Chapter 4 I'm the goalkeeper, why are you giving me this template?
For a group of young players who lack basic skills and whose footwork is as rough as an X.
Even with the best material conditions and training system, they are still the same old team when they come together – a complete makeshift operation.
Su Yu followed the national Olympic team's closed training for five days in this orderly manner.
In Su Yu's opinion, the national Olympic team's level is really only good enough to be eliminated in the first round of the group stage. So he was just a little more proactive in the first training session. The rest of the time he just did his job as a goalkeeper honestly and conscientiously.
Of course, this was also partly because Li Weifeng, the current senior figure of both the national football team and the Olympic team, was standing in front of him. With Li Weifeng present, Su Yu naturally couldn't give orders to others so loudly anymore.
After all, the older brother and Zheng Zhi also have their pride!
Su Yu was just passing the time, quietly waiting for the official template he had been longing for for two and a half years.
Meanwhile, the media, which has always loved to use Chinese football as a sensational topic, were once again in a frenzy.
With nationwide attention and several years of professional training, not only the media, but even the current coaching staff and Olympic team members feel that this Olympics is a chance to vindicate Chinese football.
On August 5th, CTV5, as an official media outlet, entered the national team's closed training base and conducted an exclusive interview with Yin Tiesheng, the current head coach of the national Olympic team.
The reporter asked a very direct question, and Yin Tiesheng answered very concisely.
"We are full of confidence in advancing from the group stage. Our biggest opponent is not Brazil; our biggest opponent is actually ourselves! Brazil will definitely advance. We just need to beat the other two opponents and finish second to achieve our goal for this Olympics!"
Tsk tsk tsk........
Coach Yin spoke with absolute certainty, but Zheng Zhi, sitting next to him, barely responded.
There's no way around it; Zheng Zhi, who hasn't been back from playing abroad for very long, is well aware of the true quality of the current national Olympic team.
Of course, Zheng Zhi didn't dare say a word during this time of national celebration.
And so, the reporters left with a satisfactory answer.
That afternoon, the content of Yin Tiesheng's interview was published by major domestic media outlets.
Sina.com: "Yin Tiesheng: Our biggest rival is not Brazil; our goal is to advance as the second-place team in our group!"
Sohu.com: "China's Olympic team has an extremely high probability of advancing from the group stage; Chinese football may be facing a true leap forward!"
Tencent.com: "The 05 Platinum Generation Returns to the World Stage; Regrets May Be Made More Away..."
..................................
Domestic media outlets then began to sing its praises wildly.
However, somewhat surprisingly, perhaps it was to get the Brazilian team to also support China or something.
These remarks by Yin Tiesheng were actually mentioned by a busybody reporter at the Brazilian team's official pre-match press conference.
Because China is the host country, their debut match will be a day later than Brazil's. Therefore, Brazil held its official pre-match press conference earlier than China.
At the press conference, a reporter from Sina.com proactively asked Brazil's Olympic team coach Dunga whether he thought China would advance as the second-place team in the group stage, and which Chinese players Dunga knew.
When this question came up, Dunga was a little stunned!
China's Olympic team?
It's true that Dunga didn't know any of the Chinese Olympic team's players by name, while he was very familiar with strong players like Kompany and Vertonghen from the Belgian team.
However, since his team was playing on Chinese soil, Dunga still offered a very polite compliment to the Chinese team.
"The Chinese Olympic team is a very strong team, with several outstanding players. I believe China has a very good chance of qualifying!"
Dunga's answer was vague and polite, but the reporter, completely overwhelmed by the breaking news, relentlessly pressed him, asking who on the national Olympic team he knew...
The old man was annoyed. How the hell would he know which outstanding players were on the national Olympic team?
However, just as the old man was about to skip over the question, Ronaldinho, the captain of the Brazilian Olympic team who had been sitting to the side staring at a blonde female reporter named Mimi for a long time, suddenly turned around and spoke up.
"Su! My teammate Su! He's a guy with potential and boundless energy!"
As if he had just thought of something, after suddenly mentioning Su Yu, Xiao Luo even showed his signature smile in front of the camera.
Got it!
Ronaldinho's comment certainly made the reporters present feel good, even excited.
Although Su Yu is seen by domestic fans as a prodigy who lacks ambition and has not achieved much, even world-class stars like Ronaldinho acknowledged Su Yu as their teammate and praised him.
No surprises!
Following the press conference in Brazil.
Su Yu's name naturally appeared once again on the front page of various domestic media outlets.
...........................
"Hey, Xiaoyu, you and Xiaoluo seem to have a pretty good relationship?"
Training base, in a double dormitory room.
Hao Junmin, who lives with Su Yu, suddenly asked after scrolling through the news on his phone.
"Forehead......."
The news had gone viral across the country, so Su Yu had naturally seen Xiao Luo mention his situation in the news long ago.
However, Hao Junmin asked a very direct question, but what Su Yu was thinking about at that moment was something he found difficult to say.
yes....
He did know Ronaldinho, even though he hadn't played many games for the first team, and didn't have many opportunities to train.
But he has sat with Ronaldinho at private gatherings several times.
Ronaldinho... although his skills far surpass his, his ranking within the Barcelona team isn't very high.
But he's different. It wasn't just the female team doctor who revealed it during the team's physical exam, but also his teammates' comments during several all-night parties at nightclubs—he's truly number one...
"Isn't this a pointless question? You've been with Barcelona's first team for almost a year now, so it's normal for you to have a good relationship with Ronaldinho... But what does 'full of energy' mean? Is it a mistranslation?"
................................
Everything proceeded in this absurd and bizarre state of optimism.
And as the only one who is sober!
Su Yu, however, did not have any hope for his team.
2008 8 Month 6 Day.
With only two days left until the opening of the Beijing Olympics, and less than a day until the national Olympic team's debut, the team is poised to make its first appearance in the tournament.
The entire capital city is in a state of high tension as preparations begin for tomorrow's opening ceremony. Equally, and perhaps even more, is Su Yu, the national Olympic team's starting goalkeeper, who has just finished his final training session before the tournament.
I closed the door and lay down on the bed.
Su Yu skillfully entered his system space, which he had entered countless times before.
It's the same panel as before.

.............
Su Yu stared intently at the countdown until it finally reached 0...
As the countdown ended, the system space immediately burst into a dazzling golden light.
The trial period for the system template has officially ended.
The trial template's talents and skills have been permanently saved.
[Official template extraction in progress!]
The golden light grew even more dazzling...
A dark, bottomless tunnel has appeared in the original system space.
A figure in pure black emerged slowly from the tunnel, its appearance completely obscured.
Only when the figure fully appeared in front of Su Yu did the system sound the crisp notification sound that Su Yu had been longing for for two and a half years!
【Ding dong! 】
[Congratulations, host, you have drawn the SSS-level template -- Javier Hernandez Cruz --]
[Host unlocks official position---Midfielder]
[Basic attributes and talent caps have been updated]
【.........................】
Su Yu was dumbfounded!
What the heck...?
He's a goalkeeper...
Why the hell are they giving themselves a Barcelona Xavi template?
Does a goalkeeper like him need this thing? Does he expect to just rush to midfield and spin around like a madman?
