It's already February, and the first phase of the World Cup qualifiers will start in April.

The old men of the Football Association reacted a little slowly, and it was not until Shen Long took Napoli to kill Inter Milan and Bologna in succession to win three consecutive victories that they made up their minds, and Shen Long also performed well in these three games, not only locking the middle, but also constantly attacking and scoring goals, but anyone who is not blind can see Shen Long's ability.

Especially in the game against Inter Milan, Shen Long and Vieri, the strongest player in the world today, went head-to-head, squeezing Vieri like squeezing Nedved, which made all Inter fans stunned.

In just three games, Shen Long led Napoli to surpass Vicencha, Verona, Lecce, Reggina and Udinese, not only successfully getting rid of the relegation zone, but also climbing to the twelfth place.

"Hello Ori, I am the head coach of the national team, Milutinovic, and I now send you an official invitation to participate in the next round of training for the national team." Milou said over the phone.

"Thank you very much for your trust." Shen Long still has a good impression of the coach who brought the national football team to the World Cup for the first time, although he said that he made a lot of money in China, but he also made Chinese fans happy for several years, which is much better than those who just take money and don't do anything.

"So, can you return home like this? I know Serie A is very competitive and Napoli are in the relegation zone, so if you need to take a leave of absence, I will approve it. "For a genius like Shen Long, Mi Lu is still very tolerant.

"That's true, if it's convenient, I think I'll not participate in the training camp for the time being, you know, I haven't played many games before, I need to gain experience, Serie A is obviously more suitable than warm-up games; When it comes to the group stage, I'll go back and play a round or two, so I don't have to worry about the chemistry with the team, and when it comes to the top 10, I'll try to play as many games as possible. Shen Long didn't be polite to him.

"Your arrangement is very reasonable, I'll try to explain it to you from the Football Association!" Mi Lu also agrees with Shen Long's approach, but the Football Association doesn't see it that way, they can't wait for all the games to pull Shen Long back, just like Yang Chen, which caused Yang Chen's state to decline greatly.

Although Shen Long doesn't think that the long-distance flight will affect his state, but now is the critical time for Napoli to impact the European competition, and he still wants to take Napoli into the Champions League next season, and the Serie A league and the first round of the Asian World Cup qualifiers coincide a lot, and he can't take care of that side if he can take care of this side.

Anyway, even if there is no me, the national team can easily beat Indonesia, Maldives and Cambodia, it is enough to go back and deal with one or two games by yourself, Napoli is more difficult here, if you want to enter the Champions League this year, you need at least 56 points, Napoli only got 26, there are still 30 short, at least 10 games to win, now there are 14 rounds left in the league, but you can't be sloppy, and the time to squeeze out two games is already the limit.

"Thank you very much, I'll go back when the first game of the qualifiers starts." Shen Long hung up the phone after speaking, of course there would be opinions on how to deal with the Football Association, but Shen Long was not worried at all, as long as they still wanted to make a breakthrough in the World Cup and wanted to make political achievements for themselves, they had to recruit themselves, even if they were angry, they could only endure it.

Milu announced the news, and most of the fans expressed their understanding, yes, the quality of the Serie A games is higher, and it is still good for the national football team to exercise a few more games, and careful fans can see that in these three games, Shen Long is stronger than one game.

On the contrary, a few media seem to have some opinions, saying some strange things such as unpatriotic, Shen Long did not be polite to them, and directly blocked them, and now the major sports media in the country have arranged reporters in Naples, including these few, and these media immediately cried.

The Serie A league continues, Napoli's next schedule is much easier than before, Lecce, Perugia, Atalanta, Vicenza are all middle and lower teams, Shen Long led the team to a wave of four consecutive wins, pushing Napoli's points to 38 points, has entered the qualification zone of the UEFA Cup.

Compared with the bleak and miserable appearance of the first half of the season, Napoli fans feel as if they are in a dream; Their surprise was not over yet, and then Shen Long led the team to defeat AC Milan and Bari, winning nine consecutive victories.

Just as Napoli fans were starting to dream of a 10-game winning streak, the sad news came that their Oli was returning home to play in World Cup qualifying.

Shen Long flew straight from Italy to Xi'an, where he lives with Xiaoxia in Ordinary World, where China's first match in Group 9 of the Asian World Cup qualifiers will be played against the Maldives.

The outside of the airport was crowded with fans who came to greet Shen Long, and Shen Long could only sneak away quietly through the special passage, not that he was unwilling to contact the fans, but that there were too many people, and accidents could occur if he was not careful.

The national team put the meeting in the training base, Mi Lu personally gave Shen Long the No. 10 jersey that symbolizes the core of the team, the original No. 10 is Hao Cannon, he is not a good temper, if someone else comes to grab the No. 10 jersey, he will definitely not let it, but compared with Shen Long, the gap between the two is too big, and Hao Dacang has no temper.

called out the number ten jersey and changed into the horse's number nine jersey himself; After two days of training, Hao Dacang was completely convinced, his proud speed and shooting skills were not enough in front of Shen Long, but Shen Long's wonderful passing allowed him to get the opportunity to shoot again and again, which was simply too enjoyable.

I felt happy not only him, but also the players on the back line, with Shen Long in front, Li Datou, General Fan and goalkeeper Jiang Jin in the back line all felt a lot more relaxed.

If we continue like this, maybe we can really enter the World Cup this time! For the first time, the national team was confident in itself.

On April 22, Shen Long entered the starting list along with the other ten players, and his first game for the national team was about to start. ”
