Chapter 397: America's Cup Again

"I am the national youth coach (
The original world qualifiers were postponed to 2021.
They will play against the Maldives and Guam respectively in March 2021.
Then came May, and played against the Philippines and Syria.
He hasn't coached for nearly a year. After re-leading the national team, Li Long was very excited.
Even if the opponent's strength is not strong, the China team won all the four games.
The Huaxia team successfully advanced to the third stage, getting closer and closer to participating in the World Cup.
Although he has not led the team for a long time, Li Long did not stop training.
Although the triple training card was not used, it still improved the players a lot.
It's June, and Li Long will lead the China team and be invited to participate in the America's Cup.
This time the two teams invited by the America's Cup are China and Australia.
And unlike the last America's Cup, the last one was divided into three groups.
This is not the case for this America's Cup, this time there are only two teams.
Each group has six teams, single round-robin points system, and the top four of each group advance to the quarter-finals.
The host Argentina team and Colombia team are in different groups, and the China team is divided into group B.
This is the Colombian team, with Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru in the same group.
Next, Li Long needed to formulate a big list, and soon announced the list of 23 people:
Goalkeepers: 1 Hou Xiaopeng (Tianjin Teda) (78 points), 13 Xia Bin (Chongqing Lifan) (75 points), 20 Ding Zheng (Shanghai Shenhua) (73 points);
Defenders: 5 Qiu Hailong (Lille) (77 points), 15 Shiyang (Portimão) (78 points), 3 Lin Tianjun (Hoffenheim) (79 points), 4 Zhao Wenchao (Dijon) (77) Points), 18 Deng Guoxing (Portimão) (76 points), 23 Luo Huaze (Guangzhou Hengda) (78 points), 2 Zhang Ran (Monchengladbach) (81 points), 16 Cui Yang (Boll Timang) (72 points);
Midfielder: 12 Bai Yi (Real Sociedad) (82 points), 21 Luo Zhe (The Hague) (73 points), 10 Wei Jiafeng (Real Madrid) (84 points), 8 Chi Ruofei (Burnley) (79 points) , 6 Liu Yuchang (Atlanta) (79 points), 14 Ji Kai (Jiangsu Suning) (74 points), 7 Qin Lunhao (Bayern Munich) (79 points), 22 Cui Dongzhen (Guangzhou Evergrande) (79 points);
Forwards: 9 Cai Jian (Liverpool) (84 points), 11 Cao Haoyi (Inter Milan) (83 points), 19 Tian Runtao (Leipzig Red Bull) (82 points), 17 Yuan Yunyue (Vidis) (75 points).
Li Long looked at the Chinese team's roster, suddenly full of morale.
Compared with the Huaxia team two years ago, the overall strength has improved a lot.
And the lineup is getting more and more perfect, this Huaxia team can hardly find any shortcomings.
Li Long led the Huaxia team to Colombia to prepare for the next Copa America.
In fact, in comparison, the strength of Group B is indeed weaker.
Only the old rivals Colombia and Brazil are very strong. On the other hand, in Group A, there are Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.
But Li Long will not take a fluke, because this time Li Long’s goal is bigger than the last Copa America.
After all, the America's Cup two years ago was the first time to be invited to participate.
With so many South American teams competing on the same stage, Li Long holds a learning attitude even more.
However, it is different now. This time Li Long is aiming at fame.
Li Long hopes to get a better result than the previous Copa America.
Although that is the case, in the last America's Cup, the China team also got third place.
This time, Li Long hopes that he can hit the championship.
The opponent of the China team in the first round was the Ecuador team.
Ecuador is not considered a strong team, but its strength is definitely not weak.
There are several players with great potential in the team, such as left-back Estupinian.
He joined Watford as early as 2017, but his strength at the time was unable to establish a football team.
So he has always been on loan, and he has never even played at Watford.
He left Watford on the transfer and joined Villarreal in La Liga.
He is a relatively versatile full-back, but his ability to play is very poor.
But as a defender, it's understandable that he can't shoot.
Then there is winger Gonzalo Plata, currently playing for Portuguese sports in the Portuguese Super League.
He is a post-00 player and he is only 20 years old now.
He is a key player in Portuguese sports and has a strong ability to dribble.
Unfortunately, his passing ability needs to be improved, and his physical fitness is considered his disadvantage.
Although the America's Cup has not yet started, the China Team has received a lot of attention.
In the last America's Cup, the performance of the China Team was surprising.
In the end, he won the third place, so many media are looking forward to the performance of the China Team.
And compared to two years ago, this Chinese team is undoubtedly stronger.
The lineup on paper is already amazing.
Real Madrid’s Wei Jiafeng, Bayern Munich’s Qin Lunhao, Liverpool’s Cai Jian, and Inter Milan’s Cao Haoyi.
There are a total of four players playing for the European giants.
And there are several more promising players.
For example, the Portimão left guard Shi Yang ~EbookFREE.me~ has performed amazingly after joining the team.
Fans once called out and thought of Qiu Hailong.
But they soon discovered that they were wrong, and Shi Yang's performance was better than Qiu Hailong's back then.
It also allowed him to get the attention of many five major league teams.
This time at the America's Cup, Shi Yang is also full of fighting spirit.
I hope to show all my abilities, taking advantage of this Copa America, maybe it can attract the attention of strong teams.
Then there is the central defender Luo Huaze, who currently plays for Guangzhou Evergrande in the Super League.
It stands to reason that no European teams will notice him, but he still surprised many European scouts.
As a Chinese, Luo Huaze is too strong.
After being promoted to the first team, he slowly became the team's main center back.
However, the referees of the Super League are well known that Luo Huaze's strength has become his shortcoming.
Sometimes, because the opponent lost to Luo Huaze in the confrontation, he was directly awarded by the referee.
This time, Luo Huaze was very frustrated, and his performance got the attention of the head coach of the National Youth Team.
So he became the defensive core of the National Youth Team and the captain of the National Youth Team.
In the game against European teams, he completely handles the advantage physically.
Also because of the games with these teams, let Europe know the player Luo Huaze.
And Guangzhou Evergrande has been very keen to send players overseas in recent years.
I even thought about letting Cui Dongzhen stay abroad, but Cui Dongzhen really didn't want to stay abroad, so he stopped.
Yang Liyu and Wei Shihao's study abroad ended up still dead.
This time is different. Luo Huaze is very yearning for Europe and hopes to go to a higher level league.
