"I know, you don't want to be co-opted by the Chinese Football Association, and you don't want to have conflicts with the other party, right?"

Ringer and Krott conspired in the apartment for more than an hour, and the two sides reached a united front.

The next day, Ringer avoided it, and the person who negotiated with the surnamed Wang became Thomas Krot, a German who was not afraid of offending the Chinese Football Association.

The man surnamed Wang obviously came prepared, or the Football Association came prepared, and soon the Chinese youth team called up Ringer to take him to the Toulon Cup to be held in France this summer.

The Toulon Cup is an international football invitational tournament initiated by the French Football Federation, which is held every year in Toulon, France, inviting youth teams from various countries to participate, and the players required to participate are under 21 years old, and Ringer just meets them. The Toulon Cup has a lot of influence in world football, and it is even considered to have a higher gold content than the World Youth Championship.

Although the Toulon Cup has high gold content and great influence, it is always an invitational tournament, that is, the participants are not selected to participate, but invited to participate. In order to increase their influence, in addition to inviting youth teams from football powerhouses, countries like China, which have a huge football market, are often invited.

In the 07 Toulon Cup, China was invited to participate, when the Football Association sent the National Olympic team prepared for the 08 Olympics to participate, hoping to train and increase the experience of the game, but unexpectedly won the runner-up.

Many times, misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessings and misfortunes lurk. The success of the Toulon Cup gave the Football Association great confidence, thinking that the 08 Olympic Games of China had a great deal, and the Football Association was immersed in laughter and laughter, quite impetuous, and the Football Association even gave up the South African World Cup trials directly for Olympic football.

Although it is very difficult for the Chinese team to pass the World Cup trials, Olympic football cannot be compared with the World Cup at all, so why can't you give up the World Cup for the Olympics, which is simply losing watermelons to pick up sesame seeds.

The end result was that there was nothing to be done with watermelon and sesame seeds. The 08 Olympic Games were defeated, which also became the fuse of the black storm in Chinese football. After the Olympic fiasco, everyone from top to bottom realized that Chinese football was rotten to the root and really needed to be rectified.

This year, the Chinese Football Association was invited to participate in the Toulon Cup again, although the Chinese youth team went to participate in the Toulon Cup, basically to send people's heads, but it has always been a very influential youth event in international football, and the Football Association intends to use this to seduce Ringer back.

"Lin, are you interested in going to the Toulon Cup?" Krot was a little entangled at this time, participating in an influential international competition like the Toulon Cup was indeed a great opportunity for Ringer to increase his popularity, but he was worried that Ringer would be incorporated because of this.

"Forget it, Thomas, now the Chinese Football Association can be said to be in chaos, why am I going to France? Looking for abuse? ”

Ringer does not have any illusions about this Toulon Cup, and now the black storm in Chinese football has come to an end, and it is also the most intense stage. Chinese football itself is a glass heart, and now in such an environment, it is impossible to achieve any results, and Ringer can't take it with him. Moreover, Ringer is still a newcomer, and most of the time he has to see the faces of the "old men".

Therefore, Ringer doesn't want to enter any national team at all, and if he goes, he will lose with it, and he may become his own black history in the future. And most importantly, the Chinese national team will not have any important games to play in the next two or three years, so why should it go? I went to play a warm-up game to earn ticket money for the Football Association.

After knowing Ringer's intentions, Krot publicly declared the next day: "Although he has only been a professional player for a few months, Lin has already proven his ability, and he is a top striker in Asia." Lin should have been selected for the senior national team and not be put into a group of baby soldiers, which would be disrespectful to him, so I suggested that Lin refuse this call-up. ”

Soon, the spokesperson for the Football Association responded: "We don't need a German to point fingers at our own players. ”

Faintly, the two sides are a bit of a mouth fight.

Ringer and Kroethe's plan is that Kroeter, a German, will stand in front against the Football Association, and Ringer will be invisible behind him, so that even if there are accusations, most of them will go to Krot, and it will not damage Ringer's reputation.

Well, the role of the broker is like this, there is a pot for him to carry, otherwise those brokers will not spend their commissions in vain.

When asked about this, Ringer avoided talking about the verbal battle between the Football Association and Crot, and mentioned from time to time: "I was just an ordinary college student, it was Mr. Crott who dug me, he made me a professional player, made me realize my football dream, and I have always been grateful to him." ”

So after a while, the matter between Ringer and the national team became such a version: Ringer is a good boy and does not resist the Football Association national team or anything, but he has a nasty German agent, who has repeatedly obstructed the contact between the Football Association and Ringer, and Ringer, as a good boy, is naturally grateful, he has always been grateful to the Germans who dug him, and he listens to the Germans' opinions on many things.

Therefore, the goal of the Football Association has temporarily become to persuade Ringer to change an agent first, preferably with a familiar "Chinese own person". And Ringer is grateful, and this kind of "ungrateful" thing naturally cannot be done.

On April 28, in the eighth round of the J League, Tokyo FC hosted Shimizu Agitation, Bobovic once again rotated for the AFC Champions League, and the opposing striker Toshiyuki Takagi scored the only goal of the game in the second half, and Tokyo FC lost 0:1 at home, and the league ranking fell from 2nd to 4th. Ringer came off the bench in the 84th minute, but time was running out as the opposition began to shrink their defence and he was unable to change the game.

With only three defeats this season, all at home, Tokyo FC has earned the title of home bug.

On May 2, in the fifth round of the AFC Champions League group stage, Tokyo FC hosted Brisbane Roar, and this time Tokyo FC only needed to get one point to qualify one round in advance, but Bobovic was not satisfied with one point at home.

Ringer and Chima Watanabe started again, Ringer scored in the first five minutes of the first half, and assisted Chima Watanabe in the second half to seal the win, and finally Tokyo FC defeated Brisbane Roar 4-2 at home to qualify for the AFC Champions League group one round ahead of schedule. Ringer scored a brace in the game, while Chima Watanabe scored twice, and the Gas's forward double shot made another contribution.

In the same group game, Beijing Guoan lost 2:3 at home to Ulsan Hyundai, and returned home with the Brisbane Roar husband and wife in the first round.

In Group F, Ulsan Hyundai and Tokyo FC both have 11 points from 3 wins and 2 draws, and the final round will decide who will finish first in the group and who will finish second.

However, in Group H, which Tokyo FC has been paying attention to, the strange situation has reappeared, Guangzhou Evergrande lost 1:3 at home to Jeonbuk Hyundai, and Kashiwa Suns defeated Briland 1:0 at home, and the situation of the entire Group H has changed again.

Jeonbuk Hyundai, which lost two 1:5 in the first two rounds of the group, relied on the next three consecutive wins to accumulate 9 points, and climbed to the top of the group in one fell swoop, Evergrande and Bai Sun God accumulated 7 points, Evergrande relied on the relationship between victory and defeat to rank in front, while Brieland, who won two consecutive wins in the first two rounds of the group, suffered three consecutive defeats and is currently at the bottom with 6 points.

The situation in Group H is really chaotic, no team has qualified in advance, and no team has been eliminated in advance, and Jeonbuk Hyundai, Kashiwa Sun God and Evergrande all have a chance to win the first place in the group, and the right to qualify for the three teams is still in their hands, as long as they win the last round, they will definitely be able to qualify from the group, so I really don't know who the opponent of the top 16 of Tokyo FC is.

In the last round of Group H, Jeonbuk Hyundai will play at home against Kashiwa Suns, Brilland will play Evergrande at home, and in terms of points, Jeonbuk Hyundai will definitely be able to qualify if they don't lose, while Evergrande and Kashiwa Suns will definitely qualify as long as they win, and Brilland needs to win at the same time Jeonbuk Hyundai does not lose, then they can also qualify.

Jeonbuk Hyundai and Kashiwa Sun God game, Jeonbuk Hyundai seems to have a home advantage, but Jeonbuk Hyundai has lost 1:5 away to Kashiwa Sun God, and it cannot be said that Jeonbuk Hyundai will definitely be able to get a draw at home, Evergrande and Brieland's game, it seems that Evergrande is stronger, but Evergrande has lost Brieland 1:2 at home, this time it is to Thailand away, the result is also unpredictable.

At the same time, what is also related to Lingyou is that in this round of the AFC Champions League, Brazilian foreign player Ricardo Oliveira of the UAE team Abu Dhabi Jazira completed a hat trick, plus his previous three goals, Oliveira's AFC Champions League goals reached six.

Ringer has only one goal in this round, and the current total number of goals in the AFC Champions League is five, with Oliveira surpassing Ringer to rise to the top of the AFC Champions League scorer list. At the same time, Jeonbuk Hyundai's Lee Tong-guk scored twice in the 3-1 victory over Evergrande, and the number of goals also reached 5, and he is currently tied with Ringer for second place in the scorer list.
