5 representatives of the four cities champion teams from the Douyin Suzhou Station Open Selection Tournament and the Suzhou University Team, the winning team of the Suzhou University League. At 9:30 a.m., Beckham smiled and appeared at the meeting on time in a dark suit, greeting the fans and staff cordially, and the atmosphere on the scene was ignited. At the event, the player representatives taught Beckham to speak "Come on Suzhou" in Suzhou dialect and invited him to customize the signature of the jersey for the Douyin Football Carnival Suzhou Station. Although it is difficult to learn, Beckham still seriously said "Come on Suzhou" in a not-so-fluent Suzhou dialect, which suddenly narrowed the distance with everyone and encouraged the players present. Afterwards, the player representatives opened their hearts and talked about their excitement when they saw Beckham and their little things on the football road. Beckham listens to every story with a smile and encourages everyone to move forward bravely on the road to football in the future.

"I didn't sleep well last night to meet Beckham." Yang Weiwei, a player from Zhangjiagang Soviet Super League football team, is a grassroots football coach who once represented the team to win the China C championship and the China League Two championship. Since he started to get involved in football, he has been fascinated by Beckham's "Bay's arc". At the meeting, he also showed Xiao Bei a 30-second clip of the team's highest qualifiers. Currently, Yang Weiwei is responsible for teaching young players aged 8-9. He said that after he goes back, he will share his experience today with the children, frame the signature jerseys and place them in the club, and encourage children to strive forward like Beckham and never give up.

Chen Shaoqiang from Soochow University is also a big Beckham fan. He knew that Beckham did not come from the Internet, but through his mother's narration, whose handsome appearance and superb ball skills sowed a soccer seed for Chen Shaoqiang when he was a child. Later, he embarked on the road of football and was admitted to Suzhou University as a sports student. During the three years of school, Chen Shaoqiang participated in various college leagues and amateur competitions. He sincerely sighed: "Suzhou's sports environment is great, from folk to professional, there are all kinds of competitions."

Today, Chen Shaoqiang brought photos of himself in Real Madrid youth training camp and introduced his team and his determination to win to Beckham. Chen Shaoqiang was deeply inspired when he met his idol Beckham. He said he would work hard to win the championship of the TikTok Carnival Suzhou Station. In addition to being a member of Suzhou University, Chen Shaoqiang is also a member of Suzhou team of Jiangsu Urban Football League. In the next round, they are about to face Lianyungang team. Chen Shaoqiang admitted that he was under pressure, but at the same time he was full of confidence in winning the game. "We aim to win the first victory and have made sufficient preparations. On June 15, we will score three points!"
