book He Ying held in his hand was a Catalan textbook. He Ying studied Catalan so seriously that he seemed to want to play in Barcelona. He was a Barcelona "Brain powder".
Garcia couldn’t understand Chinese, so he didn’t know what Zhou Yi said to his teammates, and his attention was not on these little players. After introducing the iconic building of La Masia Football School, he took it with him Everyone visited the interior of the building.
　　 This is also part of the reality show.
Garcia took everyone to visit the La Masia Football School. On the slightly yellowish white wall of the restaurant, there were photos of many players. They looked very immature in the photos, but they have long been world-renowned superstars, some Still in service, some have retired.
　　 For example, there is a photo taken in 1988. Twenty children all have long hair that was popular at the time. One of the thin children has now become the head coach of the Barcelona first team. He is Guardiola. In this picture there are two other people, Altimira and Vilanova, who are now assistant coaches of the first team.
　　 "Barcelona has entered a cycle." Garcia said very proudly when introducing the people in the photos to the Chinese guests.
　　Although Barcelona’s league champions were robbed by the rival Real Madrid in the previous two seasons, this did not affect the pride of Barcelona’s youth. In youth training, they have now surpassed Real Madrid's Lafabrica.
　　 The Chinese young players followed the visit intently, carefully observing what the superstars look like in the photos on the wall today.
　　 Some people are purely curious, while others take the attitude of a pilgrim.
　　 Purely curious Zhou Yidong Zhang Xiwang found Guo Nu's expression a bit strange, his body still trembling slightly, he couldn't help but patted the other person's shoulder: "Hey, what are you doing, Lao Guo?"
　　 didn't expect this action to surprise Guo Nu. He turned his head and glared at Zhou Yi. Instead of answering Zhou Yi's question, he continued to glance at the photos with a pilgrimage-like gaze.
　　 Zhou Yi suddenly realized: "So you are a supporter of Barcelona!"
　　 "How is it?" Guo Nuo's tone was not good, but not anger, but... a bit shy, it seemed that someone was embarrassed after being known about his support.
　　 "Uh, not good..." Zhou Yi raised his hand.
　　Guo Nu ignored him, and continued to look at the giant stars in the photos, one by one with the now famous people.
　　 Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Fabregas, Pique... He found them all.
　　 While looking for it, Guo Nu's mind uncontrollably began to fantasize. If he can enter the Barcelona youth team... Then, after a few years, will his photos also appear on this wall?
　　 Everyone of these young Chinese players hopes to be able to impress the coaches of the giant youth training camp they challenge through their excellent performance in the game, so that they can enter their favorite youth clubs of the giant clubs, so as to realize their dream of staying abroad.
　　Guo Nu obviously also hopes that he can perform well in the game, so as to obtain the opportunity to stay in La Masia.
　　As Guo Nu dreamed of this beautiful future, Zhou Yi's voice seemed to come from another plane, pulling him back to reality.
　　 "You also want to hang on the wall, Lao Guo?"
　　Guo Nu glanced at Sun Pan and found that Sun Pan was staring at him, so he forced the anger that was interrupted by his dream, and gritted his teeth and asked, "How is it?"
　　 "The ideal is great, Lao Guo. But let's find a way to play first..." Zhou Yi patted Guo Nu's shoulder and sighed with sympathy.
　　 When Guo Nu heard this, he couldn't get angry, but instead looked like a deflated ball, his body shrunk... so that he was not tall at all.
　　 Sixteen people's "Chinese team", the main lineup is fixed, and not a secret. Although head coach Hao Dong hasn't announced the starting lineup for this afternoon's game, the fool knows which eleven people are playing.
　　Guo Nu always played as a substitute during the domestic training. It is absolutely impossible for him to get a starting opportunity in this game unless a miracle occurs.
　　 But Guo Nu doesn't believe in miracles. If there is a miracle, can he be made to be ten centimeters taller?
　　 Like Guo Nu, it is impossible to hit the main force, and Zhou Yi, who is known as "the weakest of the sixteen people".
　　 So his tone of sympathy is definitely not pretended, he is really sympathetic to Guo Nu!
　　 Two substitutes.
　　Compared with Guo Nu's daydream of having no confidence and pure eroticism, he also looked at the pictures of the superstars on the wall when he was a child. The yearning in his eyes may be more real.
When Guo Nu was still sad and upset about not being able to play, He Ying was already 100% sure of his main force. As a striker, he was also most likely to show his way in the game, which attracted the attention of the coach of La Masia Youth people.
　　With his strength, if anyone in this "Chinese team" is most likely to go to La Masia, it must be him.
　　※※※
　　 The visit came to an end very quickly, because I was walking around in a small two-story building.
　　 This small building is what everyone calls "La Masia" and includes a dining room, six bedrooms, a library and a computer room. Watching the horses and flowers can be finished soon.
　　After all, this small building was originally used as a dormitory for echelon players, not a comprehensive building as a training base. Naturally, the scale is limited.
　　 So in this sense, Zhou Yi's first impression of La Masia is true.
　　 is indeed a place of the same size as a farmhouse.
　　After visiting La Masia, the young players came to the training ground of the youth team.
　　 Opposite this small building, after walking a gentle slope, it is the training ground.
　　 It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. The sun hung in the west sky. The sunlight slanted down and cast a huge shadow on the training ground. UU reading www.uukanshu. com occupies nearly half of the area of ​​this training ground.
　　 This huge shadow comes from a bigger building beside the training ground.
　　 Everyone looked up at it, this is the home of the world-renowned Barcelona football team, the UEFA five-star certified Camp Nou stadium!
　　Although they saw it as soon as they got off the bus, they still can't help but look at it now.
　　 This is the Camp Nou. Its huge and majestic body is full of all people's vision, and it comes to you, avoiding you and can only accept the visual and spiritual impact it brings to you.
　　 This famous football stadium is only ten meters away from the training ground of La Masia Football School.
Garcia saw everyone's eyes attracted by Camp Nou, so he said: "Our home and training ground are so close, which is convenient for us to inspire young players, they can gain momentum by looking at this stadium. "
　　Zhou Yi grabbed Guo Nu's shoulder and said to Guo Nu who was looking up at the Camp Nou with a pilgrimage: "Old Guo, it seems that you are not far from Camp Nou, just a big foot! Ha!"
　　Guo Nuke wasn't in a mood to joke with him. He gave him a blank look and said nothing.
　　 He continued to look at the Camp Nou, clearly in the shadows, and the slightly anxious face seemed to be able to shine the Holy Light...
　　Zhou Yi saw him like this, it is not easy to continue to make fun of him.
　　 Even people who are not optimistic about the world have the power to dream.
　　 On this point, Zhou Yi may have a deeper experience than anyone else.
