Chapter 578
In fact, after the FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony, Aiello is not the only one who is in excellent form in European football. Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, AC Milan Kaka and Barcelona's Messi are all very good, but not as amazing as Aiello.

The time began to enter February, which means that the European giants must shift their attention.

Because the most critical UEFA Champions League will kick off in the second half of this month, more preparations are needed to win the final championship!

This is what is called being prepared.

As February approached, Tang Shun, chairman of the Chinese XX Football Association, and Lin Yao, vice chairman, began to feel a little worried, because the 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian Top [-] qualifiers were about to kick off, and the Chinese team's first match would be against Iraq, the new champion of last year's Asian Cup, and it was an away game, which made them even more troubled.

Because domestic fans are full of expectations for the current national team.

But according to the current situation, the European league matches are about to enter a fierce stage. If they are recalled to participate in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers at this time, will these players become more physically fatigued and increase their chances of injury?
In fact, this problem has been haunting them since late January, but it has only continued until now.

To call or not to call?

It's almost time for the international match day.

Didn't Ai Luo get the World Footballer?That was… mid-January!
correct!

Vice Chairman Lin Yaomeng slapped his thigh and walked towards the chairman's office excitedly: "Old Tang, although the European league is about to enter a feverish stage, we have overlooked a problem, that is... the European league has at least half a month's holiday except for the Premier League. This will not increase the fatigue of the players at all..."

Therefore, the Chinese XX Football Association announced the names of Ai Luo, Feng Xiaoting, Chen Tao, Gao Lin, Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin and others in the list of participating in the World Cup qualifiers...

※※※

When the fax of the Chinese national team was transmitted to the major clubs, the clubs that had never received the national team call-up before were all stunned, and then converged into two words: Shit!
Even Mourinho was very depressed, but the fax from the Chinese national team was indeed sent. If the trouble went to FIFA, the club would not benefit, because this was a World Cup qualifier during the international match day, and the club could not deduct players.

Hey, I hope Ai Luo can control his physical fitness well!
This is something Mourinho can pray for, because after the international break, Chelsea will face Liverpool at home, which is a league championship game.

In addition, ten days later, the first round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals will start. When the league, League Cup, FA Cup, and UEFA knockout rounds will gather together, this will also be a very important test for the team!

Thinking of this, he hoped that Ai Luo would not be injured.

In Mourinho's tangle, Chelsea began the league journey in February, they challenged the home team Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

I don't know if Ai Luo was excited about being selected for the national team. He showed his best self in front of the fans, scored a goal in the first half and helped the team beat the home team 2-0, thus helping the team continue to lead the standings.

At the same time, he also extended his advantage to 6 goals in the first game, so the pressure was instantly dumped on Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

The next morning after the end of this round of the league, Aiello boarded a flight from London to the United Arab Emirates and Dubai, where the round with the national team started against Iraq for the 2010 World Cup Asian Top [-] qualifiers.

※※※

Due to the delay of the plane, Ai Luo did not arrive at Dubai International Airport until 3 o'clock in the evening on the [-]rd, and it was already [-] o'clock in the evening when he arrived at the Kamadien Hotel where the national football team stayed.

Chelsea's league game was the latest game to end before the international match day, so Aiello also became the last person to return to the team. After arriving at the Carmadine Hotel, he was stopped by reporters who had been waiting for a long time in the hotel lobby.

As the number one star in Asia today, being surrounded by Asian reporters can also see his deterrent power from the side.

Although this round is against Iraq, don't forget...Australia and Qatar will be next. If they enter the final Asian top ten, then...don't other Asian countries worry?

They used to laugh at Chinese journalists before, and some of the world's top players would not use it, but now it's the other way around, and they can't wait to beg Chinese XX football not to use Aiello.

At a glance, they are basically Asian reporters.

Of course... Chinese journalists are the most.

The Chinese team's first match in the first round of the 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian Top 20 qualifiers was on the New Year's Eve night in BJ's time, that is, New Year's Eve. For the Chinese, opening the door is very important.

It is said that the current domestic football atmosphere is unprecedentedly strong. Although the time of the game will conflict with the Spring Festival Gala, it is destined that tonight's Spring Festival Gala will create a new low in history...

Therefore, domestic fans attach great importance to this game, and the large number of reporters who came to Dubai for interviews can be reasonably explained.

In the end, Ai Luo was able to escape from the reporter's grasp with the help of the staff of the Football Association and the security personnel of the hotel...

The head coach of the national team is different from the history. It is not Folado, but... Gao Hongbo who led Changchun Asia-Pacific to win the 2007 Chinese Super League championship!
Although Ai Luo arrived at the hotel where the team stayed at after nine o'clock in the evening, the head coach Gao Hongbo still decided to call all the players to the hotel conference room for a simple welcome meeting.

This standard is very high, midfielder Zheng Zhi, Dortmund pillar Feng Xiaoting, Schalke 04 lone hero Hao Junmin, Werder Bremen striker Gao Lin did not receive such treatment.

Perhaps the entire national team, only Ai Luo is eligible to enjoy such standard treatment.

But... in this situation, someone came up with a slap in the face.

"What? Are you sick and asking for leave?"

Gao Hongbo had already confessed that he would hold a brief meeting after Ai Luo assembled with the national team to share his thoughts on this game, but now he heard his assistant Fu Bo say that Han Peng, Qu Bo, and Li Weifeng asked for leave.

You must know that other than these three players, the other team members have arrived at the scene. This does not mean that you will not give yourself, the head coach who has just taken office, face!
Of course, Ai Luo was also quite upset.

Gao Hongbo frowned, put his hands on his hips, and whispered viciously: "Since you are uncomfortable and ask for leave, then... just wait for the bench to wear it!"

Normally, Gao Hongbo would have turned a blind eye, but now it is different. The new chairman and vice chairman of the Football Association are all leaders who are in charge of politics and doing practical things in their positions. It can be easily seen from the fact that they personally went to London to invite Ai Luo and others to return to the national team.

Isn't Han Peng, Qu Bo, and Li Weifeng's temporary leave now just to send a certain signal?

I have higher qualifications than you, why should I welcome you?
Besides... why do you seize the main position as soon as a newcomer arrives?Is it amazing to play football abroad?Didn't you see that Shao Jia came to the team and started as a substitute?
But...they made a wrong calculation.

The current head coach of the national team has a very high degree of autonomy, which is completely different from the previous football association leaders controlling the training camp and the list of starting players!

※※※

During the second day's training, Gao Hongbo took into account that Ai Luo was the last one to gather with the team, so Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi and others who came back from the European league except him all wore yellow vests that symbolized the main force.

The starting goalkeeper is Wang Xiaolei, the current main goalkeeper of Valencia with experience in the Champions League final.

As China's currently recognized No. [-] star, Ai Luo certainly didn't want to play as a substitute in the first World Cup qualifier, so he communicated with head coach Gao Hongbo immediately.

"Is your body really alright?"

Gao Hongbo was very surprised by Ai Luo's desire to fight. You must know that he just participated in a fierce Premier League match two days ago.

"Director Gao, it's really no problem!" Ai Luo nodded affirmatively.

Having said that, I have to mention the issue of returning players from Europe.

They all arrived in Dubai these two days, why can they occupy the main force?Because the time difference between Europe and Dubai was only three hours, and there was no sign of physical fatigue from yesterday's performance, Gao Hongbo had the courage to occupy them with seven seats in the starting lineup.

That is to say, domestic players compete for the remaining four starting positions.

Therefore, Gao Hongbo's approach directly led to the resistance of Han Peng, Qu Bo, Li Weifeng and others, but what they didn't expect was that the arms could not twist the thighs.

But they also have their own methods, and they have been tried and tested.

The warm-up was completed under the leadership of assistant coach Fu Bo.

According to Gao Hongbo's idea, the game will start at [-] o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Two days before the game, the latest technical and tactical play will be practiced today, and restorative relaxation training will be carried out on the day before the game.

Of course, for many coaches, it is irrational to temporarily change tactics before a big game, but these players in Europe are deeply influenced by advanced European football, and their ability to accept skills and tactics must be much stronger than domestic players.

What Gao Hongbo was going to imitate was Valencia's original tactics, with four defenders dedicated to defense, two intercepting midfielders in the midfield, and the attacking midfielder and three forwards to handle it.

Judging from the highlights of Ai Luo's three seasons, as long as he is there, the game will be fine.

beep beep beep --
At this moment, assistant coach Fu Bo blew his whistle hastily, and the training was interrupted. Gao Hongbo also recovered from his thoughts and ran over quickly.

"You fucking don't think that you are a special NB because you used to show off your power in the national team, but you are actually a fool!!"

Zhao Xuri's temper was very violent, if it weren't for Gao Lin who was also tall and burly, he really couldn't hold him back.

The training was good, Ai Luo received Chen Tao's through ball, and as soon as he slid the ball out, Li Weifeng shoveled from Ai Luo's side and rear without a chance to shovel the ball.

Gao Hongbo knew that the last thing he wanted to see had finally happened.
