Full-time master's opening dragon rises!

"Tianming?"

A question came from within the room.

"What's wrong?" Yi Tianming was carrying a small bag and holding a small bag in his hand. He had already packed everything he wanted to bring.

"Did the Glory headquarters call you?" Chu Yunxiu walked out fully armed and shook the phone in his hand. "Someone just called me and said it was about the World Invitational Tournament."

"Yes, I also received the invitation." Yi Tianming nodded, "But it shouldn't affect our travel. I asked, and the training camp will be in half a month."

"Oh, that's good! You can go now."

"Let's go! Northeast!"

The sweet time between the two has officially begun.

Long-term competition will make people physically and mentally exhausted, so they took advantage of this trip to relax appropriately.

Of course, during this period of time, some major events also happened in the Glory Circle.

In terms of retirement, Lin Jingyan officially announced that he will bid farewell to the Glory Arena this summer. This veteran, who has been playing in the Glory League since the second season, has also brought an end to his career.

Although, this ending is not quite satisfactory.

In his early years, Lin Jingyan enjoyed great success in the glory circle and firmly held the title of the number one gangster.

However, in his later years, he drifted from his old club to Tyranny. In his two years in Tyranny, at best he could only reach the semi-finals, and he was unable to touch the glory trophy.

"However, this is enough." Lin Jingyan smiled and said
"Goodbye, Glory."

……

The retirement of veterans always happens during the hot summer vacation, and these two words always make people feel chilly, which is in sharp contrast to the hot weather.

Especially those who are obsessed with people will inevitably feel empty in their hearts.

Just imagine, one day your favorite professional player retires, which means you can no longer see him in the professional arena, at least in official games. There may be a chance in a commercial invitational tournament, but the main game is No chance again.

Lin Jingyan has no intention of giving anything. He chose to retire because he believed that it was really time for him to leave. The stage of glory will always belong to young people.

As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.

But this is something that everyone has to experience, including Yi Tianming, right?
No one can be young forever, but some people are always young.

During the trip, Yi Tianming also thought about his future career.

He can still fight, at least for now, but it's not certain how long he can maintain this state.

"Let's finish the World Invitational Tournament first and then talk about it!" Yi Tianming thought to himself.

At this time, Chu Yunxiu's exclamation brought his thoughts back to reality.

“This bag is beautiful!”

"Okay, buy it!" Yi Tianming shrugged helplessly. His body was already covered with large and small items.

When we go out for fun, one is to go to scenic spots, and the other is to go shopping.

The biggest impression on Yi Tianming from this trip to the north is that the prices are really affordable!
If nothing else, let’s talk about those barbecue food stalls. The meat skewers in them are much larger than those in southern China. They are not only cheaper but also more plentiful.

Enjoy the food!
In this way, eating, drinking and shopping, Yichu and Chu did not stay in one city all the time, but went to several cities in succession.

Of course, it is inevitable that you will encounter some honors during the trip. Photos, autographs, etc. will naturally be arranged.

Soon, half a month passed.

This is the day when Yi Tianming and Chu Yunxiu return to K City.

A silver-blue car was driving on the highway. Sitting in the driver's seat was Yi Tianming, and the co-pilot was Chu Yunxiu. The two took turns driving, and whoever got tired would take a rest and let the other person drive. .

"Hello, audience friends, this is FM98 Glory Radio, and I am your good friend, Li Yibo~"

"Oh? Is Li Yibo still doing this part-time job?" Yi Tianming said a little surprised. He originally only knew that Li Yibo was a commentator, but he didn't expect that he also had the identity of an announcer.

At this time, the sound came from the radio again,

"The summer transfer window has been open for fifteen days now, and during these fifteen days, the completed transfer records include Li Ming and Liu Zhixiang..."

"Recently, there has been news about the transfer of Samsara player Sun Xiang."

Sun Xiang?

Upon hearing this name, Yi Tianming became interested.

The people mentioned above are all transparent in the alliance, but Sun Xiang is different. He is the pillar of the new generation second only to Yi Tianming!

"Sun Xiang? Where are you going?" Chu Yunxiu also became interested.

Li Yibo continued: "Recently, it has been reported that Blue Rain is interested in Sun Xiang, but Blue Rain officials have not yet responded accordingly. As for the specifics, it still depends on the direction of things in the future."

"Tch~" Yi Tianming and Chu Yunxiu were speechless. They thought the matter had been finalized, but they didn't expect it was just news on the screen.

"This Glory Radio isn't some wild show, right? It even has gossipy news on it." Chu Yunxiu questioned.

But Yi Tianming smiled: "If you think about it carefully, with Sun Xiang's status, there is nothing wrong with getting some traffic publicity."

"Well... there is a service station ahead. Let me wait for a while while you take a rest."

"Row."

……

The next day, Yi Tianming and Chu Yunxiu were invited to report at the Glory headquarters.

They arrived in K City last night. After a night's rest, they met up with Tian Sen and headed to the Glory headquarters together.

Tian Sen also received the invitation.

Three people from Baihua were shortlisted! It is the most lively team in the league, which may indicate the official recognition of Glory for Baihua. Other teams have only two players selected.

For Blue Rain: Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian.

Samsara: Zhou Zekai, and Sun Xiang... But his current position is rather awkward. Since it has been determined that he will not reincarnate next season, it is not appropriate to say that he is a free agent. After all, his reincarnation contract is still there, but It makes no sense to say that he is a reincarnated person.

In addition, there are Wang Jiexi, Li Xuan, Tang Hao, Zhang Xinjie, Su Mucheng, and Fang Rui.

There are thirteen people in total.

This is the specification of this competition system, so it is said that Honor officially invited the players, but in fact these thirteen people are under the management of the national department, which is the so-called national team. To his surprise, Thunder captain Xiao Shiqin did not make the roster this time. The official explanation given by Glory was that there were already enough tactician masters in the team, and adding one more would not improve the team much.

There is no doubt that those who can enter this big list are undoubtedly not the best in Glory. Xiao Shiqin's personal strength is certainly not bad, but his luck is not very good. He was not selected this year. However, this World Invitational Tournament is currently It seems that it will not only disappear in one season, but will definitely be there in the future. Maybe Xiao Xiao will be selected next year?

"Who will lead us? You won't let our players make their own tactics, will they? Who is the captain? Zhang Xinjie, will you make the tactics?" Before they entered the conference room, Yi Tianming and the others heard someone shouting inside. .

"Just in time for that talkative Huang Shaotian." Yi Tianming thought to himself.

Open the door, sure enough! Huang Shaotian kept talking.

"Hey! Welcome to the captain and members of the championship team!" Huang Shaotian was the first to stand up and welcome.

"Thank you."

After a simple thank you, Yi Tianming and others immediately took their seats and soon started chatting with the people around them.

The topic continues, nothing more than the question of who will lead this team.

After a while, the door of the conference room was opened again.

"I'm sorry, everyone, there was a traffic jam on the road just now."

Ye Xiu! He appeared at the gate in a suit and tie, holding a folder in his hand with a few pieces of white paper inside. He had silver-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose. Those who didn't know thought he was a civil servant.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw this face, except Yi Tianming.

"You guy..." Huang Shaotian muttered.

"Oh? Isn't Old Han here?" Ye Xiu walked around the people inside and said casually.

Of course, as an officially invited coach, how could he not know the list of personnel in advance? But Ye Xiu was also feeling emotional, feeling how deep Han Wenqing's love for Tyranny was, and feeling that those foreign players couldn't get a taste of Han Wenqing's Iron Fist.

"Well, the Korean team declined the invitation to this World Invitational Tournament." Zhang Xinjie said calmly.

"Oh." Ye Xiu nodded nonchalantly, then strode to the front of the conference room:

"Okay, let me introduce you briefly. My name is Ye Xiu."

"Okay, okay, okay, let's not repeat these things that we all know well." Huang Shaotian was the first to stand up and talk back, and then added: "So what we want to know now is, are you now What is your identity? Comrade Ye Xiu?"

"This is a good question. I am your coach, the coach of the Chinese team in this world invitational tournament." Ye Xiu said concisely.

"Coach? Oh...if you don't come, I thought we would select one of our 13 years to be the coach." Huang Shaotian pursed his lips.

"If you talk back again, I'll put you on the bench in the first game." Ye Xiu said with a smile, but this was obviously a hidden smile.

Huang Shaotian hurriedly made a "shut up" expression.

"As the coach, I will be responsible for the team's tactical issues. Of course, if you have anything to add, you can always ask it." When Ye Xiu said this, he looked at Yu Wenzhou and Zhang Xinjie clearly.

Needless to say, the tactical qualities of these two masters of tactics go without saying. Their tactical supplements are of high tactical value.

Later, Ye Xiu gave additional explanations on several other issues.

"Hey, Sun Xiang, which one have you decided on?" Huang Shaotian asked Sun Xiang on the right while Ye Xiu was talking above.

"Huh?" Sun Xiang was confused by this sudden question.

Am I familiar with you...?
Of course, he was not stupid enough to say this directly, as that would be too embarrassing.

"Our conditions at Blue Rain are very rich...!" Huang Shaotian said with a smile.

"Uh... let's finish the World Invitational Tournament first and then talk about it." Sun Xiang couldn't laugh or cry.

"Well, come on!" Seeing this, Huang Shaotian didn't ask any more questions, but patted him on the shoulder, with a look of care from a senior to a junior on his face.

Hello! You're not much older than me, right?

Sun Xiang was speechless for a while. Why did this guy feel so familiar? Even if he was familiar with him, he still gave people the feeling of an old-timer...

"Okay, do you have anything else you want to ask? If not, today's meeting is over. Just train on time tomorrow." Ye Xiu closed the folder and took the lead when he saw that no one continued to ask questions. Walking out of the conference room, Su Mucheng quickly followed in his footsteps.

Soon, Su Mucheng's cheerful singing could be heard outside, as well as her chatting with Ye Xiu.

"Meizi Su and Lao Ye are quite close," Huang Shaotian said, stroking his chin.

"What, are you jealous?" Tian Sen joked. When the others heard this, they looked over with smiles, ready to eat.

"Hey! I told you not to think too much, and you guys, I have no other intentions for Sister Su." Huang Shaotian waved his hand.

Of course, everyone also knows Huang Shaotian's personality. The relationship between him and Su Mucheng is... at best, they can be regarded as friends, and they are not very familiar with each other. Except when playing games, they have no chance to meet alone.

"Ye Xiu's feelings for Su Mucheng should be the same as a brother's feelings for his sister." Yi Tianming said at this time.

"Yes, I agree." Chu Yunxiu was the first to stand up and agree. Whether it was for subjective reasons or other aspects, she agreed with Yi Tianming's words.

"I think so." Zhang Xinjie agreed at this time.

"Hey, Zhang Xinjie, why are you joining in the fun? We are chatting about gossip, don't you care about this?" Huang Shaotian said scornfully.

"Occasionally." Zhang Xinjie pushed the eye frame on the bridge of his nose and said calmly.

Huang Shaotian was speechless by the rebuke. Everyone was amused by this scene. For no other reason than they liked to see Huang Shaotian's deflated expression.

"Hahahaha!"

This pre-war meeting ended in this cheerful atmosphere.

……

The World Invitational Tournament is scheduled to officially start on August 8st, which means that everyone does not have much time to adjust. There are only a little more than ten days to complete the game, and then you need to fly all over the world.

The World Invitational Tournament does not have a fixed competition venue, which means that you have to fly to the corresponding country and region for each competition.

In this first World Invitational Tournament, a total of 32 teams were invited to compete, divided into group matches and knockout rounds.

The 32 national teams are evenly divided into eight groups, and each group competes in pairs. There are a total of 6 games. These six games will be divided into high and low rankings, and the top two national teams in a group will be ranked. Advance to the knockout rounds.

Except for the finals, the knockout rounds are all two-legged. Among the 16 national teams that made it out of the group stage, there will only be one champion in the end.

Having said that, the importance of running-in to a team is self-evident.

Just because the national teams are all top players in the league doesn't mean they shouldn't want to work together.

In the following days, Yi Tianming will join the team to adjust.

The days passed, and soon it was the day of drawing lots.
