From the Country Team To the Rich

Chapter 42 European Players

"How would you rate that game?"

Facing Boni's question, Zhang Xian said;

"First of all, Wien Hamburg is an excellent and powerful team. Hoffenheim can win the game, there are many surprises. In fact, in terms of hard power, Hoffenheim is not as good as Wien Hamburg, but in that game, Everyone can see that our state is better, which is the key to winning the game. In the final evaluation, the players on both sides played very well, but Hoffenheim played better."

"How do you evaluate the impact of this game on German football?"

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, and said, "This question is too high-swinging. Although we are eager for the German Cup, in fact, the German Cup is not a first-class event in Europe or even the world!"

"As for the impact, there should still be some."

"As far as I am concerned, football is full of uncertainties, and that is what makes it wonderful. Strong teams are always strong, and weak teams are always weak. This is too boring. German football has not been this lively for a long time. Hoffenheim doesn't mind pouring oil on it, it's setting a fire!"

Boni grinned secretly, the Chinese in front of him was very difficult to deal with, and he couldn't escape useful information at all.

Bonny thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about the Youth League?"

Zhang Xian shrugged and said, "Yes."

"As we all know, Germany's youth training has entered the stage of rectification in the past two years. In addition to Baden-Württemberg, other states have also become one of the pilot youth training programs. After one of the youth training programs is successful, it will be promoted nationwide."

"Youth League is your idea and you manage it yourself. Do you feel that Youth League can beat other youth training pilots, or if it succeeds, how would you feel?"

Zhang Xian said lightly; "I am not in charge of the ruling of the youth training pilot project, all of this is coordinated and arranged by the Football Association, and I am also working for them!"

"As for how it feels? Well... I'd be very happy!"

As soon as Boni ran out of the ball, Zhang Xian kicked the football association.

Bonny felt very uncomfortable, he couldn't squeeze any useful information from Zhang Xian's mouth.

"Okay, one last question!"

Boni asked: "Next in the German Cup,

What is Hoffenheim's goal? What do you think about the outside world's general dislike of Hoffenheim in the quarter-finals? "

Zhang Xian talked eloquently:

"First of all, Hoffenheim has no plan from the very beginning, we just want to climb higher, which itself is a big gamble!"

"Secondly, Hoffenheim understands the comments made by the outside world, but they don't agree with them!"

"Hoffenheim is a German fourth-tier league team. It is right that no one is optimistic about us, but we cannot underestimate ourselves."

"Yes, we come from the fourth tier league, our strength is the weakest, in the quarter-finals of the German Cup monopolized by the Bundesliga teams, we seem out of place!"

"But I want to emphasize that no one likes to lose, and Hoffenheim is the same. The weak are not necessarily the losers!"

"In the future, we will still make great strides forward. We don't know where the end point is, but here I invite you to watch everything that follows. I believe that the Hoffenheim game will not let you down!"

The next day, interviews about Zhang Xian landed in major German media.

His phrase 'the weak are not necessarily the losers! ’ also aroused widespread heated discussion.

Many people have good feelings about Hoffenheim.

Among them are the reasons why Hoffenheim is weak against the strong, and because of its status as a country team, fans always want to support the weak team and take a look at the psychological factors of the upset.

With this opportunity, Hoffenheim has gained a lot of popularity across the country, and it has also been reported that Hoffenheim has a Chinese sports director.

In an apartment in Germany, a young man with an oriental face looked at the faces in the newspaper, was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out his phone...

 …

England, London, Fox Sports' foreign office.

Chen Chu was sorting out the files, and the photos contained the information of three Chinese players.

The three are Gao Feng, Fan Chenggong and Liu Miao.

These are three Chinese overseas players who are active in the English league. In order to improve the level of athletes, with the support of various systems, domestic overseas players ushered in a short period of explosion.

A total of about 10 Chinese players are active in major European leagues.

But the most eye-catching is undoubtedly Fan Chenggong, a player who plays in the Premier League.

Chen Chu's work almost revolves around these three players, reporting their situation in the UK, and feeding back some information to the country as soon as possible.

Jingle Bell....

The phone rang.

"Hey, Xiao Fan, what's the matter? Have dinner?...Okay, you choose a place, and I'll go there right away!"

After answering the call, Chen Chu put on his coat and walked out of the office, driving to the appointment.

At the entrance of a Chinese restaurant in the southern suburbs of London, he saw a burly young man.

The young man is about 1.9 meters tall, with big shoulders and a wide body. His tendons and flesh can be seen to have tremendous explosive power.

This person is Fan Chenggong.

"I remember that you are preparing for the FA Cup, why do you have time to eat?"

Chen Chu said with a smile that he really had high hopes for the best player in China.

Fan Chenggong has good physical fitness and can perform well even in the Premier League, and his skills are excellent, not losing to European players at all.

Fan Chenggong is 28 years old this year. It can be said that he is at his peak. His statistics in the league are also very good. He has just won the best player of the club "Crystal Castle" he plays for.

"Being idle and bored is like looking for something to eat with Brother Chen." Fan Chenggong said scratching his head with a smile.

Chen Chu glanced at Fan Chenggong, smiled and said, "You still can't hide things, come on, let's go in and talk!"

The two entered the private room of the restaurant and ordered some food.

Chen Chu asked; "Tell me, what is it?"

Fan Chenggong hesitated for a moment and said, "The club is going to give up on the FA Cup!"

Chen Chu froze for a moment, and said, "Why?"

Crystal Castle is not considered a strong team in the Premier League, nor does it have a glorious history. They have been in good form in recent years. Although there is still a long way to go to the league championship, the FA Cup can still be given a try. .

Moreover, Crystal Castle has reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. He can definitely try to go further. Why give up?

What kind of strange operation is this?

In this regard, Fan Chenggong said with a lonely face: "The club has financial problems, and it seems that conflicts broke out between the management and the old coach. They are going to fire the old coach. The new coach is from the British Championship. The new coach said that this season Crystal Fortress can hit the European Union area!"

"What?" Chen Chu was amused.

Crystal Castle is now in the middle of the league, with a gap of nearly 30 points from the Europa League. This is simply a joke.

Chen Chu understood that Fan Chenggong had succeeded.

He came to the Premier League just because he wanted honor. This is his third year playing for Crystal Castles. In the first two years, Fan Chenggong played very well, and this year he has played almost explosively.

Successfully carried the team to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

Under the pressure of the fierce Premier League and the Champions League and Europa League, many teams will give up the FA Cup.

This is Crystal Castle's best chance to hit the FA Cup, but the club's management and coaching staff are going to hit the Europa League. Isn't this head kicked by a donkey?

Don't fight for the honor in front of you, what kind of Europa League places are you fighting for?

Besides, this Europa League spot, is it something you can compete for in Crystal Castle?

Stanford, Red Factory, Trafford, Tottenham United, Liverpool and other teams are vegetarians. With these teams around, why would Crystal Castle join in the fun.

Chen Chu thought for a moment, then said, "So, what are your plans?"

Fan Chenggong pursed his lips and said, "I have played for Crystal Castle for three years, and they have delayed me for three years. If they still don't choose to fight for honor this time, I will ask for a transfer!"

Fan Chenggong can see it.

Crystal Castle has no intention of chasing honor at all.

They just want to make money.

For this team without any ambition, he was completely disappointed.
