On the eighth day of the first lunar month, February 21 of the Gregorian calendar, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China began to work, and all branches under its jurisdiction also began to work.

The headquarters of the mixed fighting national team has also begun to usher in the arrival of leaders.

At half past nine in the morning, a group of people wearing almost the same clothes appeared in the largest conference room of the headquarters of the mixed fighting national team.

There are coaches, there are team leaders, nominally, the coach is to manage the athletes' training, and the team leader is to have the work of a secretary and manage life, but what the specific situation is, it is impossible to say, basically more than 95% of the national team, the team leader is better than the coach, this is the real leader.

Although in this world, mixed martial arts is the number one sport, but it is also the same in the national team.

Head coach Yang Hongchang is not as useful as team leader Tian Wenkang.

Generally speaking, anyone who has stayed in a state-owned enterprise knows that the first thing to do in a meeting is to give a lecture to the big leader, and in the national team, the person who lectured was Tian Wenkang.

But if you say that, it's pretty much the same, almost every year is the same, and we have to look back and reflect on what we did in the last year that was not good, but what was worth affirming.

And then look to the future, set our goals, what we will achieve this year, what we will achieve in the next few years, and so on.

Basically, this is the way, the people who are holding the meeting here are all old fritters, so they are quite proficient in the skill of pretending to listen very seriously, after Tian Wenkang finished speaking, Yang Hongchang also began to talk about this year's goals.

That is, the goal of the Asian Cup, which is the only major tournament this year, must be won, because only by winning the Asian Cup will they qualify for the next World Cup.

And to play the Asian Cup, the first thing to do is to choose the player this time.

Starting from the lightest flyweight, the coaches over there reported to the personnel, and Yang Hongchang and Tian Wenkang approved, basically there will be no discrepancies, and slowly from the flyweight to bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight, heavyweight, heavyweight, and finally there is no limit to the candidates.

"Last year, we had a total of 17 people in the unrestricted class who came to train and 10 of them were selected for the final runoff, and this is my list. At this point, Wei O took a form out of his folder and handed it over.

In this world, there is only one way to play in the Fighting World Cup, heads-up, one-on-one, a total of five games, five games and three wins, the winning country advances, and the losing loser goes home, the Asian Cup has a total of 48 countries and regions, and there are some places that do not participate in the Asian Cup, there are 36 countries and regions that participate, and the eight countries at the bottom of the comprehensive ranking will conduct the first knockout round, and after eliminating four, make up 32 to play the real Asian Cup.

After one round, thirty-two into sixteen, then sixteen into eight, eight into four, semi-finals, finals, the first place directly obtains the right to qualify, can participate in the World Cup, and enter the top 16 countries, eligible to participate in the playoffs, and other competitions to participate in the playoffs, together with the competition for tickets to the World Cup, the world is currently divided into four major regions.

The 14 regions that have qualified for the European Division, the African Division, the American Division, the Asian Division, and Oceania have no access rights, but they can decide eight countries to participate in the semi-play-off competition.

In other words, if you don't win in the Asian Cup, there will be 72 countries just to participate in the double playoffs, and these 72 countries will compete for the 28 seats in the World Cup, which can be described as extremely competitive.

The matches of different weights are also separated, that is, even if all the divisions win the championship and the first round of the unrestricted division is not passed, then they will not be able to go to the World Cup.

At present, the No. 1 seed in Asia is the island country, the second is Huaxia, the third is Thailand, and the fourth is Goryeo, but the strength of other countries such as the Philippines and Yilang should not be underestimated, and as the face of the fighting world, unrestricted candidates, it is naturally the top priority.

"This list, there are some problems!" But after taking over Wei Ao's list, before Yang Hongchang could speak, Tian Wenkang spoke first, and then put the paper on the table.

"Team leader, is there any problem?" Looking at Tian Wenkang's movements, Wei Ao asked calmly on his face, obviously he knew that there was something wrong with this form, and he was ready to deal with it.

"Let me read it to you, the starters Dong Jian, Le Jianming, Chen Ruipeng, Zhou Lihui, Zheng Wenzhe, substitutes Zhang Changhua, Lu Haoxuan, Zong Ming, haven't you felt anything wrong?" Looking at the list in his hand, Tian Wenkang also said slowly.

"This from the form, we identified it for a long time, so it didn't feel like there was anything wrong. Laughing lightly, Wei Ao leaned back in his chair and looked at Tian Wenkang very seriously, he really didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this list.

"I won't say anything else, this Zheng Wenzhe, that's the problem, if I'm not mistaken, this guy should be the fifty-fifth person in the CFC, what qualifications does he have, enter the national team, and he is still a starter, this is to tell other countries that there is no one in our country anymore? Or are the other top 30 people resisting the call of the country?" Gently tapping the paper in front of him, Tian Wenkang said indifferently.

"I don't have any selfish intentions, I just count it according to my strength, his strength is enough to enter the national team, and even start. Looking at Tian Wenkang, Wei Ao smiled and said to Tian Wenkang in a very firm voice.

"Is the strength enough? Why don't I believe it, if his strength is really strong, why is he still ranked so low?" Ignoring Wei Ao's words, Tian Wenkang continued, anyway, the meaning of his words was that he couldn't look down on it, that's all.

"He's ranked low because he's young, he's only 20 years old now, he's been playing for less than two years, so it's good to get to this level. Hearing Tian Wenkang say this, Wei Ao was also speaking for Zheng Wenzhe.

"That's young, if you're young, you don't have enough experience in the competition, we don't go to training, we don't need such newcomers. Looking at Wei Ao, Tian Wenkang continued, and hearing his words, some coaches next to him couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Although he is young, there is no problem with his experience, I once organized an actual combat exercise, he faced 16 people from our national team for a wheel battle, and won all 16 games, I still have a video here, his strength does not need to be questioned, I think he is qualified to be selected for the national team......" Hearing Tian Wenkang say this, Wei Ao also said immediately.

"Stop, one against sixteen, that's individual heroism, we are a whole, we want to represent the country, we don't need heroes, we need athletes. But before Wei Ao finished speaking, Tian Wenkang interrupted him and said to him very clearly, hearing Tian Wenkang say this, Wei Ao couldn't help but froze, he didn't know what to say.

The reason why he couldn't be selected was because of the ranking, and the ranking couldn't really reflect his strength because he was young, so he was ranked low, that is, the problem of young inexperience, experience and strength have been proven, and there is also the problem of personal heroism......

The Chinese language is really broad and profound, when a person goes to deliberately find a fault, he can always find a point from this person to veto him, this is the case with this Tian Wenkang now, no matter what Wei Ao says, he naturally has the words to deal with.

If you ask him to train people, he may not be able to, but if he plays this kind of language game, a hundred Wayo is no match for him, after all, he is based on playing this thing, this is the root problem.

"I know this Zheng Wenzhe, Wei Ao, you can't sway your own original judgment because of his fame, we are the national team, not a platform for him to show himself, I remember when he was running, this guy was unorganized and undisciplined, disrupting the rhythm of our other athletes, and he didn't do his job to make movies or something, is that what he should do as an athlete who is just twenty years old? Not to mention, I thought that people were about to retire, and such black sheep could not stay in our national team. Looking at Wei Ao, Tian Wenkang said generously, for a team leader like him, it is useless to seek merit, and it is useless to have merit, it is not his Tian Wenkang's, it is an athlete's, just ask for no fault, it's as simple as that.

"Head coach. Seeing that Tian Wenkang was not moved at all, Wei Ao was out of action and looked at the head coach.

After all, although Tian Wenkang is the number one here, Yang Hongchang still has to shoot the clapper, and Wei Ao can only look at him.

"Do you have a video of him there?" Hearing Wei Ao's words, Yang Hongchang squinted his eyes and asked.

"Yes, there is actual combat training, which is the one I just said, the one he fought sixteen people in a row. Hearing Yang Hongchang's words, Wei Ao also said solemnly, he is really optimistic about Zheng Wenzhe, this time the strength of the Asian Cup national team is actually not too strong.

Qi Guangan, who is ranked first in the CFC, is not here this year, he has to prepare for the GF game, and after the second Feng Yue finished playing Li Xianghong last year, he was preparing to fight against Kento Morikawa, and there was no time, and Jia Tao, who was ranked fourth in the fourth place, had already determined that he was going to fight with the AGF fourteenth Takashima Shuang, and there was no way to come, only Dong Jian, Le Jianming and Chen Ruipeng could come in the top ten.

To be honest, with such a lineup, Wei Ao is very empty, if one of them is not careful, if one of the three of them loses, it will be over.
