Chapter 62: The New Chinese Youth Team
Two days later, Xu Zhen returned from Yanjing, and although he was more expensive in the match against Seoul FC, he managed to pass the selection of the Huaxia youth team.
The current Xu Zhen is indeed a relatively outstanding member of the entire Chinese youth players. He can not only play for the Spring City team in the Chinese League, but also make his own contribution in the AFC Champions League.
Such a player is also unacceptable for Liu Bo's Chinese youth team.
Xu Zhen successfully joined the Chinese youth team, and he was extremely excited about this. It was a regret for him not to be able to participate in the Asian Youth Championships last year, and this time he can finally play for the country with Lin Qi and Luo Ming.
Xu Zhen returned to the Quancheng team to thank Lin Qi and Luo Ming, he knew that he could join the Huaxia Youth Team without the help of Lin Qi and Luo Ming. If it weren't for them, Xu Zhen probably wouldn't have recognized the situation until now, and if they weren't willing to let Xu Zhen train together, Xu Zhen wouldn't have the strength to be selected for the Chinese youth team.
The list of the Chinese youth team was decided, and in the end, Qilu and Quancheng became the teams with the most selected players, each with three players selected, and the Royal Yanjing team also had two players successfully passed the selection of the Chinese youth team. Among them, Zhu Shaofei was finally recognized by Liu Bo this time.
In fact, Zhu Shaofei already has the strength to play for the country, but his personality is too arrogant, which will affect the state of the Chinese youth team, and Liu Bo will give up on him at last year's Asian Youth Championships.
But now, Zhu Shaofei's personality has also changed a lot. Although it will still be a little arrogant, but who is the score? In front of Liu Bo, a head coach who even An Run and Lin Qi respect. Zhu Shaofei really has no qualifications to be arrogant.
Even though he is a member of the royal family, on the football field, if you can't help the team, no one will take special care of you because of who you are.
Zhu Shaofei's identity in the Chinese Youth Team is Lin Qi's substitute, and he has nothing to say about such a position. Who made his performance not as good as Lin Qi, and who made him not as helpful to the Huaxia Youth Team as Lin Qi.
However, Zhu Shaofei also secretly decided that in this World Youth Championships, as long as there is a chance to play. Will definitely give it his all. Whether as a mainstay or as a substitute. He is a member of the Chinese youth team and is burdened with the responsibility of winning glory for the country.
If Zhu Shaofei had this awareness, it is estimated that he would also be a member of last year's Asian Youth Championships. Now, though, come to your senses. It's not too late. His addition will definitely bring the overall strength of the Chinese youth team to a higher level!
This time, the tryouts. Liu Bo is really carefully selected, and he wants to build the strongest Chinese youth team to meet the challenges of the World Youth Championships!
The list has been determined, but Liu Bo did not directly lead the team to the training camp.
There are still more than two months to go before the start of the World Junior Championships. Even if the Chinese youth team started training immediately, it was very late compared with the youth teams of many countries. But Liu Bo is not in a hurry at all, mainly because the situation in China is different from other countries.
In other countries, especially in Europe, most of the young players who participated in the World Youth Championships have not yet shown their talents in the league. They are either first-team substitutes or second-tier players, and the games they play are not so important and they can leave the club at any time to join the youth team.
In recent years, Chinese football has developed rapidly, and outstanding young players have been emerging. Not only have they joined the first team to play in the top league, but some have even grown into the core players of the team.
This is an indispensable process for the renewal of Chinese football!
It is impossible for Liu Bo to bypass this process, and of course he can't take these players who were selected for the Chinese youth team directly. For example, Lin Qi, Zhou Tao and Lin Heng are definitely not what Liu Bo can take away now.
Lin Qi will not talk about it, he is the absolute core of the Quancheng team, without Lin Qi's participation in the battle, the overall strength of the Quancheng team will definitely be greatly reduced. You must know that Lin Qi is the only hope for the Quancheng team to qualify in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, and in the remaining two group games, if the Quancheng team is without Lin Qi, there is really no hope at all.
And Lin Heng and Zhou Tao have also successfully occupied the position of the main players of the Qilu team through their excellent performance this season, and the Qilu team has been able to maintain the momentum of consecutive wins this season, and these two young players are definitely indispensable.
If the Qilu team wants to establish an absolute advantage in the first half of the Chinese League, they will definitely not let people go easily. And in the same way, the Springs team will not let go.
Although national glory is more important than anything else, the players belong to the club after all. It would be nice if they didn't have that much of a role in the club, but the main contradiction is that they are indispensable in the club's games.
Liu Bo is also very helpless about this situation, and he actually wants to start the training camp of the Chinese youth team as soon as possible. But after thinking about it, Liu Bo is not too anxious.
The purpose of the training camp of the Chinese youth team is to improve the individual ability of the players and their cooperation with each other. With the young players he has now, can he still need him to improve his ability? Each of them is basically a player who can play in their respective clubs, and their improvement within the club may be even better than the effect of the training camp.
In this way, all Liu Bo has to do before the World Youth Championships is to strengthen the cooperation between them. Most of the people in this newly built Chinese youth team are still the team that participated in the Asian Youth Championship last year, and the tacit cooperation between them was formed as early as last year.
Liu Bo only needs to help them get acquainted with it again, which won't take much time. So Liu Bo let his players continue to play for the club.
If you really want to talk about it, Liu Bo feels that the Chinese youth team he is forming now is not the Chinese youth team at all, but more like the Chinese national team. Because the national team does not have that kind of ultra-long training camp, which is similar to the current situation of the Chinese youth team......
Liu Bo is still happy to see this situation. This shows that Chinese football is indeed developing quite rapidly, and the players he selected are indeed very strong.
The World Youth Championship is a major event in Chinese football, but because the training camp has not started, it is not the time to pay attention to the World Youth Championships, and the players and fans are more focused on the Chinese League and the AFC Champions League.
Nearly a week's break, Springs welcomed their twelfth round of the Chinese League. This time they didn't have the same surprises as in the ninth round, and in the end Quancheng won 1-0 away from home.
The fans of the Spring City team were truly relieved after the Spring City team won this game.
The Quancheng team did not give up the AFC Champions League, so the fans of the Quancheng team are still more or less worried, they are worried that the AFC Champions League will affect the results of the Quancheng team's Chinese League.
Compared to the AFC Champions League, fans value the matches of the Chinese League more. After all, the championship of the AFC Champions League is still too illusory for the Quancheng team, and fans are more willing to let the Quancheng team win the first championship trophy of the Chinese League this season!
In addition to the Quancheng team's win, there is another good news for the fans of the Quancheng team in this round of games, that is, the game of the Qilu team.
The Qilu team has finally ended their winning streak this season! In the twelfth round of the Chinese League, the Qilu team was forced to draw by the opponent away. This is actually quite disrespectful to the opponent of the Qilu team, but the fact is that this is the case, who calls the strength of the Qilu team strong. Their opponents were able to draw at home to Qilu, which is already a pretty good result.
The draw of the Qilu team means that the points gap between the Quancheng team and the Qilu team has narrowed to four points! The Royal Yanjing team, which is behind the Qilu team, has not performed well in recent rounds, although they are still in third place in the standings, but the gap between them and the Quancheng team has reached as much as eight points......
