"... In a warm-up match yesterday, the Chinese team finally defeated the visiting American team 1:0... In this game, Dillon made major adjustments to the team's lineup until the end of the game.
, are not the lineup that everyone is familiar with. Under such circumstances, it is indeed not easy for the Chinese team to win a small victory over the American team, which is ranked higher than itself by FIFA...
"It is worth mentioning that in this game, Qin Qi, a young player who has attracted much attention recently, made his debut in the national team... He came on as a substitute in the 67th minute of the game, replacing Cai Shuyi
.Recently, because his father Qin Lin entered the national team coaching staff, and he also entered the World Cup training team, there has been constant controversy surrounding him... But in yesterday's game, Qin Qi performed steadily after coming off the bench and made no mistakes.
..."
"After this warm-up match, the Chinese team's domestic training has also entered the final stage. I believe that the 23-person roster has gradually taken shape in Dillon's mind... It is reported that Dillon will be on the last day of domestic training.
Announcement of the list of twenty-three people. In fact, there is no suspense about many names in this list...
"Although Dillon made a 'big shift' in the lineup in yesterday's game against the US team, the main lineup of the Chinese team has never been a secret. No one can guess it. After all, there are only so many Chinese overseas players. Their performance
In the past season, everyone has seen it, and it is clear who can and cannot play. Only a few positions are still controversial..."
"Oh, this news can be directly named. Why keep it secretive? Apart from the central defender position, what other suspense is there in the 23-man roster?"
"I think it would be normal if Qin Qi was chosen in the end. Everyone can tell that in the local World Cup four years later, Qin Qi will definitely be the national player. Taking him to the World Cup this time to feel the atmosphere is not the same as the last World Cup.
, is it the same as guiding Shi to take Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing to the World Cup?"
"Oh, that's not what you said when the training camp just started! Weren't everyone scolding Xiaoqi for taking advantage of his father? All kinds of short essays were written like, 'My father, the coach of the national football team,'
Now you are saying that people should go to the World Cup?"
"I have never objected to Qin Qi joining the training team. Moreover, judging from his performance in yesterday's warm-up match, his physical condition is indeed very good. Even if he has not played in the first team of Bailu, he should be better in reserve team games than in the Chinese Super League.
Strong, right?"
"Don't brag upstairs, the White Deer reserve team plays local amateur matches. If you want to say that Frankfurt's amateur matches are higher than the Chinese Super League, then you should go to the hospital and have your brain examined!"
"So I say that the fans are just idiots. If they perform well, they will be praised to the sky. If they perform poorly, they will be scolded to death. In yesterday's game, the Chinese team was ahead by one goal, and the fans in the audience shouted, 'Hu Lai scored one,'"
In the end, Dillon replaced Hu Lai, which was so hilarious! He has to be a world-famous coach to dare to confront the fans so openly! If it were to be replaced by a local Chinese coach, who could withstand such pressure? Who would really dare to do this?
If you do it, you can’t be scolded by the media and fans after the game?”
"Dillon is indeed... Before he coached the national team, when he first came to Dashun Golden Arrow, he was scolded by Chinese fans on the Internet for questioning Hu Lai. He has always been the stubborn old man who dares to speak and act.
Son. I think as a head coach, you should have such a stance and confidence. If you listen to the fans in everything, then why should you hire him to be the head coach? Wouldn’t it be nice to give 10 million to our fans every year?”
"How can 10 million be enough? There are so many fans in China... Can everyone get a dollar?"
"Upstairs, Dillon's annual salary is in Euros."
"There are not enough cents in euros!"
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
“Isn’t going off-topic a normal part of online discussions?”
※※※
As the end of the training camp approaches, the atmosphere within the Chinese team gradually becomes tense.
Everyone's range of motion during training is obviously much smaller - after all, no one wants to get injured at the last moment of training.
Especially those players who are almost certain to be selected for the squad.
Dillon's coaching staff also fully considered this, so the training arrangements in the last few days were relatively relaxed -
—It’s not about the amount of training that’s easy, but the atmosphere of the training that’s relaxed.
Mainly to conduct various set-piece tactical training.
The whole training process was very enjoyable.
Because Hu Lai contributed a lot of imaginative ideas.
Although Dillon always emphasizes to his players that they are very strong, in the World Cup, in the death group, the Chinese team is still relatively weak.
Facing a team that is stronger than your own, set kicks are a very important means of scoring.
After all, sports battles are easily blocked, so they must make a big fuss about set pieces.
However, Hu Lai has successful experience in scoring goals from set pieces - this goes back to when he was playing in Flash Stars.
In the past few days of training, the Chinese team not only practiced various corner kick and free kick tactics, but also practiced penalty kicks.
This is also specially designed for Hu Lai's own characteristics.
With Hu Lai acting as a smoothing agent, the Chinese team safely spent the last few days of training.
Next, it is time to announce the twenty-three candidates who can participate in the World Cup.

The alarm clock woke Wang Yuan up from bed.
She opened her eyes suddenly and felt her heart beating violently.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was a normal physiological reaction after being woken up, or whether it was because of the nightmare she had just had.
In the dream, her son was injured in the last training session and was not included in the 23-man roster of the Chinese team for the World Cup.
Although when her son returned to China to participate in the training camp, she really hoped that his son would not be selected into the list of twenty-three people to avoid being targeted.
But later, the idea of hoping for his son to participate in the World Cup still prevailed.
Her husband never participated in a World Cup during his playing career. This became an eternal regret in his career.
She hopes that her son can go to the World Cup instead of her father, which may improve the relationship between father and son.
Especially after seeing the warm-up match between the Chinese team and the American team, her hope increased even more.
Maybe my son can really go to the World Cup?
In fact, she had asked her husband in a subtle way, but every time she was retorted by her husband with "That's the head coach's business, I can't control it."
Who asked you to be a lobbyist? I’m just asking about your son’s training performance...
After a while, her violently beating heart finally calmed down. Wang Yuan sat up, took out her mobile phone, and opened the live broadcast channel of "Goal" website.
The Chinese Football Association is about to release the list of the 23-man Chinese team that will participate in the 2030 World Cup in Spain and Portugal.
Before the official start of the press conference, a highlight performance of the Chinese team in the top 12 games was played.
About five minutes.
It contains various classic shots of Chinese team players in the top 12 matches, such as goals, passing, defense, saves...
Basically, it shows the national team’s journey in the top 12 in a very comprehensive way.
The video is of a very high standard, and the pictures and the rhythm of the music complement each other perfectly, and it will definitely make many people excited to watch it.
But Wang Yuan didn't care at all. She muttered: "It's so fancy, hurry up and start!"
After playing the highlight video, there is another advertisement.
After the commercial ends, there is a video of the press conference.
The name of each selected player will be read out by the national team leader Hong Renjie.
Every time he reads a name, he will immediately show a wonderful shot of the player wearing the national jersey.
In this very ceremonial way, all the national football players participating in the World Cup are introduced.
During the last World Cup, when the national team announced its twenty-three-man roster, there was not even a live broadcast, let alone a video.
Just a quick message.
Wang Yuan still thinks that is better, because she can quickly find the keywords, instead of having to suffer like a slow stew like now.
"Goalkeeper, No. 1 Lin Zhiyuan!"
After Hong Renjie read out the name, the live broadcast cut to Lin Zhiyuan's wonderful save in the top 12.
As he flew into the air, the football was saved from the bottom line.
At the same time, the picture was frozen, and his figure was cut out alone, appearing on the red and gold background board, and his name and number were printed next to him:
No. 1, Lin Zhiyuan
Even Wang Yuan, who is impatient to wait, has to admit that such an announcement method can give every player selected for the twenty-three player list a sense of honor.
She couldn't help but start to long for her son's appearance in this picture...
No, what if you can’t choose?
Wang Yuan reminded herself not to lose her character.
She readjusted her expression and continued to follow the live broadcast.
In fact, she didn't have to wait long, because her son was a central defender and was included in the ranks of defenders.
After the three goalkeeper quotas were announced, the defenders were next.
"Guard Guard No. 15, Wang Guangwei."
"No. 6, Liu Yan."
It is obvious that Hong Renjie announced the list of defenders starting from the central defender.
Wang Yuan's heart clenched and she didn't dare to take a breath.
But she also knew that if she extended her head and drew back the knife, the knife would fall soon.
She clutched the phone tightly in her hand, not daring to blink.
"No. 4, Mao Junzheng."
"No. 3, Cai Shuyi."
Sure enough, the first four places were exactly as predicted online.
Only one spot left!
"No. 5, Qin Qi."
Wang Yuan collapsed on the bed.
