Luo Kai was surprised when he received a call from national team coach Shi Wuyuan.
Shi Wuyin heard Luo Kai's surprise on the other end of the phone and asked, "Why are you talking like this? Didn't you expect me to call you?"
"Yes, Director Shi...I let you down..." Luo Kai said in a low tone on the phone.
But Shi Wuyin laughed: "I'm disappointed that you've been to Veronica for almost three months and haven't played a few games yet? Don't make a mistake, Luo Kai. Not everyone can be like Hu Lai.
You can adapt to a strange environment at the speed of light when you go abroad. So in fact, you are the normal performance of most of our Chinese players who go abroad to study abroad. Since it is a normal performance, why should I be disappointed?"
Luo Kai could tell that Director Shi was trying to comfort and encourage him. He quickly said: "Thank you, Director Shi, for taking your trouble..."
"Anyway, you will go through this test when you go out. Language test, living habits test, diet test, personality test... Football itself is the least important test. You can go out in advance to adapt, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Besides, if you receive high-level training in Europe, you can still make progress..." Shi Wuyin changed the topic after saying, "I am calling you this time to inform you that on March 19th and 2nd
On the 13th, the Chinese team has two warm-up matches, which are played in Europe. So you don’t need to go back to China, just go directly to Paris to join us."
"Eh? Can I still be selected for the national team under Shi's guidance?"
"Hey, that's what you said! The purpose of the warm-up match is to test the player's condition. I need to test your condition, so why can't you be selected for the national team? Whether you can participate in the World Cup depends on your performance..."
When Luo Kai, who was originally in a low mood, heard these words, he immediately cheered up and replied loudly: "Don't worry, Director Shi, I will definitely give my best performance!"
"Okay, as long as you say this."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Kai was still immersed in the excitement of being recognized by the head coach.
The reason why he is depressed is because he feels that based on his performance in Veronica, it may be difficult to get called up by the national team again. In this way, it is unknown whether he can participate in the World Cup. When he went to play abroad, he originally hoped that he could play in the national team.
Before the World Cup, seize the time to improve yourself so that you can perform better in the World Cup.
Unexpectedly, it has been almost three months since he came to Veronica, and he has only had two opportunities to play as a substitute, with a total playing time of less than 20 minutes.
Every time I feel like my body hasn’t even warmed up yet, the race is over, and naturally I can’t even talk about any performance.
With such a performance, how could he be selected for the national team again?
How can we impress Director Shi and give him the opportunity to participate in the World Cup?
When he thought that he might not be able to participate in the World Cup, Luo Kai felt extremely depressed.
But who can blame it?
When I heard that I could go abroad to play football, I forgot about everything else. I just thought about getting out as soon as possible, but I never thought that the scenery I would see after I came out was completely different from the scenery I had longed for at home.
There are some details that you would never have thought of until you went abroad. Only after you go abroad do you realize that the biggest problems are those that you don't care about.
But he chose the road by himself. If he had to go back crying and shouting, he, Luo Kai, couldn't afford to lose that person.
So we reached an impasse...
It wasn't until he received a call from Director Shi today that he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment as the dark clouds were cleared to see the sun.
It seems as if those hard days are in the past and there is a bright future waiting for you ahead.
Luo Kai secretly made up his mind to seize this last opportunity and perform better in the club.
He is different today from before. After nearly three months of learning, his language has improved greatly. Now he can have simple daily communication with his teammates.
After overcoming the initial psychological difficulties, he gradually took the initiative to interact with his new teammates.
He believes that as long as these obstacles other than football are removed one by one, with his own strength, he will definitely be able to occupy a place in this team. After his observations in training and games, he is confident that his level will be on this team.
It's not bad. It's just that his teammates and coaches don't know him well enough and don't trust him.
The more Luo Kai thought about it, the better he felt. He put down his phone and was about to do another set of planks. At this moment, he suddenly thought of what Director Shi said at the beginning:
"Don't make any mistake, Luo Kai. Not everyone can be like Hu Lai..."
He was stunned on the spot.
Of course he knew that Director Shi was comforting and liberating himself. But no matter how he heard these words, he felt that he was not as good as Hu Lai...
The good mood I had just felt suddenly faded a lot.

"Xiao Shi, do you really think you can make progress in Europe without playing games and only receiving training?" Li Zhifei asked Shi Wuyin who had just hung up the phone.
"Of course it's impossible. How can we make progress without playing games and only training?" Shi Wuyuan replied, "But what do you want me to say to Luo Kai? 'That's right, you're wasting your time if you don't play all day and just train.
Life and talent? Besides, even if Luo Kai can't play in Veronica until the end of the season, we still have to recruit him. Who said our Chinese team only has so many talents now?
Are you qualified to be picky?"
Having said this, Shi Wuyuan sighed.
Tatsuya Sugiyama, who was originally the main player of the Japanese Olympic team, later moved to the Bundesliga giants Munich Blue and White. However, because he did not play many games in Munich Blue and White this season, it is now reported that he may not be selected for the Japanese World Cup team.
list argument.
That's Tatsuya Sugiyama, one of the best young players in Japan, but he might not even be selected for the national team's World Cup squad.
The Japanese team has such confidence because there are so many football talents in Japan, with more than 50 overseas players, there is no need to worry about no one being selected.
But not the Chinese team. Even if Luo Kai can't play in Veronica, he is still a player who has studied abroad and has seen the world. Who else can you choose if you don't choose him?
"Besides, Lao Li... I also hope that the national team game can help Luo Kai find the feeling of the game and regain his confidence. This will also be of great help to his club performance. He feels unfamiliar in Veronica, but in
The familiar environment and tactics of the national team will help him perform well... In short, it is not easy for our players to play abroad. All of them are pioneers. If we have the conditions, we can help as much as we can..."
"You said it's not easy, so why don't I find it difficult for Hu Lai?" Li Zhifei asked with a frown.
Shi Wuyin waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. How can you, an outsider, see whether someone is working hard or not? Do you want others to expose all the difficulties in daily life?"
Li Zhifei nodded when he heard this: "That's true... I only saw thieves eating meat, but I didn't see thieves being beaten. Behind the glory of that kid Hu Lai, he must have suffered a lot..."
"So, no one has it easy. It's just that Hu Lai hid all the hardships he went through with laughter. But Luo Kai is not good at hiding it..."

"Wang Guangwei! Wang Guangwei is coming!"
The Anton Provincial Sports Center was buzzing with people, and the Anton Satellite TV commentator was almost drowned in the loud shouts.
A player on the court is dribbling the ball forward, wearing an eye-catching captain's armband on his arm. It is the team's center back Wang Guangwei!
He was trying to bring the football to the right, but when faced with Gao Ruimin who was guarding him, he suddenly turned to the left. Then he passed the football to Xia Xiaoyu, who was pulling aside to meet him.
After passing the ball, he did not slow down, but continued to rush forward, straight into the penalty area of Capital Tamron!
When Xia Xiaoyu received the ball, his back was facing the direction of the attack. He made a move to pass the football and turned to the left. After deceiving the defensive player behind him to turn that way, he suddenly used his right foot to roll the football over again.
He hooked it back, then turned to the left side of his body.
Just like this, he passed by Tamron's defensive players.
His beautiful turn around and escape once again won him deafening cheers from the stands.
Next, after Xia Xiaoyu adjusted the football, he did not dribble forward, but directly kicked off... and passed the ball!
He picked up the football and kicked it towards the right rib of the penalty area.
That's where Wang Guangwei came in. He rushed forward without slowing down. When Xia Xiaoyu passed the ball, he just broke through the Tenglong team's defense, and then jumped high!
Push the football flying in the air horizontally towards the goal!
"Zhang Qinghuan! Beautiful!!"
Amidst the shouts of the commentator, Zhang Qinghuan in front of the goal leaned sideways, kicked the football flying in the air into the goal of the capital city Tenglong!
The cheers above the Provincial Sports Center reached its peak.
"In the 82nd minute of the game, Zhang Qinghuan's goal helped Dianxing seal the victory! Facing the old team, Zhang Qinghuan struck hard and showed no mercy! Dianxing is about to win two consecutive games at the beginning of the new season!"
"Wang Guangwei was also very important in this goal. His sudden forward movement completely disrupted the defense of Tenglong in the capital... For the sudden extra Wang Guangwei, Tenglong didn't know who to defend... Since he was in the national team
After rushing forward to assist Hu Lai and scoring the key goal, Wang Guangwei seemed to be obsessed with this style of playing from the back line into the opponent's penalty area. Wang Guangwei, who has excellent physical fitness, does have the conditions to do this. As a central defender, he is very fast.
It’s fast, it’s not bulky, and there’s work underfoot...”
After scoring the goal, Zhang Qinghuan ran to find Wang Guangwei. The two hugged each other, and at the same time hooked Xia Xiaoyu, signaling him to come up and celebrate.
More teammates rushed up to hug them and celebrate their lead at the last minute.
※※※
After the game, Wang Guangwei went to comfort the National Olympic team who was in a bad mood after the loss. Gao Ruimin, a double teammate of the national team, did not appreciate it. He opened his eyes wide and angrily yelled: "Old Wang, you don't have martial ethics! You idiot!"
The central defender rushed up and fucked me!"
Wang Guangwei smiled and said nothing. Zhang Qinghuan next to him said with a smile: "Then I can only blame you for your inexperience. The last goal the national team played against Paraguay was not Lao Wang's assist, why did you forget it?"
Gao Ruimin has always regarded Zhang Qinghuan as his idol. Now that his idol has criticized him, he naturally cannot attack him back, so he can only lower his head in depression.
Zhang Qinghuan hugged his shoulders again when he saw this: "Okay, okay, we have to go to the national team next, and you and Lao Wang will be teammates by then..."
Gao Ruimin couldn't hold back: "That's even worse, Brother Huan. Every time Lao Wang goes up, I have to wipe his butt from behind!"
Zhang Qinghuan laughed and patted Gao Ruimin hard.
Looking at the footage of players from the two teams coming together to communicate, the commentator said:
"After the end of this round of the Chinese Super League, the league will be temporarily suspended to make way for the national team. These players who were still fighting in the league just now will go to the national team to report. They will set off to Europe for training and warm-up matches to prepare for June.
World Cup... I wish them good luck, and I also wish Chinese football good luck!"
