Chapter 571 The Opening of an Era

When the Chinese were crazy because the Chinese team won the Confederations Cup, the Dutch World Youth Championship also came to an end in Utrecht, the Netherlands.Messi led Argentina to win the World Youth Championship for the fifth time in history by beating Nigeria 2-1 in the final.

If Yin Jun dominates in the Confederations Cup, Messi is the most dazzling star in the World Youth Championship.This talented new Barcelona star has truly made his mark in world football.He not only won the World Youth Championship Golden Boot with 6 goals, but also won the World Youth Championship Golden Globe Award. In addition, Argentina won the World Youth Championship.

Such Messi undoubtedly reminds people of Yin Jun.What's interesting is that in the Confederations Cup, it was Yin Jun who blocked the Argentine national team from the gate of the final, preventing Argentina from winning both the Confederations Cup and the World Youth Championship.

Although Yin Jun did not score any goals in the match between the Chinese team and Argentina, Argentina was very aggrieved and even disgraced because of three own goals, but the Argentines still regarded Yin Jun as Argentina and were eliminated the culprit.

It was Yin Jun's omnipotent performance on both offensive and defensive ends that caused Argentina's offensive to be fruitless. At the same time, he made mistakes on the defensive end and conceded three own goals in a row.

Such a disgraceful exit hit Argentina deeply, and in the third and fourth finals with the German team, they once again suffered a humiliating defeat with a score of 1:4, only ranking No.4 in the Confederations Cup.

During this period of time, the domestic atmosphere in Argentina was very bad. The entire Argentine national team was completely regarded as a sinner and was criticized by the whole of Argentina.

In particular, the goalkeeper Lukes, who directly caused three own goals, was condemned by the whole of Argentina again when the stadium was hit hard, just like a rat crossing the street.

Lux's yawning during the game also became his biggest original sin: This guy is really sleepwalking, otherwise how could he have such a catastrophic performance!
At this time, the Argentines completely forgot how excited they were when Lux yawned.

………………

Just denouncing Lukes and the Argentine national team is not good for Argentina. Fortunately, at this time, the Argentine national youth team led by Messi was very competitive and won the fifth World Youth Championship in team history, thus becoming the world's first youth team. The team that has won the most championships in the history of the Youth Championship can be regarded as a boost to the low morale in Argentina, and it also gave the Argentines a ray of hope.

The major media in Argentina have reported that Argentina won the World Youth Championship.

Argentina's "Ole" said after the game that the Argentine had the last laugh. Although Nigeria's performance was even better from the scene, Argentina won.Messi, who played for Barcelona, ​​scored two penalties in the game to help Argentina win the championship.Messi personally also won the Golden Boot with six goals.In the final, Argentina was quite experienced. Although the team's offensive was not as good as Nigeria's, it created a lot of scoring opportunities.This is the fifth time in the history of Argentina to win the World Youth Championship, thus surpassing Brazil and becoming the country with the most World Youth Championships.

Another major Argentine media, the Clarion, said after the game that Messi became Argentina's hero, bringing hope to Argentina at the darkest moment in Argentine football history.The Barcelona teenager performed perfectly in this World Youth Championship.Especially in the final, Messi scored twice from the penalty spot and was Argentina's biggest hero in winning the championship.Messi personally won the Golden Boot with six goals and also won the Golden Globe, while Nigeria's Taiwo and Mikol won the Bronze Ball and Silver Ball respectively.In the final, Argentina performed well, at least it didn't give Nigeria too many good chances to score.Argentina, by contrast, jumped at the chance.Nigeria regrettably won the World Youth Championship runner-up for the second time, while Argentina won the World Youth Championship for the fifth time.

………………

The Chinese don't pay much attention to the domestic situation in Argentina. At this moment, they are rejoicing because the Chinese team won the World Series for the first time in history, and the whole country is celebrating.

The Chinese team won the Confederations Cup, which not only greatly boosted the confidence of all walks of life in Chinese football, but even enhanced China's international status and image to a certain extent.

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

The first is the huge bonus brought by winning the championship.

In order to increase the influence of the Confederations Cup, the organizers provided very high bonuses for participating teams.Every participating team, even if it stops in the group stage, can get a bonus of 85.3 euros.

And if you can advance to the knockout round, you will get even more bonuses. The prize money for No.4 is 142 million euros, the prize money for the third place is 170 million euros, and the prize money for the runner-up is 194 million euros.

As for the final champion, the bonus is as high as 227.5 million euros.According to the current exchange rate of Euro to RMB 13.73, this is a huge bonus of more than 3100 million!

In order to reward the outstanding performance of the national team, the Sports Bureau also generously rewards them.Not only did the bonus of 227.5 million euros not have to be handed over, but also 2000 million was awarded to the national team in the originally not well-off funds!
In other words, because the national team won the Confederations Cup, the Football Association earned more than 5000 million!Although part of it was rewarded to the players and coaching staff, as well as other related personnel, the Football Association still has a large amount of money in the account.

In fact, the direct bonus is nothing, the real big one is the income brought by other channels, such as business cooperation, such as endorsement.

After the Chinese team won the Confederations Cup, a large number of big companies approached the Football Association to discuss cooperation, waving checks. According to various estimates, this will bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

Once you have money, your back will be hardened, and you will have the confidence to do things.

………………

While the Chinese team won the championship and the domestic celebrations were wild, more and more media fans and professionals called for the players to be sent abroad as soon as possible to receive high-level football training.

Taking advantage of the two waves of the Confederations Cup and the World Youth Championship, many clubs in Europe have expressed their favor for the players belonging to the Chinese team and the National Youth Team.

Among them are Germany, the host of the Confederations Cup, and the Netherlands, the host of the World Youth Championship. Many clubs in the Bundesliga and Eredivisie have sent representatives to China to discuss signings.

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