Chen Long enjoyed this time, but he had to stop because the holiday was coming to an end and he needed to return to Milan to prepare for the games after the winter break, and the next time he came back, maybe after the season was completely over.

When Chen Long officially left City A, from the perspective of Western time, the annual Christmas had passed a few days ago, and the time had come to January 1, 2024. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the time of parting, it is naturally sad, especially for Liu Xin, her eyes are full of tears, as for Chen Tao, although there is a smile on his face, Chen Long can see that it is just a reluctant smile.

…………

Stepping on the plane, Chen Long was a little gloomy, but he was helpless, no way, to a certain extent, this is his job.

The plane flew to Shanghai first, because Chen Long was waiting for Lin Lei there, and because of Mendes, Lin Lei might need to stay in Europe for the next period of time.

When Chen Long arrived in Shanghai, several of his friends, Zheng Shaoqiu, Feng Jun, Wang Kai, Ouyang Zhenhua and Guo Haoran, were also recruited into the National Olympic team and followed the National Olympic team to the finals of the 2024 French Olympic Games.

Of course, this is also something that everyone expects.

Of course, the players recruited by the national Olympic team this time are all players who play in the domestic league, after all, like Chen Long, they still have games in the club now, and they are important games, of course, the main players of the overseas national youth team are Chen Long and Zou Zhaolong were not selected.

In fact, when Zheng Shaoqiu and several of the main players of the national youth team join the national Olympic team, the strength of the national Olympic team will definitely be greatly improved, after all, compared with Chen Long, maybe they are much worse, but in Asia, they are the top, and the Chinese national youth team can win the championship, not only because of Chen Long, their performance is also eye-catching.

Among the players who played overseas, in addition to Zou Zhaolong, the absolute main force of the first team, and Chen Long, who was basically the main force, were not selected, others such as Feng Jun and others were also selected, although they are also the main youth teams of various clubs, but after all, there are no important games during this period of time.

Chen Long wanted to come back, but, on the one hand, maybe Mourinho would "scold his mother", on the other hand, just the day before he left home, he received a strange phone call, after the phone was connected, Chen Long understood that the call was not someone else, but the current national team coach Cannavaro, Chen Long was a little excited, the call of the national team finally came.

On the phone, Cannavaro told Chen Long that he had a place for Chen Long in his national team plan, and the reason why he was making this call now was to tell Chen Long to stay in shape, be ready, and maybe soon, he would need to play for the national team.

As for the present, although there is the Asian Cup going on, it is obvious that with the main team that shines in the World Cup in Russia, the national football team still has great hope of returning to the top in Asia.

Chen Long understands that what Cannavaro said is the truth, in half a month, the 25th Asian Cup will be held in South Korea, and the Chinese team is training during this time, and according to the predictions given by the outside world, the Chinese team is the biggest favorite to win the Asian Cup.

At the end of the call with Cannavaro, Chen Long understood that from this moment on, he was also a member of the national team, and he was one step closer to his dream, or one step closer to the World Cup.

For Chen Long, this can be regarded as a spur and encouragement, and he will work harder!

While Chen Long was waiting for Lin Lei in Shanghai, he chatted with Guo Haoran and them in the QQ group. Of course, the topic they talked about was naturally the matter of being selected for the national Olympic team, and when everyone heard that Chen Long had indirectly received the signs of the national team, they couldn't help but be envious.

"Hey, it's our world!" As soon as he said this, Guo Haoran was excited. Of course, he had to be excited, because as soon as he went to the team, he snatched the position of the main goalkeeper from the hands of the previous main goalkeeper, which was a crushing advantage.

"Everyone is doing well, and there should be no problem playing the main team." Feng Jun said so, so it was obvious that the main force was indeed not a problem for them.

"Alas, I really want to play in the Olympic Games......" Chen Long said.

"Don't pretend to be here for the national team!" After Zheng Shaoqiu finished speaking, he posted an emoji of "If you don't pretend to force us, we will still be friends".

"Really, I just want to go to the Olympics."

"It's like we wouldn't be able to make it to the Olympics without you." Wang Kaidao.

"Wang Kai is right, Long Chen. Don't underestimate us, although we are not in the national team yet, we will also lead the national Olympic team out of Asia. Du Yi said.

"Hey, I figured it out. Or else? Come on and get your ticket to the Olympic finals, and I'll go to France with you then. As for me, I will try to get a ticket to Canada, and in two years, we will go to Canada together! "Long Chen came up with a great idea.

"It's a sound idea." Zheng Shaoqiu was the first to agree.

"Yes, so we have participated in both the Olympics and the World Cup!" Guo Haoran was also very happy.

"Okay, then let's work hard!" Wang Kai also felt that his fighting spirit was high.

For a while, everyone fell into an infinite vision for the future.

What does the Olympics look like, and what does the World Cup look like? What will we do and what will we achieve? What kind of opponents will you meet?

Everyone started talking.

And at the same time that Chen Long stepped on the plane and left, in the land of China, no, in world football, a strong news spread completely.

"FIFA announces that the People's Republic of China has won the right to host the 2030 Men's Football World Cup"

Undoubtedly, whether it is for international football or Chinese football, this news is strong enough.

Although when China decided to bid for the 2030 World Cup, both internationally and domestic, many people were optimistic that China would be able to win the right to host, and even, at that time, in China, many people had already begun to celebrate, but when the real news and facts were in front of them, people were still very surprised, among them, for Chinese fans, the surprise was immediately followed by ecstasy.

"Successful bid for the World Cup" is undoubtedly a huge spur for Chinese football, and it is conceivable that the popularity of Chinese football will increase day by day.

Chen Long also got the news, and he was also very excited, after all, playing the World Cup at his own doorstep, he was happy to think about it.

By the time Lin Lei arrived, it was already a day later.

Subsequently, Chen Long flew back to Milan from Shanghai.

Although there were still four or five days before the team's training camp was reported, Chen Long came back early. Because he still has his own training plan, he wants to continue to improve his fitness. Although his fitness has improved greatly in the past half season, Chen still feels that it is not enough.

Physical fitness is like money, the more the merrier, only when it is not enough, there is absolutely no time when it is useless.

After the Champions League and league games and the third-tier battle of the national youth team in the season before the winter break, Chen Long is now envious of the legendary South Korean star Park Ji-sung, and he hopes that he can also become a person like "Park Sanlung" who can't run on the field. Because he is also Asian, Chen Long is very eager to have the physical fitness of the former, and only in this way can he go where he wants to go in the competition.

In modern football, fitness is the foundation of everything. Without this foundation, no matter how good technology and consciousness are, they can only be empty buildings, and talking about those unrealistic things.

Chen Long hopes to be able to reserve more physical energy than others before the start of the new season.

As soon as he returned to AC Milan, he threw himself into his training. This short vacation, counting, he still went to many places, which is a bad toss for his body, and his physical fitness will definitely not be as good as before the winter break. He now has to make up for it to make sure he doesn't suffer from a lack of fitness during the season, where he has to be substituted midway through the season due to his fitness and possibly injured.

When Chen Long was training hard in Milan, Zheng Shaoqiu, Fang Xu, Wang Kai, Guo Haoran and other main players of the National Olympic team also participated in their first Olympic qualifying group stage.

Of course, this is the first Olympic qualifying group stage for Wang Kai and the others. Prior to this, the group stage had already been played more than halfway, and because of its strength, the Chinese team ranked third in the group, and if they wanted to qualify, they had to score another six points.

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

In fact, before Zheng Shaoqiu and them joined the team, this national Olympic team was not optimistic. Because this national Olympic team is actually a transition period between the "old era" and the "new era" of Chinese football to a certain extent, lacking talents and real star-level players. If you really want to be a star, there is only Zhang Peng alone.

And look at the previous National Olympic teams, although they did not appear, there was no shortage of star players.

In the 1992 National Olympic Team, there were players such as Fan Zhiyi, Hao Dong, Peng Weiguo, and Li Bin. In the 1996 National Olympic Team, Yu Genwei, Xie Hui and Zhang Enhua, as well as Yang Chen. In 2000, there were Zheng Zhi, Sun Hai, Zhao Junzhe, Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu. The 2004 National Olympic Games include Qu Bo, Du Wei, Zhao Xuri, Xu Liang, and Sun Xiang. In 2008, the National Olympic team had Zhou Haibing, Gao Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Hao Junmin and Chen Tao, and in 2016, Zhang Yuning.

But this year's National Olympic team, let alone the core of the National Olympic Team, who can be the core of the club?

The predecessor of this year's National Olympic Team was the 04 age group national youth team, which was formed in 2020.

When Li Ning, the former head coach of the National Olympic team, began to form this national Olympic team, he actually lost at the starting line.

In this context, 23 people were selected to compete in the competition, and the quality can be imagined. Compared with traditional powerhouses such as Japan and South Korea, China has already lost from the beginning. This National Olympics is not a cup and tableware problem, it is simply a dining table full of all kinds of cups and cutlery...... As for wanting to break through in the group, that's a bit unrealistic.

Although the Football Association later hired the world-famous coach Gonzalez to coach the national Olympic team, Gonzalez has only led the team to play a warm-up game so far when he took office, and he can't fully understand the team, and he is about to usher in the second leg of the group stage with Oman.

In such a situation, it has become a necessary option to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern.

Since the strength of the players in the 04 age group is not enough, can you explore it a little further?

As a result, Zheng Shaoqiu, Guo Haoran and other main players of the national youth team were selected into the national Olympic team before the game against Oman and trained with the team.

These people did live up to people's expectations.

When they joined the team, they showed a level of quality that was completely different from that of their teammates.

Playing in the national youth team and the advanced training they received from a young age made them completely higher than their teammates.

This was followed by two warm-up matches for the team. In these two games, because of the tacit understanding during the run-in period, the performance of the Chinese Olympic team was actually not very good. They lost 1:2 to the North Korean Olympic Games and drew 0:0 with the Saudi Olympic Games.

Now it seems that the only problem is time.

There is too little time left for Gonzalez's team, the main team of the national youth team has just joined the team, and the training camp will challenge the Oman national Olympic team in half a month.

Will they be able to get past Oman's Olympic team and get one step closer to the Paris Olympics?

At eight o'clock on the evening of January 5, the national Olympic team gave an answer to all those who follow the national Olympic team.

They beat Oman 3-0 in 90 minutes!

The Chinese Olympic team defeated Oman at home.

Let the Chinese fans who are following this match hope a lot.

Four days later, the Olympic team played away to Japan to challenge the Japanese Olympic team.

As a result, the Chinese Olympic team won 2:0!

In the third game, the Chinese Olympic team challenged the UAE Olympic team away, and in the first leg of the group stage between the two teams, the Chinese Olympic team won 2:1 at home.

So this time, it was all West Asian referees who enforced the game.

Generally speaking, the referee of the match between East Asian teams and West Asian teams should use Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, and after Australia joined the AFC, an Australian referee option was added.

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

This is obviously biased.

The West Asians like to play this set.

Of course, with the growing influence of Chinese football in Asia, coupled with China's strong national strength, it is believed that these situations will change in the near future.

With the psychological support of winning the first game, the Chinese Olympic team has nothing to fear.

Although in the game, the Iranian referee blew out a good ball from Zheng Shaoqiu for offside, but it failed to save the fate of the UAE Olympic team.

In the end, the UAE Olympic team and the Chinese Olympic team played to a 0:0 draw.

In the end, the Chinese Olympic Games won the first place in the group and advanced to the finals of the Paris Olympic Games in France.
