Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 155 An Unexpected Meeting

After the game against Guoan, the Chelsea team returned to the Guoan base.

On the third day, Chelsea started closed training again, but this closed training is no longer the previous fully closed mode, but has become semi-closed, which means that the media and fans officially confirmed by Chelsea can watch around, but they must not disturb the team's training.

Although Chelsea won a big victory in this game, there were still many problems exposed, so Mourinho did not care about the surrounding crowd, but directly started targeted tactical training. Under the gaze of the surrounding media and fans, did Mourinho's roar come from the training ground?

After a day of training, Chen Xiaogang was about to return to the rest area with his teammates, when the Chelsea staff came to him.

"Chen, wait a minute, someone is looking for you."

Chen Xiao looked at the passer-by with questioning eyes. Chen Xiao felt very strange. According to Chelsea's management, not everyone can enter the current Guoan training base, but no matter what, Chen Xiao kept his doubts in his heart and followed the staff to an office. Since he was able to find this place through the club, it must be someone who is engaged in football.

Under the leadership of the staff, Chen Xiao walked into the office and looked around for a while. In the office, John, the person in charge of Chelsea's public relations department, was accompanying the middle-aged Xia Guoren, who was talking about something.

"Hi, Chen, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tao Zhengfei, the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of the State of Xia. He is looking for you."

"Mr. Tao, this is Chen Xiao. I won't bother you when you talk next."

When John saw Chen Xiao coming in, he immediately introduced Chen Xiao, and then left the office.

"Hello, Director Tao!" Chen Xiao still felt a little inconceivable that a leader of this level suddenly came here.

"Hello, Chen Xiao, I'm sorry to interrupt your rest. I came here this time to ask you a few things, and I hope you don't mind. Come, let's sit down and chat."

Sure enough, he is a person in a high position, with a very strong aura, Chen Xiao thought to himself.

"Chen Xiao, I heard that the national team invited you to participate. Why did you refuse? Is there any reason?" After Chen Xiao sat down, Director Tao asked straight to the point.

"Director Tao, I said a long time ago that I am a native of Xia, and I would be very happy to play for the country, but you should pay attention to playing for the country, not for a certain person or group of people. Let me give you a simple example. Let me take the match between Chelsea and the national team that will start soon. This game is a very pure commercial friendly match. For Chelsea, it is to build the team's confidence through a weaker opponent. I can’t increase the international points. The only meaning is to inspect the players. If that’s the case, why do you want to recruit players from overseas? Do you know, Director Tao, Shao Jiayi has just transferred to another team this year, and now is the time when European teams are preparing for the new season. Because of this irrelevant game, let players who are trying to integrate into the new team come back to play this game. Do you know what this means? It means that this is using a player's career to satisfy a person's face. Do you now know why I have not joined the national team? Another point is that our country's football has always been a group of laymen leading experts, and the most annoying thing is that this group of laymen don't know how to be humble and arrogant!"

Chen Xiao's words made Tao Zhengfei on the opposite side feel a little uncomfortable, and Chen Xiao's last words also included him in it.

"Chen Xiao, I came here this time because the 08 Olympic Games were held in our capital. The country has actually invested a lot in sports over the years. Many sports are now at a world-class level, but football is indeed a problem. But the problem is not only what you said. There are also many objective factors. I know that domestic football is indeed not well-received at present, but don't worry. You can also play well. You have now become a banner of Xia Guo football. I hope you can take the lead and set an example for the people behind. Here, I also promise you that I hope you can join the national team. As for what you said earlier, we will seriously consider your opinions. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Director Tao, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, as long as the country needs it, I will do it. This is my duty."

"Okay! You understand righteousness so well at a young age. I hope you don't spread rumors about today's conversation. Trust the country. You will see something different soon." Tao Zhengfei's words were full of mystery.

After saying this, Tao Zhengfei left Guoan's training base, and Chen Xiao didn't take this conversation to heart. For Chen Xiao, he had his own ideas about joining the national team, but from the conversation with the other party, Chen Xiao vaguely felt that the country seemed to be serious about solving something this time. No matter what happened in Xia Guo, as long as the country took it seriously, there would be some huge changes. But these were no longer important to Chen Xiao.

Continuous training has made Chelsea more and more comfortable with their new tactics and new formation, and the cooperation between players has become more and more tacit. In particular, the speed at which Chen Xiao and Shevchenko have integrated into the team surprised Mourinho.

Soon the three-day training camp will end again. Chelsea will play against the Xia Guo national team at the Workers' Stadium tomorrow night. This game will attract more attention than the previous game against Guoan.
