Chapter 206: Biggest card


Li Chenglong returned to Scotland, planning to rest in Dundee for a few days, and then play with Southgate, ready to go to Turkey to participate in the World Youth Championship.
Back in Scotland, Old John was happy again, because he added a golden boot trophy and a championship gold medal to his collection shelf.
Now, Li Chenglong is accustomed to keeping the personal honors given to him by old John. No matter what the golden boot trophy, the best trophy, the gold medal, the silver medal or even the bronze medal, they are all handed over to the old John for safekeeping.
Old John is also very attentive to this job. He has specially upgraded the security system at home to prevent these things from being stolen.
Of course, the money comes from Li Chenglong.
During Dundee, Lee Chenglong also made appointments with two old teammates, Vardy and Robertson, to go to the beach to sunbathe.
"Bruce, wait a minute, we will meet in the Champions League next season." Vardy is still talking about it.
"Jamie, let's wait until you have played the qualifying round."
"Don't worry, we will definitely make it to the race."
This year Dundee United, under the leadership of Vardy and Robertson, although they could not compete with the Celtics, they still won a second place in the Soviet Super League and qualified for the Champions League next season.
But as Jackie Lee said, whether they can pass the qualifying round is still the same thing, and even if they pass, they may not be able to meet Schalke in the race.

After a good rest in Dundee, Jackie Lee set off for London to meet Southgate.
In order to prepare for the World Youth Championship, Southgate has already led the team to train in London.
And the other players of this U20 England team have already arrived, only Lee Chenglong arrived last.
Lee Chenglong is currently the team's biggest player, a bit of privilege and normal.
"Bruce, you are finally here." When Southgate saw Lee Chenglong, as if he had seen the backbone, he came up to give him a big hug.
After a series of outstanding performances in the second half of the season, many English media are bragging for Lee Chenglong, and naturally some people are accusing Hodgson, saying that he should give Lee Chenglong more performance opportunities.
Hodgson also publicly stated that he would give Jackie Lee a chance in the future.
Under such circumstances, Southgate is somewhat worried that Jackie Lee will suddenly announce that he will not participate in the World Youth Championship.
After all, he is already a very famous star in European football. If Jackie Lee can't go back, Southgate can't help him.
Now that Jackie Lee is finally here, Southgate is relieved.
After Li Chenglong and the whole team trained for a few days, the whole team set off from London on June 18 to Turkey, the junction of Eurasia, to participate in the 2013 World Youth Championship.

Speaking of Turkish cities, many people’s first impression is Istanbul.
Istanbul is indeed the largest and most famous city in Turkey, but it is not the capital of Turkey.
The Turkish capital is actually Ankara, which is closer to the central part of the country, and their second largest city.
The first stop of Li Chenglong's arrival in Turkey was Ankara.
When coming out of Ankara International Airport, there were many fans waiting for the England team with placards outside.
However, judging from the signs they held, they were mainly waiting for Li Chenglong.
Li Chenglong is not only the biggest star of this England youth team, but can even be said to be the biggest star of this World Youth Championship.
Participating in the World Youth Championship, the oldest is 20 years old.
The players in this World Youth Championship include Hesse, Saul, Deulofeu, Paco, Suso, etc. on the Spanish side, and Pogba, Tovan, and Umtiti on the French side.
But in terms of personal fame, they are completely inferior to Li Chenglong.
"Help me get my luggage." Lee Chenglong asked Harry Kane to help him take the suitcase, and he went over and signed the fans.
Since there are fans to support, of course Lee Chenglong has to express.
According to Southgate's arrangement, Jackie Lee will partner with Kane to play double forwards during the World Youth Championship, so we arranged for the two of them to develop a tacit understanding. They will sit together in the car and stay in the same room.
Although the current Kane is considered to be a well-known genius for Tottenham, he is still in the stage of being loaned out for exercise. Compared with Jackie Lee, he is not at the same level, so he is also very knowledgeable and has a very low attitude. The deputy recognized Li Chenglong as the boss.
There was a delay at the airport, and soon the organizers of the event also came and will lead the English team south to Antalya, the small city of southern Turkey, where the English team is stationed.

A total of 24 teams participated in this World Youth Championship.
Among all the teams, if the host Turkey is added to Europe, there are a total of 7 teams. The other Asia, Africa, South America, and North America are 4 teams, plus a New Zealand in Oceania.
The 24 teams are divided into six groups, and group matches are held simultaneously in six cities in Turkey.
The England team is divided into Group E. The other three teams in the same group are Iraq in Asia, Egypt in Africa, and Chile in South America.
In the group stage, the E group matches are basically held in Antalya.
After the group stage, the top two of the six groups and the third of the four groups with the best results, a total of 16 teams qualified together and entered the knockout round.
According to the general opinion of the European media, Spain should be the favorite to win this World Youth Championship, France is second, England third is Portugal, and the fourth is Portugal~EbookFREE.me~ this year's World Youth Championship, due to the South American duo. Brazil and Argentina were all upset and failed to qualify for the competition, so the top four favorites were taken by European teams.
In fact, speaking of the history of the World Youth Championship, the South American duo are the biggest winners of this event. Argentina has won the World Youth Championship 6 times and Brazil has won 5 times, making them the two countries with the most championships.
Especially in the recent 10 World Youth Championships, Brazil and Argentina have jointly won 8 championships, almost dominating the World Youth Championships.
Among the South American stars, famous stars such as Maradona, Adriano, Messi and Aguero have all led the team to win the World Youth Championship.
But this time, they were both absent, which is really a big upset.
Compared with South American teams, European teams have a bleak World Youth Championship. Portugal is the team that has won the most championships. They have won the World Youth Championship twice.
The five European countries that have won the World Cup, England, Italy and France have not won the World Youth Championship.
Not only did they never get it, these three teams never even made the World Youth Championship finals.

Not only will there be the World Youth Championship this summer, but Brazil in South America will also host the Confederations Cup.
Although the World Youth Championship is considered to be the most influential youth event, it is still a bit worse than the Confederations Cup.
Therefore, as the organizer of the event, Turkey, of course, want to make the game well and try to earn as much ticket money as possible for sponsorship fees, so they began to use the name of Jackie Lee, the biggest star, to promote the event, hoping to win more. Attention.
In this case, Li Chenglong also had to accept some media interviews, event publicity activities and so on.
Of course, these must be paid.
If you don't give money, who wants to help you publicize?
