In fact, although football in this era is a little less elastic, it is not really impossible to play. As long as you play a few more times, you will gradually become familiar with the characteristics of football in this era and can basically control the timing of playing football well.

Moreover, although these players are not professional players, they are still soldiers. Naturally, they all have a bloody nature of not believing in evil, so they don’t complain, train hard and try to adapt to football in this era earlier.

After training like this for about an hour, Wang Hailong announced that he would conduct a six-on-six group confrontation exercise. After all, he only played this one-to-three training. Although he could be familiar with the characteristics of football, it would eventually be reflected in the formal game. Therefore, group confrontation exercises can also speed up the players' time to be familiar with the ball. Moreover, conducting six-on-six confrontation exercises will pay more attention to the small-scale technical cooperation of the players. This will make the effect better in this way.

Of course, Wang Hailong arranged the team members to conduct six-to-six confrontation exercises, rather than the team-wide confrontation exercises. Another important reason is that Martinez brought a few people to visit the training of the Time Traveler, including the British Consul in Shanghai Huo Bilan. Therefore, Wang Hailong did not want to expose the Time Traveler's tactics so early, although it is very likely that the British could not understand the time Traveler's tactics at all.

It turned out that Huo Bilan was always worried about this game. After all, although Martinez made a strong effort to promote this game, he also contributed to it and played a significant role. If he lost this game, it would not only affect the negotiation, but also had a significant impact on Huo Bilan's personal voice. Although Martinez was full of confidence and was very clear about it, he was always worried that he did not see the strength of both sides with his own eyes. Because Huo Bilan thought he was a person who knew football, he wanted to see the training of both sides in person so that he could have a clear mind.

If it is true that Britain has the certainty of winning, of course it is okay, but if the overseas Chinese team is strong and the United Kingdom may not be sure of winning, then think of other ways quickly. Although the British people pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor, they should be more graceful without being able to check. If they are not sure of winning, then they have to do some tricks and conspiracy. Huo Bilan is first a politician and secondly a gentleman.

Of course, Huo Bilan went to see the training of the British team. After watching for a while, Huo Bilan was also very satisfied because the team was tall and full of strength. According to Huo Bilan's estimate, even in the British Football League One, it seems that Martinez's confidence is not unreasonable. So Huo Bilan suggested to Martinez to take a look at the training of overseas Chinese.

In fact, Martinez didn't want to see the training of overseas Chinese, because Martinez had already determined that overseas Chinese were vulnerable and had no idea. However, Huo Bilan's face could not be refuted, so it would be better to go over and take a look, at least to make the consul feel at peace. Martinez could still see this. The consul came here to see the training today, but in fact he was worried, so he could make him feel at peace.

When the two first arrived at the Time Traveler training match, the Time Traveler was training for the technical passing of three to the ball. After watching it, they almost laughed out loud. There were three people playing like this. The three people formed a triangle and passed the ball to each other at a distance of about 10 meters. Another person blocked the ball in the triangle area and intercepted them to pass the ball. This was like children playing. Moreover, Huo Bilan also saw that the height of overseas Chinese players was much worse than that of the United Kingdom. There were almost no ones above 1.9 meters, and a few of them seemed to be around 1.7 meters. How can they play the game with such a height?

Then the Time Traveler conducted a 6-on-6 confrontation training. In Martinez and Huo Bilan's view, such confrontation training was even more incredible. Playing in a field that is not much bigger than the penalty area, although the two sides fought back and forth and fought fiercely, all the shots were passed against the ground, without big feet, and no headers, because it was impossible to have big feet in such a small field. Of course, some of them had a lot of fun under their feet, with left and right hands, and who had scored the balls, cycling, and Marseille swinging was dazzling.

But in the eyes of insiders like Martinez and Huo Bilan, these are just flirting tricks and are not practical at all. Are these tricks useful in actual games? You should know that in a real game, you are not comparing who has better ball control or who has more fun, but who can hit the ball into the opponent's goal.

Huo Bilan was completely relieved. It seemed that he was sure to win this game. So after watching for a while, Huo Bilan happily left the training ground and returned to the consulate. He was thinking about how to expand the influence of this game a little more, and he could also gain more capital from it.

While the Time Traveler's football team was training hard for the game, Qin Zheng also took the Time Traveler's negotiation team to frequently attend various events held by various social sessions in Shanghai. In some events, Qin Zheng had no time to clone, so he sent Li Sanjie and Liu Lantao to attend. In just 4 or 5 days, the Time Traveler attended 10 various events, and most of them were held by Chinese or led by Chinese.

In these occasions, time travelers are widely publicizing their political ideas and propositions. On the one hand, they say that this negotiation is for peace and that the situation in China will stabilize again. On the other hand, they also bluntly point out that they hope that the Qing court can learn from this Boxer State and carry out deepening comprehensive reforms in the future, learn from the advanced politics and economic systems of European countries, implement constitutionalism, recruit talents, and broaden new education, and support national assets and establish industries. Only in this way can China become stronger again and squeeze into the world.

The time traveler's statement is of course not his original intention. The time traveler's real purpose is to overthrow the Qing court and establish a new China, but at this time, these goals cannot be expressed in a big way. After all, the time traveler has only been more than half a year since he came to this era. Although he has achieved great results, his own political, economic, and mass base are still very weak, and it is impossible for most Chinese to support him at once. This is the main reason why the Executive Committee has always insisted that he cannot break up with the Qing court. Therefore, the time traveler attended various activities in Shanghai and spoke very cautiously, and did not dare to be too radical, and tried his best to cater to the mentality of the Chinese in Shanghai. As long as he left a impression that an overseas Chinese would be more open, more open and more civilized than the Qing court.

The Chinese in Shanghai, whether national capitalists, compradors, or ordinary people, have a certain understanding of the world, and also know that the systems of other countries in the world are indeed better than those of the Qing court. The political system implemented by the Qing court is indeed lagging behind this era, so they do not have any confidence in the Qing court. But on the other hand, they oppose the violent revolution that overthrew the Qing court, because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising, which was born more than 3 years ago and the Boxer Movement that was just born recently, most of the damage to order, social turmoil, killing and disasters, and there are not many positive factors. Therefore, they still fantasize that the Qing court can carry out self-improvement, actively learn from European countries, carry out political system reforms, and implement constitutionalism, and from then on the road to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

These claims of time travelers are just in line with the ideas of these people. According to the time travelers, the countries they established overseas adopt a system similar to those of European countries, and once again proves that only by learning from European countries to carry out political system reforms can China become stronger again. Moreover, now Chinese people basically recognize that time travelers are descendants of China. Since they can do it, the Qing court can do it too. Some people even hope that the Qing court can reuse overseas Chinese and let them lead the reforms of the Qing court, so that they can avoid social unrest and make China prosperous and strong.

However, time travelers are very clear that if they believe that the rulers of the Qing court would take the initiative to carry out political system reform and implement constitutionalism, it would be more reliable to believe that the old sows would rise up. Even if Cixi stepped down and Guangxu took power, it would be impossible to establish a real constitutional system. At most, they would adopt a system similar to that of Germany and Russia today. It is a relatively open-minded political system that coexists with constitutional system. Even if the monarch still maintains considerable power, the system of governing the country is relatively open and the capitalist system is mainly implemented in China.

But the history of old time and space proves that this political system that coexists with constitutionalism can only have only one kind of transition, because monarchy and constitutionalism are inherently opposed and cannot compromise with each other for a long time. Therefore, the final result will either be to evolve into a completely empty monarchy system like Britain, such as Thailand, the Netherlands, or it can include Japan, or be overthrown by the people and transformed into a republic system, such as Russia and Germany.

Overall, in the past few days, the attitudes of Chinese people in Shanghai towards time travelers have been basically positive and friendly. On the one hand, this is because the achievements made by time travelers in the military have indeed made the Chinese people of this era breathe a sigh of relief. On the other hand, the attitudes of Chinese people in Shanghai are very gentle, humble, and have no airs at all, which is in sharp contrast to the arrogance of Qing officials.

Qin Zheng was also very satisfied with the result, which basically achieved the goal set in Tianjin. The goal of time travelers now is not to obtain widespread support from the whole country, but to establish a new image completely different from the Qing court.

Just the day before the football match, Qin Zheng also announced that he would hold a press conference after the game, facing all newspapers in Shanghai and answering questions raised by reporters.
