After 7 rounds of games, Guan Xiaolong was in a hot state, scoring 10 goals in succession, making Guan Xiaolong famous.

However, in the following games, the Lions' form was problematic.

On May 20, he went to Ningbo to challenge the Huaao League, and the Ningbo team put on a defensive lineup, and the Lions were not in the state. The two sides were entangled together, and the Lions were stunned that they didn't have any good chances, but let the Ningbo team play a few good shots. Fortunately, goalkeeper Liu Shuang saved the opponent's counterattack several times at the critical moment, and the Lions drew 0-0 away from home.

Five days later, the Lions' form continued to be sluggish, and the Zhanjiang team challenged away from home played a mediocre performance, and the two teams combined to present an extremely dull game. At around 60 minutes, Xue Hang scored a goal after receiving a pass from Ding Li, and the home team won a difficult victory.

The most depressing thing in these 2 games is Guan Xiaolong, in fact, Guan Xiaolong's performance has been good, even in these two games, he has always been the most active person on the field, causing a great threat to the opponent. But neither Ding Li nor Xue Hang seized the opportunity created by Guan Xiaolong. In these two games, the opponent strictly guarded Guan Xiaolong, and Guan Xiaolong himself did not have many opportunities to score.

To make matters worse, after the match against Zhanjiang, the main central defender Du Degang and left winger Wang Jinheng were injured. Lao Du has a knee injury and needs to rest for at least 4 weeks. Wang Jinheng suffered a muscle strain in his right thigh and had to rest for at least 3 weeks.

This is a big problem for Li Ming, the Lions team is not thick in the first place, and now there are injuries, and the next games will be very difficult to play.

******

In the office of the general manager of the Lions club, Li Ming led Ma Mingyi in.

Lao Ma continued to observe Guan Xiaolong, although the two Lions had a bad record, but Guan Xiaolong's performance was in his eyes. This time, he also decided to recruit Guan Xiaolong.

"Yo! The horse guide is coming, and there is no way to welcome it! There is a long way to go! Cao Jie quickly stood up and stretched out his hands to shake the old horse's hand.

"Huh! Bother, Boss Cao! The old horse stretched out his right hand and held Cao Jie tightly.

"What boss, I'm almost out of food, haha! You are a senior, just call me Xiaocao. I heard Lao Li tell me that you are coming to visit. I said, how can this be? If there is anything you call me to go, how can you come here! Cao Jie was busy making tea.

Lao Ma thought to himself, this Cao Jie is really young and promising, and he is really good at speaking. Li Ming must have told Cao Jie about Guan Xiaolong, he knew that I had a request for him, but as a junior, I had to say polite words, and I had to talk about them in place.

"Hehe, in terms of seniority, when I was playing, you probably were still wearing open crotch pants! Ha ha! Then I will rely on the old and sell the old, and call you Xiaocao. Lao Ma took Cao Jie's tea.

Lao Ma has led the team for many years, and he has always been straight to the point, not dragging mud and water. When I saw Cao Jie this time, I went straight to the point.

"I won't tell you the truth, I actually have something to discuss with Xiao Cao you this time." Ma Mingyi said.

Cao Jie glanced at Li Ming, Li Ming smiled slightly and nodded.

"If so, you are Li Ming's teacher, and you are my Xiaocao's teacher. If there's anything I can do to help, I'm sure I'll do my best. Cao Jie's attitude is very sincere.

"Then I'll be blunt." Lao Ma paused, "In the near future, we will select a group of young players to form a U19 youth army to compete in the 2010 Asian Championships." There is a member of your team named Guan Xiaolong, we have watched him for several games, and I hope to bring him along. The old horse's tone was very calm.

"Oh......" Cao Jie responded, thinking to himself that your great bodhisattva named me, where can my small temple be stopped! Then he replied: "Support the national team, it should be." This requires Ma Dao to run in person, just send a letter to Xiaoguan, as long as there is not an important event on the team's side, the club will definitely interfere. Of course, even if there is a conflict, it is incumbent upon us to serve the national team. ”

"I would like to thank Xiao Cao for your righteousness on behalf of the national youth team. However, this time, the youth team will form a team to train in Spain. The Football Association signed a three-way contract with ADI and La Liga officials, and La Liga gave lessons to the national youth team for free and arranged match tasks. However, as a resource exchange, the players who were favored by the Spanish team asked for priority signing. Lao Ma continued.

Cao Jie had actually heard Li Ming say about this a long time ago, and his attitude was very clear, that is, he was unwilling to accept it. The Lions have just undergone a major change, and it is difficult to gather personnel to play in the second division, and the current situation is particularly favorable for the Lions. Guan Xiaolong is the core of the team's offensive reliance, and Cao Jie really can't accept such a clause.

In fact, Cao Jie actually has such contradictory thoughts in his heart, that is, although Guan Xiaolong has performed well in the Lions, Huaguo football has also produced many future stars, and in the end, whether they go abroad or stay in China, their final destination is inseparable from the Huaguo football circle after all, and they have not entered Europe, even if it is a second-rate team. Therefore, he actually doesn't quite believe that there will be players in the national youth who are favored by Spain to the point where they must be signed. This is just a La Liga operation as a businessman, after getting the ADI sponsorship, I hope to get a little cheap on the side of the Football Association, and it can also be called to help the training of young players in China.

"Hehe, this La Liga is quite dark!" Cao Jie said with a smile.

"If you want to say that this national youth employs people, I am in favor of it with both hands! But if there was a possibility that I would lose a player, I think it might be ......"

Before Cao Jie finished speaking, Lao Ma interrupted: "It can't be said to be a loss." Most clubs in Spain still have a very strict internal youth system, and even if we have young players selected, it is not certain whether they can pass their internal selection. If a young player is selected and ends up staying in Spain, it will be lucky for that young player. I'm ashamed to say this, I've been building the youth team for so long, and I haven't made any results. On the contrary, in Europe, where the youth system is advanced, it would be a good thing if we had young players into their system! ”

"The Football Association took the lead in bringing such a good platform, and it is not enough to rely on the support of the sports school within the physique. When the student soldiers are trained, they are definitely not as bright as the young players in the professional team. The professional team is also a part of the Chinese football community, and it also depends on you to contribute! Besides, if a player becomes a talent, it is the luck of Chinese football and the glory of the Lions. ”

Cao Jie: "......"

Cao Jie read in his heart, I let you speak all the obedient words, and I seem to be very picky when I say it. I'm also a passionate young man who loves football, oh no, middle-aged. OK？

Cao Jie didn't know why, his brain, which was still very sober, was now a little messy. I still have a very firm position, and after seeing Lao Ma, I feel that I have naturally lost a lot of points. Now that he said this, Cao Jie was a little impulsive.

The reason why Cao Jie refused was the instinct of businessmen to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. But the reason for the hesitation is the impulse brought about by the unique love for Chinese football in the body. Just like the collapse of the team at the beginning of the year, Cao Jie, who was originally depressed, suddenly had the urge to save the team because he saw the children playing football downstairs in the community. So later, it was to deal with the withdrawal of the original shareholders, to find a way to get money to solve the salary problem, and to run the Football Association to find the team's competition. Looking back now, not only did I not lose anything, but I was quite fulfilled.

"Hehe, it seems that in front of football, I can't get up as a businessman." Cao Jie smiled bitterly.

Under Lao Ma's national offensive, Cao Jie agreed to Guan Xiaolong's matter, and Ma Mingyi praised Cao Jie.

"Hehe, Lao Cao, I knew you would agree!" Li Ming patted Cao Jie's shoulder after sending the old horse away.

"With an undercover agent like you, I'm sure I'll lose!" Cao Jie shouted.

"Hahaha!! Drink and celebrate your contribution to the future of your country! Li Ming laughed.
