Fox in the Penalty Area

After finishing the training camp in the capital Hongfengling, Shi Wuyin finally made a choice, choosing 23 people from the 30-person training list to enter the competition list.

These 23 people will be registered for the u23 Asian Cup.

This list is not surprising.

Players who performed well in training are basically selected.

Those who were not selected would certainly have some regrets, but they also accepted the result calmly. After all, their performance was indeed not as good as the 23 who were selected.

The criteria for guiding the selection of who can register for the competition is very simple, that is, look at training performance and strength.

Everyone has worked with him for many years, and they know this very well.

This is also one of the differences between him and the previous National Youth Olympic coaches.

Since the reform of the Football Association, the behavior of reaching out to the national teams at all levels and asking for money for card slots no longer exists.

But it is inevitable that there will be some cases of Serbian relations.

But in Shi Wuyin's case, this set of things didn't work.

He has been leading this national youth team. He has the authority to say no to one thing. If he doesn't nod his head, no one can enter the team.

The people he chooses must be the best and most suitable players in the age group he has examined.

The seven unselected teammates bid farewell to everyone at the Hongfengling training base and left calmly. But they also have to ensure that communication is unblocked.

Because if there is an accident among the remaining 23 people, such as injuries, requiring temporary substitutions, the coaching staff will give priority to selecting from these seven players. If you can't get in touch at that time, you will miss the opportunity. After all, the coaching staff will not just wait for you and call you more than a dozen calls repeatedly.

The seven eliminated teammates were sent away, and the remaining 23 players packed their luggage, assembled and took a bus to the airport, and flew directly from the capital airport to Haining Dashun.

"Oh, I really miss it..." Hu Lai said with emotion through the porthole overlooking the coastline under the plane. "We just came here less than two months ago."

He said this to Chen Xingyi and Wang Guangwei who were sitting together.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the base camp of the U23 Asian Cup Olympic team is Dashun..." Wang Guangwei also said with emotion.

Chen Xingyi said: "Football City after all."

When Hu Lai heard him talking, she couldn't help but glanced at him.

"What?" Chen Xingyi felt Hu Lai's gaze.

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered."

"Remember what?"

"Remembering that we still don't know whether Chen Xingyi..."

Before Hu Lai finished speaking, Chen Xingyi, who was sitting next to him, covered his mouth: "Shut up!"

Wang Guangwei laughed beside him.

The plane is hovering and descending, about to land at the airport.

After two visits to Dashun, Wang Guangwei had completely different moods.

Although the expectations and pressures he may face during the second visit are even greater than the first time, he can still laugh so happily and relaxedly without knowing why.

The mood is completely different.

At that time, many people may not realize it.

But now looking back, they know what changes the second round of the FA Cup final brought them.

He doesn't know how others are doing, anyway, after that game, until this Olympic training camp, he really felt the growth.

"What do you want?" Hu Lai, who had been released by Chen Xingyi, found Wang Guangwei in a daze, and asked him.

"I'm thinking... Hu Lai, do you think you have improved after last season?"

"Progress? Of course there is." Hu Laixin said that I use so many training reels seamlessly. If there is no progress, isn't this plug-in fake? "You see, I can use the'Schrödinger Pendulum' to get past Brother Inkstone in training."

"Don't mention this... let Brother Yan hear that you are going crazy." Chen Xingyi rolled his eyes wildly.

"Fuck, let me tell you, this is really my unique skill, it's not a **** luck!"

"Yes, yes, right, your unique skill is to run shit..." Chen Xingyi said perfunctorily.

Wang Guangwei interrupted the bickering between the two people and said seriously: "I feel that I have improved, both in terms of game experience and mentality. It used to be said that young players still have to participate in high-level competitions to make greater progress. .But that is just a very vague statement, lacking intuitive experience. But after playing the FA Cup this time, we won the Golden Arrow in the final. I really felt my improvement. So I thought, after playing u23 Can the Asian Cup also improve?"

When Hu Lai heard what Wang Guangwei said, he curled his lips: "What is the u23 Asian Cup? If you want to talk about high-level competitions, of course you have to go to the Olympics! Pharaoh, when you come back from the Olympics, you can come and feel it. See what new progress you have!"

"Wait, let me take a look..." Chen Xingyi leaned over, leaned close to the porthole, and looked down pretentiously, "Yes, here is Dashun..."

Hu Lai pushed away Chen Xingyi who was pressing on him: "What are you doing?"

"Hu Lai, what you said just now, I thought the destination of our plane was Madrid..."

"Hey, don't worry, we will definitely go to Madrid this summer!" Hu Lai hummed.

Chen Xingyi reflexively wanted to ask him how he was so sure, but when he thought of what he had experienced for a season with Hu Lai, especially before the FA Cup final, Hu Lai vowed to him that he would definitely win the championship... He closed wisely. Mouth.

Wang Guangwei looked forward to it next: "I really want to go to the Olympics to watch and play against people who we usually only see in sports news. Whether we win or lose, it must be... very cool."

When he said this, Chen Xingyi also fell into a certain imagination.

No matter how they are called geniuses, there is a limit.

That is the "Chinese domestic genius", compared with the real genius of world football, I am afraid it is not enough.

They all think they are outstanding in the small pond, they are big fish, but they really swim in the vast rivers and lakes, and they are just little shrimps that have never seen the world.

Take Meli Banega, the number one young genius recognized in today's football, for example, the twenty-year-old Champions League winners are all won, and that is a super genius worldwide.

At the same age of twenty, Hu Lai won the domestic Football Association Cup, and he has not even participated in the AFC Champions League. It's easy to see how huge the gap between the two sides is.

With the dreams and longings of these young people, the plane landed on the airport runway in Dashun.

When the Olympic team players wearing uniform uniforms walked out of the cabin, they also took the first step towards the goal that national fans were looking forward to.

Xia Xiaoyu saw the latest news from the news that Hu Lai followed the Olympic team to prepare for the u23 Asian Cup in Dashun.

In the warm-up match against the UAE National Olympic team, the National Olympic team swept away the problem of poor defense during the warm-up in October last year and did not concede a goal in 90 minutes.

Of course, this may also be related to the change of goalkeeper for the Olympic team, making Lin Zhiyuan the main goalkeeper...

In the end, Hu Lai scored twice and Chen Xingyi scored, defeating the UAE Olympic team 3:0. Won the last warm-up match before the u23 Asian Cup.

This game made many Chinese fans see hope and confidence, and there was constant discussion online.

Xia Xiaoyu is very envious of this. He also wants to wear the Chinese Olympic team jersey and fight side by side with Hu Lai.

But he knows that with his current ability and qualifications, he is not enough to be selected for the Olympic team.

The only thing he can do is to constantly improve himself and try to keep up with Hu Lai's footsteps.

What comforted him a little is that after training in the youth team for a year, he was promoted to the first team before the new season's flashing star training.

Director Zhao didn't lie to him, he was really optimistic about him and worked hard to train him.

He certainly cannot live up to the expectations of Director Zhao.

While he was thanking Director Zhao in his heart, Director Zhao called him from the training ground to the sidelines.

When he ran in front of Director Zhao, the boss Qin Lin stood beside him.

Xia Xiaoyu respectfully greeted the two of them.

Zhao Kangming nodded, and then asked him: "Xiaoyu, you played in the youth team for a year as a midfielder, not a midfielder. Do you have any experience about this?"

Xia Xiaoyu thought about it very seriously, and then answered the question raised by the head coach: "The position is not as close to the penalty area as the front midfielder, but I have a broader field of vision, and I can intervene when necessary. Go up. At first, when I was far away from the penalty area, I was not very accurate in passing the ball. Instructor Shi specially asked me to practice the middle and long distance passing, and then it got better..."

"Then let you choose now. Would you rather return to the front midfielder position, or continue to play this more backward central midfielder?" Zhao Kangming asked.

"I feel that the midfielder must be more suitable for me now, Director Zhao." Xia Xiaoyu answered very seriously.

Hearing this answer, Zhao Kangming and Qin Lin looked at each other, and then he smiled and asked Xia Xiaoyu: "Then what if you are asked to retreat a little bit more and hit the midfielder?"

Xia Xiaoyu was stunned, and didn't understand why the head coach wanted to ask for a while.

Midfielder?

The first image that popped out of his mind was Chen Rui, his midfield partner in the school team. That muscular man, a small tank, relied on his undead physical ability and a whole body of tendons to rush on the court and hit every ball. Grab it, and then throw a pass over ten meters away...

A qualified engineer, but he is completely out of rank with organizers like him.

But his mind immediately turned around and contacted Zhao's question just now and his experience in the youth team this year. The most important thing is...Qin Lin standing next to him.

So he asked in return: "Director Zhao, is Brother Lin such an offensive and defensive midfielder?"

Zhao Kangming seemed very satisfied with Xia Xiaoyu’s thinking and came up with this answer, but he still smiled and shook his head: “No, it’s a pure organizational midfielder. The position is a bit further back than the central midfielder, but he is not responsible for defense. It is responsible for organizing the offense, controlling the rhythm and direction of the team's offense, in other words...it is the brain of the team."

Xia Xiaoyu was stunned for a while, and was hit by the description of "the brain of the team."

"Of course, it's wrong to say that you don't need to defend at all. Even Hu Lai, the center forward, has to return to defense. If you are in the midfielder position, you must have a defensive task to some extent. But your main task is to organize the attack and control. Rhythm, connecting both offense and defense~www.ltnovel.com~ There are not many direct assist opportunities. Compared with when you play in the school team, you have fewer chances of being popular." Zhao Kangming continued to introduce him or describe it. What kind of midfielder is it?

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Xiaoyu nodded vigorously: "I am willing, Director Zhao. I am willing to retreat to play such a midfielder, I want to be the brain of the team!"

Zhao Kangming pointed to Qin Lin to Xia Xiaoyu: "Then from today, you can follow Qin Lin to learn how to be a team brain."

Qin Lin continued: "We only have one year, so I will strictly demand you, so don't yell at you that you can't stand it."

"Relax, Brother Lin, I won't!" Xia Xiaoyu stood tall, like a soldier who had received an important mission.

Zhao Kangming and Qin Lin laughed when they saw him like this: "Yes, very energetic."

"Because I am trying to catch up with Hu Lai's footsteps." Xia Xiaoyu said his reason.

"Then you have to run faster. He..." Zhao Kangming thought of Hu Lai who was preparing for the U23 Asian Cup and Olympic qualifiers for the Olympic team, and said with emotion, "I'm about to fly so fast I can't see it..."
