Zhuo Yang turned around and looked at his team. Now he was going to lead them to the World Cup field he had always dreamed of. At this time, Li Jinyu, who was standing at the end of the team, was also looking at him. The two smiled and gave a thumbs up at the same time.

Zhuo Yang sighed quite emotionally. He had no way of knowing how many geniuses like Li Jinyu had been flooded in the dust of Chinese football.

Before Jie Shuai re-enlisted him, Li Jinyu had actually seriously considered retirement. Due to his age and injuries, his physical fitness and condition have declined very significantly, and he also felt stagnant in his technical movements.

But Jieshuai's call made Li Jinyu recall his unfulfilled ambitions, his dreams when he was young, his hard work and hardships full of hope, and his pride at the moment of high spirits. So, at that moment, he did not hesitate.

After returning, due to the tactical fit and Li Jinyu's high spirits, he performed very well in a series of games. But after all, he is old and his physical fitness and physical reactions are not as good as those in his prime more than ten years ago. Moreover, counter-attacks on the forward line have always been Li Jinyu's weakness, so although he wishes he met too late, he struggled in Rijkald's tactical system.

Li Jinyu said to Zhuo Yang: "Why didn't you appear earlier, why did you meet Jie Shuai now? Otherwise, I..."

Zhuo Yang patted his shoulder and said, "Old Li, it's not too late."

In the national team, Zhuo Yang and Li Jinyu chatted a lot. From his mouth, Zhuo Yang knew a lot of unknown sufferings of the Jianlibao Youth Team back then.

During the years Li Jinyu and his team studied in Brazil, they actually did not have enough funds, but they were very tight. The conditions for the Jianlibao Youth Team were very difficult. The team's dormitory was purely a prefabricated house. In the hot Brazilian summer, sleeping on the shelf bed in the house was like a steamer.

The team has no money to hire chefs, and all coaches and even players take turns to cook on duty. In the grass not far outside the dormitory, snakes and lizards often have to drive them away when taking out the trash or drying clothes. When you go to remove the trash or drying clothes, you need to drive them away with a stick in front.

"Zhuo Yang, do you know? Even though our family conditions were not wealthy, they were still good. Before going abroad, they didn't suffer much except for football training. But when we were in Brazil, the team had 20 or 30 people eating a watermelon, and we would be happy like the New Year."

According to Li Jinyu, there were indeed many games played at that time, but there were not many serious opponents. They were basically all local grass-roots teams, and there were all kinds of people among their opponents. Such games were of such a low value.

The team is not as noticed by the Brazilian football community as domestic media reports, and in fact it has not been integrated into the Brazilian football circle at all. In essence, the Jianlibao Youth Team is equivalent to finding an extremely difficult place and training for several years.

In addition to the hardships that tempered the will of the young man, the Jianlibao Youth Team's football gains were minimal during their time in Brazil. To be honest, that group of people were not studying abroad, but were delayed.

Why can they still have amazing performances? Because these people are the geniuses selected from geniuses from all levels in China, and are the best teenagers of that age.

It was because they were delayed for several years that they fell very quickly since then. Think about Sun Shuhai, he was hailed as Zhuo Yang's most successful overseas player in China before, and he was eliminated in the domestic screening of Jianlibao Youth Team.

But it is precisely because Sun Jihai received systematic football training in China over the years and had plenty of opportunities for regular competitions that his ultimate achievements surpassed the leader in front of him.

Theoretically speaking, the talents and potential of the teenagers of Jianlibao in the past are above Sun Jihai, but more than ten years later, don’t be surprised that Li Jinyu was considering retirement at the age of 33, because two-thirds of the former geniuses of the same age as him have bid farewell to the football field, and some even retired early at the age of 24 or 5.

The failure of the Jianlibao Youth Team is complicated and not a single reason, but Chinese football has lost a generation, and it is the most valuable generation.

.

The majestic "March of the Volunteers" was played at the Royal Banfoken Stadium in Rustenburg, South Africa. Zhuo Yang, who was standing at the front, sang the national anthem loudly with the music. In the stands that can accommodate 42,000 fans, there were more than 35,000 Chinese team fans, who made the national anthem the only voice in the world at this time.

Zhuo Yang knew that he sang the national anthem a little out of tune because he tried too hard, but he didn't care, so he wanted to sing the national anthem loudly and sing every word loudly.

The full-blown singing was transmitted back to every corner of China through live TV. Many people sang together with Zhuo Yang, and the evening singing resounded throughout the university, factory, family building and community.

The standard of 46 seconds is often the same, and Zhuo Yang is still unsatisfied at the end of the song. He jumped up hard, and after landing, he clenched his fists and shouted: Huh!!

‘Bee—’ Mexican referee Ben Arjundia whistled, and the Chinese team restarted the World Cup eight years later.

.

Paraguay obtained the first kick-off. After Barrios pushed the ball across to Nelson Valdes, he ran straight to the heart of the Chinese team. Nelson Valdes knocked back to Riveros, and Zhuo Yang, who was pressing forward, rushed towards him.

Riveros passed the ball back again and handed it to central defender Paul Da Silva. Li Jinyu was not polite, and he twisted his body and pressed it up while running. Paul Da Silva didn't know the depth of the visitor. To be safe, he pushed the ball back again to the captain, the old goalkeeper Bilal.

The 33-year-old Eusto Bilar is Paraguay's best goalkeeper after legendary goalkeeper Chilavit, and he also has very good footwork like Chilavit.

Bilar stopped the ball steadily with his right foot. Taking advantage of the time when the slow Li Jinyu had not yet arrived, he looked up at the front posture, and then swung his legs and feet straight to the right side of the front court.

Nelson Valdes gave the point to Enrique Bella who was rapidly descending along the side in the competition with Li Jue, but Shao Jiayi, who was recovering quickly, did not give Bella room to rush. He barely stepped on the ground and crossed the cross by Sun Jihai before Barrios.

Zhuo Yang returned to the midfield and turned around and asked for the ball. Sun Jihai pushed the arch diagonally and listened to the command. Zhuo Yang received the ball from outside the arc of the middle circle and then flew to the left, flashing Caceres who was pushing from behind.

Zhuo Yang turned around from the right side and stood firmly, raised his eyelids and swept across the front line, then swung out with one step outside and passed a fast low-altitude ball with his right foot, and the target reached the corner of Paraguay's penalty area.

Li Jinyu, who was doing a back-and-back run in front of Paraguay's back line, suddenly accelerated and cut across, spreading his wings and flew towards the landing point of the football like a proud swan. At a distance of three meters away from the landing point, he glided first in Alcalas.
