Gu Beichen is a former football commentator and now a private youth training coach.
He has a venomous mouth, a bad temper, and will not bow his head. Because he exposed the commercial youth training scam in public, he was scolded and trending on the Internet. That night, the training ground was closed, sponsorship was withdrawn, and the children no longer had a place to play football.
However, Gu Beichen led a dozen teenagers to dismantle the old goal and carry it into the abandoned parking lot.
"If there is no turf, just practice stopping the ball. If there are no lights, just practice reactions. If no one is optimistic about it, then play until they have to watch."
This grassroots youth team has no wealthy background, no top-notch equipment, and no beautiful resume. The team has a thin midfield genius, a winger who refuses to return to defense, a silent defender who was trained on the side of the construction site, and a short goalkeeper with a wrist injury.
They want to play football.
But what stands in front of them is the humiliation of the youth training academy, the difficulties made by the tournament organizers, the poaching of capital consortia, the smearing of media editing, and one unfair game after another.
Black whistle? Then ten people will still win.
Poaching? Then let the genius learn to pass the ball to his teammates.
Closed? Then turn the parking lot into a championship base.
Rules stuck? Then crucify themselves with rules.
From abandoned parking lots, to the Asian Qualifiers, to the World Junior Championships.
Gu Beichen led the Burning Star Youth Team to counterattack, breaking the script one game after another.
Until the heavy rain fell in the final, the whole world thought that this grassroots team had reached the end.
"They can take away the drums from the stands, but they can't take away the ball at your feet."
