Chapter 4 Camp Nou, I will definitely come back!
The dressing room of the away team at Limburg-Park.

Shen Feng was not complacent about scoring four goals in the game.

Rockhoff was visibly uncomfortable speaking after the game.

Probably because he gave up once during the game, but not only survived the desperate situation, but also counterattacked Roda JC at the last moment to get 3 points, which made him a little unsure how to face his players.

He praised the team lightly, reiterated that they still have three important relegation battles, and asked the team to remain focused and vigilant, so it ended hastily.

After the coach left, the players glanced at Shen Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

Perhaps as a loan player, Shen Feng's role as the savior also brought them embarrassment to a certain extent.

Shen Feng went to take a shower as if nothing had happened, changed into cheap sportswear and ordinary sneakers, put on his backpack and left the locker room.

When going to the parking lot and passing the mixed area of ​​the stadium, many media reporters surrounded him and handed the microphones to Shen Feng.

The reporters were actually a little at a loss, and went to learn about Shen Feng's information immediately after the match.

When they tentatively asked Shen Feng if he knew English, Shen Feng first corrected the reporters' names for him.

"Don't call me Feng-Shen, call me Shen, or Feng, or Shen Feng, it doesn't matter."

After hearing his words, the reporters were excited. This Chinese can understand human speech!

When asked about the wonderful performance of the big four in the first show, Shen Feng looked calm but his tone was extremely firm.

"I have been preparing for this day, and today I finally made my career debut. I believe today is a good start, and it will spur and motivate me to continue working hard."

Reporters are obviously more concerned about why he has been loaned to the SBV elite team for more than four months, why he only got the opportunity today.

Shen Feng shook his head and said, "Whether I can play or not is not up to me, so I can't answer this question."

After accepting the interview, Shen Feng walked towards the parking lot.

Reporters watched him leave.

That figure, who was not tall and mighty, was dressed in an ordinary or even plain attire, interpreting ordinary from beginning to end, and if he was thrown on the street, no one would think that he was so different.

But the 18-year-old player only took 15 minutes to make Roda JC, who was aiming to enter the Champions League play-off ticket area, lose face at home, and became the laughing stock of the whole Netherlands this weekend!

Rotterdam is the second largest city in the Netherlands.

The SBV elite team is in this city.

Although Shen Feng has never visited the museums, concert halls, and galleries in the port city built on the swamp, in just a few months, he ran in the park at sunrise, practiced ball on the beach at sunset, climbed to the high point of the landmark building to overlook the city with criss-crossing rivers, and watched thousands of sails break the waves at the seaside.

Compared with the fierce competition in La Masia and the noisy city about football topics, Rotterdam has nothing to do with excitement but a peaceful life for Shen Feng.

Far away from the old suburban community, Shen Feng returned to the small apartment he rented.

Separate small bathroom, small wardrobe, single bed, and a space of less than 20 square meters is just a place for him to sleep and rest.

After playing for about 30 minutes, Shen Feng didn't consume much, so he continued to do fitness training according to his daily habits.

At the age of 18, he has reached the third stage of persistence.

What was initially hard turned to numbness, which is now habit.

After Shen Feng finished his sit-ups drenched in sweat, he picked up his phone while wiping his sweat.

Maybe send a message to the parents.

Tell them you hit the game today.

When he sent a message to his father, there was no response for a long time.

It was early morning in China's time zone.

But just after he took a bath, his mother sent him a message.

"Son, your dad stared at the computer last night while watching your game and shouted cheers. After the game, he talked about how great you are, and then kept saying that he must continue to work hard. In the middle of the night, he fried a plate of peanuts and drank half a catty of Erguotou. Now he is asleep.

Mom doesn't know if you are doing well or not, but you must take care of yourself. "

After reading the message, Shen Feng lay on the bed and replied to his mother.

After testing his head and looking up at the night sky outside the small window, before Shen Feng closed his eyes and went to sleep, the persistence in his eyes was full of sharpness!

Strange space.

Shocking football.

Wrapped flag.

Decadent fat Luo.

At the beginning of 2004, Manchester United CEO David Gill made a high-profile business development in Singapore and announced that the Red Devils had more than 1 million fans in Asia!

The giants of Europe are envious.

It doesn't matter if Manchester United has 1 million fans in Asia.

The important thing is that Manchester United only used 350 million pounds to introduce Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo, which further leveraged the Asian market, more channels of sponsorship income, and raised the original sponsorship contract.

Although Real Madrid counterattacked Manchester United and became the top of the world football club revenue list, Manchester United's commercial operation capabilities are obvious to all in the industry, and it is no exaggeration to call it an industry benchmark.

Other giants can't do it like Real Madrid to build a galaxy warship, but it has become common practice to imitate Manchester United to leverage the Asian market at a low cost.

In the summer of the same year, the Chinese team achieved outstanding results in the World Youth Championship, giving birth to the super-platinum generation in the Chinese media.

Europe's major teams have poached but encountered unprecedented difficulty.

The Chinese club Lions opened their mouths to ask for sky-high transfer fees, which discouraged European teams and made the super-platinum generation stay in China to waste their youth.

So European teams set their sights on young players.

Led by the giants, it started a staking campaign to search for young players to create commercial influence in Chinese football.

In the autumn of 2004, the first batch of 15 Chinese players entered the youth teams of major European football teams.

In the summer of 2005, Shen Feng became the second batch of Chinese players to enter European football, and he was also the most watched among them, because his team was the giants of La Liga Barcelona!

From China's Tianhai to La Masia, Shen Feng's father sold everything for him, almost ruining his entire family!

Going abroad requires money, and before going abroad, if you want to enter the field of vision of being drafted by European teams, from the club echelon to the middleman who undertakes activities in China, you need money at every level!
To be selected, one cannot say how talented Shen Feng is, it can only be said that he is the most outstanding player among the same batch of drafted players.

Shen Feng still remembered how high the treatment he received when he came to La Masia.

Club chairman Laporta personally gave him the jersey, talked to the media, and declared that he is optimistic about Shen Feng's future at Camp Nou to fight for Barcelona!

16-year-old Shen Feng started his football career in Barcelona with the best and purest hopes.

In order to integrate into Barcelona, ​​he not only learned Spanish, but also Catalan.

He has consistently given more than his peers.

Try to make yourself a perfect part of that group except for your appearance.

Unpalatable food, he struggled to get used to it.

Gossip fell on deaf ears.

Being racially discriminated against, he would comfort himself: don't waste time on scum.

But even so, he did not get even a minute of playing time in the Barcelona B team.

Stronger, not bad in speed, and solid in basic skills, Shen Feng never understood why he wasn't even good enough for garbage time!
At the same time, every weekend he can see his idol, the elf king from Brazil, wearing a Barcelona jersey and stepping on the magic dance steps on the court to captivate the world.

He also saw the emergence of the Argentine talent who entered the first team shortly after his arrival.

Lying on the bed in the dormitory time and time again, he imagined that the boy who could be carried by Ronaldinho would be himself.

At the end of 2006, European tycoons lost interest in Chinese players.

Because looking back on the past two years or so, the players who went from China to Europe have basically returned to China.

The European media ridiculed these Chinese players: They are like children in their infancy. One day they opened the door to the outside world. After only one glance, they were frightened by the beast and fled back home. They closed the door tightly and dared not take a step again!
As a fertile ground for youth training in European football, La Masia has left a group of talented players headed by Leo Messi, and there will be the next batch of talented players immediately.

During a team training match, Shen Feng's new Wang Boyang, whom everyone was optimistic about, rolled to the ground. This was the third time he knocked Boyang down in a few months, and many other teammates couldn't bear his physical destruction.

After Bo Yang angrily pushed Shen Feng down, Shen Feng didn't hold back this time.

At that moment, he was really depressed to the limit.

Go for the Catalan, go for the Spanish food, go for the Genius!
Hit one punch, avoid a hundred punches!

The scuffle between him and Bo Yang only lasted 1 minute, and then Shen Feng unilaterally beat up the screaming Bo Yang.

When other people came to help, Shen Feng did not miss it!
With incidents of such a nasty nature, Barcelona needed something to say, especially since Bojan's father was an employee of Barcelona: a scout.

Everything about Barcelona becomes news in Catalonia.

Shen Feng became synonymous with failure. He was barbaric and rough, unable to understand the essence of Spanish football. Even La Masia, who was influenced by Cruyff's football philosophy, could not transform him from a primitive man to a modern man.

Shen Feng could turn a blind eye to the criticism from the media.

But when he continued to train as if nothing had happened, his teammates began to speak ill of him.

Even the hypocritical demeanor is directly discarded.

"What do you think you are? You are just the club's mascot to attract sponsors!"

"If you're not Chinese, you're not even worthy of shining our shoes!"

"You think you have strength, but in fact, you have only just scratched the surface. You are nothing!"

Those words hurt Shen Feng mercilessly.

In order to get rid of the burden of Shen Feng, Barcelona couldn't wait to loan him to the Netherlands during the winter break.

Originally, they planned to lose him to PSV Eindhoven. The latter was willing to help, but they also thought that Shen Feng might be an eyesore in the team, so they arranged for their satellite club SBV Elite to rent Shen Feng.

Shen Feng did not resist.

At the end of the loan period, his contract with Barcelona will also expire.

The moment he boarded the plane out of Barcelona, ​​he looked out the window at the dwindling ground and locked his eyes on the iconic Camp Nou stadium.

He will definitely be back!
