In the fall of 2023, the National Junior Team waved goodbye, but wrote a brilliant story in the East Asian U15 tournament, winning the laurels.
Thinking back to the "Super Platinum Generation" of the 2005 World Youth Championship in Holland, after their brilliant performance, they suffered from the departure of their head coach, Claude OCT, and the cold shoulder of Chen Tao by Shenyang FC. Now, all we can do is to reminisce.
The latest news points out that after the National Junior Team won the championship, the team was disbanded and the reason is a mystery. Shockingly, the Japanese coach of Evergrande Sports School, who had led the team to win several titles, also announced his resignation. The CFA has now taken over the management and is tentatively considering introducing a business model.
Some people lament that the players cultivated by Guangzhou Evergrande Football School brought new hope to Chinese soccer. However, the glory of Evergrande Football School is no longer there, and Boss Xu is incapable of providing solid backing for young players.
The media revealed that the U15 national junior team's popularity has surged after winning the championship, which is expected to bring lucrative profits for some people if properly packaged and taken to the business model!
It is sobering to see the tragedy of the 2005 World Youth Championship in Holland repeated in Chinese soccer.
The arrest of Chen Xuyuan and his team does not mean that the soccer environment in China has improved, and we as fans should watch fewer matches and cherish the resources available.
