Chapter 39 Liu Ting joins the Olympic team?
Liu Ting's goal made Saint-Etienne's defense meaningless. Ruse began to direct the team to attack from the sidelines. At least one goal must be scored to make defense meaningful.

After Saint-Etienne came out, Bordeaux played much easier. Saint-Etienne's offense has not yet achieved results, and his goal was broken again.

In the 85th minute, Cavinaghi received a pass from Berlyon in the penalty area and shot through the opponent's goal angrily. Saint-Etienne, who was pushed out, did not defend Cavinaghi in the penalty area so tightly. Cavinaghi seized the opportunity and this goal killed the game.

In the end, Bordeaux defeated Saint-Etienne 2-0 at home without any risk, and continued to maintain the top position with a 1-point advantage.

At the end of the match between Bordeaux and St. Etienne, the Chinese Olympic team had already finished the European training. They had lost a game in four games. Even against their opponents, the French team St. Antiste, which they believed to be confident, they could only end 0-0. In order to be on the safe side, they even called Dong Fangzhuo of Manchester United to France before the game. But even if they joined Dong Fangzhuo’s Olympic team, they still couldn’t win. The reserve team with a large number of youth team players was sent, and the Olympic team could not win.

After the news was sent back to China, it was criticized in various ways. In fact, when the Olympic team was established, many fans still had confidence in the team. After all, the Football Association took the lead in everything and focused on the Olympic team.

Even if this is the case, it can be regarded as creating the history of Chinese football. It was the first time to win the runner-up of the Toulon Cup, which made many people have confidence in this Olympic team. Some people even shouted the slogan of winning the 08 Olympic Games.

The Toulon Cup is an invitational tournament held in France. It mainly invites youth teams under the age of 22 from various countries to participate. It is a very popular youth player event. In European countries, it attracts more attention than the World Youth Championship. Because it is held in France every year, France sends the strongest young player lineup. The French youth team has won 10 championships in the history of the Toulon Cup.

The current Olympic team is getting worse day by day. Last year they practiced and fought in Europe, and this year they lost four games. In fact, since the end of last year, the Olympic team has lost seven rounds in a row.

While the country was rushing to report on the Olympic scandal, "Chinese Football" reported an article titled "Should Liu Ting be invited to the Olympic team?" "The article said: "Liu Ting was born in La Masia's youth training camp and has proficient foot skills. He is now the main striker of the French giants Bordeaux. He is fully capable of joining the Chinese national team. He is only 19 years old now, and he does not need to occupy the overage quota to join the Olympic team. The most important thing is that Monaco, where Liu Ting's nationality belongs to, does not have its own national team. It is completely suitable to invite him now..."

Olympic football is restricted to young players from all over the world who are under 23 years old to participate in teams, but each team can have 3 overage quotas.

This article soon gained a lot of attention, especially those fans who knew Liu Ting's level were very enthusiastic about this matter. Liu Ting's joining will definitely greatly improve the strength of the Olympic team.

Zhang Qiming has also been concerned about Liu Ting's joining the Olympic team recently. On the one hand, he hopes that a capable player like Liu Ting can help Chinese football.

Zhang Qiming logged into Liu Ting's post bar on the computer familiarly. Sure enough, he saw that there were discussions everywhere in the post bar on whether to call Liu Ting into the national team. Some supported and some opposed.

Annoyed, Zhang Qiming didn't go to make trouble with those fans, but skillfully received the video of the Ligue [-] match sent by the 'French student', and posted it on the Post Bar later.

Zhang Qiming tentatively sent a message to the 'French student': "Do you know Liu Ting? Does he intend to join the Chinese Olympic team or the Chinese national team?"

Zhang Qiming was just asking tentatively. The time in China is afternoon, and it should be noon in France. I don't know if the other party has seen it.The registered account of this 'French student' on the post bar is 'I am Liu Ting'. There are many such names in the post bar, such as big star Liu Ting, Barcelona star Liu Ting, football king Liu Ting, etc. There is even a guy named Liu Radonna. Zhang Qiming is not surprised by the account 'I am Liu Ting'.

"Yes, I have asked him to sign, but I don't know about joining the Chinese national team. Why do you suddenly ask about this? Does it depend on the opinion of the Chinese Football Association?" Unexpectedly, the other party replied soon. After reading the news, Zhang Qiming thought the same thing. At least the Chinese Football Association has the final say.

Zhang Qiming keenly noticed the words "signed and signed", so he asked: "Hey, buddy, can you help me also get a signature and send it to me in China, and I can give you money."

The other person quickly replied: "No problem, just give me your address. It doesn't cost much for a signature, and there is no need for money."

Zhang Qiming happily sent the address, thinking that there are still many good people in this world.

Seeing a post in the post bar discussing what kind of achievements Liu Ting can lead the Chinese team to achieve by joining the national team, the discussion in the post was full of enthusiasm, so Zhang Qiming went to post a sentence: It is not the Chinese Football Association's decision whether Liu Ting enters the national team or not!

The post quickly went cold.

Liu Ting, who is in Bordeaux, France, was browsing the news on this website and various forums. Sure enough, people in China were discussing whether he should be called up to the national team. It seemed that only a few traditional newspapers published articles discussing this matter, such as "Chinese Football", and this topic was everywhere on the Internet.

Liu Ting thought to himself: Is there any Wang Fa anymore? No one came to ask his opinion, so he went around talking about whether he should join the Chinese national team.

Liu Ting knows what the current domestic football environment is like. He doesn't want to go into this muddy water, and his own nationality is a big obstacle. He doesn't have the awareness to give up Monaco's nationality in order to play for the country.

Liu Ting dialed Li Yuyang's phone number: "Li Yuyang, what's the matter with your "Chinese Football"? I don't know at all and you just want to report my entry into the Chinese national team. I don't think you have any sincerity in cooperation?"

Li Yuyang was a little sweaty on his forehead. This matter was reported by the domestic side on his own initiative, and he only found out about it later. He was lucky enough to think that Liu Ting and his agency were from Europe, so they probably didn't know the domestic situation. He didn't expect that Liu Ting would come to accuse him so soon.

Li Yuyang explained: "The main reason for this is that two small media first reported that you should be recruited into the Olympic team. It seems that the Football Association has no such intention and issued a gag order not to report this matter. Our "Chinese Football" has always been something that is not allowed by the Football Association.

After hearing this, Liu Ting felt much better. The main reason is that the Football Association seems to be very resistant to him joining the Chinese national team, so that he doesn’t have to worry about conflicts with the Chinese Football Association.

Liu Ting said: "Well, in the future, if there is anything about me in China, I need to communicate with my agency first. I don't want to have such a thing next time. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

"Okay, okay."

Li Yuyang, who hung up the phone, felt a little sad. On the one hand, there were cracks in the cooperation between the two parties after this incident. On the other hand, it seemed that Liu Ting was very resistant to joining the Chinese national team. As a Chinese, it is a bit of a shame to see such a good player not being able to contribute to Chinese football.

Liu Ting is thinking in his heart that he needs to find a person who is in charge of domestic affairs in the future. Of course, he doesn't need it now, and he will talk about it later when he becomes famous.

After the game against Saint-Etienne, there is only 3 days of rest time for the next round of the game. In the 23rd round of Ligue 10, Bordeaux will challenge Lorient away.Lorient is currently ranked 8th in Ligue 5 and is in a position of no difference. However, Lorient has a good home record. Nearly 3 home games have [-] wins and [-] draws and remain unbeaten.

This away game may not be easy to play, and Bordeaux also "lived up to expectations" in the away game, and was defeated by Lorient, who was in a defensive counterattack formation, 1:0.

Bordeaux was not in very good form throughout the game, probably due to the influence of the double match in a week. In short, several opportunities were wasted. Liu Ting had a supplementary shot and was ejected by the goal post, and a single shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

After the game, Blanco announced that the team's one-day holiday after the game would be cancelled, and no one dared to complain.

Fortunately, Lyon was not strong enough. They challenged Saint-Etienne, who had just been defeated by Bordeaux, in an away game. The result was a 1:1 draw, and they had the same points as Bordeaux. They relied on goal difference to overwhelm Bordeaux and ranked first. Bordeaux is still acceptable. After all, everyone has the same points.
