Chapter 216 Separate Futures

"The National Olympics makes a strong attack and completely defeats the obstacles!" 》

"The national youth genius' hat trick shines in the audience!" 》

"He Ying's Olympic qualifying debut was perfect! 》

Sun Pan slapped the newspaper on the table and complained to He Ying opposite: "Why are you the only one in the limelight?!"

He Ying spread his hands: "Do you blame me?"

"Damn it!" Sun Pan was very unhappy. "Obviously I made four wonderful saves in the game and ensured that I didn't concede a goal, but those media reporters only wanted to praise you!"

"Forwards always have to get something cheap." Yang Muge comforted him. "At least you were mentioned. Look at Lao Guo, his name was not mentioned at all."

Sun Pan felt much better after hearing what Yang Muge said, but Guo Nu next to him was crying...

This was the morning after the competition. Four friends were eating breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel where the Olympic team stayed and reading the newspaper provided in the hotel.

In last night's game, the performance of the Olympic team surprised many people.

Unexpectedly, the four-man group studying abroad, who had performed only averagely in the warm-up match, suddenly broke out.

Especially He Ying, who scored three goals in a row, allowing the Olympic team to win easily.

And it's not just He Ying, everyone actually performed very well.

Just as he said, Sun Pan made four key saves to keep the goal.

Yang Muge was originally an engineer, but in the Olympic team he can also play a role as an offensive and defensive hub, retreating, defending, and attacking. Judging from the actual results of the game, his cameo performance was quite good. He assisted one of He Ying's three goals.

Guo Nu's performance was a little dull, but still pretty good.

What led to such a change in the Olympic team?

In fact, it's very simple. After the two warm-up games in early June, Blazevic found that it was difficult to force the entire team to match up with four people in a short period of time, so he simply gave up on making the team a team. A holistic idea, but entirely dependent on the personal abilities of the four people and the tacit understanding between them.

It turns out that he did this to great effect.

The Chinese Olympic team defeated the Oman Olympic team at home.

It paves the way for the next round of away games.

It can even be said that they have reached the group stage of the London Olympics Asian Qualifiers.

※※※

Four days later, the Olympic team traveled to the Middle East to challenge the Oman Olympic team.

Because of the failure in the first round, the Oman Olympic team will definitely struggle at their home court and will not be willing to be eliminated just like this.

So this time the referees in this game were all West Asian referees.

Generally speaking, in games between East Asian teams and West Asian teams, the referees should be from Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. After Australia joined the AFC, an Australian referee option was added.

However, in the match between the East Asian team China Olympic Team and the West Asian team Oman Olympic Team, the AFC actually asked a West Asian referee from Iran to officiate the game.

This is obviously biased.

West Asians like to play this trick.

However, with a three-goal lead, the Chinese Olympic team has nothing to fear.

Although during the game, the Iranian referee disallowed one of He Ying's good goals for offside, but it could not save the Oman Olympic team from defeat.

In the end, the Oman Olympic team and the Chinese Olympic team tied 0:0.

The Chinese Olympic team eliminated the Oman Olympic team with a total score of 3:0 and advanced to the group stage of the Asian Olympic Qualifiers. They are one step closer to the London Olympics.

The group stage of the qualifiers will not start until September this year, which basically coincides with the national team's schedule for the World Cup.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yi is actually considered an Olympic-age player, but cannot represent the Olympic team. Because he is also a player of the national team, and the national team's pursuit of the World Cup is obviously more important than the Olympic team's entry into the Olympics, so it is impossible for the national team to release him. He himself doesn't have the energy to participate in two important competitions at the same time.

The first match of the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers will be held on July 23. It is actually a qualifying match. The Chinese team must first defeat its opponent Laos before it can qualify for the top 20 matches. After the top 20 matches, the Chinese team will Once you are qualified to participate in the top ten tournaments and finish first in the group stage in the top ten tournaments, you can directly participate in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The two games on July 23rd and 28th happened to be in the middle of Dortmund's pre-season training. In order to allow Zhou Yi to have a continuous and complete pre-season training, Gao Hongbo and Zhou Yi have already discussed it. He was not allowed to participate in the two games against Laos because the opponents were too weak and there was no need to rush back to participate. The current domestic player base of the national team is enough to deal with Laos.

Zhou Yi doesn't need to worry about the national team's games, he can just run into the new season with his team in Dortmund.

Wait until the top 20 games on September 2nd and come back.

※※※

When July comes, the new season is actually getting closer.

The 2011-2012 season has a very special meaning for the friends of Zhouyi. After this season ends, the Olympic Games will start in London, and in two years, the World Cup will kick off in distant Brazil.

If they want to have a chance at the World Cup, they have to play for their respective clubs, no matter what.

There is actually not much time left for them.

Yang Muge, who returned to Germany from the Olympic team, learned that his senior Hao Junmin, whom he met at Schalke 04, would end his contract with Schalke 04 and return to China because he could not get a chance to play at Schalke 04.

After Hao Junmin packed everything and sent it back to China, he specially treated Yang Muge to a meal.

This meal tasted a little sad, just like a break-up meal.

"Sometimes, I envy you and Zhou Yi." Hao Junmin said at the dinner table. "You have caught up with a good time..."

Then he shook his head and denied his statement: "No, actually now is not a good time, right? What I envy is your and Zhou Yi's abilities and opportunities. If I could be like you, when I was eighteen or nineteen years old, Just go abroad to play football, what would it be like..."

When Hao Junmin said this, there was infinite longing and a little loss in his tone.

He really imagined in his mind what he would have achieved if he had played abroad when he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Actually, the domestic media said why I couldn't play at Schalke 04. There were many reasons, such as not being in my best position, language barrier, and being thin... This I We all know that. I think the most important thing is that when the opportunity really came to me, I failed to seize it."

Hao Junmin continued.

"For example, in the game against Wolfsburg, if I didn't give the opponent the free kick that equalized the score, would it have helped my situation in the team? For example, in the game against Hertha Berlin, if If I score both of those solo goals, will it boost my confidence? There are many more opportunities like this... If I seize them all, what will it look like now?"

Hao Junmin was asking. Yang Muge knew that he was actually not asking himself, but talking to himself.

Sure enough, Hao Junmin soon looked at Yang Muge and said: "Look, Muge. I know there are many reasons why I can't play in Schalke 04, but football is a sport full of accidents and miracles. If those By chance I can catch one or two, and maybe I will have a completely different present and future. So don’t worry about those people who say you are not strong enough, you don’t have much experience, you are still young...those are all. That’s bullshit. If an opportunity presents itself to you, don’t think about anything, just grab it!”

These were the last words and final advice Hao Junmin said to Yang Muge before leaving.

Not long after sending Hao Junmin away, Yang Muge received a notice that he was transferred to the first team to train with the team for the new season's pre-season training.

When Yang Muge received the notice, he couldn't help but think of what Hao Junmin said to him before leaving.

If an opportunity presents itself to you, don't think about anything, just grab it!

Maybe this is your first opportunity?

When Sun Pan ended his loan contract at Offenbach Kickers and returned to Chelsea Club, he was no longer just greeted by his youth team coach Adrian Viviers, but also the club's youth training director. Nell Bass and academy technical director Michael Emenalo.

Sun Pan had only seen such a battle when he signed for the Chelsea Youth Academy.

"We have followed and observed your entire season at Offenbach Kickers. The youth academy is very happy and satisfied with your performance in Germany." Technical Director Emenalo said to Sun Pan with a smile. "Even the first-team coach Mr. Villas-Boas has expressed interest in you."

"But it's a pity that because of the reasons we all know, you can't play for the first team for the time being - I must say it's not because you are not strong enough, but because we all know the reasons." Director Nell Bass interjected.

Sun Pan nodded.

But he didn't know if it was really because of his labor certificate that he couldn't register with the first team, or if it was just an excuse. He actually doesn't care about Chelsea's first-team affairs right now, he only cares about where he will go next season. Let him stay in the youth team? Of course he didn't do it.

After seeing the scenery outside, how could I be willing to continue living in this small house doing nothing?

"So after discussions with the club, the club decided to loan you to Atletico Madrid."

Sun Pan was stunned for a moment: "Where?"

He wasn't sure.

"Atlético Madrid, another team in Madrid. They also saw your performance at Offenbach Kickers and were very impressed, especially your performance in the DFB-Pokal against Borussia Dortmund. ” laughed Nell Bass. "We would like to ask your opinion, would you like to go to Atletico Madrid?"

"Of course, why not?" Sun Pan did not pretend to think or hesitate, but gave his answer straightforwardly.

As long as you can play for the first team, you can go anywhere!

La Masia's youth training director Alvite Capellas looked up at the young man in front of him.

"You want to go out on loan?" he asked.

The young man nodded.

Capellas knows that this young man is from China and is the only Chinese player in La Masia's youth training camp. His name is He Ying, who serves as a forward.

It was technical director Garcia who brought him here, but now Garcia has left La Masia.

He is one of countless foreign children in La Masia's youth training camp, and there is nothing too outstanding about him.

There are young talents from South Korea and Japan in the La Masia youth training camp. They are known as "Korean Messi" or "Japanese Messi", but this young Chinese man did not get a similar nickname. He is not "Chinese Messi", he is who he is.

Do you want to find a better path because you can’t see a way up, or the competition is too fierce?

Capelias has seen many young people like this. Because this is the tradition of La Masia. Not everyone can go all the way to the first team from here and become the second Xavi, the second Iniesta, and the second Messi.

Many of them ended up on the road to becoming the second Xavi, Iniesta and Messi.

It’s normal to want to find another way out if you can’t hold on any longer.

Capellas will not stand in the way unless the head coach of Barcelona B team comes to tell him that team B wants this young man. But obviously, the head coach of Team B did not mention He Ying's name.

So he nodded: "Where do you want to go?"

"Whatever, as long as I can play the game."

"Is it possible to play in lower-level leagues?" Kapelleas asked.

"Okay." He Ying nodded and said calmly. (To be continued.)
