Chapter 16 How should this game be played? (Fourth update, I'm so eager to ask for monthly tickets!)

"Hey, hero." In the hotel room, Scotter was bored and pressed one channel after another with the remote control. He couldn't understand many of the programs on the TV. He finally found a channel with familiar content. He was talking about Chinese - CCTV Sports Channel is playing the sports world in the evening. Today's sports world is the upcoming warm-up match between Liverpool and the Chinese national team.

"What's the matter?"

"Translation for me." Scotter pointed to the TV screen: "What did they say?"

Chen Yingxiong put down the phone in his hand and was also bored for him to play mobile games.

He glanced at the TV screen: "Oh, let's talk about our game against the Chinese team."

"Is that?" Scotter became interested when he heard this. "What did he say specifically?"

"Well... I say that the Chinese team is ready, and this is the last warm-up match led by head coach Gao Hongbo... The Chinese team has a nickname, do you know, Martin?"

Scotter shook his head.

"'King of Warm-up matches', haha! They once tied Germany and beat France in the warm-up matches."

"It's amazing!" Scotter whistled. "Then the Chinese team's combat effectiveness is still very strong. Maybe the day after tomorrow is not easy to play..."

Chen Yingxiong snorted: "You said if we win a big game, wouldn't we give them too much face?"

Scotter was stunned for a moment: "You ask me this question? I am not Chinese, you know the best, right?"

Chen Yingxiong said nothing.

In fact, he is not very clear about what Chinese fans are about the Chinese team. Many people usually scold online when watching "I'm watching the national team's game again!" "I'm just a puppy!" "Are there still people who are foolish to watch the Chinese team's game?" "Watching A-movies at home is more honorable than watching the Chinese team's game!"

But when there are Chinese teams playing, there are still many fans in the stands. I wonder if those who scold online are among them...

He tried to think from his own perspective and put himself into a fan. When he was a child, his biggest dream was to be able to fight for the country one day. He is a must-see for every game of the Chinese team. Is he a fan of the Chinese team?

When he could understand the ball, the Chinese team entered the World Cup. At that time, people from all over the country were very happy... TV, newspapers, cash registers, and online reports on this matter were just like the New Year. He was very impressed.

Later, the Chinese team failed to score a goal in the World Cup and failed to score a single point, and returned to China in shame. The previously very strong enthusiasm for football suddenly disappeared halfway.

At first, many people scolded Chinese football, but still many watched Chinese football. Many people said, "I will never watch Chinese team games again." When there was really a Chinese team game, they all stayed in front of the TV...

The Chinese team won the ball, and they were quite happy. The Chinese team slandered the ball after losing.

If you are happy to lose the ball, why are there so many people scolding you? You shouldn’t have set off firecrackers to celebrate, just like the Chinese team breaking into the World Cup, that is the performance of “happy to see the loss”?

He thinks that if he is really a Chinese football fan, I'm afraid he still hopes that the Chinese team will win?

If the Chinese team loses to Liverpool in a big score, there will probably be many people who will feel sad and painful.

Is it right or wrong to do this yourself?

While hesitating, he suddenly thought of what he heard that day, and a fire of nameless rushed up from his heart.

Oh shit!

It’s not broken or established! It’s always a pain for anyone to hold it like this. I might as well just make a happy move and tear the Football Association’s fig leaf! Even if I scold me, I will admit it!

Chen Yingxiong is considering whether it would seem that if he wins too much, he would be indifferent to home fans and the Chinese team.

Some people are also considering this issue.

"Should you stop when you are good?" Nian was talking to Chen Xing and the team's head coach Daglish about the problem he just thought of.

Winning the Chinese team is not a problem in the eyes of these two people. The question is how many goals to win and how to win. If the score difference is too large, will the Chinese team and the Chinese Football Association feel too embarrassing, and will the Chinese fans feel that it is too disrespectful to them? Both of them are Chinese. Although neither of them speaks Chinese, they still know the characteristics of face and needing face.

In this case, it may affect Liverpool's image in the Chinese market, thereby affecting their interests here...

So how to play this game is not just a matter of football.

Therefore, Chen Xingcai called the club's general manager and the team's head coach together to discuss this issue.

Daglish disagreed with his men to show mercy because he didn't think the Chinese team is really that easy to deal with. How could he say that they are also the national team of the same country? Since China has players like Chen Yingxiong, their national team is not too weak, right?

What's more, the game with Evergrande allowed him to see the strength of Chinese clubs, so he did not dare to look down on it too much.

In fact, there is another most important reason that makes him disapprove of his mercy. That is, the news that Liverpool narrowly defeated Evergrande 4-3 in the first game has been circulated back to the UK. There have been more criticisms of the team in Liverpool. Many people sarcastically said that Liverpool played a new team in China - Evergrande was still in the China League One last season and was just promoted to the Chinese Super League this season. For those British journalists who don’t know Chinese football or just look at information, Evergrande is a new team, and it is no different from Queen’s Park Rangers. Norwich is a new team this season. All of them can be fed three goals. Such a defense line is too bad. If the defensive quality is not improved, Liverpool’s new season results may be worrying...

The criticism puts great pressure on Daglish. If he loses to the Chinese team in the second game or is tied by the opponent, he may have to bear more pressure.

This is a situation he doesn't want to see.

However, he couldn't tell his boss directly that I was worried about the team's performance, so he had to say something in the scene.

"Well... But this is a business competition after all. If we are too lazy, will the other party think that we are not working hard? Wouldn't this be even worse?"

As soon as he said this, Nian said nothing.

If you don’t work hard, it will also hurt Liverpool’s image in China…

Chen Xing turned his head: "Let's do this, all the main players in the first half. So they can't say that we are not working hard anymore? They actually just want to see the stars, and it's enough that the stars are on the court..."

Daglish had no objection to this way. Anyway, he also planned to start all the main players, establish enough advantages in the first half, and make adjustments in the second half, so there would be more room for maneuver and room.

Not only do you have to win this game, but you also have to win less suspense. He doesn't want his team's defense to concede two goals in the last ten minutes...

Before the competition with the national team, various topics related to the national team were naturally very popular, and the most popular topic was naturally whether Chen Yingxiong could enter the national team.

There was also a fierce debate online.

Many people think that this sudden warm-up match might pave the way for Chen Yingxiong to enter the national team.

Because there was no warm-up match at this time, this game was not an international A-level event recognized by FIFA. No matter win or loss, no points were included in the ranking statistics. The Chinese team also had to bear the risk of injuring the players in the warm-up match when the match against Laos was imminent.

If that's the case, why do you still have to arrange this game?

Of course, I hope to use this game to match Chen Yingxiong and the national team. The more optimistic view is that in the match against Laos, you may be able to see Chen Yingxiong wearing the national team's robe. The more cautious view is that in the top 20 matches that started in early September, Chen Yingxiong should be able to represent the Chinese national team.

Chen Yingxiong remained silent in the face of such inquiries from the reporters.

However, his silence was interpreted as "caution before things are about to succeed". Some media seriously said in their own three-point field that Chen Yingxiong had reached an agreement with the Football Association, and he would definitely join Camacho's national team. His joining was because Camacho had ordered it - he could make sense, because everyone knew that this warm-up match was the middleman of Camacho - Camacho was hired by Dalian Wanda. Dalian Wanda is now the funder of the Chinese Football Association. Camacho means Dalian Wanda. The Football Association dares not offend the funder. Even if there is more holiday with Chen Yingxiong, he must agree to the requests made by the funder.

It's quite like that, so many fans began to look forward to Chen Yingxiong's game after joining the national team.

Even Chen Yingxiong's father was cheated, so he called Chen Yingxiong specifically: "Are you really going to join the national team?"

Chen Yingxiong could remain silent or even lie to others, but he could only tell the truth to his father. So he told his father exactly what he had to do with Wan Zongquan.

"Hey!" Chen Tao was so upset by the request from the Football Association on the other end of the phone. "What are you going to do?"

"I want to suck them in the face." Chen Yingxiong's answer was very simple, but as someone who knows his son best, Chen Tao could still hear some murderous aura.

"Are you going to be in this game..."

Chen Yingxiong snapped his fingers: "Yes, that's what you think, Dad!"

"This... won't make a fuss too much, right?"

"I'm afraid of them!" Chen Yingxiong looked disdainful. "Dad, you just wait and see the show!"

※ ※ ※

After hanging up the phone, the mother asked Chen Tao with great concern: "How is it?"

"My son said that he won't join the national team."

"Why? Is it not good to serve the country?"

Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, and then didn't know how to explain it to his wife. This issue was too complicated, and his wife was not interested in football at all, so many deep-seated topics could not be discussed or explained clearly. It was very troublesome to explain. In the end, he simply stomped his feet and put on the majesty of the head of the family: "Oh, what do you know about your woman's family? Anyway... nothing is wrong! If someone asks you about the hero joining the national team, you will just say you don't know!"
