"We just got the roster. As expected, England is the main players, goalkeeper Heyman; defenders: Gary Neville, Keeon, Campbell, Philip Neville; midfielder David Beckham, Ince, McMalahman, Scholes; strikers Hiller and Irving. This should be the main lineup of England's official tournament, if there is no injury."

"On the Chinese team, goalkeeper Ou Chuliang; defenders are Xu Yunlong, Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng; midfielder Li Ming, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, Qi Hong; forward Yang Chen, Li Jinyu. This list is somewhat different from what we predicted. Zhang Enhua did not become, Shao Jiayi still replaced Li Ming. In the front midfielder position, Horton chose the younger Qi Hong, and Li Jinyu also replaced Hao Haixi on the front line."

"This is a bold attempt. Although today's game is just a friendly match, it will definitely only benefit and not harm us to compete with the top teams in the world. This is a good learning opportunity for us. I hope every player can do his best to play..."

Huang Jianxiang spoke very quickly, no different from ordinary fans, and they were all very excited.

"hey-hey,"

"Old opponent, the myth of Gongti's unbeaten was broken by England." Zhang Lu was a little calm and had a thick manuscript in his hand. He recalled deeply, "In 1996, China was 0:3 England, and Gongti's unbeaten myth was shattered. Because he was preparing for the European Cup at that time, the English national team sent almost all the main players to visit China. Hiller, Gascoin, McManaman and other superstars were all listed, and even the referees were the world whistle Corina. Because the stars of the England team all hoped to win the trust of head coach Venables through their performance in the warm-up match, this game was real. In the end, England beat the Chinese team with Bambie's double score and Gascoin's 3:0 goal, and the myth of Gongti's unbeaten was broken. This game also allowed Chinese fans to see the real gap between Chinese football and world-class teams."

"The plot today is different. After all, there is still one year left before the 2000 European Championships, and the players Mann contacted have to prepare for the Champions League and the Sprint League. They may play carefully and cannot play to their true level. We still have hope!"

Zhang Lu looked at it objectively, "In the sprint stage of the season, no one will play too seriously. Of course, it is the same for us. It depends on the attitude the players use to face this game."

Listening to Zhang Lu talk about the myth of the Invincible Worker's Physical Education, Huang Jianxiang also took over.

"The undefeated Gongshi is a beautiful memory and a coincidence. Whether it is Guoan or the national team, against Sampdoria, against Gremio, etc. Now it is a spirit, which is the spirit of not fearing strong players, being proactive, striving tenaciously, and striving for the first place. You say that we are strong, not. It is a spirit."

"But we should see that commercial competitions are always just commercial competitions. We cannot regard them as a real show of strength. We can learn a lot, but we must not inflate ourselves..."

※※※※

In the player channel, almost every Chinese player's eyes fell on David Beckham and Irving. These two players are the most brilliant players in England after all, and even the light of England's No. 1 scorer Hiller can't compete with it.

Qi Hong stared at David Beckham with his eyes fixed on him, and even Li Ming couldn't help but look at Beckham.

Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai and others were all staring at Shearer and Irving. Although they both played football in England, they had different levels and had no chance to meet. They didn’t have a chance in the League Cup or the FA Cup because Crystal Palace’s level is really not good.

Even Zheng Zhi did not miss such an opportunity because he was curious about what Beckham and Irving looked like in this era.

Only one person's face was very calm, and Su Maozhen, who had not entered, was still interested in hiding in the inconspicuous corner, and his eyes fell on the white wall.

But he still attracted the attention of Englishman Scholes. If Chinese players were curiously staring at British players, Scholes's eyes were similar. From the first second he stood in the player's passage, he looked at Su Maozhen.

It looks familiar,

I think I've seen this guy somewhere.

“Gary,”

"Do you think this Chinese look familiar?" He pulled the corner of Gary Neville's clothes.

Gary Neville turned his head and looked at Su Maozhen.

“Huh,”

"Yes,"

"Is he Su? Su back then?"

"Ah, yes, it's Su, it's him, it's him! Absolutely," Scholes's eyes lit up, and he finally confirmed the guess in his heart.

He took small steps towards Su Maozhen, and this move quickly attracted the attention of Chinese players.

"Su?"

"I'm Paul Scholes, do you remember?"

What's the situation? The Chinese team members were almost stunned. Although most people don't understand English, Scholes's behavior was too unexpected, right? He took the initiative to say hello to Su Maozhen?

"Hello, Paul, of course I remember you." Su Maozhen's face squeezed a hint of embarrassing smile.

Well, can he not remember Scholes and the others? He once played football in Manchester United youth team together, and everyone's cooperation was very good at that time. Naturally, the handsome Beckham also remembered it, but eight or nine years later, they became international stars, and he was still just the unknown Su Maozhen.

In 1991, Su Maozhen was invited to try out for Manchester United youth team. He might have been the first Asian star to join Manchester United!

He had outstanding performances in Manchester United youth team back then.

I still remember that in the first match between Manchester United Youth and Yorkshire Benny Youth, Su Maozhen used two headers to help the team defeat the opponent 7-1. Su Maozhen was even more out of control in the next game. In the second game of playing for Manchester United Youth, he wore the No. 10 jersey and scored a hat trick. In the third game, he not only scored the team's first record but also created a penalty.

On December 2, 1989, two days before Su Maozhen officially signed with Manchester United, he had a comminuted fracture of his right ankle during the game. The next day, Jazz Charlton went to the hospital with the club manager to visit Su Maozhen. The strong Su Maozhen did not cry. He hoped to stay strong in front of noble people.

But when Mrs. Brand, who is very caring for him, came, countless grievances and disappointments surged in his heart. Su Maozhen burst into tears in the arms of his "British mother". He knew that his Manchester United trip was over.

In 1991, Manchester United invited Su Maozhen to try out again, and competed with Beckham, Scholes, Bart, Neville brothers and others in the youth team. However, their test performance was not good, so they missed the opportunity to join Manchester United again...
