Chapter 1721: Chapter 904: The First World Cup Pre-Match, Battle with Thai

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense and confrontational.

The key issue is that guy Wang Dachao from the Hengtai Team looks like he’s ready to lash out.

If Coach Liu Changjian hadn’t come over, Wang Dachao probably would have really started something. If such a conflict were to erupt, the future of the national team would be truly in jeopardy.

"What’s going on with you guys?"

Coach Liu Changjian approached, sternly saying, "On the field, teammates are our own people. How could you get angry at our own people? Huh?"

When everyone heard Coach Liu Changjian say this, their anger gradually subsided.

"Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, Zhao Xuanming, Zhu Tan, you four come here."

Coach Liu Changjian then called Zhao Xuanming and the other three over, intending to have a talk with them at the side of the field.

"What’s going on with you guys?"

Coach Liu Changjian immediately questioned them in a critical tone: "In the team, you need to get along with your teammates. What’s the meaning of this? I don’t want any conflicts between teammates in the national team I’m leading, understood?"

Well, Li Shuangying’s anger grew even stronger after being reprimanded by Coach Liu Changjian.

Liu Zhan wasn’t wrong in the first place; it was that Hengtai player Wang Dachao who was picking a fight. How is it now our fault? How does it become us not being united with our teammates?

It seems that Coach Liu Changjian is more biased toward players from clubs like Hengtai and Harbor.

Li Shuangying couldn’t understand why this was happening.

Why even the coach is unfair, standing directly on Wang Dachao’s side?

For a moment, Li Shuangying felt disheartened.

"Understood, Coach."

After taking Coach Liu Changjian’s scolding, Zhao Xuanming and Li Shuangying nodded in reply.

"You all have good potential. I hope you can shine in the World Cup Pre-Match, but Wang Dachao and the others have experience in the Pre-Match. You need to cooperate well, complement each other, got it?"

After speaking, Coach Liu Changjian waved his hand: "Alright, go back to training."

As Zhao Xuanming, Li Shuangying, Zhu Tan, and Liu Zhan returned to the field to continue their training, Wang Dachao sneered at them from not far away, saying, "Look at you guys. I’m telling you, some things can’t be resolved solely through effort."

Wang Dachao’s words seemed to carry a deeper meaning, as if he knew from the start that Coach Liu Changjian would definitely stand by their side.

"Ying, even the coach isn’t on our side but on Wang Dachao’s."

Liu Zhan said helplessly.

"It’s because they have money, you know." Li Shuangying understood the reason behind the arrogance of Wang Dachao within the team.

Whether it’s Hengtai Club or Harbor Club, they’re rich and can spend a lot of money in "necessary" places. That’s why even the coach is so polite to them and takes their side no matter what happens.

Although Feiyue Soccer Club isn’t lacking funds, Li Shuangying and his teammates would never do that.

"This whole situation is really disheartening."

Zhu Tan complained.

"Alright, alright. Let’s try to avoid conflicts with Wang Dachao and the others and focus on training." Li Shuangying had no choice but to calm his teammates down and continue their hard and dedicated training.

In the evening, when everyone returned to the hotel, a phone call came through, surprising Li Shuangying and his teammates.

Because it was Principal Ding calling.

During this period, Ding Yue had been quite concerned about the Feiyue Soccer Club players’ situation in the national team’s training, so he called Li Shuangying, who was the captain of the Feiyue Soccer Club team, to ask about their situation in the national team.

"Hello, Li Shuangying, did you finish training today?"

After connecting the call, Ding Yue asked.

"Yes, Principal Ding, we’ve finished today’s training, and we’re in the hotel now." Li Shuangying replied.

"How’s it going? Are you used to being in the national team?"

Ding Yue asked again.

However.

The air seemed to fall into silence, as there was no response from Li Shuangying on the other end of the line.

After about three seconds, Li Shuangying chuckled and said, "Yes, Principal Ding, we’re fine and quite used to it. The coach here is pushing us hard in training."

"Principal Ding, don’t believe what Ying is saying!"

At this moment, Liu Zhan’s voice came from beside Li Shuangying.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue felt that the situation might not be so simple.

When he asked Li Shuangying about his situation on the national team, Li Shuangying clearly paused for a few seconds before saying it was quite good.

The observant Ding Yue could sense that perhaps the reality wasn’t as Li Shuangying stated, especially considering Liu Zhan’s comment beside him. Could something have happened within the national team?

"Li Shuangying, what’s really happening? Why won’t you tell me the truth?"
