Chapter 21 Japan, Cup of Hope
A month later, Yokohama International Stadium, Japan.

The sky was clear and the air was filled with the smell of sea breeze.

"Kuolijiwa——Hello Coach Jimenez Zak! I am the head coach of the youth training of Yokohama Mariners Football Club——Steel Rikawa! You can call me Rikawa! Welcome to La Masia and everyone Young talents from the youth training camp came to Yokohama to participate in this [Nike Hope Cup]!"

As soon as he got off the bus, Chen Mo was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw a large group of Japanese in black suits standing in a row by the side of the road, bowing slightly. It looked like a gang gathering, and many passers-by looked sideways.

However, although they don't look like good people, the attitude of these men in black is very enthusiastic, and even a fierce uncle with a scar on his face smiled at Chen Mo.

Very kind.

Chen Mo quickly looked away, tightened his backpack, and at the same time quietly asked Pique: "We are just a group of little-known players, should the welcome ceremony be so grand?"

"A young player with no reputation? Do you think La Masia is too simple, we are a world-class youth academy!"

Pique, who was stretching his head and looking around at the Japanese girls on both sides of the street, lowered his head and said: "I heard from my grandfather that Japan attaches great importance to the cultivation of young players. They have started formal football training in physical education classes since elementary school. At the same time It also stipulates that all J-Leagues, that is, their country's top leagues, all football clubs must have three echelons of U12, U15, and U18."

Cesc Fabregas interjected: "My father said that although Japanese football started late, they are very serious and have a correct attitude. They may be the strongest football in Asia in the future. Oh, by the way, have you seen their cartoon? ? Captain Tsubasa, not bad."

Chen Mo said with a smile: "Nonsense, who hasn't watched Captain Tsubasa, but I prefer to watch Slam Dunk. I really like Sakuragi Flower Road."

Fabregas joked: "Don't look at Slam Dunk, you can't be a basketball player at your height, hahaha."

"Hahaha, please, Xiaofa, you don't seem to be tall."

"Oh, Peek, I want to rip your mouth out!"

A group of little guys talked and laughed, and walked into the luxury hotel under the leadership of Steel Plate Richuan.

As soon as he entered the revolving door, Chen Mo felt a lot of staring eyes. Looking up, he saw that the hotel lobby was full of children of their age. Next to their respective areas stood a trilingual English-Japanese-Spanish signage.

Real Madrid youth training, Manchester United youth training, Bayern Munich, Ajax.
Chen Mo asked curiously: "There are so many powerful youth training teams, did the Yokohama Mariners spend their money this time?"

Pique smiled and said: "You think too much, even if the Yokohama Mariners spend a lot of money, they can't hire so many youth players from clubs. They just provide the venue and food and lodging. This is an opportunity that has paid a lot of money. The ability to gather so many youth players is mainly due to the ability of Nike. I heard from my grandfather that Nike wants to seize the football market of Adidas, but it is impossible for the first team to participate in this kind of competition, so they focus on the youth players. I don’t fully understand what it is, anyway, this Hope Cup is quite valued by the outside world. By the way, this time they also invited Ronaldo to be the guest judge of the final.”

"Ronaldo?!!! The best player in the last World Cup?"

"Yes, he strained his thigh in the UEFA Cup some time ago, and now he is recovering from his injury, so he was hired as a commentator, but it was only limited to the final."

One stone stirred up waves, not only Chen Mo was shocked, but all the young players were talking about it. At this moment, another group of young players walked in at the door. Chen Mo glanced at it and didn't intend to pay attention, but the leader told him to return instantly. Head over!

"Coach Wang?"

Chen Mo was dumbfounded, only to see that the coach with a big belly in the forefront of the team of Long Guo junior players was the coach Wang who asked him to play match-fixing before!

"Shanzhou Longxing Team"

"This guy went to a professional football team as a youth academy coach?!"

Chen Mo was shocked at first, and then quickly calmed down, but his micro-expression was still captured by Messi: "Do you know that person?"

Chen Mo pursed his mouth: "Well, I came to Europe for trial training because of this guy. He asked me to play match-fixing, but I didn't. As a result, I was expelled from the school team."

"Fix the ball?!"

Not only Messi, but also Pique and others were taken aback. Chen Mo shrugged: "Anyway, I want me to deliberately miss a penalty kick."

"Missing a penalty on purpose?! Oh, this man is too disgusting, let me teach him a lesson!" Pique was about to get angry on the spot, and Chen Mo stopped him: "No need, there is no point in arguing with him, anyway, this game There is a high probability that it will be reported in Longguo. As long as I can perform well, someone will naturally trouble him. What's more, without him, I will not go to Europe for trial training, and I have no chance to meet you. I should Thank him for that."

"You guys are surprisingly optimistic! Huh—I understand, don't worry, we will help you when the time comes!" Pique and the others were filled with righteous indignation, and Chen Mo laughed: "Hahaha, thank you then, give me more when the time comes I pass the ball."

While a few people were chatting, the host, Mr. Steel Plate Rikawa, had already brought a group of young Japanese players to the front desk. He took the microphone and said very politely: "First of all, it is a great honor for our Yokohama Mariners Club to host this [Nike Hope Cup] ], I am also very grateful to all the young players and the coaching team for coming, thank you very much! Ali Gaduo hooked up with Yi Masi!!!”

With applause, Gang Gang Richuan continued: "Although the coaches should have obtained the schedule before, but in order to make everyone clearer, I will reiterate here. The [Nike Hope Cup] held by the Nike Group this time has a total of Eight teams came, namely Real Madrid Youth Training, Manchester United Youth Training, Bayern Munich Youth Training, Ajax Youth Training, Lyon Youth Training, Barcelona Youth Training, Shanzhou Longxing Youth Training and our Japanese J-League United Youth Team.

Each team will play a game with the other seven teams, and the two teams with the highest points will play in the final to determine the title of the [Nike Hope Cup].The game is played twice a day, one game in the morning and one game in the afternoon. The game venue will be held at the Yokohama International Stadium on the right side of our hotel. The game is expected to be completed within a month.In addition, in order to welcome young players from all over the world, in the next month, the daily consumption of the children in Tokyo, whether it is park tickets or gourmet meals, will be paid by our J-League!Please feel our enthusiasm for Japan, and at the same time, please be sure to give full play on the pitch, let us feel the distance between Japanese football and the world's top! "

After finishing speaking, Gangban Richuan bowed fiercely with a group of young Japanese players.
