Chapter 139: Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed
******
What Xie Yalong didn't know was that after the boss on the other end of the phone hung up the phone, he hurriedly dialed another phone number, a long series of numbers, and the first four digits 0044 were particularly eye-catching.
"Hey, niece—I've got you covered!"
After the phone was connected, Liu Peng changed his previous majesty and said in a very gentle tone.
"Hehe-thank you, Uncle Liu, I'll go to your house to play with Yuxin during the summer vacation, by the way, I'll definitely help you say a few kind words in front of my grandfather..."
The owner on the other end of the phone turned out to be a woman, listening carefully, young and sweet, if nothing else, it should be a little girl no more than twenty years old.
"I'm sorry for you—my niece..."
Liu Peng hurriedly replied.
"Then I'll hang up if it's okay - I'm going to class soon..."
"Okay, again... See..."
Before Liu Peng finished speaking, he had already hung up the phone on the other end of the phone, he had to smile bitterly, shook his head, put down the phone, and fell into contemplation again...

The next day, the well-known journalist Ma Dexing used a very eye-catching headline on the front page of the "Sports Daily" "The Football Association is mighty, the World Youth Championships are no longer a dream!" In the middle of the newspaper, there is also an illustrated photo of Iello cheering, the text reads: "According to the latest news, in recent days, the head coach of the U19 national youth team of the Chinese XX Football Association, the German Krauchen, has determined that in a month from the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands, we will see the young players galloping in La Liga on the field of the World Youth Championships... As one of the four Asian teams that have entered the World Youth Championships, with the addition of Ielloh, I believe everyone will definitely have room for illusions about the results, according to reliable sources, the German Krauchen has made a military order, as long as Iello is in the team, the team's results are at least the top four of the World Youth Championships..."
The "Sports Daily" published on the same day caused an uproar among domestic fans because of this report, because the best record of the national youth team in the World Youth Championships was still reaching the quarterfinals, and the last national youth in the World Championship was four years ago in Argentina World Youth Championships.
Interestingly, the homeless man who had been holding the sign of 'Xie Yalong out of class' downstairs in the office building of the Chinese XX Football Association quickly changed 'Xie Yalong out of class' to 'Xie Yalong is mighty' after seeing the front page of the "Sports Daily" that day
A month later, the Dutch World Youth Championship with the addition of Iello did make domestic fans have full expectations for the 85 generation of national youth team, scoring 25 league goals in 14 league games in La Liga, and ranking first in the La Liga scorer list, which is the top scorer list in Europe!
Something that has never happened in the history of Chinese football!!
With the defeat of the Workers' Stadium and the loss of qualification for the World Cup in Germany in '06, the young generation of the 85 countries is also pinned on high hopes.
It didn't take long for this national youth team to become the strongest national youth team in history, and the shouts even surpassed the national youth team led by Li Huayun in 83.
I believe that in the coming month, domestic football should be indispensable to report on this...

While the domestic news is in full swing about Elo's selection for the national youth team, Valencia is ready for the 04/05 UEFA Cup final at the Alvarad Stadium five days later.
In order to better prepare for the game, the Valencia team of 32 people came to Lisbon five days early...
When all the Valencia team members arrived in Lisbon by plane, they were surrounded by many reporters when they got off the plane, and they couldn't get out of the plane at all, and those dedicated reporters obviously didn't want to let go of the Valencia team members lightly...
"Will it affect the team if manager Claudio Ranieri is still not on hand to take charge of the team in this UEFA Cup game?"
"Will Wonder Boy still maintain his goal scoring efficiency in the league?"
"The final is played at the Alvalad Stadium in Lisbon, will it cause you a lot of psychological pressure?"
······
The Valencian players who were pushing their luggage one by one were almost taken aback by the formations in front of them, but fortunately, most of them had experienced a hundred battles and were used to seeing the formations in front of them, so they quickly adjusted, basically treating the reporters in front of them as transparent people, continuing the movements in their hands and pushing forward.
Navarro turned his head to look at Iro, and found that the latter's expression was similar to his own, very flat - so he relaxed, he was more afraid of Iro's first major final and the director was nervous, and when the time came, he played abnormally...
"Chinese boy, I heard that you said before that you would score goals in the final, and Valencia would win the championship if you played a package ticket?"
Just as Iroh was pushing his suitcase and following the team in front of him, a local reporter in Portugal suddenly stuffed a large microphone in front of him, fortunately he stopped fast enough, otherwise he would really have a close contact with this large microphone, and his teammates behind him also had a chain reaction because of his sudden stop...
Iroh stopped and looked at the Portuguese reporter with a very calm expression, "Yes, I said it! ”
He replied to the Portuguese journalist in a very affirmative tone.
"But don't forget it's Lisbon!"
"So what?"
The Portuguese reporter was subconsciously stunned by such a sudden rhetorical question by Iroh...
However, by the time he reacted, Iroh had already followed his teammates out of the exit.
In order to relieve the pressure on the players, head coach Claudio Ranieri and acting head coach Benetti have implemented a one-day-a-day relaxed policy, which means one training session a day and then the rest of the time is spent relaxing or having tactical lessons.

That night, while Iello and his brothers were sitting in their hotel room playing the latest game of Pro Evolution Soccer on the market, David Silva seemed bored, so he turned on the TV and soon switched to the local sports channel.
"Sporting Lisbon's final opponent Valencia has arrived in Lisbon at one o'clock this afternoon, and most of the Valencia players have not been interviewed by this reporter, the whole team is as promised, arrogant - very arrogant..."
After the voice in the TV ended, it switched to the screen of Valencia arriving at Lisbon International Airport, and the seven people sitting on the bed holding the handle were fighting, and naturally stopped their movements and focused on the TV.
Soon, when the TV switched to the faces of Navarro, Aurelio, Aimar, Iroh and others, the little black man immediately became excited, and his eyes widened, because he clearly remembered that he was following Ailo, but... After switching to Iroh's face, he didn't continue to play back, which made the little black Andy very unhappy, and shouted: "Damn, you didn't let me be on camera!" ”
His words immediately drew a burst of laughter from the other seven.
"Chinese boy, I heard that you said before that you would score goals in the final, and Valencia would win the championship if you played a package ticket?"
"Yes, I did!"
"Don't forget this is Lisbon!"
"So what?"
The camera switches to the Portuguese reporter and Iro's body one after another, with Iro's entire face written with calm, while the Portuguese reporter looks a little angry.
As soon as the words in the TV fell, the picture switched back to the studio, and the host of the Lisbon Sports show said indignantly: "Ai of Valencia looked very flamboyant when he was interviewed by this reporter, look at his expression..."
The screen cuts back to Iroh's face as he answers the reporter's speech.
After seeing this expression, Iroh also began to admire the imagination of this host...
"Although he scored 25 league goals in 14 league games in half a season in La Liga, and his terrifying goalscoring efficiency also made the whole European football world remember this young boy from far away China, please don't forget that this is Lisbon, and this is the final of the UEFA Cup, not your average La Liga, and the fierce competition is completely different... And his remarks in an interview with this reporter can be regarded as a lack of attention to Sporting Lisbon, or... Look down on it? ”
After listening to the host's words, Iroh's whole expression became wooden.
"Old Seven is really mighty!"
The TV screen switches to the image of Iroh answering the reporter again, and the well-meaning Navarro points to the TV set.
"Damn, can you still play happily!"
Iroh was speechless, he had seen the tricks of media workers out of nowhere...
******
Just when Iroh was very speechless, Ricardo, the main goalkeeper of Sporting Lisbon after returning home from training, also saw the news report.
With a fiery personality, his first reaction was that this kid was challenging himself!
I am also the best goalkeeper in Portugal this season, and I won the best goalkeeper award in the European Cup last year, and my face-saving buddies call me 'San Ricardo'! Where did you come from?
Want to score my goal and win the UEFA Cup without my permission?
What's the big international joke?
Ricardo has already made up his mind to pay attention, and he must give some color to the final in four days to show the Chinese boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, let him know what it means to respect the old and love the young, and the guest of honor is different!

Ahead of their UEFA Cup final against Sporting Lisbon, Valencia contacted a local amateur side in Lisbon to boost morale with a big win.
The game did not disappoint the club's hierarchy, Valencia defeated Lisbon Amateur United with a score of 13-0, in which Airo once again scored five goals in the half, and three assists were scored, and the excellent competitive form made Valencia's coaching staff happy and closed.
Today's Valencia is more and more dependent on Aillo's excellent performance, and it can be said that Aello's good performance Valencia can win...
Over-reliance on one player is the epitome of an immature team, but who cares about that at the moment?
Players who are in excellent form are not used well, so why not expect those players who play a mess on the field?
After winning this exciting warm-up game, the entire coaching staff also put the players' competitive state on the adjustment of the players' psychological state.
That night, the entire team spent five minutes with the team's counselor, and happily, the team's players were in a very good state of mind.
In other words, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
