The miserable national youth team

This made Wang Liang scream in anger. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would break Mark's leg, even if he was fired from the national team because of this.

At the beginning of the game, since Mark and Wang Liang were both central-level forwards, the two quickly met. Wang Liang also tried to greet Mark's mistress. Mark tried his best to avoid Wang Liang's dirty movements, but the horse's movement seemed to have made Wang Liang confident, and the small movements under his feet became even more unscrupulous.

The referee's whistle sounded frequently. Yin Tiesheng warned Wang Liang not to act too much. After all, most of these people were going to France in the end. If they were injured, they would be difficult to find a substitute.

After Yin Tiesheng's warning, Wang Liang obviously did not restrain himself much, but how could Mark be so easy to bully? Mark is now waiting for a good opportunity to kill Wang Liang and not foul himself.

This good opportunity finally appeared. When the substitute team organized the attack, Wang Liang took the ball to attack. Mark suddenly appeared in front of him and broke the ball. After the ball was intercepted, Mark handed it directly to Chen Tao beside him, and then ran forward with a big strode.

When Wang Liang saw that he lost the ball, he quickly ran towards his penalty area. His current target is Mark, and he will run wherever Mark runs.

However, how could Mark's sprinting speed be so easy to catch up with. Mark ran directly to the outside of the penalty area. At this time, Chen Tao had already passed the ball to Mao Jianqing. Mao Jianqing dribbled the ball and broke through the defense on the right and then passed the ball across the penalty area with a low pitch.

Mark had already jumped up at this time. Mark was preparing to make an inverted shot. Mark directly hit the football. Goalkeeper Bai Xiaolei just saved the ball symbolically, but he did not reach the ball, and Mark scored a point.

At this time, when Mark was falling, Wang Liang ran over. Wang Liang's bad thoughts were moving again, because his understanding of Mark was limited to the stage when Mark was a waste defender a year ago. Wang Liang felt that Mark's physical strength must be inferior to him. If he joined him and rushed up and hit Mark directly, he would be injured if he didn't get it right. Then at that time, he not only had one competitor missing, but he could also take revenge.

"Haha, look at it, I'll teach you a lesson now." Wang Liang thought about it and jumped up and then ran into Mark with his body. Now, because Mark was in the air, his body was really in a static state.

But during the process of falling, Mark discovered that someone was thinking that he had jumped over. If ordinary people had no choice, they would have no choice about this collision. However, Mark still moved his body slightly in the air. It was this movement that made Wang Liang's power not fully utilized. Now Mark looked at Wang Liang's head and hugged his head directly and rushed towards the ground.

"Dong" Mark and Wang Liang both fell on the court. Yin Tiesheng, who was the referee, stopped the game again because he found that Wang Liang did not listen to his words at all, and he simply regarded his words as indifferent. Now he wants to maintain the authority of his head coach to teach Wang Liang a lesson.

However, he walked to Wang Liang and found that Wang Liang had fainted. It seemed that his head had hit the ground when he was falling. Yin Tiesheng was nervous immediately and quickly found a team doctor and called 120 to call an ambulance. Many coaches followed the ambulance to the hospital.

After a while at the hospital, the doctor concluded that Wang Liang had a concussion and needed to be observed in the hospital for a period of time. If he did not recover well, he might not be able to play football anymore. Wang Liang's Liaoning team's father repeatedly asked the Football Association to severely punish the murderer Mark.

But everyone at that time saw that it was Wang Liang who rushed towards Mark. Mark was just an instinctive move in the air. The headquarters couldn't say that Mark did it on purpose. Your son first made a foul on someone and asked someone to apologize and compensate you. Even if the Chinese Football Association is a fool, he can't play like this.

The Chinese Football Association has played their historical "advantage", which is to "drag", first appease Wang Liang's family, and then try to suppress the matter in the name of investigation.

Mark has no opinion on this matter. Anyway, he won’t go to Toulon at worst, and it doesn’t matter much. After staying in Xianghe for a few days, Mark saw international players coming here one after another. Since many international players have already played as the main players, the A-League in China is still in progress, four players like Feng Xiaoting, Liu Yu, Tan Wangsong and Chen Tao must be reported on the 30th before they can arrive at the team.

The Chinese team has a full understanding of the difficulty of this competition. Before leaving, the coaching team explained the current situation to the players at the team meeting. The Youth Department of the Chinese Football Association did not make any requests for the national youth team to rank in this invitational tournament. They hope that this competition can increase the national youth team's experience in international competitions.

In fact, Mark is so annoyed that these Chinese Football Association, which always holds mobilization meetings. They can hold meetings all day long. Why not do some serious things? For example, if you want some ways to improve the standards of the youth team and select more good seedlings across the country, it is also good if you go to play grass. All this time is used to hold these useless meetings. I am afraid that no player can achieve good results. You must know that these young players are famous for this. If they can really perform well in the Toulon Cup, they can gain the attention of the European League. Now there are two overseas players in the entire Xianghe River, one is Dong Fangzhuo of Manchester United and the other is Mark of Ajax.

These players regard both of them as targets of catching up, so it is not of no significance to not mobilize meetings or not. However, the Chinese Football Association has not stipulated results for this Toulon Cup match for the first time, which surprised Mark. Originally, Mark thought the Chinese Football Association was shouting to win the championship.

In fact, Mark didn't know that it was because this youth team can be said to be the most difficult youth team since the reform and opening up. The Chinese Football Association did not expect this team to achieve any number of results, so naturally there was not much investment. So the current situation is that the Chinese Football Association's youth team is regarded as a useless thing.

Now it's time to finally determine the main lineup. Since only about twenty players are required to participate in the Toulon Cup, the current national youth team is naturally a little larger. The current national youth team only needs to retain the last twenty players. The first one to be eliminated is Dong Fangzhuo. Since he came back late, there are problems with his visa application, so naturally he cannot represent the team.

The remaining three players are all non-staff players, so there is nothing to say, and the three players are also mentally prepared.

At 12:30 noon on May 31, the China Youth Team will take Air China flight Ca933 to Paris. After arriving in Paris, the China Youth Team will transfer to Toulon. It is expected that the China Youth Team will not arrive in Toulon at 23:00 local time in France.

The first round of the Toulon Cup will begin on June 1st. The Chinese team will face the first opponent of the group stage at 18:30 on June 1st, local time on June 1st. Before the game, the Chinese team not only did not have time to adapt to the venue, but also did not even have time to let the players adjust the time difference.

This is not just a game, it's like going to the market, for fear of going to a little earlier and spending more money. Mark has no choice but to do this. After all, he is just a player, and now everything has to be arranged by the idiots in the Chinese Football Association.

After everyone got on the plane together, Mark seemed to be the subject of interviews among these players. These young players envied Mark for being the main player in the Eredivisie. They also watched TV broadcasts when they were fine. They watched Mark's performance in Ajax was indeed very good, especially players like Chen Tao, Zhang Ke, Dai Qinhua, Zhu Ting, and Feng Xiaoting, who are also from Liaoning. Through their contact with Mark these days, these players also felt that Mark is indeed a very powerful player, and their offense and defense are much better than them.

So they all hope to have a good relationship with Mark. After all, playing abroad is the dream of these players. Those who can play in the European League are not only famous, money, but also everything.

Mark chatted with these players, but in fact it was nothing more than living environment abroad and other things. Of course, it was necessary to talk about women and luxury accessories. Although these players were shabby compared to Mark, they were also rich people in China with a minimum annual salary of more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of yuan, so everyone was indispensable to show off some of their famous brands and beautiful girlfriends.

"Mark, what is your annual salary in Ajax?" Feng Xiaoting asked Mark at this time and said

"I can't calculate the annual salary well. My weekly salary is about 40,000 euros," Mark said casually.

"Oh my God, I only earn 400,000 RMB a year." Chen Tao, who was sharp-eared, immediately heard Mark's voice and shouted in surprise.

These players were also attracted by Chen Tao's screams, and they all participated in the discussion. It was not until the flight attendant came forward to invite all of them back to their seats that everyone returned to their respective seats.

However, after they returned to their seats, they still discussed it all the time. This incident really surprised them because although they had watched Mark play football on TV before, they had never paid attention to Mark's annual salary. It was not until Mark said it personally that these people felt how big the gap was with Mark. The nineteen players almost didn't have much annual salary in total. What does this mean? They are all teammates of the National Youth Team, so why is the gap so big?

Mark ignored these jealous players. He brought his headphones alone and sounded pleasant music. He didn't know how long it took to arrive at Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, and then rented a bus and the Chinese National Youth Team finally arrived at the destination of Toulon.

Toulon France is the capital of Vall Province, located 65 kilometers east of Marseille, on the Mediterranean Sea in the southeast of France. Toulon is surrounded by the peninsula. The population is 179,000, including 408,000 suburbs (1982). It is the largest military port in the country. The shipbuilding industry is huge in scale, and there are industries such as ordnance, metallurgy, and machine manufacturing. There are bauxite and important passenger ports nearby. Every year, many passengers travel to Corsica, Sardinia and other islands. One of the National Center for Marine Research. It was severely damaged during World War II and was later rebuilt.

Since Toulon has about 300 days a year, the first thing he did when he got off the plane was to bring his own sunglasses to cover up the scorching heat.

The reception staff for the game had already been waiting at the airport to welcome the Chinese youth team. Everyone followed the officials of the competition to the local hotel. Mark was stunned as soon as he entered the room. The hotel was too simple, it was like a vacation house. Fortunately, Mark had no requirements for accommodation. And these domestic players did not dare to make any excessive demands. Anyway, it was the Football Association that paid the money.

"This is everyone's pocket money, each person is fifty euros." After the players settled down, officials from the Youth Department gave the players the next pocket money.

"Is this a day's pocket money? It's just a little less," Mark said with some complaints.

"This is all the pocket money in Toulon. Our funding is only 4,000 euros this time," Feng Jianming, director of the Youth Department, sighed and said to Mark.

"Ah?" Mark was stunned for a moment and said sarcastically: "Our national team youth team is really auspicious. I can imagine what kind of treatment does a youth team younger than us do when they go abroad to play games."

Feng Jianming didn't say anything after seeing Mark's slightly sarcastic words. After all, this is the fact. The current Chinese team is in this situation. He also asked the leaders of the Football Association to report this issue. However, the leaders need to hold a meeting to study before making a decision, and then there is no further information.

Everyone came to the hotel without any rest time, because the competition was going to be held that day, so everyone had a meal in the hotel. The meal was also very monotonous. The food provided by the hotel where the National Youth League was very poor, with only rice and pasta, plus a fish steak or chicken steak.

"Coach, let's have a meal at a Chinese restaurant outside. Didn't the national team go abroad for extra meals?" Mark said again.

"I can only report the food to the organizing committee now, but I don't think there is any need to add food because I don't have money," Yin Tiesheng said to Mark while eating dishes that were not as good as his appetite.

In fact, he also wanted to go for extra meals, and he couldn't get used to these things, but after all, he had no money in his hands, and the things he could solve, as the head coach of the Chinese Youth Team, all depends on the opinions of the leaders.

Since the game was about to be prepared that night, the players had no time to make the jet lag. Yin Tiesheng gathered all the players together and started training.

Because the training suits are not enough, the Chinese Youth Team can only wear the remaining matches of the Chinese Youth Team team during training. The numbers on the players are often messy, but this endurance can pass. The most unbearable thing is that the national youth team is the use of the balls even more uncomfortable. Before coming, the coaching team had learned that the new balls of Adidas would be adopted in this game. At that time, they once asked whether they could adapt to the new balls left by the National Olympic Team during training, but there was no reply. Finally, the flying fire meteors brought to France were the South Korean and Japanese World Cup.

In this state, the Chinese National Youth Team ushered in the Toulon Cup group stage Colombia. The players of the Chinese Youth Team clearly felt uncomfortable.

First of all, Colombian football style. Colombian football style is a lot of physical confrontation, and like many South American teams, there are many small movements.

The second discomfort is that it comes from football. The current game "route" is lighter than the Flying Fire Meteor and is more floating when controlled. It is very uncomfortable for the players of these youth teams.

The third discomfort is physical fitness. After all, all the players have already been running for a long distance. Although everyone has rested on the plane and locomotive, the jet lag and travel fatigue still make all the players feel a little depressed.

However, even under various difficulties, Mark still showed his superman's first-class aura and defeated Colombia with three gold-like headers three to zero, giving him a chance to breathe for the adjustment of the China Youth Team.

However, after returning to the hotel, Mark found that the hard life of the Chinese Youth Team continued, because Toulon costs 6 euros per piece of laundry. For the players who are not well funded, they can only save money. The small players have to go to the nearby coin washing machine office to wash their own clothes every day. The laundry detergent is brought by the players from China.

But these are them. Mark's money is definitely not a problem now, so Mark's life is still very good. Feng Xiaoting, who is in the same room with Mark, can also enjoy the opportunity to wash clothes without having to do it by himself. Anyway, Mark doesn't care much about this money, but Mark doesn't care about the players in other rooms.

The National Youth Team should have a game the next day, and they should have massaged and relaxed every night, but because of the quota restrictions, there is only one team doctor in the National Youth Team, and they are too busy with the treatment of the players every day and have no time to massage the players. In addition to a full-time team doctor, there are two physical therapists in the Japanese team who specialize in massage and relaxing for the players.

Moreover, although the Chinese Youth Team applied to the event organizer and the food has been improved, the variety is still very single. In fact, this is also a common problem in foreign hotels. After all, the Chinese team is not a well-known team, so there is no need for the Chinese team to prepare a set of delicacies that Chinese players like because of your Chinese team.

This is only possible for Chinese people to do. Foreign athletes come to China to eat yours while calling you a lot of money. They will not be grateful for the fact that you have prepared so many national chefs, so many delicacies, and so many excellent service for them. Anyway, they come from competitions, and they will not come from competitions because of your good service and good dishes. It is mainly to see whether your competition is attractive.
