Xiao Qing's invitation letter from the Pig Association surprised Xiao Qing, because he knew that he was a disobedient representative in the eyes of those officials, the kind of representative who was difficult to discipline and might even bring them losses, because he went abroad for trial without permission, and he broke the unspoken rule that domestic football players need the consent of the Pig Association for training abroad.

Xiao Qing knew that he should be very unpopular with the officials of the Pig Association, because he was not obedient enough, because he challenged the authority of those officials; But now it seems that Xiao Qing underestimated the forbearance of those officials, maybe they all know that Xiao Qing will not be obedient, but in order to have enough outstanding political achievements, they now need to 'endure humiliation' to summon Xiao Qing, and they need Xiao Qing to help the national team achieve enough outstanding results in the Olympic Games held at their doorstep.

But to be honest, Xiao Qing really didn't want to go back to China to play, especially in that inconsequential warm-up game; Playing for the country is the dream of most players, but when this kind of thing happens in China, Xiao Qing is a little resistant, not because he is unwilling to represent the Chinese team, but because he is unwilling to play for those sanctimonious officials of the Pig Association.

The gold content of the warm-up game itself is not high, because many people may think that such a warm-up game will make the players develop more tacit understanding on the field, and even the strongest team needs enough training to be able to improve. But for Xiao Qing, he will definitely not leave Hoffenheim at this time, because now is not the time; Maybe he also wants to play for the country in the competition at home, even if those officials of the pig association are very unpopular with him, but at such a moment, Xiao Qing must still be a little moved. But definitely not now, because he knows that the current Hoffenheim cannot do without him, because he knows that the current Hoffenheim has reached the most critical period.

Hoffenheim away to Osnabrück on 1 March, Paderborn at home on 8 March, Aue in the 24th round of the Bundesliga on 16 March, and Mainz on 21 March for a crucial race to the relegation. What's more, in between March 19 is the semi-final of the German Cup against Jena!

Now is definitely the most critical moment of Hoffenheim's season, they are now finally at the top of the Bundesliga set standings, and now they actually don't have much of a lead, so in order to keep this hard-won opportunity, for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for promotion, Xiao Qing is definitely unwilling to leave the team. It's not that Xiao Qing is boasting, he is definitely Hoffenheim's most haode striker now, he is the team's sharp knife in attacking the city, so he can't leave the team at this time, because once there is any accident in between.

Originally, Xiao Qing didn't have much interest in playing warm-up games, and Hoffenheim is now in a critical period, so how to choose is an obvious thing. Maybe it's a little selfish, but Xiao Qing will definitely not leave the team at this time, although it is very likely that he will be scolded, but in order to take over the promotion of the team, in order to be able to complete his own strength improvement as soon as possible, Xiao Qing will not have any hesitation at all.

"Boss, help me turn down this invitation. It's a crucial period for the team to go through the relegation level, so I can't leave the team. Xiao Qing didn't have the invitation fax at all, and shrugged his shoulders with some regret, because Xiao Qing knew that he might not have a good reputation in China after turning down this invitation.

For many domestic fans, playing for the club is their own private matter, playing for the national team is a matter of course, and there is no way to back down; But now Xiao Qing has turned down this invitation, that is, selfishness, no sense of collective honor, and the embodiment of not focusing on the overall situation!

"Xiao, you have to think clearly. Although I and the club definitely don't want you to leave at this time, you need to be aware of the implications that this may have. I don't know about the quality of your national team, but you seem to be one of the most haode players among them and you should understand how negatively this can affect you. Hearing Xiao Qing's refusal, Rangnick was overjoyed, but he was still a little worried and said, "Maybe we can discuss with your national team, you need to participate in the current league, but the national team also has to go, but we can adjust the time, you don't need to participate in those trainings, you go directly to the game, maybe you only need to miss one round of games." ”

"Boss, Xiexie. I'm very fit, but I know we need to keep some fitness right now; There's no way I'm going to spend time on planes in a row, so I don't get any time to rest and maybe just miss one round, but it's hard to guarantee that I'm going to be at my best in those games. It's the most crucial moment for the promotion of the team, I have to concentrate all my energy on the club games, promotion is the key now, I don't care about anything else. And for the rest of my life, I don't have the same passion for playing for the national team as any other player. Xiao Qing shrugged his shoulders with regret, he naturally knew that now he began to have more fame in China, and now fans have begun to pay more attention to him; But Xiao Qing is not a fool, he knows that once this incident is over, I believe that except for a very small number of fans, other fans will scold him, and he can say that it will even be a mess, and even far more than the old boss suddenly beat him up, because it may be just a small thing, but now it is definitely a big thing that can be put on the line.

Look at Wang Zhizhi at the beginning, in the NBA, because he didn't mix very well and couldn't get stable time, he wanted to seize the spare time in the summer to exercise more; At that time, it happened to meet the national team competition, and the national team asked Wang Zhizhi to return to China to play. It's just that at that time, since the national team already has Yao Ming and others, it is not difficult to dominate Asia, so there is no need to come back, and he hopes to stay in the NBA to improve more. But then he was branded a traitor, and he was also expelled from the national team!

Although there is still a big difference between football and basketball, one thing is for sure, when encountering such a big right and wrong, then the attitude of the fans can basically be said to be the same. Think about Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming has risen at that time, and the Chinese men's basketball team is also the absolute hegemon in Asia, but those officials and gentlemen don't allow the players to have any resistance at all, they don't care about the players' careers at all, they just need to be able to achieve enough outstanding results.

Therefore, Wang Zhizhi has not been able to return to China for almost five years, he is a sinner referred to by Qianfu, and he is a typical example of no organization and no discipline; If it weren't for the fact that the Basketball Association didn't have that ability, they might even directly expel Wang Zhizhi's nationality!

Wang Zhizhi was lucky, because the leadership of the Basketball Association changed later, so he had the opportunity to return to China to play for the country; It's just that at that time, Wang Zhizhi, who had just returned to China, was not in a good situation, and some ill-intentioned people began to attack Wang Zhizhi again: "traitor!" And Wang Zhizhi, who had just returned to China at that time, had to repeatedly daoqian, repeatedly for his 'immaturity' and 'not focusing on the overall situation'.

As a player, Xiao Qing has some rabbits and dead foxes and sad things, because the current Xiao Qing is also very likely to encounter such a situation, although the national football team has a very bad reputation in China, but there are still many die-hard fans. It's just that as players, it's right to play for the country, but they're also human beings, especially since they're all young, so they have to be responsible for their careers, and they have to take every opportunity to improve. And for those officials, as long as they can put themselves in the shoes of the players, as long as they can understand the suffering of the athletes a little, then many tragedies can be avoided to a large extent. Just like this warm-up game, once the leaders of the pig association can pay a little attention to the situation of Xiao Qing and Hoffenheim, then Xiao Qing may not have to be there in this warm-up game.

So whether he is selfish or not, Xiao Qing will definitely not return to China to compete this time, because he doesn't want the team to finally see that the infinite hope will be dashed because of this accident, and he doesn't want to work hard for most of the season but because of such a thing. He didn't want to take too many detours, so it could be said that he was selfish and hoped that he could get a chance to improve, and Xiao Qing was not willing to go back to China to participate in a warm-up game, because this inconsequential warm-up game was likely to make Xiao Qing and Hoffenheim pay an unbearable price.

"Shaw, I'm really glad you can stay and play for the team, we really need your help. I wouldn't advise you to go back to your home game because we need to upgrade; But as a team, I think we can also take a certain amount of pressure off you, although we can't openly withhold players from playing for the national team, because then we will be punished, but we can make a statement to try to undo some things. Rangnick breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Xiao Qing would return to China desperately, so the team in the next game was really likely to encounter big difficulties, and now Xiao Qing's choice made him happy enough, because Xiao Qing still focused more on the club.

"By the way, Shaw, you really need an agent now, you're on the right track now, you have to have professional people to take care of some off-field things for you now, you need to focus all your energy on the game and training. Believe me, Shaw, every great player will have his own agent, because only then will you be able to play more haode, and with a professional agent, then your income may also be increased even more. Rangnick thought about it and said, but this time the proposal was a bit of a stone in his foot, and when Xiao Qing really had an agent, Hoffenheim's management was very unhappy.
