Small goals, first to be the world's first [Competition]

After more than ten years, ah no, more than ten days, the World Cup that Su Yuan has been thinking about is finally about to start.

男子世界杯的比赛时间是10月28日-10月30日,分为28号的小组赛和和29、30两天的淘汰赛两个阶段。

排名1-8位的8名种子选手不参加小组赛，排名9-20位的12名运动员三人一组分成四个组进行循环赛，每个小组前二名共八名运动员与八位种子选手一共十六名选手进行后两天的淘汰赛。*

The ranking is based on the world points of the 15 contestants. Therefore, although Su Yuan is strong enough to be in the forefront, his points cannot surpass others in just two months. Got No.[-].

The reason why they didn't fall at the end was because some associations had a rule that there were no more than two people in the competition, and the third player in the country was not able to participate in the competition.

So Su Yuan still wants to participate in this group match, but it's just what he wants. It's good to play one more game!

More is better!

Because this time the World Cup was held in front of their own house, it hadn't happened in a long time for Huaguo, and the Sports Bureau attached great importance to this World Cup from top to bottom.

The location of the World Cup, that is, the venue of the competition, is in a large newly built stadium in City B, about an hour's drive from the base of the national team.

At six o'clock in the morning on the 28th, a bus stopped in front of the national team's base and carried the game-related personnel to the new stadium... to the hotel next to it.

The new large-scale gymnasium has been vigorously promoted by the state in the past few years. This project has been promoted in several major provinces across the country. The S-province gymnasium where the sports variety show that Su Yuan participated in before is one of them. City B Stadium is also one of them.

In order to build a brand-new, modern and advanced sports ecosystem, just like building a village around a mountain, around the largest new gymnasium in the center, a circle of supporting facilities and buildings, hotels, restaurants, memorial halls, etc., and even snack block.

When there is no competition, we can also develop the tourism industry, which can be said to make the best use of everything.

Although both the base and the new gymnasium are in City B, if the participating athletes still live in the dormitories of the national team, it will be time-consuming and laborious to go back and forth, so they also collectively live in a hotel specially prepared for athletes next to the stadium.

Su Yuan jumped out of the car with his small suitcase, took a breath of fresh air outside the car, and exhaled freely.

World Cup, here I come!

"Everyone go in and clean up, and gather in the hall on time at nine o'clock, do you hear me?"

Everyone got out of the car, and Wu Qingbai, who was walking at the end, coughed and instructed everyone in a dignified manner.

"Understood, head coach." Everyone agreed.

Su Yuan stood at the front, didn't look back, didn't answer, made a sneaky face, didn't wait for the people behind, pulled Zhong Yu who was next to him, pushed open the door of the hotel and walked in first.

This time, there are quite a few Huaguo teams coming to the hotel. First of all, there must be at least a platoon in the local battle. Secondly, there is only about a week between the individual competition and the team competition. They plan to stay here for training without returning to the national team. Therefore, all the athletes participating in the individual and team competitions came, including substitutes. This is why Zhong Yu was there. With the addition of team leaders, assistants and medical staff, the number increased.

Although Su Yuan didn't understand that the opening ceremony would start at 09:30, he could have come a day earlier, but he had to schedule a show at the departure point in the early morning, but it was almost eight o'clock now, and time was urgent, so he didn't want to come again Let someone waste his time.

He hasn't had breakfast yet.

"Shanyu, let's go, put the suitcase down and we'll have breakfast."

"Ah."

"Do you think we will meet someone we know?" Su Yuan asked with some interest.

Zhong Yu rolled his eyes, "Maybe."

For the sake of auspiciousness, the officials arranged Huaguo's room on the eighth floor. Naturally, the two of them would not take the stairs if they had nothing to do. The elevator was not an ornament.

Just before the elevator, Su Yuan was about to raise his hand to press the down button of the elevator door, but he watched the floor display above the elevator door continuously decrease, finally became 1, and slowly opened in front of their eyes.

"Huh?" Su Yuan blinked, and let out a little Huh.

"Hey, Yu, and the more beautiful little beauty, good morning." The elegant and deep Italian floated into Su Yuan's ears.

At the same time, there was also a pleasant German sounded at the same time: "Little cutie, we meet again."

Immediately afterwards, the owners of the two voices looked at each other unkindly, one turned his head in displeasure, the other chuckled, turned back indifferently, and continued to look at Su Yuan affectionately.

"Samuel Mancini, do you want to be beaten again?" Zhong Yu walked up to Su Yuan with unkind eyes, blocking the sight of a peacock, and warned.

"Ha." Seeing this scene, Enoch Rob mercilessly laughed.

He didn't play well with Samuel Mancini, really badly, you goddamn No. [-] chipper in the world, and he hated his tricky chopping style the most.

At this time, seeing the opponent he believed to be destined, and seeing his deadly enemy deflated, it couldn't be more enjoyable.

It's just that before the joyful and mocking smile on his face could fully bloom, someone grabbed the back of fate's neck.

"Enoch, restrain yourself, this is not in our territory." The man put his hand on the back of Enoch Rob's neck lightly, and said softly.

Hearing the threatening meaning contained in it and the hand pinching his neck like a cat, Enoch Robb's expression froze, and he drooped his head a little cowardly.

Su Yuan's expression was a little surprised, this arrogant world number one actually has someone who can cure him?

But this person seems to be... a bit face blind, and Su Yuan, who is even more blind to Europeans, still recognized the identity of the person in front of him.

The identity of this person was confirmed by Enoch Rob in the next second.

"Eli, there are so many people." Enoch Rob struggled.

Eli?Is this the world number three Eli Bolton?Su Yuan cast his curious eyes over it.

The person in front of him seems to be different from the other people standing here, and his age does not seem to be young, but Su Yuan can't accurately judge the age of Europeans, just from his eyes. Not some impulsive young man.

Eli Bolton let go of Enoch Rob, and looked at Su Yuan kindly with a pair of gentle lake blue eyes. He stepped forward and stretched out his left hand to Su Yuan: "Hello, Su Yuan, long-awaited My name, I'm Eli Bolton."

Su Yuan's eyes suddenly became very surprised, not for anything else, every word of Eli Bolton's words just now is in Chinese with a perfect accent, and there is not even much accent, which is very standard.

But, have you heard of your name for a long time?No way, no way, this is a veritable senior, an evergreen tree in the table tennis world.

Eli Bolton, now the second in command of the German team, is 36 years old this year, an evergreen legend with a long standby time in the table tennis world.

But what if someone underestimated him because of his age?That could be very wrong.

Someone else should have retired at this age, but Eli Bolton relied on his own strength and has always occupied a place in the German team, which is currently the strongest in table tennis, ranking third in the world. This is not a joke. .

Su Yuan waved his hand in flattery, because what he heard was in Chinese, so he unconsciously blurted out his mother tongue: "Hello, I am the one who has known you for a long time, Eli Bolton."

Then he grasped Eli Burton's outstretched left hand as if reacting.

Ah, by the way, there is one thing I forgot to mention, the third man in the world is also his left-handed hand.

But fortunately, Su Yuan didn't know why Eli Bolton's Chinese was so good. He understood Su Yuan's words, looked around at the people still blocking the elevator door, smiled and said softly: "Here It seems to be affecting the passage of others, can I have the honor to invite you to have a breakfast together?"

"Of course!" Su Yuan replied excitedly.

He glanced at the small suitcase in his hand, and decisively and happily changed his previous idea of ​​putting the suitcase before eating.

This is an invitation from a senior, how can I refuse, it's just a suitcase that is not heavy at all, it doesn't hinder at all, the same goes for putting it away after eating.

Su Yuan has a natural high degree of affection for Eli Bolton, a senior who has persisted in the table tennis world for more than ten years.

"Eli, I'm a little scared to be honest when you talk like that." Enoch Rob came up again and said unwillingly.

"Huh?" Eli Bolton looked at Enoch Robb with a slightly raised tone.

Enoch Rob shut up.

Samuel Mancini fell at the end of the line. When he heard the conversation between Eli Bolton and Enoch Robb, he gave a soft "tsk", and unconsciously touched his arm with his hands to smooth it. Almost got goosebumps.

"What's the matter, Samuel?" Zhong Yu also followed loosely, looking at Samuel with some doubts.

Samuel smiled lightly, and said like a magic stick: "No, it's nothing, I just feel emotional, the senior who can cure Enoch Robb seems to have become more and more "gentle" in recent years."

"Oh?" Zhong Yu heard what he said, looking ahead at Eli Bolton, who had a pleasant conversation with Su Yuan, and seemed to understand something.

Can Enoch Robinson be treated like a quail, can he be so gentle on the surface?Obviously impossible.

Perhaps the younger generation like Su Yuanzhongyu may not know much about Eli Bolton, but he was a nightmare for many people.

For example, Wu Qingbai and Lu Liangji, who had just entered the hotel, passed by Su Yuan and his group.

The restaurant of the hotel is on the other side of the lobby on the first floor. If Su Yuan and the others want to go there, they will inevitably pass through the door. Su Yuan is busy chatting with the senior, and did not see Wu Qingbai and his party who just came in, but Yi Relying on his height advantage, Lebron caught a glimpse of this group of people from the corner of his eye.

He didn't care, but Ai Wu and Wu Di raised their heads and smiled gently at the group of people, then lowered their heads and continued chatting with Su Yuan.

Su Haizhong's son, he is too rare for this child.

But some people who were greeted by him just now didn't think so.

"Coach, do you want to..." Lu Liangji lowered his voice and whispered in Wu Qingbai's ear with undisguised malice.

Wu Qingbai frowned when he saw Su Yuan, who had a happy conversation with a group of foreign players, and then nodded slightly to Lu Liangji.

The author has something to say:

I finally grew to [-] words again! !congratulations! ! (Damn! You are so short!

So how can the third man in the world who can cure Enoch Robb be so gentle on the surface? Hehehe, the young third man in the world is also a headache for the head coach of the German team

The head coach of a certain German team in the Mediterranean: Thank you, when will I have a good boy in my team!

Ah ah ah I am flattered by everyone's nutrient solution, I am so touched, woo woo woo, give the little angels a big head
