On October 8, Tübingen Youth played against Karlsruhr II. The match was held at the Tübingen Sports Center. There were probably less than a thousand fans watching the game. The match ended with Tübingen easily winning 3:0.
.On October 15th, Tübingen Youth played Neckarsulm away from home, and the game ended with 3:2. On October 21st, Tübingen Youth challenged Germania F, and the game also ended with 3:2.
Four consecutive victories brought 12 points to the Tübingen youth, and they rushed to tenth place in the rankings with 15 total points, while top-ranked Rutlingen and Germania shared 20 points. But it is worth it.
It is worth mentioning that Hoffenheim ranked fourth with 19 points, just below SV Spielberg's 19 points. This year's Baden-Württemberg State League competition is fierce, and the top 10 scores are all
Within one point, the rankings may change drastically after a round of games.
The team's good results have stimulated the football market and made the club's financial statements look much better. But Wang Ai is worried. Because it can be seen from the fourth game against Germania F that Tübingen youth are surrounded by
The strategic deception he carried out has been exposed. Only the Tubingen youth has won consecutive victories recently. Opponents will definitely get their team's game data from the state football association. Wang Ai's 9 assists in four games have now been recorded as assists.
top of the list.
However, apart from himself, there is really no one available in the team. Boateng is very diligent and intercepts very efficiently, but it is beyond his ability to assist him. It is conceivable that in the future, as the Tubingen youth rises in the rankings
As we continue to make progress, our opponents’ attacks on this point will inevitably continue to intensify.
The pressure is too great and there is no one available.
From late October, Wang Ai, accompanied by Leonie, began to prepare for the team's signings. Unlike the professional league, signings in the amateur league are relatively easy, and it does not mean that it has to be done during the winter break or at the end of the season.
Only later. Since the contracts signed by many amateur teams and players are short-term contracts, the compensation is also very small.
There is a two-level league system in Tübingen, called the Community League, with a total of 36 teams. Otherwise, how could a small town like Tübingen with a population of 80,000 have ten stadiums? And the administrative district of Tübingen is the 21st in Germany.
One of the administrative regions, including the capital of Tübingen, all the cities in the administrative region have a league called the Bundesliga. Last year, the Tübingen team rose from the top of the highest level of the Bundesliga to Baden-Würten.
in the Fort Interstate League.
After a brief inspection of the city's teams, Wang Ai left in frustration. Also, if the city's teams had good players, they wouldn't be able to wait for Wang Ai to pick them. Old Kugel has been picking them back and forth in the past three years.
I don’t know how many rounds. It seems that there is no hope for the community league, so I can only choose from the federation league.
Wang Ai ran around the Tubingen administrative area non-stop, searched a lot, and was optimistic about a few players, but they were not much better than the existing Tubingen team players in individual positions, and they were still at amateur level.
, even the level of the interstate league is barely there.
Although it is now a time when the German football chariot is getting older and crumbling, and it is also the eve of the reconstruction of German football, the developed league system of German football and the rigorous character of the Germans make it possible for German players to rarely miss talents. As long as It is clear when you look at the resumes of the members of the previous German team rosters. They all come from the youth training system of strong teams. Scouts all over the society can observe the performance of a young football player round after round. As long as there are bright spots, it is good. A young talent will definitely have the opportunity to be attracted to the youth training system of a strong team, receive rigorous training, and gradually rise in the club's internal system.
The 500,000 euros that Wang Bin left for Ai's German company are actually "start-up capital", which is not very necessary. Wang Ai does not want to take care of the family and continue to ask for money. And the 500,000 euros have basically gone somewhere, and a large amount of extra money has been added. It is obviously impossible to invest in acquiring players. Besides, it is not feasible to compete with those well-known clubs for financial resources.
Given that the Tübingen team is only a rookie fourth-tier league team, it is obviously impossible to attract future stars with bright prospects. For example, Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is just 16 years old, is only in the youth team. The club that team belongs to is called "Bayern Munich"! Similarly, 17-year-old Lahm is also in the Munich youth team and is a future star of the first team. 15-year-old Podolski is now in the Cologne youth team and is also selected by the first team. The future main force that focuses on training. Even though such a player is in a low-level league, his future is quite bright. It is impossible for him to join a fourth-level league team with an uncertain future. Even goalkeeper Neuer has now been eliminated. Schalke 04 is interested in him, even if he is only 14 years old!
As for players in their 20s, those with high standards must be in high-level leagues. For example, 24-year-old Ballack is already Leverkusen's main force. Or their potential has been exhausted and there is no room for improvement.
At present, there are only two types of players that Wang Ai can choose. One is a player who has become a marginal player in high-level leagues due to age, injuries and other reasons, such as Favre selected by the old Kugel. Young players who are excluded from mainstream circles for reasons such as minority players who are discriminated against.
Throughout November, Wang Ai and Leonie traveled all over southern Germany and signed two "uncle generation" players. One had played in the Bundesliga for one year, and the other had played in the Bundesliga for five years. He was in good health. They are just older, one is 36 and the other is 37! As for young players, none were found.
One day at the end of November, the two came to Essen, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia. They were exhausted both physically and mentally and were not interested in talking much. They left the station and went straight to the stadium, where there was an Essen federation meeting. In the league, the two sides were the match between Red and White Essen II and Styrum.
The game was as mediocre as the dozens of federation league games I had watched this month. Wang Ai fell asleep leaning on Leonie's shoulder halfway through the game. The pressure of the Tübingen youth team's game was getting bigger and bigger. In November, although Tübingen Youth still maintained a winning streak and improved its points to fifth place in the rankings, only three points away from the leader Rutlingen, opponents are becoming more and more targeted. Wang Ai's assist data continues to shrink, and he won the last two games with great reluctance.
A boring game was over. Wang Ai was awakened by Leonie. Unlike the audience who were leaving the field happily, Wang Ai did not leave in a hurry. He sat in the audience and thought, should he continue to look for players? Otherwise
I might as well just hang out in the fourth-tier league for two years, and wait until my body grows up to try out with other teams. In the past two months, Leverkusen's scouts have called me three times and invited me to try out.
.
Otherwise, go to Leverkusen?
This idea has been in Wang Ai's mind more than once. Going to Leverkusen seems to have a bright future, but it is difficult to say about his university studies. The time cannot be guaranteed. What's more important is that Professor Schwartz turned out to be
Tübingen fans! As long as it is for the Tübingen team, no matter how I ask for leave, Schwartz will agree with a smile, but it would be difficult to say if it were Leverkusen.
Moreover, if you go to Leverkusen, you won't be able to join the first team immediately. It will have to be two or three years later.
The most important thing is that before going abroad, I had already agreed with Director Yuan Weimin that I would participate in the World Junior Championships and complete my Ph.D.
Thinking of this, Wang Ai sighed and shook his head, stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, all the fans were gone. Another trip in vain! Wang Ai looked around reluctantly. There was a light that was not too bright on the training ground next to the main stadium. Under the light, a young player was practicing hard alone.
