October 1, 1999, China's National Day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Barcelona in the early hours of the morning is still full of prodigal sons and drinking fans, but unfortunately, tonight's Barcelona is more frustrated, beaten 3-1 by England's team, Barcelona fans need to leave the stadium with seafood risotto and champagne to comfort their wounded hearts and stomachs.

Liu Han rushed to the airport in Barcelona with a simple luggage, accompanied by a member of the club's staff, where he needed to take his last international flight of the night, first to Dubai, and then from there to Seoul, South Korea, where he will join the Olympic team for the Asian qualifiers for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games in Seoul on October 3, where they will face old rivals South Korea.

On this trip, Liu Han will spend more than ten hours on the plane. However, Liu Han is looking forward to this trip, for the domestic fans' expectations for Liu Han's performance in the National Olympic team, Liu Han is very clear, his cousin Zhao Chengkai told Liu Han some news in China, Liu Han's trip to the National Olympic team, not only the fans are looking forward to it, even the Football Association is also a green light, Wang Junsheng, who is very aware of the relationship between Liu Han and the Zhao family, gave his subordinates a death order, once Liu Han is not happy in the National Olympic team, then the entire Football Association no one wants to be happy.

In fact, Liu Han himself is not clear about some things of the domestic football association, his current idea is to play football well, and the rest will be handed over to professionals to be responsible, and what he is looking forward to is only the expectations of domestic fans for his performance in the national Olympic team, counting basketball, this is Liu Han's first time representing the national team, when he heard the national anthem sound, he didn't understand it at all, but after so many years of life abroad, he has a new understanding of the country and his home, and now Liu Han, The thought in his heart is that he is not only proud of his countrymen, but also hopes that the country can be proud of him.

The long journey consumed some of Liu Han's physical strength, but it didn't have much impact, and people who could live normally in the jungles of Africa were actually quite comfortable with this trip in the air.

When Liu Han pushed his luggage out of the passenger passage, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, there were hundreds of fans welcoming him, not only Chinese, but even South Koreans holding posters of his time in the NBA to welcome his arrival.

Because of the great achievements in the NBA, Liu Han's popularity in East Asia can be said to be very high, in South Korea, there were once so-called experts dedicated to discussing Liu Han's pedigree, even if Liu Han went to South Korea this time as a football player, and it was also the opponent of the South Korean team, but there are still some Korean basketball fans who choose to come to the airport to get close to their idols.

In order to ensure the order of the airport, the security guards had to separate Liu Han from the fans as soon as possible, and they basically knew the identity of this tall figure.

But fortunately, the Chinese Football Association also sent staff to the airport to greet Liu Han, and Liu Han left the airport smoothly with the help of the airport staff and the staff of the Football Association and went to the hotel where the National Olympic team stayed.

At the National Sports Center in Seoul, South Korea, Heo Ding-mao, the head coach of the South Korean national team and the National Olympic team, was sitting in front of a video recorder and carefully watching the video of Liu Han's game that his assistant had spent a lot of effort to get back from Europe.

From the Charity Shield against Manchester United as a substitute as a midfielder, to Liu Han's half-time four goals at Frankie Stadium, plus the wonderful duel between Arsenal and Barcelona that Xu Dingmao watched yesterday, Liu Han's performance made Xu Dingmao frown.

Born in 1953, Xu Dingmao has a certain understanding of European football, having played for Ajax in the early 80s, so Xu Dingmao is well aware of the gap between Asian football and European football, and this gap is comprehensive.

For the Chinese Olympic team, a young team with the "Jianlibao" team players born around 77 years as the core, Xu Dingmao has attached great importance to it, in his opinion, the technical and tactical level of the Chinese Olympic team is still good, and the players are very good, which will cause a lot of trouble to the South Korean team, but now once Liu Han joins, it is not a matter of trouble, but whether the South Korean Olympic team can bring trouble to others.

Xu Dingmao felt that he should think about how to arrange personnel to defend Liu Han in the backfield, this tall player is enough to sweep the South Korean team's backline with physical fitness alone, Xu Dingmao must pay attention to it, and he believes that the Englishman Houghton will not be stupid enough to put such a player on the bench.

"Did you hear that? That Arsenal basketball star arrived in Seoul, and there were fans to greet him yesterday. The players of the South Korean Olympic team who are training inevitably talk about Liu Han, after all, the other party has a high reputation recently, and Park Ji-sung, an 18-year-old talented player in the team, said to Shen Jae-won next to him.

"Alas, how can there be such a countryman, such garbage should be kneeling outside the Guanghua Gate to apologize, hum, a reckless man who can only kick football with his body, when the time comes, I will tell him to see how powerful the men of the Great Cold Underworld are." Shen Jaewon, who is four years older than Park Ji-sung, said very disdainfully, he doesn't think Liu Han will be a threat at all, this style of playing with his body is the same as the tradition of the Chinese team, Shen Zaiyuan doesn't think Liu Han will be so powerful, and when the time comes, he may win the attention of European teams by beating Liu Han, Shen Zaiyuan is determined to give Liu Han a good look at his own strength in the game.

Liu Han, who came to the National Olympic team, met Li Xiaoguang, the leader of the National Olympic team, the 40-year-old Hebei man is Wang Junsheng's confidant, he learned about the relationship between Liu Han and the Zhao family from Wang Junsheng before Liu Han announced that he would join the National Olympic team, although Wang Junsheng asked Li Xiaoguang to take care of Liu Han, but Li Xiaoguang was worried that Liu Han, who played in Europe, would look down on the players of the National Olympic team.

However, what Li Xiaoguang didn't expect was that Liu Han looked a little cold on his face, but when he communicated, he found that the other party was very sincere, or very direct, and every sentence was straight to the goal, never going around the corner.

"Team Leader Li, you can arrange the room at will, I don't have any requirements, I just want to be able to meet the team for training as soon as possible, I want to integrate into the team as soon as possible." When Li Xiaoguang asked Liu Han what requirements he had for the room arrangement, Liu Han said.

"This, you've just been on a plane for more than ten hours, don't you need to adjust to the jet lag?" Seeing that Liu Han was very eager to join the team for training, Li Xiaoguang's originally somewhat suspenseful heart began to relax, at least the other party's attitude was very serious.
