Chapter 1718 Overseas Affairs Department

"In the just-concluded first-round group stage of the Champions League and the first-round group stage of the Europa League, almost all members of the Chinese Overseas Legion appeared on the stage and performed very well. Let's not talk about the much-anticipated Champions League, but let's talk about the Europa League. Union Cup. There are two Chinese players participating in the UEFA Europa League this season, namely Zhang Qinghuan in Sarri and Zhou Zijing in Leeds City. The teams of these two are in the first round of the UEFA Europa League group stage won the game.

"As the core midfielder of Saria, Zhang Qinghuan naturally started the game and played the whole game. He contributed an assist in the game, and his post-match score was as high as 7.5, ranking third in the Saria team... and Zhou Zi After also starting the game in the game, playing the whole game, and scoring goals...

"So for Chinese football, the European match day that just passed was almost a bumper harvest. But why do you say 'almost'? Because not all overseas players can participate in the European war. Lin, who played for Westin Athletic Zhiyuan and Wang Guangwei, who played in Eldrea, were unable to participate in the European competition because of the strength of the team.

"Of course, we also have a player whose team is in the Champions League, but who himself is not. Claude Ranger is in Group F of the Champions League against Elite Rotterdam, Sporting Manchester and Red Flag Moscow. .In the first round of the group stage, they lost 0:3 away to Athletic Manchester. The Chinese player Ou Yangjin who played for Claude Ranger did not even appear on the bench because he was not registered by the club for the Champions League In the list of twenty-five people..."

"Oh yeah!"

Ou Yangjin, who was eating breakfast, suddenly cheered when he heard this, and shook his fist vigorously.

This startled Tao Hongjun who was sitting opposite him: "What are you doing?"

"My name is finally mentioned, Brother Jun." Ou Yangjin said.

Although Tao Hongjun has been with Ou Yangjin for three months, he still hasn't fully gotten used to his character. He couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "They said that you don't even have the qualifications to participate in the Champions League."

Ou Yangjin was still smiling: "That's not bad, at least my name is finally included in this kind of news. Before, my name couldn't appear in overseas news."

Hearing Ou Yangjin say this, Tao Hongjun himself was amused: "Your mentality is pretty good!"

"That's right, there's so much pressure in this line of work, it's over if you don't have a good mentality." Ou Yangjin was very proud. "Besides, isn't there another registration for the Champions League? Maybe I will be registered for the Champions League in the second half of the season?"

Tao Hongjun grinned: "Then you have to hope that Claude Ranger can reach the knockout round of the Champions League."

As the weakest team in this group, the Claude Rangers don't even make it to the Champions League knockout round. They may not even make it to the Europa League knockout round in the second half of the season-that is to say, they can only be at the bottom of the group.

"It doesn't matter if you can't score, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Seeing that Ou Yangjin's statement didn't seem to be pretending, Tao Hongjun also said with emotion: "You boy is really... big-hearted!"

"It's all here, Brother Jun."

Tao Hongjun was amused: "That's right. If you come, you will be at ease. It's right not to think about other things. You should concentrate on training and strive to be able to play games in the team as soon as possible. As for me, I will take care of your daily life. We all Concentrate on your own business."

Tao Hongjun is not Ouyangjin's agent. Ouyangjin's agent has many players under him. How could he stay in Glasgow for one-on-one service?

As more and more Chinese players study abroad, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more problems for Chinese players to go abroad to study abroad.

It is increasingly difficult to meet the growing demand for overseas study by always relying on the players to personally solve their own living problems in foreign countries, or to let their agents act as nannies.

The China Football Association is the leading department of Chinese football. Inspired by Song Jiajia's Champion Legend Sports Agency Co., Ltd.'s model of operating players to study abroad, the "Overseas Affairs Department" was established.

This department has only one mission, which is to serve those Chinese registered players who have gone abroad to study abroad.

Players like Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, and Zhang Qinghuan who belong to the Champion Legend Sports Agency Co., Ltd. do not need the help of the Football Association, but there are many players who are not so famous and will not be invested with too many resources. They go abroad to play football. It is also necessary to find a way to adapt to the local life and to overcome the language barrier.

Perhaps the problems they encountered on the court were not as big as they encountered in life.

These people are not as famous as Hu Lai and the others, so they don't get as much attention, and it may be more difficult to adapt.

In the past, Chinese players studying abroad solved all their problems by themselves.

For example, when Qin Lin went abroad to Frankfurt White Deer, he basically relied on himself.

But this requires extremely high personal qualities of players. If Qin Lin is not a very professional person with firm goals and spiritual qualities, it may be difficult to persevere in a strange country.

In addition, he found his current wife in Frankfurt, which also helped him a lot.

Obviously, it is unrealistic to require all Chinese players who study abroad to have Qin Lin's spiritual attributes and "backing".

The "N-to-one" service plan formulated by Champion Legend Sports Co., Ltd. for each contracted player to study abroad has helped the players adapt to the new environment very well.

For example, Wang Guangwei in Italy has a dedicated team to serve him and help him solve all aspects of daily life so that he can concentrate on training and competition.

After such a thing was disclosed by the media, some domestic fans criticized this as treating the players as flowers in a greenhouse. They are all adults, not kindergarten children. This is completely stifling the independent ability of Chinese players.

Song Jiajia defended his company’s approach in an interview. He believes that every Chinese player who has just gone abroad is indeed a child in kindergarten:

“…we don’t set up kindergarten to kill children’s independence. Quite the contrary, but to teach them to be independent—how many people learn the most basic skills in kindergarten? Is kindergarten hindering children’s growth? No Yes, because children will grow up, they will always leave kindergarten to go to elementary school, middle school and university, and finally enter the society. The purpose of "Legend of Champions" is to help players go through the most difficult stage of adaptation, until they fully adapt After this environment, our team will withdraw from the lives of the players without disturbing their lives, and there will be no invasion of privacy...”

Facts have also proved that the approach of Champion Legend Sports Agency Co., Ltd. is effective-the current outstanding players in Europe are almost all under the banner of Champion Legend.

Their performance is so good, in addition to their own efforts, it must be inseparable from the logistical support of Champion Legend.

The Chinese Football Association, which has undergone continuous and deepening reforms, is no longer the bureaucratic organization it used to be.

They have transformed into a service-oriented organization that truly serves Chinese football.

So they also specially sent people to Champion Legend Company to investigate and learn from the other party's experience in serving players.

The "Department of Overseas Affairs" is the result of investigation and study.

The Overseas Affairs Department is equipped with a large number of service personnel, who are dedicated to serving the life of players studying abroad.

Any player who has studied abroad, no matter which country he goes to play, can apply for this service of the Football Association, and the service period lasts for one year.

The service period is completely free.

This part of the funds is in charge of the Chinese Football Association, and the money comes from the operation share of the Chinese Super League.

For this reason, the Chinese Football Association has recruited many people with rich living experience abroad to join this special affairs department.

Tao Hongjun applied for the job.

He was engaged in foreign trade before, because he loves football and is moved by the growing momentum of Chinese football in recent years, hoping to contribute to Chinese football.

So he simply quit his previous job and came to apply for the staff of the "Overseas Affairs Department" of the Chinese Football Association.

He has rich experience in living and working in Europe, especially in English-speaking countries, which just meets the recruitment requirements of the Football Association.

As soon as he applied for the job, he was assigned by the Football Association to Ou Yangjin who was studying abroad in the Scottish Premier League.

Together with Ou Yangjin, he "studied abroad" Claude Ranger, helping Ou Yangjin solve the problems of renting a house, eating, and language.

It's just that under his careful care, it was still difficult for Ou Yangjin to be selected for the Claude Ranger's competition list.

This made Tao Hongjun somewhat frustrated.

Because it makes him feel like he's not doing a good job.

He was not a fan of Ou Yangjin before, but after serving Ou Yangjin, he and the other party have become one with each other.

There is quite a feeling of "one prosperity, one loss, all loss".

Ou Yangjin can be regarded as the first battle after the establishment of the "Overseas Affairs Department" by the Chinese Football Association. Among the influential overseas players, except for the players signed by Champion Legend Sports Agency Co., Ltd., only Ou Yangjin is currently enjoying the services of the Overseas Affairs Department. — Lin Zhiyuan had lived in Germany before, and he did not need the Overseas Affairs Department to help him with all life problems in Germany when he returned to Westin Athletic. Qin Qi was accompanied by his mother and did not need the Overseas Affairs Department.

So Ou Yangjin is the "model project" of the Overseas Affairs Department~lightnovelpub.net~ Everyone hopes that this battle will usher in a good start.

But looking at it now, it's hard to say that Ou Yangjin has made any valuable progress in Cloud Ranger.

Next year is the World Cup, and Ou Yangjin doesn't have much time left.

The Chinese team is still relatively weak in the position of defensive midfielder. Tao Hongjun naturally hopes that Ou Yangjin can quickly play in the team, and then feed back what he has learned to the national team.

But he never showed his anxiety in front of Ou Yangjin. He didn't want his emotions to affect Ou Yangjin.

As Ou Yangjin's "nanny", he hopes that through his own efforts, Ou Yangjin can focus all his attention on football itself.

It's also part of his job not to convey his emotions to Ou Yangjin.

Or rather, the "work ethic" of his profession.
