Academy Registration Channel Opens

At the press conference, a reporter took the microphone.
"I am a reporter from Huaxia Provincial Sports News. I would like to ask, what is the number of students selected in the first batch for the Nan City Chelsea Football Academy?"
This question was also crucial.
Many parents watching the live broadcast of the press conference perked up their ears.
A large quota meant greater opportunities.
A small quota meant high requirements.
Some parents who wanted to send their children to the school naturally hoped for as many spots as possible, preferably unlimited.
While other parents were very confident in their children's physical condition, hoping for as few spots as possible.
The fewer spots, the more educational resources their children could receive, and the easier it would be for them to succeed.
This question was answered by Executive Vice Principal Xu Gen Bao.
"Our Nan City Chelsea Football Academy is different from other football academies in the country; it does not have three divisions for primary, junior high, and senior high school."
"Instead, it is based on the Chelsea Club's youth training system, establishing age-based stratification rules."
"Among them, for the U9 and U10 age groups, each batch will recruit 2000 students."
"For U11 and U13, each batch will recruit 1000 students."
"For U15 and U17, each batch will recruit 500 students."
As soon as Xu Gen Bao finished speaking, the comment section and messages on the online live platform quickly overflowed.

"Ah?
So few spots?"
"Only 7000 students in total?
How can this be enough for everyone?"
"Is it too few?"
"Yes, I suggest increasing the quota."
"What are you guys joking about?
This is a professional football academy; 7000 students is not a small number at all."
"That's right, even if calculated at a 1% success rate, 70 Long Nation male football players could compete in the five major leagues. Can you imagine that scene?"
"With Chelsea's professional youth training system, the success rate absolutely cannot be just 1%."
"That calculation seems correct, 70 Long Nation male football players with official strength in the five major leagues?
Oh my god, just thinking about it makes my head spin."
"The soaring enthusiasm of parents is a good thing; this way, new admissions can prioritize selecting the most outstanding individuals. I really look forward to what Long Nation male football will be like in one or two years."
"Damn, when you say that, my blood boils."

Once the school's enrollment quota was announced, it sparked heated discussion on the internet.
For a professional football academy, such an enrollment quota was not small.
But it couldn't withstand the fact that after a period of promotion and momentum-building, the number of parents wanting to send their children to the school was too large.
Given the population base of Long Nation, even a very small fraction of interested parents would be enough to far exceed the enrollment quota.
Many anxious parents, upon receiving this news, immediately planned to bring their children to Nan City.

At the press conference, a blonde, blue-eyed foreign female reporter received the microphone.
"I am a reporter from French Football Magazine. My question is for Mr. Fernando."
"Mr. Fernando, what were your considerations for coming to Long Nation this time to serve as the principal of the football academy?"
"Will Chelsea Club's rapid deployment of plans in Long Nation affect the balance of the five major leagues?"
Upon hearing this female reporter's question, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.
This question was quite targeted.
If Fernando didn't answer well, he might be fabricated by unscrupulous media, thereby affecting many matters.
Fernando was also an experienced person.
He smiled at the female reporter and calmly and composedly replied:
"My visit to Long Nation this time, to serve as the principal of the football academy, was a decision I made after careful consideration, following an invitation from the Huaxia Long Nation Provincial Government and the Nan City Municipal Government."
"As for whether it will affect the balance of the five major leagues?"
"I'm sorry, I cannot answer this question."
"After all, who can clearly speak of the future?"

Fernando pushed all the reasons for his arrival onto the provincial and municipal governments.
These were the lines Xu Jie had taught him.
According to Xu Jie, no matter where the media reporters were from, it was not easy to deal with the various levels of the Long Nation government.
The truth about Chelsea secretly making a fortune was something they knew themselves.
If it were brought up and discussed every day, it would inevitably attract jealousy.
As for affecting the balance of the five major leagues?
In fact, Fernando understood clearly in his heart that this was something that would inevitably happen in the future.
But he couldn't answer directly and easily give others an excuse.
This blonde, blue-eyed female reporter intended to press further, but the experienced host quickly passed the microphone to the next reporter.

Xu Jie sat below the stage, watching everything unfold, and shrugged.
It seemed that quite a few people in Europe had some opinions about Fernando taking on the role of the first principal.
Xu Jie thought about it; this was also normal.
If all the benefits were monopolized by Chelsea, then other clubs would unite to attack.
The female reporter's question, on the contrary, reminded Xu Jie.
It seemed it was time to send some gifted young players to the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A... those places.
Previously, when Chu Xiao Ran suddenly emerged, Xu Jie had established contact with many clubs.
It was not easy for him to balance the relationships and interests between all parties.
......

After the press conference concluded, Xu Jie returned to the school grounds.
The registration for this year's inter-school singing competition had closed.
The Talented Group had made it onto the list.
Registration for the Sports Festival was also about to close.
Under the strenuous efforts of the homeroom teachers, many new students who originally wanted to participate for fun had canceled their registrations.
If they had truly followed an unrestricted registration method.
The 100-meter, 200-meter, and 800-meter events in the Sports Festival would have at least three or four hundred participants.
How could the Sports Festival be held normally then?
......

At 11:00 PM on September 26th.
At Zhui Sheng Nan City Internet Technology Company, over eighty employees were all at their posts.
In addition, there were more than 30 technical staff temporarily transferred by the boss from other companies.
Everyone was ready for battle, awaiting the arrival of midnight.
At exactly 0:01 AM, the registration channel for the Nan City Chelsea Football Academy would officially open.
To provide a good internet environment for the vast number of enthusiastic parents and students.
To demonstrate the hardware strength of the Nan City Chelsea Football Academy to the vast number of netizens.
Everyone present here was highly focused.
As the time approached, website traffic suddenly surged.
Backend data soared like a rocket.
Tonight was destined to be an unquiet night.
On the Long Nation continent.
Countless parents, for the first time, showed such soaring enthusiasm for the enrollment registration of a professional football academy.
