Yesterday I played a game. This morning, all the Chinese players slept beautifully. They didn't need to set an alarm clock to get up and start a day of training in the gym.

This relaxed atmosphere has made many people realize that the final training camp before the World Cup is over.

Next, 23 people should be selected from 30 people, and then go to Atlanta in the United States, where they will do the final training camp and prepare for the first match of the World Cup group stage.

In other words, seven of the 30-person training camp will bid farewell to the national team today, pack their bags and go home, and then watch their teammates step onto the World Cup on the TV in the living room at home.

At around eleven in the morning, all the players of the national training team received an announcement from the group on their mobile phones:

"@Everyone, after lunch, go to the meeting room before two o'clock."

This brief announcement did not say what the collection was doing, but everyone knew the answer.

When everyone looked down and saw this message on their mobile phone, the leisurely and comfortable time was swept away.

I usually meet people who are joking and joking. When I meet again in the restaurant, they just nod to each other with serious expressions, and they are not in the mood to chat.

Even if there should be no surprises, players who can definitely be selected for the final twenty-three roster, in such a big environment, it is impossible to behave like a okay person.

Others worry about the fate of their friends, so naturally they are not in the mood to laugh.

Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi are now worried about whether Xia Xiaoyu can stay in the national team.

Instead, Xia Xiaoyu comforted them in turn: "Seriously, if I can come and train with everyone, I feel that I have earned it. I will give you more cheer at that time!"

Behind him came Zhou Zijing's lament: "If you weren't selected, wouldn't you regret Xiaoyu?"

"Sad is definitely a pity, but I am mentally prepared, so I don't think it's a big deal." Xia Xiaoyu and the others looked back at Zhou Zijing coming from behind.

Everyone is on their way to the meeting room.

It's not far away. From the dormitory building, go straight for 50 meters, then turn left for 30 meters, and enter a building, which is the conference room.

However, everyone walked very slowly during this period. It seemed that this would make the hammer of the sentence fall a little later, as if some result could be changed.

Hearing Xia Xiaoyu's words, Zhou Zijing shook his head: "You are so free and easy!"

Xia Xiaoyu defended: "I'm not free and easy, Zhou Zijing. I just planned for the worst, so no matter what the result is, as long as it is not the worst, doesn't it mean a good result?"

Zhou Zijing curled his lips: "I don't, I want to go to the World Cup, I want to be selected for the final big list... Forget it, if there is any show, I'll know in a while!" He finally sighed, lowered his head and followed to the meeting room. go.

A group of people walked into the meeting room and found that no matter how procrastinated, many people had already arrived inside.

Everyone finds a place to sit down.

No longer whispering, it's rare to quiet down before this meeting.

In the past, the coach had to announce a meeting to keep quiet in the conference room.

In this weird silence, tension spreads and lingers in everyone's hearts.

Until the head coach Shi Wuyin walked in with the coaching team and the national team leader Hong Renjie.

They immediately attracted the attention of all the players of the national team.

Then everyone's eyes were firmly locked on the white paper in Shi Wuyin's hand.

It's just like the announcement of the training camp list, but this time you replaced it with on-site witnesses instead of on TV.

Shi Wuyin noticed everyone's longing and perturbed gaze, and knew how heavy the list of 23 names in his hand was.

After all, it is the first time in Chinese football history...

Maybe the Chinese team will enter the World Cup in the future, but it is not as significant as this first time.

Everyone present, no matter how likely the chance, also wants to engrave their name in the history of Chinese football forever.

Shi Wuyin did not say his name directly on stage as he announced the training list on live TV.

Instead, he raised his wrist to see the time.

"There are still five minutes to two o'clock, almost." He nodded and put his hand down.

Then finally opened the list that he had doubled twice.

But he still didn’t read it. Instead, he looked at the players and said, “Next I’m going to announce the names of 23 people who are eligible to participate in the World Cup... Before reading this list, I want to say a few words to everyone. I am very grateful for your hard work during this period of training. Every one of you, no matter whether you go to the World Cup or not, you have contributed to the Chinese team’s World Cup... I don’t know what the outside world will think, but I As the head coach of the Chinese team, I will remember your contributions. As I said many times in training, we are a whole. A whole means 30 of us, not the last 23 personal."

The players quietly watched the head coach talk, and don't know how many people really listened to Shi Wuyin's words at this time.

"Now, I announce that the following 23 people have been selected for the final squad of the Chinese team for this World Cup."

When Shi Wuyin said these words, the meeting room, which was already quiet, suddenly became quieter, as if even the normal breathing sound disappeared.

He looked up at the players in surprise, and found that everyone was looking at him with wide-eyed eyes, then he lowered his head and thought:

"Hold."

Hao De, who had been stiffening his back, collapsed when he heard his name.

This experienced veteran goalkeeper was so tense for the first time in his career-finally reaching the World Cup, he didn't want to fall on the last night before liberation.

The eyes of the other goalkeepers looking at Hao De were a little complicated. There are only three goalkeepers in the twenty-three list of the World Cup. Hao De has already occupied one, and they have to compete for two places... No, it is actually one. If nothing else, Lin Zhiyuan should also have one. So everyone has to compete for a spot, don't you have to break the head?

"Lin Zhiyuan."

Lin Zhiyuan, who was pronounced the name, couldn't help but slap a punch with excitement. Fortunately, he squeezed his throat with that "嘢", otherwise it might become a target.

Shi Wuyin heard the movement of Lin Zhiyuan's fist, and also heard the changes in the conference room every time he uttered a name.

But he ignored it, didn't look up, just bowed his head blankly and read out the names one by one according to the list.

As he uttered those names, some people took a breath, and some people waved their fists like Lin Zhiyuan, but more people continued to stare at Shi Guishi silently and nervously, with mixed feelings.

There were also people who were destined to be out of play, but were relieved, looking at the head coach as if watching the play in a relaxed mood and continuing to read the list.

When Zhang Qinghuan heard Shi Guizhou reciting his name, although it was not very surprising, there was still a feeling that the stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

He leaned back slightly on the back of the chair and turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the conference room window.

It was as if someone was watching him from the sky.

"Xia Xiaoyu."

Zhang Qinghuan suddenly turned his gaze back from the blue sky, first looked at Shi Gui, and then at Xia Xiaoyu.

The latter had a jaw-dropping expression.

"Okay, Xiaoyu!" Hu Lai slapped Xia Xiaoyu's back, but the other party didn't move, like a statue.

"Wow!" The biggest response so far sounded in the conference room.

When Shi Wuyin heard it, he still continued to read without raising his head.

Zhou Zijing lay on his table amidst the noise, his eyes fixed on Xia Xiaoyu.

His Olympic teammates are now determined to play in the World Cup!

Zhou Zijing's heart could hardly contain a feeling of envy and jealousy. It was like eating a kilo of lime, so sour that the cytoplasm was separated...

"Zhou Zijing."

"Here!" Zhou Zi who heard his name reflexively got up from his seat and shouted.

Shi Wuyin finally couldn't hold back this time, and looked up at him.

After all the eyes were in full view, Zhou Zijing realized that this is not a roll call in class, but...

I can also go to the World Cup! !

He quickly sat down and continued to lie on the table, shaking with excitement.

Shaking and shaking, he just sobbed.

Lin Zhiyuan heard the movement on his side, turned his head to look, curled his lips and hummed in a low voice, "Brilliant!"

Others looked at Zhou Zijing, who cried with joy because of being selected on the 23-person list, and their hearts were extremely complicated.

Some people admire him, some are jealous, and others smile at him with relief.

Marked by Zhou Zijing’s cries, the list of 23 players for the first World Cup tour in the history of Chinese men’s football was released.

These 23 people were written into history in this way.

Later people must not know what happened in the national team when the roster was announced. They can only guess what is behind the roster.
