In fact, after the FIFA annual awards ceremony, Iello is not the only one in good form in European football, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, AC Milan Kaka and Barcelona's Messi are all very good, but not as amazing as Iro.

It's starting to be February, which means the biggest European teams have to divert their attention.

Because the most crucial UEFA Champions League will kick off in the second half of this month, you will need to be more prepared to win the eventual title!

The so-called preparedness is this principle.

Approaching February, Tang Shun, chairman of the Chinese XX Football Association, and Lin Yao, vice chairman of the Chinese XX Football Association, began to be a little annoyed, because the 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian top 20 qualifiers were about to kick off, and the first game of the Chinese team would face Iraq, the new champion of last year's Asian Cup, and it was still an away game, which made them even more annoyed.

Because domestic fans are full of expectations for the current national team.

But with the Europa League coming to a fever pitch, would it make these players more physically tired and increase their chance of injury if they were to be recalled to the second round of World Cup qualifying?

In fact, this problem has been haunting them since late January, but it has only continued until now.

To call or not to call?

It's almost international break.

Didn't Ielo get the World Footballer of the Year? Is that... Mid-January!

That's right!

Vice Chairman Lin Yao slapped his thigh and walked excitedly to the chairman's office: "Old Tang, although the European League is about to enter the white-hot stage, we have ignored one problem, that is...... Except for the Premier League, which does not have a winter break, all other leagues can have at least half a month's holiday, which will not increase the fatigue of the players at all......"

Therefore, the names of Ailuo, Feng Xiaoting, Chen Tao, Gao Lin, Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin and others in the list of World Cup qualifiers announced by the Chinese XX Football Association are impressive......

When the fax of the Chinese national team was transmitted to the major clubs, the clubs that had never received the national team call-up before were stunned, and then converged into two words:!

Even Mourinho was very depressed, but the fax of the Chinese national team was indeed sent, and if it was to FIFA, the club would not be able to get any benefit, because it was a World Cup qualifier during the international break, and the club could not detain the players.

Hey, I hope Iroh can control his physical fitness!

That's what Mourinho can pray for, as Chelsea host Liverpool after the international break, a tournament winner's game.

In addition, the first leg of the 1/8 final of the UEFA Champions League will start in ten days, and then the league, League Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League knockout rounds will gather together, which is also a very important test for the team!

Thinking of this, he hoped that Iroh would not be injured.

In the midst of Mourinho's struggles, Chelsea began their league campaign in February when they took on home side Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

It is also unknown if Iello was excited to be selected for the national team, but he showed his best in front of the fans, scoring a goal in each half to help the team beat the home team 2-0 to help the team continue to lead the table.

At the same time, he also extended his advantage to six goals in the first game, so the pressure was instantly thrown to Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

The morning after the round, Iello took a flight from London to Dubai, where he would face the national team for the 2010 World Cup Asian Top 20 qualifiers against Iraq.

※※※

Because of the delay of the plane, Iroh arrived at Dubai International Airport at 8 o'clock in the evening on the 3rd, and it was already 9 o'clock in the evening when he arrived at the Camadion Hotel where the national football team stayed.

Chelsea's league game was the last to end before the international break, so Iroh was the last man to return, arriving at the Carmodion Hotel where he was stopped by a long-awaited crowd of journalists.

As the No. 1 star in Asia today, being surrounded by Asian reporters can also show his deterrent power from the side.

Even though this round is against Iraq, don't forget...... Next is Australia and Qatar, if they enter the final Asian top 10, then ...... Aren't other Asian countries worried?

Previously, they used to laugh at Chinese reporters, and there are world-class players who don't use them, but now it's the other way around, and they can't wait to beg Chinese xx football not to use Iello.

At a glance, they are basically Asian journalists.

Of course...... Chinese journalists are the most numerous.

The first round of the Chinese team's first match of the 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian Top 20 Qualifiers was on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve Beijing time, that is, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, which is very important for Chinese.

It is said that the current football atmosphere in China is unprecedentedly strong, and although the time of the game conflicts with the Spring Festival Gala, it is destined that tonight's Spring Festival Gala will hit a new low in the history of Zào......

Therefore, domestic fans attach great importance to this game, and the large number of reporters who came to Dubai for interviews can be reasonably explained.

In the end, Iroh was able to escape from the reporters with the help of the staff of the Football Association and the hotel security staff...

The head coach of the national team is different from history, not Forado, but ...... Gao Hongbo, who led Changchun Asia Pacific to win the 2007 Chinese Super League championship!

Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening when Iroh arrived at the hotel where the team was staying, head coach Gao Hongbo still decided to gather all the players to the hotel conference room for a simple greet.

This standard is very high, the core of the midfield Zheng Zhi, the Dortmund pillar Feng Xiaoting, Schalke 04 lone hero Hao Junmin, and Werder Bremen god Gao Lin have not received such treatment.

Maybe in the entire national team, only Iroh is eligible to enjoy such standard treatment.

But...... But in this case, someone came to get off the horse.

"What? Feeling uncomfortable taking time off? ”

Gao Hongbo had already explained that he would have a short meeting after Ailuo and the national team gathered to talk about his thoughts in this game, but now he heard his assistant Fu Bo say that Han Peng, Qu Bo, and Li Weifeng asked for leave.

You must know that all the other players have arrived at the scene except for these three people, which is not completely equivalent to not giving face to the newly appointed head coach!

Of course, Iroh was also quite upset.

Gao Hongbo frowned, crossed his hands on his hips, and whispered viciously: "Since you are uncomfortable and ask for leave, then...... Just wait for the bench to sit through! ”

If it were in normal times, Gao Hongbo would definitely turn a blind eye, but now it is different, the new chairman and vice chairman of the Football Association are all leaders who seek political and practical things in their positions, and it can be seen from the fact that they personally went to London to invite Ailuo and others to return to the national team.

Isn't the temporary leave of Han Peng, Qu Bo, and Li Weifeng just to release a certain signal?

Lao Tzu has higher qualifications than you, why should he greet you?

Again...... Why do you grab the main position as soon as a newcomer comes? Playing abroad is amazing? Didn't you see that Shao Jiayi came to the team, didn't he play as a substitute?

But...... But they miscalculated.

The autonomy of the current national team coach is very high, and it is completely different from the list of players and starters controlled by the leaders of the Football Association in the past!

※※※

In the training on the second day, Gao Hongbo took into account that Ailuo was the last to assemble with the team, so Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi and others who came back from other European leagues in addition to him all wore yellow vests that symbolized the main force.

The starting goalkeeper is Wang Xiaolei, the current Valencia goalkeeper with experience in the Champions League final.

As the current recognized No. 1 star in China, Iroh certainly didn't want to play as a substitute in the first World Cup qualifier, so he had an exchange with head coach Gao Hongbo as soon as possible.

"Is the body really okay?"

Gao Hongbo was very surprised by Iro's request, knowing that he had only played in a fierce Premier League game two days ago.

"Director Gao, it's really no problem!" Iroh nodded in the affirmative.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the return of players in Europe.

They all arrived in Dubai in these two days, why can they occupy the main force? With the time difference between Europe and Dubai only three hours apart, and there was no sign of physical fatigue in yesterday's watch, Gao Hongbo had the courage to occupy seven of the starting line-ups.

That is, the players in the country are competing for the remaining four starting spots.

Therefore, Gao Hongbo's approach directly led to the resistance of Han Peng, Qu Bo, Li Weifeng and others, but what they didn't expect was that their arms could never twist their thighs.

But they have their own solutions, and they have tried and tested.

The warm-up was done under the leadership of assistant coach Fu Bo.

According to Gao Hongbo's idea, the game will start at four o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and the latest technical and tactical play will be practiced today in the first two days of the game, and then the day before the game will be reinvigorated and relaxed.

Of course, for many coaches, it is irrational to change tactics before the tournament, but these players in Europe are deeply influenced by advanced European football, and their ability to accept techniques and tactics is definitely much stronger than that of domestic players.

And Gao Hongbo is ready to imitate the tactics of Valencia at the beginning, with four defenders specializing in defense, two interception midfielders in the midfield, and the attack is handed over to the forward midfielder and three strikers.

Judging from the highlights of Iello's three seasons, as long as he is there, then the game is in order.

Beep beep beep –

At this moment, assistant coach Fu Bo hurriedly blew the whistle in his mouth, and the training was interrupted, and Gao Hongbo also came back from his thoughts and hurriedly ran over.

"Don't think that you used to show off your power in the national team and think that you were special, in fact, you are a fool!!"

Zhao Xuri's temper is very big, if it weren't for Gao Lin, who is also tall, he would really not be able to hold it.

Originally, he had trained well, but Ailo received Chen Tao's through ball, and as soon as he stepped out of the ball, Li Weifeng shoveled it from the side and back of Ailuo without having a chance to tackle the ball at all, if Ailo hadn't jumped up in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable, but it also made him choke with pain.

Gao Hongbo knew that the last thing he wanted to see finally happened.
