The teammates suddenly shouted at the phone screen.
His voice also attracted the attention of other teammates, and everyone turned to look at a young man sitting there.
"Rong Yi Niubi! I'm going to participate in the World Cup!"
Everyone congratulated and booed.
Amid the shouting, Rong Yi, who was also looking at his mobile phone, shook his head: "It's just a training camp for 50 people. We are still far away from actually participating in the World Cup."
Even though he said this, he still had an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Teammates also said: "Hey, that's what I said. But being able to participate in the fifty-man training camp means that you are one of the fifty best players in the country. There are so many players in our country who can become the best forwards."
Fifty is a big deal. And how old are you? Twenty years old!"
"That is, when you go to the training camp, don't think about other things. Practice hard and strive to participate in the World Cup, even if it is just to make soy sauce?"
"It's very good. Together with Rong Yi, our Flash Star has four people selected into the 50-man roster this time. This ratio is quite high."
Everyone in the locker room started a passionate discussion on this topic.
Today, the head coach of the Chinese national team, Qin Lin, announced the 50-man "audition" roster. This is a very important day for Chinese players.
Although everyone knows that participating in the "audition" does not mean that you will definitely be able to participate in the World Cup, but there is still a chance - no matter how high the probability is, it is always possible.
But if you are just a player who plays domestically and has not studied abroad, then not being able to participate in the "audition" means that you will definitely miss the World Cup.
In fact, before the Chinese team participated in continental competitions such as the World Cup and Asian Cup, there was no "audition training". All training was done together.
This was done after more and more players went abroad to study.
The person who pioneered it was Jorge Dillon, the former head coach of the Chinese team.
Before the 2031 Asian Cup, Dillon creatively proposed this plan. The first purpose is to expand and strengthen the reserve force of the national football team, and the second purpose is because more and more players are studying abroad, and the time of the European League
It is not as easy to adjust as the domestic league, and it is easy to have uneven personnel during training.
For example, during the training camp before the World Cup four years ago, the Chinese team was not full for almost half of the training time.
After Dillon put forward this suggestion, some people also questioned whether this would lengthen the training time, make players more likely to fatigue, and also conflict with the Chinese Super League schedule.
However, Dillon said that although it seemed that one training session had been added, the training efficiency had actually improved due to the regular staffing and adjustments to the training content, so the second phase of training did not take too long and the total duration did not increase much.
Within a completely acceptable range.
In addition, this can greatly enhance the enthusiasm of domestic players and avoid the separation between domestic players and overseas players, thereby affecting the atmosphere of unity within the national team.
As long as domestic players can see the upward path and make their sense of competition stronger, many conflicts can be resolved.
Before the 2031 Asian Cup, it was the first time that Dillon implemented the "audition" strategy.
The effect is very good.
The Chinese team united as one, and finally defeated the Japanese team, won the Asian Cup at their home court, and became the new Asian hegemon.
Dillon's doing this has indeed effectively increased the sense of participation of domestic players. Regardless of whether you can be selected for the national team and participate in the Asian Cup. At least the head coach has given them a chance to prove themselves. If you are not selected, it will only
You can say it's your own problem and you can't blame others.
And if he is selected, he will naturally only thank the head coach for giving him this opportunity.
Performance in the league is certainly important in normal times, but training sessions when the competition is approaching can better screen out players who have been in better form recently.
Because of the successful precedent of the Asian Cup, Chinese players are now full of expectations for the "audition" training before the World Cup.
No one would think that this is just a formality, a pretense. In fact, the candidates have already been chosen for a show.
In the heated discussion, some people are also continuing to study the list of candidates for this "audition" training.
After all, there are as many as fifty people on the list, so it is not easy to find the name you are looking for in it.
As they watched, someone suddenly exclaimed:
"Why is Brother Huan also on this list?!"

"Today, the Chinese team announced the roster for the first 50-man training camp. It is worth noting that a name we are very familiar with appears on this roster - Zhang Qinghuan. As a member of the team established by Jorge Dillon,
In the new tradition, the 50-man training camp is mainly targeted at domestic players. Overseas players like Zhang Qinghuan directly participate in the second phase of the 35-man training camp. So when Zhang Qinghuan appears on the 50-man training list
After that, it immediately aroused widespread attention and some controversy... Faced with those controversial voices, the head coach of the Chinese team Qin Lin clarified and explained in an interview with our reporter..."
Qin Lin's original voice: "...In the last round of La Liga, we went to Barcelona and interviewed Zhang Qinghuan. I told him this decision in advance. In fact, the reason why he was allowed to participate in the first phase of domestic training was mainly because of the
He doesn’t have much game time this season and needs to find his normal rhythm and feeling as soon as possible, so there is no need to wait until the second phase of training before joining..."
Reporter: "What did Zhang Qinghuan say at that time?"
Qin Lin: "He? He had no objection. He agreed without hesitation."
Newscaster: "... After the list of 50 players was announced, Zhang Qinghuan posted a photo of himself wearing the Chinese team's jersey on his Weibo account, with the text: 'Give everything you have, try your best.'
It seems to be a response to those disputes...
"In fact, everyone is so sensitive to this matter and has such a big reaction because since the injury, Zhang Qinghuan not only lost his position in the club, but also lost his position in the national team. Now the national team uses more 442
Tactically, Hu Lai and Zhou Zijing partnered as the starting forward, and among the four midfielders, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai were separated on the left and right, with Xia Xiaoyu and Ou Yangjin in the middle - this is the main configuration of the national team's midfielder most of the time. If
If you insist on 442, it will be really difficult to find Zhang Qinghuan's position.
"But I think most people still hope that Zhang Qinghuan, a veteran of the national football team, can participate in this World Cup, which can be regarded as a successful conclusion to his World Cup career..."
※※※
Rong Yi and three other teammates from his club arrived at the Hongfengling training base in the capital where this "audition" will be held.
Today, all the national players participating in the training camp have come here from all over the country to report and gather.
They will start training the next day.
When Rong Yi was going through the check-in procedures, there was a sudden noise behind him.
I also vaguely heard someone shouting loudly: "Brother Huan!"
Rong Yi quickly signed his name, took the room card from the staff, put down his pen, and turned around to look back.
He saw the crowd quickly gathering in one place. Among the crowds, he saw through the gaps between the layers a face that was very familiar to fans across the country.
It is Zhang Qinghuan, No. 10 of the national team!
Everyone’s “Brother Huan”.
Zhang Qinghuan, who was surrounded by the crowd, was constantly greeting the players who were surrounding him.
Obviously, he is the well-deserved number one star in this 50-person training roster.
No matter what speculation the outside world has about why he participated in this "audition" training, now he has indeed appeared in front of everyone.
He really came to participate in the "audition".
Zhang Qinghuan stepped forward to sign in. After completing the sign-in, he got his own room card.
After glancing at the room number on the room card, he saw the room card in the hand of Rong Yi, who was standing next to him, and then laughed:
"Hey, roommate!"
Rong Yi didn't react at first. He was stunned for about a second or two, and then he suddenly picked up the room card that he hadn't looked at since he received it.
It says room number: 1205
At this time, Zhang Qinghuan smiled beside him and said: "Me too, 1205. You don't snore when you sleep, right?"
Rong Yi quickly shook his head: "No fight, no fight..."
"Then you're tired, let me snore." After saying this, Zhang Qinghuan burst into laughter.
Rong Yi followed him and laughed slightly reluctantly.
He smiled reluctantly because the boss told a joke, and it seemed impolite not to laugh. But let him laugh... He really has no intention of laughing now.
His mind is full of questions:
Brother Huan’s state is different from what everyone thinks!
※※※
Although he was able to be roommates with Brother Huan, Rong Yi gained the "envy and jealousy" of other teammates and satisfied his young vanity.
But when he was actually alone in the room with Brother Huan, Rong Yi still inevitably fell into feelings of anxiety and embarrassment.
He had never had contact with Brother Huan before, although Brother Huan's name was well known and his deeds were already familiar to him.
Suddenly becoming a roommate with such a legendary idol in Chinese football, Rong Yi really didn't know how to get along...
If you don't say anything, will it make Brother Huan feel like you don't care about him? Is it difficult to get along with him?
But what should I say?
He and Brother Huan are not familiar at all...
Rong Yi even thought about finding an excuse to go out and continue to stay in the room with Brother Huan. He could probably dig out a two-bedroom apartment with his toes.
At this moment, Zhang Qinghuan spoke first: "Speaking of which, I've known you for a long time, but today is the first time I've met you."
Rong Yi was so shocked by these words that he ignored his previous delicate mental activities and asked curiously: "Brother Huan, have you known about me for a long time?"
Since he played in the first team of Flash Star and performed well, he has become more or less the number one figure in Chinese football. Otherwise, he would not have been selected by Qin Lin to be included in the 50-man training list.
.
But even with what happened in the past year, he would never be so arrogant that he thought he would be able to enter Brother Huan's sight very early.
"You, Hu Lai and Xiaoyu are all alumni. I heard about you from them." Zhang Qinghuan explained to him.
Rong Yi suddenly realized it, but then he was a little flattered: he didn't expect the two seniors Hu Lai and Xia Xiaoyu to know about him...
To be honest, his career at Dongchuan Middle School was not very outstanding, not even as good as his junior Huang Changyu. After all, the latter brought the Dongchuan Middle School football team to the final stage of the national competition.
And he himself only brought Dongchuan Middle School to the quarterfinals of the national competition.
Zhang Qinghuan asked again: "You played as a forward in Dongchuan Middle School, and now you play as an offensive midfielder in the club?"
Rong Yi nodded quickly, making sure that Brother Huan really knew him and was not just saying something superficial to relieve his embarrassment and nervousness.
After all, how could someone who didn't really know him know his position on the court in middle school?
"Offensive midfielder, um..." Zhang Qinghuan thought for a moment and then said something that made Rong Yi change his mind:
"Then we are competitors!"
Seeing Rong Yi's frightened look, Zhang Qinghuan laughed loudly: "We can be considered teammates after all. Four people from Flash Star came this time, which is not a small number. In terms of training players, our coach Zhao is really good at training players."
Awesome.”
Hearing Brother Huan praise the head coach of Shining Star, Rong Yi suddenly remembered the questions he had always had in his heart. Now that he had the opportunity, he couldn't help but raise it:
"Brother Huan, will you come back to Flashing Star?"
Zhang Qinghuan did not answer immediately, but took a deep look at Rong Yi, and then asked him: "Rong Yi, how old are you this year?"
"I'm twenty. I'll be twenty-one in October." Rong Yi replied.
"You're only twenty...You're already the main force of Flashing Star at such a young age. The fine tradition of Flashing Star has been maintained very well...So Rong Yi, look at a thirty-four-year-old 'veteran' like me going to Flashing Star."
Are you going to play in the game?" Zhang Qinghuan pointed at himself and asked.
Rong Yi looked at the wrinkles on Brother Huan's face and opened his mouth, but did not give an answer.
