Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

Without any major surprises, the two void ghosts of Li Xuan and Wu Yuce soon fell under the sword rain of Ye Yu Shengfan and the thunder of Dameng Xianjue.

This race was very fast, so fast that it was only slightly slower than an individual competition.

The Void Twins, one of the strongest duos in the country, lost the game.

Ye Yu Sheng Fan: [Do you accept it or not? Is it harmful to you, Master Huang? ]

"Okay, okay, yes, yes, okay, okay, I obey." Li Xuan responded perfunctorily, but he couldn't calm down in his heart.

Isn't it a bit too strong?
The spectators were also in an uproar. With Zhang Jiale's forced creation of opportunities, Huang Shaotian's danger level almost doubled. Some people had already begun to cautiously ask the members of the Embers Team whether Zhang Jiale had any plans to transfer to Blue Rain.

And the subsequent team competition...

In fact, there is no need to continue.

Tacticians from several teams studied the thinking of all the members of the Russian national team for several days, watched all of the Russian national team's knockout matches in recent years, and wrote down several notebooks of possible tactics derived from their personalities, filling dozens of pages with notes and documents, but only one word could be read between the lines.

【reckless】

This time they really had no other choice.

Recklessness can be said to be the simplest tactical play, but it is also the most difficult play.

The requirement is simple, which is to crush it with absolute force.

The requirements are also very high, which is to crush with absolute strength.

This took the tacticians a long time to discuss but they still couldn't come to a conclusion.

There is no other way. All those who are capable of what the Chinese Professional League has done are now in the national team. Although there are many first-class professional players outside the national team, it is completely impossible for them to go head-on with the national team members with absolute strength.

"Is this the limit... Tsk, what about the other groups? How about trying a team competition style from another country?" Ye Xiu asked helplessly in the group voice chat.

"This……"

"We are still in the process of research, Brother Ye." Liu Hao's voice was somewhat helpless: "For now, they are all semi-finished products, but this is definitely not what you want, right?"

“Hey, everyone… please work hard for a while.” Ye Xiu felt a little helpless and scratched his head.

This simulation training match ended so abruptly.

Ye Xiu took off his headphones and glanced at the calendar.

If this continues, I will always feel uncertain...

"Ye Xiu and the national team are probably still unsure right now." Lin Jingyan took off his headphones helplessly. "The national team's training must have reached a bottleneck. It's impossible for us to be perfect just by imitating them. In the end, we still have to arrange friendly matches...Xiaobai, what do your friends say?"

"That guy hasn't been online these past few days. I wonder where he's been." Bai Shu felt helpless and opened his LINE: "Let me try again..."

Bai: [Where did the person die? Answer me! ]

I didn't hold out much hope and was just about to put my phone away when a soft ding-dong sound caught everyone's attention.

Bai Shu was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out his mobile phone. The original message had been changed to read, and by the way, there were also warm greetings from friends.

Ilya: [Who are you? Don’t contact me. I don’t know you. Thank you.]

England

After the Super League ended, Elijah went on a trip with his family. The place they went to was a bit remote, and there was no signal in the desert. They relied on satellite phones the whole time.

After returning to modern civilized society, the first thing I did was to take out my smartphone, which was almost covered in dust, and find a way to import the photos in the camera into it.

After turning on his long-unused mobile phone, Elijah saw his old classmate who had been contacting him frantically in the past few days.

This white...

A smile appeared on Elijah's face. He and Bai Shu were classmates in college and also teammates on the school team. They were both spotted by professional teams while in school and passed the assessments of the professional teams.

However, Bai Shu still had the idea of ​​returning to China, and he kept muttering that others would go crazy if he continued to eat French fries and fish for a few more years. So, after his friend invited him to return to China to create a team, he left.

Of course, even after Bai Shu returned to China, the two of them kept in touch. Although the frequency was not high, they were still in touch.

It was not until Bai Shu's team entered the China Glory Professional League and he became a substitute for the first team that their contact became less frequent.

Of course, I have never missed any news about Bai Shu, and I would watch the games that Bai Shu participated in from time to time.

It’s just… it’s hard to put into words.

If he hadn't confirmed again and again that Gong Yu was Bai Shu, Elijah would never have believed that a person could change so much.

Besides, it's damn hard to get anyone to admit that they know him.

When his current teammates asked about the white Shu who seemed to be Ilya's friend and old classmate, Ilya would always shake his head politely but distantly.

I know the person you are talking about, but we are not familiar with each other at all. We have no relationship...

So, Elijah subconsciously made a joke when he replied.

What he didn't expect was that soon there was an international call, and the IP address was from China...

"Well, international long-distance calls are very expensive. Are you sure it can be reimbursed?" Bai Shu looked around and confirmed.

"I'll reimburse you! Even if Ye Xiu doesn't reimburse you, I will, okay?" Old Wei cursed angrily.

Bai Shu chuckled and was about to say something when the phone was connected: "Hello? Who is this?"

"Don't give me that crap. Do you know any other Chinese people besides me?" Bai Shu cursed with a smile.

"That's true. By the way, I read the news about your professional league. Congratulations on winning the championship this year." Elijah's voice was a little lazy.

"Ah, congratulations, we are about to establish a dynasty, and the pressure is actually quite great."

"Go to hell."

……

"What are they talking about?" Old Wei scratched his head and looked at the others.

"My English is not very good." Lin Jingyan smiled awkwardly: "How about calling Lao Lu from the guild?" "That's a good idea..." Fang Shijing was also a little embarrassed. He looked at Qiu Fei with a calm face. There was some confusion in Qiu Fei's serious eyes.

This is their blind spot in knowledge...

"Okay, stop being polite. Don't you Chinese have an old saying that goes, 'No one comes to see you for no reason'? What do you want to do with me this time? Are you planning to develop in the Super League?" Elijah said jokingly, "If that's the case, I can introduce you to someone, but your knight style of play will get you scolded to death, right?"

"Go to hell, I'm living a good and happy life here, and the relationships with my teammates couldn't be better. Seniors... Although there are some issues with seniors, overall everyone is a great person." Bai Shu said with a smile: "But, speaking of which, I did come to you for an introduction... Let me ask in advance, how are you doing in the Super League?"

"Not bad, I was in the Hall of Fame last year." Elijah said calmly, "Hall of Fame."

"Haha, your gigolo face doesn't surprise me at all." Bai Shu said happily: "Do you know about the World Invitational Tournament?"

"Of course, but it's a pity that I was not selected... Wait, you guys can't be?!" Elijah sat up suddenly.

No, buddy, there is something wrong with you, right? Although I am worried that you will have a hard time, but if you drive a Land Rover, you will have a harder time!

"That's not the case, but five of our team were selected." Bai Shu smiled and asked, "How many of Sprout were selected?"

"The captain and vice-captain have been selected... do you want them?"

"That's right. How about contacting them and arranging a friendly match with our Chinese national team? Speaking of which, your independent training should be reaching a bottleneck soon, right? Now is the time to arrange training with other national teams. Can you act as a middleman?"

Ilya thought for a moment and said, "I will contact the captain, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed."

"Your words are enough. Go and contact him now. I'll wait for your news." Bai Shu urged.

……

"Brother, it's still early in the morning here. If I call the captain now and wake him up, he will definitely kill me, you bastard!" Elijah said gritting his teeth.

Um, I almost forgot about this question.

"I'll contact you by phone when there's results. That's it. Bye." Bai Shu hung up the phone decisively.

Ilya looked at the cut-off communication and almost laughed out of anger. Is this what China calls "employing people forward and not using them backward"? Is it so realistic?

However, in terms of training matches...

Can it be considered a meritorious service?

After thinking for a moment, Ilya edited the scheduled email.

……

Two days later.

"Friendly match? Against the England national team?" Huang Shaotian's eyes lit up and he almost jumped up.

To be honest, the top professional players are certainly not the ones who can’t stand loneliness and boring training, but it does get a bit boring like this, doesn’t it?

After suddenly learning the news, not to mention Huang Shaotian, even someone as calm as Zhang Xinjie was a little excited.

"That's right. It was mainly thanks to Bai Shu from Team Ember that we got in touch with the England national team. The time is set for tomorrow afternoon." Ye Xiu nodded.

The others looked at each other and saw some intention in each other's eyes.

How to allocate personnel?
“Ahem, to be fair, it is our Ember team that took the credit this time, so, no one has any objection to our Ember taking up five places, right?” Fang Rui coughed twice.

"I'm sure you have no objection." Zhang Jiale nodded repeatedly: "If it really doesn't work, let's raise our hands and vote?"

"Do you have any shame? Please have some dignity, even though you don't have much of this kind of thing to begin with!" Huang Shaotian was the first to jump out and objected.

"I also think we should be fair." Tang Hao looked at Sun Zheping.

"What? Let's start with tomorrow's qualifying match today?"

"Who's going to shoot who? Come on! One on one!"

I knew it would be like this.

Looking at the children who were about to fight, Teacher Ye Xiu's head began to hurt again: "Be quiet! Stop making noise! ​​What kind of person is this! Look at Zhang Xinjie! Learn from him!"

"If you just say that we won't bring a priest to this team match, you'll see whether Zhang Xinjie will be anxious or not." Huang Shaotian muttered.

……

Makes sense, huh?
"We won't play every game without a priest, so we have to adapt in advance." Zhang Xinjie pushed his glasses and said calmly.

"Shut up, Lao Yu. This match will be conducted in accordance with the standards of the official World Invitational Tournament. After all, it is an advance training session. Lao Xiao and I will not interfere. It is entirely up to you to decide. That's it, the meeting is adjourned." Ye Xiu rubbed his swollen temple and left in a hurry.

“Wait…” Before Yu Wenzhou could finish his words, he could only see Ye Xiu’s back.

This time it really is...

Yu Wenzhou looked helplessly at the professional players who were watching him eagerly, and once again felt a headache for his position as captain: "According to what the team leader said, this match against the England national team will be treated as a formal World Invitational Tournament match. Don't worry about the selection of players. Let's take a look at our next opponent first... Vice Captain Zhang?"

Zhang Xinjie nodded, walked to the front of the stage and began to debug the equipment.

"England is one of the earliest countries to have a professional league. They call their professional league the Super League. They also have 20 professional teams, and they use the last-place elimination system just like us." Yu Wenzhou began to explain based on his memory: "In contrast to our 24 All-Stars, they have something called the Hall of Fame. Each season has 36 positions, but it is generally recognized that the top 18 are ranked according to strength, and are determined by the previous year's game data.

The selection of their national team members is very simple, only the top thirteen in the Hall of Fame are selected.

These thirteen professional players are definitely the pinnacle of England in terms of hard power.

In terms of the competition system of the professional league, there are also differences between the Super League and our professional league. Their team competition adopts the six-plus-one mode, and the five-plus-one team competition mode may not be too familiar. "Yu Wenzhou continued, and at this time, Zhang Xinjie also adjusted the projector and returned to his position.

A professional player's head now appeared on the projection screen. Yu Wenzhou pointed at the person on the screen and said, "This is Pendragon, who has led his team to win the Super League championship for the past three seasons and is also the captain of the national team."

Arthur Pendragon.

Having the same name as the legendary King Arthur may be intentional, or it may just be a coincidence.

Golden hair, handsome face, and a bold aura.

"Arthur Pendragon, a knight, the best player in England's Glory, and the captain of the England national team in the World Invitational Tournament." Yu Wenzhou introduced calmly, "He is also the holder of many records in the England's Glory Professional League."
