"China is a beautiful country, and the city of Wuhan is also great. The fans are very enthusiastic. The stands are almost full. I can hear their cheers after every goal. I enjoy the atmosphere of the game."

At the post-match press conference, Suarez, who only played half the game and won the best player, bared his teeth and said:

"I was very excited about this game because I always thought that the Chinese team was very strong. They have already achieved excellent results in all competitions this year, especially in the friendly matches, they tied Paraguay and defeated Leverkusen, so I prepared very seriously and prepared for a tough battle."

"I don't know anything about Chinese football, because among my club teammates, there is a Chinese player. I talked to him and knew his strength very well. When training in the team, his defense caused me a lot of headaches and countless Ajax opponents. But such an excellent player can't even enter the national team's roster, so I'm very confused..."

He spread his hands and looked at the Chinese reporters all over the place with a troubled expression: "Dear friend, can you tell me?"

"Oh, by the way," he added, "Today I also learned a Chinese dialect, pig blood...shabi..." The Uruguayan barely sent out these four syllables, "The fans in the stands are shouting this. Are you cheering for the Chinese team?"

"Even if they were eight goals behind, the fans still cheered for their team loudly. This spirit is so touching!"

-

"It's a pity that you didn't see my wonderful performance in China's fight against all the heroes!"

Su Xiaoya, who returned to Amsterdam the next day, immediately took special credit to Longshu:

"Those Chinese journalists were blushed and speechless when I asked them!"

"Okay, okay, how can a reporter have integrity?"

Long Shute smiled and patted his back, and said sincerely:

"Seriously, I have to thank you, Louis, but...will this have a bad impact on you?"

"What are you afraid of?" Suarez looked indifferent, "In South America, we have always directly criticized the bureaucrats of the Football Association, although... it's useless."

Long Shu was silly laughing.

"By the way, what does pig blood shabi mean?" It seems that the Uruguayan striker still has not received the answer in China.

The Chinese teammate shrugged: "…that's what it means."

-

"Eight goals! Eight slaps!"

"The so-called King of Friendship Games is so vulnerable in the face of reality!"

“Another disgusting 'Works Invincible' myth?"

"Chinese football can only rely on false victory to cover up its shame?"

"I would rather play as a guest midfielder with a winger than use China's best midfielder!"

"Archive the Football Association Headquarters! Who is still lawless when the storm is so fierce?!"

"Ten Questions about Chinese Football! Who rejected Long Shute?"

...

As a "civilian association" with full control of the government, the Football Association is definitely the most susceptible to being scolded.

Not only the ordinary people who are eating melons, but even the print media, who are usually relatively cautious, can open fire at them without any scruples.

The Football Association's general countermeasures are to ignore these artillery fires. Anyway, the public opinion situation will not have a copper impact on their future.

Their eyes won't pay too much attention to things that are useless to them, and their ears will only hear voices from the upper level.

But now, they seem to be unable to sit still.

Because there is a senior leader they must face to pay attention to football.

They have to act.

-

Domestic public opinion is still fermenting, while the Football Association is holding special meetings to study countermeasures.

It's already November.

November 3.

"4-0! Goaler, Ajax No. 8, long...shute!"

The name of Dragons floats above the Amsterdam Arena.

“captain-long!”

In the stands, more than 40,000 red and white fans cooperated with the voice of the home broadcaster and shouted the name of the team's deputy captain.

Amid their shouts, Long Shute patted the team logo on the front of his left chest with force, waved at the audience, and then received stronger cheers.

Suarez, who had been replaced, pouted unhappily: "I am the captain!"

"One assist, one goal, Ajax's No. 8 is perfect in this game!"

Dutch TV's commentator De Kur has become a fan of Longshute without realizing it:

"Since the ninth round of the league, Long Shute has participated in the goal in six consecutive games. This young player who was still dedicated to full-time defense last season was shockingly improving! Van Basten has really gotten lucky. He met such an outstanding newcomer at the lowest point. Long Shute has almost saved the coach's coaching career alone!"

Of course, Dekur did not forget his identity, and he hacked Van Basten...

Although Long Shute has not achieved Suarez's hot foot feeling last season in the past half month, as a midfielder, contributing consecutive goals or assists is already an excellent enough result.

On October 16, Ajax defeated Breda 3-0 and scored a goal.

On the 19th, he challenged his third opponent in the Champions League group stage away. Ajax scored two goals in a row to complete the reversal, and he assisted Hamdavi, who was the final winner.

On the 24th, Ajax rushed to another away game without stopping, defeating the SBV elite 2-1 with the same score, and he once again contributed his assists.

On the 27th, Ajax, who finally returned to home, faced Helenfin. With most of his teammates not being able to provide physical fitness and Van Basten had to send a rotation lineup, Long Shute stepped forward and helped the team continue to lead the standings with one pass and one shot.

On the 30th, Ajax, who returned from the main players, swept Hercules 6-1, and Long Shute once again added icing on the cake and contributed a goal.

On November 3, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Ajax, who was at home, won four goals. Ausselle suffered the fourth defeat of the Champions League this season at the Amsterdam Arena. All the players were in a daze. Long Shute took the opportunity to score another goal.

Before he knew it, he has scored 7 league goals and assists this season, plus the Champions League, Super Cup, and Dutch Cup, with a total of 10 goals, second only to Hamdavi and Suarez in the Ajax team's scorer list.

The continuous goals and assists gradually made him leave the "pure defensive midfielder" in people's impression. In addition, he beat Real Madrid and the remaining power to provoke Ibrahimovic was still there. Long Shute was unexpectedly selected into the 40-man roster of the 2010 European Golden Boy Awards in November.

Long Shute, who had never paid attention to this award, became a little interested, but he only looked at the rules and competitors and knew that he would definitely have no chance, and he would not win this award 100% in his life.

The European Golden Boy Award only selects talented young players under the age of 21. There are many famous young talents on the 2010 list.

Boyan of Barcelona, ​​Tony Kroos of Bayern Munich, Contento, Gotze of Dortmund, Rafael of Manchester United, Macheda, Babe, Balotelli of Manchester City, Willsheer of Arsenal, Coutinho of Inter Milan, De Gea of ​​Atletico Madrid, Douglas Costa of Donetsk miners, J-Rodriguez of Porto, Hazard of Lille, and Lyon core Pjanic who once played against Longshute, and even Luke Dejön of Twente, as well as Longshute's teammates. Danish genius Eriksen who has just been promoted to the first team this season...

Many fans would not even pay attention to the news that the roster of 40 people was shortlisted, but at least in Amsterdam, the local media hyped it up for two days.

They also have two players shortlisted for the Golden Boy Award, second only to Manchester United, who were selected by three! They are standing shoulder to shoulder with Bayern Munich, who were selected by two!

As for China, thousands of miles away, it was unceremonious to translate the entire report of the Amsterdam Post, and then copied and pasted Longshute's highlights, and then sprayed a few professional comments about the Football Association's blind eye. A full-page report "Longshute was shortlisted for the European Golden Boy Award, so the golden boy is hard to get into the Football Association's legal eyes?" was released.

The scene of Long Shute fighting against Real Madrid's defense line and fighting against Ibrahimovic one-on-one has further aroused the public's dissatisfaction with the Football Association.

The criticism of the melon-eating crowd and the criticism of the media are tantamount to the breeze blowing on the bureaucracy, but a call from the upper-level leaders is enough to make these bureaucrats tremble.

When Ajax swept Aussel 4-0 and locked a qualifying spot two rounds in advance, a name that he had not been in contact with for a long time appeared on Long Shute's mobile phone screen.

"Xiaolong, I am Li Bing, do you still remember me?" A slightly long-lasting voice came from the phone.

Long Shute laughed: "Uncle Li, look at what you said, can I forget you? I have always kept your number, otherwise I wouldn't answer the long-distance call at all, it would be too expensive..."

"Hahaha, thank you," Li Bing also laughed, "Little Dragon, you are a smart baby. You won't know what I mean by calling you, right?"

"They asked you to be a middleman? Let's try my words?"

"...Yes, this matter has a great impact. Even some leaders know that the Football Association is under a lot of pressure," Li Bing's voice was very heavy. "I have always had a good relationship with Gao Hongbo. He actually has a high opinion of you. I heard that he met you in the first half of the year?"

"I've seen it, and I've talked for a while," Long Shute answered him casually, "It's been more than half a year in a flash."

Li Bing carefully considered the words and said one by one: "He has difficulties. Although the team leader has changed, it is not his own decision for whom he wants to recruit..."

"I probably know one thing, so let's talk more directly," Long Shute interrupted the slow pace of communication. He also charged a fee for answering long-distance calls in the Netherlands. "I want to know what the Football Association's discussion is? Or... do they accept the things I talked with Director Gao before?"

"..." The other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and finally another voice sounded, "It's basically acceptable. The only point is that the venue of the competition is unlikely to be arranged in Europe, because it requires a lot of things to be taken into account, but they promise that they will definitely communicate with you a month in advance and will not force you to participate in informal competitions."

Long Shute also remained silent for a moment: "Okay, I understand, Uncle Li, do I need to do?"

"Little Dragon, as a veteran, I want to remind you a few words," Li Bing, who had completed the main task, changed his tone, "You must know the principle of shooting a bird with a gun. Some people may not help you, but it is still easy for them to smear you. However, the situation is under great pressure now, so they dare not mess around. You are venturing outside alone, especially paying attention to protecting yourself."

"Thank you for your reminder, I will be more careful..." Long Shute muttered, "Probably."

But he had noticed that he, who had followed Ibrahimovic on a wrong path recently, seemed to be unable to turn back...

"On the 17th of this month, the national team's game was changed to Amsterdam. The opponent was the Dutch national team, but it might be the second team..." Li Bing hesitated for a moment, "Old Gao wants to call you..."

"You just said you would notify me a month in advance. Now you have a cold gun. It's not righteous, Uncle Li," Long Shute laughed again, "Who are we here?"

Li Bing quickly replied: "All are absolute main players, the Asian Cup is coming soon, and the Chinese Super League is over. They will make final preparations in more than a month."

"Asian Cup?" Long Shute's eyes turned, and the system had already given the schedule for the Asian Cup.

The 2011 Asian Cup...is it actually arranged two months later, in the big winter?

Oh, if I had known, I would have talked about it after they were defeated in the Asian Cup...

Wouldn't you take the blame now?

Note:

No matter what, in the final analysis, Long Ritian can only choose his own motherland.
