Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 69 National Team

Just as the Mainz team was preparing for the next round of the league with high morale, a fax made Klopp very annoyed.

On the afternoon of the second day after the match against Stuttgart, the Mainz club received a fax from the Xia Guo Football Association. The content of the fax was to recruit Chen Xiao to participate in the Xia Guo national team's overseas training in France and to participate in the East Asian semi-finals held in Japan a week later.

This means that once Chen Xiao participates, he will have to leave the team for at least 15 days, which makes Klopp unable to accept such a result. 15 days means that Chen Xiao will miss at least 4 league games and the second game of the first round of the UEFA Cup.This is a bolt from the blue for Mainz.

Because of the tense relationship between UEFA and FIFA, clubs dare not let go of their own players on international match days, but the FIFA virus lasts only three days at most. Klopp’s 15-day period like Chen Xiao’s is unheard of. If it’s just an insignificant player, it’s okay to say the past, but Chen Xiao is the core of Mainz’s offense. If he leaves the team for 15 days, wouldn’t the sky fall.

After receiving the fax, Klopp also deliberately checked the so-called East Asian semi-finals. After checking, Klopp wished his nose was crooked. This so-called East Asian semi-finals was not a FIFA A-level match, but just a friendly match between four Asian teams. Klopp was speechless about this situation.

But no matter how angry Klopp is, he knows that the final result of this matter does not depend on him, and ultimately depends on Chen Xiao's thoughts. If Chen Xiao is determined to go, then Mainz can only watch helplessly.

After thinking for a long time in the office, Klopp decided to call Chen Xiao over and let him decide.

After Chen Xiao arrived at Klopp's office, he sat down after being signaled by Klopp.

"Boss, what's the matter? What do you want from me?"

"Chen, I have received a fax from the Xia Guo Football Association, please read it first." After speaking, Klopp handed the fax to Chen Xiao.

After receiving it, Chen Xiao looked at the content carefully. To be honest, when Klopp said that it was a fax from the Xia Guo Football Association, Chen Xiao guessed that he was invited to join the national team. At first, Chen Xiao was very excited. It is a great honor for a descendant of Chinese people to represent his country. However, after reading the content, Chen Xiao gradually became a little angry and helpless.

As a descendant of Yan Huang, I am proud of my country, but I am also a professional player. The whole club treats me very well. You say you want to play a friendly match and it is not a FIFA A-level match. You want me to give up the club game and go back. The most important thing is that the time is too long. Even if the players of those clubs want to go back to participate in the friendly match, it only takes a few days to go back and forth. The ambition is lost in everyone, especially the laymen of the Football Association, who are simply the culprits.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao raised his head and asked, "Boss, what do you think about it?"

"Chen, as the head coach of Mainz, I certainly don't want you to go back to participate in this useless game, but this matter ultimately depends on you. After all, it is your home country, and no one else can interfere with you. However, Chen, no matter what decision you make, the club and I will support you." Klopp said to Chen Xiao solemnly.

"Well, boss, I don't want to go back to participate in this kind of competition. If there are important competitions in the future, I hope you will not stop me. After all, as you just said, it is my motherland after all, and it is a country I love very much."

"Okay, Chen, I respect your decision. I just said that no matter what decision you make, we will support you, but there is one thing I want to tell you. You refused this time. I think it will be a little trouble for you to join again."

"I'm fine. I thought it wasn't me asking to join, but they begging me. Boss, that's it. I'll go back first. Please help me refuse."

Klopp nodded, looked at his proud disciple and smiled.

Afterwards, Klopp notified the club's staff to send Chen Xiao's decision to refuse to participate in the training camp and the East Asian Final Four to the Xia Guo Football Association.

After the communication with Klopp, Chen Xiao returned to the training ground again. Chen Xiao, who was actively preparing for the second round of the league with his teammates, did not know that after receiving a fax that he refused to participate in the training camp, the atmosphere in the office of the person in charge of the Xia Guo Football Association seemed to freeze immediately.

"At such a young age, it is unreasonable to be so arrogant with a little achievement. I want to block him, completely block him. I originally wanted to use this training camp to give him a chance, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary." The middle-aged leader behind a large desk slapped the table angrily and shouted.

"Boss, calm down, we may not be able to block him very well. This Chen Xiao is not a professional registered with us, but a player registered in Germany." A man with the appearance of a secretary said.

"Then contact the media and tell him that he refuses the call of the national team and refuses to play for the country. If he can't be banned, then he will be stigmatized. I'll see what waves he can cause."

"Okay, boss, I'll get in touch later."

"Well, I want him to beg me in the future. Don't let him suffer at such a young age. I don't know how arrogant he will be in the future? The national team has a lot less him, and one more him is not much."

While the domestic football association was still discussing how to deal with him, Chen Xiao also returned home after a day of training.

As soon as he got home, Chen Xiao received a call.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Chen Xiao, I am Shao Jiayi, did you reject the invitation of the national team today?"

"Yes, brother Shao, how do you know?"

"Chen Xiao, what do you think? Let me tell you that those people are not easy to mess with."

"Brother Shao, let me tell you the truth. If it's a competition like the World Cup or the Olympics, I will definitely go all out. But I don't want to participate in a friendly match like this. It doesn't make any sense, and it will take almost half a month to go. It's not fair to the club. Brother Shao, I also advise you not to participate. I know that your recent situation is not good. If you want to participate, your club's position may be taken away."

On the other end of the phone, Shao Jiayi quietly listened to Chen Xiao's words. He knew that what Chen Xiao said was very reasonable. After 15 days, he had to give up his hard-won main position in Cottbus.As soon as last season ended, Shao Jiayi left 1860 Munich and moved to Cottbus in the Bundesliga.

"Chen Xiao, I'm not you. I'm a player registered in China. I know that my hard work before I go will be in vain, but there is no way."

Listening to Shao Jiayi's answer, Chen Xiao kept silent, feeling sad and sad for Shao Jiayi. Just such a frivolous fax could make all of Shao Jiayi's efforts in the summer go to waste, and after 15 days, he would have to start all over again. Thinking of this, Chen Xiao was even more convinced that his decision was right.

In the end, Shao Jiayi also revealed to Chen Xiao on the phone that those people from the Football Association might use the media to slander Chen Xiao and want to make Chen Xiao bad.

After listening to Shao Jiayi's reminder, Chen Xiao didn't say anything, thinking: It's better not to mess with me, otherwise it depends on who messes up who.
