I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

The time has come to the second half of March, and then it will enter the national team match day.

And Li Long will lead the Huaxia team to participate in the Huaxia Cup.

The purpose of the establishment of the Huaxia team is to provide a warm-up opportunity for the Huaxia team to enter the World Cup, and also to prepare in advance for Huaxia to host the World Cup in the future.

In fact, at the beginning of the Huaxia Cup, eight teams participated, and the invited teams were all top 30 teams in the world.

At that time, the goal of the "Little World Cup" was even more important. If it came true, the influence would indeed be very large.

But Chinese football is really nothing in the world.

And not all the invited teams are willing to go to China to compete.

But with the end of the World Cup, the international reputation of Huaxia football has improved a lot.

There are even teams that were not invited and volunteered to participate in the Huaxia Cup.

The investor of Huaxia Cup is the wealthy Wanda Group.

Wanda Group has made a great contribution to Huaxia football, not only investing in the Huaxia Cup, but also investing heavily in youth training.

The Wanda Project has invested 40 million yuan as the cost for young people to study abroad.

With the improvement of Huaxia football's reputation, they began to plan to increase the scale of next year's Huaxia Cup.

The number of teams will be increased from four to eight, divided into two groups.

Four teams in each group will play a single round robin.

Then the top two in each group will advance, and the top two teams will compete for the championship.

And the second place in the two groups will compete for the third place.

The competition system is very similar to the Confederations Cup, but problems soon arise.

Such a competition system leads to at least three games to be played, and four games to be played after promotion.

Then the international match day in March may appear more crowded.

If the event is really upgraded, then it may be necessary to change the time of the Huaxia Cup.

In fact, the first Huaxia Cup was not held in March.

Instead, it was held in January, and it was held in March at the beginning of the second session.

So there are two options, the first is to switch back to January, or hold it at the end of June.

This is the third Huaxia team, and the level of this Huaxia team is definitely not worse than the previous one.

Although there is an extra Asian team, the Colombian team is definitely stronger than the Czech Republic and Wales.

Therefore, the overall quality has not declined, and this China Cup.

Whether it is Uruguay or Colombia, basically all the main players will play.

In the Uruguay team, only Suarez did not come. There is really no way he has injuries.

But this time Cavani came, and so did central defender Godin.

This Uruguayan team is definitely not worse than last year's Huaxia Cup.

Last year's Uruguay team had a very luxurious lineup, with the striker combination of Cavani and Suarez on the striker.

The Columbia team's lineup is definitely not bad.

Forward Falcao, forward midfielder Ronaldo, and central defender Sanchez, the Colombian team is also fully preparing for this China Cup.

After Li Long knew the rosters of these two South American teams, he was really taken aback.

Because in Li Long's previous life, the Uruguayan team was far less serious.

And there is no Colombian team, only a Thai team, and they lost in the end.

As for the grouping, the Huaxia team will play against Colombia, while Uruguay's opponent is Uzbekistan.

Before the start of the Huaxia Cup, the head coach of the Uzbekistan team thanked the organizers.

They were given a chance to play against the Uruguayan team, and they called it a very good exercise opportunity.

This time the Huaxia Cup has attracted the attention of many Huaxia fans.

In fact, not only in China, but also in several other countries.

For example, in South Korea next door, Korean fans are very envious that Huaxia can hold such an event.

Generally, Huaxia fans are very worried. They originally hoped.

The Huaxia team can get a good result at home.

But at present, it seems that it is very likely to fight for the third place.

Although the Huaxia team has just won the Asian Cup, it is an Asian team after all.

In the minds of fans, South American teams are still stronger than Asian teams.

But in reality, the Japanese team also defeated the Colombian team.

As for the media, they first focused on the big list.

This time, there were three surprising names in the Huaxia team's roster.

He Tianfeng, Yuan Yunyue and Luo Zhe, many fans don't even know these three people.

Among them, Yuan Yunyue is in the team, not the team's main force at all.

Being pressed on the bench by Jonathan David and Harland.

It is expected to recruit Harland, why not recruit Tian Runtao, Wu Lei is also a good choice.

So some doubts began to be raised, thinking that the three of them did not have the strength to be selected for the national team.

But the fans did not have such big doubts.

Because compared with the Asian Cup squad, this time the squad is much stronger.

Although Tian Runtao was not selected, both Cai Jian and Cao Haoyi were selected.

These two players are both players who joined the giants. Although Cao Haoyi is on loan, Inter Milan has said Cao Haoyi is the future of the team several times.

And Wei Jiafeng was also selected, the midfield combination of Wei Jiafeng and Liu Yuchang in the World Cup.

People are looking forward to it, looking forward to their confrontation with South American teams.

Afterwards, Li Long was interviewed by reporters.

"Coach Li Long! Excuse me! What is the goal of the Huaxia team this time in the Huaxia Cup?" A reporter asked.

"In fact, compared with the results, I pay more attention to the training of the team. Being able to play against these three excellent teams is a very good training opportunity."

"This time the Huaxia Cup may have been prepared in a hurry, but I believe that the Huaxia team can still show a performance that satisfies the fans." Li Long replied.

However, the reporters were obviously not satisfied with such an answer.

"For the Huaxia Cup, some people once commented that it was tasteless, so what is your assessment?"

"I think the Huaxia Cup is a very good event, it has great potential."

"I think the Huaxia Cup will become an influential event in world football in the future." Li Long replied.

After all, it was an event held in his own country, so Li Long still praised it as much as possible.

"Compared to the Asian Cup, the roster for the Huaxia Cup this time is obviously more luxurious. May I ask Coach Li Long, in your mind, is the Huaxia Cup more important than the Asian Cup?"

The reporter's question was obviously a little extreme.

"Of course not! I think no matter what the competition is, the most important thing is to make the team stronger."

"So I tried my best to recruit different players, such as Tian Runtao and Wu Lei, but this time they did not enter the squad."

"As a manager, building the strongest squad is one of my accusations."
