I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

After dealing with his team's affairs, Li Long curiously checked the rosters of the other three players. Among them, Li Long was most curious about the Brazilian National Youth Team.

Because some domestic media said that the Brazilian National Youth Team who came to China to participate in the Panda Cup this time is the main player of the Brazilian National Youth Team.

But Li Long looked at the roster and was very disappointed. There were no players Li Long knew. This group of national youth teams should only be regarded as the second-tier team of the Brazilian national youth team.

But even so, the overall strength is crushing the Huaxia National Youth Team, which makes Li Long envious.

Li Long has never heard of these Brazilian players, and they will probably play in China in the future. This makes Li Long lament that Brazil is indeed a big football country, and Li Long can't help but envy Brazil's player reserves.

Immediately afterwards, Li Long looked at the rosters of Croatia and New Zealand. There were also no surprises, and there were no players that impressed Li Long. Sure enough, the international reputation of the Panda Cup is still too low.

On June 3, the day before the first match of the Panda Cup, the first Panda Cup Invitational Tournament held a pre-match press conference in Chengdu. The head coaches of the four national youth teams attended the press conference.

The first head coach of the New Zealand National Youth Team to be interviewed, it is worth mentioning that the 2015 U20 World Youth Championship will be held in New Zealand.

The head coach of New Zealand is very face-saving. In an interview, he even said that the Huaxia team is very strong. Of course, this is a polite remark.

Although the head coach of Croatia was present at the press conference, he bluntly stated that the purpose of participating in the Panda Cup is to select players for next year's European Youth Championship qualifiers.

Then another reporter mentioned Halilovic. Halilovic can be regarded as the most talented player in Croatia in recent years. Halilovic was only 16 years old and represented the Croatian national team.

It is a pity that Halilovic was not called up for this Panda Cup. Halilovic had just signed with Barcelona recently. In fact, not only Halilovic, players who played in foreign leagues basically did not play with the team.

The next person to attend is the head coach of the Brazil National Youth Team, and the head coach of the Brazil National Youth Team, old Chinese Super League fans will definitely know him. He is Copertino who once played for Henan Jianye.

The finale was undoubtedly Li Long. Li Long accepted the questions from the reporters. The first question the reporters asked was the impact of the absence of several overseas players on the Huaxia National Youth Team.

"Of course it has influence, but the strength of the current team is definitely not weak." Li Long replied.

"The Panda Cup is my first official competition after coaching the national youth team, and I can still play against so many strong teams. I hope we can get a good result."

Immediately afterwards, the reporters focused on Tian Runtao. They were very curious about this grade-jump student. He scored four goals in two warm-up matches, and one of them was against the mighty Portuguese team.

But they are almost completely unfamiliar with such a player. Out of curiosity, the reporter hoped that Li Long could comment on Tian Runtao.

"Oda can be regarded as the biggest discovery in our last Portuguese training camp. If you ask me to comment on Oda, I can only say that Oda is definitely one of the best strikers of the younger generation."

Li Long praised Tian Runtao vigorously. After hearing Li Long's evaluation, there was an uproar at the scene. The reporters did not expect that Li Long's evaluation of Tian Runtao would be so high, which made them even more curious about Tian Runtao.

Of course, the most asked questions are undoubtedly the Asian Youth Championship. There are only 4 months left before the Asian Youth Championship, and the time is very tight.

"Although the group opponents in this year's Asian Youth Championship are very strong, our national youth team is very confident. We are not only confident to break through the group, but we are even more confident to enter the World Youth Championship." Li Long replied confidently.

"You are right, the time is really tight, but the National Youth Team will also participate in the Weifang Cup, and will also participate in the U19 Four Nations Youth Invitational Tournament, plus there will be a warm-up match, our National Youth Team still has a lot Chance to play."

In this press conference, Li Long showed his confidence to the outside world, but fans are generally not optimistic, especially this time the Panda Cup.

This year's national youth team is called "the most foreign national youth" because there are so many overseas players, but this time most of the overseas players were unable to return to the team, which made the already weak Huaxia team even weaker.

. . . . . .

On the night of this day, Li Long received a call from his younger brother Li Hu. It turned out that Tian Runtao's four goals in two games had already reached the ears of the senior officials of Beijing Guoan.

Then they discovered that Tian Runtao hadn't signed a professional contract because he was only 17 years old, and this was the first time Li Hu, as Tian Runtao's agent, negotiated a new contract on behalf of a player.

Tian Runtao was very excited when he found out about it. Although the salary of the new contract is not high, compared with his previous contract, the salary of the professional contract is still much higher.

After talking with his younger brother, Li Long is going to prepare for tomorrow's game. The first is the tactical formation. Tomorrow's opponent is undoubtedly the weakest of the three opponents.

So in this game, Li Long only accepts victory as a result. If he can't even play against New Zealand, how can he play against Croatia or Brazil.

Li Long looked at the task in his mind, which was announced just a few days ago.

"Trigger Mission: Panda Cup

Task description: Coach the Huaxia National Youth Team to participate in the Panda Cup

Rewards: Rewards will be awarded based on the results"

Although Li Long didn't know what the best reward was, at least he had a scout card. Li Long even thought about how to use this scout card. Currently, there are forwards, midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers.

Therefore, in the next chapter of Li Long's scouting card, he intends to choose the type of winger. It is best to come with a right winger. Wei Shihao and Tang Shi on the left winger still meet Li Long's requirements, but the right winger is too short.

You must know that Yang Liyu will not really grow up until the 2019 Super League season. Now Yang Liyu is still too watery. If it is not true that no one will use it, Li Long will not choose Yang Liyu.

Li Long still intends to choose 4-2-3-1 in this game, but this time Li Long hopes to attack and defend, and the addition of Chi Ruofei instantly strengthens the midfield configuration of the Huaxia team.

Li Long believes that the midfielder will no longer be as helpless as in the previous two games. With an all-round midfielder like Chi Ruofei, the strength of the Huaxia team has improved linearly.

On the offensive end, Tian Runtao is undoubtedly the core. Tian Runtao shined in the first two games and gained the trust of all his teammates. Therefore, on the offensive end, Li Long asked the players to feed Tian Runtao as much as possible.

Immediately afterwards, Li Long made a starting list:

Goalkeeper: 1 Ding Zheng;

Defenders: 22 Deng Hanwen, 3 Zhao Wenchao, 4 Liu Haidong, 2 Huang Baiwen;

Midfield: 12 Lu Pin, 8 Chi Ruofei, 10 Cheng Jin, 11 Zhang Xiuwei, 16 Yang Liyu;

Forward: 9 Tian Runtao.
