In the Asian play-off match between the Chinese team and the Uzbekistan team, the Chinese team lost 1:3 to the opponent in the first round. This means that if the Chinese team wants to qualify this time, they must not only win the second leg at home, but also have to get at least two goal difference to get the chance to play the fifth place in South America.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team actually recruited a player who was completely unfamiliar and had not heard of it at all. There is nothing like this, but in the case of nervous domestic fans, any small part is likely to become the reason for them to be questioned or even attacked by the outside world.

Obviously, the Football Association doesn't need to explain to anyone why they did what they did, and what kind of performance the player who was called up for the first time and made the squad had in what place. But that doesn't prevent the outside world from asking them a huge "why!" ”

And the most common question asked by the people is: "Why didn't you work harder to persuade Yue Yihuang to return to the team!" ”

In this case, the Chinese team could have explained to everyone that the new Lei Yi was actually the No. 99 "Garrincha" of the Sao Paulo team who had recently shined in the Brazilian First Division, but instead held his breath and fought with the fans, looking like "You scold yourself, I eat well, sleep well, and have fun".

It seems that the Chinese team has taken the arrogant route this time, waiting for Lei Yilightning to scare the fans across the country after his appearance.

On the other end, Lei Yizheng was proudly wearing the national team jersey with Garrincha's name printed on his special request. And his national team number is the No. 11 that Yue Yihuang once worn. It can be imagined what kind of wind and waves will be set off when Lei Yi appears in the starting lineup of the Chinese team wearing this jersey.

But that's not what Lei Yi was thinking.

For him, the number 11 shirt is special only in that it was also Garrincha's number when he was in the Brazilian team Botafogo, nothing more. But that alone was enough for him to be happy for a while.

Just as Lei Yi was happily wearing his national team jersey in the bathroom and looking in the mirror, the door to his dormitory room was opened. The sound made Lei Yi turn his head to look at the door, only to see a man who looked very strong and well-built walk in. When he met the opponent's eyes, Lei Yi had already reacted, which he had seen in the video of the Chinese team's recent games, Zhang Shaolin, the current captain of the Chinese men's football team.

Zhang Shaolin, who will turn 31 in a few months, is one of the three main scorers when China reached the round of 16 of the World Cup eight years ago, and the last of the three core players who remain in the national team today.

In his prime, he also played in Europe, playing in both the Turkish Super League and Ligue 1 for a while, before returning to play in the domestic league last year. Of course, compared to his identity, his other identity is also very famous. That's ...... Zhang Shaolin played for the Turin team, the saint that Lei Yi thought was a loyal fan of Yue Yihuang.

Again, what Yue Yihuang wore in the national team was the No. 11 jersey.

So, now imagine what the current captain of the Chinese team would be like when he saw such a little kid wearing a messy name, the No. 11 jersey of the Chinese team in front of the mirror.

Oh, no, my heart is about to jump out of my anger.

When Yue Yihuang was 26 years old, it was one thing to make it clear that he would not participate in the national team in the future, but it was always very uncomfortable to see his jersey number taken by someone else. That will make people think sourly, if our brother really comes back this time, let him wear what size......

But Zhang Shaolin's age is nearly twice as old as Lei Yi. Fifteen years old! This age difference is a father in the old society, not to mention that he is also the captain of the national team. The head coach just took special care of it, and there was a new player in the team, the little guy Lei Yi who happened to miss last time. also said that Lei Yi is only 16 years old this year, let him take care of it as much as possible.

Just now, he promised that he would take good care of the seedlings......

Thinking of this, Zhang Shaolin had to let his angry face flatten a little, and then responded in a stiff tone when Lei Yi ran over to say hello.

"My name is Thunder Wing, but you can also call me Garrincha! I'm playing in Brazil now and it's my first time back for the national team! ”

"Well, there are talented people in the country, and the waves died on the beach."

Listening to Lei Yi's self-introduction, Zhang Shaolin, who had a straight face, didn't know what was going on, so he said such a sentence...... As soon as he said this, Zhang Shaolin felt that there must be something wrong with what he said, just like he listened to what Lei Yi said, he didn't know what was wrong, but it was not good to listen to him.

Thinking that he still had a rebellious period when he was a child, compared to his "This Football" that he sang all over the country with a guitar for a year, what kind of thing can these little children be considered if they are not modest enough to respect their predecessors. So Zhang Shaolin tried to talk to Lei Yi.

Zhang Shaolin: "Lei Yi, come and tell me what position you play." I haven't seen your game before. ”

Lei Yi: "Do you want to see it?" My computer is full of it!! I watch one or two of my own games every night! I don't feel like I can't sleep well without looking at it! Captain, are you going to watch with me tonight? ”

Zhang Shaolin: "......"

Zhang Shaolin: "Children's families, you have to be polite, you know?" Brother just asked you first, what position are you playing? ”

Lei Yi: "It's exactly the same as Garrincha in Brazil!" ”

Zhang Shaolin: "............"

Zhang Shaolin: "I know...... His legs are long and short. I don't know anything else......"

Lei Yi: "I know! Just ask me!! I still have a lot of precious Garincha videos on my computer that I just got in Brazil! ”

Zhang Shaolin: ".................."

Seeing that Zhang Shaolin just turned around silently and didn't answer himself anymore, Lei Yi didn't follow. Because he talked to people about topics he was interested in, Lei Yi, who couldn't stop, chased Zhang Shaolin's bed and said, "Captain! Captain! Do you see it? Very precious! Garrincha and I dribbled like one person! Really someone else, I don't sue him! ”

This time, Zhang Shaolin finally couldn't hold back his anger, and said loudly: "Brother is very depressed when he comes to the national team to compete and separates from his girlfriend, do you know!" Brother is going to watch A. movie now! A.Do you know about films? A.Are you going to watch the movie with my brother!! I look at it while jerking off!! Look at you like a man!! ”

When Zhang Shaolin shouted these words, the leading comrades of the "quasi-political commissar" who are in charge of life in the Chinese team happened to pass by in the corridor.

In this way, on the evening of the same day, Zhang Shaolin, the captain of the Chinese men's football team, was punished by the leading comrade of the team's "quasi-political commissar" who is in charge of life, for "not leading the young players in the team by example, spreading toxic and harmful ideas to young people, and intimidating young people to imitate their bad behavior", and was criticized in a circular within the national team.

Lei Yi, who knew that he might have hurt his national team roommate and captain on the first day he came to the team, could carefully hold the pillow and run to Zhang Shaolin, who was lying on the bed looking at the computer, before going to bed that night, and finally made up his mind to grit his teeth and said after hesitation:

"Captain...... I hurt you. You, you've been wronged. In order to make amends, I'll watch the A. movie with you tonight, so why don't we watch Garrincha's video? ”

Zhang Shaolin was completely angry: "! You are my ancestor!! Your whole family is my ancestor!! Ancestor, I beg you not to mess with me!! It's done!! ”

Lei Yi nodded violently and solemnly: "Cheng...... ......"

Zhang Shaolin: "............"

That night, Zhang Shaolin, who was very depressed, squatted on the balcony of the dormitory room and called his idol in Turin, Italy, with a nervous mood, and the phone was called: "Brother Yue!" Do you remember the first time you saw me when I was eighteen!!! Did you want to beat me up then!! Do you want to beat me up!! Sue me and you must want to beat me!!! ”

It was in Turin, Italy, that a young man who was preparing food for his pet seal received a call from his national team teammate, and after hanging up the phone, he said to the people around him:

"They finally recruited Garrincha. And also gave him the number 11 jersey of the national team. Perhaps, I have to congratulate you? ”

"Congratulations to whom? That imp of the world? Judging by his skills, he is incredibly young. "It's a charismatic, manly voice. The man laughed a little at the mention of that imp who could not be killed.

"No, congratulations to the Chinese team."

As top players playing in one of Europe's top five leagues, the Italian Serie A, is it strange that they noticed Thunderwing so early?

Of course not.

In recent years, there have been rumours that FIFA has made up its mind to expand the Club World Cup in order to promote a better and more balanced development of the world's major leagues.

The so-called Club World Cup, until this year, has only been a battle for the world's supremacy between the continental champions of Europe, South America, Asia, North and Central America, the Caribbean and Oceania. But just a week-long schedule between continental champions is too short. As the ClubWorld Cup's influence among fans grows year on year, there are many voices around the world. It's about the restructuring of the Club World Cup, and how they are looking forward to seeing more of the top clubs from different continents competing with each other.

Anyone can imagine what kind of grand event it will be if the barriers between football clubs are broken, and what terrible economic benefits and football effects will bring.

However, the difficulty and resistance of this matter are also conceivable.

Different continents have their own football federations, and different continents will have completely different formats.

In Europe, for example, most of the leagues in Europe have a very long summer break and a winter break of almost three weeks. And their leagues start at the end of August, early September, and end in mid-to-late May of the following year. The title battle between the top teams in the European leagues starts and ends a little later than the league competitions in the top five leagues.

The major leagues in Asia, such as the Chinese Super League, start the league at the beginning of March every year and play until November, without rest in between. The AFC Champions League starts and ends at about the same time as the Chinese Super League, with an additional two-month summer suspension.

But in South America, the league formats between countries can be described as almost varied. Taking Brazil, which has the most games and the most complex competition system, as an example, players who play in Brazil first need to start playing in the leagues of various states in January ~ April, and only start the real Brazilian Primera League in May, and so on until December.

In this way, the domestic league alone is enough for the players who play in Brazil all year round. Not to mention, they also have year-round club competitions between South American leagues.

Therefore, it is almost conceivable that it will be difficult to make enough room for the enlarged Club World Cup.

After a few years of drawing ideas and lengthy discussions, the federations on all continents have begun to slowly adjust their schedules and try to find an 18-week window to pave the way for a revamped Club World Cup.

It's a signal that Europe's biggest clubs are no longer just playing against these big clubs. They need to look further afield, to South America, North and Central America, the Caribbean, and even Asia.

South America, as the continent most likely to get eight tickets to the "World Champions Cup" after the restructuring like Europe, these old South American powerhouses that have sent countless good players to Europe's five major leagues are certainly enough to attract their absolute attention.

However, this will not happen until the future.

What we need to be more concerned about now is the do-or-die battle between China and Uzbekistan for a place in the World Cup round of 32 play-offs, which will be staged in two days.
