Being able to participate in an event like the Asian Games for the first time made Xiao Yu very excited. Before he arrived at the hotel, he asked Zhang Ning about this competition and the members of the Olympic team.
Zhang Ning also introduced the two of them carefully.
A total of 24 teams participated in this Asian Games football competition, divided into 6 groups. The top two teams in each group and the 4 best third-placed teams entered the top 16 knockout rounds.
As the host, the Chinese Olympic team is naturally in Group A. Also in the same group are the Japanese Olympic team, the Malaysian Olympic team and the Kyrgyzstan Olympic team.
Xiao Yu was still very interested when he heard about Japan, and then asked Zhang Ning about the members of the Olympic team.
Only after asking this question did I realize that there were so many familiar names from previous lives.
For the goalkeeper position, the main goalkeeper is Wang Dalei;
The back line also has very familiar names, such as Zhang Linpeng, Pu Cheng, Murehe Maitijiang;
There are also familiar players in the midfield, such as Wu Xi, Lu Peng, and Wang Yunlong;
This is basically the main framework of the national football team that was still scolded on the court in the previous life.
As for the coaching staff, the head coach is Li Xiaopeng, and the five assistant coaches are Wang Chao, Li Wei, Sun Wei, Zhang Ning and Hawei.
The leader is Wei Di, and the deputy leader is Yu Hongchen.
This Wei Di was very impressed by Xiao Yu, because he proposed that fantasy proposal of allowing the national team to participate in the league.
But none of this mattered to Xiao Yu at this moment. He urgently needed to go back to the hotel and take a rest. After flying for more than ten hours, he was really feeling tired.
After returning to the hotel and taking the melatonin prepared for him by Elena, Xiao Yu fell asleep steadily and went to relieve the jet lag.
Xiao Yu slept very comfortably. It was already the night of the 6th when he woke up, and Wang Chu had already bought him dinner.
"Brother Yu, you're awake. You can sleep quite well. Get up and have something to eat."
Wang Chu handed the takeout to Xiao Yu.
After filling his stomach, Xiao Yu remembered the golden treasure chest he had obtained when playing against Spartak Moscow. It was time to open it while there was nothing important happening now.
So Xiao Yu and Wang Chu said they were going to take a shower and ran to the bathroom alone.
Seeing that there was only a very simple shower head, I couldn't help but grumbled. The treatment of this Olympic team is not very good. The gap between the treatment of the national football team I saw in my previous life is really huge.
However, let’s not think about that now and let’s open the treasure chest.
Thinking about it, Xiao Yu immediately logged into the system in his mind:
"System, open the gold treasure chest for me."
"Okay! The gold treasure chest has been opened for the host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining S-level skills: Captain: Passive skill. When the host appears on the court as the captain, it can encourage the team and reduce the fatigue effect of the entire team; Congratulations to the host for getting 3 free attribute points; congratulations to the host for getting 15 days of professional explosive training; congratulations to the host for getting injury reduction wristbands: reducing the probability of injury by 30%."
Obtaining a passive skill like captain also left Xiao Yu speechless. It really didn't help him during this Asian Games trip, but the other three rewards were still quite useful.
As for the three attribute points, Xiao Yu directly added them to the offensive consciousness. He didn't know how to train this attribute. If there was an opportunity to add some points to improve it, he might as well improve it first.
With these three points, Xiao Yu's offensive awareness has reached 78 points, but the overall score is still 87. As he thought, it is really not that easy to continue to improve.
At this time, there was also a knock on Xiao Yu's door.
"Xiao Yu, I have some bad news here..."
Before entering the door, Zhang Ning's voice came in, and Xiao Yu hurriedly came out of the bathroom.
"Coach Zhang, what makes you so nervous?"
Xiao Yu was also curious about what happened to make Zhang Ning so nervous.
"Oops! This is also my fault. Our team leader this time, Director Wei, originally notified us to gather on the 3rd. I was thinking that you still had the Champions League game, so I didn't let you come back early. Now Director Wei has done some internal work. Announcement, because the two of you did not gather at the specified time, you will be punished internally. You can only participate in training for the first two games and cannot compete!"
Zhang Ning didn't even bother to take the water from Wang Chu and kept talking.
"Coach Zhang, is there any room for easing this matter? After all, we have both returned from London."
Before Xiao Yu could speak, Wang Chu took the lead and asked.
Xiao Yu can actually understand that such a thing would happen. After all, in his previous life, he had learned about various incomprehensible behaviors of the Football Association from the media or various novels. This just prevented the two of them from participating in the game. It's not even being kicked out of the Olympic team, so it's already a very light punishment.
"Hey! I don't know yet. Come with me to Director Wei's office tomorrow morning."
Zhang Ning also said helplessly.
"Remember, you must have a better attitude. Director Wei has the final say in our competition this time."
"Yeah, I know! We need to ask Coach Zhang to put in a good word for us. We don't want to miss the opportunity to bring glory to our country."
Compared to Xiao Yu, Wang Chu is relatively new, and he does have a very persistent desire to win glory for the country. In his previous life, Wang Chu was constantly recruited before he finally got the job. The fate of being injured and almost useless.
"Hey! I'll do my best. You have to get up early tomorrow and go with me to find Director Wei."
Zhang Ning sighed again, shook his head and explained to the two of them.
After sending Zhang Ning away, Wang Chu had a depressed look on his face, but Xiao Yu really didn't feel anything. He had great feelings for China, but as for the Football Association, he didn't have too deep feelings. Instead, he had some memories of his previous life. Disgusted.
As for Wang Chu, Xiao Yu could only pat him on the back and simply comfort him without saying anything. He really didn't believe that Wei Di could really refuse to give in even after he was back. Since he was on stage, he didn't care so much and just lay down to sleep again. After all, he was still quite sleepy after all the hard work.
——
Early the next morning, Zhang Ning arrived at the hotel at around six o'clock. Wang Chu had already packed up early, but Xiao Yu was still in bed.
Zhang Ning drove slowly, driving Xiao Yu and the two of them to a steady stop in front of a two-story office building.
He carefully led the two of them and stepped onto the second floor with vigorous steps.
Every step seemed so cautious, as if afraid of breaking the quiet morning.
He came to a seemingly ordinary office door and knocked gently twice. Although his voice was small, it was full of respect.
"Director Wei, are you there?"
He asked softly, his words full of respect.
"Oops? Who is it?"
There was a lazy voice from inside the door, with some doubts and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
