Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 119

On March 3, after the final eight in the UEFA Cup, UEFA once again held the quarter-final draw ceremony at Old Trafford, the final venue of the UEFA Cup this season.

After the UEFA Cup enters the quarter-finals, the eight teams will be divided into upper and lower halves, and there will no longer be the protection principle of the same country. That is to say, in the end, civil wars like the Bundesliga, Premier League and La Liga are very likely.

At 8:2004 p.m., as the teams of the lottery were drawn one by one, the final 2005-[-] UEFA Cup quarter-final matchup table came out. In the end, some were happy and some were sad.

The four teams in the upper half are Bayern, Newcastle United, Sevilla, and Tottenham, and the lower half are Mainz, Ajax, Valencia, and Roma.

After the results of the draw came out, various German media congratulated the Bundesliga for avoiding the group draw perfectly. Some fans and media even began to imagine the idea of ​​Bayern and Mainz meeting in the final.

The UEFA Cup quarter-finals matchup is the upper half: Bayern VS Tottenham, Newcastle United VS Sevilla, the second half is: Mainz VS Roma, Ajax VS Valencia.

After the result of the draw came out, Mainz started a new round of preparations. After eliminating opponents one after another, Mainz got used to this situation. The morale of the team is high now. Klopp and all the coaching staff believe that as long as they stick to their own style of play, he believes that no team in the current UEFA Cup is his opponent. When Mainz is preparing hard for the next league and UEFA Cup, someone suddenly finds Chen Xiao.

This day, Chen Xiao finished his day's training, and just returned to the apartment to have a phone conversation with Liu Yifei. At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Chen Xiao wondered who was looking for it at night. When he opened the door, he saw that Shao Jiayi was standing at the door of his apartment with a middle-aged man from Xia Guo.

"Brother Shao, why are you here? Who is this?"

"Go in and talk." Shao Jiayi said.

After arriving at Chen Xiao's apartment, Chen Xiao sat down and asked after pouring water for them.

"Brother Shao, why do you have time to come here? You didn't tell me in advance when you came, so that I could treat you to dinner."

"Chen Xiao, this is Nan Yong, the deputy secretary-general of the Xia Guo Football Association. He came here specifically to find you."

After listening to Shao Jiayi's introduction, after Chen Xiao knew the identity of the visitor, Chen Xiao understood why he came here.

"It turned out to be Secretary-General Nan. Hello, I don't know what you want from me?" Chen Xiao greeted Nanyong humbly.

"Chen Xiao, then I'll cut to the chase. I came here specially to invite you to join the national team. Now we have encountered some troubles in the World Cup qualifiers. I hope you can put aside the past and play for the country."

"Secretary-General Nan, I'm afraid it's not just the troubles you mentioned. I'm also from the Xia Kingdom, and I will also pay attention to the games in the Asian region. You are inviting me over now, and I am not a fairy."

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, both Nan Yong and Shao Jiayi were a little embarrassed. Indeed, Xia Guo's current situation in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup is exactly as Chen Xiao said. It cannot be solved by one or two people. The two sufferers of the Xia Guo team, the most uncomfortable thing is that the games against Iran and Japan were both away games, which made the Xia Guo team very uncomfortable.

At this point, the Xia country national team only had Chen Xiao as a life-saving straw.

"Chen Xiao, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. I hope you can start from the overall situation. Now the fate of the national team is in your hands. Didn't you say before that as long as it is an official intercontinental game, as long as the national team calls, you will definitely participate?" Nan Yong's words made Chen Xiao feel very wrong. What does it mean that the fate of the national team is in his own hands?

"Secretary-General Nan, yes, I said that I would follow the call of the national team at any time, but I am not a fool, and I am not a bargaining chip for you officials to be promoted. I can fight for the country, but I will not fight for you politicians."

"Chen Xiao, what do you mean? I didn't come all the way here to be angry with you. Young man, don't get cocky after a little achievement. You still have a long way to go. As long as you unconditionally join the national team this time and apologize to the Football Association in the media for what happened before, our Football Association will be your strong backing in the future."

After listening to Nan Yong's words, Chen Xiao looked at him like an idiot. Even Shao Jiayi next to him couldn't bear to look directly at him. This shit is everywhere. Shao Jiayi didn't expect that as a representative of the Football Association, he could say such unintelligent words. Do you think the Xia Guo National Team is a sweet bun?
"Secretary-General Nan, thank you for your trust, but I feel that I am still far from the level of the national team that you require. In order not to drag down the performance of the national team, I will not participate in the national team competition for the time being. It is already very late now. I have to train tomorrow, so I won't keep you."

Chen Xiao directly issued the order to evict the guest.

Chen Xiao knew that such a refusal would do no good, and if it didn’t work out, something would happen again, but Chen Xiao was not afraid of the Football Association’s small tricks, because after the incident last time, when Chen Xiao saw Nan Yong tonight, he turned on the small tape recorder, and all the conversation with Nan Yong just now was recorded, so that he would not be afraid that the Football Association would splash dirty water on him.

After Nan left courageously, Shao Jiayi also made a special call to apologize to Chen Xiao.

As expected, something happened the next day. Chen Xiao didn't know until he received a call from Luo Tianhe at the club. A domestic sports media reported the news about the football association inviting Chen Xiao to join the national team. In this news, Chen Xiao was criticized to pieces, saying that Chen Xiao had completely forgotten his identity as a native of Xia, and that such unpatriotic people should not be idols of domestic fans, and should be banned.As soon as this news was reported, it immediately caused an uproar in the country. Many fans were misled by the news. Many people followed the trend online and said that Chen Xiao was going to be banned, saying that Chen Xiao's character was not good.

After Chen Xiao knew these things, Chen Xiao directly informed Luo Tianhe on the phone to let him hold a press conference directly in China, and then sent the recording directly to Luo Tianhe through the Internet, and asked Luo Tianhe to directly send a lawyer's letter to this media in his name, and collected all those who insulted him and Liu Yifei on the Internet to send a unified lawyer's letter.
