The refreshing spring breeze in April touched Ou Chuliang's face, as gentle as a lover. Ou Chuliang stood in front of the goal holding a black and white ball, staring at Qi Wusheng in the distance.

After chatting with Zheng Zhi for most of the day at noon, I finally felt a strong fluctuation in my heart.

At the age of 32, I feel a little ashamed to discuss studying abroad and overestimate myself?

But Zheng Zhi said so confidently that it makes people full of hope.

How to open your mouth?

If you want to go out, you must nod Qi Wusheng and need his support. If he says no, then let it go. A 32-year-old mature man should not make irrational decisions. The safest and most realistic choice to retire as the main player in Yunnan Hongta is the safest and most realistic choice. Isn’t it good to live quietly in China with Weitao and Xueqing?

Ou Chuliang has the low-key nature of Guangdong people. He is usually taciturn and is mostly alone in the team. Occasionally he also jokes with others, but he always gives people a strong sense of distance, which is deterrent. However, in the "big sauce jar" of Chinese football, he is a smart person recognized by old journalists and an alternative player with high quality and cultivation.

He put down the ball, took off his gloves, revealing his snow-white and slender fingers, wearing gloves for at least six hours a day, which made his hands as tender as babies, and looked better than many women's hands.

"Guide Qi,"

He still said hello to Qi Wusheng.

"Little Ou,"

"I came so early in the afternoon and I was sweating profusely." Qi Wusheng nodded kindly, looked at Ou Chuliang seriously, and then comforted him:

"It's not easy, I finally returned to the main position."

"Everyone says you're old, but I think your technology can stay at its peak for at least two years."

"You're right to maintain high-intensity training now. As long as I'm in the Red Tower for a day, you'll be the starting goalkeeper for one day. The stable environment and playing time can help you maintain a good state, so that you will always stay in the main position in the national team.

"Thank you, Director Qi for your approval." Ou Chuliang smiled slightly, but he didn't know how to speak in his heart. After Qi Wusheng said this, he felt that talking about going abroad with him now would definitely make him angry.

Unexpectedly, Qi Wusheng continued to say: "But,"

"Anqi's performance has been so eye-catching recently."

"He is a huge threat."

"The national team is now being renewed. You and Jiang Jun are both older, so there is a high probability that Anqi will come up."

After saying this, Qu Chuliang's heart sank a lot again.

Yes, An Qi is eyeing her behind. Although Jiang Jun was sent off, it doesn’t mean she is firmly on Diaoyutai. Maybe An Qi will also win the starter in the next game?

In recent years, he has become a substitute in the national team. He has been the second goalkeeper for many years. If An Qi climbs up again and Jiang Jun returns, he may become the third goalkeeper.

Who likes to sit on the bench all the time?

He likes a quote from an American movie called "The Strongman" - we may not be friends, but we must respect each other.

Yes, he respects the coach's choice.

But it doesn't mean he doesn't want to be the main force.

At this moment, Zheng Zhi's voice echoed in his ears.

"Playing football in Perugia, you can also become the main force of the national team, and you can improve your goalkeeping skills and make you better. In China, your level is just like this. What's also fatal is that there are too few games, which is not the same magnitude as Europe."

"In the end, don't you really want to experience it in Europe? I regret it for two years after being a soldier, and I regret it for a lifetime if I don't join the soldier. This principle is the same for football."

"You are not old, you are only 32 years old. This is a golden age for goalkeepers. The main players of any wealthy European club are basically this age."

...

"Guide Qi,"

"If a Serie A team wants me to play as the main player, do you think I should go?"

He could only ask tentatively.

"How can there be such a good thing?"

"If you want to play the main player, you can play the main player? In Europe, it depends on your ability. Ma Mingyu saw it or not, and he didn't even have a chance to play. So don't think that going abroad is simple, it's deep," Qi Wusheng immediately denied this idea, "How old are you? There are only a few years left. Do you run out and squander? If you are just a substitute, then you can't even get into the national team."

"No, where did you get the news? Why didn't I hear the club say it?"

Qi Wusheng felt it was strange, and he waved his old face and looked at Ou Chuliang solemnly. What the club didn’t know, how could the players know first? Isn’t this contrary to the transfer rules of international football?

"That's the case..." Ou Chuliang did not hide Qi Wusheng and quickly told everything that happened today. Even if it was a transfer, it was a matter of this summer, and there were still several months left.

"Zheng Zhi said..."

"Wu Di said..."

He pulled Zheng Zhi and Wu Di out, and the meaning was what they said, not what he meant...

After listening carefully, Qi Wusheng nodded at all.

"If Zheng Zhi was in contact with his agent, this matter would be reliable. But if it was the same as Ma Mingyu, then don't think about it, there is no chance."

"You can play the game with peace of mind first, and let's talk about it when summer comes."

"If there is such an opportunity, I think everyone will support you. Zheng Zhi is right. The national team still needs a better goalkeeper. I also support this, and the club should also support it."

Fortunately, it was okay. Ou Chuliang let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. Guidance Qi was not as tough as he thought.

-------------------------------------

5 days.

Michelle, president of the International Football Federation, arrived in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, to attend the Federation Cup draw ceremony.

The lottery ceremony was held on Jeju Island in southeastern Seoul. Since the 2002 World Cup lottery ceremony was also held here, the Federation Cup lottery ceremony was regarded as a preview of the World Cup lottery ceremony.

The International Football Federation Cup will be held from May 30 to June 10. It will be held in six cities including Daegu, Suwon, Ulsan, and Japan's Ibaraki, Niigata, and Yokohama. This is a preview held by South Korea and Japan in preparation for the 2002 World Cup football match. The opening match will be held in Daegu, South Korea, and the final will be held in Yokohama, Japan.

At that time, eight football teams including Mexico, Brazil, France, South Korea, Japan, Cameroon, Australia and China will participate in this Federation Cup.

The results of the group draw, France, South Korea, Mexico and Australia were divided into the first group, Brazil, Cameroon, Japan and China were divided into the second group. Representatives of countries participating in the draw promised at the press conference that day that the strongest lineup would be sent to participate. They said that it was only one year before the 2002 World Cup, and this Intercontinental Cup was a good opportunity for detectives to have the strength of various countries.

As soon as the draw result came out, the Korean media jumped around. Seoul Sports News said that the goal of the South Korean team is to strive to reach the semi-finals in this game. South Korean team head coach Hiddink said that it is a blessing to play against the world's strong teams, and the South Korean team will prepare for it more.

Going to the semi-finals?

Koreans have too strong self-confidence. They may not be able to beat France, Mexico, or even Australia in the same group.

Japan and China in the same group have become much more low-key.

Although they all hope to enter the semi-finals, they are not as rampant as South Korea. African champion Cameroon is not a soft persimmon. Japan and China compete in the Asian Cup to prove that the two teams are actually equal, and it is not certain who wins and who loses.

Of course, in China, the media also believe that this game is a good opportunity to test the Chinese team's real victory.

Just after the Federation Cup, the Chinese team will play in the top ten Asian Cup. The Federation Cup is an early test. Since each team will have the strongest lineup, the Chinese team will naturally recall Zheng Zhi, and then it will be the strongest Chinese team.

Of course, if the Chinese team only has the star Zheng Zhi, it would be too low for the Chinese team. Although they did not play well in the first stage of the World Cup qualifiers, from a personal point of view, European players performing in the club is really not inferior.

Fan Zhiyi's Liverpool reached the semi-finals of the League Cup. He has always been the main force. Maybe he can win the League Cup championship with Irving and Gerald.

Sun Jihai also played for Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals and played well, but Arsenal failed to win, so it is estimated that the second leg will be in danger.

Even in the German Second Division, the Chinese are also highlighted. In the 28th round of the German Second Division, Xie Hui scored the only goal in three minutes before the end of the game, helping Aachen to defeat Ulm, the second-to-last at home 1:0. Currently, Aachen is ranked 11th with 39 points. Although the team ranks average, Xie Hui, who has been in excellent form recently, has scored 5 goals in the last four rounds of games, with a total of 14 goals. Currently, Cameroon striker Japa of Reutlingen is tied for the top scorer list.

So, the current Chinese team is actually very strong...

-------------------------------------

Unexpectedly, Ronaldo also talked about the Federation Cup on the training ground.

"Zheng,"

"We're finally going to be opponents."

"But you definitely can't beat us. You should find a way to kill Mexico and Japan and get second in the group."

"But I don't think you have any chance after qualifying. You will definitely encounter France, because France is too strong."

Ronaldo is not optimistic about the prospects of China and Zheng Zhi. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. With France and Brazil, it is unlikely that other teams will want to make mistakes. The final will be a showdown between France and Brazil. Ronaldo is eager for the arrival of this showdown. He wants to avenge his teammates in 1998.

Zheng Zhi smiled and also hit Ronaldo.

"I am very proud, the semi-finals are better than the runner-up. I think after you meet France, you will still fail. Judging from the current situation, Brazil still cannot beat France unless you tie up Zidane."

Ronaldo's face sank, "Is it hair?"

"This time we won't lose to them anymore, I swear, I will definitely help the team win the French team."

"Qidan?"

"We'll keep an eye on him!"

"I will shoot Badz's goal into a hornet's nest!"

However, Spinach Company is not optimistic about Brazil.

As soon as the draw came out, the odds for the Federation Cup won the championship were the first, and the titles of the World Cup and European Cup made the French team the biggest favorite. Although the Brazilian team is also very strong, they can only rank second.

"Brother, it's useless to just say it. You have to prove it with your actions. France plays very hard, and the style of the game is to restrain you. The French team, who focuses on 90 minutes, is much more dangerous than you."

"Brazil players often have problems when they encounter teams with strong skills and tactics."

"France is definitely a piece of your heart. If you cross them, maybe you will win the future."
