Chapter 264 Only Profit Can be Promoted(2/2)
Charlie seemed even more excited than Li Lijun, but Li Mo and Li Lijun looked at each other and did not take over Charlie's words.
The countries in China are different from Africa and South America. In Africa or South America, a youth training base can select materials in an area with a population of more than 10 million, which may be able to discover a lot of football geniuses.
But in China, it is not just about young players who are talented to bring the other party to the path of professional football. It is very difficult to convince their parents, their schools and teachers, and even themselves.
We cannot simply summarize the difficulties in the sentence "I have my own national conditions here". Before, Li Lijun ran in China for so long, and while forming a team, he collected the promotion difficulties encountered by industry insiders in various provinces.
Li Mo is not that great and tries to change the current situation of Chinese football with his own strength, but he can find a channel to transport talents to the outside world within his ability.
Yes, even if he wanted to build a youth training base in his hometown in China, he had no intention of doing this in China from the beginning.
If the foundation is crooked, no matter how many buildings are built on it, it will be crooked.
Li Mo could only place professional training abroad, and looking around, the most suitable ones among the five major leagues are Ligue 1 and Bundesliga.
The first thing that the Premier League has ruled out is that the restrictions on labor permits have blocked the login of many Asian players. The restrictions on foreign players in La Liga and Serie A are relatively strict, the Ligue 1 is relatively loose, and the Bundesliga is the most relaxed.
So while building a youth training base in China, Li Mo also asked his uncle to help him find professional German and French teachers in China, and excellent fresh graduates from colleges and universities are fine. In short, the more you have, the better.
"The details of the cooperation with the hometown government have been finalized. If you put the youth training base in Fucheng, it can be regarded as promoting your hometown. If the location is not in the urban area, then everything is easy to say, but the cooperation channels with primary and secondary schools in various places are established slowly. You must be mentally prepared for this, but as long as you have the first batch of students, I believe everything will get better slowly."
Li Lijun took out the contract and information from the file bag on the sofa and asked Li Mo to take a look at it slowly.
He was very tired during this period. It took him more than two months to go to the entire city's primary and secondary schools, one school after another, and some schools agreed readily, but there were very few such schools, and most of them were waiting and watching.
After all, Li Mo is now at the limelight in China. When he is doing youth training, the elders of his hometown still give him such face.
However, once things are related to students, it is not just the school that has the final say. In the future, we must also communicate with parents, and we must also vigorously promote and find someone to give speeches. We must first solve the parents' worries.
Li Mo had already planned for this.
After all, it is a problem of conflict in academic training.
To solve this problem, we can learn from the youth training ideas of European football powers, but we cannot copy them.
Because in Europe, primary and secondary school students have a lot of spare time, so when they complete their learning tasks, they still have plenty of time for them to play football and go to the nearby club echelon to train.
The education system in China is different. To promote it, localization must be improved first.
Li Mo still plans to start with the interests first, starting from primary and junior high schools, and then focusing on this interest.
Those who are willing to learn about football and want to play football can participate in the interest group formed by their youth training base in the school.
It has no utilitarianism and can participate as long as you sign up. It is divided into different groups according to age. After completing the school and study tasks, you can use the evening and weekends to learn to play football in a small venue built nearby or on the school’s football field.
Every week, we organize several nearby schools that cooperate with youth training bases. We play in each group without playing big games, mainly five-a-side and seven-a-side, focusing on cultivating children's interests.
The cost of competition clothing, shoes, socks, and balls is provided by the youth training base to minimize the resistance of parents.
Only when the children show their talents in this area during their learning and exposure to football will they truly like football, which will be the target source of students of the youth training base.
These students are like those foreign children who sign up for the club echelon. They can receive semi-professional training from the beginning of entering the youth training base.
However, they still have to complete their usual academic tasks on time. If they have poor grades, the youth training base will also arrange teachers to provide tutoring.
At this stage, students who still focus on cultivating interests will enter the next stage, namely the overseas study stage.
Because the youth training base will offer simple training courses in German and French on weekdays, youth training students who meet the minimum standards will enter the final inspection period.
During the inspection, in addition to the staff of the youth training base who persuaded their parents, they also had tasks themselves.
Not only do they have to meet the standards in football talent, but their learning ability must also meet the standards in order to officially embark on the road to studying abroad.
Because even if they go to Germany or France, they still have to spend a few years of going to school and training. This is equivalent to studying and training abroad. With guaranteed grades, I believe many parents will recognize this youth training method more.
After all, to put it bluntly, if you only practice football, you will be happy if you practice it, but you can’t practice it?
If you can’t practice, the road you can take in Chinese society is too narrow. How can parents dare to hand over their children to the so-called youth training for football?
What Li Mo has to do is to resolve this most fundamental contradiction and let parents know that even if their children fail to take the path of professional football in the end, they can still come back to continue their studies and take the college entrance exam, which will not delay their life path.
Of course, this model is just an ideal state.
Li Mo also experienced the heavy academic pressure of Chinese students back then, but fortunately, when they were in junior high school, the students still had a lot of their spare time.
If children are interested and squeeze in time, they can successfully complete the initial football interest training at the age of seven or eight to eleven or eleven or eleven.
The students who enter the youth training base will have a fulfilling life, but it will also be boring. After all, not all children can endure their lives for football. Almost all of them are in the two modes of learning and training.
When I go to school during the day and go to the youth training base to practice football after school in the afternoon. I rarely play games. Sometimes I can’t keep up with my studies at night. With this alone, many children may give up the path of professional football halfway through.
However, even if most of the children gave up, the small group that they persisted in the end was enough for Li Mo to launch his huge plan.
Because China has a large population, there are enough talented children who are suitable for playing football, and a small number of them can go to Europe for training, which is also a considerable number in terms of the number of people.
Even though Li Mo was just piloting in his hometown, he believed that in the city of his hometown and the surrounding cities, there were definitely many professional players who could come out.
What he has to do is to build such a stable channel that connects Germany and France's youth training systems and their own talents. If it is suitable, parents agree to go out first. At least they have a correct understanding of football.
This is also a successful promotion and popularization.
However, Li Mo did not want to be a good person or philanthropist. When the channel was successfully established, he still had to see whether it could make a profit.
Initial investment is necessary, and it is normal that there is no return for investment for three or four years, but profit is a necessary condition for the final promotion of this model in Sichuan Province.
For all young players who go from youth training bases to European clubs, their brokerage contracts must belong to the brokerage company established by Li Mo and Mendes.
This is undiscussed.
Coach Xu is doing youth training on Chongming Island, so he has to sell one player after another to recover his blood. Li Mo is not a sucker.
Without a profitable career, it is impossible to become bigger or stronger unless there is a financial backer behind it that keeps burning money.
But Li Mo couldn't attract much investment in this matter. If he wanted to continue to do it steadily and finally promote this model, he had to have the premise of making a profit.
Otherwise, no matter how rich he is, he will not be able to pay for the hole himself.
Besides, if the economic contract is not stuck, the seedlings cultivated by the youth training base at that time, let alone the seedlings that have been sent to Europe for further training, they will have to be poached by major domestic clubs waving checks before going abroad.
He is unwilling to do this kind of wedding dress for others.
Speaking of which, the career he plans to do in China is actually similar to the major football brokerage companies in South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe to cooperate with small clubs, constantly transferring local talented players to Europe.
But the difficulties Li Mo has to face are several times more difficult than those brokerage companies, or even dozens of times.
Because he also has to be responsible for the studies of these children and their future, otherwise he will not be able to pass the parents' level.
Whether this model can succeed is still unknown, after all, no one has ever done such a thing in China before.
At present, the most successful youth training in China, Director Xu has not been able to establish a stable external channel. With the current domestic football environment, Director Xu has achieved this goal.
But Li Mo didn't want to go the old path anymore and continued to waste his time in the country.
Otherwise, after he retired, the current group of overseas players will return to their old ways, and even worse.
He wants to blaze a new channel and has no connection with the country.
Perhaps in the end, these young players only played in the second-tier leagues of the five major leagues, but such a foreign legion is enough to support Chinese football to barely maintain a first-class seat in the Asian competition area.
"I didn't know how many agents wanted to establish cooperative relationships with the clubs of your country. You know, Lee, 1.3 billion people! God, your country's population is more than the whole European countries combined! Even if it is a province, for example, your hometown has more population than most European countries, so they all want to develop this huge market. Your idea is definitely at the level of genius. I will apply to the boss to your country in the future."
Charlie started nagging very rarely. When he talked about the Chinese market, his eyes shone. It seemed that his experience of signing several large-scale contracts with Li Mo in China this summer greatly stimulated him.
Li Mo leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes and began to imagine.
In their hometown, children truly realize football. Those who want to take the professional football path do not need to go to sports schools or pay money everywhere. With better channels and more scientific training methods, parents have no worries.
"There will be one day, Charlie, there will be one day."
Today, the overtime work during Double Eleven has finally ended. We have finally had a meal. We try to restore the amount of updates from tomorrow. Part-time writing will inevitably encounter such problems. Brothers, please understand more. Foodies are here to thank you.
