After the two chatted, Mi Jikuan asked about a content he was concerned about: "When I was still studying, I read such a report, which introduced a Chinese junior high school team who went abroad to compete and finally won the fifth place."

"At the time, except for a little excitement, I didn't have any more feelings. Later, I carefully checked the relevant reports of that year, and I was surprised to find that there seemed to be the figures of your Yucheng players in this invitational tournament called the Zagreb Cup. Can you give me a detailed introduction to this situation?"

Long Tian laughed: "You should ask the person involved, all three of them are here."

"Oh, I actually selected three people at once. It's not bad. Who are they?" Mi Jikuan asked with concern.

"Li Weizhen, Xu Te and Xie Zhan." Long Tian calmly said the names of these three elder brothers and seniors.

Mi Jikuan nodded in admiration: "The three of them are the current pillars of the team. It seems that their talent began to show off a long time ago. I only know that their 85 student players were wonderful in the first Qihang Cup Junior High School Football Competition in 1999. I didn't expect that the three of them would have the magical experience of winning glory for the country."

Long Tian is already familiar with the experience of his elder brother. When he sees him so interested, he naturally tells it;

Adding his personal understanding, it is a bit exaggerated, but it basically restores the feat of the Chinese team's victory to the quarterfinals under the strong enemy, with ups and downs like watching a movie.

In 2000, the Internet was not popular enough, and there were not many information about the invitational tournament. It took a lot of effort to obtain a small amount of information;

The introduction of just a few words made him understand it. It was not until today that he truly understood the whole picture of the game through Long Tian's oral statement, and his admiration for the players increased a little.

Although this Chinese team has youth training students joined, it is a team gathered in the name of junior high school students, representing the level of campus football in my country in junior high school;

In that era when there was little attention, the level of campus football in our country was at the bottom of the world;

The complete loss to the two traditional sports powers in the first two group matches reflects this embarrassing situation;

And this group of young men who did not give up, the starting point for them to start a counterattack. They slaughtered Australia with six goals, and even now, they can feel extremely excited and inspiring.

The most glorious moment comes in the knockout stage, and defeating Portugal, which is popular to win the championship, is eye-catching;

Although they eventually lost the host, their hard-core performance of daring to fight and fighting in the game once forced the strongest hottest in the tournament into a desperate situation. The remarkable performance of these Chinese teenagers also left a deep impression on the locals.

After hearing this encounter, Mi Jikuan also sighed: "Portugal and Croatia at the turn of thousands of years are both very strong teams, and the teams from their domestic teams will not be bad. It is already an extraordinary performance to be able to fight these two strong teams."

Long Tian nodded and catered: "Yes, I also remember that in those years, China's performance in the youth team was very poor, and even the National Olympic Team could not beat South Korea."

"It's not just very bad, it's simply unbearable. If it weren't for the successful qualifying of the top ten matches of the Chinese national football team, Chinese football would have accomplished nothing in those years. Therefore, under such a background, it would be very difficult for these junior high school students to be so successful." Mei Jikuan's experience is richer than Long Tian, ​​and his understanding is naturally deeper than that of him.

Long Tian looked at him with a smile and said mysteriously in a tone that he had already seen through: "If I tell you, what future superstars are among these participating teams, you will be even more incredible."

Mi Jikuan glanced at him sideways: "Isn't it just a junior high school competition? What other big names can participate in it?"

"Does Ronaldo and Modric be big names?" Long Tian's firm tone had a little provocative look.

"What, they both participated? It shouldn't be. Both were born in 1985 and were 15 years old in 2000. They should have entered the echelon training." Mei Jikuan instinctively doubted;

But after thinking about it, there seems to be another thing, "One of them is a poor man from a small island overseas, and there is a drunk father who almost knocked him out when his mother got pregnant with him; the other is a war refugee, who has been wandering around with her parents since she was a child. It seems that she got some opportunity and joined the national team, and then she gradually played out."

Long Tian spread his hands and blinked, his firm eyes clearly told him: This is indeed the case.

Mi Jikuan ignored his flauntful eyes, and his keen media sense of smell quickly gave him a new idea: "Little Ronaldo is currently the most popular star player in the world. His team is about to arrive tomorrow. I believe this past is not well-known to everyone. There are too many articles to do here."

He is an action-oriented person who does whatever he wants and will never delay. "Okay, my goal to find you today has been achieved. Now I have to go back and do some homework to prepare for tomorrow's interview. I also want to find detailed information about the Zagreb Invitational Tournament, so I won't talk to you anymore."

Long Tian waved his hand with a wicked smile: "When it comes to Manchester United, I'll give you some more information. There was also a player named Rooney in the English team that won the Chinese team in the group stage."

"Is it the Lu Xiaopang from Manchester United?" Mi Jikuan asked curiously.

"Absolute deity." Long Tian nodded firmly.

As soon as Mi Jikuan heard about the treasure, he couldn't wait to leave;

I was in a hurry to return to my residence, conduct division of labor searches, and do my best to dig deep into the little things of the competition that year.
Chapter completed!
