Chapter 164: The proposed starting lineup
******
After exiting from Amsterdam International Airport, the national youth team took the train to Utrecht, which was the venue for the three matches of the national youth team's group stage.
When the Chinese national youth team arrived at the hotel in Utrecht, it was already half past seven in the evening, but what I didn't expect was... There are also more than a dozen reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel, which is particularly eye-catching under the illumination of the lights.
There are Dutch people, there are people from Spain, and of course... The most unlikely thing is that the reporters who came from China in advance, because during the time when Crowchen was training in China, he almost refused all the reporters' interviews, and Feng Jianming, the leader of the national youth team, once hinted that these reporters would be able to permanently lose the right to interview if they harassed the training of the national youth team again. It's different now, the team has joined Iroh, and the popularity has skyrocketed!
So... I can only hold back my strength to the Netherlands.
This proves once again that the title of top scorer in the Spanish Primera Liga is no joke!
"I'm going... Why are there so many people? β
Zhao Xuri said subconsciously.
"Wow... What a lot of foreign devils..."
"Look, is that reporter looking for me? He seems to be waving at me..."
"Damn...... That's to say hello to Ai Ge, okay! β
β¦β¦
The players of the national youth team walked off the bus with their mouths in mind, as if everything in Europe was fresh, looking left and right, even Dongfang Zhuo was no exception, but he was not curious, but looking for an interview with reporters, he was fantasizing that these foreign devils were all reporters from Manchester, if... If he had done well at the World Junior Championships, then Ferguson would probably have seen him in the Manchester newspapers......
It's a little exciting to think about.
Immediately, they were surrounded by these reporters.
Iroh walked over to the foreign journalist he had just greeted him, it was his old acquaintance, Enrique Wien, a well-known journalist from Valencia.
"Hey... Wayne, how did you come to Utrecht? Don't you go to report on your country's youth team? β
Iroh asked Enrique Vane from afar.
Enrique Vane was very happy to see Iroh, first patted Iroh on the shoulder, hugged him, and then said, "Yes, yes, I haven't seen you for ten days, and I'm still so strong!" β
β¦β¦
"Haha... I'll just say hello to Brother Ai, but you don't believe it..."
Tan Wangsong said proudly towards Gao Lin.
The latter directly posed a middle finger......
β¦β¦
"I don't do it, thank you!"
Iroh pouted and quipped.
Enrique Vane was subconsciously stunned, and then clenched his palms towards Iroh's chest, "You kid... What a joke! β
"Hahaha... By the way, what about David and Raul? In which city? β
"...... in Dotigem"
"Haven't heard ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Subsequently, Enrique Wiane chatted with Iroh about the ten most anticipated stars of this World Youth Championship given by FIFA, and Iroh was judged first, and it seems that the top scorer in La Liga has a lot of influence.
At the same time, the Chinese national youth team is also listed as the most anticipated national team...
When Iroh heard that he was the first of the ten most anticipated rising stars by FIFA, he subconsciously asked, "Who is the second?" Is David on the list? But soon, he added, "Don't tell me that I'm that little Messi from Barcelona..."
ββ¦β¦β
When Iroh saw Enrique Vane looking at him with the eyes of a monster, he strengthened his tone again and said, "Could it be true?" β
Enrique Vane shrugged and spread his arms, "You guessed it... But there is no prize......"
ββ¦β¦β
"David didn't make the cut, but Francisco Fabregas did..."
"That little guy from Arsenal?"
"You don't have a good opinion of Bregas, he has two years of Premier League experience, he can attack and retreat, he is very comprehensive, the only deficiency is that his confrontation ability is a little worse......"
Hearing Iro's words, he subconsciously thought that Iroh underestimated his opponent, so he began to remind him.
"Enrique, are you leaking state secrets to the enemy?"
Iroh quipped.
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
******
After Iroh and Enrique Vane finished chatting, they were surrounded by other reporters, and there are only two people in the national youth team who are most worthy of interviews by reporters, one is Ailuo, and the other is Dongfang Zhuo, these are the only two people in the Chinese national youth team who can handle it, of course... Iroh is the only one who can really get his hands on it, so... Iroh is the most annoying, and at the same time... And the happiest.
Of course, happiness is only in the eyes of those players who are not outstanding in the country.
The teammates of the national youth team also saw the popularity of Iroh in Europe, because all the foreign devils were looking for him, and even the road to the hotel was blocked, which was evident.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
It was about eight o'clock in the evening that the reporters put the Chinese national youth team back in the hotel, to put it bluntly, it was to let go of Ailuo, the first star of the Chinese national youth team, and the other players were at best a foil.
After entering the hotel, the coaching staff and players of the national youth team did not receive the room card to enter the room at the first time, but entered the restaurant of the hotel in a unified manner, because they had not eaten since they got off the plane, and more players only ate a little bit on the plane halfway, and then they rushed non-stop, and there was really no time to eat.
This is why the members of the national youth team devoured the food one by one when the hotel waiter brought the food, Crouchen looked at the group of young people in front of him, smiled subconsciously, and suddenly... For the first time, he had hope for this team, perhaps... Champions are not dreams, and then he turned his face to look at Iroh, who was gobbling up like everyone else, because of you... Perhaps, it becomes simpler.
β¦β¦

Since the arrival of the Chinese team in Utrecht, the mainstream media in Europe has lingered between the training ground and the hotel of the Chinese national youth team, and of course... In addition to the Spanish reporters, there are the most Turkish and Ukrainian reporters, they are eager to find the flaws of the Chinese team, so that their country's youth team can find a way to deal with it, if it is the previous Chinese youth team, they will never let them do this, but now it is different, the Chinese national youth team has the top scorer in the 04-05 season of the Spanish First Division, and the title is great......
In fact, the main reason is that all the training items of the Chinese national youth team are open to the public, which is the most fundamental reason why they sneer.
Your Chinese national youth team has been training openly to the outside world, is it possible that you still don't let us analyze your tactics?
As we all know, the Chinese national youth team has two foreign players, one is Valencia's Ailo, and the other is Manchester United's Dongfang Zhuo, but... In the past few days, they have discovered a problem, why is there only one Iroh in the team's main lineup?
This made them very puzzled, and once thought that Dongfang Zhuo was a secret weapon of the Chinese national youth team.
β¦β¦
"Hey... Ai pay attention to the movement, intersperse the running, don't limit to the left side... Remember! The whole front court is your range of activities!! β
"Chen, don't hesitate, opportunities are fleeting when you compete, you are a spiritual organizer, don't let hesitation consume your aura..."
"Feng, when you break the siege, you must be neat, don't hesitate, and don't play with fire in the back!"
β¦β¦
As the time for the game gets closer and closer, the entire national youth team has entered a critical preparation period. No one dares to relax, of course, the main reason is because of the reporters and viewers that Ailo 'brought', Ailo's table in the Spanish Liga last season was quite dazzling, and half a season played the number of some long-established stars, which is an extremely rare situation, so... There have been rumours that a big team is watching Iroh.
Everyone likes to watch some reports when they are fine, and I know that those scouts just like to mingle with ordinary audiences, so... The players of the national youth team are serious and hard-working, hoping that one day they will be favored by European teams, transfer to foreign teams, and become famous in Europe like Iro.
Krauchen is more and more satisfied with this national youth team, from the simple mental outlook, it is not inferior to the championship favorites Argentina and Spain, nodding with satisfaction, he is full of confidence in the future of this team.
******
With two days to go until the match against Turkey, Krauchen has drawn up a preliminary starting line-up for the Turkish youth team at the HagΓ©wald Stadium in Utrecht two days later.
Goalkeeper: Yang Cheng
Defenders: Zheng Tao, Zhao Ming, Feng Xiaoting, Tan Wangsong
Midfielders: Zhao Xuri, Chen Tao, Zhou Haibing
Forwards: Ailuo, Gao Lin, Cui Peng
β¦β¦
When the starting lineup proposed by Crawford came out, Feng Jianming of the Chinese coaching staff naturally had the right to know, and soon... After he saw this starting lineup, he subconsciously frowned and asked, "Why is there no Dongfang Zhuo?" β
Crawford sighed and said, "I admit that Dongfang is a gifted child, but... I don't think he's ready to start, it's a runner-up in the UEFA Youth Championships, he's very strong, and he didn't defend as fast as I wanted, so..."
Crouchen also wants to use Dongfang Zhuo, but the opponent in the first round of the game is too strong, and the team only needs a non-defensive Ailo is enough, if there are two frontcourt players who do not return to defend at the same time, then it will cause a lot of pressure on the team's defense, and if one is not careful, it is very likely to be beaten into a sieve by the European runner-up.
"But... Dongfang Zhuo's offensive ability is stronger! Feng Jianming was still hoping to convince Crowchen.
Crawford shrugged and spread his hands: "Offense wins the crowd, but defense gets the honor... Feng, I believe you are a team leader who knows how to make trade-offs..."
"But......" Feng Jianming still wanted to say a few words for Dongfang Zhuo, but when he was about to speak, he found that he had no words to speak, and let out a breath of turbidity, which was regarded as acquiescing to Crowchen's starting lineup.
Feng Jianming did this for the sake of the achievements of the Chinese national youth team, if it weren't for Dongfang Zhuo's talent, and he was one of the team's two foreign players, he would not have left Dongfang Zhuo in the team regardless of his identity when Dongfang Zhuo and Ailuo left the team, regardless of his identity, and contributed so much youth to Chinese football, and he also hoped that Chinese football would make a breakthrough in his lifetime.
Now that Krauchen has his own plan, he can only do what he says, hoping that the national youth team can have a good result against the Turkish youth team in two days' time.
