"Hello, Principal Ding. I’ve heard you’re young and successful, but I didn’t expect you to be this young."
After getting out of the car, Zhao Dejiang walked straight toward Ding Yue.
He imdiately recognized that the refined young man before him was none other than the renowned Principal Ding.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao."
Ding Yue warmly extended his hand, shook hands with Mr. Zhao Dejiang, and greeted him, "Mr. Zhao, shall we talk as we walk?"
"Sure, I’ve been wanting to visit Mist City Arts and Science University for a while now. I can use this opportunity to take a good look around."
Zhao Dejiang nodded in agreent.
In recent years, Mist City Arts and Science University had gained quite a reputation. Its standing among universities in the country had risen sharply, and it now ranked among the elite institutions. Ordinary key universities wouldn’t dare to compare themselves with Mist City Arts and Science University anymore, as it might very well surpass them.
"Alright then. Let give you a tour of Mist City Arts and Science University. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll work here."
Ding Yue said with a smile.
He was more than happy to lead others on a tour of his university, as it gave him the chance to showcase the dynamic spirit of Mist City Arts and Science University to outsiders.
Saying this, Ding Yue began to accompany Mr. Zhao Dejiang, walking together into the campus of Mist City Arts and Science University.
As Zhao Dejiang stepped onto the campus, he imdiately sensed a unique atmosphere.
Over the years, many universities had invited him to serve as a football coach or in a similar role, but compared to Mist City Arts and Science University, all those institutions seed to lack a certain sothing.
Mist City Arts and Science University exuded an intangible yet appealing vibe, making people want to savor the scholarly ambiance there. He couldn’t pinpoint exactly why this was the case.
Of course, Zhao Dejiang wasn’t a student; he was already in his fifties and didn’t need to concern himself with these things. What he truly wanted was to understand how Mist City Arts and Science University cultivated such a group of outstanding young football players.
He also hoped to assess Principal Ding’s ambitious vision to see if it aligned with his own expectations for dostic football.
If it did, Zhao Dejiang would be utterly devoted, contributing his efforts to improve the football environnt in the country. If he could witness the national team qualifying for the World Cup once more in his lifeti, he would consider his greatest wish fulfilled.
Indeed, Zhao Dejiang’s singular and greatest dream in his remaining years was to see the dostic football culture thrive, leading the national team to regroup and charge into the World Cup once again.
As for the online chatter claiming Feiyue Soccer Club aspired to win the World Cup, Zhao Dejiang could only offer moral support. In reality, such an idea was almost unthinkable.
After all, the world has so many formidable teams, such as Argentina, the German war machine, France, Portugal, Spain, and Baxi. The strength of these teams simply wasn’t sothing anyone could challenge casually.
Of course, from an idealistic standpoint, Zhao Dejiang naturally wanted his national team to sweep aside powerhouses like Argentina, the German war machine, and Baxi with ease!
If such a day ever ca, that would truly be a life without regrets—total fulfillnt!
"Mr. Zhao, what are your thoughts on Feiyue Soccer Club’s recent match with Shuangjiang Football Team?"
Ding Yue first engaged Mr. Zhao Dejiang in a discussion about the situation of his Feiyue Soccer Team.
After all, Mr. Zhao Dejiang had once been a professional player for the national team. He would certainly be able to spot nuances in matches like the one between Feiyue Soccer Team and Shuangjiang Football Team.
"I watched the live broadcast of that match. To be honest, your Feiyue Soccer Team’s young players perford excellently. They showcased the essence of football. As long as they maintain that spirit, I believe they’ll achieve even better results."
Zhao Dejiang shared his thoughts on the match.
It was indeed challenging to find fault with Feiyue Soccer Team. The young players’ performance had been nothing short of outstanding. Without a doubt, the future held great promise for them!
"I also hope they’ll achieve even better results in the future. These young players are truly rare gems. However, they will inevitably leave the pitch one day. For dostic football to truly rise, we need more football enthusiasts, especially youth with dreams of playing football, to step forward and continue the journey."
As Ding Yue spoke, he gradually steered the conversation to its core topic.
The purpose of inviting Mr. Zhao Dejiang this ti was clear: to discuss the youth training system and football leagues. These are the cornerstones of dostic football, and they must be rebuilt thoughtfully. With the current youth training system and dostic football league structure, it’s extrely difficult to produce outstanding football players. Even though the infrastructure for dostic football is already well-developed, without a promising future, neither youth nor their parents would willingly encourage them to pursue football.
"Indeed, we need many successors to keep moving forward so football can flourish. Comparing dostic and international football, the number of registered players in Xia Country is very low. It’s hard to select players capable of representing the country from just a few thousand young footballers. This is like searching for a needle in a haystack. The problem is, if we can’t even guarantee the future of those few thousand football-loving youth, then how can we attract more youngsters to take up football?"
