It was already the afternoon of the last day of August when the Li Zhao brothers came to the Portuguese national team to report. Compared with the first time they came here, they were much more familiar with everything here, so they were very familiar with all the procedures.

It was done. After putting away their luggage, the two of them knocked on the door of the head coach's office. Although the door was not closed at the moment, the proper etiquette still had to be observed.

"Come in!" Coach Santos responded after looking up at them.

"Hello, Mr. Santos! Well, hello to you too, Mr. Luis!" Li Zhao also spotted Figo sitting next to Santos. Although he often called him "cousin" in the past, in a place like the national team,

You still need to use formal titles.

Figo was discussing with Santos how to coordinate the appearance arrangements of these players, and he naturally saw Li Zhao and the others, but he just smiled and nodded at them, and then continued to work hard.

There seems to be a lot of copywriting in it, and I guess I won’t be able to get out of it for a while.

"Do you need help?" Leonard couldn't help but asked after seeing Figo busy.

"Don't worry about me, it's mainly because Old Sangtou has something to do with you." After Figo finished saying this, he stopped replying, so it became a conversation between Santos and the two of them.

"You're welcome. This is the second time we've met, so we don't count as strangers. Originally there was no need to call you over, but not long ago our National Olympic Football Committee found us and said they were watching.

After seeing your performance, I am very interested. In addition, your age does meet the requirements, so I hope that I will be the matchmaker. If possible, you will be selected into this Olympic team at the same time.

, and is very hopeful to participate in next year's Rio Olympics. Of course, success or failure depends on your intentions. Although I can't influence your decision, from a purely personal perspective, I still hope you can participate.

, after all, such an opportunity is really rare, and many people miss it and regret it." After some pleasantries, Santos went straight to the topic.

"This~, can you allow us to think about it again?" Li Zhao responded after a brief exchange with Leonard.

"You do need time to think about this matter carefully, but there is not much time left for you. You must give me a reply before the end of September at the latest. Of course, don't think that everything will be OK if you agree.

If you do not perform up to standard in the regular competitions of the national team or the club team before the Olympics, they can also kick you out at any time. For the time being, I have nothing else to do here." Santos reminded again.

"Okay, let's go back then." After hearing what the coach meant, Li Zhao and Leonard consciously left.

"Train well, I'm looking forward to your performance." Santos finally said.

After seeing off the Li Zhao brothers, Santos turned to look at Figo with an unkind look.

"Why are you looking at me?" Figo finally stopped what he was doing, and it was finally over for the time being.

"Okay, Louis, you really know how to play football. Don't say nonsense like you won't participate. Originally you agreed to this matter, and I was counting on you to help me speak up. But now you are

You look like it's none of your business, what are you trying to do?" Santos frowned.

"Old Sangtou, don't mind. I still want the children to make their own choices in this matter, and I don't want to put unnecessary pressure on them because of me." Figo argued.

"You've said all kinds of beautiful things. I can't tell if you're just a little careful? You're afraid that things may backfire and you won't come to Taiwan. Okay, I won't argue with you, but I want to hear what you think about this.

Judging from the opinions of the two little guys, they should agree," Santos said.

"Leonard is fine, the biggest variable is Li Zhao." Figo said.

"In the past, when he still had the nationality of country C, he might not have considered it, but now it shouldn't be a big problem, and he still gives me the impression that he is quite honest, and he should be a responsible person." Santos said with some confusion.

"There should be a high chance of joining, but if you say he is honest, it is not necessarily true. Don't be deceived by his performance. He is indeed honest, or rather, honest, because that is his moral essence. But

It's wrong to be honest, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become what he is now." Figo explained.

Many people tend to confuse the concepts of honesty and honesty, but although the two are somewhat similar, they are two different concepts.

"Honest but dishonest? Interesting!" Santos became even more interested.

In fact, the originator of this evaluation was not Figo, but Xu Genbao. Figo only noticed it after hearing him mention it once. From this point, it can be seen that Xu Genbao's unique vision of people.

On the other hand, the Li Zhao brothers also spend more time on the training ground on weekdays, focusing on training in cooperation with the team members in order to produce a good chemical reaction as soon as possible.

On September 1st, after finishing the morning training, they applied to the coach and Li Zhao and his two brothers were finally able to watch the C national team's last East Asian Cup game. The radio equipment used for connection was brought by Figo.

The Beijing time at that time was exactly 8 pm.

In an earlier match between two brotherly countries on the East Asian Peninsula, both sides failed to score a goal and ended up in a goalless draw 0-0.

The next final battle, which starts at 8:10, is the battle between China and Japan. It is the most critical match that attracts everyone's attention.

With the huge victory in the last game, the current C national team is indeed not afraid of any opponents in the group and basically follows the previous lineup. Of course, there are also several members of Wang Ziyi and his group who have been

In the end, he failed to get a chance to play, especially as the goalkeeper position was still No. 1 Wang Dalei, which also made Dana quite depressed.

This year's Japanese team is indeed average in strength, currently at the bottom with a record of one draw and one loss. But this is not the real strength of the Japanese team. It is mainly related to their insufficient attention to this event. Many

No capable players were involved, and the most threatening player on the team was Yuki Muto on the striker.

If Team C can defeat its opponent in this game, it can finally win the championship. After the game started, Team C basically took the initiative on the court and completely suppressed its opponent for a time.

In the 11th minute of the game, Zhang Yuning, who was playing for the first time, successfully countered offside, and Hu Jinghang's pass reached his feet at the right time. The latter did not waste this single-handed opportunity to help the Chinese team take the lead.

Then in the 28th minute of the game, Gao Lin's long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper Dongguchi Junzhao, but Wu Lei just caught the opportunity and grabbed the supplementary shot before the opponent's defender. 2-0,

Team C won another victory.

However, the Japanese team obviously would not give in and was always looking for opportunities to counterattack. In the last period of the first half, the C national team's defense slackened and made big mistakes. This was a rare opportunity.

He was caught by the opponent. In the 42nd minute, Yuki Muto stole the ball in the backcourt of the C national team and rushed into the penalty area. After passing defender Feng Xiaoting, he raised his foot and shot. The football entered the goal after breaking through the fingers of goalkeeper Wang Dalei.

, making the final score before the end of the first half 2-1.

After Wang Ziyi was assigned to the center position in the second half, his offensive power was fully unleashed. He used his powerful ball to test the Japanese goalkeeper many times, and successfully penetrated the opponent's goal in the 62nd minute of the game.

Two minutes later, he scored with a header in the penalty area, but the goal was eventually disallowed because of a pressing foul. After that, the Japanese team even used multi-person defense to barely restrain it.

Although Wang Ziyi is a threat, his occasional outbursts will still make the other party feel frightened.

In the following games, Team C still took the initiative, but failed to score again. The final score of 3-1 was maintained until the end, and Team C once again won the long-lost championship.

I originally thought that after finishing the East Asian Cup schedule, Wang Ziyi and the others were very tired, but unexpectedly, Li Zhao received a call from them that night.

"Hey, Brother Zhao. We won the last final and won the East Asian Cup championship. I unexpectedly won the personal award of the top scorer. It's a pity that you are not here this time, otherwise this award will definitely be

It's yours." Wang Ziyi said excitedly on the phone.

"My cousin and I both saw your game, so you must be very happy too!" Li Zhao responded.

"That's not entirely the case. It's just like someone felt very sorry that he didn't play in a single game. He said it was better to stay in the club." The person Wang Ziyi mentioned was referring to Dyna, and

Li Zhao naturally understood this.

"After playing in the East Asian Cup, your journey is over. It is estimated that there will be no similar call-ups for a long time. At least until the end of the season next year, you can play in the club with peace of mind, so you have to work harder.

Okay. My brother and I don’t want you to be so idle. We estimate that we will have to travel back and forth between the national team and the club team in the future, and we will be even busier next year." Li Zhao was also quite helpless.

"Brother Zhao, you two have to work hard too. While you are away from the club, we will try our best to support the team, at least not to let the record drop." Wang Ziyi suddenly made a solemn promise.
Chapter completed!
