Li Huitang has been invisible for two consecutive games, which is very different from the fiery state he was in before he left Hong Kong. On the one hand, it was because he had just returned from hot Jakarta and was a little uncomfortable and suffered from a severe cold - but as the "ticket seller" of the national team, he had to play every game.

On the other hand, they are still worried about the selection of the national team.

We all know that he has a disagreement with head coach Yan Chengkun in this regard.

However, on the day Lu Zhuhu visited the national team, after Yan Chengkun expressed a seemingly reasonable opinion, Li Huitang's reaction was diametrically opposed to what the head coach expected:

"Since instead of recruiting the more famous Zhou Xianyan and Dai Linjing, but recruiting the less famous Lu Zhuhu will 'provoke public anger' - then why don't we recruit Zhou Xianyan, Dai Linjing, Lu Zhuhu and all the other pearls? It's nothing more than - play a few more training matches. It just so happens that we can sell a few more tickets for the show. ”

Li Huitang's opinion made Yan Chengkun dumbfounded.

What he's good at is being a peacemaker, recruiting new players into the team, and inevitably pushing out old players - after all, there are only 22 people who can go to Germany. The midfielders basically play in Hong Kong and Guangdong, and they are familiar with him - who do you say to eliminate?

If you offend people, try not to do what you can.

What's more, according to Li Huitang, at least three people will be taken away at once. Again, the selection process is very cumbersome.

The opinions of the two could not reach a consensus, and Li Huitang also held his breath in his heart.

But after losing to Westman United, the other players also felt that this team was still quite good-

But a group of students beat their opponents to the ground, and their dignified national team players are indeed embarrassed to lose their grandmother's house.

But on the other hand, since Lu Zhuhu can score four goals for this team, then ......

Looking for him to try?

Now that the players in the team have no opinions, Yan Chengkun can't shirk it anymore. Can only be promised.

It just so happens that on April 29, the national team will return to Shenyuan Stadium to play against the Chinese Football Federation team (referred to as "Shanghai Zhonghua", which is the Shanghai Tang All-Star) that gathers the elite of all Shanghai Chinese players.

The whole team promised to let Lu Zhuhu try out, and Li Huitang immediately seemed happy, and the depression of two games with zero goals was much better.

……

Lu Zhuhu himself was not affected in any way, and still took students to practice and do exercises on the Fudan campus.

The students also comforted him and said that he didn't choose him for the national team and had no vision, in fact, what everyone didn't know was that Lu Zhuhu went to Li Huitang that day-

He never thought about joining the football team of this World Games!

The reason is very simple, we all know that China's first opponent in this Olympics is the British Empire. With the current team, it is impossible to win when it meets England, which has the best development in the World League, the most football talents, and extremely rich tactical literacy. Although there is a player Li Huitang who is ahead of his time, after all, there is only such one.

And, even if it can win against the UK, what about Sweden? What about Germany? What about Italy? Even if Lu Zhuhu joins, there are two 2s, but everyone is a straight flush and four kings. The winner of the last World Cup, the champion of this Olympic Games, and the winner of the next World Cup, Italy, is not an exaggeration to say that it is the earliest dream team in the history of football.

As far as you are a group of amateur players in China, how do you compare with them?

Although he is passionate many times, he is still rational in his bones.

The Chinese people are most optimistic about football in this team, but the Chinese people don't understand the situation at all.

Chinese football is hopeless, both now and in the future.

Football can enter the quarterfinals this time, and compare this year's big dark horse Japan-what encouragement does it have for the Chinese people? Now, after all, it is not China, which has many strengths except for football.

Lu Zhuhu's idea, he might as well sign up for other projects, in case he comes back with a bronze and silver medal, which is far more useful than a good ranking in football that doesn't have much meaning.

What he has a headache now is that he is obviously the strongest category in terms of comprehensive physical fitness in later generations, but there is still a gap between him and the top athletes at this time.

The sprint is not bad, more than 11 seconds, and the record of this era should be decades away from breaking 10. But it is estimated that in this era, it is still far from those top stars. Liu Changchun, the only player in the last Olympic Games, is really a pity, the fastest 100m is 10.7 seconds, and he has maintained the national record for 25 years - you must know that the 1928 100m Olympic champion was only 10.8 seconds.

Well, the results of the elimination in the preliminaries may be faster than him.

He also practiced swimming, which was good, but it was all for recovery training. I don't know if there are any men's 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m freestyle, men's 100m, 200m backstroke, 4x100m, 4x200m freestyle relay, 4x100m medley relay, 4x100m medley relay...... So many disgusting options. He didn't know what the world records were.

Pole vault?

Hey, yes, pole vaulting is not good, after all, the Chinese are not very good at this sport, Chinese bamboo is very suitable, the Japanese used to have pole vault champions rely on Japanese bamboo with good toughness.

"Xiao Dong, help me go to the school to cut a bamboo in the bamboo forest, I want to practice pole vault!"

Xiao Dong: "......"

……

On April 27, Lu Zhuhu rubbed his sore buttocks and came to Tao Lechun, where someone invited him to tea.

And the person who invited him to tea is also very interesting, Zhou Xianyan, the former national who was not selected for this national team. This gentleman just graduated with a master's degree on the 27th of last month and returned from the United States.

"Brother Lu? Please sit down, please take a seat! Zhou Xianyan is very enthusiastic, a big dimple sinks into the left side of his face when he smiles, and a mouthful of white teeth makes people feel very good.

This gentleman's reputation is very famous in Shanghai, and he is one of the few goalkeepers in China with a large number of fans - the fans always sit in the stands behind his goalkeepers, and the fans also change seats with him when the goal is changed at half-time. He was also a legend when he became the starting goalkeeper of the national team, at the beginning Li Huitang organized the team to go to Australia, and it was easy to find other positions, but the goalkeeper couldn't get out of the first few picks, and Zhou Xianyan was just a student of Shanghai Jiaotong University at that time, so he took him to guard the goal. At that time, if Jiaotong University took more than two weeks of leave, he would have to repeat a grade, so in order to participate in this competition, he simply stayed at the first level. At the beginning, the performance was unstable, and he was almost scolded to death by his teammates and fans, anxious to "summon Bao Jiaping from China at any cost", but he thought that he would play better and better in the future, and almost every game blocked the opponent's must-score goals and went to Australia to win a complete victory.

With this experience, in 1930, at the 9th Far Eastern Games, he became the starting goalkeeper of the national team, and eventually helped the national team win the championship. Comparing his strength with Bao Jiaping, Li Huitang said: Bao Jiaping will not miss the ordinary dangerous goal, but he will not save the goal that must be scored; Zhou Xianyan will not miss the ordinary dangerous ball, but he can save the goal that must be scored.

From this point of view, in his heyday, this Zhou Xianyan was even better than the "door god" Bao Jiaping. If you take him with you, the goalkeeper of the national team can be called a double insurance.

I just don't know, what is he going to do with himself?
