Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 11 Liao Lisheng: "What happened to our promise to stay up all night together?" (Please add to your favorites)
"Huh? A dinner party? But I was planning to have dinner with my wife tonight!"

Hengda Royal Peninsula Villas in Jinshazhou.

Conca, who had just finished his day's work, suddenly received a phone call from the person he was translating.

Although he has been in China for a year and a half, Conca, an Argentinian, still cannot adapt to life in China.

He dislikes socializing and Chinese-style gatherings, especially the drinking culture.

So, after receiving the call from the translator, he, as usual, chose to make an excuse to refuse.

"What? A new teammate? When did this new teammate arrive?"

"You're only joining the team tomorrow?"

"I'm sorry, please tell Zheng that I have something to do tonight and I won't be coming!"

New teammates?
Conca knew that with new teammates arriving, he should attend the welcoming ceremony.

However, in the past year or so, he has seen too many new teammates, some of whom he only sees once at the welcoming ceremony before disappearing from the first team.

He just wants to play football well and then quietly spend time with his family.

He didn't want to participate in so many useless, or even time-wasting, welcoming ceremonies for newcomers.

That night.

Su Hao met many people at the Evergrande Tianhe Hotel, people he had only seen on television in his previous life.

He met Gao Lin, who had been ridiculed for a long time but was later discovered to be China's best striker after retiring.

He also met Feng Xiaoting and Zhao Xuri, who were always mistaken for each other.

He also met Huang Bowen, who always scores world-class goals in big games.

Because the old man would be personally supervising the training the next day.

The group simply had a meal, and then, through Zheng Zhi's introduction, they met this young man who had been touted as a prodigy by Evergrande.

Of course, to save Zhang Linpeng's face, no one said that Su Hao, the 16-year-old mascot, had already soloed and cleared Zhang Mos's dungeon.

Everyone thought that this dinner was just Zheng Zhi putting on a show for his senior teammate Wang Gang.

Moreover, this seems to confirm everyone's suspicions.

At the end of the dinner, Zheng Zhi called Wang Gang and praised him highly for training Su Hao so well!

late at night.

After finishing the dinner party and returning to his apartment, Su Hao finally had time to log into the system again to check on the changes in his 88-95 passing score.

Unfortunately, the two hours of training did not result in any change in the numerical values.

However, despite his regret, Su Hao suddenly looked forward to the training after dawn.

Yes!

That was a training session led by Marcello Lippi, one of the world's top coaches.

Moreover, this team is the strongest team in the history of Chinese football, bar none.

He had originally thought that his panel system, which was full of question marks, would at most allow him to become a close witness to the last red glimmer of Chinese football.

But after getting to know Zhang Linpeng, Su Hao suddenly realized that he seemed... he wasn't as weak as he had imagined.
Or was this template man, who died at 30, already ridiculously strong when he was 18?

Could it be that he could actually board the giant Asian ship Evergrande as a formal sailor?

2013 2 Month 12 Day.

There are only 14 days left until Guangzhou Evergrande's AFC Champions League debut.

Su Hao got up early at 6 o'clock in the morning.

After a quick wash, Su Hao planned to grab something quick at the cafeteria and head straight to the training ground.

Although yesterday's training didn't change his passing stats, Su Hao felt that all he had left to do now was grind relentlessly.

Instead of just giving up, you might as well put in some effort; maybe you can actually achieve something great.

Just as Su Hao opened the door, Liao Lisheng happened to walk out of the room.

At last night's dinner, whether Zheng Zhi did it on purpose or forgot, Su Hao didn't see this young man who indeed had a stunning period at Evergrande.

"Xiao Hao, I'm sorry, last night was my mother's birthday, so I couldn't come!" As soon as he saw Su Hao, Liao Lisheng took the initiative to explain why he couldn't attend yesterday.

Since Liao Lisheng had already offered an explanation, Su Hao naturally started chatting with this fellow disciple.

There's nothing I can do. He just joined the first team and doesn't know many things. I need to ask Liao Lisheng for advice.

For example, Lippi's taboos, some team gossip, and other things to pay attention to.

"The old man hates being late or leaving early, and he also hates food.

"."

"Hey, we came up from the reserve team. Although those guys envy us, once we get to the first team, Xiao Hao, we'll just have to wait it out. I've been here for two months, and even in our group scrimmage, we're still the substitutes of the B team's substitutes. There are too many awesome people in the first team. Even a powerhouse like Rong Hao is a substitute. It's even harder for us in midfield. Ahead of us are Qin Sheng, Zhao Xuri, Feng Renliang, and Feng Junyan!"

As they chatted, Liao Lisheng, who had been working hard for more than two months, began to lament the current difficulties he faced with the Guangzhou Evergrande team.

Liao Lisheng's sigh caused Su Hao to suddenly feel troubled.

Yes!

Listen to those names: Zhao Xuri, Zhao Yijiao, Feng Renliang, Qin... cough cough, Qin Sheng, the arguing expert—these formidable players are all waiting for their chance on the bench.

I wonder if I really will have to endure this hardship for a long time.

Although I watched Zhang Linpeng's videos yesterday.

However, cooperating with others and adapting to teammates' habits all require a period of adjustment.

In my memory, Liao Lisheng also waited half a year before he had a chance to appear on screen, and I...
"Hey! Hang in there, bro! You haven't gotten your chance in two months, who knows how long I'll have to wait!"

"Yeah, let's stick together, bro. It's just the two of us living in the apartment, so we can train together from now on. I'll call you!"

8:30 a.m.!
As usual, Marcello Lippi arrived at the luxurious training ground of Guangzhou Evergrande's first team right on time.

On the training field, all 29 members of the first team have gathered and are doing warm-up exercises under the guidance of the physical trainer.

Just now at the club's main entrance, Lippi saw a large number of reporters gathered there.

Yesterday, the whole of China was talking about Su Hao, who was promoted by Evergrande as the living advertisement of their football academy.

Lippi knew very well that the reporters all wanted to ask him questions about Su Hao.

Therefore, Lippi didn't stop at all.

He didn't want to deal with reporters who didn't even have the most basic common sense about football.

He reviewed Osaro's medical report.

To be honest, the old man didn't expect that Su Hao's body would be so strong, almost beyond human physique.

Considering his performance in the reserve team, the old man was really curious about what level Su Hao would reach in the first team.

Therefore, there are no other complicated procedures.

After the warm-up activities, the old man immediately had Madaloni gather all the team members together and announce the group matches.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng!

"Defenders: Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Kim Young-gwon, Zhang Linpeng!"

Midfielders: Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen, Conca!

"Forwards: Muriqui, Gao Lin, Elkeson!"

Team A!
It was Guangzhou Evergrande that swept across the entire Asia.

Su Hao and Liao Lisheng stood at the very back, waiting for Madaloni to read the announcement.

What happened next was something that neither Liao Lisheng nor Su Hao expected.

Team B!!!
Midfield position
Su Hao's name was actually on the list?!
Upon hearing Su Hao's name, Liao Lisheng, who had just been hugging Su Hao and complaining about having to stand on the sidelines envying others, immediately turned to look at Su Hao.

Those furrowed brows, forming a question mark, seemed to be saying something!

"Brother? You call this 'cooking together'?"
