"Remember this moment! June 25, 2005 at 4:18:26 a.m. EDT...... We reached the semi-finals of the 2005 World Youth Championships in the Netherlands, long live the People's Republic of China!! Ahem—"

Huang Jianxiang dragged his hoarse throat, and began to cough non-stop after shouting the last sentence, and it is estimated that his excited throat has been shouted.

At the same time, the Stade Willem II director also focused his camera on Iello and there was no doubt that he was the best player of the game, as his three goals swept the Bullsteam to the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship.

It took a long time for David Silva to accept defeat and climb up the turf, only to be stopped when he was about to head down and head out to the dressing room.

"David, change your jersey, shall you?"

David Silva raised his head at the sound of the voice, and into his eyes was the familiar face, the lewd smile - I couldn't help but be amused by this smile, chuckled, although he did not speak, but the movements of his hands did not stop, took off his sweat-stained jersey, and then handed it to Iroh, and said:

"You guy, can you stop being so rebellious?"

"Hey...... I said, I want this championship! ”

Iello didn't answer David Silva's words directly, but this sentence was more uncomfortable than a positive answer, so when the latter heard this, his brows subconsciously frowned, but then he thought that his best friend was not such a person? has a bit of strength but is also very arrogant, anyway, it is not a particularly shameful thing to lose to him who is in a bad state.

David Silva rolled his eyes at him, then turned around and walked back, carrying the No. 7 jersey of the Chinese national youth team on his shoulder, and slowly walked away......

Like this scene of exchanging jerseys with the players of the Spanish national youth team, it is not uncommon after this game, Cesc Fabregas took the initiative to find Chen Tao to exchange jerseys, to be honest, the No. 10 of the Chinese national youth team surprised him very much, feeling that he is not a traditional Chinese player, but more like a Spanish player with delicate footwork, in many ways it is almost the same as himself, so after this game, he took the initiative to find Chen Tao who competed with him many times in the game.

"Seeing this scene, I can't help but think of the scene in the 02 Korea-Japan World Cup, when we lost 0:4 to Brazil, the Brazilian players refused to exchange jerseys with our players, and now everyone is watching...... It's the opponents who have taken the initiative to exchange shirts with us, and on the other hand, we've got the opponent's approval, come on, the boys of the national youth team. ”

Although Huang Jianxiang's voice was completely hoarse, after a short rest, he still stuck to his post, and he was really a passionate ace commentator.

After changing their jerseys with the players of the Spanish national youth team, the young men of the Chinese national youth team followed the captain Feng Xiaoting to the bottom of the stands of the Chinese cheering group to thank them for their continued support.

These young men of the Chinese national youth team also know that from the group stage of the first World Youth Championship, in fact, most of the fans came to see the style of the top scorer in La Liga, but as the team's table became better and better, the fans who really cheered for the Chinese national youth team came.

At first, Germany, Belgium, and Denmark near the Netherlands rushed over, and then even Northern and Southern Europe, and some even flew over from Russia to watch the game, and many fans still rushed over from China temporarily, just to be able to cheer for their own cheers on the scene!

Seeing the five-star red flag flying high on the field of the World Youth Championships, the fans were sincerely happy to be able to see the team of their home country galloping in the 1/8 finals and 1/4 finals on such a heavy stage in their lifetime, and this game was won again, followed by the semi-finals......

Some people even sigh how lucky they must be to be born in this golden generation of national youth teams.

"Should we renew the Chinese kid's contract?"

Soler turned off the LCD TV in his office, looked at the team's general manager, Carboni, and asked.

"Hey - I think David should be involved in this conversation......"

Carboni is worthy of being the old fox of the Enduring Mall, and for such a sensitive issue, he directly threw the topic to the team's sporting director Rufit.

Of course, Rufitte also knew that Carboni was causing trouble, so he smiled, "Haha...... I'm only in charge of player transfers, so it doesn't seem like it's my turn to renew players, right? ”

Soler looked at the two people in front of him, laughed secretly, then coughed dryly, stretched out his right arm, and motioned for the two to stop the topic, and the two also tacitly did not speak, and looked at the boss in front of them.

"I believe that after the end of last season's La Liga, David's desk should have a request fax as high as half a mountain, right?" Soler said.

Rufitte nodded subconsciously, he didn't lie, almost every day there is a new quote on his desk, and one is higher than the other.

Soler continued: "Do you two think it's a raise for him? Or accept offers from other clubs? ”

As the general manager who oversees the team's finances, Carboni is of course more inclined to the latter, after all, Iello was cultivated by the team without spending a penny, but ...... Of course, he wouldn't say sell it directly, and when the boss asked, he must be inclined to the former, so he said lightly: "What do you mean?" ”

Soler did not shy away from it, and said directly: "I am more inclined to renew the contract, but what level of annual salary do you think he should get?" ”

"But...... Looks like a career contract that was signed only this year, right? ”

Carboni couldn't help but say.

Soler also expected someone to answer like this, so he smiled: "That professional contract can't match his current ability at all, I'm afraid...... If we let other teams know that he is treated like this in our team, I guess it won't be long before he leaves Valencia......"

Immediately, both Carboni and Rufitte fell into deep thought.

Soler saw that both of them lowered their heads, obviously thinking, and he didn't bother the two of them, and he entered into his own thoughts.

Compared with the hesitation of the two, Soler still prefers to renew Ailo with a high salary, after all, this kid is also his lucky general, the first half of the season is fine, but I didn't expect the second half of the season to come at the beginning of a winless, League Cup 1/16 finals lost to Bucharest Star away, the future is confused, but with Ranieri promoted Aiello from the youth team, it was out of control, the team's results are getting better day by day, and after the season, not only did they retain their position in the Champions League qualification next seasonThey also went over and over to defend their UEFA Cup title.

This makes him more and more partial to this Chinese kid, he feels that it is completely impossible to keep this kid with an annual salary of less than one million euros, so it is urgent to renew the contract and raise the salary, but the team is not his alone, although he is a major shareholder, but there are still many people below him staring at him as the chairman of the team, which is why he is looking for the team's general manager and sports director to discuss.

"It is definitely impossible to have a maximum salary, otherwise the salary structure of the team will be disrupted, and the second grade should be about the same." Carboni pondered for nearly two minutes before saying.

"Well, I think that's doable, too."

Sports Director Rufitte also nodded.

Second grade? Soler still felt that he couldn't afford Iroh's contribution to the team, and shook his head, "Let's talk about this matter after the World Youth Championships, if it ......"

Soler prefers the team's first-grade annual salary to Aillo, after all, his contribution is there, and he is only 19 years old, and now he is so good at the World Youth Championships, thinking of this, he sighed again, after all, Valencia is not a top giant, according to Ailo's current state table Xiàn continues, it is a matter of time before he goes to the giants.

All the team can do now is keep him as long as they can......

"Call Enrique to my office for a ......"

In the end, the matter of renewing Ello's contract and raising his salary came to an end for the time being.

The next day, the Chinese national youth team drove to Utrecht, the city where they had just arrived in the Netherlands, because they were going to play Morocco from Africa in a semi-final three days later.

Utrecht can be said to be the blessed land of the Chinese national youth team, with three group games, each game scoring more goals than the first, and they have also 'cultivated' many Dutch fans here.

At half past two in the afternoon, the team watched a game together in the conference room of the hotel where they stayed, the 1/4 final between the host Netherlands and the African eagles Nigeria.

Interestingly, Nigeria opened the scoring less than a minute into the first half, while hosts Netherlands equalised less than a minute into the second half, with neither side able to find the back of the net.

In the end, they had to go to a penalty shootout, and the two sides even played penalties until the twelfth round, and finally the African eagles Nigeria had the last laugh, defeating the host Netherlands with an aggregate score of 11:10.

At half past seven in the evening, Krauchen organized the players to watch the last 1/4 finals, Argentina vs. Brazil, this game can be said to be Messi's personal performance game, the team was still 0:2 behind the Brazilian team in the first half, and Messi in the second half was like a different person, and he scored a hat trick to help the team reverse the Brazilian team 3:2 and enter the semifinals.

Seeing Argentina enter the semi-finals, Ailo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now the four teams that have entered the top four, and the Argentine team led by Messi is regarded by him as an opponent, and he doesn't even look at Nigeria led by Mikel.

He firmly believes that Argentina can win the championship in the previous game, and Argentina can beat Nigeria to reach the final in this world.

Only in this way will the Chinese national youth team defeat Morocco to enter the final, and the final will become more meaningful.

……

……

"Brothers, do you have any confidence in reaching the finals?"

After watching the last 1/4 finals, Iroh suddenly stood up and asked.

Final?

A group of people looked at each other.

"Don't forget, we're already in the semi-finals!"

Looking at a group of teammates who were looking at each other, Iroh said again.

Rumble!!

Immediately, everyone thought, yes! We're already in the semi-finals, don't we have confidence in the final?

"Of course I have confidence!!

"Is Morocco a diao?"

"We're going to win the championship!!"

……

……

Champion?

Thinking of this, everyone knows that the champion doesn't seem to be so far away!

Gradually, the eyes of the teammates who were still looking at each other before changed from light to greedy in an instant, like a gambler who is eager to win, and at the same time, two fine lights appeared in their eyes.

We want a championship!

ps: Thank you for the monthly ticket you voted for, and thank you Pu Pu and Brother Ghost for the reward......
