Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 235

The matter that was almost forgotten by Anton was actually not entirely because he wanted to find Jiang Yueming himself, but Anton's father brought it up.

"This... is this true?" Jiang Yueming's voice trembled with excitement.

"It's true, but my father doesn't know how the domestic acceptance of virtual reality equipment is. Let's not talk about professional clubs. My father wants to know what kind of situation is in an ordinary Chinese family or an amateur football school. Willingly accept such a 'toy' for children to train and use."

"So I very much want to learn more about these details through people who are familiar with the domestic situation. My father entrusted me with this task, and even hoped that I could go to China in person. But I am very busy with the work of the club, and I can't take it off. Get away." Anton raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slyly, "Then you came to the door."

Jiang Yueming was caught straight by Anton's "catch bag", but he didn't take it seriously at all. On the contrary, he rubbed his hands in excitement, thought for a while and asked: "My lord is planning to develop the 'Green Life' simulator in China. market?"

Anton shook his head: "No, in fact, the product my father wants to develop cannot be confused with 'Green Life'. 'Green Life' is a 'simulator' for simulating business operations, and this product, My dad called it the 'trainer'."

The ownership of "Green Life" belongs to the development company under Starway, but Papa Lin, as an investor, has a great say in the "training device" independently developed on the basis of the code of "Green Life".

What Lin Dae meant was to donate a batch of products to Chinese football first, so that these high-tech products can help the young generation to make progress.But he didn't know what channels to use to make the right people accept this product and properly use the technology on the cutting edge.

Jiang Yueming laughed immediately, gearing up, and patted his chest: "It's all on me! I know a lot of people from amateur football schools. Cultivating the next generation is definitely the focus of everyone's work."

Anton also felt good when he heard it, and said: "My father wants to promote this project, not for profit at all, but to promote Chinese football, so that the next generation in China will love football, and like European teenagers, Get involved in football."

It turned out that Papa Lin who asked Anton to find a way to contact the country was actually a senior fan.Although he has been away from his hometown for some years, he still cares about Chinese football.After learning that Bernard had developed the "Life in the Green" football simulator, Papa Lin persuaded the game development company to further simplify the "Life in the Green" on the basis of the novice player stage, and developed an introductory football simulator. "Trainer".

To be precise, this is a bit like an introductory tutorial for "Green Life".

The new version of the "Trainer" can be used as a training tool for professional or semi-professional players. It allows users to train and compete with players from top teams in a virtual environment, just like Anton did when he trained with Torres. Users complete the training of football skills and comprehension of tactics, so as to gradually improve their own level.

After developing this entry-level "trainer", Papa Lin's idea is to donate 1 authorized accounts to Chinese sports education institutions.

After Jiang Yueming heard the details, he was also very excited. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Understood, your father is an old overseas Chinese, and he still cares about Chinese football so much..." He almost came out with "I can't afford it" The word, the words came to the mouth and quickly shrank back.

Before he finished speaking, Anton had already sighed: "The old man was actually injured for a while, especially after the 'Golden State' tragedy."

“金州”惨案是指中国国足1997年参加亚洲10强赛，在主场2:0领先的情况下，最终2:4输给了伊朗队。那场比赛伤透了无数热爱中国足球的球迷的心。

Father Lin stopped talking about Chinese football after that, and turned his attention back to his favorite Nottingham Forest.

But as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. After hearing that his youngest son had developed a virtual simulator that is extremely helpful for the development of professional football, Father Lin couldn't help but want to contribute to the development of football in his motherland. .

"My father often said a word. He said that if the utilization rate of Chinese football fields can be as high as that of table tennis tables, Chinese football will definitely be able to take off."

Jiang Yueming was a little speechless after hearing this: It is still impossible at this stage to make the utilization rate of domestic football fields as high as that of table tennis tables.

But thinking about it from another angle, England, an island country, has such a high level of professional football, largely because their young people can get in touch with football anytime, anywhere.Adults randomly set up a goal in their backyard, and children can practice shooting; even on the street, you can often see half-grown teenagers fighting for a football.

Here, many children join the youth training of various clubs at the age of five or six. Among them, good seedlings with outstanding talents are discovered early and are cultivated by the club; but even if the talent is not obvious, they can leave the youth training system logically. Seamless connection to other education systems, Vardy's example fully illustrates this point.

China's table tennis level is so high, it may also be directly proportional to the good mass base of Chinese table tennis.

At this moment, Jiang Yueming somewhat understood Papa Lin's intention: If this "training device" using virtual reality can rekindle the interest and enthusiasm of Chinese children for football, then it is foreseeable that the future of Chinese football will be bright.

"Excuse me... is there any difference between the 'trainer' you mentioned and the complete 'green life'?"

Even though Jiang Yueming agreed to Anton's request without hesitation, he still had to get to the bottom of it out of professional habits.

After Anton briefly answered the characteristics of the "trainer", Jiang Yueming rubbed his hands again, and asked excitedly: "There will be a day in the future when the complete 'Green Life' will enter the Chinese market?"

Anton was silent at this moment—the "complete" green life that Jiang Yueming asked, at least until Bernard woke up, did not exist in the world.

Jiang Yueming knew that he had made a slip of the tongue as soon as the words came out, and quickly waved his hands to cover up, saying: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

"I actually want to ask... oh yes, what I want to ask is: If virtual reality gaming devices become popular in the future, will all our young people prefer to play football in virtual reality?"

Anton: ...

When Jiang Yueming thought of this question, he also felt that it was worth discussing.

"You think, after all, playing football in virtual reality will not be injured, and there is no real physical exertion, and there is no restriction on physical fitness. People with any innate conditions can play, and in the game, as long as they gain comprehensive experience points, they can be upgraded. , one's own ability will become stronger... Will this cause children to only play virtual games in the future and disdain real football games?"

Anton is a person who seldom gets asked. For this question, he has always had an answer.But before answering Jiang Yueming's question, a burst of hidden worry suddenly came to his mind, making Anton frowned.

But this is the fact that many young people in the world are becoming more and more obsessed with the Two-dimensional world, and the number of people engaged in emerging e-sports is increasing. These emerging "sports" that are completely different from traditional sports have begun to enter people's field of vision.At present, there have been many voices calling for large-scale events to be held for these events and to make the events an official event of the Olympic Games.

In another ten or 20 years... Will football and sports be as real as they are now?

"We must believe in the charm of these realistic competitive events, as well as all the impact and influence that 'reality' brings to us, which Two-dimensional cannot give us." Anton finally answered lightly.

Jiang Yueming immediately touched his head with a smirk and said, "I'm really sorry! I really diverted the topic too far. But it's also a great thing to be able to interview you on the things that young people like in such a program." A very meaningful discussion.”

"As for the 'training device' that your father wants to give to the Chinese Football School, you can rest assured! I will definitely help you with this matter after returning to China."

"By the way, we have edited a part of your game video in "Green Life" before, and it will be released to Chinese audiences together with your other daily life scenes. By then, this documentary about your daily life , will also promote the steady development of 'Trainer' in China, killing two birds with one stone, how wonderful!"

Anton looked at this young man who was always optimistic and heartless, and smiled comfortably.It's really not a problem to get along with such a person.

In the end, Jiang Yueming shot the material with Anton and the others for a period of about a week, basically understanding Anton's daily routine.Even Anton could see the interview team just by turning his eyes.The photographer's professionalism and dedication left a deep impression on the interview team. On the day Jiang Yueming and the others were about to leave, Anton was not used to it.

On the day of parting, when Anton drove Eriksson and Ibrahimovic to the club for training, Ibrahimovic gave up the co-pilot position to the photographer for the first time, so that the photographer had the opportunity to take pictures of Anton's front while driving lens.

Eriksson laughed at Ibrahimovic: "It turns out that you will have a day you are reluctant to part with!"

Ibrahimovic replied straightforwardly: "God is reluctant to part with everything and all living beings in the world."

Eriksson: ...

Since Sunderland lost to Liverpool in the last game, the points in the Premier League standings have gone up and down. Manchester United had already been slightly separated by them. It is still in a state of going hand in hand.

The outside world commented on the two teams: They are really in love with each other, and they will fall on the same opponent.

Sunderland's next opponent happens to be Manchester United's cross-city rivals Manchester City.So Manchester United fans are really worried at home at this time. Do they hope that their opponents in the championship will lose, or do they hope that their rivals in the same city will lose?This is a really tricky question.

Mancini, the head coach of Manchester City, that is, the Italian Mancini who is very delicately dressed, has a meticulous hairstyle, and likes a full suit and a blue scarf on the field, accidentally lost to Sander when he was away at the Stadium of Light last time. orchid.Now that he has uttered harsh words, he must win the round and let the black cat know how powerful Blue Moon is.

The author has something to say: My family is like this. When my father mentions Chinese football, he always mentions the 2-4 game in Golden State.

By the way, my pseudonym has something to do with football - my father's favorite football star was a melancholy Italian prince.My father once casually said that he is "Ba Qiao" (Ba Qiao), when will our country produce a "Nine Qiao"...

This is where my pseudonym comes from.
