Chapter 35 U21 national team call-up

"The No. 11 player of the Spanish Real Madrid team, Zhou Xing, is now recruited to return to China to participate in the Chinese national youth team below U21. Please return to Shenyang Wulihe training base for a one-month training within three days after receiving this fax." Luxenberg In his hand, he held a fax of the Chinese Football Association.

"Zhou Xing, what do you think?" Real Madrid's coach frowned and asked Zhou Xing.

"Great, the national youth team. I heard that we will go to the Netherlands to participate in the World Youth Championship in one month." Hearing this news, Zhou Xing jumped up excitedly.This time, he can finally play for the motherland.

"Just, think about it. Now, you have just stabilized your main position in the team. Besides, the next stage is the most critical stage of the league, and the Champions League. I think one month of training time is really too much Bar."

Luxenberg spoke his mind.In fact, what he meant was that he hoped that Zhou Xing could explain to the Chinese Football Association not to participate in this so-called training camp.Just go when the game is over, that's fine.In his heart, Chinese football is not very good.Even if they are locked together for a year of training, they may not achieve any results.It's just that it's hard for him to say that.

"But coach, my teammates of the national youth team and I have been training together. If we cooperate, then how can I adapt to the team's play style and tactical needs?" Said.

"Let me discuss it with the other coaches of the club. Also, the one-month training period is too long. You can ask your National Football Association if it can be reduced appropriately. You know, you need one month. If you play in the Netherlands, it will probably take a month. In this case, how do you deal with the club's games? The club bought you, probably not because they want you to play a few games."

Seeing that Zhou Xing seemed to want to go back to the national team for training instead of staying in the team, Luxenberg said with a livid face.When he turned to leave, he added: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, you may not have a place in the club. In my lineup, what I need is stability."

This sentence undoubtedly threatened Zhou Xing to obey the coach's arrangement, otherwise, when the game came, he wouldn't even be a substitute.Although the coach cannot decide the transfer of a certain player, he can control the number of times he plays and decide whether he can stay in the first team.

"Okay, coach. I'll discuss it with my agent. She was sent by the Chinese Football Association and should be able to talk a little bit." Hearing what Luxenberg said, Zhou Xing had no choice but to answer.

At this time, his heart was full of hesitation.If he insists on going back now, Luxenberg must be very angry.Besides, Real Madrid has just climbed to the top of the list and has also won a victory in the Champions League.In terms of the main lineup, the offensive style of the trident in the frontcourt has just been determined.Once I left, the team had to change their style of play and formulate their tactics again, which might be a troublesome thing.

In the past three months, he has just formed a tacit understanding with his teammates.Zhou Xing also slowly got used to Ronaldo and Raul's running habits and their way of thinking.

"Let's discuss it with Chen Yao and see what she thinks." Picking up his mobile phone, Zhou Xing dialed Chen Yao's number.

"I have something to do with you. I'll wait for you here at the stadium." After saying this, Zhou Xing hung up the phone and waited for Chen Yao's arrival by the side of the stadium.

"What do you want from me?" Ten and a half minutes later, Chen Yao hurried to Zhou Xing's place.Today she is wearing a gray denim suit, which outlines the curves of her body very beautifully.In addition, his own hair is also a ponytail, which looks very capable.The fair face, paired with jewel-like eyes, immediately attracted the attention of men.

"Here, take a look." After passing the fax of the Chinese Football Association to Chen Yao, Zhou Xing watched her reaction and expression.

Picking up the fax, Chen Yao read it roughly. "What, you are recruited to participate in the national youth team below U21 to participate in the training camp? These guys are out of their minds." Seeing this, Chen Yao cursed loudly.

Everyone knows that Zhou Xing is now the most important time in his career. He has just taken the main position in the team and is still playing well.If he goes to the training camp now, he will definitely miss at least 4 rounds of the league and 3 games in the Champions League.These games will affect whether Real Madrid's two major goals this year can be achieved.

Now recruiting Zhou Xing to participate in such a long training camp is of course an unacceptable condition for Real Madrid.Besides, Real Madrid has a lot of players, and now there may be many substitutes who are eager for Zhou Xing to leave, so that they can take the main position.After two months, if someone takes Zhou Xing's position, what will he do?
After pondering for a while, Chen Yao asked, "Have you talked to Coach Luxenberg? What's his opinion?"

"His opinion is to ask me to stay and participate in the Real Madrid game, and said that now is an extraordinary period. If I leave, I'm afraid I can't. If I really leave, he threatens that I will not be able to sit in the main team when I come back. Location. Thinking of Luxenberg's serious expression, Zhou Xing was still a little scared.

"Well, I'll call the Chinese Football Association and discuss it." Chen Yao picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Chinese Football Association.

After dialing the phone, Chen Yao went to a place where Zhou Xing could not hear, and discussed things with the leaders on the phone.Looking at Chen Yao's way of talking and shouting, Zhou Xing knew that things might not be going well.

"They said no, you have to go back. They said that this training camp was decided by the Football Association long ago, and the central leadership will come to check it. If there is no top star like you by then, then the results of the Football Association will be reduced by half. "Chen Yao finished talking about the thoughts of the heads of the Football Association angrily, with a helpless look on her face.

"What if you don't go to the training camp?" Zhou Xing asked.

"If you don't go, you may lose your chance to go to the Netherlands." Chen Yao replied helplessly.She is also very disgusted with this rogue approach of the Football Association.

However, she also knows that the Football Association can say and do it.Back then, the Chinese Basketball Association once banned Wang Zhizhi, who was playing in the NBA, who didn't want to participate in the training camp, so he couldn't go back home.Chen Yao was also very surprised by the serious consequences.

"Can't participate in the national team competition? Is this serious?" Zhou Xing said in surprise.

"Yes, this is China. In China, that's how it is." After speaking, Chen Yao also explained to him the stakes and let him think about it for himself.

"Forget it, I think I'd better go back to China to participate in the training camp." Zhou Xing thought for a while and said to Chen Yao.

"What about the club? What do you do?" Chen Yao asked in surprise.Originally, she thought that Zhou Xing would choose not to participate in the training camp in the end, so as to preserve the future of her club.After all, compared to national honor, one's own future seems to be more realistic.

Besides, this training camp doesn't seem to have much meaning, and it doesn't have much to do with national honor or anything.At best, it's just a group of jumping clowns from the Football Association trying to pull Zhou Xing back for appearances.As for the significance of the training camp itself, no one knows whether they have considered it or not.

"On the club side, I can only hope that Coach Luxenberg will release him as much as possible. You know, when I became a Chinese citizen and chose to become a Chinese, I hoped to represent the Chinese national team. If I don't If you go back, you will be deprived of the qualification to participate in the competition, so what should you do?"

Zhou Xing said emotionally, and his tone was also very bitter.In his eyes, ten games for the club are not as good as one game for the national team.Now, what he is most looking forward to is to put on the jersey of the national team, represent the national team and win the game.

"In this case, I think my parents and Grandpa Li in the sky will be very happy." Zhou Xing suddenly thought of his deceased relatives, and Zhou Xing felt a burst of sadness.The three people closest to him in this world are now in another world far away.Thinking of their blurred faces, Zhou Xing's heart still throbbed.

Looking at Zhou Xing's sad look, Chen Yao thought that he was afraid of losing the qualification to represent the national team.Seeing this, she hurriedly comforted: "No, I believe the Chinese Football Association will not be so stupid."

"No, I just thought of my parents, and Grandpa Li." Thinking of the distance between the four of us, Zhou Xing choked up and said, tears flowed from his eyes and slowly rolled down his cheeks on the ground.This 16-year-old boy showed his vulnerable side in his feelings.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Chen Yao looked at the big boy in front of him crying, panicked, and hurriedly picked up her handkerchief, and comforted Zhou Xing while wiping Zhou Xing's tears.

When outsiders look at Zhou Xing, they feel that he seems to have a great reputation, a football genius who is admired by countless people.But in his heart, he is just a child longing for love.

What's even more unfortunate is that he didn't even have a complete childhood.His parents left him when he was three years old.When he was seven years old, he even lost his closest grandpa Li.At this time, he needs to rely on his own ability to take care of himself.

While other children were acting like a spoiled child in their parents' arms, Zhou Xing could only silently clean up the turf of the stadium, or try to clean up pairs of sneakers before placing them neatly.When other children were wronged and cried under the comfort of their parents, he could only hide in a corner alone and sob softly.

In one song, there is the line "it's not a sin for a man to cry".As for Zhou Xing, he can only be regarded as a boy, and he also has the right to vent his pain.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Zhou Xing found that he was leaning on Chen Yao's shoulder at some point, and there was a wet mark on her clothes.All this made his face turn red.At this time, Zhou Xing really wanted to find a hole in the ground to drill down in order to avoid this embarrassment.

"It's nothing, it's better to cry. I'll think about the national team training." Looking at the big boy in front of her, Chen Yao stopped thinking about teasing him again.

"Okay, that's it, I'm still going to practice." Zhou Xing ran away quickly after finding an excuse.While running, he scolded himself in his heart: "Oh, you are really not a man. It's too embarrassing, too embarrassing."

After a lot of effort, Chen Yao finally helped Zhou Xing finish the training camp.Three days later, Chen Yao happily informed Zhou Xing, "Okay, it's OK. The Football Association promised that you can go to the training camp three weeks later, and only train for one week. Coach Luxenberg has already agreed to such a condition."

"Thank you so much." Zhou Xing cheered, he didn't expect that at the last moment, Chen Yao would find such a beautiful way, which made him very excited.

"However, I communicated with Coach Luxenberg. He said that if you lose one game in these three weeks, you may return to China to participate in the training camp." At the end, Chen Yao explained Luxenberg's request.

"Okay, I will try my best to compete, and I will work hard to be able to train intensively." Shouting at Chen Yao, Zhou Xing happily ran to the training ground to train.

This 16-year-old boy is like an ordinary teenager at this time, carefree.But on the court, he is calm and rational like an adult.

"Compared to him on the court, I still like him like this." Looking at Zhou Xing's back, Chen Yao thought silently. "I want to rely on my own ability to let this young man live happily and without worries." In her heart, Chen Yao also set goals for herself.For Zhou Xing, she always has an inexplicable affection.
