Chapter 241 Star of Hope
Lin Yuan stood on a court at the Mahada Onda training base and looked around.
The sky is as blue as it is, and there are only white clouds at the low point of the sky in the distance. Looking into the distance, you can clearly see the mountains and horizons in the north.
Madrid is the capital of Spain, but it is completely different from Lin Yuan’s previous imagination. He thought it would be a bustling metropolis with tall buildings. But after coming here, he found that there were very few high-rise buildings here. He stood a little higher, so he could see through the entire city.
The air visibility is very high.
He took a deep breath.
This is the air that coach high is breathing!
Lin Yuan is now wearing Atletico Madrid jacket. The jacket is a little big and does not fit very well, but there is no way. Atletico Madrid club does not have clothes tailor-made specifically for him.
Beside Lin Yuan, there were twenty-nine Chinese teenagers like him, wearing fit or not-fitting Atletico Madrid jackets, looking around on the training ground curiously and chatting.
The ones here are all very novel about these football boys from China, which are thousands of miles away.
They are one of the sponsors of Atletico Madrid Club and the fourth batch of selected players in the "Chinese Football Hope Star" program sponsored by well-known Chinese companies.
In the eyes of domestic fans, they have the hope of the future of Chinese football, and the name of this plan is not wrong.
For these young players themselves, they are more of the joy of dreams coming true, and they still cannot feel the high expectations of domestic fans for them.
Being able to have the opportunity to study, receive training, and even become a professional player is the highest ideal in the hearts of every football boy standing here.
Lin Yuan won the national selection this summer and finally qualified to come to Atletico Madrid for training.
However, before participating in the national selection, his parents had doubts about whether to let their son take the football path. After all, this means that Lin Yuan will interrupt his current cultural courses and bet on the football path.
Is this something worth doing? Lin Yuan’s parents are not sure.
At this time, Lin Yuan's sister tried her best to help her younger brother and persuaded her parents that since her younger brother is so talented, she should let him try it. If she fails, she will make her younger brother lose her heart.
So with the strong support of my sister, my parents finally nodded and agreed.
Only then did Lin Yuan have the opportunity to participate in the national selection.
As a result, in the selection, he passed the hurdles and finally became one of the twenty-five people who could study abroad in Spain.
In this way, he came to Spain.
He followed the footsteps of coach Gao and followed Madrid, Spain.
In fact, this hope star project is not only carried out at Atletico Madrid, but also someone will go to Valencia and Villarreal.
But coming to Atletico Madrid is the goal of most Chinese football teenagers, because there is Gao Zheng here.
Every football boy regards Gao Zheng as their idol.
According to the plan, these teenagers will first conduct three-year training at Atletico Madrid, and implement an elimination mechanism in the last year. Nine out of thirty people will be eliminated, and then three people will be eliminated every year until another three years ends. After a total of six years, these teenagers will basically become adults. Then we will see if they have the ability to stay in Atletico Madrid B team or higher-level first team.

After looking around, Lin Yuan turned his eyes to a group of people on the other side of the stadium. He looked like they were their peers, wearing Atletico Madrid jackets, gathered together and looked at him.
I heard that there are the players from Atletico Madrid echelon there.
Many Chinese football boys were very envious of this. They had just come here and had not started training yet, but they were already a team player, and they felt that the other party had already gotten into the car.
But Lin Yuan found a boy with black hair and yellow skin among the group of people, with an oriental hole.
Not only him, but other partners also discovered each other.
They gathered together and talked curiously: "Will that person be among the group of people we came to Atletico Madrid before?"
"It doesn't look like we are. If we had been in the previous few batches, they would have been older than us, and they would have been in the team of this age group for a long time..."
"Is it the Chinese that already existed in Atletico Madrid's echelon?"
"Maybe it's not Chinese, but Japanese or Korean?"
"Hey, isn't this that person?!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Who?"
"It's the caddies who entered the game with Gao Zheng in the Madrid derby last season! The two of them were still chatting!"
As soon as this person said this, everyone remembered that because this caddie was really unique, everyone was deeply impressed.
From this point of view, it is reasonable for him to be a caddy. Atletico Madrid's home court must be a member of the Atletico Madrid echelon.

While Lin Yuan and the others were looking at Dong Jin, Dong Jin was also looking at Lin Yuan and the others.
He still saw so many Chinese peers wearing Atletico Madrid jackets all at once.
They looked similar to themselves, both had black hair and yellow skin, and the discussion was blown away by the wind. Some words were actually understood in Dong Jin's ears.
He heard that Atletico Madrid has always helped China train young players, but this is the first time he has seen it.
He felt a little intimate.
He was wondering whether to say hello to them later. He was also a little excited when he saw so many Chinese peers for the first time.
※※※
Whether it was Lin Yuan or Dong Jin, they gathered on the training ground, not to start training, but to wait for someone.
Gao Zheng changed his clothes and did not go to the first team training ground before the first team training began, but instead went to the youth team's training ground under the leadership of the staff.
He has a special task today to meet new youth training players from Atletico Madrid, interact with them, and cheer them up. At the same time, this can also be regarded as a reward for those young players who join the Atletico Madrid echelon.
After all, as the leading star of Atletico Madrid, he is also an idol in the minds of those children.
Being able to get close to idols can also improve the morale and fighting spirit of these young players, which will help them train well in the Atletico Madrid echelon.
