Chapter 1014 Football Colonial Era(1/2)
Yang Huan arrived one day earlier than the entire Southampton team? Ben, Maki Horikita came to pick up his plane.
But he did not go to Hokkaido to take a hot spring bath and have a mixed bath for men and women, but went directly to Osaka and watched the game between Yangcheng Hengda against Mexico and America in Osaka.
Judging from the competition, both sides are really evenly matched.
Although the Mexican America team scored the first goal, Yangcheng Hengda scored two goals in the last ten minutes, stubbornly reversed Mexico America and successfully advanced to the next round.
Especially the final goal, which is truly admirable.
It can be seen that this team has such a momentum. In the past few years, the money has not been in vain.
However, whether it is Yangcheng Hengda or Mexico and America, they want to compete with super strong teams like Southampton, which is not possible for the time being. The gap between the two sides is directly reflected in the team's price.
Southampton's total value is twenty times that of Yangcheng Hengda.
Although value may not reflect strength, it can at least show that there is an irreparable gap between the two teams.
After all, the Club World Cup is still the same as the previous Toyota Cup, and the ones who really compete with each other are the European champions and South American champions.
But from the scene, Yang Huan can also see the progress of Yangcheng Hengda.
At least, the overall look is already very well organized, and the players' ideas for playing football on the court are also very clear. In addition, with strong foreign players, the overall strength looks pretty good.
It should be said that these have made people see the joyful changes.
Originally, Chinese football has lagged behind Europe, not even South American teams in terms of concepts, tactics, youth training, daily training, and even team management.
In this case, introducing foreign coaches and foreign aids will definitely help improve the domestic football level.
When the domestic football level is improved in all aspects and when the professional football industry gradually becomes large, everything will naturally follow, even youth training.
To give a simple example, suppose that all the sixteen teams in the Chinese Super League are burning money and introducing strong foreign players, but how many can they be?
If domestic players are not good, what's the use of foreign players?
Therefore, foreign players and local players complement each other. While introducing strong foreign players, they will definitely pay attention to local players.
Even if you can't train yourself, you will definitely spend money to buy it.
When excellent local players in China are scarce and transfer fees rise, it will be easy to deal with. There will definitely be teams responsible for training, then cash out and sell, and finally form a stable player transfer system.
Just like in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona are responsible for burning money, while other teams are responsible for cultivating talents.
Atletico Madrid is now eager to squeeze into the First Army, and will be responsible for burning money and attracting stars in the future.
Of course, this does not mean that these teams responsible for burning money do not pay attention to youth training.
All I can say is that they will not rely on youth training.
Even though Southampton's youth training output is amazing, in less than five years, the saints will definitely take this path.
The reason is very simple. This is the path that all giant teams must take after they develop to a certain level.

…………
On the second day after Yangcheng Hengda reversed Mexico and America, the Saints finally arrived late and arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo.
Yang Huan did not go to pick him up because the fanatical Japanese fans had been waiting at Narita Airport for a long time.
As the hottest team in Europe in the past few years, this is the first time the Saints have set foot in Japan, but they did not expect that a large number of Japanese fans would welcome the arrival of the team in an almost crazy way.
They wore Saints' jerseys and held up signs filled with various slogans, blocking the entire airport.
Not only at the airport, but also on the Japanese Internet, Saints have completely become the hottest topic of talk, no doubt about it.
After arriving at the airport, superstars such as Ancelotti, Messi, Suarez and Neuer were briefly interviewed by media reporters, expressing their desire for the Club World Cup.
"Yangcheng Hengda is a strong opponent, and we will focus on the semi-finals!"
Head coach Ancelotti said in an interview.
Captain Neuer also said that he had received the news on the plane and watched the game. He believed that Yangcheng Hengda would be a very threatening opponent.
No matter whether the Saints players' words are sincere or polite, they have given their opponents enough face.
Just kidding, this is a team from Young Master Huan’s motherland. Can you not give face?
But when you really get on the football field, it may not be possible.
As the European champion, the Saints traveled thousands of miles from Europe to Japan in the middle of the season to participate in this Club World Cup, and the organizers also gave enough face in the event arrangements.
Other teams have to go to Osaka to play a game first, but the Saints' semi-finals are scheduled to be held in Yokohama.
Therefore, as soon as the saint arrived in Tokyo, they immediately moved to Yokohama without stopping.
But even so, the Saints still announced that in the semi-finals, many superstars including Messi, Suarez, Hazard and Tony Cross will not be able to participate.
For the specific reason, the explanation given by the saints is that there is injury.
But everyone knows that this group of players has just played in the Premier League and Champions League in Europe, so how could they be injured?
The most important thing is for the event considerations.
After the Club World Cup and returning to Europe, the Saints will usher in the Christmas Devil Schedule without stopping.
If it weren't for the FIFA mandatory regulations that these stars must get and must play, the Saints would definitely not have arranged them all on the roster.
To be honest, by the fact that the Saints have the strength to win the championship even if they all come on the bench.
As it turns out, there is no problem with the confidence of the saints.
In the semi-finals against Yangcheng Hengda, although the Saints did not give their all, they still defeated Yangcheng Hengda in a very clean and neat way, and successfully advanced to the finals.
England center Harry Kane scored twice, with Martial and Sturridge each scoring one goal.
It is worth mentioning that it was not Kovacic who replaced Tony Kros in this game, but Belgian young player Yuri Tilemans.
The Belgian is in the midfield and has a very good general style. His performance is remarkable and impressive.
His skills in the midfield are very delicate and his basic skills are very solid. With Pogba and Oscar, he firmly controlled the midfield and suppressed Yangcheng Hengda.
Three days after playing in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup and playing against Yangcheng Hengda, the Saints ushered in the final.
Before the final, Yangcheng Hengda held a three- and four-place final with Japan's Hiroshima team.
Yangcheng Hengda quickly took the lead in scoring advantage after the opening game, and then controlled the game steadily.
But in the second half, Hiroshima team began to make efforts, and Yangcheng Hengda made two mistakes and was scored by the opponent two consecutive goals.
But at the last moment of the game, captain Zheng Zhi scored a goal to equalize the score for Yangcheng Hengda, and both sides entered overtime.
In overtime, Yangcheng Hengda performed very tenaciously. With huge physical energy consumption, he scored two goals in a row, defeated Japan's Hiroshima team four-two and won the third place in the Club World Cup.
This also made Yang Huan, who was watching the game, applauded constantly and congratulated Yangcheng Hengda on WeChat, thinking that this was a victory for Chinese football, which was too powerful!
Compared with the climaxes of the third and fourth place finals, the finals were actually calm.
It's not that the game is not good, on the contrary, the Saints sent all their main players to play this time, including Messi, Suarez and Hazard, all appeared and played all over the game.
The reason why the situation is calm is mainly because the Saints crushed the Argentine Riverbed Team throughout the whole process.
Less than six minutes into the game, the Saints were the first to score.
The first record for the Saints is Argentine player Messi!
Then in the 27th minute, another assist from Hazard, Suarez grabbed the spot in the small penalty area and broke through the goal of the Hep Clau team again, rewriting the score to 2-0.
In the second half, the Saints still had an offensive and firmly controlled the game situation. In the 68th minute, Fabregas made a straight pass, Suarez counterattacked and formed a one-on-one strike, scoring again and scoring twice.
Three to zero, the Saints beat River Plate and scored the Club World Cup championship!
Yang Huan was also very sad when he watched in the stands.
The River Plate team can be said to be no match for the Saints at all. If the Saints had not kept their strength throughout the whole process, the Argentine team would have lost even worse.
It can be said that the strength of European teams in this event is definitely a crushing level.
Even the intensity and viewability of the competition are far less intense and viewable than the International Championship Cup organized and planned by Yang Huan himself.
Originally, according to Yang Huan's plan, the International Champions League should reflect the word international, so he could not be limited to the participation of European teams. Therefore, he considered inviting teams from South America to participate.
But after a while, after a look, he found that if South American teams were invited to participate, the schedule would be difficult, and the viewing performance of the game would definitely be affected.
The final analysis is that the South American team is not strong.
Looking back over the past few years, the loss of football talents in South America has been too serious.
Not to mention that the five major European leagues still attract the top football talents in South America, just like the Portuguese Super League, how many foreign players in South America are there?
There are also rich leagues such as Ukraine, Russia, and Türkiye, and they are also crazy about attracting foreign players from South America.
Now, there is another China emerging in Asia.
This is the best-quality star resource in South America, which has long been divided up. What can I use to compete with Europe?
The best stars in the world have gone to Europe. Coupled with Europe's own perfect football industry and abundant football capital operations, the European League has risen and sold it all over the world with the help of copyright.
If you really want to compete, who can stop Europe?
Although no one said that, in fact, today's world football has quietly entered the football colonial era.
Or it is the era of capital football colonization!
