Chapter 15: Mexico World Championship

After the friendly match between the Chinese National Team and the Japanese National Team, the two teams will soon go to Mexico to participate in the World Junior Championships.
The Japanese team at least knows that if they want to make a difference in the World Junior Championships, then if they encounter the Chinese team in the knockout round, it will be a challenge full of difficulties!
The national team took a rest in Tokyo after the game, and the flight back to China was at night, which allowed them to have a daytime to stroll around Tokyo.
Most players form a group to visit Tokyo. They are naturally not interested in shopping areas such as Shinjuku and Ginza. A group of young people form a team to visit Shibuya, which is also the area with the most young people in Tokyo, and is a young fashion culture in Japan. Birthplace.
Zhao Hanchun and Luo Hongkai wanted to go to Nihonbashi for a round trip, but they couldn't hold back Liu Taosheng and dragged them to Akihabara with Zhang Binyi.
It is full of games and anime-themed shops. It is definitely a paradise for the soft side of Liu Tao's spiritual world!
When they arrived at Tokyo International Airport with their luggage in the evening, Yang Zhen was anxiously pacing back and forth in the waiting hall, asking Van der Hill from time to time.
Because Tang Hong has left the team since the game yesterday, and he hasn't appeared yet!
Van der Hill appeared to be very calm, the big deal is to leave Tang Hong in Tokyo, he can definitely return home by himself.
Zhang Binyi feels very sorry for wasting the day in Akihabara today.
He cried and complained to Zhao Hanchun and Luo Hongkai: "I was out of the country for the first time, and I had a rare opportunity to learn more about some famous places, but it was wasted like this!
Can you talk about Liu Tao, he is also a tough guy with a back, and being addicted to the second element is not in line with his temperament! "
Zhao Hanchun sternly said: "Shut up, you are not allowed to speak ill of Liu Tao in front of me!
Otherwise, I will follow along without knowing it! "
Luo Hongkai looked at Liu Tao, who was content, and remembered the depression of being dragged away by him without even eating early in the morning. He also angrily said: "He is a naive man. If you don't eat breakfast today, love has nothing to do with him. Depressed all day long!
Oops, I didn't know I wanted to speak ill of him.
Zhang Binyi, you better stop talking! "
Zhang Binyi was dumbfounded and gave up the right to defend himself.
Zhao Hanchun suddenly looked out of the airport lobby, and a pair of young men and women got out of the taxi.
It is Tang Hong and Cheng Hai Youmei.
Just as Luo Hongkai was about to walk to lead Tang Hong, Zhao Hanchun grabbed him, winking at him with an ambiguous expression, and Luo Hongkai suddenly realized that he stared at the outside of the airport intently.
Cheng Hai Youmei looked like a charming woman from cute today, her cheeks rosy.
She gently held Tang Hong's hand, although she felt a little bit reluctant, she still looked at Tang Hong freely and freely, with a touching smile on her face, and said: "Tang Hong, I can only accompany you for a thousand miles. From then on I don't even ask about wind, moon and sun.
Last night and today are my best memories. "
Tang Hong raised his hand and stroked her face, smiling softly: "I didn't hurt the spring and autumn for you, and there is no regret. You didn't accompany me to travel thousands of miles, not enough plot to continue our story.
You remember the story of time, but I will remember you, you are the most beautiful innocence. "
Luo Hongkai and Zhao Hanchun in the airport lobby were attentive, watching the never-hearted goodbye between Tang Hong and Cheng Haiyoumei, Yang Zhen noticed the strangeness between them, and followed his gaze to trot over to bring Tang Hong in.
As a result, he just ran a step and stopped again, turning around awkwardly.
Zhao Hanchun and Luo Hongkai exclaimed together!
Wow!
The others were attracted, turned their heads, and saw Tang Hong and Cheng Hai Youmei kissing goodbye outside the hall.
Cheng Haiyoumei watched Tang Hong turn around and walked into the airport lobby from outside the airport, took her backpack from Liu Tao, and then went to check in with her partners.
Until his back disappeared, Cheng Haiyoumei had a blessed smile on her face.
After boarding the plane, Tang Hong closed his eyes and rested in his seat.
Zhao Hanchun licked her face and leaned over to him and asked, "How does it feel to say goodbye to a virgin?"
Tang Hong didn't open his eyes, and said lightly: "Do you think I forgot to throw you and Luo Hongkai to talk about the cross talk?"
Zhao Hanchun's expression instantly solidified, and then turned his head and smiled at the curious teammates around him: "Don't join in the fun, and don't be envious. If you want to find someone, please give me a hundred yuan, and give me a hundred yuan Tell me his name, and I will let you know what a is and it won’t help you!"
The people around laughed for a moment and then died down.
Tang Hong was indeed resting, remembering Cheng Hai Youmei in his mind, but he knew it would be difficult for the two to meet again in the future.
As for the virgin in Zhao Hanchun's mouth, Tang Hong has not had this concept for more than 20 years.
......
The Chinese national team returned to Tianhai, and the preparation work before going to Mexico was relatively easy. Van der Hill usually has high requirements for the team's training volume, so that the players continue to push the limit, but the game is just the opposite. To start to reduce the amount of training, for fear that the players will be abolished, or the competition will not be able to come up with the best state.
At the same time, according to the grouping situation of the Chinese team, it is also necessary to get to know the opponent in advance.
The Mexico World Cup, which can also be called the FIFA-U17 World Cup, has 24 teams and 6 teams.
You can see the presence of many traditional strong teams. Europe has fewer places than the World Cup. After all, there are only 24 teams in the U17 World Cup, not 32 like the World Cup.
Group A: Mexico, South Korea, Congo, Netherlands.
Group B: France, Argentina, Japan, Jamaica.
Group C: England, Uruguay, Rwanda, Canada.
Group D: Czech Republic, United States, China, New Zealand.
Group E: Germany, Ecuador, Burkina Faso, Panama.
Group F: Brazil, Denmark, Ivory Coast, Australia.
The top two in each group advance to the top 16, which is 12 teams.
There are also 4 top-performing groups that advance to the top 16 in third place.
It can be said that it is not difficult to qualify in the World Junior Championships. As long as the performance is not too bad, one victory plus one draw can basically ensure promotion to the top 16.
If you look at the World Championship from a traditional perspective, you must be biased. After all, this is only the U17 World Cup. If it is not a traditional power, the U17 echelon must be strong.
Just like the past three World Junior Championships were Mexico in 2005, Nigeria in 2007, and Switzerland in 2009.
Except for Mexico's appearance on the World Junior Championships as the host this time, the 2007 and 2009 champions failed to advance to this year's World Junior Championships!
And like the 2008 European Cup and 10-year World Cup champion Spain, their U17 echelon also failed to advance to this World Championship!
So it's hard to say that the Chinese team got a good lottery. Maybe it's a dangerous lottery lottery.
When the time came to early June, Tang Hong and Yang Zhen had a disagreement on the list of travellers.
The list of players has long been finalized, but Tang Hong requested that the Chinese team must bring their own chef team to Mexico this time.
Yang Zhen thinks this is a fuss. Tang Hong said to him without giving up: "I don't know your opinion on modern football, but I can make my point clear. The first point is that we must be responsible for our own diet. If we I went abroad without the chef, and drank beverages containing prohibited elements without knowing it. Can you imagine the impact on our players if the urine test fails?
Furthermore, I can imagine that when we go to Mexico, we must be looking for healthy food that suits our appetite as much as possible.
Why do you want to be far away? We can clearly solve this problem.
It is safe and trouble-free.
I think there are only four things for players in the competition.
Healthy and nutritious diet.
Reasonable and adequate rest.
Enthusiastic and serious training.
An all-out game.
Among these four things, in addition to the game, the other three things require you leaders who travel with the team to create the best conditions for the players to the best of their ability.
If you are not concerned about these things, what are you going to do? "
Yang Zhen no longer regarded Tang Hong as an underage child who was about to reach 18 years old. Tang Hong's insight and vision made him full of praise.
In this matter, Yang Zhen only struggled a little.
"Tang Hong, I don't object to our own chef, but I don't want a girl in the chef. This is not discrimination or prejudice. I just don't want the players to be distracted."
If Tang Hong took three male chefs to go abroad instead of Sun Rou, the chief executive, he could have predicted that Sun Rou would be cold at him for at least a month after his return.
Moreover, in terms of diet, Sun Rou is indeed capable of leading the three male chefs, because the strengths of the three are in cooking skills, but Sun Rou's strength is in nutrition, reasonable diet arrangements, and almost every meal The menu is prepared by her and will be adjusted according to the season and weather.
When Tang Hong wants to take Sun Rou to Mexico, his selfishness is only a very small part, and more of it is business.
He shook his head to Yang Zhen and said: "Your statement is not valid. I know what you are worried about. We are a group of young men who are about to explode hormones, but there are female team doctors in other teams. Why are they not worried about you?
I think there are some things that are calmer and have better results than treating them as scourges. "
Yang Zhen knew that he could not persuade Tang Hong. He did not want to widen his disagreements as soon as he went to war. It is best to eliminate all disagreements.
He finally agreed.
Tang Hong asked Sun Rou to prepare for going abroad.
On June 8th, two days before the expedition, the team had a holiday. After all, this trip to a foreign country took as little as half a month, and as long as it may be more than a month, the players need to go home and reunite with their families.
This afternoon is the day for the team to gather. Tomorrow morning they will head to Shanghai and fly from Shanghai to Mexico.
A sumptuous dinner was prepared in the villa, and the players who had been apart for less than two days gathered at the table as if there were endless topics to talk about.
When Tang Honggang was sitting on the main seat and preparing to eat dinner, his phone rang suddenly, and he saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
After answering, he was very surprised.
After hanging up the phone, he got upstairs and took the car key to go out. Sun Rou was surprised when she saw Tang Hong going out by the kitchen door. She stomped and turned back to the kitchen to turn off the fire. There were two more for him. You don’t need to prepare the dishes!
Driving a BMW motorcycle to a famous high-end western restaurant in the city.
Tang Hong really did not expect that Bai Mu would invite him to dinner.
