Chapter 417 The World Cup Qualifiers Begin Again
this winter.Three more players from the City League have joined the clubs in the major leagues of the fourth continent, Zhaojun Zheshangyi and Hao Wei.

The number of players who have gone abroad from the City League has also increased to nine.

The six players who went out to play before have now occupied the main force or the main substitute position in their respective clubs.Among them, the clubs of Xu Hongtao and Li Xinmao are also teams in the championship group in their respective leagues.Although the clubs of several other players are in the middle and lower reaches, these players can get stable playing time in the team.

This also allowed the City League Club to win a special contribution award at the top league award ceremony that year.

For Liu Feiyu, this trophy is even better than the championship trophy of the First Continental Champions League, because the more domestic players in the top league, the stronger the national team will be.

"Are you in a good mood?" Gu Xiaomeng looked at Liu Feiyu with a smile and said.

"That's it!" Liu Feiyu looked at the special contribution award trophy and said with a smile: "Next year, the World Cup qualifiers will start in full swing. I hope we can enter the World Cup."

"You, you are not the head coach of the national team now, even if you want to worry about these things, it's nothing to say." Gu Xiaomeng said.

"That's true! However, the level of the coach hired by the national team is beyond doubt, but it's hard to say whether it is suitable for us." Liu Feiyu said.

"It's fine for you to tell me that, but if you tell others that, they will definitely think that you can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour!" Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile.

"Yes." Liu Feiyu said.

"Now you are both the head coach and the player. You are busy with club affairs. If you are really the head coach of the national team, how can you be so busy?" Gu Xiaomeng said.

"It's really too busy." Liu Feiyu said: "Play for a few more years, if you really can't play anymore, then you should be a coach honestly."

"Yeah." Gu Xiaomeng said.

"In fact, I have been thinking that if we really want to improve the level of domestic football, it is not enough to just send a few players abroad. Sending players out can certainly improve the level of these players, but only the level of these players can be improved. If you want to really improve the level of domestic football, improving the level of the domestic league is the key." Liu Feiyu said.

"Then how can the domestic league level be improved?" Gu Xiaomeng looked at Liu Feiyu and said.

"Popularize the football population." Liu Feiyu said.

"Popularize football population? How to popularize it?" Gu Xiaomeng said.

"Youth training is a method, but at this stage, domestic youth training, one is that the cost is still a bit high, and domestic parents are not very accepting of their children playing football. After all, most parents still think that learning cultural knowledge is the right way." Liu Feiyu said: "So the most important thing is to let more children come into contact with football within the scope of parents' approval."

"What do you mean?" Gu Xiaomeng asked.

"Campus football!" Liu Feiyu said.

"Campus football?" Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile: "But these years, we have tried it in Donghai and Xicheng. Most elementary schools don't have any field at all."

Liu Feiyu also knows in his heart that since the establishment of the City League Club, it has relied on the help of the government to promote campus football in various elementary schools in Donghai, Xicheng and other places, but the effect is not satisfactory.

The main reason is the venue. There is no football field in the elementary school. Another reason is the injury problem. After all, football is a sport that requires physical confrontation. The children are still young, and many parents are worried that their children will get injured. They don’t want their children to play football too much. Naturally, the school has its own ideas, so the promotion of campus football is not very smooth.

Later, Liu Feiyu was busy with other things, and the promotion of campus football came to an end for the time being.

"I'm thinking, can we promote the low-age league in Donghai and Xicheng, and then we can use the results of the league as a bonus item for the exam." Liu Feiyu said.

"This, I think it's feasible!" Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile, "Why don't you discuss it with Yitong?"

"Okay!" Liu Feiyu said.

"This matter, Yitong and I will discuss it first, and we will show you after we come up with a specific plan. Tomorrow's World Cup qualifiers, you have to concentrate on playing!" Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile.

"That's good." Liu Feiyu said, Liu Feiyu knew that organizing a football league for the younger age group would involve a lot of things, and it would be very cumbersome to sit up.

Next year's World Cup qualifiers, there will definitely be a lot of training sessions for the national team, plus the league, there will definitely be a lot of things for Liu Feiyu.

Sure enough, just after the Spring Festival and before the league started, the national team started training. However, in the first training camp, most of the players selected were fringe international players. The newly appointed national team head coach wanted to test the strength of these international players.

In fact, there have always been some different voices in China regarding the selection of the national team's coach this time.Many people are supporting Liu Feiyu. After all, from the qualifiers to the final match of the last World Cup, Liu Feiyu led the team with good results, creating a record in domestic football.

However, some people think that with the current level of the national team, a higher-level head coach should be hired. After all, a person's energy is limited. If you are a head coach and a player, you will definitely not be able to take care of it.

Therefore, the newly appointed Football Association chair decided to hire high-level foreign teachers.

So the current head coach was hired, a meritorious head coach from the fourth continent who once led the team to avoid the World Cup championship.

The national team's training camp lasted more than ten days and played two warm-up matches. Before the start of the league, the national team also ended its first training session this year.

More than a dozen overseas players were not selected for this national team training, and Liu Feiyu was not selected either.

And this year's league is also divided into several stages because of the World Cup qualifiers, and the national team training after five rounds of the league is the first stage of the first continent group stage of the World Cup qualifiers.

This time the World Cup qualifiers, the first continent is still divided into two stages. In the first stage, all participating countries are divided into twelve groups, each group has four to five teams, but only the first in the group can qualify. The basis for grouping is based on the world ranking of each team.

As for the group where the national team is in, the strength of other teams is average, and the problem of qualifying for the group will not be a big problem.

The real test for the national team is the top [-] match starting in the second half of the year.

The top [-] matches after that will start in August in the second half of the year and end in February next year. This is the real test for the national team.
