In the morning sun of June 14, the Chinese men's soccer team started its fourth outdoor training session at the beautiful Barracuda Bay stadium in Dalian, which was the first time that the media was able to get a glimpse of the mysterious training session. As the training curtains were being drawn back, naturalized player Ickxon became the focus of attention, as he candidly faced the camera and shared his journey.
"Returning to the national team fills me with enthusiasm." There is a determined gleam in Aixon's eyes, "I can find that position that I know and love at club and with the national team, and I am eager to contribute more goals to the national team."
Curious, the reporter asked, "How are you feeling about the torch relay event?"
Exxon laughed and replied, "Overwhelmed and so grateful (to the organizers) for giving me this honor, and it's a shining moment in my life to be alongside these top athletes."
Referring to the shortness of his last training session with the national soccer team, Iverson couldn't hide his excitement: "I came back this time full of fighting spirit and fully integrated into the training. With a friendly coming up, I'm looking forward to showing myself on the pitch and making a breakthrough in goals. Playing alongside my teammates, I hope this training goes well and brings more victories."
Regarding tactical communication with the head coach, Exxon revealed, "We communicate a lot, especially in the hotel and on the training ground. The position I'm in now is something I'm very comfortable with and love. It allows me to play like a fish out of water. I hope to work better with my teammates and win more exciting matches to give back to the fans."
The reporter pressed, "Will your new position help you score more goals and can you expect a big win?"
Eckerson replied confidently, "My new position, closer to the Canton era, is basically the No. 9 position. This will allow us to play with more flexibility, freedom and strong support from our teammates. I believe that after communicating with the coach, I will be more comfortable in the familiar No.9 position and the number of goals is expected to increase. Of course, there is always uncertainty in the game, but I still look forward to scoring goals and earning a big win. I also hope all the fans will come to this beautiful stadium and cheer us on."
