Chapter 157: International

After the game against Yokohama Port, the matches that fans from all over the country are most concerned about are the two top 12 matches that will be held on September 5th and 9th.
The Chinese team is in a group with South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia and the UAE.
It's all in the top twelve, and there is no so-called "death group"-just two groups, which group is divided into the group of death.
There are six teams in a group, and in the end only two teams can qualify directly for the World Cup finals.
Another team qualified for the play-off with the third place of another group. Defeated competitors in the play-offs, and then competed with Oceania teams for the final place in the World Cup finals.
The competition is very fierce.
Some people even said that the football event that represents the highest level in Asia is not the Asian Cup at all, but the top 12 of the Asian World Cup qualifiers.
This argument is not bad, because many teams that have performed well in the Asian Cup have a high probability of overturning in the top twelve.
For the same team, if you beat them in the Asian Cup, you are likely to lose to them again in the top twelve.
After all, everyone treats the game differently.
It goes without saying that the World Cup or the Asian Cup is more attractive.
In the two top 12 matches in September, the Chinese team first played against the UAE at home and then against Saudi Arabia.
Before these two games, the most eye-catching thing is as the top scorer of the Olympic team, the current top scorer of the Chinese Super League, whether Hu Lai can be selected for the national team and help the national team compete in the top twelve matches.
From before the AFC Champions League match of Flash Star, this topic has aroused many discussions on the Internet and has become a hot topic.
The vast majority of fans hope that the national team can recruit Hulai, although they admit that Marcel Wilson also makes sense. The current national team may not be suitable for recruiting new people, but even as a striker. The alternatives are also okay, at least it makes everyone think more.
There are even fans who imagined that after being recruited into the national team, Hu Lai was temporarily replaced on the field when the team was too late to start the game. Then he made a blockbuster and became the hero who saved the team...
Of course, this is quite an extreme scenario.
More fans still think that recruiting Hu Lai in, even if the playing time is not much, can be regarded as a very good symbol.
Besides, if the top scorer of the Olympic team has just scored five goals in the Olympics, he becomes the player with the most goals in the Olympic men’s football event, and is the top scorer among the local players in the Chinese Super League. If you can't be selected for the national team... When did the Chinese national team's threshold become so high?
Are we a surplus of talented forward players?
But some people are not optimistic that the national team will recruit Hulai this time. After all, the national team coach Wilson did not come to watch the match between Shining Star and Yokohama Port.
What does this show?
It shows that he does not want to investigate Hu Lai.
If Hu Lai is not investigated, then Hu Lai will naturally not be recruited.

Zhao Kangming, who was in the office discussing the next training arrangements with Chen Mo, suddenly received a call, and he answered the call: "Hey, this is Zhao Kangming... OK, have you come out? Okay, I see... OK, goodbye ."
When he hung up, the defense line Chen Mo kept looking at him: "Called from the national team?"
"Yeah." Zhao Kangming nodded. "Notify us that our players will be recruited on this national team match day."
Before each national team match day, the national team will call the head coaches of the clubs who need to send players to participate in the national team games to inform them of this matter and show respect for them.
Even though it was just a notice, it was useless for the club head coach to disagree.
"Who is there?" Chen Mo asked, staring at him.
Zhao Kangming knew who he really wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "There is Hu Lai."
Chen Mo stayed for a few seconds, and then said with a complicated expression: "I really don't know if we should be happy for that kid or feel headache for ourselves. Will the national team inform him?"
"The leader Hong Renjie will call him."
Chen Mo sighed softly: "It's finally the day..."
After sighing, he asked again: "Where are Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi?"
"They were not selected."
Chen Mo nodded, which is normal. After all, it is the top twelve match, not a warm-up match. Choosing so many new people in is not something a mature coach should do.

The game with Yokohama Port has just ended. The players who participated in the game the next morning all rested at home and did not go to training.
But Hu Lai and the others did not relax. According to the agreement with Qin Lin, they got up as early as possible to accompany Qin Qi for morning exercises.
Of course, after the morning exercises, no one cares about them, and they can do whatever they want.
All six people participated in the game last night, but Xia Xiaoyu only came off the bench in the second half, so this morning, he went to the team's training base alone for training.
There are only five people left in the huge villa.
Wang Guangwei stood in front of the washing machine and waited for his clothes to be washed and put out to dry. He lowered his head while swiping the phone while waiting. Accompanied by the sound effect of canned laughter from the phone, he also laughed.
Morikawa Junpei practiced his pronunciation on a tablet computer in his room: "Is it possible for the cow to enter the seven? Are the meatballs okay... Ah sorry, I don't want coriander... I am very happy today for the seven, thank you..."
Zhang Qinghuan was wearing a casual T-shirt, pulling slippers, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and said as he walked: "Mom, look at the weather in Jincheng today, the sun is very good..."
When he moved to the back garden, he saw a deck chair lying on the football field with a figure lying on it.
He walked over and saw Chen Xingyi: "Chen Xingyi, why are you basking here? Are you afraid of crushing the turf?"
Chen Xingyi, wearing sunglasses, spread his hands: "The side garden happens to be in the shadow of the house. It’s so good that it’s unobstructed here. What do you take with a mobile phone? I'll tell you if I'm out of the picture, I have to I ask you to pay for the appearance, do you know how many fans I have..."
"Mom, let's change place." Zhang Qinghuan didn't bother to care about him and turned away.
As soon as Chen Xingyi heard this, he got up and saw the video call screen on Zhang Qinghuan’s phone. He quickly pushed his sunglasses to his forehead, and then waved at Zhang Qinghuan’s phone: "Hello, Auntie! I just joked with Brother Huan... …"
Zhang Qinghuan’s mother on the phone also smiled and waved: "Chen Xingyi is good, aunty unit has your little girl fans!"
"Hey!" Chen Xingyi could only smirk at the camera when said by the aunt.
Zhang Qinghuan turned her mobile phone and let herself appear on the camera screen, and continued to say as she walked: "Mom, what kind of work are you in? I have no problem with the money I earn now..."
"I'm not old yet, why don't I stay at home without going to work? I'll tell you, I think I was not in good health a few years ago, so I just rested at home and got sick. I go to work every day and there is nothing wrong with it... …"
The voices of the two people faded away, and Chen Xingyi lay back on the chair, pulling down his sunglasses to cover his eyes. The morning sun shines on him, not blazing at noon, and it feels just right.
Jincheng has a short sunshine time, but you have to hurry up to get all the moisture out of your body...
Thinking about this, he turned his face again and lay down on the chair, turning his back into the sky.
At this moment, he heard a cheer that seemed to come from the villa.
He got up and turned his head and looked over there.
"Comrades!" Soon Hu Lai's voice sounded in the room.
Morikawa Junpei was practicing oral pronunciation, and he heard a rush of footsteps on the stairs outside, accompanied by Hu Lai's shout.
He quickly got up and ran out.
Wang Guangwei heard the movement from the upper floor in the laundry room, and he walked up strangely with his mobile phone.
Zhang Qinghuan had just made a circle and returned to the room, and he saw Hu Lai rushing down the stairs. He jumped down when there were three steps to the ground. When he saw Zhang Qinghuan, he happily said: "They give I called, Brother Huan!"
"Who called you?" Zhang Qinghuan didn't respond for a while.
But then he recovered and laughed: "Congratulations, Hu Lai!"
"What's the matter, it's noisy, just like Fan Jinzhongju..." Chen Xingyi said as he walked in from outside.
"Leader Hong of the national team called me!" Hu Lai excitedly announced with his mobile phone, "I'm going to the national team!"
Wang Guangwei, who had just walked to the living room, and Morikawa Junpei, who had just come down from the upper floor, were both stunned.
"Fuck... awesome!" Chen Xingyi opened his mouth and sighed. "Really lifted..."
Because of Wilson's ambiguous attitude before, they thought that Hu Lai should not be selected for the national team this time, but they did not expect to be selected.
"Congratulations, Hu Lai. You should be selected for the national team." Wang Guangwei said with a smile. "The national team won't recruit you, I'm afraid the fans will not be able to explain it."
"Hulaisan is already a player in the national team?" Junpei Morikawa stared at the stars. "It's really amazing! I also want to work hard to enter the Japanese national team!"
Hu Lai was very happy in the congratulations from everyone: "At that time, I can report to the national team with you, Brother Huan."
"Okay, go to the national team and I will cover you!" Zhang Qinghuan patted his chest.
Chen Xingyi looked down at his pocket, the phone was there.
His cell phone was as quiet as a chicken this morning, and he didn't even receive a courier call, let alone a call from the national team leader Hong.
So the situation is obvious. Among them, the former Olympic players, only Hu Lai was selected into the national team.
Although this was what he expected, he was still a bit lost when this result really appeared in front of him.
However, this loss was only a momentary thing, and he quickly made up his mind to continue working hard to fight for the future rendezvous with Hulai in the national team.
Chen Xingyi, who was in a clear mood, screamed: "Inviting! Hu Lai, I will tell you that you can't justify it if you don't entertain today! The restaurant of the owner's clubhouse does not count! We are going to have a big meal!"
"No problem! When Xiaoyu comes back, we will go out to have a meal at night!" Hu Lai promised this time especially simply.

Xie Lan, who was working in her unit, suddenly received a call from her son. She seemed to have a hunch, and her heartbeat quickened when she saw the call.
Fortunately, this mobile phone is smart enough to automatically lower the ringtone of incoming calls to nearly silent under her gaze, otherwise Xie Lan, who has not answered the phone, may become the focus of attention in the entire office.
In spite of this, some people still cast a curious look at her.
Xie Lan picked up the phone and got up and left her desk. He walked quickly out of the office and walked to the end of the corridor. Then she took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Mom! I have good news for you, I am selected for the national team!"
As soon as he was connected, his son’s excited voice came over the phone.
Xie Lan leaned against the window frame at the end of the corridor and said nothing.
"Hello? Mom? Can you hear me?"
"I can hear it." Xie Lan replied, stabilizing her emotions.
"Then why don't you speak?"
"You let me relax..."
"Ha!" Hu Lai laughed, "Isn't it a natural thing for your son to be selected for the national team?"
"Isn't it necessary to say it online?"
"What do people on the Internet know... Your son is now a real international player!"
"Well, don't be arrogant, you have to keep working hard...you can tell your dad again."
"Eh, didn't you just tell him directly?" Hu Lai seemed unwilling to call his dad.
"I'm at work now, and I'm not by his side. Besides, it's you who were selected for the national team, but not me. Why should I tell your dad? Say it yourself." After saying that Xie Lan did not wait for Hu Lai to refuse. Hang up the phone directly.
Then she didn't go back to the office immediately, but occupied the place alone for a while, watching the garden view of the unit outside the window calmed down, then turned and walked back to the office.
Nevertheless, she felt that her feet were still vain, almost floating back to the office.
Sitting at her workstation, facing the curious glances cast from all over, she also held back and said nothing.

Hu Lai looked at his mobile phone. His mother just hung up the phone very rudely, seeming to be forcing him to tell the news to his father.
He scratched his head.
Although the father and son seemed to have reconciled, he still felt a headache when he thought of calling his dad alone, and even cringed and resisted.
The prestige of the previous ten years, but it is not so easy to eliminate the influence...
He stared at the phone for a long time, and finally decided to call.
Stretching the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife.
After the number was dialed out, while waiting for the call to connect, Hu Lai listened to the colorful ringtones coming out of the headset ~EbookFREE.me~ and wanted to hang up every moment.
He even thought in his heart that he hoped that his dad could not answer the phone when he was in the bathroom, or the phone was accidentally set to mute and he didn't hear it at all... Then it was not his responsibility.
But Hu Lai’s "Wishful Thinking" was not completed, and the phone was soon connected, and Dad's slightly indifferent voice rang: "Hello?"
"Hello? Ah, Dad... That... I want to tell you something..."
"what's up?"
"This...I was selected for the national team."
"Oh." After the phone call, he paused, and then said: "Just being selected for the national team does not mean you are a real national team."
"I know I know, Dad. I actually didn't expect myself to be the main player as soon as I went to the national team..."
"Be the main force? What do you want?"
"I mean I didn't think about..."
"You don't need to talk about this kind of thing! Even if you sit on the bench in the national team, that's normal!" The dad on the other end of the phone's tone became harsher.
"Yes, yes, I must set my mind right. Dad, that... I just hang up if nothing happens, I'm going to train..."
"okay."
"Dad..." Before Hu Lai finished speaking, he heard the hung-up prompt from the phone.
Taking down the phone, Hu Lai let out a sigh, and finally completed the task.

Hu Lixin looked at the phone that had returned to the desktop, and his original serious face gradually showed a smile.
International...
The son is a national!
He looked up at the window, the afternoon sun was just right.
