Chapter 39 The Corner That Was Once Covered Up (Please Add to Your Favorites)

"This is the youth training contract we prepared for Wei Lai. After signing this contract, our school will do its best to cultivate Wei Lai, and at the same time provide him with a sufficient growth environment and competition environment. All internal promotion paths will also be open to him!"

The football academy's contract officer said seriously, "I hope you can trust us. We really want to nurture Wei Lai into an outstanding player, and our desire for this is very strong!"

After saying that, he took out another document.

"This is the call-up list from the U15 national youth team. In December of this year, Wei Lai will be called up by the U15 national youth team for an invitational training match, in order to prepare for next year's World Youth Football Championship!"

Two bombs were thrown, making Wei Chenggong's head buzz.

He knew his son was hardworking and had some talent.

But then someone suddenly tells you that your son is a super genius!
Your son is about to qualify for the national youth team and may wear the national jersey to represent the country.

After receiving this series of messages, Wei Chenggong was indeed somewhat overwhelmed.

"dad!"

Wei Lai called out to him several times before he immediately realized what was happening.

"Hey!" Wei Chenggong suddenly picked up a pen, but did not sign it. Instead, he turned his head to look at Wei Lai, and then slowly put the pen down.

The contract officer spoke up, "Do you have any concerns? You can tell me!"

Wei Chenggong pursed his lips: "What I'm saying might sound a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask."

He looked up at the other person and asked seriously, "Does my son have a chance to study abroad?"

Upon hearing this, both Wei Lai and the contract officer were taken aback.

"Studying abroad?" Wei Lai looked at Wei Chenggong.

Wei Chenggong: "I am a football fan, and I have a general understanding of the ins and outs here. There are many disputes in our football market regarding youth training contracts. Previously, Wang Teng and Shen Yaohua's overseas transfers fell through due to issues with their youth training contracts, so I want to hear a clear answer!"

The signing officer slowly exhaled and nodded, saying, "Since the major purge of football ten years ago, these things have become public and transparent. I can tell you that Willie Football School has clear terms for overseas player contracts, which are divided into two parts, and these terms are also written into this contract!"

"The first one, simply put, is a 50+50 contract."

"If they want to take away our youth academy players, they'll have to pay 50 yuan for their youth academy to train them. During this period, our players will be under their youth academy's management, and we have no right to interfere. Once our youth academy players qualify for the first team, they'll have to pay another 50 yuan to completely buy out the contracts."

"Conversely, if our youth academy players fail to get a chance to play for the opposing team's first team and obtain a formal professional contract by the age of 18, then we will refund 50 yuan, bring back the youth academy players, and let them go through the club's internal promotion channel."

"This is also for the sake of our youth training players, so that they don't end up without a team to play for."

"Secondly, we will sign professional contracts with youth training players in the name of the club first, and then enter the transfer processing period. When both parties agree, the transfer can be completed, and we can also get some transfer revenue from secondary and tertiary transfers."

At this point, the signing officer smiled and said, "I think you're not very clear about the profit model of youth training, so let me give you a brief introduction."

"According to FIFA regulations, for every transfer of a player before the age of 23, the youth training institution can receive 5% of the transfer fee! Professional players can also negotiate a transfer fee agreement, and these terms will be written into the contract."

The signing officer sighed. "The real profit mechanism for youth training is a model where success stories cover costs. That is, the emergence of one successful player can offset the losses from developing dozens of ordinary players with a single transfer. This model is similar to a betting agreement in the investment world, where the profits of the successful players subsidize the investments of the unsuccessful ones!"

Wei glanced at the signing officer and nodded slightly.

The massive purge of football years ago was effective, especially in the youth training sector, where hidden clauses in these contracts were brought to light.

In the past, many problems arose because youth training institutions and parents lacked a transparent understanding of this clause, which ultimately led to many disputes in youth training.

Wei Lai: "So, I still have to sign a professional contract with Willie, right?"

The contract officer chuckled, "On the condition that you can meet that standard!"

Liu Kaixuan is the youngest player to appear for the first team at Willy Football Club.

Liu Kaixuan, then 18 years old, officially entered the Chinese Super League and performed quite well.

As a youth player who progressed through the various teams of the Willy Football School and eventually made it to the first team, Liu Kaixuan is definitely the best and most standard promotion model for Willy Football School.

The signing officer's meaning was clear: the youth training contract wasn't the end of the story; it was just the beginning of success!
Wei Chenggong also reviewed the contract and found the same clauses before nodding and saying, "I'll sign!"

Ultimately, Wei Chenggong signed the contract, and Wei Lai officially became a key player cultivated by the Jiaozhou Weili Football School's youth training system.

At the same time, Wei Lai has officially joined the top-tier team!

After signing the contract, Wei Chenggong went to Zhao Xiaotang and Old Man Chen to give them some Bohai Port specialties and asked them to take good care of him.

The items aren't particularly valuable, but they represent the sentiment behind them.

Parents are always busy for their children, and this moment is no exception.

As Wei Chenggong walked out of the football academy's office building, he was about to leave. He had things to take care of tomorrow, and this trip was a last-minute squeeze. "Dad, let me see you off!"

Wei Chenggong nodded; "Just leave it at the door!"

Wei Lai nodded in agreement.

The father and son remained somewhat silent throughout the journey.

Upon reaching the door, Wei Chenggong turned and looked intently at Wei Lai.

"Son, your dad is a football fan, and I roughly know some of the ins and outs of the profession. Sometimes you have to compromise, but you must have a bottom line. We can't fix matches!"

Wei Lai nodded.

Wei Chenggong pursed his lips; "I don't know what to say to you either."

He placed his hand on Wei Lai's shoulder and patted him twice forcefully.

"Once you put on that uniform, you must live up to the national flag on your chest!"

Wei Chenggong said earnestly, "To win glory for the country!"

Guangdong Province, Guangfa Youth Training Base.

"Shaojie is still training!"

Yu Jiahe walked over, looked at Chen Shaojie who was still sweating profusely on the court, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Since that match, Chen Shaojie has trained even harder.

This training session not only included comfort zone exercises such as footwork frequency and rhythm, but also added some strength training.

Indeed, Chen Shaojie understood that as a defensive midfielder, if he didn't withstand physical contact, he might not even be able to hold onto the ball.

“Willie won the championship, but those guys deserved it,” Yu Jiahe grinned. “Especially that number five, he was a fucking beast!”

After returning home, Yu Jiahe had nightmares for several days, in which a dirty thing floated around in the room.

Wei Lai suddenly appeared as soon as the covers were lifted.

That was terrifying!
He was truly terrified of Wei Lai.

"But that guy is really strong!" Luo Xiang said with feeling.

For him, it was also a terrible game; his performance was absolutely awful.

But he had no choice; he was a striker, and his specialty was making forward runs.

If the ball can't be passed over, his role is greatly reduced.

At this moment, Chen Shaojie walked over.

"You two were waiting for me?" Chen Shaojie wiped his sweat and checked the time. "It's not lunchtime yet!"

"I'm bored, I came out for some fresh air!"

Yu Jiahe waved his hand and then said, "Take it easy, we still have to go to Europe for a 'talent show' in November!"

"A talent show!"

Chen Shaojie grinned.

Every family has its cupboard!

For GF Youth Training, the internal promotion channel is gone due to the disappearance of GF Football Club.

For young players, they need to sign a formal professional contract at the age of 18, but they don't have a first team, so they can only look for opportunities everywhere.

This medium must be an 'export'!
Otherwise, all the players that Guangfa Youth Training has spent a lot of money and effort to cultivate will fly away.

In the end, they ended up with nothing, their youth training program couldn't be sustained, and it will slowly disappear.

Therefore, GF is very proactive in participating in overseas competitions, even though it requires more money. However, compared to these funds, 'exporting' is the most crucial issue.

Players with exceptional talent, like Chen Shaojie, will inevitably need to be exported.

Firstly, it's for Chen Shaojie's future!
Secondly, it is also to ensure that youth training can be sustained and to receive financial support!
