Chapter 1734: Chapter 910: It’s Time to Apply Some Pressure_2

Once your mindset is seriously affected, it’s very difficult to perform well on the field.

"Principal Ding, this game... this game was really frustrating to play!"

Li Shuangying complained, "Playing like this, how could we win?"

"I know."

Ding Yue nodded slightly and said to Li Shuangying, "You guys should eat quickly. You must be exhausted from today’s game, the physical drain was enormous."

"Then Principal Ding, let’s dig in."

Zhao Xuanming was still quite optimistic. Since Principal Ding was treating them to a meal, there was no reason to be polite.

In a team, there always needs to be one or two more optimistic people. Otherwise, if the team loses or something happens to make everyone gloomy, and there are no optimistic team members to liven up the atmosphere, it would be a really bad situation.

"Yeah, go ahead, eat."

After Ding Yue nodded, he called the waiter over, handed a menu to Liu Zhan, and said, "Order whatever you like, it’s on me."

"Thank you, Principal Ding."

Liu Zhan happily thanked him as well.

Today’s match was already very frustrating, and if it gets more frustrating, one might even become depressed. Eating well is better, especially since Principal Ding is treating them.

During the meal, Ding Yue talked with Li Shuangying about the "future" of the national football team.

"After much thought, I’ve decided to use the result of today’s game to put pressure on the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports to reorganize the national team, maybe even let our entire Feiyue Football Club represent us, or..."

As Ding Yue spoke, he suddenly paused and didn’t continue.

"Principal Ding, you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuangying’s eyes gleamed with expectation.

If like Principal Ding said, the national team could consist entirely of the Feiyue Football Club players, that would be great. Li Shuangying and Liu Zhan wouldn’t have to worry about other teammates holding them back, because every player in Feiyue Football Club is excellent, with perfect cooperation and harmony.

The players from Feiyue Football Club are the most ideal teammates for Li Shuangying and those known for their strong offense.

"Can we really have the Feiyue teammates form the national team?"

Liu Zhan was extremely excited upon hearing this.

If we can really call up Feiyue Team teammates to form the national team, I have confidence in making it into the top sixteen of the World Cup, and maybe even the top eight.

Some of the young players are even "blood-boiling" with the desire to compete for the Hercules Cup at the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States!

Of course, the former might be possible, while the latter is more of a "grand goal" or a fantasy, but it’s not entirely impossible. At least once you’re in the finals of the World Cup, anything can happen.

"I need to have a good discussion with the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports. After all, this is a significant matter, but despite that, the World Cup Pre-Match, and even the future of the national team is more important to us."

Ding Yue said seriously.

Initially, Ding Yue didn’t plan to discuss this, as it would undoubtedly cause some conflicts and disagreements with the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports.

However, today’s match between the national team and the Thai Team made Ding Yue realize that if the current national team doesn’t change, it will never enter the World Cup, even though Feiyue Football Club has already contributed top-notch players like Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, Zhao Xuanming, and Zhu Tan to the national team.

"Yes, we must make the people in the Football Association realize this. The domestic football environment has already undergone a complete transformation."

Huang Youjie said indignantly.

"Huang, calm down."

Xu Bin glanced at Huang Youjie and said, "We need a long-term plan for this."

"Yes, yes. Principal Ding, Director Xu is right. This matter requires a long-term plan, even if... even if we miss out on this year’s World Cup Pre-Match and the World Cup. We must work hard to make this happen."

Li Shuangying is someone with great vision.

Instead of the national team recruiting players from various football clubs to train and mesh together, it’s better to form the national team from the best team in the Xia Super League to play in the World Cup Pre-Match and future international competitions like the Asian Cup. This might even be more effective and better by a lot.

"Hmm..."

Ding Yue nodded slightly, agreeing that Xu Bin made a valid point.

This matter can’t be addressed by directly approaching the Football Association or the General Administration of Sports. There needs to be... proper external momentum.

And now.

There’s a favorable external environment.

That is the serious dissatisfaction of domestic fans and netizens with the current state of the national team, which can be used to put pressure on the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports and have a good discussion about the national team as well as the hopes for the upcoming World Cup Pre-Match and the World Cup.

"After today’s defeat to the Thai Team, the anger among domestic fans and netizens has intensified. We can take advantage of this opportunity to have talks with the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports. Also, Li Shuangying, you and your teammates can assist us internally when the time comes."

Ding Yue strategized.

"Yes, Principal Ding, whatever you need us to do, we will cooperate with you!" Li Shuangying immediately assured.

Liu Zhan, Zhao Xuanming, and Zhu Tan all nodded firmly as well.

Because they knew Principal Ding’s actions were to help them truly realize their football dreams, and maintaining the current state of the national team without changes would make it impossible to achieve their World Cup football dreams.

"Principal Ding, there’s some news, a new trending topic, almost at the top."

At that moment, Secretary Wen Ruohan suddenly mentioned, holding her phone.

"Oh?"

Ding Yue appeared slightly puzzled and asked, "What kind of news could surpass today’s trending topic about the national team losing to the Thai Team?"

"There really is one."

Wen Ruohan giggled, "Wang Dachao got beaten up by fans at the hotel."

"What?"

Ding Yue burst into laughter and said, "Hahahaha, really got beaten up?"

Immediately, everyone took out their phones and opened Twitter to check out the trending topic.

Oh boy!

On Twitter, a video of Wang Dachao being surrounded and beaten by several fans had gone viral. In the video, you could see Wang Dachao, Zhou Peng, and some internet celebrity beauties arriving at the hotel lobby, only to encounter a few fans who had just finished watching the match live.

The fans were already furious with how disappointing the national team was, and seeing Wang Dachao and his group enjoying themselves at a five-star hotel infuriated them even more since they didn’t seem to care at all about losing to the Thai Team today.

As a result, the fans’ anger rose, and they confronted Wang Dachao and his group, leading to a physical altercation when words failed.

There were more fans, so Wang Dachao ended up getting beaten.

The video was only about a minute long, but you could clearly see Wang Dachao indeed getting beaten by fans, much to Ding Yue’s satisfaction.

Not only did Ding Yue find it satisfying.

Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, Zhao Xuanming, and Zhu Tan were also quite pleased after watching it.

Wang Dachao, he totally deserved it!

His performance on the field was basically non-existent, making fans extremely resentful, and he deserved it. If he had at least played seriously on the field and fought for the national team’s dignity, he wouldn’t have been beaten by the fans.

"This video, it’s so satisfying to watch. Serves that Wang Dachao right; he doesn’t deserve to play football at all!"

Liu Zhan boldly remarked.
