The friendly match between the Chinese team and the French team ended, but the result was quite satisfactory for Chinese fans. They finally scored 4:6 against the world champion. Although they lost the game, the game was still very exciting. The Chinese team's defeat was reasonable, but the content of the game was unexpected.

The Chinese team disbanded in Paris and will gather in Europe next month to continue playing the warm-up match. At that time, they will challenge the World Cup runner-up Croatia team!

Situ Yunbing turned down some old friends' dinners that he wanted to reminisce about, and stayed in Paris for two more days before returning to China with his family.

Han Yang negotiated with several European clubs to sell jerseys on behalf of the agency. As soon as one month later, the authentic jerseys of these players will be sold in the stores across the country.

After returning to China, Situ Yunbing continued his previous work and followed the growth of all international players. At the same time, he also needed some domestic events to attend.

The second National Youth Football League opened in Hangzhou. Situ Yunbing was unable to get out because he was still coaching Liverpool last year. On the opening day of this competition, he and the entire leadership of the Chinese Football Association attended the opening ceremony.

Last year's championship came from the Xinghuo Jingshen team in the Southeast Division, and is naturally a participating team formed by the Xinghuo Youth Football Training School.

At 10 a.m. on the opening ceremony, Situ Yunbing sat on the representative of the organizer to take over the championship trophy they won last year from the captain of the Xinghuo Jingshen team. There were 30,000 spectators at the scene, as well as the defending champion Xinghuo Jingshen team and the Chinese National Youth Team. The audience cheered for Situ Yunbing, and the players looked up at Situ Yunbing's figure on the rostrum and looked full of admiration.

Situ Yunbing announced in public that the second National Youth Football League officially opened!

There was a thunderous cheer on the scene.

The last champion then played against the Chinese National Youth Team, playing a game similar to the "Super Cup".

Situ Yunbing was also communicating with the leaders of the Football Association next to him while watching the battle. Everyone believed that the football level of Chinese teenagers has shown a gratifying momentum of rapid progress in the past two years.

If the first two years are the top geniuses, these two years will be popularized by the whole nation!

It is an increase in overall level and a symbol of the healthy and vigorous development of football in China.

This game was not only broadcast live on the Internet, but also some local sports stations also provided support for live broadcast.

The overall level of the National Youth Team is still stronger than that of a local team, but the performance of the Star Fire Jingshen Team is still remarkable, and the two teams will sometimes play hard to distinguish.

In the end, the National Youth Team won the game with a score of 3:1.

Next, the eight major national competition areas will be fully launched. After competing for the championship and runner-up of the competition, 16 teams will start the knockout match in the fall to compete for the championship!

Xinghuo Sports is more efficient than Situ Yunbing expected. Just in April, on April 6, 100 cities across the country launched new jersey sales at the same time!

For a time, the players' jerseys of Chinese international players who played for European clubs became a product that fans rush to buy in mainland China, and all jerseys were sold at 299.

It only took 5 hours that day, and more than 600 stores were announced to be sold out!

Total sales reached 5 million pieces!

Among them, there are many large players who want to resell and purchase tens of thousands of pieces at one time!

Many fanatical fans not only buy multiple items to collect, but also buy them for their families!

European clubs immediately tasted the sweetness. They just need to wait for the settlement cycle to arrive, and Spark Sports will transfer the share to them.

Situ Yunbing's life rhythm is carried out step by step, and he regularly accompanied Siglide to the prenatal examination, sent Situ Jin to kindergarten, and accompanied Situ Yi at home. He lived a fulfilling life every day.

Seeing that the FIFA match day in April is coming, Situ Yunbing is preparing to set off for Zagreb, Croatia.

At this time, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association called him.

"The South American Football Association hopes to invite the Chinese team to participate in this summer's Copa America. Will the Chinese team go?"

Situ Yunbing was quite surprised and asked back on the phone: "Has the Copa America confirmed that the Japanese team and Qatar will go to Asia?"

The Copa America finalized the lottery group in early January this year. The South American Football Association invited the Chinese team more than a year ago, but the Chinese team was not interested in participating in the Copa America at that time. After all, this involves all aspects of relationships that require coordination.

Are players willing to sacrifice their holidays to play the Copa America?

Moreover, the biggest headache for the Chinese Football Association at that time was the issue of the new coach after Alonzo led the team to play the World Cup, and he didn't have time to deal with the South American Football Association.

After Situ Yunbing took office, the South American Football Association did not come to ask again, after all, Qatar had been invited.

"Now the South American Football Association is playing hooligans, and I ask them the same question, but they say that as long as the Chinese team is willing to participate in the competition, they can use the Qatar naturalized players issue to get them out."

After hearing this, Situ Yunbing felt that it was as dark as a crow in the world!

The reason why the South American Football Association wants to get the Chinese team to participate is simple: money!

Chinese capital has been a bit "rampant" in recent years and has sponsored South American football!

Moreover, in terms of viewership, China's football craze has not cooled down in the past two years. In addition, with Situ Yunbing, a big-name coach, the Chinese team will definitely be more attractive and influential than Qatar being invited to participate in the battle!

Situ Yunbing asked a question.

"Will the AFC be willing? The Chinese team is the Asian Cup champion. If they are beaten to the Americas Cup, will the AFC be shameless?"

"The AFC can't control it. Besides, the Japanese team has gone, so there is no reason to stop the Chinese team from participating in the competition."

Situ Yunbing pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it for a day."

After hanging up the phone, Situ Yunbing called every Chinese international in the next 24 hours and asked if they wanted to play in the Americas Cup.

The Copa America is definitely higher than the Asian Cup, and there is no doubt that this is the case.

Moreover, although playing in major competitions may not help the Chinese team improve their skills, they can eventually hone their mentality and gain insight.

Almost all the Chinese players said there was no problem. After all, most of them were young people, and now they also wanted to participate in more competitions to prove their strength.

Situ Yunbing had an internal communication with his coaching team again. Everyone was worried that the Chinese team played the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year and went to the Americas Cup again in the middle of the year. Can the players' physical condition be overcome?

If the player is useless, it will be worth the loss.

This was also the initial concern of Situ Yunbing, but everyone also said that participating in the Copa America will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

Even if I only played three games in the group stage and finally lost a crushing defeat, even the atmosphere of the competition is a rare experience!

After repeated weighing, Situ Yunbing asked the Chinese Football Association to agree to the invitation of the South American Football Association to participate in the Copa America!

When Situ Yunbing set out for Zagreb, Croatia, the South American Football Association officially announced that the Chinese team was invited to replace Qatar in the Copa America!

The explanation given by the South American Football Association is that Qatar's illegal use of players in the Asian Cup did not give a reasonable explanation, and they are disappointed with the AFC.

Anyway, I was shameless and I just threw the blame to the Asian Football Federation!

Indeed, after the Chinese team defeated Qatar and won the Asian Cup championship, the AFC only warned Qatar and did not make any substantial punishment. As the popularity of the Asian Cup dissipated, the UAE's accusation was left unresolved.

If this kind of thing was placed in South America, I'm afraid it would have a similar ending, but now the South American Football Association is accusing the AFC.

Qatar is so angry!

Whether they invest in European football clubs or bid for the World Cup in recent years, their purpose is nothing more than to enhance international fame. They are also very concerned about going to the Copa America this time, but now the South American Football Association has turned against each other and made them feel humiliated!

The Qatar Football Association issued a long article to denounce the South American Football Association, but almost no outside media would take the team on Qatar's side. After all, they had lost their morality in using players in violation of regulations.

The Chinese Football Association also issued a notice stating that it would accept the invitation from the South American Football Association to go to the Americas Cup!

Chinese fans are a little dizzy!

How long has this Asian Cup lasted?

Is the Chinese team going to play in the Copa America?

When did the Chinese team get so busy?

However, the fans are still quite excited. In summer, you can sit at home, blow the air conditioner, drink beer, and watch the performance of the Chinese team in the Americas Cup!

The Copa America was grouped at the beginning of the year. Qatar is in Argentina, Colombia, and Paraguay. Now that the Chinese team has replaced Qatar, fans are looking forward to the match between China and Argentina!

I just don’t know if Messi will play for Argentina!

Situ Yunbing led his team to prepare for the friendly match in Zagreb. At the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked him about the Chinese team's trip to the Americas Cup.

Situ Yunbing said frankly: "This matter is very sudden. I didn't make a decision at the beginning. I made a decision after communicating with the coaches and players of the team and understanding everyone's opinions and ideas.

We believe that participating in the Copa America will increase the team's consumption. Maybe we will not appear in the Copa America at its best, but participating in such an intercontinental competition will bring valuable experience to the Chinese team.

So we cherish this opportunity and strive to achieve a good result in the Copa America.”

Regarding Qatar's dissatisfaction, Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "I have said more than once that I don't want to participate in football politics. What will happen to Qatar has nothing to do with me. We are the invited party, not we have to participate in the Copa America."

As for a reporter asking Situ Yunbing whether he was worried about Qatar's revenge, for example, the World Cup will be held in Qatar three and a half years later, Qatar, as the organizer, will definitely have the conditions and ability to cause trouble for the Chinese team.

Situ Yunbing just smiled and shook his head and said, "The host mainly has the host's mind and measure. Qatar is going to hold a successful World Cup, not a World Cup full of troubles and controversy. Asia was screwed up when it last held the World Cup. I think the second time we should do it better and win the respect of the world!"
