Chapter 526 The Light of China
In the past few days, many Manchester City players have returned to the national team to participate in national team competitions. ̄︶︺asんц家. %abcxslā
Xu Qi stayed because he was not a member of the national team, and the Chinese national team did not have any serious competitions now.
However, this is indeed a bit embarrassing. He is the best player in Europe and the absolute main player of the Champions League team. He has never had a single game in the national team.
Aguero was also training with Xu Qi. He had already entered the Argentina team's recruitment list, but before leaving, his health was in some bad condition and he finally chose to withdraw.
And this is also a considerable pressure for Aguero.
Aguero felt very sad when Argentina lost to Germany in the World Cup final. Moreover, his poor performance in the final also caused him to take the blame, while the other half was carried by Higuain.
Therefore, Aguero also hopes that he can return to the national team to participate in the competition after a while.
After all, in recent times, the national team competitions of South American players have basically been warm-up matches.
Many Argentina's main members, including Messi, have not returned to the national team.
...
In early September, Chinese leaders visited the UK.
After two days in London, the leader came to Manchester accompanied by the British Prime Minister.
As a fan, Chinese leaders naturally choose to visit Manchester clubs, and having Xu Qi, the Manchester City club, which is currently the leader in the Premier League, naturally became his choice.
Manchester City's senior management naturally attaches great importance to such a major event. At the same time, players including Xu Qi and Aguero also accompanied two major figures in today's political circles to visit the club.
Among them, Xu Qi and Aguero also took selfies with the two of them, which seemed quite casual.
As China's top star, the leader also talked to Xu Qi about Chinese football in front of many media.
He expressed his hope that there would be an outstanding player in the Chinese national team like Xu Qi. Regarding the impulsive things that Xu Qi had done before, he said that young people would be impulsive, and if they were corrected, they would be good.
He even commented on Xu Qi as the "Light of China".
This is a great honor. When this high hat is worn on Xu Qi's head, it means that Xu Qi is already a superstar with global influence.
Hearing such words, Xu Qi was full of smiles. He also expressed that he was willing to play for the national team, but he had never had a chance.
"Okay, Xiao Xu, if the Chinese national team had three players like you, our national team could not try the World Cup!" the leader praised.
"Why do we need three? As long as our team can form a whole and do a good job in defense. On the offensive end, I am enough! Even the world champion German team, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Xu Qi's answer was quite confident.
After hearing Xu Qi's answer, the leader praised Xu Qi for being confident and being the example of young people!
...
The conversation between the two and the selfies of Xu Qi and the two heads of state were quickly spread on major social platforms.
People praised it as "the strongest selfie of the year".
Media from all sides began to discuss this matter, and they even defined it as a precursor to Xu Qi's return to the national team.
After all, the leaders said that the punishment of expelling national teams in the past was impulse when young and the punishment of expelling national teams should be over now.
If you don’t revoke the punishment and summon Xu Qi again, it will be helpless.
All Chinese fans are looking forward to the arrival of this day at all times. They are imagining what would be like if the national team had a player as awesome as Xu Qi.
After all, Guangzhou Evergrande has become much stronger with those foreign players whose abilities and value are not comparable to Xu Qi. If the Chinese national football team has Xu Qi, at least it must be stronger.
Some people are yelling to ask the Football Association to plan those super foreign players, but now, is Xu Qi not much better than those foreign players?
Besides, he is a native Chinese!
At this time, the Football Association naturally responded quickly, and in this regard, their efficiency seemed to be quite fast.
First of all, the official Weibo of the Chinese Football Association also reposted the photo and showed goodwill to Xu Qi, expressing his hope of seeing Xu Qi in the national team.
The Football Association immediately announced that the ban on Xu Qi in the national team would be officially cancelled from now on.
Of course, they did not think that this was enough. Many relevant personnel from the Football Association were ready to set off for the UK to discuss with Xu Qi about Xu Qi's return to the national team next.
They even plan to set up a special contribution award for Chinese football at the final award ceremony after the Chinese Super League this year and then award it to Xu Qi.
The Football Association is able to do this, not only because of the pressure from this incident. In fact, the AFC and the World Football Federation have also expressed their dissatisfaction with handling something that happened a few years ago to the Chinese Football Association.
Especially for the AFC, the Asian Cup will be held in Australia by winter.
This event plays a crucial role in the promotion of Asian football around the world. Now, although players such as Kagawa Shinji from Japan, Keiyuki Honda and Sun Xingmin from South Korea are barely able to support the store.
But players of their level may not be able to reach their so-called global influence.
To talk about global influence, it depends on Xu Qi now, especially before the Asian Cup starts. If Xu Qi happens to win the Golden Globe Award and plays as a Chinese national team player, the influence of this event will be greatly enhanced.
At that time, even many European and even American TV stations will be willing to broadcast this Asian Cup event.
And how crazy the huge Chinese market will become, let alone.
So they have started to beat the Chinese Football Association six months in advance, hoping that the Chinese national team can recruit Xu Qi.
Under pressure from many aspects, the Football Association will naturally start operating.
Fortunately, Xu Qi is indeed outstanding enough and has performed enough to prove his strength and influence. If Xu Qi is still an unknown ordinary player, or if he sinks into this, no one in the Football Association will be willing to pay attention to him now.
This is the reality, and Xu Qi has long been used to it.
Xu Qi also seems to be very cooperative about the operation of the Football Association in this regard and does not give others face.
However, Xu Qi said that he has many competitions in Europe, and he probably doesn't have much time to train and practice together with his teammates of the national team. Moreover, the European League was still on the way during the Asian Cup, and he also hopes to leave for Australia before the game.
The Football Association also agreed to such a request.
Even for the sponsor contract that will expire at the end of the year, the Football Association has accepted a brand new sponsorship contract from Nike, but in the end it did not choose to renew the contract with Adidas.
In other words, in the Asian Cup early next year, the Chinese national team's uniform will be marked with Nike's logo.
Although Xu Qi is not the main reason for this decision, it has a lot to do with Xu Qi as the spokesperson for Nike.
In any case, by winter, Xu Qi will return to the national team.
