Chapter 19 Messi from China, Japan and South Korea

When death is inevitable, the meaning of death becomes a difficult choice.
Faced with a 0:3 deficit, South Korea head coach Paul Bento made personnel adjustments after the halftime break, showing his pursuit of a decent death. However, only one person was replaced, which also showed that the need for decentness was just too early.
Be mentally prepared and cautious.
Lee Seung-woo, the youngest member of the team who just turned 21 on the opening day of the Asian Cup, replaced Hwang Hee-chan who disappeared after missing a great scoring opportunity at the start.
Lee Seung-woo is very famous in South Korea and was selected for last year's World Cup and Asian Games squads. However, he was the last passenger on the last train when Na Sang-ho, Bento's favorite, was injured in training when he came to the United Arab Emirates and was replaced.
Lee Seung-woo is called the ‘Korean Messi’.
Among today's top players, 'xx Messi' has always been the most marketable because of his most recognizable figure and distinctive features.
About eight or nine years ago, the media of China, Japan and South Korea all promoted their own country's "Messi", but South Korea and Japan were "real Messi", and the Chinese media was "Qiang Mei" who forcibly added drama.
In 2010, South Korea's U12 national youth participated in an international competition called the "Danone Cup". During the competition, the Korean youth performed outstandingly and won the runner-up. Many players aroused the amazement of the on-site scouts.
Soon after, three Korean children, 12-year-old Lee Seung-woo, 13-year-old Baek Seung-ho, and 12-year-old Jang Jae-hee, were packaged by Barcelona and recruited to La Masia. At that time, it was not just South Korea and Asia that caused a sensation.
Zhuoyang, who was still in Barcelona at that time, often saw the "three heroes of Korea" and was so envious that he wanted to find a place where no one was around and strangle them to death.
All three were good, but 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 La Masia's U13 age group. As a result, he stood out among the three and won the award.
earned the title of 'Korean Messi'.
And the old goal record maker before La Masia U13 was none other than the boss himself.
Zhuoyang also met the 'Japanese Messi' Takeshi Kubo in Barcelona, ​​who was also a child that he wanted to strangle to death and then hurry up.
Kubo Kenying is 3 years younger than Lee Seung-woo. He stood out from 300 children in the training camp opened by Barcelona in Yokohama, Japan. At that time, Kubo Kenying had been signed by the Yokohama Marinos in the draft, but he could not resist the invitation of Barcelona and broke the contract.
Arrive at La Masia.
Subsequently, Takehide Kubo won third place in the European U9 Champions League on behalf of Barcelona and was elected as the MVP of the tournament. He became very popular for a while.
Speaking of which, countries all over the world have launched their own 'Messi's, but only 'Han Meimei' Lee Seung-woo and 'Nishisi' Kubo Takehide who play for La Masia are the most authentic.
Compared with the two of them, the 'Chinese Messi' at that time was just a joke.
At that time, the spring buds of football had not yet emerged, Liu Langdong was still a kidnapped child in the mountains, Mei Zixi's happiest thing was holding hands with her classmates after school, and Li Zimo slept in 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 he is also 21 years old this year. He is very talented, and he was able to enter the Shandong U15 echelon at the age of 13, but frankly speaking, he was not the most dazzling domestic player of the same age at that time.
Xu Xu's ability to become the 'Chinese Messi' is related to his experience. In the spring of the year when he was 14 and a half years old, Xu's father took Xu Xu to leave China and went to Barcelona to start a trial training experience. He has been reluctant to give up for two years.
During this period, he just played sporadic football in several amateur teams in Barcelona to maintain his condition.
Two years of persistence shows at least two things, persistence and money.
Although Xu’s father firmly believed that all Barcelona U15 and even U17 players were not as good as his son, he persisted until 2015 and finally only waited for the signing of Barcelona’s local team Espanyol.
The signing was signed, but after two seasons, not to mention the first team of Parrots, even the second team of Espanyol in Segunda B (equivalent to Serie C), Xu Xu had only been a substitute for less than 5 games in total.
Opportunity. The technology is acceptable, but the confrontation ability is too poor.
Frankly speaking, Xu Xu's past four years were almost wasted.
In 2017, Xu Xu was terminated by Espanyol and then returned to China. After a series of trials, he joined Shaanxi Changan Athletic in the Chinese 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 fringe substitute on the bench.
Li Zimo, Liu Langdong and many other real geniuses from Hope Chunlei have already emerged. The title of "Chinese Messi" was also tied to Li Zimo a few years ago, although he himself was not very willing.
There are too many stories of injuries to Zhongyong in football, but Xu Xu is no exception.
Although Li Shengyou and Kubo Jianying did not reach the heights expected by the Koreans and Japanese many years ago, they finally developed normally, and it is not about fate. They had at least some bad luck.
Barcelona was a bit crazy in those years. The search and recruitment of Li Shengyou and Kubo Jianying was just the beginning. In the following years, Barcelona recruited more than a dozen big boys from all over the world to enter La Masia. Laporta did it, Rosell and Bartomeu
Crow is done.
FIFA and UEFA have extremely strict regulations on clubs signing players under 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 clubs from laundering money.
Barcelona knows better than anyone else, but the means and methods they use to sign these idiots cannot stand up to the investigation. The so-called madman is beaten with a brick. In 2014, under the promotion of Real Madrid’s third vice-president Jimenez, the FIFA Player Status Committee began to investigate
An investigation into this series of signings by Barcelona.
Subsequently, Barcelona was banned from buying and transferring for two years, including the first team and the echelon. More than a dozen young players, including Lee Seung-woo, Kubo Kenying and the "three outstanding players of South Korea", were also declared to have violated the rules by joining La Masia, and all contracts were invalid.
, he is not allowed to sign with Barcelona or play football in Europe before reaching the age of 18, which is actually equivalent to being banned from Europe.
Xu Xu also gave up the trial training under this background, otherwise he would have persisted. This thing is like rushing to the street and insisting on writing online articles. Riding a tiger is difficult to do, so if you persist, at least it will be heard well. Barcelona yo~,

Takehide Kubo turned around and returned to Japan to join Tokyo FC, waiting to renew his relationship with Barcelona when he turns 18 this summer. But I don’t know if Barcelona, ​​which already has Liu Langdong, will sign him.
Lee Seung-woo and the "Three Elites of Korea" chose to stay behind, not playing games but able to continue training with the team. After all, they were older at the time, and they were only half a year and a year away from turning 18.
But it’s not human behavior to have no serious games to play in the years when goals should be increased most. 18-year-old Lee Seung-woo was re-signed by Barcelona, ​​but a year later he moved to Verona in Serie A. This season he is with the team
Demoted to Serie B.
The 22-year-old Baek Seung-ho is currently playing in La Liga's newly promoted Girona Second Division, which belongs to the same city group and is called the 'Manchester City Second Team', but he is still a fringe member of the Korean football team.
The worst thing is that Zhang Jiexi, known as 'Korea Iniesta', was terminated after sitting on the bench for a whole year in Greece last season. The 22-year-old is now in Pyeongtaek FC of Korea C3 (K3), and he is still
He's on the bench. I heard he wants to retire.
The reason why Li Zimo, instead of Liu Langdong and Mei Zixi, was named the "Chinese Messi" is because he was the first among this group of children to stand out. After dominating the U16 team at Madiba, the Chinese media couldn't wait to graft him onto the title.
Of course, being short is also a very important factor. Now he is only 171cm tall, while Liu Langdong has grown to 182cm tall.
Li Zimo doesn't want the title of 'Chinese Messi' at all. Their family and the Zhuo family used to live in the same village. His father, the village chief Ke Zi, was golf friends with Zhuo Yang in his early years, and now he also serves as the manager of the Hope Town Sports and Music Park.
The chairman of the committee is so familiar with Zhuo Yang that his dog-skin socks have not been straightened.
Li Zimo is the child Zhuo Yang watched grow up, and he called Zhuo Yang his uncle since he was a child. This naughty boy has been very crazy since he was a child. He belongs to - I am Uncle Zhuo's nephew. Who the hell are you calling me 'Messi'?
?
But the media will not reason with a little kid. As Liu Langdong's talent exploded, Li Zimo and he became the twin stars of love and rivalry. In order to shirk the title, Li Zimo even begged Liu Langdong to take the title of "Chinese Messi"
The famous leader leads away.
Although Liu Langdong is not crazy, he still has a deep relationship with Zhuo Yang. After being found by his biological parents, his football path was started by Zhuo Yang himself. Zhuo Ge is the god in his heart, so what does Messi mean?
When Mei Zixi, who looked similar in appearance and had a similar name, broke out, the title of "Chinese Messi" had been firmly attached to Li Zimo and could not be shaken off. Mei Zixi became the "Little Messi".
It was precisely because of his dissatisfaction with the "Chinese Messi" that during the 2016 carve-up, Li Zimo angrily rejected Barcelona and chose Real Madrid.
Under the close attention of Zhuo Yang and the rigorous operation of the eldest sister Tou Zhuo Qiu, signing contracts with Barcelona and European teams has been the most formal procedure for Chinese children in recent years. The siblings are determined not to let the Chinese children suffer the losses of Han Meimei and Rixixi.
.
Under the strong contrast of the Chinese young player, the Korean media is actually quite disappointed with Lee Seung-woo. Although he wore the Korean Football Team 10 jersey in the World Cup last year and came on as a substitute twice, South Korea already has the name "Han Meimei"
The trend is transferred to Lee Kang-in, 18 years old, who plays for the second team Valencia B in Segunda División.
