Chapter 50: Before the Competition

He slept on the sofa in the main control hall of the base for fourteen or fifteen hours, and it was not until the alarm clock rang that Lu Wei woke up from his long dream.

Lu Wei did not forget his mission, and after the alarm clock rang, he quickly got up and returned to his bedroom on this side of the earth.

After washing up and packing up a few clothes, Lu Wei carried a small gift bag and prepared to go out.

"Lu Wei, are you ready? Please come to the East Asia Gymnasium before 6:30 and leave on time at 7 o'clock. Zhao Xu called Lu Wei.

The flight from S city to GZ city takes off at nine o'clock, but because the traffic in S city is relatively busy, the more than ten kilometers from the stadium to the airport, there is a high probability of traffic jams, in order to prevent delays in flights, the team personnel will leave early.

"Get ready, get over right away."

Lu Wei raised his hand and looked at the time of his watch, 5:57, the time was still early, remembering one thing, Lu Wei picked up his mobile phone and called Chen Long.

"Long Chen, I'm going to GZ soon, to participate in the game against Evergrande, didn't you say that you want to go to the scene to watch the game? Are you still going? ”

A voice came from the other side: "Brother, I may not be able to go, there are some things to deal with here...... By the way, brother, there is one more thing, don't rush back to S City when you go to GZ, play there for a few more days, and when I solve that matter, I will call you back. ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Wei's eyes shrank, and he immediately understood, "You mean that Brother Bin will send someone to deal with me?" ”

The loss of Ssangyong Demolition Company is so heavy that it is impossible not to retaliate, Chen Long said that there is something to deal with, and it is estimated that he is trying to find a way to help him wipe his ass and eliminate the follow-up impact.

"Well...... Brother, you are just an ordinary person, it is not okay to be reckless in everything, some people, not to mention you, even I am helpless, this world is far from being as simple as we imagined. Lu Wei heard the sound of sighing.

Lu Wei nodded, "I know, I can stay in GZ for two more days, but I will still come back, not for a long time." ”

"Well, I'll call you then."

Hanging up the phone, Lu Wei went downstairs with his luggage bag.

Walking to the third floor, hearing movement in room 302, Lu Wei stopped, suddenly thought of something, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

The door opened, revealing a face with a shy moon, bright eyes and bright teeth, and when he saw the person at the door, he immediately smiled, "Brother Lu, it's you." ”

"Guo Yan, I'm going to GZ today, do you still have any plans to go to the game?"

"Huh? Coming up with a game today? ”

Guo Yan was taken aback, she didn't know that Lu Wei's game was going on today.

Guo Yan's face immediately showed a look of guilt, and she kept apologizing: "I'm sorry Brother Lu, I forgot about this matter, I even forgot to buy air tickets and tickets, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

"It's okay, no need to apologize, the main thing is that I haven't told you about something these days, since you can't go, forget it, you still have to go to work, or watch me play on TV, it's the same."

In fact, Guo Yan is not to blame, Lu Wei has not been at home for the past few days, and he has not mentioned the ball game to Guo Yan for a long time, and he is going to play today, so he told her that she didn't react.

Lu Wei looked at Guo Yan with an apron tied around her waist again, she was busy making breakfast, it was just before six o'clock in the morning...... It's hard enough to go to work, how can you remember the football game?

Guo Yan shook his head, "No, Brother Lu, I really planned to watch you compete, but I really forgot this time, don't worry, since I promised you to go, I must go!" Today I will ask the boss for leave and go to the scene to watch you play! ”

Guo Yan's gaze was firm.

"No, it's too troublesome to run around, and there's no need to delay work, it's the same on TV, so be it, it's not early, I'm leaving, goodbye!"

"Brother Lu!" Guo Yan shouted, Lu Wei just turned around and waved at her, and then went downstairs and left.

……

6:25 a.m., East Asia Gymnasium.

"Viagra, you're finally here." After getting out of the taxi, several players saw Lu Wei and stepped forward to say hello.

"It's just you, let's go." Zhao Xu glanced at Lu Wei and told everyone to get on a bus and go to Hongqiao International Airport.

At 9:15 a.m., the plane took off on time and flew to GZ City, which is more than 1,100 kilometers away.

……

GZ City, the capital of Dongguang Province, the fourth largest city in China, is located in the mouth of the Pearl River, the third largest river in China, with a population of more than 13 million, developed economy, convenient transportation, the world's fourth largest port, is the economic and political center of southern China, with a suitable climate and beautiful environment, and is known as the "flower city" and "the capital of the third world".

This city, which is also the home of Evergrande Football Club, is the place where countless strong teams are buried.

After getting off the plane, the pick-up staff who had been waiting at the airport for a long time and some media reporters rushed up, and a group of reporters and media workers, carrying heavy cameras and microphones, ran to the coaches and players of the East Asian team and asked all kinds of questions.

"Coach Hu, do you have confidence in this game?"

"Manager Zhao, the East Asian team is now facing huge relegation pressure, I heard that the team owner intends to sell the team, what do you think about this?"

"Captain Li, do you think the East Asian team has the possibility of defeating the Evergrande team today?"

"Yu Zhengchao, I'm Jiang Lan, a reporter from Sports Daily, your recent performance is amazing, do you have the confidence to score at the home of Evergrande today?"

There was even a reporter who recognized Lu Wei in the crowd and handed the microphone to his mouth, "May I ask if you are Lu Wei?" I heard that your nerves react much faster than normal, is this really the case? ”

Lu Wei was a little surprised that the media paid attention to him, but he still buried his head in the process without saying a word, followed the team to get rid of the entanglement of reporters, and left the airport.

……

Today's match attracted a lot of attention, mainly because the East Asian team was strong, but because the East Asian team was too weak and weak to the brink of relegation.

However, the script suddenly took a small turn, and the East Asian team magically climbed out of the abyss of relegation with three impeccable victories in a row, tied with the Lifan team in the rankings, and had a glimmer of hope of relegation.

This attracted the attention of some media, and some sports columnists were inspired to write several articles with a premonition that the East Asian team would succeed in relegation, which attracted more people's attention, and countless eyes were placed on the weak team of East Asia.

The news is like this, no one reads the story without drama and twists, the more twists and turns the story is, the more eye-catching it is, and the strong performance of the East Asian team has made some people think about it, and a faint sense of anticipation haunts them.

However, when Lifan defeated Renhe and got three points, this expectation became a final review before confirming the correct answer, even if most of them already had the answer and didn't think that a miracle would happen, they still wanted to try the question again, so as not to lose sight.

However, is it really possible for the East Asian team to defeat the giants Evergrande?

……

Dinglong International Hotel, where all the East Asia team stayed.

The official match will start at 19:45 in the evening, and it is only 12 noon, and there is still a little time to adapt to the local climate.

After lunch, the East Asian players changed into jerseys and shoes and went to Tianhe Sports Center in the scorching summer.

Tianhe Sports Center is the home stadium of the Evergrande team, the main stadium Tianhe Football Stadium, with 56,800 seats, can accommodate up to 80,000 fans to watch the game, the internal facilities are luxurious and advanced, spacious horseshoe-shaped courts, beautiful Bermuda lawns, hanging on the roof of the stadium, waving the South China Tigers flag in the wind, and neatly arranged billboards on the side of the guardrail, all showing the aura of a strong team.

Five years ago, after Evergrande Group acquired the Sun Football Club, it founded Evergrande Football Club, and squeezed into the quarterfinals for the first time in the Super League, and then won four Vulcan Cups in a row in the Super League, becoming the team with the most championships in the Super League.

Not only that, Evergrande has also won one Super Cup, one FA Cup and one AFC Champions League.

It's a young team and a strong team.

The reason why the Evergrande team is so strong is also very simple, as early as the beginning of the club's establishment, Evergrande Group has invested heavily in the introduction of a large number of highly skilled foreign players and high-level international football coaching staff from the world's football powers, with a total investment of more than 4 billion, and no domestic football club is comparable with it.

How can such a team built with gold not become the number one domestic giant?

……

East Asian players come to Tianhe Football Stadium to do some adaptive training before the start of the game and increase their chances of winning.

In June, the weather in GZ was hot, and under the scorching sun, East Asian players ran on the scorching grass, dribbling, passing, shooting, and carrying out various tactical cooperation according to Coach Hu's instructions.

"Viagra! Here comes the ball! ”

Yu Zhengchao shouted, his instep jerked hard, and the football shot towards the goal at high speed.

Lu Wei made an interception move, but when he looked up, he saw the dazzling sun, his eyes narrowed, his reaction was half a beat slower, and the football poured into the goal.

Lu Wei has not yet found the form to kick the ball, and the success rate of interception in football is not high, and more than half of the balls have leaked.

"It's leaking again." Lu Wei took out the football in the net, threw it to Zhang Ning, and said with some disappointment.

"Your state is not bad, practice a little longer, and you will get back to your previous state." Zhang Ning comforted and patted Lu Wei on the shoulder, his state has declined a little, but it has not yet dropped to a very exaggerated level, at least compared with Liu Dabao, Lu Wei is still more reliable.

Some Evergrande players who are training have paid attention to the situation here.

Among the Evergrande players, in addition to pure Chinese, there are also some foreign aid with brown hair, brown skin and dark circles, most of which are imported from South America, they have the face of a Westerner, the skin color of an Easterner, and the general curly hair of a Middle Easterner...... Typical mixed-race features.

At the moment, they are pointing at the East Asian players who are training here.

"Hey, look, they are our opponents today, all Chinese, not a single foreign aid."

"Tsk, their footwork stinks, they can't kick so close to the goal? This level can only be used as a second-tier substitute for us. ”

"What do you think, Goulart?" A Chinese player touched a foreign aid with a dragon tattoo on his arm next to him.

"Sopuniness, Fivezero," the foreign aid said, holding his hands and looking at them for a moment, shaking his head.

Five to zero?

When the Huaguo player heard his words, he said disdainfully: "Goulart, only five to zero? I think at least 7-0, Sevenzero! ”

"It's also possible that Eightzero"

β€œNinezero”

"It doesn't matter how much it goes to zero, we're going to get a comfortable win today."
