Grassroots Glory

In mid-November, FIFA had a two-week national team match day. After finishing the league with Mönchengladbach, Zhou Tiancheng began to prepare for the departure to join the national team. The Chinese team has two official matches during this period. The Asian Cup qualifier Group D, the Chinese team will face back to back against Lebanon, go to the away first on November 14, and return to the home on November 22. The Chinese team won the first six points in the first two games, as long as they can double-kill Lebanon, they are basically sure to advance to the Asian Cup in advance.

　　 However, this time Zhou Tiancheng was no longer alone to report to the national team, Jiang Hao was also called up. Jiang Hao was definitely excited for the first selection. After all, if he said ten thousand and ten thousand, the national team will have the opportunity to appear on the international stage. No Chinese player wants to participate in the international competition. At this stage, the Chinese team can get in touch. The top-level competition in Asia is the Asian Cup, because the previous Asian Cup team of the four Southeast Asian countries was out early and failed to get the top three straight places, so even if Gao Hongbo’s new national football team has made significant progress, he still has to be for the Asian Cup. Fight hard.

But besides being excited, Jiang Hao also had some worries. He received a call from the national team coaching staff, and he immediately told Zhou Tiancheng about it, but instead of congratulations, he said: "Brother Cheng, on the national team, You have to cover me. After all, I am a newcomer. I don’t understand the rules."

　　Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "What do you think of Hiroko, you are going to play a game, and you are not a mixed society, whoever covers you, no one will provoke you if you don't cause trouble."

　　 "Brother Cheng, don't you tease me? Isn't the media often reporting that the water is deep?"

"It doesn't exist in this national team. The first training session of the high-instructor said it. It is absolutely not allowed. Besides, do you think that if there is a small group in the mountain, I can play a normal level in the national team?" Zhou Tiancheng gave him a pill.

In addition, Chen Pengfei, who played the main role in Freiburg, was also selected for the national team. The three departed from Gelsenkirchen and Freiburg respectively. There are no airports in these two places. They need to meet at Dortmund Airport, and then from Dortmund to Berlin, transferred to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, the coaching staff and most of the players have arrived in Lebanon a few days ago to adapt to the climate, but the team has not yet entered the real tactical training stage. Gao Hongbo is still waiting for the arrival of Zhou Tiancheng, lacking the midfield core, and unable to practice tactics.

According to the strength of both sides, the national team did not need to take Lebanon seriously, but after the announcement of the national team training list, the attention of the Chinese media suddenly increased, and there were two overseas players who had previously been very loud. The front-line sports media with high visibility have sent forward reporting groups. In addition to Zhou Tiancheng, the focus is on the performance of the two. After all, they and Zhou Tiancheng are very young. Although the World Cup in South Africa is long gone, the Brazil World Cup cycle depends on them.

　　 Originally, most media and fans did not have much hope for the World Cup in Brazil. South Africa World Cup qualifiers can already see the speed of progress of Asian teams. Qatar, who was easily suspended by the Chinese team at 3:0 in the top ten in 2001, can in turn win at the Chinese team... But the appearance of Zhou Tiancheng gave everyone a little hope, and Jiang Hao and Chen Pengfei, Including the emergence of Ming Tao, this hope has been amplified by two points.

The previous series of warm-up matches, including the two consecutive victories in the first two rounds of the qualifiers, filled the domestic media with an optimistic tone. The new head coach and overseas players picked the beaming national team and played a competitive performance. So far, no matter whether it is a match or a friendly match, the Chinese team has not lost a game. This competitive performance seems to be goodbye to the past, and it can really turn a new page from then on.

However, fans who have been injured too many times are not optimistic. Too many times, the Chinese team always gives everyone a little hope when everyone thinks that it has fallen to the lowest point. The Chinese team has not yet met one in the competition so far. A decent team, as for the warm-up match against Iran and Germany, is not convincing. The Chinese team has the reputation of being the "king of warm-up matches."

　　Jiang Hao and Chen Pengfei joined the team faster than everyone thought. After meeting with the national team, Jiang Hao shocked both his teammates and the coaching staff in the first training session.

Several overseas players joined the team on the first day. The coaching staff did not let them join the team to practice together, but first let them test the data with the physical trainer. Gao Hongport greeted him, especially paying attention to Jiang Hao and Chen Pengfei’s test report shows that he has his own use plan for people who can play in the five major leagues, but he has to decide the degree of reuse based on their basic data.

　　The physical fitness trainer of the national team has long known that Zhou Tiancheng's physical fitness is good enough to say nothing, which does not surprise him, but he was greatly surprised when he tested Jiang Hao.

　　The local players who were on the training ground during the training interval watched an instant acceleration on the track and field, and accelerated faster and faster. In the end, they couldn't keep up with their eyes and were shocked.

　　 "Hey, look, my mother, it's too fast."

　　 "Super Saiyan, I seriously doubt that he is equipped with a Ferrari engine."

"I'm going. It looks like Brother Zhou. He's also a very powerful player. I thought it was very good to play in the Chinese Super League, but... are they all so fierce? MMP, I want to go too Europe!"

　　 "Hehe, it's you? Didn't listen to the guidance of Gao, he and Brother Zhou and another one named Chen Pengfei, who came out of the European youth training, we have lost on the starting line."

　　 "Hey, isn't there another one? Look, Cheng is almighty, this speed is perverted, that Chen Pengfei can't see any specialty, it seems that he is still playing on the side, is it also fast?"

　　 "Maybe people are better than Ronaldo, haha!"

　　 "Hey, people are more dead than people."

　　……

　　 "High finger, look at their physical test report."

　　The voice of the physical fitness coach was a little excited. Gao Hongbo took the list and saw Jiang Hao's data at the first glance, because a red horizontal line was added under his name.

　　 "Isn't that possible? Such a terrible speed?"

Gao Hongbo, who is also a striker in the player era, knows clearly what Jiang Hao’s current starting speed is at 20 kilometers per hour, but he does not know that this is not the peak state of Jiang Hao. In Schalke 04, Jiang Hao measured the overspeed The ability to start at 30.5 kilometers in an instant is just rushing over from Germany and flying a few thousand kilometers. In addition to being selected for the national team for the first time, the excitement of the first day affected the state. But even so, Jiang Hao's ability is still ranked first in the team without suspense.

The Chinese team didn’t start to focus on tactical joint training until two days before the game. With the first impression of the previous few days, the teammates with Jiang Hao knew how to cooperate with him. A Ferrari speed killer.

　　 Jiang Hao can really catch up with the speed, but in this way training becomes a personal show. Gao Hongbo was very dissatisfied with this. The players did not understand the purpose of tactical training at all. This was to allow the whole team to participate and let everyone understand the tactics further. The game can rely on key figures to solve problems like this, but playing in daily training is purely a mess.

He gathered the benches in white vests together and said angrily: "You forgot my request? What did you say? Passing! Running! Cooperating! It's easy to open big feet like you guys. Keep playing like this?"

　　 Next, everyone was a lot more honest, one by one through the midfield transmission, Chen Pengfei also got more opportunities to catch the ball, on the wing to play his ability to combine the excellent ball.

However, comparing the rhythms of the main and substitutes, Gao Hongbo found that the gap between the two sides was quite large, not only the reason for the player's technical gap, but that the powerful midfielders were in the main player group. The substitute players lacked a metronome, while the local players The court is accustomed to the slow-paced passing method, and it is always out of sync with Jiang Hao and Chen Pengfei.

　　Gao Hongbo immediately adjusted this problem after he discovered it. The next day, he changed the two to the main team. This group included Zhou Tiancheng and Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi, although Xia Chuang switched from Charlton to the veteran Celtics overlord of the Scottish Super League, faded out of the mainstream European game, but after all, he is still a foreign player and is the captain of the national team for many years. His experience and strength are unquestionable.

Zhou Tiancheng is naturally familiar with Jiang Hao, and has little cooperation with Chen Pengfei. He was extremely impressed with the scene of this season's lore. He communicated with Zheng Zhi and passed the ball to Chen Pengfei, to his feet and to Jiang Hao. , As much as possible in advance.

　　 These days Beirut has been drizzling with light rain. The training ground is covered with uneven and muddy pavement, but it is hard for the reporters waiting outside. Out of the importance of the game, the coaching staff only opened the 15-minute warm-up before the game, but the reporters were eager to get the training situation of the national team, so they squatted to the top of the hill outside the training field early. The angle is high and simple. The blocked screen couldn't cover it, so we watched the Chinese team training in the rain.

　　Of course, local journalists in Lebanon also discovered this shortcut to stealing information, but Chinese journalists are more diligent. Every day, half an hour before the Chinese team starts training, some people climbed to the top of the mountain in advance to occupy a favorable position.

　　 Two consecutive days of observation, the team's changes can not hide these reporters. While observing, peers discussed with each other.

　　 "Jiang Hao and Chen Pengfei are so powerful. It only took a day to put on a yellow vest. Is this the rhythm of going to the main position quickly?"

　　 "Not necessarily, maybe it's a smoke bomb."

"Gao Hongbo really values ​​foreign players, but I'm a little worried about the sweetness of foreign players. Will they rely on them in the future? I don't care about the games, let them come back, just like Yang Chen." This is Wu Yuxin, a senior reporter in the Asian section of the football newspaper.

　　 "Old Wu, you talked about ideas, but I think there are more serious things. Didn't you see that Zhou Tiancheng and Zheng Zhi both passed Jiang Hao and Chen Pengfei during the past few days?"

　　Zhang Yuan, a colleague of the sports weekly newspaper next to the party, took the call. After all, Zhang Yuan’s weekly sports report is a well-deserved domination. The first contact with the Zhou Tiancheng football newspaper was just a corner of the field. It was strong enough in professionalism, but it was far less influential than the sports weekly. To date, the sports weekly has maintained a record of 2.62 million copies in a single issue. On October 7, 2001, the national team advanced to Korea-Japan World Cup on the day of creation. To a certain extent, it is no exaggeration to say that the status of the sports weekly is established by football, so no one will question the professionalism of their football reporters.

　　 "Lao Zhang, they are all playing in Europe, and their consciousness is close. It's normal to have a good heart. You won't worry about these few overseas players ganging up? In this national team, shouldn't they meet?"

Zhang Yuan disagrees with this statement: "Perhaps they are indeed unintentional, but if you look at it, no one else can catch the ball. What do you think of the local players? On the court, if the foreign players and the local players are fighting each other, What do you think will be the situation? The national team did not suffer from this kind of loss before. A club cooperates with each other. If it is not a club, it will not pass. I don’t know how Gao Hongbo will allow this to continue."

　　 "Don't be too pessimistic about Lao Zhang, we are not coaches either, and we are not allowed to arrange this. The combination of these people makes the offense very interesting. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

　　When the training was over, these reporters were divided into three groups immediately to block Jiang Hao, Chen Pengfei and head coach Gao Hongbo. The biggest news point for the national team training in this issue relied on these three people.

The two also said they were trying their best to integrate into the national team and were satisfied with everything in the current national team, but when it comes to the game, both of them declined at the same time, the reason is surprisingly consistent: "Before the game was played, We are inconvenient to comment."

　　Reporters who have reported on the national team for many years understood that the coaching staff issued a password. I don't want any accidents that affect the results.

　　 Since then, all the reporters have flocked to Gao Hongbo. In addition to collecting some information related to the game as much as possible, more importantly, everyone wants to know what he thinks about Jiang Hao and Chen Pengfei through these days of training.

But Gao Hongbo said that this is still a secret and played Tai Chi with reporters: "I don't need to ask this question? Being able to enter the national team itself proves that they are absolutely capable players. In the future, they must be an important role... As for the next The game involves team tactics, and it cannot be said for the time being, everyone will be able to see it on the field."

　　Although for most domestic fans, how the national team will use these two fresh blood is still a mystery, but the reporters reported in the front are well aware.

　　Zhou Tiancheng, Jiang Hao, Chen Pengfei, Zheng Zhi. The four will mainly assume the offensive task of the Chinese team.

　　Stay abroad, will support the national team again!
