Chapter 1 The Super Thigh Is Back
The plane from Lisbon to BJ is on its way.
The outside world was dark, and the passengers around him were already asleep.
Lucky held a tablet in his hand and was watching the game video.
Beside him, Chen Man was playing with the championship trophy.
"Tell me, why isn't this championship trophy made of pure gold?"
Lucky ignored him.
"I thought it was pure gold. I saw many people going up and taking a bite."
Lucky's cheek twitched.
"I asked you to take it before. Isn't it handsome?"
Snap!
Lucai turned off the switch, turned to look at Chen Man and said, "You've never seen a champion, right? I won this trophy four years ago!"
Hearing this, Chen Man immediately sighed and said, "What a miracle!"
Lucky; "Do you have the league championship gold medal?"
Chen Man: ""
Lucky; “Have you seen the Europa League gold medal?”
Chen Man: ""
Lucky; "Have you been selected for the best European team?"
Chen Man: ""
Lucky: "Don't show off!"
After a while, Chen Man finally recovered from the blow. He looked at Lucai and said, "Speaking of which, our group stage grouping is really fucked. The defending champion Germany is in the same group as us, and the German tanks are difficult to deal with!"
"Not necessarily!" Lucky said.
Chen Man was surprised: "Is it so arrogant? Even Germany can't stand it? How do you want to go to heaven?"
Lucky rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Take a good look at their performance in the European Cup, as well as the recent technical and tactical changes in Germany. A German tank obsessed with passing and controlling, do you feel right?"
Chen Man pondered for a moment. As a player who plays for a top team, he is also very aware that the current passing control is facing many difficulties.
For example, when pressing in a high position, many problems will be exposed.
The current overall strength of the Chinese team is considered to be in the middle of the entire World Cup echelon.
Mainly due to the existence of Lucai, Chen Man and Liu Kairui, the strength of the central axis was abruptly increased.
Moreover, based on the premise of the national team, teamwork cannot be as tacit as the club. For this reason, many situations depend on the individual performance of the players.
And in the current football world, who dares to say that his performance and state are better than Lucky's?
At least in Chen Man's mind, sitting next to him is the thickest thigh in the entire football world.
Therefore, even if they meet the German team, they are not completely without hope of winning.
Chen Man: "Are there many new people coming in this time?"
Lucky nodded and said, "Mainly some players in the World Cup qualifying stage, and many players were abandoned in the last World Cup. I guess Lippi is thinking of reassembling a team."
Chen Man; "You played two games in the qualifying round, how did it feel?"
Lucky: "It's not bad. I can't say how high my technical level is, but at least I run very hard, and many of them are young players."
Chen Man sighed: "You look strange! I don't know if you can keep up with our playing rhythm!"
Lucai squinted and said, "It's not that bad, but you have to be careful. Their passing rate and rhythm change are definitely not as fast as the league!"
Chen nodded slowly.
The two of them fell asleep while chatting.
When they opened their eyes again, the plane was already landing.
"finally reached!"
Chen Man stretched his waist.
Lucky also twisted his neck. After a long flight, he was always a little tired.
At this time, there was already a sea of people outside the Capital Airport.
The airport was almost surrounded by fans and media welcoming Lucai and Chen Man.
As the two biggest stars of the Chinese team and the top players in the world, both Lucky and Chen Man are highly anticipated by fans.
Zhang Chen and Fan Hongwu are still the leaders of the national team.
The two of them were waiting at the exit early.
"Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the last World Cup seems like yesterday!"
Zhang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Fan Hongwu smiled and said, "Yes! But this time, we can go one step further!"
Zhang Chen smiled.
Compared with four years ago, the Chinese team as a whole has strengthened again.
Not only the core points have been strengthened, but the entire staffing has also been optimized.
The emergence of some young stars has given the Chinese team a great deal of fresh blood.
I won’t mention the three absolute core points of Lucky, Chen Man and Liu Kairui.
After Ouyang Fei gets training in Europe, he will also become a key rhythm point in the Chinese team's midfield.
The little guy who was still playing as a substitute for the national team at that time now seems to be the backbone behind the qualifications.
Among the veterans of the previous class, very few were selected for the national team this time.
Apart from Luc Kai, Chen Man and Liu Kairui, there are only Wang Yi, Gao Leiliang, Jia Zhenhua, Ouyang Fei and goalkeeper Tong Lei.
The rest are all newcomers who have emerged in the past four years.
After experiencing the baptism of the World Cup Asian Qualifying Tournament, Chinese fans are also full of expectations for this team.
After all, this is a rare gathering of all the main players of the Chinese team in the past four years!
As the media and fans watched eagerly, the crowd suddenly became excited.
At the exit, Lucky and Chen Man appeared.
Lucky wears white short-sleeved shirts and black shorts, showing off his casual look. Dragging a suitcase looks extremely neat.
On the other hand, Chen Man was wearing a set of expensive sportswear, with a gold medal around his neck, a flat baseball cap staring at his head, sunglasses, and tattoos on his exposed calves and arms.
The two people's appearance caused the whole place to boil.
Lucky!

Fans were calling their names, and reporters were focusing their cameras on them.
Amid cheers, Le Kai and Chen Man walked up to Zhang Chen and Fan Hongwu.
"Brother Zhang, Coach Fan!" X2.
With a smile on his face, Zhang Chen walked over and said kindly, "Thank you for your hard work on the journey."
When Fan Hongwu saw his beloved disciple, he gave him a big hug.
Immediately, Le Kai and Chen Man were taken away.
They did not accept any interviews, not even official interviews.
"Lippi gave a death order. Players cannot be interviewed, and you are no exception!"
Zhang Chen shook his head and sighed.
Chen Man: "So awesome? Even the official side doesn't give you any favors?"
"There is no way! After all, he is famous!" Fan Hongwu said with a smile.
Lucky nodded instead, thinking nothing of it.
When playing in Europe, those coaches were like that.
After the two got in the car, they drove directly to the training base.
The training base, which is very close to the outskirts of BJ, is still the same training base four years ago.
However, when the two arrived, they found that compared to four years ago, the equipment here had been renovated and many things had changed.
Due to the Champions League, the two are the last two players reported.
At this time, in the training ground, the national football players have already started training.
After the four people got out of the car, they did not report directly, but started rubbing each other outside the training ground.
Most of them are strangers. Lucky has seen some of them, but there are also some that he has never seen before.
At this time, training is taking place under the leadership of the coaching staff.
They also saw Ouyang Fei standing on the sidelines, shouting loudly.
"Be more decisive when attacking! Opportunities wait for no one. If you miss the opportunity, it will be too late to chase after you!"
"Collaborate! Collaborate! Don't fight alone!"
Ouyang Fei scolded the young players with his hands on his waist.
Seeing this scene, Chen Man couldn't help but smile: "Four years have passed, and that obedient Feifei can now train people!"
Lucky didn't speak, but continued to watch.
At this time, Ouyang Fei seemed to feel something and turned his head to look over.
He saw Chen Man and Le Kai at a glance.
"Chen Man? Brother Kai?!"
Ouyang Fei ran over excitedly.
"When did you arrive?"
"Just arrived!" Le Kai said concisely.
Chen Man was dissatisfied and said, "Why am I Chen Man and he is Brother Kai?"
Ouyang Fei ignored Chen Man and looked at Le Kai and said, "Brother Kai, I watched the Champions League final. He played very well, but it's just a pity!"
“Hey hey hey!
Chen Man shouted; "I'm right here, don't you think you should say something?" "
Ouyang Fei smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you also played well."
Chen Man curled his lips and said, "You don't mean what you say."
Lucai glanced up and down at Ouyang Fei. He was much stronger than four years ago, and it could be seen from his muscle lines that he usually did not lack exercise.
Lucky nodded immediately and said, "You've practiced well!"
Hearing this, Ouyang Fei suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Not yet. There is still a long way to go before I can be like Brother Kai."
"You don't have to be like me, we are different types!" Lucky said.
While the three of them were chatting, the newbies from the national team also looked over.
Some people who had never seen Chen Man and Lucai said with curiosity on their faces:
"It's Lucky and Chen Man, they're back!"
"Our super thighs are back!"
"So strong! It doesn't look that strong on TV!"
"Chen Man is so strong, but he looks very thin on TV!"
These young players were busy discussing and looking at the two of them curiously.
At this time, Lucky and Chen Man also ended their conversation and walked into the building.
