Chapter 462 Prospects for the World Cup
The days have entered May, not only various European clubs have begun to fully prepare for the final game of various competitions, but many national teams have also warmed up for the World Cup.

Since the venues of this World Cup are island countries and South Korea, this is definitely a golden opportunity for the national football team.

For many national football players, flying to Incheon is not as far as returning home.

Regardless of the climate or the environment, the national football team adapts faster than players from other countries.

This is the advantage!
Even many optimistic fans threatened: This World Cup is the World Cup at home.And the World Cup at home has arrived, can it be far behind to host the World Cup at home?
On the surface, domestic football is thriving. Driven by Bai Xiaotian, many national football and Olympic players choose to study abroad.As for the new National Youth Team, a group of people also came to the second division leagues of various countries in Europe and South America for trial training.

The average level of players is getting higher and higher, and the gold content of A-A is also increasing.

When the national football team entered the World Cup for the first time, the Football Association had already included a plan to apply for hosting the World Cup.

There are generally two conditions for the host country of the World Cup. First, the host country is generally held in rotation on different continents; this World Cup in Japan and South Korea has already been held in Asia, so if China wants to host the World Cup, it will basically be useless in the next three editions.Therefore, the goal of the Football Association's plan is to hold the 2018 or 2022 World Cup campaign.

During this period, the Chinese team only needs to enter the World Cup once more, and after having entered the World Cup twice, it will meet the basic requirements for hosting the World Cup.

Therefore, the Football Association has proposed a "20-year plan", from youth training to exporting abroad, and is determined to raise the overall strength of the national football team to a higher level within 20 years.

At that time, with the influence of the Chinese team in the world, presumably hosting the World Cup will be like the Olympics, and it will be at your fingertips!
Throughout April, the national football team trained almost at the Yunnan Hongta Training Base.It was not until the end of the month that a friendly match was held in Incheon.

On April 4, the national football team drew 27-0 in a friendly match with South Korea.

After the game, Li Tie was named the best player of the game and received a reward of 300 million won.

At the press conference after the game, Milu expressed his satisfaction with the result of the game and believed that the game was of great help to the preparation of the national football team.

But Hiddink was in a bad mood, and only said that this game could give players on both sides a boost of confidence.

The Dutch coach knows very well what kind of composition this Chinese team is.There are many main players in the national football team who have not returned to the team, such as Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi and other overseas players.

More importantly, the Chinese team's nuclear weapons are still in the Netherlands.

Now the whole of Europe is clear about one thing: Eindhoven with Bai Xiaotian and without Bai Xiaotian are completely two teams.

Bai Xiaotian alone can double the fighting power of Eindhoven. When the Chinese team is equipped with such players, how will their strength be improved?

The Chinese team who have studied abroad is like equipping the soldiers with steel knives, while the Chinese team with Bai Xiaotian is like discovering that someone on the other side is carrying an AK47 in the era of cold weapons!

But now, the South Korean team can't even beat the "bare-handed" Chinese team. It seems that the World Cup process is worrying!

The person in charge of the Korean Football Association touched his chin after watching the game. As one of the host countries, it would be a shame if they couldn't even make it to the group stage.

It seems that Plan B is about to be put on the charter!

After the friendly match with South Korea, the national football team returned to the Hongta Base.

On May 5, the National Football Association held a press conference, announcing the list of Nigerian team members visiting China, and confirmed that the National Football Association will have a warm-up match with Nigeria on May 5.

But the Nigeria Football Association announced that night, because the country's sports minister Aku was killed in a plane crash over the weekend.This warm-up match conflicted with the date of his funeral, so the warm-up match with the national football team originally scheduled for the 11th was cancelled, and it was stated that it would compensate the Chinese Football Association with 70 US dollars.

Due to the contract signed by the Football Association and the sponsors, the National Football Association must play 5 warm-up matches in May, otherwise the Chinese Football Association will have to pay liquidated damages.Under this circumstance, the Football Association has carried out crazy public relations work to find the nearest warm-up match opponents.

On May 5th, European players such as Yang Chen and Sun Jihai returned to the team one after another after handling the club's matches. The national football team also found a new warm-up match opponent-Thailand!

Looking at the returning returnee general, Milu standing on the high platform had a feeling of pointing the country.

As a magical coach, the Chinese team is the fifth weak team he led to enter the World Cup.Coupled with the fact that China's domestic football situation is so complicated, it's hard for Milu not to be proud at this time.

"Shen, what did Bai say?" Seeing Shen Xiangfu who hung up the phone, Milu squatted down on the high platform and asked.

"PSV Eindhoven just won the Eredivisie championship. Xiaotian has been carnival with the whole team all day, and now he just woke up." Shen Xiangfu's old face smiled into a chrysanthemum. After all, in a sense, he is still half a master of Bai Xiaotian.

"Oh! That's what it should be! Young man, it's normal to celebrate after winning the championship. But his leg is injured."

"Should be fine!" Shen Xiangfu waved his fist, "Didn't you also watch Mr. Milu? He started the game in the final match of the Eredivisie and played almost the entire field. It seems that the leg injury should be fine! It is estimated that the injury he suffered at the beginning was not very serious. It is just that the Dutch hospital is not good enough, hahahahaha"

"It's fine, it's fine!" Milu muttered, and continued to ask: "Then did he say when he will return to the team?"

"I've said it!" Speaking of this, Shen Xiangfu's eyes lit up again. "All the matches in the Eredivisie are over, but PSV still has the more important UEFA Champions League final to play. So he will not return to the team at present. However, PSV will not relax during this period. After today, they will train as usual. Xiaotian said that after the Champions League is over, he will come to China with the PSV team for a warm-up match, so don't worry about him."

"Phew!" Milu heaved a sigh of relief and sat down.Looking at the national football players training on the field, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If I were a magical coach, he would be a magical player! I have never seen such a magical young man. His current results perfectly repay his dedication! But even so, I did not expect that he could advance to this step. No matter what the result of the game is in a few days, he will become the most popular player in the world!"

On the evening of May 5, the national football team faced the Thai Asian Games team at the Tuodong Stadium in Kunming.

The Chinese Football Association previously claimed that the opponent was the authentic Thai national team, but in fact, because most of the main force of the Thai national team is currently in the Singapore and Vietnam leagues, so this time the team coming to China is the second team of Thailand, which is preparing to participate in the Busan Asian Games.

Despite the obvious difference in strength, the Thai team used aggressive fighting at the beginning to force the national football team to make frequent mistakes, and was very successful in defending the crosses from both sides of the national football team.

Just at the beginning of the second half, the national football team has undergone a major mobilization, and almost a completely different lineup has been used in the entire midfield.

The national football team, which has greatly mobilized the lineup, is obviously not suitable. In the 63rd minute, the goalkeeper of the Thai team, Raon Pha, kicked a goal kick and passed it directly to the penalty area.

After the national football team made personnel transfers, in the 78th minute, Qu Bo made a direct pass to find Wu Chengying.

Two minutes later, Li Ming made a long diagonal pass from the right, and Zhang Yuning made a header from the corner of the small penalty area on the left. Su Maozhen easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

In the 87th minute, Wu Chengying took a well-placed free kick from the right side of the front court. Su Maozhen scored another header and completed his hat-trick of the game.

In the end, the National Football Team won the game 3-1.

After the game, Su Maozhen was named the best player of the game and won a bonus of RMB 1.

The first warm-up match before the World Cup was won, and such a good start made football fans in all countries see the dawn.It seems that the World Cup is not so terrible.
