Chapter 246 National Youth Team Concentration

"Is the league over?" Long Bisheng asked Ning Xi.

"Yes." Ning Xi replied weakly.

"Then I can rest now?" Long Bisheng asked again.

"That's right." Ning Xi replied with a sigh.

"That……"

Ning Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly: "The season is over, you can rest now, you have also won the top scorer, you must have a place in the best team this season, after a hard season, it should be time to rest now - you have asked these few words a hundred times, are you annoying?"

Long Bisheng laughed embarrassingly: "I just think it's too early for the holiday at the beginning of May, isn't it? There will be no competitions at this time, and I'm really not used to it."

"Don't forget that League One has play-offs." Ning Xi shook her head and said, "There will be three play-offs in total, and it's definitely not possible to play twice a week. Three weeks have passed, and it's just the end of the European League at the end of May. If you didn't get the top two, I'm afraid you are preparing for the play-offs at this time. For the team, no team is willing to play a few play-offs like the final after the end of the season."

"That's true. It's really hard to play in the play-offs, but I've been promoted three times with Naples and Leeds. I haven't encountered a play-off yet. I'm lucky." Long Bisheng said after thinking about it.

"Playing in the play-offs once is more tiring than playing in a season." Ning Xi sighed and said, "It would be best not to play."

"Then what should we do during this time? How about we go back to China and have a good rest." Long Bisheng said.

"Okay, let's go to Uncle Long's place to play. I heard that Uncle Long's travel agency is doing very well." Ning Xi said excitedly.

"Okay." Long Bisheng nodded with a smile: "Go to XJ for a few days, and then we will go to Qingdao...Brother Lu and the others helped me so much last time, no matter what I say, I have to thank them properly."

For the next few days, Long Bisheng and Ning Xi had a good rest. First, they played at XJ. Long Yuyun was very satisfied with his son's performance this year. After all, this was Long Bisheng's first championship title and personal honor in Europe. From Long Yuyun's point of view, his son will naturally be able to win more honors in the future, and this is just the beginning.

Afterwards, Long Bisheng and Ning Xi went to Qingdao together. The end of May happened to be an intermission period of the league. Long Bisheng invited a group of friends in Qingdao to have a good time around. It was like repaying the favor that the injured brothers had entrusted to Lu Dashan to bring nourishing medicine.

Just when Long Bisheng started to feel bored, Ding Yu found him with a phone call.

"Aaron." Ding Yu's voice was still faint, as if he was chatting on the phone: "The China Youth Team will conduct a two-week training camp from May 28th to June [-]th. I hope you can participate at that time. The training place is at the Haigeng training base."

Although he probably guessed that Ding Yu would make such a call to him, Long Bisheng couldn't help but his heart beat faster after receiving the call. After calming down, he replied: "Understood, I will arrive as soon as possible."

"Hehe." Ding Yu's voice became brisk: "Good job, Aaron, your performance in the second half of the League One is really outstanding. You scored [-] goals in [-] games... Hey, good guy, with this kind of scoring rate, who would think you are just a tactical center forward? You can be a tactical center forward and help your teammates score goals. Only such a center forward can have a foothold in modern football. If you had been able to show such a state in Naples, maybe Sarajeta would not be able to compete with you."

Long Bisheng remained silent. The situation in the past few months also made him faintly feel that he seemed to be too selfless before. In the top league, players on the same team are also competitors even if they are teammates. A team can have as few as 20 people or as many as [-] people. There are only a dozen or so players who can become the main team. If they don't show their extraordinary ability in the game, how can they compete for the main team position?The cruelty of professional football is probably reflected most here.

"Aaron, back then I advised you to play as a tactical center in order to allow you to gain a foothold in professional football quickly, but now, one moment and another." Ding Yu sighed and said, "I can see your changes. To be honest, I am very happy because you can realize your own shortcomings at this stage and make improvements. This is very important. You are already 20 years old and have a good foundation. Accumulating experience in the game and staying in a team that can play the game is the most beneficial for you, accumulating slowly and accumulating slowly is the way to success."

"I understand." Long Bisheng nodded heavily: "I always remember that Tony returned to Italy from Yunjia Tianyu at the age of 24, and Drogba became Newcastle's main striker at the age of 26. The goal I set for myself is to join a giant club and play the main force at the age of 25. Of course, if I can work hard to make this number earlier, I will try my best to do it."

"Very good." Ding Yu nodded with satisfaction: "I'm looking forward to meeting you in Haigeng. You little guys in Europe have to make me call one by one. It's really troublesome. If you are in China, it won't be so troublesome."

"Do you still care about the long-distance call fee?" Long Bisheng replied with a smile.

Ding Yu laughed. After a while, when Long Bisheng thought he had hung up the phone, Ding Yu suddenly said: "Fan Pengfei was not selected this time... Last season he transferred to La Liga Huelva, but he didn't get any chance to play. I have many choices for this World Youth Championship. I will not choose a player who has not played much in a season and cannot maintain his state."

After Ding Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone, but Long Bisheng was stunned, holding the phone blankly for a long time without making a sound.

Ning Xi who was next to him saw that Long Bisheng was chatting and laughing with Ding Yu on the phone just now, and was suddenly stunned, also feeling strange: "Aaron, what's wrong? What happened?"

Long Bisheng woke up with a start, and sat down blankly: "Pengfei...was not included in the squad for the youth team."

"Fan Pengfei? He performed well in the World Shaoya, how could he ..." Ning Xi asked in doubt, and then immediately reflected: "This is not surprising. He played three times in Vilva. No one was the starting. The reserve team's game was not enough to maintain the state. I am coach Ding Yu, and I will also choose to play the game. The excellent players enter the team.

"What did Pengfei do? Isn't he already the main player in Tenerife? How did he think of transferring? It's not easy to be the main striker in La Liga." Long Bisheng sighed. Before the start of this season, he knew that Fan Pengfei had successfully transferred to the La Liga team Huelva and was happy for him for a while. He didn't expect such a consequence.

"Too aggressive. You and I made such a mistake the year before last. I didn't expect that someone as shrewd as Fan Pengfei would make such a mistake." Ning Xi said with a sigh.

"The situation seems to be different." Long Bisheng glanced at Ning Xi: "Dai Guangming is also in La Liga, isn't he the main player?"

"How long has Dai Guangming been here for Sporting Gijon? It's the fourth season now! He joined Sporting Gijon when he was less than [-] years old. He made it step by step with his own efforts, and Sporting Gijon is different from Naples. They don't have much ambition. Dai Guangming is enough to occupy a place! He has played in the second division for three years. Dai Guangming has become a part of Sporting Gijon, so that he can get the main position and play opportunities after the team is promoted to La Liga! And what about Fan Pengfei? He moved to Tenerife for only one year For half a year, he just played as the main force for a season, and he wanted to play in La Liga, become famous, and make a fuss about a transfer... His transfer was indeed a success, but a successful transfer does not mean that he can become the main force! Although Huerva is a La Liga relegation team, their players are also veterans of La Liga. How could a rookie like Fan Pengfei compete against them? Moreover, with Fan Pengfei's technical characteristics, he can only play as a striker alone. A striker who can score goals has no extra time and space to train young players! Fan Pengfei wants to skip the process of establishing his own image in the team and directly wants to become the main force, and it is too easy to think of the top European leagues."

What Ning Xi said, Long Bisheng could only nod. Long Bisheng, who has experienced it himself, knows how fierce the competition in the top European leagues is.

"What's more, I think you are aware of Fan Pengfei's personality...not that likable. Living in a group, his personality is too proud, and he can only isolate himself. You were able to gain a foothold in Leeds so quickly. The other teammates in Naples also liked you very much because you have a good personality and it is easy to make friends with other people. Fan Pengfei does not have this ability."

Long Bisheng remembered that when he was in the National Junior Team two years ago, Fan Pengfei was almost a lone ranger, and he had nothing to do with the players in Dalian. He couldn't help but smiled wryly. How did this Fan Pengfei become such a character? Pride is not necessarily a bad thing, but being too proud is definitely not a good thing.

"I'm going to go to Kunming soon, how about you?" Long Bisheng asked Ning Xi.

"Back to BJ." Ning Xi replied simply.
