Vol 4 Chapter 854: America's Cup Wild Card Invitation

　　 It was not that Yang Chen was shocked, there was indeed a major event that Zhuo Yang needed to decide immediately.
　　—The Brazilian Football Association sent an official letter to the Chinese Football Association: inviting the Chinese national team to participate in the 46th America’s Cup to be held in Brazil from June 15 to July 7, 2019.
　　 The America’s Cup is very messy. The World Cup and the European Cup are held every four years, but the America’s Cup is difficult to tell every year, especially in recent years.
　　 As a pole of football, the America’s Cup held in South America was founded very early. Argentina hosted the first tournament in 1916. It has been a century since it is the oldest intercontinental tournament in the world.
　　 The World Cup began in 1930 and has been 21 times. The European Cup has started in 1956 and has been 15 times after World War II. Next year's America's Cup is the 46th, which is more than half the Asian Cup together.
　　 In the early years, the America’s Cup was basically once a year. After the twelfth in 1929, it was changed to roughly once every two years.
　　 At the most extreme time, the America’s Cup was held twice in 1959, one was held in Argentina in March, and another was held in Ecuador in December. So far, the Copa America has played 27 times in 43 years.
　　 After this, South America steadily started the four-year session, which is actually a fairly reasonable span. But the Americans, who respected the rules like dirt, couldn't bear the loneliness, and only two decades later recovered once more every two years.
　　 With the recovery and resurgence of the European economy after World War II, European football has also dominated the world. The European Cup’s elite pomp is not comparable to that of the America’s Cup. Perhaps South America is thinking of insufficient quality and quantity.
　　 This is actually easy to understand, but since 2001, what the is it every three years? Obviously not the posture of living. Therefore, since 2007, the America’s Cup has clearly been held every four years, and it is staggered with the World Cup and the European Cup.
　　 During this period, except for 2016 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the America’s Cup, it was added out of thin air. The rest is not messy. 2019 is a good year.
　　 South America has a vast territory, but the South American Football Federation has only ten member states. With such a small number of teams, it will not even be divided into groups. At first it was either 55 open or 433, which is outrageous.
　　 A chaotic battle broke out of the group stage and entered the quarterfinals. In fact, only two teams were eliminated, so boring.
　　 So, starting from the 36th in 1993, because of geographic relations, the America’s Cup invited Mexico and the United States from the North American and Caribbean Association to participate in the competition. Finally, there were 12 teams that could be divided into three groups evenly.
Although Mexico, which played with a wild card for the first time, made a blockbuster and made it to the final in one breath, if it weren’t for the Argentine national team lacking Maradona to win the championship with Barty’s two goals, the South American would have won the championship. Lost big, but the 10+2 Copa America model has since been fixed, and Mexico has become the most stable wild card team.
　　 In 2001, the Mexicans did it again. They regretted losing host Colombia 0:1 in the final.
　　 Although Mexico is good and its football style fits well, modern football cannot be separated from commercial factors. Mexico does not bring much extra traffic and wealth to South America, as well as worldwide attention. The US, Costa Rica, and Jamaican teams that were once wild cards are not as influential as Mexico.
　　 It is a painful experience. In order not to be left too far away by the European Cup, the South American Football Association is determined to make some changes to expand the influence of the America's Cup beyond the islands of the Americas.
There are a large number of Chinese immigrants in South America. China is the most dynamic emerging market in the world. Zhuo Yang is the number one player in football today. The Chinese national team does not yet have the strength to overthrow South America. Combining these factors, it is obvious that the Chinese team is ideal. Target.
　　 After the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the South American Football Confederation and the Chinese Football Association had already started negotiations on participating in the 44th Chile Copa America in 2015, but Zhuo Yang suddenly had an accident to terminate the process.
　　 Chinese football is in chaos, the Football Association has no intention of branching out, and because of the loss of Zhuo Yang's golden signature, South America's interest in the Chinese team has also rapidly diminished. In the end, the two sides gave up on this tacitly, and Jamaica became the replacement.
　　 In fact, as early as the 39th Paraguay America’s Cup in 1999, Japan participated in the game as the first Asian wild card team in the history of the America’s Cup. That time it was not the South American Football Association's initiative to invite, and the wealthy Japan gave the money.
　　The spring-hearted Japanese were ambitious to go to South America. They came down to the bottom of the group with three fights, one draw and two losses. Trussier directly sighed that the world was cold. In that group, in order to take care of the Japanese, they were deliberately avoided the traditional South American top three, but Japan still lost to Peru and Paraguay, only narrowly drew with Bolivia.
　　 doesn't mean anything. After that, Japan doesn't want to go there anymore. Isn't it popular to be the king and hegemony in Asia?
　　 But now and then, the South American Football Association is determined to achieve'going out' in 2019, and the first thing that comes to mind is Japan.
　　Due to the small island country's geographical restrictions, the doomsday crisis has always shrouded the Japanese. If the country has no foresight, there must be immediate worries. The planned immigration to South America is Japan's national strategy, which has been implemented for nearly a hundred years.
　　 Today, Japan’s influence in South America is very deep, second only to the United States, which regards the Americas as its back garden, and Spain and Portugal, the two Latin American sovereign states. The number of Japanese immigrants and their descendants is no less than that of Chinese, and their cultural and economic influence is much greater.
　　 Japanese descendant Teng Sen was the president of Chile. Aguero’s favorite anime is "Captain Tsubasa". Messi’s wife, Antonella, loves flower arrangement and tea ceremony, which are all manifestations of Japanese influence.
　　 Therefore, inviting Japan to participate in the competition has a broad economic and public basis. The Japanese who can't remember what to eat have also forgotten the pain of being beaten 20 years ago, feeling that they are doing it again, and it hits it off.
　　 Another wild card team, originally intended to be Qatar, because it has the money to shoot and is more generous than the Japanese. At the beginning, the South American Football Association did not consider the Chinese team, and the cooperation that ended without a problem made both sides feel that each other is unreliable, and it doesn't matter if they don't mention it.
　　 Change, was eliminated from Brazil, and was eliminated by the Chinese team in the 2018 World Cup.
　　 The bookmakers take turns. Brazil is the host country of the 2019 Copa America. Due to commercial development factors, the host has a very high say in inviting wild cards, not to mention that they are called Brazil, and they are the first speaker of the South American Football Federation.
　　 In the quarter-finals of Russia’s World Cup, the Chinese team successfully eliminated Brazil from a penalty kick. And the penalty shoot-out 3:0 was too garish, and the diehard fans on the scene turned their faces too much, and the Brazilians could not stay overnight with this hatred.
　　 After returning home crying, the Brazilian still had kidney pain.
　　 The next time I meet at the World Cup, I don’t know the year of the monkey. It’s also unknown whether the murderous Zhuo Yang is still or not. After all, he is 33 years old. The Brazilians who can't wait can never engage in another friendly match, and the local America's Cup has become the most ideal stage for revenge.
　　 It should not be too late. The top management of the Brazilian Football Association convened an emergency meeting, and Limada became a unified opinion to abandon Qatar and invite the Chinese team to participate. Therefore, the Brazilian Football Association, which has never been so efficient, directly sent the invitation letter to the Chinese Football Association.
　　 Any conditions can be negotiated, as long as they can come to the competition.
　　 The Football Association is equal to the Football Association, but Zhuo Yang cannot be circumvented in the decision-making of all major events in Chinese football. He has a veto and a final decision.
　　 So there was a phone call from the national team's resident leader Yang Chen.
　　 Yang Chen was ecstatic after receiving the notice, not because of the America's Cup, but because of Zhuo Yang.
　　 Zhuo Yang showed signs of retirement, Yang Chen felt it, but he had no evidence, and he did not dare to ask for it. The sky is falling, everyone will have the attributes of an ostrich, and Yang Chen is no exception.
　　 The wild card invitation of the America’s Cup has become an opportunity. Anything that can make Zhuo Yang happy and impress Zhuo Yang to keep him interested in football, Yang Chen will enthusiastically agree.
　　 The America’s Cup is not important, but there are some new temptations of the America’s Cup. If Zhuo Yang can change his mind, Yang Chen doesn’t mind giving the Brazilian a knock.
　　.
　　 Zhuo Yang got up very late, not because he was improper, but because Yang Chen didn't call him early in the morning. This evening was the last three or four finalists, and the national team all slept a little longer.
　　 Yesterday's drunkenness has faded, and the words of the two ball kings are still puzzled in Zhuo Yang's mind. Pointing out that the problem is one aspect, whether the problem can be solved is the key, Zhuo Yang has no clue.
　　 His decision to retire may seem impulsive, but once Zhuo Yang makes a decision, even impulsiveness will not change easily. If he couldn't understand the maze pointed by the ball king as soon as possible, and couldn't use his actions to verify their correctness, Zhuo Yang would retreat and would not entangle or persecute himself too much.
　　 In his job, Zhuo Yang is still the captain of the national team and the Chinese football player, so he has to shoulder the responsibility of making decisions.
　　 Hearing Yang Chen introduced the cause of the matter, Zhuo Yang did not rush to make a decision. The national team's expedition is a big event, and it is not enough to just shoot the head.
　　 "Is there a schedule conflict?"
　　 "No. The 2022 World Cup qualifiers will not start until September next year. The friendly matches decided by UU Reading www.uukanshu.com are also in the first half of the year. June and July happen to be the window period for the national team."
　　 "Is there any foreign affairs visit mission."
　　 "No, no arrangements have been made so far."
　　 "Okay. Old Yang, Brother Zha, what's your opinion?"
　　 Yang Chen and Sforza said in unison: "Fight."
　　 "Then fight." Zhuo Yang made a decision: "Notify the Football Association, as long as the conditions are right, you should come down."
　　 "Yeah~~~" Yang Chen jumped up excitedly, without the stability of leadership.
　　 Zhuo Yang knew how excited he was. His abnormality fell in Yang Chen's eyes. How could Lao Yang's anxiety escape Zhuo Yang's observation.
　　 However, Yang Chen thinks too much. Zhuo Yang agreed to the National Football Team's participation in the America's Cup a year later, completely out of the principle of benefiting the national team. The more high-level games, the better, does not mean that he has changed his decision.
　　With or without Zhuo Yang, the national team will play the America's Cup. As for whether the Brazilians will be disappointed by then, or even scold the street, Guan Zhuoyang will do nothing.
　　 So, the matter was settled, and the players were also notified. Apart from the big ambitions, everyone is looking forward to next summer.
　　What happened a year later, Zhuo Yang will not worry about it anymore. His top priority is to verify the correctness of the ‘Pele’s Innate Theory’ and the ‘Maradona Theory of Heroes’.
