Green giants

Adding a little taste to Li Tianxiang's ordinary life is the re-call of Guozihao.

This time it was the National Youth Team who sent a letter, the content of which was probably that the Asian Youth Championship was coming, and hoped that the players could play for the country and achieve good results.

Although he has already been selected for the national team, Li Tianxiang is still very excited about the call of the national youth team.He received Li Guiyun's patriotic football education since he was a child, which made Li Tianxiang always have a heart to fight for the country.

What's more, this is a real intercontinental competition to win glory for the country. In Li Tianxiang's view, it is far more attractive than the friendly match of the national team.

Of course, the letter to the Liaoning team also invited Zhang Boyuan, Yang Xu, and Wu Jin in addition to Li Tianxiang.

The selection of Yang Xu and Zhang Boyuan is not unexpected. Last year, they were the main players of the National Youth Championship and participated in the qualifiers of the Asian Youth Championship.

On the other hand, Wu Jin was a little excited, he patted Li Tianxiang on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect my brother to be so good."

"That's necessary, but I'm usually too dazzling, blocking your light." Li Tianxiang sighed, "I'm sorry for you."

"Damn, are you pretending so much?" Wu Jin smiled and punched Li Tianxiang.

"You two don't make trouble." Yang Xu glared at the two who were fighting, and said apologetically, "Jiao Shen, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I'm happy for you too." Shen Jing said, "I have nothing else to do, you can rest assured to serve the country."

"The club's affairs have nothing to do with you. You all performed well. I am as happy as Professor Chen and I have struggled with you. Come on." Shen Jing added.

The Asian Youth Championship was held in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. 15 teams passed the qualifiers, including 10 group firsts and five best-performing group second. Including the host Indonesia, a total of 16 teams entered the final final stage.

The 16 teams were divided into four groups by drawing lots, and the Chinese team, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan and Malaysia were divided into Group D.

Judging from the grouping situation, the Chinese team's signing luck is not bad, avoiding the powerful Japan and South Korea, and Saudi Arabia is stronger in the same group, so it should not be a problem to qualify for the group.

The national youth team has left many good memories for the fans, especially in the 05 World Youth Championship. Respect from all.

When we thought that Chinese football started brightly, we didn't know that it became the peak in 05.No one expected that this would be the last time that the National Youth League would appear on the world stage. In the following 12 years, the National Youth League missed the World Youth Championship for six consecutive times, which was surprising.

The inadequacy of Chinese football is undoubtedly evident in various national teams.Now the national team is taking the lead in the 05 World Youth Championship and even older players. They have changed from young players to experienced veterans.The big brothers around them have retired, but they have never received qualified fresh blood, and Chinese football has become second-rate or even third-rate in Asia.

In this Asian Youth Championship, the head coach Chen Yaodong is also under tremendous pressure. Although the qualifiers are the first to advance, the Chinese youth team at this time is only second-rate in Asia.It is not an easy task to reach the top 4 and qualify for the World Youth Championship.

Chen Yaodong glanced at the call-up list. Apart from a few players who could play in the Super League team's rotation, most of these players didn't have much game experience.

In comparison, he is more optimistic about several players of Liaozu.Even though it is in the middle class, the experience through the game is far more effective than training.This time there is only one week of training time, how to run the team has become a difficult problem for him.

The training camp of the China Youth Team is set in Haikou, where the climate is closer to that of Indonesia, making it easier for the players to adapt to the game.

The response speed of each club was very fast. Almost on the day of receiving the notification from the National Youth Team, the players were notified to go to Hainan for training.

The four of Li Tianxiang arrived in Haikou by plane, and Li Tianxiang felt the difference in the climate as soon as he got off the plane.

It was very hot in Haikou in October, Li Tianxiang immediately took off his coat and put it in the suitcase. In this weather, a short-sleeved one is just right.

On the way to the training base, Wu Jin kept asking questions on twitter. "Brother Chu" Wu Jin seemed a little cramped.He was worried that there were gangs in the team, or that the head coach was not easy to get along with.

Compared to Li Tianxiang and Zhang Boyuan who have been teasing Wu Jin, Yang Xu answered seriously.

He said that Chen Yaodong is easy to get along with, and he also selects players based on their ability, and will not engage in any kind of closeness.

As for the players, to be honest, most of them are low-level personnel in the club, and there are basically no gangs.Even if there is this, we can't let you go, right?

"That's right, it's absolutely covering you." Zhang Boyuan added.

A group of people soon came to the training base.

Following the signs, the four of them quickly found the room and packed up their things.It was assigned a double room, and Zhang Boyuan became roommates with Yang Xu, Li Tianxiang and Wu Jin.

When they got to the apartment, the apartment was already very lively.Compared with the distance from Shenyang to Haikou, it is obvious that other team members will come earlier.

Out of courtesy, Yang Xu took the three of them to the head coach Chen Yaodong.

"Chen Jiao, we are here to report." Yang Xu said.

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Chen Yaodong stood up and said with a smile, "I'm confident that you are here."

Li Tianxiang looked at Chen Yaodong, he looked very kind in his early 50s, no matter if he was telling the truth or not, anyway, Li Tianxiang felt that the distance between the two sides was shortened all of a sudden.

"The coach is polite, we still need a lot of help from the coach." Yang Xu laughed.

"I watched a lot of Liaozu games this year, and you guys performed well." Chen Yaodong said, "Hurry up and get into shape, step up the running-in, there are still a lot of strong teams in the Asian Youth Championship."

"Okay, Teacher Chen, we will work hard." Yang Xu patted his chest and said.

"I'm familiar with Yang Xu and Bo Yuan, you are Li Tianxiang and Wu Jin." Chen Yaodong looked at the two of them and said.

"Yes, coach." Li Tianxiang and Wu Jin replied.

"It's the first time you come to the National Youth League, don't worry, you can play when you are in good condition." Chen Yaodong said. "You guys make a good adjustment today and start training tomorrow."

"Thank you, Professor Chen." Li Tianxiang thanked him.

The four left the office, and Wu Jin immediately became active.

"Coach is so kind." Wu Jin sighed.

"Yo, you're resurrected?" Li Tianxiang joked, "I just saw you were so shy."

"Fuck, how dare you laugh at me." Wu Jin said viciously.

"Hey, be careful we squeeze you out." Zhang Boyuan also teased.

"Now I don't worry about it anymore, the coach is so good, how can there be such a mess as you said." Wu Jin complained.

"What if the coach lied to you?" Yang Xu laughed.

"Nimma, A Xu, you want to treat me like this, do you still love me?" Wu Jin was speechless.

"Hahaha."
