Chapter 34: I'm Back
Yoyo's physical test Shangguan Xiaolong's performance was indeed very embarrassed, and he vomited out of shape.
The players of the national youth team are from the reserves of various sports schools and professional teams, and almost represent the most elite strength of the Chinese Youth Army. Therefore, Guan Xiaolong's level of senior amateur players has no advantage in front of them, and everyone's basic skills and tactical awareness level are about the same.
But after the formal training, everyone's opinion of Guan Xiaolong has changed greatly, everyone didn't expect that the somewhat thin little dragon in front of him has such good footwork, and the instant explosiveness is so strong, especially when dribbling the ball. Of course, everyone doesn't know that this is thanks to Guan Xiaolong's skill card.
The one-month training time passed quickly, and Guan Xiaolong, Dai Hong, Chen Hao and Jiang Yunbo performed well in their teams.
Chen Hao is a pillar center, and he is the most outstanding striker of the four teams; Jiang Yunbo's face revealed a mature, old, and smoky face that did not match his age. And his style of play is also the most stable, becoming the strongest midfielder in the four teams; Dai Hong's position Guan Xiaolong could see it early in the morning, close to one meter nine, five big and three thick, definitely a defender. Dai Hong has just graduated from a sports school, and he and Chen Hao participated in the national junior team with Lao Ma a long time ago. Although he is a sports student, the cultural class is not bad, and he is a top student. The style is brave and the awareness is excellent.
However, the most eye-catching performance during the training camp was still Guan Xiaolong. The level of the national youth team is not much better than that of Zhongyi, and Guan Xiaolong's ability is easy in this. Coupled with first-class footwork, the elusive touch is imminent, and Guan Xiaolong often stirs up chaos in the opposing defense line.

On August 5th, the national youth team announced the end of the training camp, and the head coach led the staff to solemnly announce the 23-member squad of the national youth team before leaving.
23-man squad for the 91st U19 national youth team:
Forwards: Chen Hao, Xu Ming, Lin Rong, Xue Yi
Midfielders: Guan Xiaolong, Zhang Jun, Jiang Yunbo, Wang Shengli, Cui Yan, Yu Shi, Zheng Jie, Li Qiang, Liu Jin
Defenders: Dai Hong, Lin Bo, Wang An, Cheng Yong, Lin Jicong, Huang Yumin, Lin Jia, Cai Liang
Goalkeepers: Chu Jian, Ai Bo
"Didn't enter...... Woohoo......"
"I didn't go into ...... either"
When I learned about the final list, someone actually cried.
The players of the four teams spent the month, like four groups of competitors, under the leadership of the team leader, studying tactics, training tactics, and thinking about how to beat the other three teams. All the people who get here can change their location. Those who are good at playing as strikers may be assigned to the position of midfielder or defender. Tall defenders may be pushed up the front line or in the midfield. In just 30 days, each team member has formed a tacit cooperation with each other and trust each other. Although everyone knows that there are only 23 places, everyone still works hard.
At the moment when it was finally announced, it was like the release of the college entrance examination results, and these young players who lost the national youth team couldn't control their emotions and cried bitterly.
First, I regret that I couldn't grasp such a good opportunity, a great opportunity to fight for the country; the second is to miss the opportunity to go to Spain for training, which is tantamount to going abroad for further study for young players; Three, these are the times when everyone eats together, sleeps together, and trains together. Those who can enter the national youth seem to have a bright future, and those who are eliminated can only return to their original places to continue to work hard, and for these young people, this farewell may be gone.
The eliminated young players were difficult to calm down, and Guan Xiaolong and other members of the official national youth team also lost control of their emotions, hugging and crying with their teammates.
"Brother, which team are you on? When the time comes, I'll have to cover me when I go to your game! ”
"I'm from Hunan."
"I'm from Heron City."
"I'm from Tianjin."
Lao Ma and the coaching staff knew that it would be like this, how many sessions of the national youth and youth have been held, and what scenes have they not seen? Lao Ma's eyes were also slightly red at this time, and what he saw in his eyes was full of his own figure thirty years ago.
"Let them make trouble, the lad always has to vent his emotions! Tell the big guy to keep in good condition when he goes back, and if he is out of shape in the next days, he will still be replaced by others. Ma Mingyi explained to his assistant and turned around and left.

Pushi in August is the time when lychees are ripe. Looking out from the train, there are patches of lychee forests, covered with red lychee fruits.
Su Shi once said: "I eat 300 lychees a day, and I don't want to be a Lingnan person." ”
Guan Xiaolong thought to himself that Su Shi's poem was too exaggerated, you must know that if you eat 300 lychees a day, you will have boils on your ass!
Guan Xiaolong smiled when he thought of this, and sure enough, only the poetry of literati and scholars could make me feel better. On the way back from Spring City, Guan Xiaolong kept reminiscing about the training of the national youth team. It's also interesting to think about, I had a few fights with Chen Hao, and then I became good friends after a drink. I also got to know Jiang Yunbo, a virtual man, and Dai Hong, a boba, oh no, a scholar.
Although Jiang Yunbo and Chen Hao are in the Chinese Super League, they are both reserves and cannot play at all. For this reason, Guan Xiaolong teased them before leaving, saying that he was in a hurry to go back to play the game, and his eyes were not red?
Hehe, now that this section of the national youth is over, it's time to put your mind on the league. I don't know what the Lions are doing now, there are no games in the near future, Yu Yang, Xue Hang, Zhang Fan, and they are not allowed to read all the action movies of the island country? No, I have to go back and save them, I can't let them be so depressed!
However, there were still two days before the next training, and Guan Xiaolong finally decided to go back to his hometown in Pushi to see his parents and grandmother.
After getting off the train, we rushed to the market first. I heard my dad say that my grandmother has a bad appetite lately and eats less. Guan Xiaolong bought a few cans of dairy products for the elderly, and bird's nest to take back to supplement some nutrition for grandma. Mom and Dad have worked hard all their lives, and they don't have any beautiful clothes, so they buy a dress for the two of them; The eldest brother and sister-in-law helped at home, and the family was supported by the eldest brother, and Guan Xiaolong didn't know what to buy, so he bought a lot of delicious food to take home, and gave some to the neighbors' younger brothers and sisters.
I haven't been back for so long, my parents, and my grandmother must be surprised! Ha ha!
Guan Xiaolong carried a large bag and took a car back home.
When I walked to the door, the living room was quite lively, and it seemed that my uncle had also returned.
Guan Xiaolong walked outside the living room and heard his uncle talking.
"Big brother, you have to be more concerned about what the child is doing outside. Fighting with people in the national team, expulsion is a trivial matter, and it is not easy to be imprisoned! Uncle Guan took a puff of his cigarette.
When grandma heard this, she was anxious again, and said, "Young, are you telling the truth?" ”
"Really, a friend of mine was selected from the team, and he said that Xiaolong had a fight with someone that day, and this guy beat him, and everything in the hotel was smashed. Later, the leader was very angry and said that he would fire them all and have a demerit in punishment. The next day, when Xiaolong was selected, it was said that he vomited and fainted on the field, and he must have been eliminated. Let's think about it, we know that the team leader must not like Xiaolong and want to fix him! Guan Kai continued.
"Oh, my little dragon......" Grandma's tears were about to fall.
"That's why I said, reading is the most important thing! Don't do any of this, play football, whatever, it's the same as the underworld! Fortunately, our family Akai is good at studying, and our ancestors have accumulated virtue. Aunt Guan also said.
I wipe, what's the situation? Guan Xiaolong's face outside the window was embarrassed, who was this rumor, too imaginative. I said, auntie, isn't your ancestor my ancestor?
Father Guan frowned and said, "Xiaolong is introverted, it is impossible to fight with others, and if he hits the leader, he will be punished." ”
"Big brother, so you are negligent in your child's education. The child is going to be bad outside, before you told me that Xiaolong called you and told you that the national youth team recruited him, I told you that it was impossible! Even if it is, I understand this child, a half-hung oil bottle. I told you to persuade, but you didn't listen to me. The training camp is over, and Xiaolong has not returned. This kid is wild! Lushi is only one or two hundred kilometers away from Pu City, what is he busy with as a substitute player? What about making up lies! Uncle Guan said in a tone of almost contempt.
"Alas, even if Ah Long is half as sensible and filial as Ah Kai, Mom doesn't have to worry about it every day!" Uncle Guan added again.
Guan Xiaolong outside the window can't stand it, uncle, why do you always embarrass my dad? Also, why don't I have filial piety?
"I'm back!!" Guan Xiaolong strode into the living room.
