"Ah, um. There is something wrong, there is something wrong. You can go back to the dormitory later and pack up your things and leave Maojiawan."

Wu Shangshan was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe what he heard. He asked in a trembling voice: "Leave...Leave the National Olympic Team? Where do the coach wants me to go?"

"Go back to Dalian and back to the club!"

"But, but, why? Did I violate any rules? Or did I not behave well enough?" The young Wu Shangshan cried out in a hurry.

Qiu Suhui pointed to the newspaper: "Didn't you say you have read it? On the fourth page, 'The new rules of the AFC, a player can only participate in the Olympics once'. In other words, as a player of the 2008 Olympics, if you participate in the qualifiers for this Olympics, you are not eligible to participate in the Beijing Olympics. So I have to let you go back to Dalian."

Wu Shangshan breathed a little relieved, but was still a little reluctant.

Qiu Suhui saw it, "Follower, remember the training method I gave you. Without affecting the normal training of the club, practice for yourself for one hour every day. Don't be too much, just one hour. This will ensure that your level will not drop. As long as you can persevere, it will be the same in the National Olympic Team and in Dalian. It is practice in Shaolin Temple, and it is practice in Shaolin!"

Wu Shangshan was amused by Qiu Suhui's words. Although he had only trained under this coach for two months, he felt that Qiu Zhi was not an ordinary coach. He would often joke with everyone and rarely put on the air of a coach. Everyone was not afraid of him, but respected him very much. During the two months in the National Olympic Committee, his progress was very obvious. Qiu Zhi was the best coach he met, and his teammates would also be good friends.

Wu Shangshan stood up, bowed deeply to Qiu Suhui, and then turned around and went out. When he closed the door, he heard Qiu Suhui behind him say, "...we must persevere..."

He wiped his tears, fortunately there was no one here, otherwise he would be so embarrassed! He actually cried, only two months ago, why was he so reluctant? Although he was not driven out, he wished he could be with everyone forever, visiting each dormitory in the evening, listening to Xiang Tao telling pornographic jokes, listening to Liu Peng telling Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and Kaka and the others' past. Also, participating in the Triangle League, winning the "Golden Boot Award", and one day's vacation reward was to take the initiative to practice with his teammates...

His purpose of playing football was to become a professional player, a star, and make a lot of money one day. Now he found that he had hopelessly fallen in love with football. Two months passed so quickly with a group of teammates who also like football!

Damn AFC! Why do you have such a bullshit rule? Why can't you participate in two Olympics? If you can choose, he would rather work hard for the Athens Olympics with these teammates than wait until 2008 to enjoy the benefits of the home court.

Don't want to leave!

"Have persisted..."

But can I really persevere? In that environment, Qiu Zhi said that Shaolin Temple is Shaolin Temple, the world is the world, and the world can never become a Shaolin Temple...

"Hey? David? Haha, remember me? Ah, that's good! Haha, I have someone who wants to recommend it to you... Well, don't you believe my vision? Haha! OK, I will send his video tape to Sir Alex and tell Sir Alex that he will become another Vanny! Well, you have to worry, next time I come to China, I'll treat you to pig slaughtering dishes! Haha!"

Qiu Suhui hung up the phone, looked at the faintly hidden door, and sighed. "You have to persevere..."

A day later, a simple farewell party was held for Wu Shangshan and several other national Olympic team members in Maojiawan. Most of the people who left were reluctant and tears. In addition to a hint of luck, those who stayed were more regretful and reluctant for the people who left. Although Qiu Suhui said that everyone was happy, there would be opportunities for training in the future. But everyone knew that in the years of happy and fulfilling training, this day was the most cruel day.

Some people stayed, and some wanted to leave.

On August 20, 2003, ten players left the National Olympic Team. The remaining twenty-five players will leave Maojiawan with their expectations and go to the Honghe Base in Kunming to officially prepare for the Sino-Syrian battle that began in September.
