Chapter 571 The Beginning of an Era

When the Chinese were crazy about the Chinese team winning the Federation Cup championship, the Dutch World Youth Championship also came to an end in Udrecht, Netherlands. Messi led Argentina to defeat the African eagle Nigeria 2:1 in the final, winning the World Youth Championship for the fifth time in history.

If Yin Jun is the leader in the Federation Cup, Messi is the most dazzling star in the World Youth Championship. This Barcelona genius star truly made his mark in the world football world. Not only did he win the World Youth Championship Golden Boot with 6 goals, he also won the World Youth Championship Golden Ball Award. In addition, Argentina won the World Youth Championship Championship, Messi also combined three major awards and was incredible.

Messi like this undoubtedly reminds people of Yin Jun. Interestingly, in the Federation Cup, it was Yin Jun who blocked the Argentine national team from the goal of the final, making Argentina missed the championship honors of the two world competitions in the Federation Cup and the World Youth Championship at the same time.

Although Yin Jun did not score any goals in the match between the Chinese team and Argentina. Argentina was very frustrated and even got out in shame because of his own three own goals, but the Argentine still regarded Yin Jun as the culprit for Argentina's elimination.

It was Yin Jun who was omnipotent on both offense and defense, which caused Argentina's offense to fail. At the same time, he made mistakes on the defensive end and lost three own goals in a row.

Such a shameful exit hit Argentina deeply, and in the third and fourth final against Germany, he once again lost 1:4 and only ranked fourth in the Federation Cup.

During this period, the atmosphere in Argentina was very bad. The Argentina national team was completely regarded as a sinner and was criticized by all Argentina.

Especially goalkeeper Lux, who directly caused three own goals, was once again criticized by Argentina when the stadium was hit hard, and it was like a rat crossing the street.

Lux's yawning behavior during the game also became his biggest original sin: this guy is really sleepwalking, otherwise how could he have such a disaster!

At this time, the Argentines completely forgot how excited they were when Lux made the yawning move.

……………………

Just denying Lux and the Argentine national team is not helpful to Argentina. Fortunately, at this time, the Argentine national youth team led by Messi was very successful and won the fifth World Youth Championship in the team's history, thus becoming the team with the most championships in the history of the World Youth Championship. It boosted the morale of Argentina and also allowed the Argentines to see the dawn of hope.

Major media in Argentina have reported on Argentina's winning of the World Youth Championship.

Argentina's "Ole" said after the game that the Argentine laughed to the end. Although Nigeria performed better from the scene, Argentina won. Messi, who played for Barcelona, ​​scored two penalty kicks in the game, helping Argentina win the championship. Messi also scored six goals in his own personal victory. In the final, Argentina performed quite skillfully. Although the team's offensive was not as good as Nigeria, it created many opportunities to score. This was the fifth time in Argentina's history that he won the World Youth Championship, surpassing Brazil and becoming the country with the most World Youth Championships.

Another major Argentina media, The Horn, said after the game that Messi became Argentina's hero and brought hope to Argentina when Argentina football fell into the darkest moment in history. The Barcelona teenager performed perfectly in this World Youth Championship. Especially in the final, Messi scored twice in the penalty shootout, which was Argentina's biggest hero to win the championship. Messi won the Golden Boot Award with six goals and also won the Golden Ball Award, while Taivo and Micole of Nigeria won the bronze ball and silver ball award respectively. In the final, Argentina performed quite well, at least not giving Nigeria too many good opportunities to score. On the contrary, Argentina seized the opportunity. Nigeria won the runner-up for the second time in the World Youth Championship, while Argentina won the World Youth Championship for the fifth time.

The Chinese are not paying much attention to the situation in Argentina. At this moment, they are excited by the first time in the history of the Chinese team, and the whole country is celebrating.

The Chinese team's victory in the Federation Cup has not only greatly boosted the confidence of all sectors of society in Chinese football, but also enhanced China's international status and image to a certain extent.

For the Football Association, it is a real benefit. It is not only the invisible benefits brought by winning the championship, but also huge economic benefits.

First of all, the huge bonuses brought by winning the championship.

In order to increase the influence of the Federation Cup, the organizers provided very high bonuses to the participating teams. Each participating team, even if it stopped in the group stage, can receive a bonus of 853,000 euros.

If you can advance to the knockout stage, you will get more bonuses. The fourth place prize is 1.42 million euros, the third place prize is 1.7 million euros, and the runner-up prize is 1.94 million euros.

As for the final champion, the prize is as high as 2.275 million euros. According to the current exchange rate of euros to RMB 13.73, this is a huge prize of more than 31 million!

In order to reward the outstanding performance of the national team, the Sports Bureau is also generously rewarded. Not only does the 2.275 million euro bonus need not be paid, but it is also rewarded 20 million to the national team from the originally not-so-enriched funds!

In other words, because the national team won the Federation Cup championship, the Football Association earned more than 50 million! Although some of them were rewarded to the players, coaching staff, and other relevant personnel, the Football Association still had a large amount of funds recorded.

In fact, direct bonuses are nothing. The real big deal is the benefits brought by other channels, such as commercial cooperation and endorsement.

After the Chinese team won the Federation Cup championship, a large number of large companies waving checks to find the Football Association to discuss cooperation. According to estimates from all parties, this will bring hundreds of millions of revenue.

With money, your back becomes hard and you have the confidence to do things.

……………………

While the Chinese team won the championship and the domestic celebration was wildly celebrated, more and more media fans and professionals have called for players to be sent abroad as soon as possible to receive high-level football training.

With the two waves of the Federation Cup and the World Youth Championship, many European clubs have expressed their favor for the players of the Chinese team and the National Youth Team.

It is Germany, the host of the Federation Cup, and the host of the World Youth Championship, the Netherlands, and the Bundesliga and the Eredivisie have multiple clubs sent representatives to China to negotiate the recruitment matters.

Everyone began to believe that this was not just a Federation Cup champion, but also opened up a new situation for Chinese football and ushered in a new era.
