to. hear my mother was assuring her that my. t.v. the. good teacher from clown. school. sure got caught . up. right here. although she sat in the. my mother. whom. we sure. did look at one hundred fifty two bombers who. keep pressure. she says she. lives with his parents and a one room house on the outskirts of town. it gets cold in the winter there's not much in the why of mud comes. why this is due to a little look at the. boltons

mother. sos for an income the family has to get by on seventy dollars a month well below the household average even in this part of china. is dad. looks for casual work on building sites. you should see that. you can. have. had them on the air to such an attack. was theirs. there was a and there was. a cat balla that

was very dangerous. i now see runs in they are going to be are doing is the man behind the genius squads here and a grassroots pioneer he's made this small town famous throughout china for the quality of its young stock appliance. for the past thirteen years he's been raising money to train and send more than eighty players to clubs across the country. because. every help the. one hard. for thought. could work with the idea. to hold your start off with a. but . i hope i don't you don't you know pay off. the whole

kind of my funeral tree at the church replied john three. zero zero zero zero zero. zero. zero zero. zero zero you. can a kind of hold on what he told you are so you hope for which i. that's what i do after that i walk out to the car that time do what hurdle you have to let all of. you walk out of three i see two point two of. which were to show for. what. nobody in the political. i think. you know what. does that article about. what are the one who took

a view of how thirty to forty what her walk together to figure out we are. the government plan is to have fifty million ply is it fifty thousand coaching schools within the next ten years and for china to be a world soccer superpower by twenty fifteen. things around for a group of german coaches to help train the older students as well as talent spot. sebastian ross and the coaches are on their first trip to joe down and they change a spot young players who could one day train with them in europe. i sing the potential you will have asked of fifteen minutes but if i want to see in which direction can go later on it's great to have different stations to see him dribbling shooting running a few. move around and a little game after one or you know that's

a boy you can't put you out of forward in or. let me not go for fun. in the last few years there's been a rush of european football schools to china and i sides feel lifting the game standard here is something china can do on and sign. i think a lot of new companies or schools will look at sudan and really copy it because they started a good cross check and now you can spread it out but from my point a few it's really important for them to console twist european clubs or schools where they have the experience bring them in let it explain let them. build up coaches here john and they could start. but what's really amazing about all this is that these coaches have bypassed cities like by aging in

shanghai to come here so what really is a very out of the why remote town it just shows that those in the know think that this here is the future of chinese football. not that the students themselves saying that interested in the home grown lee. well listen i can only do this with omega only you knew your me oh you know me are you going to go on the day. that old old. boss posse with me is similar to a condom or legard to want to join char don't tell the sunny council my idea as a child i was young we can't. let my account.

from the cold mountains and you know down more than a thousand kilometers to the east it's nanjing a bustling city million. here astray and transcends bre is already living in the chinese football dream. he's one of the staff foreign players for the local club. if you ask me to and that's the thing here too is if he's taken to some of the local customs. officials it's a really cold day or it's been chucking it down outside come and sought in this way . was very briefly yeah basically i mean the chinese are very certain their ways when it comes to the very same with a take a special off the training. yes there. is less enthusiasm other local cuisine and i tried duck tongue. here didn't last long.

it didn't last long for the way spaghetti bolognese got there on the on the menu the farm boys are basically happy. he was lured more than a year ago from a dutch club with a surprise offer on a two million dollar transfer fee to come to a city he'd never even thought about. of all places and i think this would have been in the top one hundred to be honest. china yeah i don't think i'd ever play in china to be honest there's always the english premier league is always the top target for everyone and then i'll see european legs. on is just exploded out of nowhere and it gives great opportunities for players like myself to set themselves up after football while still enjoying themselves. all right despite china never being on he's right friends making the most of the adventure. over there in price or trying so a cup of much as a culture is possible because you're not really going to get much of a chance to say that i lived in china so when the opportunity came we took it by

fans. his family has flown from perth for the first time to watch imply and the pressures are. likely the coach has been giving him less game time triggering speculation that he might be on the way out. to his club junge susu ning has no shortage of ambition or money it's only by a massive electronics group that a splash close to one hundred million dollars on big name imports in the past two years and it's not just spending in china soon in border talian super club into milan for three hundred eighty million dollars it was just one of a string of chinese tighe overs of european football clubs. overseas some smile. and for and around just same ridiculous but at the same time i mean if you want to make a statement and you want to get your name out to the public especially in europe it's what's necessary i guess and over here commoners can destroy as much much
