When it comes to money, Yang Xufei loses confidence.
What if I don't practice my skills well in the end and don't make a lot of money? I really can't afford to pay back the debt of several thousand dollars.
He heard from his parents that their combined monthly salary was just over one hundred yuan. This was because they had raised their wages in recent years.
He couldn't calculate how many RMB a few thousand U.S. dollars would be worth. But those were U.S. dollars, so high-end they must be worth much more than RMB.
"If you can't be kicked out, you can go to my family's business and work for me to pay back the money!" Sun Dahai replied with a feigned viciousness.
Yang Xufei nodded gratefully to Sun Dahai.
Because he knew that what Sun Dahai said was actually leaving him a way out.
Since Yang Xufei has chosen football, he can almost only continue on the road of football. Otherwise, he has neither academic qualifications nor other survival skills, and it will be very difficult for him to find a job in society in the future.
His parents and relatives mostly work in sports departments and have seen many athletes who have retired or been eliminated. Those who have achieved good results and have a good relationship with superiors may become coaches or move to administrative jobs. The rest
Most people can only hope to get a good job.
In his previous life, Yang Xufei, the country no longer guaranteed distribution when he retired. He did not want to continue working in the sports industry, so he used his family connections to become a physical education teacher in school after training.
Many of his teammates were asked to find their own way out, and disappeared into the vast sea of people with confusion about their future and pain.
There is no lack of related news in the past life. A certain champion became a bather, a certain team member retired for many years, had no house, no job, and only suffered from injuries...
Sun Dahai's family's company is a foreign company, which is famous for its high wages and good benefits. Yang Xufei and other friends were often invited to Sun Dahai's home to have their teeth punched.
Sun Dahai's promise to arrange jobs for him in the future is actually his greatest support. Because he knows that even if he fails, his boss will help him.
Food for the Sky and Make Up Life have long passed the stage of employing people who are not picky about food. Now the human resources departments of the two companies have raised the entry threshold several times. But even so, they cannot stop job seekers.
What's more, every graduation season, the company will receive many phone calls or notes, and the recommendations from various connections are overwhelming, but there is no way to reject them all. Who makes China today a relationship society?
Originally, Sun Dahai didn't want Yang Xufei to know that he had a way out, fearing that it would reduce his motivation to fight. But now that he wants him to go to Europe for training, he will have to face the situation of working alone in a foreign country for a long time.
Yang Xufei is not very old now, so Sun Dahai still feels that not to put too heavy a psychological burden on him and to travel lightly may be more beneficial to his future growth.
"Have you played any official games in the past year or so? Do you have anything interesting happening?"
After getting down to business, Sun Dahai and Yang Xufei entered chatting mode.
In the previous life, Chinese football was full of shady affairs. It seemed to be prosperous, but it was strong on the outside and poor on the inside. The performance of the national teams at all levels was like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and it was worse than the previous year.
As an outsider, Sun Dahai could only beat his hands and feet and be angry with him, but he didn't know why he was so corrupt. Now that he had nothing to do, he started chatting with Yang Xufei.
But it's a pity that Yang Xufei can't be considered a real insider now. For more than a year, he has only been undergoing boring training and has not played even a formal game, which cannot satisfy Sun Dahai's desire for gossip.
"By the way, I heard that many athletes have changed their age. Are there any in your team?" Sun Dahai suddenly asked about the age change.
There are two big bad habits in the Chinese sports world, namely changing the age and making trouble with Chek. If we don’t talk about other sports, let’s just talk about football. You really don’t know if you don’t check it. If you check it, you will be shocked.
There have been many talents, rookies, and stars of hope in the football world, giving fans unlimited hope. As a result, each of them used their own performance as an adult to verify the saying "it may not be good to be young when you are young."
From being outstanding as a teenager, to being ignored by everyone after entering the adult team, to being bald and fat at the golden age of 27 or 8, his competitive status declined rapidly, and finally he retired sadly in his thirties.
Such a development trajectory of high growth and low growth has almost become a symbol of those talented new stars. It makes people sigh and think deeply, what is going on?
A few years later, Sun Dahai saw a report published by a famous football reporter in a professional football newspaper in the south.
The report demonstrated from various aspects such as racial differences, professional ethics, dietary structure, social status, etc., that Chinese people have disadvantages in playing football, including the statement that it is difficult to maintain economic status after passing their physical peak.
Back then, Sun Dahai was still an immature young man, but he actually believed it. It wasn’t until the anti-corruption and anti-gambling campaigns in football, and the anti-gang and anti-counterfeiting campaign, that all kinds of abuses were made public, that Sun Dahai knew that he had been raped.
Deceived.
It turns out that this problem is too simple, just modify the age. Use the big one to fight the small one, rely on the body, technology, and consciousness to defeat the opponent in all aspects. This is so simple and economical.
Take for example the more common practice of changing the age to four years younger. The World Youth Championship is a competition for players under the age of 17. If a 21-year-old plays against a 17-year-old, the advantage will be obvious.
When it comes to the Olympic football matches, the requirement is for players to be under 23 years old. If a 27-year-old faces a 23-year-old, the gap will be narrowed, but there will be no advantage.
When it comes to the World Cup, there is no longer an age limit, it is all a comparison of true strength. Most of the main players of the participating teams are between the ages of 25 and 30.
How can an athlete over 30 who has cheated to compete with others? Therefore, the performance of the national team in each age group becomes worse as it goes up.
As for Cheek being troubled, he needs... medicine. The topic has strayed, so I won’t say more here.
…
"The phenomenon of changing the age is still very common in the sports circle. As long as there is an age limit, that sport will have such problems, and the same is true for football. It's just that our team has just been established, so we haven't reached that level yet."
Yang Xufei's family background is very important, so he really knows some things.
"The main purpose of changing the age of football players is the World Youth Championship and the Olympic Games, two competitions with age restrictions. Therefore, players must at least be able to meet the level of the national team (U17 and U23) before they change their age to prepare for competition."
Yang Xufei's meaning is obvious. Their team has not been established for a long time and is still in the basic training stage of physical fitness, technical skills and tactics. No one pays attention to them, and there is generally no phenomenon of changing their age.
