Another extremely important thing that will happen this February is the preparation list for the Nehru Gold Cup at the end of March. Because it was followed by the draw for the 1998 World Cup Asian Top 10 on June 1, in a sense, this Gold Cup is a warm-up for the top 10 matches, and the possibility of changing the squad once it is determined is very small. Among all the players present at this meeting, only Lao Fan, Su Maozhen, Li Bing and Li Ming can be 100% sure of being selected for the national team list, of which Lao Fan is the captain of the team.

The Gold Cup event is small, but the teenager knows that the top 10 national football matches led by Qi Wusheng are eliminated, not that the original batch of players is not good, but since there are better options now, why not give the top 10 a double insurance? It would even be nice if the head coach could be adjusted. But Li Boen, who has not been selected for the national team, must not have much say in this matter, after all, the leaders of the national football team are all the bigwigs of each team, and it is not the turn of a seventeen or eighteen little boy to point fingers. Therefore, the problem of the list Li Boen can only have a private in-depth chat with Lao Fan to see if Lao Fan can make the team's lineup more secure.

After the meeting about the trade union, everyone dispersed the next day, after all, it is still the Spring Festival, and everyone is basically accompanying their families after a busy year. Li Byrne asked Lao Fan to talk in detail in his room for an afternoon.

"Brother Fan, I won't say anything about beating around the bush, our national football team must seize the opportunity in the 98 World Cup. And this tournament is especially important for those of you who are in their playing years. You'll be 32 next time, and Asians are definitely past their prime. In addition, if you make it to the World Cup, it will be easier for you to deal with this matter of staying abroad."

After hearing this, Lao Fan patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "You still said that you don't beat around the bush, and you didn't get to the point after saying seven or eight sentences. I think you have an idea about the squad and the coaches, right? It's okay to say something about the team lineup, and it can have some influence, but this coach candidate is really not something that our players can participate in, and the Football Association must have the Football Association to consider. Today let's talk about the list of players, I expect the list this time to be about this, goalkeeper Lao Ou and Jiang Jin, the back line I partner with Heizi, Lao Wei and Mao Yijun are estimated to compete for a place at right back, the left is basically Jihai and Yingzi, the front waist must be Weiguo, the left horse may compete with Shen Si, there is no suspense on the right side should be Li Ming, and the back waist may be Wu Bing. On the front line, Lao Mao, Li Bing, Gen Wei, Yao Xia, Gao Feng, and Hu Yunfeng will all be selected. It's hard to move these candidates, and there are not many players in China who can surpass these players at present."

The young man frowned and thought about it again, and finally made a request to Lao Fan very seriously. That's right, it's not a suggestion, it's a request. It means doing the best you can.

"Brother Fan, I don't need to say it myself, I will definitely be selected with my strength, and the only ones who can surpass me in the central defender position of the national football team are you and Brother Heizi. There is no problem with Jihai on the left, although Yao Xia is calculated according to the striker, but there is a high probability that he will be put on the fullback, if Wu Chengying and Jihai fight for this position, it is really a waste. To be honest, I played with Wu Chengying for half a season, and I know his strength very well, and I think Brother Fan, you must also know it, you have been playing in the Shanghai team for so long after all. In fact, Jihai is put on the right side, Wu Chengying is on the left side, which is the most ideal candidate for the two wings of the back line. Wei Daxia, I don't have to say anything, but my strength really can't keep up. Mao Yijun's words, physical fitness is a big problem, and to be honest, he doesn't have any national brand and competition experience, so it's almost the same as a substitute, so you can consider Zheng Dongqi on the left side, Lao Gu's current proud disciple. You must have seen the performance in the league and the Asian Youth Championship and the South American Club Cup, he definitely dares to fight, and at the same time he can also play left front and even left winger, which is the most suitable substitute for Jihai and Yao Xia. Then the position of the team's back is too bad, Jianlibao's Li Tie is really good, and there is a Sui Dongliang, these two back waists are also easy to put in the current national team. In addition, Zhang Xiaorui of Jianlibao, it's no problem to make a substitute for Brother Guo, the technique and body are a strengthened version, and he has a little experience, and it's still good to be a wonder soldier at a critical time. On the front line, I see that Lao Mao, Brother Shan (Li Bing) and Cai Sheng are brought to the Asian Cup, and the style is a bit repetitive, right? I recommend the last two players, one is Wang Peng, and the other is Jianlibao's Li Jinyu. These two are definitely the core of our forward line in the next World Cup. Nothing else. It's OK for me to play as a substitute for you and Brother Kuroko, and it's okay to play in the back. The sense of position on the side is a little worse, I tried it in South America, and it is definitely not as good as Jihai and Dongqi."

The young man said, Lao Fan counted something with his fingers, and kept muttering in his mouth, and when Li Boen finished speaking, Lao Fan pondered for a while, and then said: "Well, except for a few young players in Jianlibao that I am not familiar with, I also agree with what you said. I did the math, the people you mentioned are Zheng Dongqi, Sui Dongliang, Zhang Xiaorui, Li Tie, Li Jinyu, Wang Peng, well, and yourself. It is suggested that the replacement is Lao Wei, Liu Jun, Wu Bing, Ma Er, Cai Sheng, Gao Feng, Hu Yunfeng. Almost, it shouldn't be a big problem, Liu Jun and Wu Bing and Lao Wei can talk about it, the rest is not easy to say, I can only say try it, don't get your hopes up first."

After saying that, both of them fell silent, after all, this matter is indeed very difficult to operate. You can say that people's strength is not good, but the candidate is decided by the coach, everyone has a heart to play for the country, and they are also players, and being selected for the national football team is also a kind of recognition, and it is difficult to make others give up easily!

Suddenly, Li Boen's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Brother Fan, I have an idea!" We can arrange two training matches or open matches, and I will play with the main squad in the Asian Cup. At that time, some players who are unwilling to give up their positions can create some public opinion pressure, and their level is not as good as others and they still occupy the position, and they can't say anything at that time, not to mention that the fans will see it."

General Fan covered his face and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "You have offended people..."

Li Bourne smiled: "I don't rely on others to eat, and the original intention is also to select the most suitable players, since the head coach has no intention of making an open selection, then let's create opportunities for ourselves?" In fact, to put it mildly, if the coaching level is enough, hehe, I don't believe he will select this lineup list. As long as I can make it to the World Cup, I'm not afraid of having a bad reputation, anyway, I'm dedicated to the national team. I'll give you a thorough explanation, Brother Fan, in my opinion, our union is rushing to take over the Football Association in the future. It is long overdue for the layman to lead the insider, and the political work can continue to be left to them, but I think the farther away from the layman is the better away from the specific team affairs."

Lao Fan was startled and quickly interrupted Li Boen: "Hurry up and stop!" The more you talk about it, the farther it goes, let's do it little by little, isn't it? I've seen it, the real big guy of the national team is sitting right in front of me. Okay, okay, just do what you say!"

Li Byrne was in a good mood and said with a smile: "That's okay, I'll let the company contact the Football Association today, and arrange two games this month, and I have to leave time for public opinion to ferment." Brother Fan, Brother Wei Daxia, Brother Wu, please leave it to you."

Lao Fan reluctantly agreed.

As the two said, there is no way to interfere with the selection of the head coach, or there is definitely no way to influence it if it is not illegal, after all, the teenager will definitely not do anything to bribe for this matter. Then we have to make sure that we have to be the strongest candidate in the country at present, and your head coach will not choose, we really dare to do it for you.
