Chapter 389: Trinidad and Tobago World Junior Tournament

Attentive friends may have noticed Deng Kai's inactivity in the summer transfer window.

But the clues have already explained his whereabouts.

This summer, Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo responded to the call-up of the Portuguese Football Federation and led Portugal Under-16s to the World Junior Championship in Trinidad and Tobago.

Before the competition, there was also a special training camp.

Most of the U16 players are old friends of Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo, and it is also where the legend began.

This has also led to an explosion of attention at this World Junior Championships.

Because these are two of Europe's top players!

Many Sporting Lisbon fans are actually against Deng Kai and Ronaldo playing this kind of "meaningless" game.

Yes, for normal fifteen or sixteen-year-old players, the European Junior Championship and the World Junior Championship are definitely the best stages.

In the first year or two, the European Youth Championships and the World Youth Championships are also the best stages.

However, Deng Kai and Ronaldo are not normal.

When they participated in the European Junior Championship last year, the honor and exposure of the competition were still blessed for them.

But this year, let alone the World Junior Championships, even the World Youth Championships will not bring them any benefits.

Because the attention they have received and the honors they have won have surpassed the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships themselves.

Including Ronaldo himself, under the advice of professionals, he plans to refuse the call-up and have a good rest for a summer.

Last season, the team fought on the third line, and next season the team is likely to fight on the third line, and the body of adult players can't stand it, let alone a minor like Ronaldo?

Don't forget, it's only been a year and a half since Ronaldo's heart surgery, and he has to submit his physical data to the medical institution once a month to confirm his physical condition.

But under Deng Kai's "bitter persuasion", Ronaldo still participated in this World Junior Championships.

"If you don't participate, then I will have one more championship title than you!"

In fact, there are many reasons why Deng Kai participated in this event.

The requirements of the "Champion Reaper" are one of them.

Helping Cristiano Ronaldo win a few more titles he hasn't won is also the goal.

Jiang Yunzhu's request was the third reason.

This point starts with the fact that China U16 also entered the World Junior Championships in Trinidad and Tobago.

In order to allow Chinese players to enter the field of vision of European football practitioners as much as possible, the Chinese national junior team has been preparing for a long time for this World Junior Championship.

But with the news that Deng Kai and Ronaldo will not participate in this event, the World Junior Championships even ushered in a suspension crisis.

More than 50 said that if there were no Deng Kai and Ronaldo, they would withdraw from the broadcast of this event.

More than six sponsors are considering opting out.

The Chinese team is not able to enter the World Junior Championships every time.

Such a good opportunity can't just be lost in vain.

Therefore, Jiang Yunzhu contacted Deng Kai, hoping that Deng Kai would participate in the competition and fill the attention of this World Junior Championships.

Faced with Jiang Yunzhu's request, Deng Kai told her bluntly: "Chinese football is hopeless." ”

Jiang Yunzhu didn't believe it: "How come?" There is a good chance that we will make it to the World Cup this time! ”

Deng Kai: "And then I can't score a single goal...... This is not a football business at all, there are too many problems in domestic football to be saved. ”

Jiang Yunzhu: "I know there are many problems, but we can change them, we can treat them, and we can seek medical treatment where there is a problem." ”

Deng Kai: "You think there are a lot of problems now?" I can tell you responsibly that in 10 or 20 years, the problem will only get worse than it is now. Your path will not work. ”

Jiang Yunzhu was a little angry and a little helpless.

Because of her family background, she knows more about domestic football than ordinary people, far more than the level of competition, the impact of turf and so on.

Jiang Yunzhu: "Then what path do you have?" ”

Deng Kai: "That's true." But...... It's up to you to get enough people......"

Then Deng Kai simply revealed his plan to Jiang Yunzhu a little bit.

Jiang Yunzhu was directly stunned.

By the time she reacted, Deng Kai had hung up the phone for several minutes.

Jiang Yunzhu shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Solution...... Scatter...... How is this possible...... Disband...... Is this really possible...... Disbanded, really going to be disbanded...... Can we save domestic football? ”

But Deng Kai on the other end of the phone also didn't expect that Jiang Yunzhu would really be able to invite enough people.

However, Deng Kai also needs to cooperate.

So Deng Kai confirmed that he would attend this year, oh no, it was to participate in this World Junior Championships, and held down part of the news within Sporting Lisbon about promoting youth team players into the first team.

……

At the same time, the relevant news about this World Junior Championships in China has been overwhelming.

"Heavy! Chinese king Deng Kai is sure to participate in this World Junior Championships! European bronze boot Cristiano Ronaldo will also play! 》

"This is the highest level of players ever participating in the World Junior Championships!" 》

"It's a pity! The national junior team failed to be placed in the same group as Portugal and experienced the power of the strongest junior team! 》

"The qualifying situation is very good! The opponents of the national junior team are Finland, Colombia, and Mexico! 》

"The national junior team roster is newly released! Feng Xiaoting and Dong Fangzhuo, two young players of the Shide Club, were fortunate to be selected, but they may not have a chance to play if they are in the back! 》

"A player's parents broke the news that it costs at least 100,000 yuan to enter the national junior team? Foot xie replied: False report! There is no such big deal! 》

"Sports Channel Special: China and Deng Kai at the World Junior Championships in Trinidad and Tobago!" 》

All kinds of news are boiling, and there are even rumors that there are high-level leaders who are also very concerned about this World Junior Championships, and may even go to watch individual games in a low-key manner.

This makes the domestic football association work harder to block some "untrue" information that is "harmful to football" while mustering up motivation to do a good job in game services.

However, God is not beautiful.

Less than 24 hours after the domestic World Junior Championship squad was announced, Sporting Lisbon updated the relegation and relegation information of some players, which attracted the attention of domestic fans.

Among them, Hao Junmin, Yu Shihao, Shao Jiawei, and Chen Tao jumped from Sporting Lisbon U17 to U19.

And Wu Xudong and Veloso were directly promoted to the first team and will start competing in the Portuguese Super League next season.

The reason why the domestic media pays attention to these names is because the age of these players is in line with this World Junior Championship.

Veloso was named in Portugal's squad for the World Junior Championship and, if nothing else, was the team's starter.

Wu Xudong, who was at the same level as Veloso, was defeated in China.

The other four equally outstanding Sporting Lisbon youngsters also missed the domestic squad.

This raises doubts about the level of Sporting Lisbon.

What kind of bullshit club are you?

You can't even be a first-team player in our domestic World Junior Championship player squad, okay!

Sporting Lisbon: Ahem, we're not a big club either, so let's not talk about the old accolades. This past season, we were just a triumph winner of the UEFA Cup, the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese Cup.

In terms of youth training, in the past three years, there have been echelon teams that have won the domestic championship every year, and Deng Kai also won the Youth Champions League in that year.

Oh, that's right.

So since there is no problem with the strength of Sporting Lisbon, who do you say has the problem?

For a time, the domestic media and fans kept questioning the national junior team.

But the footshoes never responded to this.
