Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 70

The next day, Chen Xiao still arrived at the training base on time. He didn't know that he was the focus of the news again in China.

It turned out that the Football Association announced a new national team training list. This training session was prepared for the East Asian semi-finals a week later. On the new training list, all overseas players were on the list, including Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo from the Premier League, and Shao Jiayi from the German Second Division. In this list, only Chen Xiao, who had been a popular candidate for the national team before, was not on the list. This immediately attracted the attention of domestic fans and the media.

After the Football Association released the list, Gao Hongbo, the new head coach of the national team, answered the question of Chen Xiao not being on the list when he was asked by reporters.

"This time we invited Chen Xiao, but unfortunately Chen Xiao refused to play for the national team. I don't know what causes a player to make such a choice, but what I want to say is that no matter how strong you are, if you don't even recognize your own country, you don't need such a person. I hereby solemnly warn Chen Xiao, if you still insist on going your own way, the door of the national team will be closed to you forever."

After the content of such an interview was exposed, it immediately aroused intense discussions in the country. However, from some operations of the Football Association for a long time, the rhythm this time has not been completely distorted. There are still a large number of fans in the country who are very sober. It is just that some fans have been led to the rhythm.

As for Chen Xiao, he still doesn't know the news of his being slandered. It wasn't until he returned to the apartment after a day of training and received calls from his parents and agent that Chen Xiao knew what kind of dirty water the Football Association had poured on him. After hearing such news, Chen Xiao was actually very calm. He knew that the moment he rejected the Football Association's recruitment, such a result was already doomed.

After discussing some countermeasures with Frode, Chen Xiao contacted Klopp to inform them of the situation.

On the phone, Klopp asked Chen Xiao not to take any action, and let the club come forward to take all the matter to the club. Klopp still didn't want to make too stiff between his proud disciple and his country.

The day before the match against Hamburg, the news about Chen Xiao's loss to the national team spread to Germany, and this news also attracted the attention of some German media.

Germany’s Bild newspaper, which has always been close to Mainz, published the news with the headline “Chen Xiao Lost in the New Xia Guo National Team”. In the news, Bild reporter Hans said: “In an irrelevant friendly match, the head coach of a national team would let players who are far away from their home country give up the benefits of the club and go back to participate in a game that is completely unqualified for the FIFA A-level competition. Finally, because the players cannot accept such absurd requirements, Chen Xiao is refused to be a member of the national team. I may not know the strength of the Xia Guo national team, but what I know is that this is a team that is not even qualified for the Olympics and the World Cup. I was thinking that if you don’t want your team to have such a player, I believe there will be many teams in the world that need Chen Xiao to join.”

Hans' report completely exposed the contents of this, and then, Bild's report was sent back to China from Germany, and some media even adopted Hans' report without saying a single word.

Now the wind direction in the country is completely chaotic.

Originally, some mainstream media criticized Chen Xiao’s rejection of the national team’s call in the news, but after such an uproar, even if the media still said so, many viewers and fans did not buy it. Most of the fans are actually sensible people. You said that you can’t even qualify for the FIFA A-level competition. Is it necessary for overseas players to give up their clubs and come back to participate in these boring games?If it is some important games, there is nothing wrong with it.

When the Bild news detonated domestic reports, Mainz put the fax of the Xia Guo Football Association on the official website, and also analyzed the situation of the so-called East Asian semi-finals for fans on the official website. This made the fans of Mainz very angry. Chen Xiao can be said to be the most indispensable for Mainz.

Afterwards, Chen Xiao issued a statement through Floyd. The general content was that he did not refuse to play for the country, but that he did not want to focus on these meaningless games. In the statement, Chen Xiao stated that as long as it is an intercontinental game, it is duty-bound to play for the country.

This series of operations even attracted the attention of UEFA. During this period of time, the relationship between UEFA and FIFA was tense. After the incident of Chen Xiao broke out, UEFA also used this incident to rise to confront FIFA. In the interview, it even said that this incident of Chen Xiao was officially the result of FIFA’s long-term unreasonable operations.

The person in charge of the Football Association even received a call from the AFC.

In this way, this incident ended up being a mess, and no one won. After this incident, Chen Xiao's hope of joining the national team became even more elusive.

I thought the incident would end like this, but who would have thought that many countries, including the German Football Association, would send out invitations to Chen Xiao right after.

Beckenbauer, the most famous figure in German football, said in an interview: "Chen is a phenomenal player. I think that in Germany at present, only Chen Xiao can surpass me. I recommended Chen Xiao to Klinsmann some time ago. Klinsmann is very interested in Chen Xiao and hopes that Chen Xiao can join the German national team. Although Chen Xiao can't get German citizenship for the time he lives in Germany, I think we will always give special treatment to geniuses."

This interview brought Chen Xiao into the spotlight again. After Beckenbauer's interview was exposed, the head coaches of many countries invited Chen Xiao.

Especially in Japan and South Korea in Asia, South Korea even made news that Chen Xiao is Korean.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Xiao did not respond to Frode's suggestion, because Frode said that if you are silent now, your popularity will gradually decrease, and if you respond, it will be bad.

Chen Xiao rejected all interview requests and concentrated on preparing for the next game.

Players still have to use their strength to speak, and everything else is fake.

The time soon came to August 8th. Today, Mainz will face the visiting Hamburg team at their home court. This is Mainz’s first home game in the Bundesliga. There are still nearly 20 hours before the game starts. The fans of Mainz can’t wait, and the Opel Arena is full of seats.Everywhere you look, there are Mainz fans in red jerseys
