"Although the strength is strong, the cooperation is insufficient." Coach Meng frowned and gave a pertinent evaluation, "Football is a team sport, and it is not something that can be won by individual ability...... The stats show that your touch rate is just as high as your interception rate, and you interact too little with your teammates and are almost always on your own. ”

Peanut couldn't help but point out: "I have nothing to say about your answer, but I think I'm not the only one in the team who is football like this - Wu Zejun is similar to me, and he plays football alone, why can he be selected?" ”

Coach Meng glanced at Wu Zejun and replied, "In terms of personal strength, he is slightly stronger than you." ”

"So, he's a 'phone bill'?" Peanuts use a wonderful adjective.

The corners of Coach Meng's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Yes." ”

Wu Zejun: "......"

~ Coach Meng actually admitted that he was charged with the phone bill...... Is he Wu Zejun so bad?!

Lang Tao and other players of the national youth team blushed and tried desperately to hold back their laughter.

Peanut was dejected and had nothing to say.

Coach Meng clapped his hands and said euphemistically: "Maybe there is something flawed in this selection system, but we have done our best to select twenty-three better players, and the remaining players, please don't be discouraged, you will have a chance in the future...... Okay, I won't delay your time, I'll give you half a day, you guys make your own arrangements! In the afternoon, I asked for only twenty-three faces in this stadium, and I didn't want to see anyone else, got it? ”

- Can you not understand? Coach Meng, this is driving people!

The 43 players left the stadium in disappointment and headed to the accommodation building – an unforgettable experience that they had only been able to do for three days...... The forty-three players said goodbye to the players of the national youth team who were selected for the national youth team, or quickly packed their bags and left this sad place as fast as possible, or cursed in a low voice that Coach Meng was blind and threw away Meiyu as a stubborn stone.

After saying goodbye to the 43 unsuccessful players, the 23 players called home and told their parents that they had been selected for the national youth team – which meant they could not go anywhere during the summer holidays to concentrate on football and the World Youth Cup!

Lang Tao called his father and wrote lightly: "Dad, Mom is by your side, right?" Did you go to work? - Good news and bad news: The good news is that I have been selected for the national youth team! I was able to lead the national youth team to the World Youth Cup! The bad news is that I'm not coming home for the summer holidays! I'm going to practice hard in the training camp! ”

Lang's father: "......"

After a while, Lang's father weakly cheered up: "Son, come on!" The future of the national football team depends on you! ”

"Ahaha~" Lang Tao held his mobile phone, raised his head and laughed: In the world, there is no more beautiful praise than this.

was expected by Lang's father, which made Lang Tao fluttering.

Anyone who saw Lang Tao's crazy appearance would squint at him with strange eyes.

Lang Tao didn't notice it, he was still happy to himself, and said, "Thank you dad for your support!" By the way, I'll be sure to let you know in advance when I'm ready to play...... Don't forget to watch TV! ”

"Understood." Lang's father said weakly, "Sports channel, right? - Lang's father decided: Even if he doesn't like to watch football games, he still wants to watch football games with gritted teeth for his son!

"Yes~" Lang Tao smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line.

Lang Tao and Lang Father chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

When he looked up, he saw his teammates around him staring at him intently.

Blinking, Lang Tao smiled and said, "See what I do?" Blooming on my face? ”

"I see a flower." Jiang Bisheng held his chin and said, "That flower is called 'I want to be the captain'!" ”

Jiang Wusheng added: "It's still 'I want to be the captain of the national youth team'!" ”

Lang Tao raised his head and said without modesty: "How? Would you like me to be the captain? ”

Jiang Bisheng nodded lightly, but Jiang Wusheng turned his face away and pretended to ignore it.

Lang Tao simply looked at the other players, half begging and half threatening: "Our team, mainly in the campus group of the Big Football League, whoever doesn't support me, I will toss who - Team Li, Vice Team Zhao, I remember that you agreed with me at the beginning, so I let me be the captain of the Group A team!" ”

Li Guangwu and Zhao Jiayun were stunned and speechless—aren't they? Three days ago, Zhao Jiayun was in a hurry to recruit people, and Lang Tao did say that he had to be the captain to join the Group A team, so they also automatically acquiesced......

- Very good, half of the solution! Lang Tao turned the target and said to the Group B team dominated by Xue Lin: "Team Jiang may not be happy, but I think you will definitely not be unhappy." ”

Xue Lin looked at Langtao calmly, and didn't say a word, listening to how he flickered.

I only heard Lang Tao say: "Tell Team Jiang that if he doesn't agree with me being the captain, I will fix his brother, and then write to his parents to tell him that he abused his brother!" …… If it doesn't work again, do you think it's good? - I made an appointment with him to shoot, you come to the goal, you put water on me, let me score, you don't allow him to put water on him, I want him to never score! When Coach Meng comes, I will use this matter to squeeze him and see what kind of face he has to become the captain again! ”

It's poisonous! Lang team, you don't want to be the captain of the national youth team for the sake of being the captain.

The players of the national youth team said with their eyes in their eyes.

Lang Tao snorted and said arrogantly: "Anyway, anyway, I will be the captain of the national youth team - whoever dares to rob me, I will fight with whom!" I'm not afraid to lose! I can afford to lose! ……”

No one wants to be entangled by Langtao - I'm afraid it's just a matter of one or two entanglements, if you entangle them every day, every time you entangle, you can't stand it! What's more, Langtao's strength is obvious to all, and there is nothing wrong with being the captain of the national youth team.

Secretly and quickly communicate with the eyes, the players of the national youth team who did not object.

In other words, Lang Tao took them by default.

Happily, Langtao waited for the arrival of the afternoon.

In the afternoon, the 43 players who were eliminated from the tournament all left, and the huge stadium was suddenly deserted - 23 players of the national youth team wore red uniforms, consciously standing up, waiting for Coach Meng's arrival.

Coach Meng brought two more assistant coaches and said: "The World Youth Cup football tournament will start on July 14, and there are still 10 days left before that day! We spent seven days practicing and three days recovering our strength! I've got you guys in the following games, and I hope you'll be able to play them all! ”

The 23 national youth team players pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Coach Meng's words: "It's a coincidence that the host of the 2023 World Youth Cup football match is our country, and the host venue is the Bird's Nest Stadium – so you don't have to rush to catch up with anything...... This time, in order to let you better experience the strength of your opponents, I decided to let you play a few football games with several domestic football clubs, warm up, increase your experience, and then you will play a few friendly matches with foreign teams, and there will be reporters ...... at that time."

"Will we fly abroad?" Duanmu Midori hurriedly asked, "Like the women's football team, looking for opponents to play all over the world?" Duanmu Lu was tapped on the head by Li Jun.

Li Jun scolded lightly: "Are you stupid? Do you have a brain? We are the hosts, how can there be a host who runs to the guest's house to play football? - They came to us! ”

Duanmu Lu was slightly disappointed: if the men's football team can also fly to foreign countries, maybe they can meet the women's football team or something...... Inexplicably, Duanmu Lu remembered a certain women's football team player again.

- Duanmu Green didn't take it into account at all: after a few months, the women's football team has already finished playing, why are they still running around and singing about conquest all over the world?

"As for the captain......" Coach Meng coughed, and just said four words, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the players of the national youth team in unison-

Wu Zejun said: "Teacher Meng, can you let Langtao be the captain?" ”

Xue Lin then said: "Langtao is quite responsible, and if he is the captain, I also have an opinion." ”

Jiang Bisheng said positively: "Coach Meng, we have discussed it privately, and we hope that Lang Tao will be the captain." ”

Li Guangwu said: "I owe Langtao a captain. ”

Zhao Jiayun said: "Lang Tao is the captain, it is better than Jiang Wusheng as the captain." ”

Jiang Wusheng's forehead was bruised, and he said coldly: "I support my brother's opinion. ”

Jiang Biyun hurriedly said: "I support the second brother's opinion. ”

Jiang Biqing said: "I have no opinion. ”

Other youth players: "......"

Staring at the gossip of the players of the national youth team, Coach Ru supported his forehead: It is also a skill to be able to convince the guys who jumped out of this group - since they all recommended Langtao, Coach Ru went along with the water and agreed: "Okay." ”

As a teenager, an assistant coach handed the captain's armband to Langtao.

Lang Tao took the captain's armband, buttoned it carefully, and lit up the captain's armband, which was very exciting.

When the players of the national youth team saw it, their hands were itchy inexplicably, and they wanted to beat Langtao -

Immediately, the players of the national youth team sighed again: Forget it, they all agree that he is the captain, what position do they have to oppose again? - Why did you come here earlier?

So, in the case of dead skin, Lang Tao successfully ascended to the throne of the captain of the national youth team.

"We're going to win the World Youth Cup!" Lang Tao clenched his fists and raised his arms, "The glory of the national football team is written by us!" ”

"Champion! Champion! The players of the national youth team, who have always been calm and calm, cheered one after another.

Coach Meng looked at it with a smile and didn't break their illusions - the national football team has always been very bad, and the World Youth Cup has never won the championship...... Since some people now want to win the World Youth Cup championship and honor the motherland, he is not a villain, so he does not pour cold water on them, and what do they say to let them see the current situation of the national football team......

People~ There are always young years, and you always have to be crazy to be so that you don't waste your youth?

"Captain of the national youth team." Coach Meng recalled Lang Tao so that Lang Tao would not be overly overdone, "I haven't finished my words yet!" Do you want to listen to what follows? ”

"Yes!" Lang Tao and other players of the national youth team made a look of listening.

Coach Meng said: "Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, we will still be here, and we will have a friendly match about the football club!" The opponent is 'Beijing Renhe Football Club' - let's choose the nearest one first. ”

Jiang Wusheng was nervous and self-expressed: "The most powerful domestic football club is 'Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Football Club' - do we have a chance to play with them?" ”

Zhao Jiayun despised Jiang Wusheng and sighed: "What if you really want to play football? - Can we win? I look at the suspense~ Tomorrow's friendly match, we have to play with professional players, right? ”

"Yes." Coach Meng said casually, "They are not a few years older than you, except for height and game experience, you are about the same as them...... Don't underestimate them. ”

National Youth Team Players: "......"

The expressions of the 23 players of the national youth team were indescribable.

In other words, why does Coach Meng think that they will underestimate professional players? - No matter how big your heart is, you should have a degree! It's true that they are conceited, but that is also conceit to players of the same age! It's really up to them to play against the pros...... Heh~ I don't know how dead words are written?

The 23 players of the national youth team are both looking forward to and fearing: looking forward to playing against the masters, afraid of losing too badly - if they lose to the point of losing their self-confidence, it will be too cost-effective! In order to enhance his psychological endurance, Coach Confucianism deliberately enlightened: "Don't be burdened to play, don't be discouraged if you lose, you have to lose, winning is a miracle, losing is normal, there is nothing to be decadent." ”

Lang Tao pursed his lips and disagreed with Coach Ru's statement - Lang Tao thinks: To play football is to play well with all your might, and the idea of losing must not be had, otherwise why play football? There is only one win and defeat in football, and there is only one way to the strong, and that is to win all the way to the end!

For certain matches, if you lose, you lose the whole game.

"Finally, as for the question of the eleventh selection-" Coach Meng whetted everyone's appetite, "just look at the current performance!" Whoever performs well will start tomorrow! ”

- It's the same old way again!

The national youth team players shrugged their shoulders.

So, while the other party was not coming, the players of the national youth team played actively and did not waste a minute or a second.

The afternoon passed by in a hurry.

In the evening, a group of national youth team players gasped for air, like fish on land, and it was difficult to breathe.

Coach Meng only glanced at it and made a decision-

"Have you rested enough?" Coach Meng also didn't talk nonsense, "I announce the starting list of the national youth team: Jiang Wusheng, Jiang Bisheng, Jiang Biyun, Jiang Biqing, Lang Tao, Zhao Jiayun, Li Guangwu, Lin Qingyu, Li Jun, Cao Chun and Xue Lin!" ”

Wu Zejun almost fell: Why is he not in the starting list?!

Wu Zejun wanted to question Coach Meng, but he couldn't.

- Maybe it's him? Anyway, the places in the national youth team are all from the Big Football League, and everyone knows a little bit about his personal strength, except for the slight highlights of his collision and acceleration, his skills are so rough that he can't bear to look at them directly, no wonder......

With a bitter mouth, Wu Zejun lowered his eyes, not daring to question Coach Meng's arrangement.

Coach Meng didn't look at Wu Zejun, and said quickly: "The above eleven players, I hope you can perform well in tomorrow's game!" ”

"Yes~" The eleven starting national youth team players responded loudly.

The next morning, the Mengxun Stadium was lively.

"You're the players of the national youth team?" Cheng Wen's tall man led a team to come, "Fortunately, we are members of the 'Beijing Renhe Football Club', please take care of us!" ”

Lang Tao almost looked straight: the average age of the other party was about twenty-five years old, and he was in the prime of life.

Swallowing his saliva, Lang Tao stepped forward, shook hands with the other party, and said: "Hello, we are players of the national youth team, please take care of us!" ”
