When death is inevitable, the meaning of death becomes a difficult choice.

Facing a 0:3 deficit, South Korean head coach Paul Bento made personnel adjustments after the halftime break, showing his pursuit of a dignified death. But only one person was replaced, which also shows that the desire for respectability is just a cautious desire that has been psychologically prepared.

Lee Seung-woo, who is the youngest in the team and just turned 21 on the opening day of the Asian Cup, replaced Hwang Hee-chan who disappeared after missing a great scoring opportunity in the opening game.

Lee Seung-woo is well-known in South Korea and was selected for last year's World Cup and Asian Games squads. However, he was the last passenger on the last train when Bento's favored Na Sang-ho came to the UAE and was injured in training.

Lee Seung-woo is known as the ‘Korean Messi’.

Among today's top players, 'XX Messi' has always been the most marketable because of his most recognizable figure and distinctive features.

About eight or nine years ago, the media of China, Japan and South Korea all launched their own country's "Messi", but South Korea and Japan were "real Messi", and the Chinese media was "Qiang Mei" who forcibly added drama.

In 2010, South Korea's U12 national youth participated in an international competition called the "Danone Cup". During the competition, the Korean youth performed outstandingly and won the runner-up. Many players aroused the amazement of the on-site scouts.

Soon after, three Korean children, 12-year-old Lee Seung-woo, 13-year-old Baek Seung-ho, and 12-year-old Jang Jae-hee, were packaged by Barcelona and recruited to La Masia. At that time, it was not just South Korea and Asia that caused a sensation.

Zhuoyang, who was still in Barcelona at that time, often saw the "three heroes of Korea" and was so envious that he wanted to find a place where no one was around and strangle them to death.

All three were good, but Lee Seung-woo performed particularly well. He scored 2 goals for Barcelona U13 in his first season, setting a new record for La Masia's U13 age group. He thus stood out among the three and won the title of 'Korean Messi'. title.

And the old goal record maker before La Masia U13 was none other than Boss Mei himself.

Zhuoyang also met the ‘Japanese Messi’ Kubo Takehide in Barcelona. This was also a child that he wanted to strangle to death.

Kubo Jianying is 3 years younger than Lee Seung-woo. He stood out from 300 children in the training camp opened by Barcelona in Yokohama, Japan. At that time, Kubo Takehide had been signed by Yokohama Marinos in the draft, but he couldn't resist the invitation of Barcelona and broke the contract and came to La Masia.

Subsequently, Takehide Kubo represented Barcelona in Europe and was elected MVP of the tournament. He became very popular for a while.

Speaking of which, countries all over the world have launched their own "Messi", but only "Han Meimei" Li Shengyou and "Nixixi" Kubo Takehide who play for La Masia are the most authentic.

Compared with the two of them, the 'Chinese Messi' at that time was just a joke.

At that time, the spring buds of football hope had not yet emerged, and Liu Langdong was still a kidnapped child in the mountains. Mei Zixi's happiest thing was holding hands with her sister at the same table after school, and Li Zimo slept in class and played football and fought after class.

Looking at Li Shengyou and Kubo Jianying, the Chinese media not to be outdone launched the "Chinese Messi" Xu Xu.

Xu Xu is the same age as Li Shengyou, and he is also 21 years old this year. He was very talented and was able to jump into the Shandong U15 echelon at the age of 13, but frankly speaking, he was not the most dazzling domestic player of his age at that time.

Xu Xu’s ability to become the ‘Chinese Messi’ is related to his experience. In the spring when Xu was 14 and a half years old, Xu's father took Xu Xu away from China and went to Barcelona to start a persevering trial training experience. He has been reluctant to give up for two years. During this period, he only played sporadic football in several amateur teams in Barcelona to maintain his condition.

Two years of persistence shows at least two things, persistence and money.

Although Xu's father firmly believed that all the players in Barcelona's U15 and even U17 were not as good as his son, he persisted until 2015 and finally only waited for the signing of Barcelona's cross-town team Espanyol.

The signing was signed, but after two seasons, not to mention the first team of Parrot Legion, even the second team of Espanyol in Segunda B (equivalent to Serie C), Xu Xu had only been a substitute for less than 5 games in total. Chance. The technology is acceptable, but the confrontation ability is too poor.

Frankly speaking, Xu Xu's past four years were almost wasted.

In 2017, Xu Xu was terminated by the Spaniards and subsequently returned to China. After a series of trial training, he joined Shaanxi Changan Athletic in the Chinese Second Division. Last year, he was promoted to the Shaanxi Division A with the team during the integration of the new Chinese Super League. Now he is just a marginal substitute on the bench.

Li Zimo, Liu Langdong and many real geniuses from Hope Chunlei have already emerged. The name of "Chinese Messi" was also bound to Li Zimo a few years ago, although he himself was not very willing.

There are too many stories of injuries to Zhongyong in football, but Xu Xu is no exception.

Although Li Shengyou and Kubo Jianying did not reach the heights expected by South Koreans and Japanese many years ago, they finally developed normally, and it is not about fate. They had at least some bad luck.

Barcelona was a little crazy in those years. The search and recruitment of Li Shengyou and Kubo Takeying was just the beginning. In the following years, Barcelona recruited more than a dozen big boys from all over the world to enter La Masia. Laporta did it, Rosell and Bartomeu did it too.

FIFA and UEFA have strict regulations on clubs signing 18, especially 1, which are much stricter than signing adult players. The purpose of this is to make football youth training fair and to prevent clubs from laundering money.

Barcelona knows better than anyone, but the means and methods they use to sign these shitty kids cannot stand up to scrutiny. As the saying goes, a dog is beaten with a brick. In 2014, driven by Real Madrid's third vice president Jimenez, the FIFA Player Status Committee began an investigation into Barcelona's series of signings.

Subsequently, Barcelona was banned from purchasing transfers for two years, including the first team and echelon. More than a dozen young players, including Lee Seung-woo, Kubo Gunying and the 'Three Elites of South Korea', were also declared to have violated the rules by joining La Masia. Their contracts were all invalid and they were not allowed to sign with Barcelona again before reaching the age of 18, nor were they allowed to play in Europe. Kicking a ball inside is effectively equivalent to being banned from Europe.

Xu Xu also gave up the trial training under this background, otherwise he would have persisted. This thing is like going to the street and insisting on writing online articles. Riding a tiger is difficult to stop. If you persist, at least it will be heard well. Barcelona yo~, writer yo~

Kubo turned around and returned to Japan to join FC Tokyo, waiting to renew his relationship with Barcelona after turning 18 this summer. But I don’t know if Barcelona, ​​which already has Liu Langdong, will sign him.

However, Lee Seung-woo and the "Three Heroes of South Korea" chose to stay behind and did not play games but could continue training with the team. After all, they were older at the time, only half a year and a year away from turning 18.

But it's really not human behavior to have no serious games to play in the years when goals should be increased the most. 18-year-old Lee Seung-woo was re-signed by Barcelona, ​​but a year later he moved to Verona in Serie A. This season he was demoted to Serie B with the team.

The 22-year-old Baek Seung-ho is currently playing in La Liga's newly promoted Girona Second Team, which belongs to the same city group and is called the 'Manchester City Second Team'. However, he is still a fringe member of the Korean football team.

The worst thing is that Zhang Jiexi, known as 'Korea Iniesta', was terminated after sitting on the bench for a whole year in Greece last season. The 22-year-old is now in Pyeongtaek FC of Korea C (K3) and is still It's the bench, I heard he wants to retire.

Li Zimo, instead of Liu Langdong and Mei Zixi, was awarded the title of "Chinese Messi" because he was the first to stand out among this group of children. The all-powerful U1 of Madibao could not wait to be grafted onto the title.

Of course, being short is also a very important factor. Now he is only 171cm tall, while Liu Langdong has grown to 182cm tall.

Li Zimo doesn’t want the title of ‘Chinese Messi’ at all. Their family and the Zhuo family used to live in the same village. His father, the village chief Ke Zi, had been golfing friends with Zhuo Yang in his early years. Now he is also the director of the management committee of the Hope Town Sports and Music Park. He and Zhuo Yang know each other so well that their dog-skin socks are not turned right. .

Li Zimo is the child that Zhuo Yang watched grow up, and he called Zhuo Yang his uncle since he was a child. This naughty kid has been very crazy since he was a child. He belongs to - I am Uncle Zhuo's nephew. Who the hell are you calling me "Messi"?

But the media won't reason with a little brat. As Liu Langdong's talent exploded, Li Zimo and he became rivals. In order to shirk the title, Li Zimo even begged Liu Langdong to take away the title of "Chinese Messi".

Although Liu Langdong is not crazy, he still has a deep relationship with Zhuo Yang. After being found by his biological parents, his football path was started by Zhuo Yang himself. Brother Zhuo is the god in his heart, but who does Messi mean?

When Mei Zixi, who looked similar in appearance and had a similar name, broke out, the title of "Chinese Messi" had been firmly attached to Li Zimo, and he could not get rid of it. Mei Zixi took over as "Little Messi".

It was precisely because he was dissatisfied with the "Chinese Messi" that Mocai angrily rejected Barcelona in 201 and chose Real Madrid.

Under the close attention of Zhuo Yang and the rigorous operation of the eldest sister Tou Zhuo Qiu, signing contracts with Barcelona and European teams has been the most formal procedure for Chinese children in recent years. The siblings are determined not to allow the Chinese children to suffer the losses of Han Meimei and Rixixi. .

Under the strong contrast of the Chinese teenager, the Korean media is actually quite disappointed with Lee Seung-woo. Although he wore the Korean Football Team 10 jersey in the World Cup last year and came on as a substitute twice, South Korea already has the reputation of "Han Meimei" The trend was transferred to 18-year-old Lee Kang-in, who plays for the second team Valencia B in Segunda División.

Li Shengyou came on the stage on the 12th. He pursed his lips and secretly glanced at his former 'teammate' Zhuo Yang, then looked at Li Ju, Park Inmeng and Wang Poxian, and sighed quietly in his heart.
