World Cup of Great Powers

Ou Chuliang was fired from the national team?

When he first heard the news, Zeng Zheng was a little stunned.

"Xiao Tao, are you trying to frame me?"

"It's absolutely true, Chief Zeng!" Han Tao, who has become Zeng Zheng's assistant, nodded, "This matter has been reported in Qingyuan!"

"Has everything been reported?"

Zeng Zheng was even more surprised after hearing this.

"Then why didn't Brother Ou contact me?"

"Maybe he doesn't want to burden Mr. Zeng," Han Tao guessed.

"There must be some reason for this!"

Although others don't know, Ou Chuliang and Zeng Zheng still understand.

In the football circle, Ou Chuliang has always been a law-abiding image.

This time he was expelled from the national team for violating discipline, which was indeed a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

What's more, it's still at a stall like this.

Speaking of Ou Chuliang, this season was not going well for Shenhua.

As he grows older, his height disadvantage gradually becomes more and more obvious.

But even so, Shenhua was still unwilling to let Ou Chuliang leave the team.

For this reason, Shenhua raised Ou Chuliang's transfer value to 5 million, which was to restrict his transfer.

As for Ou Chuliang himself, he is also aloof and arrogant.

With such a high "worth", even if there is a possibility that no one will care about him, he still has to say "I only play in the A".

In this way, Ou Chuliang directly narrowed his own path.

He stayed in Shenhua and did not play football, but he did not find a new home. For a while, Ou Chuliang's whereabouts next season became a hot topic among fans.

At this moment, Zeng Zheng took action.

With Miss Qian's financial intervention, Zeng Zheng was extremely generous.

First of all, Chen Dong is on loan, Liu Yunfei is too young, and Langer's former goalkeeper is too weak.

In addition, he knew that Bamboo Shoes was about to introduce a clause that would not allow foreign players to be used as goalkeepers in League A. Zeng Zheng had long wanted to find a domestic goalkeeper of the right age for the team before he left the team.

Secondly, take the relationship between Zeng Zheng and Ou Chuliang.

Even if he knew he was being cheated by Shenhua, he couldn't just watch Ou Chuliang go without a ball for a year.

What's more, Zeng Zheng had already planned to "take Ou Chuliang under his command".

After Ou Chuliang retires, Zeng Zheng still wants to continue to cooperate with him!

Of course, the most important thing is that in Zeng Zheng’s construction of the national team for the Millennium Asian Cup, Ou Chuliang is the number one goalkeeper!

Seeing that the second round of negotiations with Bamboo Shoes is about to begin, the most important issue being discussed is the head coach's power.

At this juncture, Ou Chuliang was expelled from the national team, and it was difficult not to make Zeng Zheng suspect that someone was targeting him.

"This is to give me power!"

Zeng Zheng kept slapping his mouth, "Are you talking about killing the chicken to scare the monkey?"

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.

The sudden change made Zeng Zheng realize that football is never monolithic.

Even though the domestic league was booming under the leadership of King Xu, the national brand also won several championships under his own leadership.

But among those invisible shadows, there are always people holding back their energy and not wanting to make things easier for those on the surface.

This second negotiation also ended unhappy.

Zeng Zheng didn't even go to Xu Fang.

The day after the negotiations, Zeng Zheng left the capital and headed south to Haigeng.

Many things couldn't be explained clearly on the phone, so he wanted to ask Ou Chuliang in person to find out.

...

Came to Haigeng again.

Before he even entered the door, Zeng Zheng smelled a smell that was different from last year.

Several workers are using barbed wire to encrypt the gate in front of the large iron gate that has been corroded by wind and rain for a year at the Haigeng base.

The newly installed large iron lock still smells of fresh engine oil.

Haigeng has always been nicknamed "prison" by players, and those who come to Haigeng for spring training are also called "squatting in the dormitory".

Zeng Zheng heard from the security guard that fans were allowed in and out a few days ago.

But after the training started in the two days, outsiders were not allowed to enter casually.

Zeng Zheng took his ID and followed Gao Hongbo to the lobby of the base villa area.

Before coming to Haigeng, Gao Hongbo had already signed a contract with the Jianglong team and completely took over as coach.

Although local fans in Harbin are somewhat dissatisfied with this.

But when I think about it, Zeng Zheng is very likely to report to the national team.

Under this fearless dedication spirit of sacrificing the small self for the greater self, Harbin fans still support this decision.

"Welcome, Coach Zeng."

"This is your room card, please keep it."

"If you need anything, please feel free to call our front desk."

The receptionist at the villa area was wearing a beautiful office dress. She faced Zeng Zheng with a professional smile on her face.

After taking the room card, Zeng Zheng pointed to the drinks on the shelf behind the front desk lady and stretched out three fingers:

"Miss, you don't look like a local. Didn't you go home during the Chinese New Year?"

The lady at the front desk blinked and handed the drinks on the shelf to Zeng Zheng's hand.

“The helpers can use the extra money during New Year’s Day!”

"Oh? So good? And there are subsidies?"

Zeng Zheng first unscrewed a bottle of drink, handed it to the front desk lady, and then gave one of the remaining two bottles to Gao Hongbo.

After taking a sip of the drink handed over by Zeng Zheng, the lady at the front desk smiled happily.

"The leaders have said that we need to create a good training environment for the athletes! Like the drivers who crush the field, the ladies who sweep the roads, the aunts who buy groceries... there are dozens of people working overtime to help these days!"

"Oh? Then why did I cry when I heard that there was an old man who came to work from other places? Is it because he wasn't paid overtime?"

"Coach Zeng, are you talking about Uncle Wang? Haha!" the front desk lady explained, "Everything about Uncle Wang happens for a reason."

"He is a sign maker. I heard that the base leaders found him and offered to order a sign for three yuan."

"But that day he spelled the word 'spirit' wrong for 'striving to create a first-class spiritual outlook', and as a result all the labor fees for that day were deducted."

"Coach Zeng, tell me which two words are wrong to nail. If you have to nail these two words backwards, can you blame the leader for this?"

Zeng Zheng slapped and slapped his mouth.

This is true, even I would be angry about this.

After drinking a bottle of soda from Zeng Zheng, the little girl started talking more.

"Coach Zeng, there are more ridges than before."

“A lot of new entertainment facilities have been added here.”

"I don't want to go back to the dormitory after get off work. I want to throw two of them in the bowling alley!"

"Even if I can't throw it, I can just stand by and watch you fight!"

"Even the mayor has spoken."

"You shouldn't think of concentration camps whenever you mention Haigeng..."

Arriving at the room in Huanbi Villa, Zeng Zheng put down his luggage and just sat on the bed when he heard a dog barking from outside.

This is the "feature" of Haigeng!

But after only listening to a few times, Zeng Zheng could tell something was wrong.

"Brother Gao, has this dog given birth to a womb?"

"Mr. Zeng, your ears are really good!"

Gao Hongbo said with a wry smile, "It is true that we have raised a few more wolf dogs this year than last year, but it is not to keep an eye on reporters."

"Oh? What's that for?"

"It's because the management was loose last year and people kept losing things in the dormitory."

"The main purpose of raising more wolf dogs is to patrol at night and act as watchmen in the homes and homes."

Speaking of this, Gao Hongbo did not forget to remind Zeng Zheng.

"Mr. Zeng, don't go out after 11 o'clock at night."

"Two days ago, a foreign teacher from Shenhua was bitten by a dog because he went out at night."

"I heard that these wolfdogs were all retired police dogs. At that time, I couldn't hold them back and even bit them for a long time without letting up."

"In the end, the dog was given an injection of anesthesia, and the dog relaxed."

"The teaching assistant is still in the hospital and almost had his leg amputated!"

Zeng Zheng also smacked his tongue after hearing this.

Good guy, Haigeng is getting stricter every year!

"How is the team these days? Are the players adapting to it? I heard that Haigeng has added a lot of entertainment facilities?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Hongbo waved his hand directly.

"Mr. Zeng, you are talking about the comprehensive pavilion that Kunming Government invested 60 million to build at last year's World Expo, right?"

"Yes, I heard the lady just said that you can still play bowling?"

"Not only are there bowling, table tennis, badminton, billiards, squash, chess and card rooms, a gym and more! There's even karaoke!"

"Hey? How good is the relationship?" Zeng Zheng became interested upon hearing this, "Let's take the team members to sing after training one day!"

"Forget it, I can't go!" Gao Hongbo waved his hand directly.

"Why can't I go? There are too many people in line?"

"No." Gao Hongbo shook his head, "We don't let the players in at all!"

"Don't let the players in?" Zeng Zheng didn't understand. "If you don't let the players in, who will let in?"

"The leaders who came to inspect!" Gao Hongbo rolled his eyes, "Not to mention karaoke, even the gym has opening hours."

"A few days ago, several national security team members and administrators got into fights."

“In the end, Guoan was fined 2,000 yuan!”

Zeng Zheng nodded after hearing this.

It really fits the style of this base.

"How about the stadium? Are the players still adaptable?"

Speaking of the stadium, Gao Hongbo shook his head like a rattle.

"Mr. Zeng, this stadium is even worse!"

"The turf is withered and yellow, and loess is exposed in many places!"

Gao Hongbo continued, "I talked to Director Han of the base a few days ago. What do you think he said?"

"What do you say?"

"He said that there was a severe frost just before New Year's Day in Kunming, and that the youth team had used it for a month, so the venue was severely damaged."

"And the grass on the seaside is natural grass, which is incomparable to the grass in the stadium."

"What they can do is hire someone to use a roller to flatten it, and then pour some water to keep the ground soft."

"No, I even said: 'It's good if there are no rocks to hurt your feet!'"

"Mr. Zeng, listen, is this ridiculous?"

"Haigeng is the spring training base designated by Bamboo Shoes, and the infrastructure is not as good as our Jianglong team!"

"The 60 million was said to support the construction of Haigeng, but who knows where it went."

Gao Hongbo is not an honest person who is good at words.

But this time Zeng Zheng could tell that he was really angry.

After hearing this, Zeng Zheng's impression of Haigeng dropped a lot.

"What about the food? How are the food conditions?"

When he heard about the food, Gao Hongbo clapped his fingers and said:

"The food standard set by Haigeng for the team members is 50 yuan per person per day."

"The canteen gives each person a set of special tableware. You can get it from the disinfection cabinet before eating."

"For this training camp, the spring training office specially invited eight famous chefs from the north and south from several large hotels in Kunming. I heard that they have done a lot of research on caloric nutrition and recovery."

"Where's the taste?" Zeng Zheng asked the key point.

"That's about it." Gao Hongbo replied, "Didn't the youth team just finish training a few days ago? It is said that the coach and players think it is better than Wuzhou and Dongguan."

Speaking of this, Gao Hongbo suddenly laughed.

“But what’s interesting is that the base has also added a Western restaurant, which is much more expensive than Chinese food!”

"As a result, several foreign players found it too unpalatable after eating a few bites, so they have been eating Chinese food with everyone these days."

After asking about food and accommodation, Zeng Zheng asked about the training for the past few days.

Gao Hongbo: “These days I mainly focus on practicing physical fitness and basic skills.”

"The physical test has been changed this year and it has been changed to our 'yoyo return run'."

"However, other teams are a little dissatisfied. They think that the assessment information announced by Bamboo Shoes was too late and the players did not have time to train."

"That's what I say it should be!"

"Assessment and assessment, it's just like a test. If the questions are told to you in advance, then what else is there to test?"

After hearing this, Zeng Zheng nodded.

No matter what, Zhu Xie still listened to this matter.

The 12-minute run can no longer meet the growing needs of football players.

Zeng Zheng has also proved in countless competitions that the players who can turn back and run are the kings of physical fitness.

With Zeng Zheng taking the lead and setting an example, even if some teams and players were dissatisfied with this, it would not create any waves.

After a brief understanding, Zeng Zheng felt that it would be better to go and take a look in person.

Anyway, Ou Chuliang has returned from Qingyuan and is training now.

Even if you want to find out about the situation from him, you have to wait until the training is over.

On the way, the blackboard newspapers and photos on the roadside attracted Zeng Zheng's attention.

"Hey, there's me up here!"

Following what Zeng Zheng was pointing at, in the corner of the photo of the women's football team winning the championship, we saw half of Zeng Zheng's face.

Zeng Zheng was very happy to be featured in the women's football championship photo.

But Gao Hongbo was not so excited.

"Mr. Zeng, who do you think is responsible for these blackboard newspapers?"

"Who did it?" Zeng Zheng didn't take Gao Hongbo's question seriously and replied casually, "Can it be done by a player?"

"Yes, it was the players who did it!" Gao Hongbo's face once again filled with a wry smile.

"A big pile of red-headed documents came down from me a few days ago. Now we have a one-and-a-half-hour study class after training every day."

"Not only that, these blackboard newspapers are issued once a week and are evenly distributed to each team."

"Mr. Zeng, tell me, it's tiring to do this blackboard newspaper, but you still have to promote the spirit of women's football and the spirit of youth to us every day. It's so boring!"

"This year, there are also player management regulations and league rules that need to be memorized. I have a headache just looking at those small prints, let alone the players."

Listening to Gao Hongbo's complaints, Mr. Zeng was speechless.

From what he has seen and heard along the way from his arrival in Haigen to now, Zeng Zheng has become more and more aware of why on weekends, some players jump over the wall and go to the city to have fun.

"From what Brother Gao said, it's really almost like squatting here!"

"Whether it's stricter or more monotonous in training, it will be good for the players." Gao Hongbo changed the subject, "After becoming a coach this year, my mentality has also changed a lot."

"Actually, in general, Haigeng is much better than when I was a player."

"As long as there is less formalism, the effect of spring training is still good!"

While the two were talking, there was a chorus of voices coming from under the Olympic countdown sign opposite.

Before Zeng Zheng could speak, Gao Hongbo introduced, "This is the women's softball team! There is a barbed wire fence separating them from our training ground."

"It's nice here! You can eat, drink and train!" As the two sides turned around, the clear voice of a girl who looked younger than eighteen years old attracted Zeng Zheng's attention.

"Sister Li, look how big and bright the street lights in Xin'an are!"

Zeng Zheng smiled after hearing this and whispered to Gao Hongbo: "Brother Gao, look, not everyone thinks the conditions here are bad!"

Before he finished speaking, several dogs barked in the distance.

The next second, the little girl with a crisp voice suddenly changed her face: "Woo! We are going to jail with the men's football team again!"
