Chapter 207: Did you call me Xiao Gao? (Chinese national football team plot, daily transition.)
Island country, Tokyo.

Japan Football Association Headquarters.

"Nani?"

"Gao Qi will play in the Asian Cup?"

"Damn it! Hurry up and call back Honda-kun, Kagawa-kun, and Hase-kun."

"The entire main lineup will play."

"We can't miss this opportunity to learn and improve. Gao is the best whetstone for the Japanese team before the 2018 World Cup!"

The teaching assistants were chattering all day long.

They regarded Gao Qi as their strongest rival in Asia.

Hua Guogao's influence spreads throughout Asia. Young people in various countries regard him as an idol, and the island countries with a stronger football atmosphere are no exception.

"calm!"

Head coach Aguirre pressed down with both hands.

He tried to find a way to keep everyone calm.

After holding it in for a long time, I couldn't find a way to suppress the fanatical Xiaoshi assistant coaching team.

I could only look out the window and said leisurely, "I heard that the snow in Hokkaido is very beautiful. I want to go and see it."

Seoul.

Korea Football Association headquarters.

Snapped!
South Korean football competition committee member, Shin Cheon-gil, slammed the table heavily.

“We must not only defeat Gao Qi head-on, but also win by a large margin.”

"Stop his invasion of our culture."

"We must severely defeat Gao Qi in the Asian Cup and pull him off the altar, smecta!"

“Pretty clothes, feminine idols that sing and dance, and stimulating music can no longer influence the thinking ability of young people.”

Hear the last words.

The teaching assistants couldn't help but twitch their lips.

There are many officials in South Korea who have "special" tendencies, and they are always exposed when they speak inadvertently.

Technical Committee Member - Zhang Neilong shook his head: "Senior, don't worry, I have been in the Chinese Super League for many years and can defeat tall people, not on the green field."

The news that Gao Qi played for the Chinese national football team shocked the whole of Asia.

Strong teams are in trouble.

The fans were cheering and wanted to witness the Premier League superstar in the national team competition.

"People's Daily" published an article: A young man has joined the national team.

The front page clearly read: Gao Qi’s back wearing the No. 9 national football team jersey.

It caused a national sensation.

The Chinese star's national team jerseys were released and sold out in an instant.

The high-end imitation jerseys on the night market stalls attracted passers-by.

The vendor held up a jersey and shouted, "The products endorsed by Gao Qi are affordable for ordinary people. He won't blame us."

Before he could finish his words, passers-by started rushing to buy.

Manchester Airport.

There was snow in the sky and the wind was cold.

Gao Qi said goodbye to everyone.

Representatives of the Abu Dhabi consortium, club executives, the head coach, and several teammates were all present.

"God bless you."

“God directs your path.”

“Buddha.”

Everyone took turns to send their blessings, hoping that Gao Qi's Asian Cup journey would go smoothly.

I don't know who said at the end: "Holy Light protects you."

De Bruyne wanted to say something, but Morata got there first: "Go to Asia with peace of mind, the sharpest sword in the East!"

The sharpest sword in the East?

How was this wonderful word coined?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, secretly admiring the Spanish genius's flattery skills.

Gao Qi smiled and shook his head: "I'm going to the Southern Hemisphere. The venue for this Asian Cup is Australia."

"."

Sydney, Australia.

The temporary training base of the Chinese national football team.

Head coach Perrin raised the fax paper on the table tremblingly.

"It was a pass from Mr. Enrique"

"Enrique, the famous coach of European giant Barcelona, ​​gave us advice."

Assistant Li blew his bangs, leaned closer to his head, and asked in confusion: "Boss, there's nothing written on it? 901? Just three numbers?"

There is frequent communication between the coaching staff of the national team and the club.

Learning from each other is jokingly called "copying homework" by the media.

For example, Loew and Heynckes, Guardiola. For example, Bosque and Guardiola.

"Should we ask Man City coach Pellegrini for advice?"

"It's no use asking him. What's Manchester City's lineup? Mr. Enrique is the real famous coach. He led Roma to defeat the strong with the weak."

Perrin is no unknown person.

In the 80s, he was Wenger's assistant coach and often had verbal fights with opposing coaches.

He gradually learned Wenger's special skill of "insight", and helped the club make a lot of money through the plan of "discovering talents and then selling them".

The most classic case is: in 2003, he spent 330 million pounds to bring Drogba to Marseille, and just one year later, Drogba joined Chelsea for 2400 million pounds.

In 2007, he led the lower-tier team, Sochaux, to win the French Cup.

In 2008, he led Lyon to win the French Ligue championship.

Later, he was called a sinner and a French liar when he coached the Chinese national football team in his first match, which ended in a 1:3 loss to Iraq.

The plane flew through heavy clouds and landed at Sydney Airport.

At the airport pick-up point, there was a sea of ​​red.

The confused foreigner looked around and almost thought he had flown to the East.

"Gao Qi!"

Chinese fans wearing national football jerseys held up posters and banners.

In a few days we will witness Gao Qi's national team debut, and everyone can't hide their excitement at the moment.

There are cordons on both sides and security personnel are on high alert.

Reporters from all over the world set up their cameras early.

"Gao Qi!!!"

When the tall figure of the Chinese star appeared in people's field of vision.

The cheers were like a landslide and a tsunami, and it seemed as if the ground was shaking slightly.

Gao Qi waved enthusiastically to the fans.

Click, click, click!

The spotlights are flashing!
The scene was extremely sensational.

According to his previous style, Gao Qi was reluctant to make his itinerary public, fearing that it would disrupt public order and occupy resources.

However, the agency team believes that Gao Qi accepted the call-up and officially became the business card of Chinese football, and the world must see the support of Chinese fans for him.

After a long time.

The Chinese star left the airport amidst blessings.

The business car was driving slowly on the road.

The Chinese national football team's head coach Zhang enthusiastically introduced the upcoming itinerary.

Gao Qi asked in confusion: "What itinerary?"

Isn't it training for war?
Team leader Zhang explained with a smile: "We are going to attend a Chinese overseas dinner tonight, and it is also specially arranged to welcome you!"

"Tomorrow we are going to visit the Sydney Opera House."

"I will be accepting an exclusive interview with the media the day after tomorrow."

next moment.

Gao Qi refused: "I won't go. I need to adjust to the time difference, and then I can train and go to the venue."

Team leader Zhang looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Gao, we can't not give you face."

"."

Assistant Instructor Li observed the situation, blew his bangs, pointed at Team Leader Zhang and angrily said, "Did you call Xiao Gao?"

That night.

A phone call was made from the Chinese capital to Australia.

Several team managers and officials not related to the competitive level were removed from their posts and ordered to return to their country immediately for inspection.

The Chinese national football team temporarily canceled all itineraries, refused interviews from the outside world, and conducted closed training.

Many media outlets published the article: "A young man came to the Organization Department."

Six days later.

Brisbane Stadium.

The red ocean is churning.

The singing of Chinese fans seemed to be filled with endless power.

at the same time.

In the East, countless Chinese people sat in front of the TV early in the morning, their eyes full of anticipation.

The CTV5 commentator did not introduce the game step by step.

The director's camera moved to the large LED screen in the middle of the stadium, and Gao Qi's jersey number happened to appear.

China, No. 9.

“We’re about to see.”

"The semi-successor of the Apennines' number nine, the Serie A Golden Boot record holder, the Champions League top scorer, the fourth person in the history of the Champions League final to complete a hat trick, the Red Wolves legend, the Blue Moon dream, the man with the highest transfer fee in football history, 1.5 million, the sharpest sword in the East"

"Gao Qi!"

"He will wear the No. 9 Chinese football jersey tonight and play for his country."
