The number of registered players + high-quality matches is an objective law for the overall development of national football. The reason why Qatari football and Icelandic football, which have a small number of registered players, have risen so quickly is that their youth players have many high-quality games.
Dong Lu's young football players actually operate according to this idea, that is, to select children who seem to have potential, and then after a series of games, and with their performance in the game, they have the opportunity to join the youth academy of European clubs and participate in more high-quality competitions.
It's just that Dong Lu is still too disciplined and has no creative thinking methods. My suggestion is to send the youngsters to Brazil and then recruit the local academy players and they themselves to form a voluntary team to play against the youngsters. Every game starts at 1:0 with a young footballer, and if you win, you get a prize, and if you draw, you don't get a penny.
As we all know, many children in Brazil are trained while working, such as Judson in Taishan, Shandong Province, and Gabriel Jesus. In order to get the prize money, these children in Brazil will definitely attack the young football players like crazy, and the young football players will be able to withstand the training. In short, if people don't take you to play, you either find a way to join or start anew. In comparison, it is more cost-effective to start from scratch.
