Chapter 719
After the end of the opening four-game winning streak, entering September, the FIFA match day came, and the major leagues entered a temporary truce.
During this period, the top 2018 of the 40 Russia World Cup Asian Qualifiers officially started.
On September 9, the Chinese team played against Hong Kong, China at home, and on September 3, played away against the Maldives.
According to the original plan, Yang Mo did not plan to return to China to participate in the top 40 competition.
Because the national team recalled Wu Lei, Zhang Linfan and other overseas players, there is still no problem in advancing to the top 12.
But for various reasons, he had to return home.
On the bright side, it is because the national football team gave everyone a too deep image of weakness in the Asian Cup. Even if they won the East Asian Cup, everyone would be worried about the national football team without him.
So before the world preliminaries started, Lippi called him, hoping that he could come back to hold the lineup.
Even if you don't play football, you have to sit on the bench at least. After all, the Chinese team is in Group C and there are strong teams like Qatar.
He is there at the critical moment, and if any accident happens, he can take the top at any time.
The reason why Lippi is so nervous is mainly due to the promotion rules of the top 40.
In the top 8, the 12 teams are divided into [-] groups, resulting in [-] promotion places.
The promotion rule is that the first in the group will advance directly, and the remaining four places will be the second best in the group.
This kind of rule makes it very uncertain for the team to advance. If they accidentally fall to the second place in the group, they need to start competing with the second place in the other eight groups. They only look at the results, not the games.
Historically, the Chinese team has fallen in the group stage more than once, so it is understandable that these people have lingering fears.
The domestic fans were naturally overjoyed when he returned to China to participate in the top [-] matches.
But for him, it felt like nothing to be happy about.
Look at South Korea and Japan, many of the main players in the top [-] did not return to their home countries, but they were the main players, and they even sacrificed his knife for killing chickens.
On his way back to China, because of the World Cup preliminaries, many people in China are also busy with the World Cup preliminaries.
And this is another important reason why he wants to return to China.
Since his return from injury, the national football competition has become hotter.
When the Football Association publicly selected the home host city for the World Preliminaries, [-] cities across the country applied for the host. For the places in the four games, the representatives of these cities competed for the Football Association.
Because everyone knows that wherever he plays, there will inevitably be a large number of fans coming from all over the country.
With the flow of people, of course it will increase local consumption, and indirectly promote it to the outside world.
After all, he is not only a domestic star now, but an influential superstar all over the world, and the attention of overseas media is indispensable wherever he goes.
Therefore, for the benefit of these cities that have successfully won the right to host the world preliminaries, several bigwigs called him, explained the pros and cons to him, and hoped that he could return to China to compete.
He can use his own influence to drive domestic publicity and the economy, of course he is willing to do such a thing.
In the end, the reason why he was willing to return to China to participate in the competition was mostly because of this, and the results were secondary.
Shenzhen Stadium, the home of the national football team in the world preliminaries against Hong Kong, China.
In the stadium, Guo Bingyan, the new team leader of the national team, strolled around the stadium to check the readiness of the stadium.
Beside him is the person in charge of Shenzhen who bid to host the World Preliminaries.
"How did you prepare? There are still four days before the competition, and the quality of the turf? Who can be responsible for affecting the competition..."
The new team leader walked all the way, picking up problems all the way, and seemed quite angry.
Several responsible persons in Shenzhen could only repeatedly express that they would fix it immediately.
After the acceptance inspection was over and Team Leader Guo left, some of the staff in Shenzhen couldn't help complaining, "This team leader has a really bad temper. This is a newly replaced turf. How can we fix it?"
"There are three fires for a new official to take office, and he must show his identity."
"It's still easy to get along with the original leader Li. This air is too big, I really can't bear it."
"Let's say a few words..."
After inspecting the stadium, Team Leader Guo went straight to the base of the SZ City Football Club, where the National Football Team is renting for training.
After entering the base, Team Leader Guo found the female assistant arranged for him by the national team and asked, "Xiao Sun, is everyone here?"
"The domestic clubs are all here, and those who play overseas, Zhou Haibin, Zhang Xizhe, and Zhang Linfan have just arrived. Yang Mo's situation is still unclear. Wu Lei has a league match today, and said he will come back overnight after playing."
The assistant's full name is Sun Wantong, who has just graduated from university for more than a year. He used to be the assistant of the team leader Li Xiaoguang, and he came to the national team earlier than Guo Bingyan.
After Sun Wantong finished speaking, Team Leader Guo looked a little displeased.
"No organization and no discipline! I informed these people to come back two days ago, but it's only now that they have arrived. One has no news, and the other is looking for a reason. Can the club's game be more important than the national team's game..."
Hearing Team Leader Guo lose his temper, Sun Wantong next to him was a little silly.
Whether this new team leader has a great background or is too "true temperament", don't you know who is in charge of the national team now? .
The leader who arranged for this guy to join the national team didn't tell him in advance.
Ever since Yang Mo dominated the national team, the national team hadn't seen this kind of authority figure for a long time.
Li Xiaoguang's qualifications are deep enough, Guoqing knows Yang Mo, and he has won many achievements in the national team, but even so in the national team, he is well-behaved and never messes around.
What does this guy in front of you think of the current national team?
But what surprised Sun Wantong was still behind.
"Let Zhou Haibin, Zhang Xizhe and Zhang Linfan go to my office, I have something to say to them."
From Guo Bingyan's tone, it was obvious that there was nothing good to be done with these three people.
"Guo team, they have already returned, so there is no need..." Sun Wantong heard the meaning and tried to dissuade him.
But Guo Bingyan blocked Sun Wantong back with a single sentence, "Are you the team leader or am I the team leader!"
Looking for excitement by myself, why should I stop it.
With such a mentality, Sun Wantong went to the stadium to inform Zhou Haibin and the other three.
Not long after, many people in the national team heard fierce quarrels coming from the office of the new team leader, and then saw Zhou Haibin and the three angrily slam the door away.
After a while, Team Leader Guo called Sun Wantong in, and gave the order with a bad face.
"Xiao Sun, go and tell Lippi! Zhou Haibin, Zhang Xizhe, and Zhang Linfan have serious problems with their attitude towards the national team! They must reflect on themselves! They are not allowed to play in the first World Cup preliminaries."
"Okay, I'll go right now."
Sun Wantong didn't bother to persuade her anymore, she just waited to see how the new team leader planned to continue to die.
