Vol 4 Chapter 9: Messi from China, Japan and South Korea

"Golden Greenery(
When death is inevitable, the meaning of death becomes a difficult choice.
Faced with a 3-0 deficit, South Korean coach Paulo Bento made a staff adjustment after the break, showing his pursuit of a decent death. But only one person has been replaced, and it also shows that decency is only a cautious desire for decency.
Lee Seung-woo, who was the youngest in the team and just turned 21 on the opening day of the Asian Cup, replaced Hwang Hee-chan, who disappeared after missing a great scoring opportunity in the opening game.
Lee Seung-woo is well-known in South Korea and was also selected for last year's World Cup and Asian Games lineup, but he was the last passenger on the last train after Bento's favorite Na Sang-ho came to the United Arab Emirates and was injured in training.
Lee Seung-woo is called 'Korea's Messi'.
Among the top players today, because Boss Mei has the most recognizable figure and distinctive features, 'XX Messi' has always been the most marketable.
About eight or nine years ago, the media of China, Japan and South Korea all launched their own country's "Messi", but South Korea and Japan belonged to the "true plum", and the Chinese media was the "strong plum" that forced the drama.
In 2010, the South Korean U12 juniors participated in an international competition called "Danone Cup". During the competition, the South Korean juniors performed well and won the runner-up. Many players aroused the amazement of the scouts on site.
Soon after, three Korean children, 12-year-old Li Shengyou, 13-year-old Bai Chenghao, and 12-year-old Zhang Jiexi, were packaged by Barcelona and dug into La Masia. At that time, it was not just South Korea and Asia that were sensational.
Zhuo Yang, who was still in Barcelona at that time, often saw the "Three Korean Heroes", and he was so envious that he wanted to find a place where no one was there to strangle them one by one.
The three are not bad, and Li Shengyou performed particularly well. In the first season, he played 29 times for Barcelona U13 and scored an astonishing 39 goals, setting a new record for the La Masia U13 age group. The title of 'Korean Messi'.
And the maker of the old goal record before La Masia U13 was Boss Mei himself.
Zhuo Yang also met 'Japanese Messi' Jianying Kubo in Barcelona. This is also a child who he can't wait to strangle to death.
Kenying Kubo, who is three years younger than Lee Seung-woo, stood out from 300 children in a training camp opened by Barcelona in Yokohama, Japan. At that time, Kubo Jianying had been signed by Yokohama Mariners in the draft, but he couldn't stand Barcelona's invitation and broke the contract and came to La Masia.
Later, on behalf of Barcelona, ​​Kubo Jianying won the third place in the European U9 Champions Cup and was elected as the MVP of the competition.
Speaking of which, countries all over the world have launched their own 'Messi' one after another, but only the 'Han Meimei' Li Seungyou and 'Nishixi' Kubo Jianying who played for La Masia are the most authentic.
Compared with the two of them, the 'Chinese Messi' at that time was purely a joke.
At that time, football hope Chunlei had not yet arisen. Liu Langdong was still a kidnapped child in the mountains. Mei Zixi's happiest thing was to hold hands with her sister at the same table after school. Li Zimo slept in get out of class and played football and fought after class.
Looking at Li Shengyou and Kubo Jianying, the Chinese media not to be outdone, launched the "Chinese Messi" Xu Xu.
Xu Xu is the same age as Li Shengyou, and is also 21 years old this year. He is very talented, and at the age of 13, he was able to cross into the Shandong U15 echelon, but frankly, he was not the most dazzling player of the same age in China at that time.
Xu Xu's ability to become 'Chinese Messi' is related to his experience. In the spring of the age of 14 and a half, Xu's father left China with Xu and went to Barcelona to start a persevering trial training experience. Has been reluctant to give up for two years, during which he only played scattered in a few amateur teams in Barcelona to maintain his state.
Two years of persistence shows at least two points, persistence and money.
Although Xu's father firmly believed that all the Barcelona U15 and even U17 players were not as good as their sons, he insisted that in 2015, he finally only waited for the signing of the Spanish team from the same city of Barcelona.
The signing is signed, but after two seasons, let alone the first team of the Parrot Legion, even the second team of the Spaniards in the second division B (equivalent to the third level), Xu Xu has only won a total of less than 5 substitutes. opportunity. The technology is acceptable, but the confrontation ability is too poor.
Frankly speaking, Xu Xu was almost wasted in these four years.
In 2017, Xu Xu was released from the contract by the Spaniard and then returned to China. After a series of trial trainings, he joined Shaanxi Chang'an Athletics of China Second Division. Last year, he was promoted to the Shaanxi Division A with the team during the integration of the new Chinese Super League. Now he is just a marginal substitute on the bench.
And Li Zimo, Liu Langdong and Hope Chunlei many real geniuses have already been born, and the title of "Chinese Messi" was also bound to Li Zimo a few years ago, although he himself was reluctant.
There are too many stories of injury to Zhongyong in football, but Xu Xu is no exception.
Although Li Shengyou and Kubo Jianying did not reach the height expected by the Koreans and Japanese many years ago, they finally developed normally, and there is no fate to speak of. They have at least some bad luck.
Barcelona was a bit crazy in those years, and the search for Li Shengyou and Kubo Jianying was just the beginning. In the following years, Barcelona collected more than a dozen children from all over the world to enter La Masia. Laporta did it, so did Roselle and Bartomeu.
FIFA and UEFA have extremely strict rules for clubs signing players under the age of 18, especially under 16, which are much stricter than signing adult players. The purpose of this is to make football youth training fair and to prevent money laundering by clubs.
Barcelona understands it better than anyone else, but the means and methods they use to sign these fart kids can't stand the test. The so-called dog hits bricks. In 2014, under the impetus of Real Madrid's third vice-chairman Jiménez, the FIFA Players Status Committee began an investigation into this series of signings by Barcelona.
Subsequently, Barcelona was banned from buying transfers for two years, including the first team and echelon. More than a dozen young players, including Li Shengyou, Kubo Jianying and the 'Three Heroes of South Korea', were also sentenced to be in violation of the rules for joining La Masia. Playing football inside is actually equivalent to being banned from Europe.
Xu Xu also gave up the trial training against this background, otherwise he would still insist. This thing is just like sticking to writing online articles on the street, riding a tiger is difficult to belong to, and at least it will make it sound good if you stick to it. Bassa yo~, writer yo~
Kubo Jianying turned back to Japan and joined Tokyo FC, waiting to reconnect with Barcelona after turning 18 this summer, but I don’t know if Barcelona, ​​who already has Liu Langdong, will sign him.
However, Lee Seung-woo and the ‘Korea Sanjie’ chose to stay behind, not to play games but to continue training with the team. After all, they were old at that time, and it was only half a year and a year from the age of 18.
But there is no serious game to play in the years when the ball should be increased the most. It is really not something that people do. The 18-year-old Lee Seung-woo was re-signed by Barcelona, ​​but moved to Serie A Verona a year later, and he has been relegated to Serie B with the team this season.
The 22-year-old Bai Chenghao is now playing in the second division B of the newly-promoted Girona second team in La Liga. He is the Girona that belongs to the city group and is called the "Manchester City Second Team", but he is still a marginal member of the Korean football team.
The worst is Zhang Jiexi, known as 'Korea Iniesta'. He was released from the contract after sitting on the bench in Greece for a whole year last season. At the age of 22, he is now in Han Bing (K3) Pyeongtaek FC, and still Is the bench, I heard that he wants to retire.
Li Zimo, instead of Liu Langdong and Mei Zixi, was named "Chinese Messi" because he was the first to stand out among this group of children. After he was named Madipah U16, he was eagerly grafted to the title by the Chinese media.
Of course, being tall is also a very important factor. Now he is only 171, and Liu Langdong has grown to 182.
Li Zimo doesn't want the title of 'Chinese Messi' at all. Their family and Zhuo's family used to be in the same village. His father, the village chief, Ke Zi, and Zhuo Yang were golf friends in the early years. uukanshu.com is now the director of the management committee of the Hope Town Sports and Music Park, and they are so familiar with Zhuo Yang that their dog-skin socks are not straightened.
Li Zimo is the child Zhuo Yang watched grow up, and he called Zhuo Yang his uncle since he was a child. This bear child is very crazy since he was a child. It belongs to - Lao Tzu is the nephew of Uncle Zhuo. Who the are you calling me 'Messi'?
But the media won't reason with a little kid. With the explosion of Liu Langdong's talent, Li Zimo and him became the deadly rivals of the twin stars who fell in love with each other. In order to shirk the title, Li Zimo even begged Liu Langdong to take the title of "Chinese Messi" away.
But although Liu Langdong is not crazy, his relationship with Zhuo Yang is also very deep. After being found by his biological parents, his football career was started by Zhuo Yang himself. Brother Zhuo is the in his heart, what is Messi?
When Mei Zixi, who looked like a and had a similar name, broke out of the ground, the title of 'Chinese Messi' on Li Zimo was already firmly attached to him, and he couldn't get rid of it. Mei Zixi took the 'little Messi'.
It is precisely because of dissatisfaction with "Chinese Messi" that Li Zimo rejected Barcelona in a fit of anger during the big division in 2016, and chose Real Madrid.
Under the close attention of Zhuo Yang, in the rigorous operation of the eldest sister Tou Zhuo Qiu, the signing of Chinese children with Barcelona and European teams in recent years is the most formal procedure. .
Under the strong contrast of the Chinese teenagers, the Korean media are actually quite disappointed with Lee Seung-woo. Although he wore the South Korean football 10 jersey in the World Cup last year and made two substitute appearances, South Korea already has the name of 'Han Meimei' The trend of transferring to 18-year-old Lee Kang-in, who played for the second team of the Second Division B Warren.
On the 12th, Li Shengyou appeared. He pursed his lips and secretly glanced at his former "teammate" Zhuo Yang, and then looked at Li Ju, Park Renmeng and Wang Poxian, and sighed quietly in his heart.
