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

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

Even if there are arrangements for cultural classes, it is more of a casual thing and no one really pays attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ran would attack the existing youth training system as soon as he returned to China. This immediately aroused greater interest from reporters. This is a topic.

"Mr. Chen, do you think the current youth training model in China is wrong?"

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

"This journalist friend, I didn't say that. All roads lead to Rome. Different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. No one is better or worse."

"I think, except for a very small number of geniuses, for most football players, it is easier for people with a clear mind and clear thinking to succeed."

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

"For defensive players, should they attack the ball or retreat? Should they help defend or mark the ball? How to make the right choice?"

"For a goalkeeper, should he attack, when should he attack, and how to make the right choice?"

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

"And how can we enable a player to have a clear mind and help them make the right choices at critical moments? That is to continuously cultivate their ability to think independently through the study of cultural knowledge."

...

Chen Ran's long speech immediately shocked the entire audience.

Although he said that different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and no one is better or worse. But none of the reporters present is a fool, and no one can understand the meaning of his words.

However, what Chen Ran said seems to be reasonable.

The entire venue temporarily fell into a state of calm.

The reporters in the audience were all trying their best to digest Chen Ran's point of view. For a moment, no one continued to ask questions.

Chen Ran calmly took a sip of water. At this time, the point of view he put forward was like a shock bomb, deafening and enlightening.

Seeing that the press conference was quiet, the host He Jiong stood up.

"Are there any reporters who have questions? If not, the press conference will end here."

"have!"

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

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am a reporter from Ford Baobao. Your point of view is very novel and very different from the current thinking in the domestic football world. Can you talk about the specific plan?"

"Okay. I call this model 'combination of sports and education'. We will first conduct a nationwide selection and select talented children to gather together. While attending regular classes at the cooperative school, they will also receive training from the Crystal Palace youth training team in their spare time.

professional training.”

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you will bring your children to the UK, join the Crystal Palace echelon for training, and then participate in various levels of competition in the UK, right?"

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

"Mr. Chen, if you start counting from the age of 10, it will take about five years to graduate from junior high school. Isn't this too long?"

"This time I returned to China for youth training and made a long-term plan. Five years is just the beginning. From now on, Crystal Palace will conduct national selections every year, and a team will be established for each age group."

"During this period, I will arrange for these children to go to Europe every summer to participate in competitions with European children of the same age. This will broaden their horizons and absorb experience."

"oh!"

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

Arrangements are made to go to Europe to compete with peers every year, which is unprecedented in the domestic youth training industry. This unprecedented feat made reporters excited.

"Mr. Chen, the youth training program you run must not be cheap. 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 wrongly?"

"Is there such a good thing?"

...

At this time, the entire venue was in a state of uproar.

Don't even charge money?

How is this youth training? This is clearly charity?

Since the national football team reached the 2002 World Cup finals, there has been a football craze in the country, and various football schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

According to media statistics, there were approximately 20,000 football training institutions across the country at their peak. Most of them were there to make money, and few of them really cared about cultivating children.

Chen Ran now proposed not to charge any fees. Such a shocking move made reporters unable to believe their ears.

"Mr. Chen, I take the liberty to ask you again. Did you just say that you don't charge any fees for this youth training program?" Another reporter confirmed it again worriedly.

"Yes, you heard it right. We do not charge any fees. All expenses for this youth training project will be borne by me personally. This can be regarded as my small contribution to Chinese football."

"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."

Applause, warm applause resounded throughout the venue.

As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, everyone present clapped their hands in unison.

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

Unexpectedly, this Chen Ran would actually do this. No wonder he was able to run this humble team like Crystal Palace in a spectacular way.

This way of doing things is so grand!

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 this when writing your article. Even if there are children who fail to pass 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 studying or join other clubs. We will not do anything to stop them. Parents can rest assured about this."

"If a child chooses to continue studying, as long as he can go to college, then I will personally bear his college tuition. This is also a thank you to this child and his parents for their trust in me."

"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."

The applause sounded again and lasted for a long time.

In any case, although I don’t know whether Chen Ran’s youth training model will be successful, the various promises he made made everyone present feel his sincerity.
Chapter completed!
