"Welcome to Hoffenheim. I originally wanted to entertain you well, but now we have just entered the season preparation period and we don't have much time."

After Zhang Xian started the game simply, he focused on Zhang Qinglin, who was the first in his left hand.

This gray-haired, wearing a pair of reading glasses and a black coat, is more like an old pedan than a sports practitioner.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Zhang Xian nodded slightly.

Old Zhang also responded with a smile, "Hello, General Manager Zhang, it's really hard to see you. If we hadn't found the German Football Association, we wouldn't have seen you."

There was a little resentment in his words, and Zhang Xian smiled happily and didn't mind.

After all, no matter who it is, it is the case with several meetings that have been rejected.

This time, too. If Michelle hadn't come here in person, Zhang Xian would have probably shirked.

Zhang Xian looked down at the time and said, "Let's talk about the important matter?"

Old Zhang nodded quickly.

Compared to greetings, he also wants to get straight to the topic.

Old Zhang raised his body slightly and said, "We have heard a little about General Manager Zhang's achievements in the reform of German youth training. You have a unique understanding of the future trends of football and the research on football. This is also something we urgently need."

Zhang Qinglin praised Zhang Xian as soon as he came up.

In response, Zhang Xian chuckled secretly. You should know that although Zhang Xian has made considerable contributions in football, many mainstream media are still unwilling to include Zhang Xian in the football field.

The reason is very simple. Zhang Xian is not from any football career, he is more like a manager and operator.

It is okay to say that Zhang is very good at operating now or lead Hoffenheim to make a lot of money, but his contribution in the football field is somewhat difficult to agree with.

Today in Europe, Zhang Xian is still called "football rookie", "football novices" and so on...

"What do you think of the future of Chinese football?"

Zhang Qinglin suddenly changed his voice, and it was as direct as he would be, which made Zhang Xian stunned.

However, Zhang Xian quickly came to his senses and said with a smile, "It's very good..."

The response was light, and he didn't say good or bad.

This ambiguous response made Zhang Qinglin helplessly: "I know what you are thinking. Many people are unwilling to talk about this issue, but it is there."

"We have tried many remedial solutions, but none of them have worked well, and some have even begun to propose the issue of foreign aid naturalization."

Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, foreign aid is naturalized?

This plan is a bit intriguing.

There are pros and cons of foreign aid naturalization.

The advantage is that the strength of the national team can be increased in a short period of time and the corresponding results can be achieved.

The disadvantage is that if the results are not achieved and after a large cost operation, everything will become meaningless, further hitting the enthusiasm of the fans.

Of course, the most important thing is that this policy is likely to drain the survival ability of domestic players.

In Zhang Xian’s opinion, some of the disadvantages outweigh the benefits!

"But this is the suggestion of the previous chairman. The new chairman who is now in office is from a youth training class. He said he wants to plant trees!"

"Planting trees?" Zhang Xian said in surprise.

"That's right!" Zhang Qinglin said seriously. "The problem of Chinese football has never existed in the national team, but in the overall environment, making more people playing football, making the football industry more fulfilling, and making football an industry accepted by the mainstream. This is a very critical thing, and all of this must start with youth training."

"At the Football Association Conference some time ago, we clearly stipulated the youth training plan for the next ten years."

"The first point is to create a national competition to allow more universities to participate in this activity."

Zhang Xian nodded, "Campus Football!"

"The second point is to invest vigorously in youth training, add youth training echelons to perform well, and introduce excellent youth training coaches."

Zhang Xian nodded again, "It is more important than anything else to lay the foundation for an excellent youth training coach."

"The third point is multi-point cooperation. We will learn from the successful history of youth training in European countries and combine our own characteristics to find a football training program that suits our country's national conditions."

Zhang Xian smiled and said, "It's great not to copy blindly."

Zhang Qinglin looked at Zhang Xian and continued, "We are wandering around European countries during this time. We have visited many youth training and communicated with local youth training coaches, but no one told us the real focus!"

It’s a very normal thing, and anyone will hide the real core issue.

And the most important thing is that even if someone takes it out, you may not be able to learn it.

"Chinese football is smearing and moving forward. We don't know what the future will be, but we are still tilting our heads and yearning for the light." Zhang Qinglin stared at Zhang Xian and said, "But we need a direction, a direction where we can see the future."

"We want you, find a direction for us!"

The last sentence stunned everyone at the scene.

The same is true for Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian blinked, "Let me participate in domestic football reform?"

Zhang Qinglin nodded and said, "If possible, I can recommend you to join the Football Association, and you can even take my position in the future."

He grinned and unexpectedly, this development was unexpected.

I thought it was a simple symposium, but who would have thought that these guys came to dig for themselves.

"Traford once wanted to poach me, but he didn't succeed." Zhang Xian refused in a tactful tone.

But Zhang Qinglin insisted, "But we are different, aren't we?"

Zhang Xian waved his hand helplessly and said directly, "I will not join the Football Association and I have no interest. And I can tell you that the reform of China's youth training is too short for ten years."

Zhang Qinglin couldn't help but frowned, "Didn't it take ten years for Germany's youth training reform?"

Zhang Xian said funny: "Can it be the same?"

"Does Germany have infrastructure, too? Germany has laid foundations, which are solid and vast, and can be allowed to be built by others on them, but you can't."

"What you need to do is to lay the foundation, rather than blindly carry out youth training reform."

"It's a boring process, no one knows how long it will last, but someone always needs to do it."

"Based on this foundation, it took Germany ten years to cultivate a group of young players with outstanding abilities. I think you also understand what to do next!"

Zhang Qinglin was silent for a moment and sighed, "In fact, we don't understand very much!"

Zhang Qinglin said truthfully: "In fact, in China, many people have always been confused about youth training. No one knows how to build youth training and how to transform the environment. We need phased plans, but no one can provide this plan. The purpose of our trip is to find a plan within ten years."

Hearing this, Zhang Xian smiled and said, "This is very simple!"
