Master Tutoring Class

Chapter 187 Departure! Kanagawa Prefecture! (Fifth Update)

"Master, let's go!"

Xue Guohao called out, signaling to the bus driver that they could head back to the base.

Yang Fan hurriedly shouted, "Coach! Coach! Someone's been left behind! Old Wei hasn't gotten on the bus yet!"

Xue Guohao turned his head: "Wei Lai took a day off and will be back the day after tomorrow."

He then turned his head again to indicate that the bus could start.

With the hum of the engine, the bus slowly drove away from Sanlihe Stadium.

The following day, Bohai Port Immigration Management Center.

Wei Lai and Wei Chenggong walked out of the office. Wei Lai was holding his passport, and a new visa stamp was clearly visible on one of the pages.

After Wei Lai signed a contract with Atlético Amsterdam, the other party had already sent out an invitation.

Wei Lai came here specifically to apply for a visa.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not too late to handle it after the World Youth Championship!"

Wei Chenggong shook his head and sighed.

Wei Lai: "I don't plan to go back to China. After the U17 World Cup ends, I will go directly to the Netherlands."

Wei Chenggong: "Your contract takes effect on January 20th. Even if you go earlier, you still won't be able to play!"

Wei Lai: "But I can adapt in advance. I didn't expect to get the opportunity directly. After all, there will always be a competition process."

Sigh...!

Wei Chenggong suddenly sighed.

He was somewhat unsure whether Wei Lai's decision to go to the Netherlands was the right one.

When he first heard the news, he was indeed very excited and thrilled.

But what followed was a sense of unease and anxiety, after all, it was the Amsterdam Arena!
Not only was the internal competition fierce, but it was also a completely unfamiliar environment, and he didn't know if Wei Lai could adapt.

Jiaozhou Wely is, after all, Wei Lai's mother club. In this club, Wei Lai naturally receives tremendous support and is given a lot of opportunities. But it's different at Amsterdam Athletic.

Wei Lai noticed the conflict on Wei Chenggong's face and smiled reassuringly:
"Dad! Don't worry, it doesn't really matter where I go. I was going to take this step eventually, so don't worry about it."

After saying that, Wei Lai said, "You don't need to see me off then, I can go by myself!"

"That won't work!"

Wei Chenggong said decisively, "I must go this time. I have to check it out for you."

Wei Laiyao got his visa, but that still couldn't stop Wei Chenggong from accompanying him.

In Wei's view, the latter had absolutely no need to go.

Communication and negotiation depend on oneself. Even if Wei Chenggong went, he would remain silent throughout the entire process.

But Wei Lai couldn't offer much advice; after all, as a parent, Wei Chenggong needed peace of mind.

He wanted to see for himself the living conditions of Wei Lai, so that he would have a better understanding of the situation when he returned.

"Going back?"

Wei Chenggong glanced at Wei Lai sideways.

Wei Lai nodded: "The second round of warm-up matches is about to begin."

Wei Chenggong suddenly sighed: "Your mother has been complaining lately that she never sees anyone at home all day long."

Wei Lai was silent for a moment, then turned his head and smiled, "Dad, I'll leave this ideological work to you."

Wei Chenggong laughed and scolded, "This task is quite difficult; your mother might not listen to me."

Wei Lai laughed and said, "My mom listens to you quite a bit, she just gets a little temperamental sometimes, but you can easily coax her!"

"Stop arguing, let's go!"

Wei Chenggong smiled and patted Wei Lai's head affectionately.

The two went to the train station together and boarded the high-speed train back to Dafeng City.

The second round of warm-up matches will be held on October 23.

This was the last warm-up match before the official competition, and the Chinese U17 team was on high alert. However, without any major setbacks, the Chinese U17 team secured a clean 3-0 victory. This scoreline was achieved despite the team significantly reducing its attacking options in preparation for the upcoming matches. For Chinese fans who watched both matches, this U17 team seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

They possess superb skills, high tactical awareness, and quick transitions between offense and defense. Most importantly, they play with exceptional confidence!
There was absolutely no sense of panic; they proceeded steadily and cautiously, pressing forward step by step.

Neither Saudi Arabia nor Uzbekistan seemed to be able to force the Chinese youth team to unleash its full potential.

This makes them even more excited for this U17 World Cup.

10月28号，中国U17国少队出现在大奉市的机场，他们将从这里出发前往日本参加2026年U17世界杯。

The U17 World Cup, after all, is a U-series competition, and although it is spearheaded by FIFA, it still doesn't have much influence.

Fans can support their teams from home, but asking them to put aside their work and lives to travel to Japan for a U-series tournament is asking too much.

Apart from a few core fans, such as the Chinese Dragons and other organizations, most fans still watch the games through television or online broadcasts.

"Come on!"

"Go for it, Wei Lai!"

"He Chaoyue! Show them what's what!"

"Xiang Ming! Keep it up!"

"Yang Fan, just do it!"

At Dafeng Airport, many fans went to see him off.

Although they couldn't go to Japan to cheer them on, they still came here to see the boys off on their journey to the battlefield.

The entire national youth team, including players, coaches, and staff, totaling more than 30 people, set off in a grand procession.

The 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Japan is coming!

(P.S.: The U17 World Cup and the Adult World Cup mentioned in the article have not yet been expanded and still maintain the format of 32 teams competing!)
Japan's regional administrative divisions are generally based on metropolitan areas, circuits, prefectures, and counties.

It consists of one metropolis (Tokyo), one circuit (Hokkaido), two prefectures (Osaka and Kyoto), and 43 counties.

The majority of the matches in this U17 World Cup were held in the Kanto Plain.

This includes the eight prefectures radiating outwards from Tokyo.

The destination of the Chinese national youth team this time is Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture, which is located on the outskirts of the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Kanagawa Prefecture has a population of approximately 900 million, making it a top-tier prefecture in Japan.

Of course, it is much smaller than Tokyo, but it is still considered a relatively prosperous place in Japan.

Upon the arrival of the Chinese U17 national youth team, staff members immediately made arrangements.

The coaching staff is in contact with the organizers.

The players waited on the sidelines.

"Hello, two orders of oden!"

Chen Shaojie ordered two servings of oden and turned to call out, "Does anyone want some oden?"

Yang Fan and Pei Le immediately raised their hands.

Chen Shaojie turned his head and said in Japanese, "Two more servings!"

The auntie was packing four servings of oden into a box at the window, watching them curiously as she said:
"You're from China, are you here to participate in the competition?"

Chen Shaojie nodded; "Yes!"

"It must be very tough, I hope you all get good results!"

Chen Shaojie made a polite remark before returning with the oden.

"Ouch!"

Yang Fan took a bite of the lucky bag and muttered, "You can speak Japanese too?"

"I taught myself!" Chen Shaojie grinned.

Wei Lai rolled his eyes. This guy is into anime and manga!
When it comes to the best of anime and manga, it's definitely Japan, the birthplace of the genre.

"Leave me a sip of soup!"
