Chapter 62
The referee on duty waited until Chen Huan finished celebrating, then ran over with a smile and showed him a yellow card.
Taking off clothes to celebrate will get a yellow card, and Chen Huan gladly accepted it.
The game continued.
In the next 20 minutes, neither Manchester United nor Crystal Palace could break through the goal of both teams. Manchester United won 1:0 against Crystal Palace and took away three points away from home.
After this game, Manchester United's next game will be more than ten days later, and the players have been given two days of vacation to recuperate.
Father and mother Chen flew back to Longguo the day after Manchester United's game against Crystal Palace.
The two old people have lived in Longguo for most of their lives. Although this country is good, it is not home after all.
Chen Huan did not force his parents to stay. Anyway, he still has more than 10 million pounds of after-tax signing fees from Manchester United in his bank account. He has asked his friends in Longguo to help his parents buy a luxury house in a suitable location in his hometown.
"It's great to be rich."
On the weekend, Chen Huan just finished training in the gym of his new mansion, took off his clothes and jumped into the jacuzzi and said this.
The mansion he is currently renting is priced at 2.65 million pounds, and he has already considered buying it.
"Ding——"
The phone rang at this moment. Chen Huan picked it up and glanced at it. He was suddenly stunned.
This was a number that Chen Huan was both familiar with and unfamiliar with. It belonged to Li Yongqiang, the head coach of the Yuanhong team and the mentor who promoted him from the echelon to the first team.
Chen Huan came to his senses and quickly pressed the answer button.
"Xiao Huan, are you busy now?"
As soon as the call was connected, Li Yongqiang's signature slightly serious but cheerful voice came from the receiver.
"Boss, I'm not busy. I just finished training and am taking a break."
"Well, did you know that I have resigned as the head coach of the Yuanhong team?" Chen Huan was stunned again. Since coming to England, he has been busy with training and competitions in order to take the throne of the main force as soon as possible, and rarely pays attention to the news in Longguo.
"I don't know, have you had a conflict with the club?"
Chen Huan asked tentatively.
To be honest, Yuanhong Football Club and Li Yongqiang are both very special to him.
He is a player trained by Yuanhong Youth Team, and the club is like his home. Li Yongqiang promoted him to the first team against all odds when he was still playing in the echelon at that time, which was also a favor to him.
If there was a dispute between the two sides, it would be difficult for him to choose a side.
"No, my contract with the Yuanhong team expired and I did not choose to renew it. Now I am coaching the national youth team. I called you this time for the Panda Cup. The national team coach intends to recruit you to join the national team, but is afraid that flying back and forth will affect your status in Manchester United, so let me talk about your tone."
"Panda Cup? What is this?"Chen Huan was a little puzzled.
"Next year, our Dragon Country will participate in the 2015 Asian Cup.……"
Li Yongqiang's voice began to tremble slightly
"Our Long Country has not been able to qualify in the Asian Cup group stage for eleven consecutive years. This time, we must qualify in any way. To achieve this goal, our country has called together East Asian countries to hold a small cup competition to train troops."
Chen Huan understood, this is a bit like a friendly match between national teams.
The Asian Cup, like the World Cup, is held every four years.
And Long Country has not appeared in the group stage of the Asian Cup for eleven years.
The level of football in Asia is far behind that of football in other continents.
This is undoubtedly an eleven-year shame for Long Country football.
""How many matches will be played in the Panda Cup? When will they be held?"
Chen Huan made a decision.
The goal of the World Cup may be too far away, but in the 2015 Asian Cup, he must lead the Dragon National Team to take another step forward!
"In addition to the Dragon National Team, the Panda Cup also invited three other national teams, namely the Mongolian National Team, the Fuso National Team, and the Korean National Team. According to the communication between our football associations, they will all send their first-team teams to compete."
"The first game will be on November 18th at the Capital Victory Stadium against the Fuso national team!"
"If we can beat Fuso, we will enter the finals and face the winner of the other group on November 20. But you don't have to worry too much about the game on the 20th. We haven't beaten Fuso for a long time."
"The Dragon Country national team's roster will be released tomorrow, and they will have another week of training. Do you... want to join in?"
"I can, boss, please tell the national team to ask them to ask Manchester United to play for the national team. They should let me go back to Longguo to participate in the Panda Cup."Chen Huan made his own decision.
He has never played for the Longguo national team, nor for the U-series youth team.
Since he has decided to lead the national football team to qualify for the Asian Cup in Australia, he must have some games with the national team before that.
And because Manchester United has no Champions League games to play this season, the players have no pressure from European wars.
The club's next opponent is Arsenal at home on November 23. After playing in the Panda Cup, he still has time to return to Manchester to prepare for the game against Arsenal.
""Okay! Okay!"
Li Yongqiang's slightly excited voice came from the other end of the phone. Before Chen Huan could say anything else, the phone was hung up.
Then everything went very smoothly. The Longguo national team sent an invitation to Manchester United to recruit Chen Huan to represent the national team in the Panda Cup. After communicating with Chen Huan, the Manchester United club officials and physical trainers agreed to the national team's request.
……
On November 10, the official website of the Dragon Football Association released a list of the national team for the Panda Cup.
Among all the Dragon clubs, the information about Chen Huan from the Premier League - Manchester United - seemed out of place.
Later, Manchester United's official publicity platform also reposted the list of the national team, and the Panda Cup, which was not paid much attention to in East Asia, was immediately pushed to the forefront.
"What is the Panda Cup?"
"Where can I watch the Panda Cup game? Please give me the link!"
"Oh my god, I want to watch Chen's game, please give me a channel to watch the Panda Cup."
In the comment section of Manchester United's repost, thousands of messages from all over the world emerged in just ten minutes. Manchester United
's next game will be more than ten days later, so it's not bad to watch Chen's game in the meantime.
The fans of Longguo naturally reacted enthusiastically.
After so many years, their Longguo national team finally has an international player who can start in the top five leagues.
