Chapter 1722: Chapter 904: The First World Cup Pre-Match, Battle with Thai_2

Ding Yue’s tone suddenly became solemn.

"Principal Ding, this..."

Li Shuangying was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, within the National Team, having conflicts with teammates and the lack of coordination is not something to be solely blamed on one party.

"Principal Ding, don’t listen to Liu Zhan’s stories. We’re fine, there’s still a month left, we’ll work twice as hard in training, and in the first match against the Thai Team in the World Cup Pre-Match, we will give it our all and win the game!"

After some contemplation, Li Shuangying ultimately decided not to tell Principal Ding about the distressing issues within the National Team.

After all, this matter shouldn’t be blown out of proportion; the conflict with Wang Dachao and the others, as long as I can endure a bit, there shouldn’t be any major issues. As the saying goes, "A small reprieve leads to greater outcomes." There’s still a month before the first match of the World Cup Pre-Match begins, and we can’t afford any problems right now, especially within the National Team, it’s best to keep everything stable.

"Alright, I just called to check on you. Train well with the National Team. Coach Liu Changjian, although his ability might be somewhat ordinary, a coach has his methods. He has rich experience in leading teams in the World Cup Pre-Match. You must listen to the head coach, focus on training, a month later it’s the World Cup Pre-Match at home, I’ll be there to cheer for you, watch you sweep past the Thai Team!"

After reminding them, Ding Yue also assured Li Shuangying that he would personally be there to cheer for them during the first match against the Thai Team in the World Cup Pre-Match.

With the added morale boost of Principal Ding attending the match to cheer them on, Li Shuangying and others immediately felt uplifted and their fighting spirit ignited.

After all, it’s not a simple task for Principal Ding to be present to cheer them on. As the head of the school, with the entire Feiyue Group under his management, such a busy person being able to attend in person is definitely a motivational booster.

"Thank you, Principal Ding! We will certainly do our best, and won’t let you down."

Li Shuangying said with great determination.

Liu Zhan, Zhu Tan, and Zhao Xuanming, among others, also felt highly motivated. Even though today the players from Hengtai like Wang Dachao caused conflicts, it seems insignificant now. As long as we train well and perform in the World Cup Pre-Match, that’s all that matters.

Like this, Ding Yue inquired further about Li Shuangying, expressing genuine care. They represent Feiyue Football Club in the National Team, bringing honor to Feiyue Football Club and Mist City Arts and Science University’s sports academy, and they’re in Yancheng, not Mist City. So if there’s anything they need, Ding Yue would certainly try to fulfill it as best as possible.

Over the next month.

Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, Zhu Tan, and Zhao Xuanming dedicated themselves to training, trying their best to avoid conflicts with Wang Dachao and the Hengtai team. If Wang Dachao tried to stir up trouble, Li Shuangying would advise Liu Zhan and others to endure temporarily for the bigger picture, as everyone understood its importance.

Yet, during this month, even though Li Shuangying and others showed considerable restraint, Wang Dachao and Zhou Peng seemed to be provoked further, mocking Li Shuangying and the others every day.

Calling them foolish for working so hard.

However, Wang Dachao and Zhou Peng weren’t completely malicious, because they too were football players. Despite not being particularly outstanding, within the National Team, you might slack but you can’t entirely give up.

So, in the last month, when training began, Wang Dachao and others were diligent.

As professional football players, they also wanted to make themselves look better in the World Cup Pre-Match.

After all, losing to the Vietnamese team in the last World Cup Pre-Match was a humiliation for them, something Wang Dachao and others kept in their hearts even if unspoken.

Yet even so, facing Li Shuangying and the others, Wang Dachao frequently made things difficult or deliberately failed to cooperate.

Just like that, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The World Cup Pre-Match began in the Asian zone.

The World Cup Pre-Match is conducted across different zones, mainly divided into Asia, Europe, Africa, and America.

In the Asian zone, there are quite a few strong teams, especially Japan and the Korean Team, which are very formidable. Besides, some Central Asian teams are not to be underestimated.

Of course.

According to predictions from netizens, the National Team shouldn’t expect much against these strong Asian teams, especially those like Korean and Japan teams, whose strength often leads them into the World Cup.

Japan’s team particularly almost always makes it to the World Cup, while the Korean team depends on circumstances.

In the eyes of netizens, this year’s World Cup Pre-Match opponents for the National Team are still the Vietnamese team, as the National Team lost to them in the previous World Cup Pre-Match and missed the World Cup altogether.

Apart from the Vietnamese team, they need to be wary of the Thai Team, especially as the first match is against them. Based on the last World Cup Pre-Match results, losing to Vietnam was considered very disgraceful, and many believe this time the National Team will likely lose to the Thai Team.

Today.

Is the first showdown between the National Team and the Thai Team, also the National Team’s first match in the World Cup Pre-Match.

Moreover, the National Team is at home, at Haicheng Sports Center, facing the national team from Thailand, widely regarded as the weaker team in the Asian zone.

"Sigh, now we just have to see if the National Team can win against the Thai Team."

"The National Team is just a joke."

"I heard the National Team has a few newcomers this year."

"I think Feiyue Football Club has some pretty impressive newcomers this year. Did any make it to the National Team?"

"The National Team roster has been announced; haven’t you seen it? Feiyue Football Club has four players in the National Team, and they’re in the starting lineup."

"Oh my! The four from Feiyue Football Club made it: Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, Zhu Tan, and Zhao Xuanming, it’s practically a star lineup!"

"Are they really that awesome?"

"For those who don’t follow football, of course, you wouldn’t know what they’re about."

"Feiyue Football Club is currently the strongest club in the country, without a doubt. Even Hengtai, plus Harbor, and An Country likely aren’t their match."

"These players are rather remarkable, and all are young players."

"I have great expectations for Li Shuangying and others; their abilities are unquestionable."

"Then we have a good chance against the Thai Team in this match."

"Go for it! Take down the Thai Team!"

"Don’t just say winning against the Thai Team; we just hope not to lose too badly."

"I don’t have high hopes for the current National Team."

"Please stop following the trend of bashing the National Team, understand the current situation better. Ever since Mist City Arts and Science University’s football team emerged on the scene and Feiyue Football Club was established, things with the National Team have improved."

"Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, Zhu Tan, and Zhao Xuanming are quite skilled, and with Wang Dachao and Zhou Peng in the National Team, I think there’s a good chance against the Thai Team."

Even before the match started, netizens were already discussing fervently.

Clearly, genuinely concerned netizens are not many, and most are just following the trend. Additionally, the topic of the National Team versus the Thai Team is very hot, boosted by various media, thus elevating its popularity, drawing more netizens to notice today’s opening match of the World Cup Pre-Match for the National Team!

So, what will the outcome of this showdown be?

Countless people have begun to anticipate, especially those fans who’ve witnessed the journey of Feiyue Football Club, they’re extremely eager!
