The gate of Barcelona's training base is always full of people. These people are fans of art football. They come from all over the world, just like believers going to Mecca to worship, and come to worship the palace of art football.

They held up their cameras and phones that could take pictures, and couldn't wait to press the shutter frequently before entering the door, and then excitedly talked about Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta... Of course, Messi must not be missing. This young Argentine genius has captured the hearts of many fans with his superb skills.

But in fact, if they want to see the birthplace of artistic football, they don’t need to go to such a crowded first-team training ground.

On the other side of Aristides Street is the training grounds for Barcelona youth training camp La Macia.

Unlike the hundreds of fans around the first team, there are only a few people watching the training sessions of the youth team.

The atmosphere here is slightly different today.

Before the formal training time arrived, a white bus and three SUVs were parked on the side of the road where La Macia Football School was located.

"Aren't we going to La Macia? Why did we come to Camp Nou?" Zhou Yi got off the car and his eyes were naturally attracted by a magnificent stadium in front of him. This is the world-famous Barcelona football home stadium Camp Nou.

Not only Zhou Yi, but also everyone else got off the bus and looked at the Camp Nou not far ahead. It was so huge that people's eyes would be attracted by it.

Even He Ying turned his attention to Camp Nou, a little dazzled.

After all the young players got out of the car, Garcia, the technical director of Lamacia Football School.

He led everyone to the left and left Camp Nou.

"Welcome to Lamacia Football School!" Standing in front of a two-story building made of yellow stone, Garcia opened her hands to make a welcome look. At the same time, this action was proud to show everyone the small building behind him.

Unlike other teammates who were exclaiming in admiration, Zhou Yi curled his lips and said in disappointment: "This is Lamacia? Isn't this a farmhouse?"

On the way from the airport to the hotel, Zhou Yi and the others saw in the car that there was such a house in the farmland along the expressway. Some people said that this was a farmhouse with Catalan characteristics.

Zhou Yi didn't expect to see a farmhouse in the city of Barcelona.

He was indeed a little disappointed.

The famous Lamacia Football School is just a small building and a training ground? And it looks like it is still... artificial turf!

"In Catalan, the 'Macia' of 'La Macia' originally meant as a farm." He Ying, who came down behind him, couldn't help but retort when he heard Zhou Yi's contemptuous tone.

He was not surprised by the true face of Lamacia in front of him. He had obviously done an investigation and was prepared.

"Uh, okay..." Zhou Yi spread his hands.

Later he learned that the book He Ying was always holding was a Catalan textbook. He Ying studied Catalan so seriously and seemed to be determined to enter Barcelona to play football. He is a "brainless fan" in Barcelona.

Garcia didn't understand Chinese, so she didn't know what Zhou Yi said to his teammates, and her attention was not on these young players. After introducing the landmark building of Lamacia Football School, he took everyone to visit the interior of the building.

This is also part of the reality show.

Garcia took everyone to visit Lamacia Football School. On the slightly yellowed white wall of the restaurant, there were many photos of players hanging. They looked very immature in the photos, but they had long been world-renowned superstars, some were still in service, and some had retired.

For example, there is a group photo taken in 1988. Twenty children all had long hair that was popular at the time. One of them was thin and has now become the head coach of Barcelona's first team, Guardiola. In this photo, there are two other people, Artimilla and Biranova, who are now assistant coaches of the first team.

"Barcelona has entered a cycle." Garcia said proudly when introducing the characters in these photos to Chinese guests.

Although Barcelona's league championships were snatched away by their rival Real Madrid in the first two seasons, this could not affect the pride of Barcelona's youth training personnel. In terms of youth training, they have indeed surpassed Real Madrid's Rafablica.

The Chinese young players followed the tour intently and carefully observed the photos on the wall what the superstar looked like today in the childhood.

Some are purely curious, while others are with the mentality of a pilgrim.

Zhou Yi, who was purely curious, looked around and found that Guo Nu's expression was a little strange, and his body was still trembling slightly. He couldn't help but pat the other party's shoulder: "Hey, Lao Guo, what are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, this action scared Guo. He turned his head and glared at Zhou Yi. He did not answer Zhou Yi's question, but continued to sweep the photos with a pilgrimage-like gaze.

Zhou Yi suddenly realized: "So you are a supporter of Barcelona!"

"So what?" Guo Nu said badly, but not angry, but... he was a little shy, as if he was a little embarrassed after he knew his support partner.

"Uh, it's not very good..." Zhou Yi raised his hand.

Guo ignored him and continued to look at the superstars in the photos, one by one who met the famous people nowadays.

Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Fabregas, Pique...he has all found it.

While looking for it, Guo Nu began to fantasize in his mind that if he could enter the youth team in Barcelona... Then in a few years, would his photos appear on this wall?

All these Chinese young players hope to impress the coaches of the wealthy youth training camp they challenged through their outstanding performance in the game, so that they can enter the youth teams of the wealthy clubs they favor, and thus realize their dream of studying abroad.

Guo Nu obviously also hopes that he can perform well in the game and get the opportunity to stay in La Macia.

Just as Guo Nu was looking forward to this bright future, Zhou Yi's voice was like coming from another plane, bringing him back to reality.

"You want to hang it on the wall, Lao Guo?"

Guo angri glanced at Sun Pan and found that Sun Pan was staring at him. So he suppressed the anger of being interrupted by someone's dream, gritted his teeth and asked, "So what?"

"It's good to have lofty ideals, Lao Guo. But should we find a way to play the game first..." Zhou Yi patted Guo Nu's shoulder and sighed in a tone of mutual sympathy.

When Guo Nu heard this, he couldn't get angry. Instead, he looked like a deflated ball, and his body shrank... making him, who was not tall, shorter.

The main lineup of the "Chinese team" of sixteen people is fixed and not a secret. Although head coach Hao Dong has not announced the starting lineup for this afternoon's game, the fool knows which eleven people are playing.

Guo Nu has been playing as a substitute during the domestic training camp, and it is absolutely impossible for him to get a starting chance in this game unless a miracle happens.

But Guo Nu didn't believe in miracles. If there was a miracle, could he be ten centimeters tall first?

Like Guo Nu, there is also Zhou Yi, who is known as the "weakest among the sixteen people".

So his tone of compassion for the same illness is definitely not pretending. He is really compassion for the same illness as Guo Nu!

Two substitutes.

Compared to Guo Nu's daydream that was completely fantasy, looking at He Ying, who also looked at the photos of the superstars when they were young, the yearning in his eyes might be more real.

Just when Guo Nu was still feeling sad and bored because he couldn't play the game, He Ying was already 100% sure of the main force. As a striker, he was also the person who was most likely to make a big splash in the game and attracted the attention of Lamacia's youth training coach.

With his strength, if anyone of this "Chinese team" is most likely to go to Lamacia, it must be him.

※※※

The visit ended quickly because I was just wandering around a two-story building.

This small building is what everyone calls "La Macia", which includes a restaurant, six bedrooms, a library and a computer room. You can finish it quickly.

After all, this small building was originally used as a dormitory for echelon players, not as a comprehensive building for training bases, and its scale is naturally limited.

So in this sense, Zhou Yi’s first impression of Lamacia was correct.

It's indeed a place of the same size as a farmhouse.

After visiting Lamacia, the young players came to the training ground of the youth team.

Just opposite this small building, walking through a gentle slope, it is the training ground.

It was already 4:30 pm. The sun was hanging in the west sky. The sunlight shone down, casting a huge shadow on the training ground, occupying nearly half of the area of ​​the training ground.

This huge shadow comes from a larger building next to the training ground.

Everyone looked up at it, this is the home court of the world-renowned Barcelona football team, the UEFA five-star certified Camp Nou Stadium!

Even though they saw it just after getting off the car, they still couldn't help but turn their eyes to it now.

This is Camp Nou. Its huge and majestic body fills everyone's vision and hits you out of sight, making you avoid it and can only accept the visual and spiritual impact it brings to you.

This famous football field is only more than ten meters away from the training ground of Lamacia Football School.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by Camp Nou, Garcia said: "Our home court and training ground are so close, which makes it easier for us to motivate the young players to gain momentum by looking up at the stadium."

Zhou Yi put the shoulder of Guo Nu next to him and said to Guo Nu who was looking up at Camp Nou with a pilgrimage expression: "Old Guo, it seems that you are not far from Camp Nou, just a big foot! Ha!"

Guo Nu was in the mood to joke with him, gave him a blank look, and said nothing.

He continued to look at Camp Nou. It was clearly in the shadow, but the slightly anxious face seemed to be able to burst out with holy light...

Seeing him like this, Zhou Yi couldn't continue to joke with him.

Even people who are not optimistic in the whole world have the right to dream.
