Chapter 484

The Oriental Pearl Tower is still shining in the night sky, and the colorful neon lights on the streets have also turned Shanghai into a city without night.

Eindhoven players and national football players got drunk in the hall, and many of them lay under the table after drinking too much, immersed in a beautiful dreamland.Everyone knew that when he woke up, he might not be here anymore.

".Gao Yao is versatile and one of the candidates for the defensive midfielder. If Fan Zhiyi still stays in the back line, then there are not many people in this position. As for the right midfield position, Li Xiaopeng has been in a stable state. Although Qu Bo has been on the front line in the past two games, he can still play the right midfielder. I have other considerations, but it is too early to say it now, and this is my secret!"

In this quiet night, Milu made a summary report in front of Zhu Heyuan, Shen Xiangfu, Chi Shangbin and Xu Tao, and then slowly named three people.

And after the names of these three people were spoken, no matter how much Shen Xiangfu and others objected, Milu only said one sentence: "I made these decisions out of consideration for the Chinese team as a whole. If you object, then I have no way to stay here any longer."

Hearing what Milu said, Eye Gum also quickly stood up to smooth things over. "Okay, okay, that's it! In fact, it's hard to choose who to eliminate and who to keep. Now that the result has been reached, let's do it according to Coach Milu's decision!"

The eyeballs talked too much, and Shen Xiangfu and the others also shut their mouths.At this moment, whether it is regret or pity, the few people present are all thinking about the national football team and the World Cup.

Abandoning the ego for the sake of the big ego, this kind of thing is all too familiar to Chinese people.

What's more, it's a national football player.

Early the next morning, three hangover national football players were woken up.Perhaps when they woke up, they already understood their fate.

In the conference room, Milu said to the three people who were still wearing the Chinese team uniforms in front of them: "...you have played many games for the Chinese team, and you are all excellent players. We have cooperated very happily in the past two years. I regret to say goodbye now, but there is no other way, I can only make the final decision."

"Okay, coach, I accept the organizational arrangement." The three of them stood at attention, like a soldier, with expressionless faces, and accepted Milu's decision without hesitation.

After Milu finished speaking, he got up and left the meeting room, returning to his room.

In the conference room, the three national football fighters who were still standing there tried hard to hold back the tears in their eyes.

Everything is so real and so cruel!
At the press conference a few hours later, Milu was silent for a while in front of the strange scenes in the audience, and then slowly said into the microphone: "At this moment, I am really sad. This is the most painful moment as a coach. But for me, this is another painful choice. Because China is a country that emphasizes emotions. In the past two years, I have been with them day and night. People have emotions! But this is my profession, and I have to make a choice."

In the end, Milu's voice became lower and lower, almost murmuring to himself: ".I know that for Li Ming and Su Maozhen, this is probably their last chance. They are not young anymore. But I hope they can understand that I made the choice after analyzing various situations. I thought of many possibilities, and the only thing to consider is the team as a whole. Zhang Yuning is also an excellent player. striker"

Subsequently, the Football Association announced the list of players for the World Cup finals.

Goalkeepers: Jiang Jin (Tianjin Teda), An Qi (Dalian Shide), Ou Chuliang (Yunnan Hongta).

Defenders: Xu Yunlong, Yang Pu (Beijing Guoan), Wu Chengying, Dewey (Shanghai Shenhua), Fan Zhiyi (Shanghai COSCO), Gao Yao (Shandong Luneng), Zhang Enhua (Dalian Shide), Li Weifeng (Shenzhen Ping An), Sun Jihai (Manchester City).

Midfielders: Shao Jiayi (Beijing Guoan), Yu Genwei (Tianjin Teda), Li Tie, Zhao Junzhe (Liaoning Bird), Qi Hong (Shanghai COSCO), Li Xiaopeng (Shandong Luneng), Ma Mingyu (captain, Sichuan Dahe).

Forwards: Bai Xiaotian (PSV), *** (Dalian Shide), Qu Bo (Qingdao Yizhong), Yang Chen (Frankfurt).

As soon as the list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.

When Bai Xiaotian returns to the team, he will definitely compete with the striker for a position. Before, many media estimated that Qu Bo, who is also a national youth player, would be eliminated.But as soon as the results came out, no one expected that Su Maozhen, who scored a hat-trick in the warm-up match, would be excluded from the list.

This explosive news spread throughout the country in the shortest possible time.

And when the reporters rushed out from the press conference, they happened to catch up with three national football players who had already packed their bags and planned to leave quietly.

In an instant, these media from all over the country rushed forward and extended their microphones to the former national football players closest to them.

That's right, it's only a few hours, they are no longer national football players.

"Although I performed very well in the league and warm-up matches, I can also understand Coach Milu's approach."

"Looking at what Coach Milu means, it is obvious that he prefers to give young people opportunities."

"I don't hate or complain, it's young people's world now, I just hope he can do better than me!" Shandong Dahan put down his sunglasses after saying this to the camera, and directly boarded the shuttle bus to the airport.

On the other side, Zhang Yuning, who just came out with his luggage, also knew that he couldn't escape the reporter's interview, but he still maintained his own sense of humor and wit. Looking at the reporters chasing after Su Maozhen for interviews, he smiled and said, "Why, is it because I lost the election that I have passed away? Don't like to talk to me?"

When everyone saw that Zhang Yuning had also come out of the hotel, they immediately gave up on Su Maozhen, who was already in a taxi, and surrounded Zhang Yuning.

"No! May I ask how you feel now? Do you feel regretful?" Reporters are always cheeky, exposing scars in front of people.

"What do you think? There are regrets, because the World Cup is the dream of every professional player. But the reality cannot be changed. I decided to accept it calmly." Facing the camera, Zhang Yuning began to calm down.

Reporter: "Did you talk to your parents? What did they say?"

Zhang Yuning: "Not yet. (Usually, this filial son and his parents talk about everything, but this time the answer is a bit surprising.) It was still early when I knew, and they might not have woken up yet. At this time, maybe they already know."

Reporter: "Then at the end, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Yuniang thought for a while, then opened her mouth and said, "I will give my best wishes to the national football team on my birthday in a few days." At the end, two lines of tears flowed down the face of the handsome jade-faced killer on the court.

"12 years! 12 years! I have been fighting for Chinese football for 12 years!" At another corner of the hotel entrance, former national football captain Li Ming hoarsely tried to control his emotions. "In terms of ability, I believe that I can definitely enter the 23-man roster! But why did I fail at the last moment? If the coach doesn't want to use me, it's better to exclude me from the national team early! Just like Shensi!"

"Since I was called into the national team, and I was screened out at the last moment, why did you do this?"

"It's okay if I don't perform well during this time. But everyone has seen that I don't have much playing time!"

"And in the ten minutes I played, my performance should be better, and I also worked very hard to play!"

"In terms of ability, I definitely shouldn't lose the election!"

"I have worked hard for Chinese football for 12 years, but lost at the last minute. God is so unfair!"

The flashlights of the media shone on the frustrated former captain of the national football team, like a monkey watching a zoo, constantly using words to dig out the deepest scars in his heart.

The ruthless camera was aimed at the most affectionate former captain of the national football team. At this moment, the way Li Ming cried bitterly in front of the camera hurt the hearts of every fan.

At this time, Li Ming seemed to be hungover, venting his emotions wantonly, being seduced by these media, and answering what they wanted to hear.It wasn't until the staff around Li Ming couldn't stand it anymore that they waved away the reporters and took Li Ming to the bus home.

At this moment, the tears of the captain of the national football team stayed on the land of Modu forever.

Bai Xiaotian did not attend the Football Association's press conference. Except for Li Ming, Su Maozhen, and Zhang Yuning who were woken up in the early morning, the other national football players were all pretending to be asleep in their rooms.

At this moment, they dare not wake up.

Many things, after escaping, will really pass.

There was no farewell, just like that, the three pillars who shed their blood for the national football team quietly returned to their hometown.Of course, they will also appear in the stands of the national football game as ordinary fans, still cheering and cheering for the national football in their hearts.

After the Football Association announced the list, various domestic departments clearly expressed their support.He also warned the domestic media not to take the opportunity to report on topics that incite the masses, and to pave the way for the World Cup.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

"Bai, to be honest, China is really big and prosperous!" said Ton, who came with the team before the security check.

"Then Mr. Ton must come to China to travel more in the future, you will find that there will be new changes every year!" When parting, Bai Xiaotian did not forget to promote his motherland.

"Okay, of course I will!" The prosperity of the Shanghai city has deeply moved the Eindhoven public relations and operations director, not to mention Bai Xiaotian's friendship is also an inexhaustible resource for him.

Just when the entire Eindhoven team was about to go through the security check and get on the plane, Ton suddenly walked out of the team, put his arms around Bai Xiaotian's neck, and took him aside.

"Bai, as an old friend, can you give your old friend some hints before parting?"

"Hint?" Bai Xiaotian asked in confusion.

"That's right, it's about, about those talented people." Ton lowered his voice.

Others don't know, but Ton does.Whether it's Robben, Cech, Van Persie, De Rossi, or even Huntelaar, these young people were discovered by Bai Xiaotian for PSV, and these young people have already proved themselves with their achievements.

Therefore, the club believes that Bai Xiaotian spent a lot of time studying the rookies of these major clubs in his daily life.

In this transfer window, Bai Xiaotian will leave Eindhoven.So at the last moment, it would be beneficial to Eindhoven to use some of Bai Xiaotian's "labor results".

Of course, Ton never thought that Bai Xiaotian would hand over this information easily, but it doesn't take much effort if he said it casually.

Bai Xiaotian paused, he didn't expect the other party to say this.

Domestic football schools have become bigger and bigger, and many good seedlings born in the 88-90s have also come to Eindhoven to participate in training through this channel.For domestic youth training, this is absolutely beneficial and harmless.

Reminiscent of the fact that the foundation of the football school is still very shallow, even if he leaves now, he cannot lose his connection with Eindhoven.Bai Xiaotian thought about it, and decided to help his old club.As long as Eindhoven has a world-class striker worthy of training, Eindhoven's position in the Eredivisie can be maintained.Correspondingly, the young Chinese players who go to Eindhoven for training will work harder and receive better treatment.

Of course, as to whether Eindhoven will listen to his own suggestions, or fail to train people after they are brought in, this is not his own business.Revealing some "secrets" can be regarded as the utmost benevolence. Presumably Eindhoven will not pick their own faults by then.

But who do you recommend?

Bai Xiaotian immediately thought of the two masters who created an era in the future.

Although Boss Mei has met once, this guy is obviously still in the rising stage of training, and his best choice is to grow up in the La Masia youth training camp for a period of time.And with his current ability, whether Barcelona will let him go or not is still a matter of opinion.

All that's left is the president.

At this time, the president is no longer a member of the youth training team, and has a small reputation.If he can come to the Champions League club to play, he must accept it.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaotian said something meaningful. "Perhaps, perhaps you can go to Portugal."

"Portugal?" Ton frowned, "Can you make it clearer?"

Europeans are like this, and they don't feel that pushing an inch is a kind of impolite behavior.In their view, the most important thing is to get the result they want most with the least cost.As for the face, what is that?
Hearing the other party's questioning, Bai Xiaotian didn't pay too much attention.After all, I have planned to help Eindhoven for the last time, so let's send Buddha to the west.

"I think Sporting Lisbon is pretty good." Bai Xiaotian said softly, spit out a very precise team name.

"Sporting Lisbon?" Ton repeated the name of the club and nodded, remembering it in his heart. "Thank you Bai, Eindhoven will always remember your friendship!"

"Friendship forever?"

"Friendship lasts forever!" Ton reached out and punched Bai Xiaotian.

In the sound of farewell, the Eindhoven team members boarded the flight to Australia.There, there are also friendly matches waiting for them.

After Bai Xiaotian's transfer, only the young Robben and Huntelaar were left in PSV, and the cards were fine.

However, Ajax, which is rising and recovering, still has an unrivaled Swedish tower. If they don’t buy some resistant midfielders and defenders next season, it will be difficult for Eindhoven to win against Ibrahimovic, who has adapted to the Eredivisie for a year.

And in history, after Robben and Huntelaar left the team, Eindhoven never trained a world-class striker, and gradually lost its status as the overlord of the Eredivisie.

"I hope this recommendation can renew Eindhoven's life!" Bai Xiaotian sighed as he watched the plane disappearing in the sky.

Three months later, Eindhoven officially announced that their scouts had brought back a rookie striker from Portugal's Sporting Lisbon, who was no less talented than the goodbye boy. His name was Ricardo Quaresma.
