Chapter 233: come on world cup

Latest website: "At ten o'clock this morning, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the 23-man squad for the World Cup in Spain and Portugal. This list includes three goalkeepers, eight defenders, eight midfielders and four forwards. Yes It is very balanced...Of course Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi are classified as midfielders. In fact, they can also play forwards when needed...
"The average age of the Chinese team in this World Cup is 27.9 years old. It is not the oldest team participating in the World Cup, nor is it the youngest. It belongs to the middle class. The average age of the Chinese team in the last World Cup was 26.7. The current Chinese team The oldest is thirty-six-year-old veteran Mao Junzheng, and the youngest is Qin Qi, who is only twenty years old.
"It's different from Shi Wuyin's lineup four years ago, old and young, lacking the Mesozoic. This Chinese team is almost the representative of the current Chinese football Mesozoic. There are as many as twelve players aged 26 to 29. After experiencing the experience of the Olympic Games and the first World Cup, they have grown into the pillars of Chinese football in their respective positions...and they will also play an important role in connecting the top and bottom in the next four years...Chinese football is It should be like this, generation after generation, the old lead the new, and continue...
"In addition to age, another change can be seen from the 23-man roster of this World Cup: In the roster of the World Cup four years ago, the Chinese team only had two overseas players who played abroad. —Hu Lai and Luo Kai. And now we have ten overseas players!
"From the World Cup in the United States and Canada in 2026 to the World Cup in Spain and Portugal in 2030, in the four years, more Chinese players have gone abroad to a broader stage. They have gained experience and growth in the European arena. They are the top ten players of the Chinese team. An important reason why the semi-finals were played so smoothly. This also fully shows that it is extremely correct and necessary for players to go abroad. Only by allowing more Chinese players to play in Europe and get in touch with the most advanced football can they feed back the country team.
"The World Cup will be held in our country four years later. Although the Chinese team will still participate in the qualifiers, the results will not be included in the ranking. We can already participate in three World Cups in a row. But after that? In another four years, At present, many of the twenty-three people may not have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup. We need to add more fresh blood, not just a Qin Qi. Therefore, we still need to continue to send players abroad. Continue to increase our combat effectiveness in the national team.
"I believe that I also hope that the Chinese team, which already has ten overseas players, can bring us more surprises in the World Cup this time!"

The dormitory building of the Flying Fish Island training base was noisy.
There were constant footsteps, knocking on the door and voices resounding in the corridor.
The nineteen-day national team training has ended.
All players have to leave the training base.
Those players already named to the 23-man roster have three days off.
Then they will meet in Lingnan City, bid farewell to the domestic fans, take a special plane to the training camp in Madrid, Spain, continue training there, and play a warm-up match against Wales at the same time.
That was the last warm-up match for the Chinese team before the start of the World Cup.
After playing, it's time to wait for the World Cup to start.
Players who were not selected for the World Cup squad will leave forever.
They even had to leave the Flying Fish Island training base before the teammates who had already been selected—after they left, all the players who were selected had to stay and have a meeting with the coaching staff.
Players who were not on the final roster began to pack their luggage, and after packing, they dropped by the door to bid farewell to their teammates.
The sound Qin Qi heard in the room now was the sound of his teammates saying goodbye to each other.
But his eyes were on Yao Huasheng in front of him.
"Do you know why you are number five?" Yao Huasheng asked.
Qin Qi shook his head: "I don't know. I thought Brother Wang would be number five..."
"I told Dillon that if I can't make the 23-man list, then I want to give you the number five."
Qin Qi's eyes widened in surprise.
"You are
what expression? "Yao Huasheng smiled. "It was the two of us who were competing for that spot. Since I can't go, I will give you my number. This number is given to you, and it is also my expectation for you. If you have the opportunity to play, perform well, but Don't be ashamed of this number."
Qin Qi quickly expressed his determination: "Team Yao, don't worry, you won't be ashamed if you say anything!"
Yao Huasheng was very satisfied with Qin Qi's statement. He patted Qin Qi on the shoulder with a smile: "Have you read everyone's comments on this list online?"
"I..." Qin Qi hesitated and shook his head, "No."
"Afraid of being scolded?"
Qin Qi quickly shook his head and denied it.
Seeing this, Yao Huasheng smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of. Others think that you rely on your father, so you slap them in the face with your performance on the field. Just like you did in the training camp and the game against the United States. Besides, you Dad's career is indeed very successful, it's there. Whether you like it or not, you can't change it. If you can't change it, then accept it. The central defender always has to face all kinds of pressure, even being scolded I'm afraid, what kind of central defender do you play?"
After speaking, Yao Huasheng pulled up his suitcase, turned around and walked towards the door.
Before opening the door, he turned to Qin Qi and said, "Come on, Xiao Qi."
After speaking, he opened the door and walked out.
Qin Qi came to his senses, chased to the door, and saw the bustling market-like corridor outside, all teammates pulling suitcases to bid farewell to others.
Team Yao is among them.
He was hugging Mao Junzheng who was coming up to him, and said to him: "Whether you can play or not, don't embarrass us old guy."
"En." Mao Junzheng nodded in response.
Then he waved to Lin Zhiyuan who was at the front door obliquely: "Shout more on the field, help direct the defense line."
"Don't worry, Team Yao! I'm here, don't call Humadu Yinshan!" Lin Zhiyuan patted his chest and replied loudly.
"Come on for the World Cup!" Yao Huasheng and Chen Xingyi standing in front of him clapped their hands.
When passing by Hu Lai, he raised his hand and rumpled Hu Lai's hair: "Look at you!"
Then he turned his head to Zhang Qinghuan on the other side and said, "Behave well, don't leave any regrets."
In the end, he walked up to Wang Guangwei, but he didn't say anything to his partner in the back line, he just stretched out his hand to grab his left arm and squeezed it hard.
Then he let go, continued to drag the suitcase, and walked towards the elevator.
Like those international players who were eliminated, Yao Huasheng, the former captain of the Chinese national team, bid farewell to the national team.
But unlike those other international players, this time it was a farewell - after announcing the 23-man list, he told everyone his decision in front of the whole team.
With immediate effect, he withdrew from the Chinese team. After this season, he will retire completely.
There was no testimonial, and no dedicated press conference.
The veteran captain who has fought the most times for the country has a record of playing for the Chinese team at 121 games.

With the departure of the international players who were not included in the 23-man list, the Flying Fish Island training base, which had been noisy for 19 days, also became deserted.
The training ground, which is always ringing with yells and whistles, is also quiet. There are even birds landing and walking and jumping on the lawn.
All the international players and coaches who are still in the training base are gathered in the meeting room at this time.
Yu Jintao translated Jorge Dillon's words to the team players:
"First of all, we have to determine one thing, and that is the captain of the team."
Dillon shook a captain's armband in his hand.
"Everyone knows that Yao Huasheng was not selected for this squad. And he has always been the captain of the team. So now we have to re-select the captain. Originally, the vice-captain of our team was Mao Junzheng. But according to Yao Huasheng Personal wishes, after he communicated with Mao Junzheng. He suggested..."
Dillon stopped here, and he waited for
Jin Tao translated all his words before speaking.
Yu Jintao also said this, and he turned to look at Dillon.
After receiving the signal, Dillon continued, "He suggested that Wang Guangwei be the captain of the team."
There was a murmur of uproar in the conference room.
Wang Guangwei himself was also surprised.
Then he suddenly realized why Captain Yao pinched his left arm when he said goodbye in the afternoon—he just put the captain's armband on his arm like that!
"King." Dillon hooked Wang Guangwei, "Come, come here."
Wang Guangwei got up and walked to Dilong.
The old man handed him the captain's armband: "Take it, Yao asked me to hand it over to you."
Wang Guangwei took the armband with both hands, as if the thin fabric strap was extremely heavy.
Everyone's eyes were also focused on the armband.
It is not actually the one worn by Yao Huasheng in the game, but everyone knows that it is the symbol of Team Yao.
Now this symbol has been handed over to Wang Guangwei.
But no one expressed dissent, or dissatisfied.
Everyone knows that although Wang Guangwei is not as famous as Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, and Zhang Qinghuan, and his overseas career is far less successful than those of his friends, he is worthy of the captain's armband.
Because the captain does not look at fame or honors, but who is more considerate of his teammates and who always puts the interests of the team first.
"Wang Guangwei is the captain, and Mao Junzheng is the vice-captain."
After selecting the captain, Dillon slapped his hands: "I still want to congratulate you for being selected to the final list. But you must also know that this does not mean that you will definitely be able to participate in the World Cup. You have three days of vacation next, and I hope you can Go home, spend time with your family, and relax. But be careful not to play too crazy. If you get injured during the holidays, I will still take you off the squad."
Everyone is nervous, and this is indeed something not to be taken lightly.
Seeing that everyone attached great importance to his opinions, Dillon smiled again: "Okay, take it easy. Three days later, on June 7th, I will be waiting for you in Lingnan. No one will be missing. .I'll take you to the World Cup!"
Hearing the head coach's words, Qin Qi's breathing became heavy, and the sadness of saying goodbye to Team Yao just now had been forgotten by him.
He doesn't want to go on vacation...
The vision of the World Cup occupied all his mind.
World Cup, come on, I'm ready!

PS, I really didn't expect Spain to get the same script as the Japanese team, and the penalty shootout can be so hip...
However, compared to the penalty shootout, what is even more hip is their performance in the previous 120 minutes. They are not like a strong team at all, but more like a rookie who is timid and struggling to reach the knockout round.
The opponent I picked, and the result is this performance, it is better to go home with the German team and give up the promotion spot to the brave Costa Rica.
Pass control pass control, more than a thousand passes, more than 70% of the ball possession rate, but there is not even a striker who can score goals, no matter how beautiful the pass control is, it is just a lullaby!
I feel that European football has followed Spain in recent years, focusing only on ball possession but ignoring scoring.
Today, however, the young Portuguese center forward Ramos told everyone how a center forward should play—they advanced to the small penalty area~EbookFREE.me~ and passed the ball? Of course it was a burst shot!
The match between Portugal and Switzerland was also something I didn't expect - I didn't expect the Portuguese coach to dare to put Ronaldo on the bench, and I didn't expect Portugal to win so easily.
Isn't Switzerland known for its good defense?
However, this shows the tactical significance of a striker with a strong ability to seize opportunities-as long as he can score first in the game, he can tear the opponent's defensive tactics to pieces, forcing the opponent to press out and play, so as to have more space loophole
Be exploited.
If the goal is not scored, the opponent will defend more and more confidently, eventually turning into a tug-of-war, and then Switzerland steals one, impatient and more chaotic.
The World Cup is truce for one day today, there is no game, everyone should take a good rest.
