Chapter 330 It's the First Time Again

What does the training camp of the national team look like?

Before coming to Haigeng to report, Long Bisheng had been thinking about this issue.

Now he is really facing the training of the national team, but to his disappointment, there is no technical training in the national team, because in the club, the international footballers have done enough training in this area. As the head coach of the national team, Ding Yu has only one thing to do, which is to inspect the status of the players, examine their technical characteristics, and then select players according to their own requirements.

Although there are 48 players selected, which is a very large number, but there are many old players like Nie Fei and the others. The purpose of their selection for the national team is to guide the newly selected players to quickly familiarize themselves with the atmosphere of the national team.

For young players like Long Bisheng—in fact, they are not young anymore, they are already 22 years old. Compared with Sun Chenghai who became the youngest international footballer in Chinese history at the age of 19, Nie Fei who turned the tide at the age of 21 and helped the Chinese national team enter the World Cup for the first time, and Messi scored a goal in the World Cup at the age of 19, they are already relatively old. Being able to train with veteran international superstars such as Nie Fei and Sun Chenghai is an experience that has never been experienced, and it has never been an incentive. .

It has to be said that the influence and performance of the national team represented by Nie Fei and Sun Chenghai were really outstanding. Starting from the 98 World Cup, they achieved the best results in 02, reached their peak in 06, and became the swan song in 10. Among them, only Adriano, Messi, Li Fang, Chu Ran and other outstanding players can enter the national team.These players can be called the golden generation of Chinese football.

However, after the golden generation of any national team brings outstanding records and memorable performances, there will always be a gap for a period of time. Now the Chinese national team is facing such a blank period.

Fortunately, although Nie Fei and others have achieved success and fame, they still have the heart of serving the country and a responsible attitude. Although they know that they will not participate in this year's Asian Cup, they still stand on the last shift. In the limited training sessions before the start of the Asian Cup, they will play the final role.

Naturally, Long Bisheng didn't know all of this, so during this week's training camp, the group of young players who were selected for the national team for the first time performed extremely hard, showing their best side in front of the new head coach.

And their performance also made Nie Fei and other old international players feel happy.

Whether it's Long Bisheng's dominance in the penalty area, or the dexterous and maneuverable breakthroughs around the flanks, Li Jie's calm atmosphere, Wu Bufan's quick response, Zhang Yi's accurate cross, Fan Pengfei's sense of smell in front of the goal...all show that they can gain a foothold in the European League.

The older generation of players is getting old, and the new generation of players has grown up. After the golden generation faded out of the national team, the Chinese team immediately found new blood.

********************************************
The one-week training camp is over, and Ding Yu is quite satisfied. The young people he has brought out already have the ability to gain a foothold in the national team, which also makes the burden on him, the new national team head coach, a lot lighter. It is not easy to be the head coach of the national team, but it is even more difficult to be the head coach of a national team that is undergoing a large-scale metabolism.

And now in front of him is a team that is young but not diminished in strength.

With Chu Ran, Li Fang, Adriano, Messi, Du Zhenyu, Du Wei and other Mesozoic players as the framework, plus a few outstanding young players, he will immediately have a team with combat effectiveness and the ability to fight in the World Cup.

What he has to do now is to eliminate the influence of old players in the national team, so that new players can display their abilities in the national team.

The Asian Cup half a year later will be the touchstone of this new national team.

Before that, the national team will have two training camps and three warm-up matches. During this period, he will determine the main framework of the national team. If it is determined well, then at least in the next five years, the national team's combat effectiveness will not decline.

On the last day of the training camp, the national team played an in-team training match. Ding Yu specially arranged for the Mesozoic players to form a team and the younger players to form a team. As a result, in two 10-minute half-time matches, both sides won a game. The Mesozoic players are certainly experienced and outstanding, but the young players are not afraid of tigers, and they are not inferior to the Mesozoic players.

What makes Ding Yu more satisfied is the atmosphere in the team.

Although all the players knew that this would be a test for them to see whether they could occupy a place in the national team in the future, the Mesozoic players and the young players got along very well. It must be said that Long Bisheng was also responsible for this. The two main players of the Mesozoic Era, Chu Ran and Li Fang, had a close relationship with him, while the young players were almost all his friends. With this loyal and honest Long Bisheng as a bond, the two groups of players of different ages also had a friendship and a legitimate competitive mentality.

Of course, the most important thing is that a group of old international footballers are still in the team. With such a group of old international footballers who have great prestige among the players, no one dares to do anything.

******************************************
"Bisheng, the training camp is over tomorrow, how do you feel about this week?" Fan Pengfei asked Long Bisheng while packing his luggage.

"It's okay, I'm very excited, it's the first time to participate in the training camp of the national team." Long Bisheng was also packing his luggage.

"However, the competition in our national team is really fierce. Those older players, including those who play in China, are all outstanding." Fan Pengfei seemed to really think about it. He began to pay attention to other people's excellence, instead of always thinking that he was the best as before. Sometimes overconfidence is also a disaster.

"Our performance is not bad. Didn't we also win against them yesterday? Although they won three goals against us, we only won one goal." Long Bisheng said with a smile: "But their experience is much richer than ours. When they have an advantage, they can score as many points as possible, and when they are at a disadvantage, they can lose as little as possible."

Hearing this, Fan Pengfei also laughed. Indeed, in the two halves of the match, the half in which the Mesozoic players had the upper hand and the half in which the young players had the upper hand had similar opportunities and advantages. However, the sophistication of the Mesozoic players allowed them to seize more opportunities. On this point, the young players still need to learn more.

"Must win, you're getting smarter now!" Li Fang laughed loudly from outside the door, and then he pushed the door in and said to Chu Ran beside him, "But it's no wonder, he played in the UEFA Cup when he was only 22 years old. We didn't participate in European competitions when he was his age."

Chu Ran immediately rolled his eyes. Both of them played in Serie A, but Chu Ran's Naples was obviously not as good as Li Fang's Fiorentina. Fiorentina has participated in the European Champions Cup for three consecutive years, and Naples is still working hard to qualify for the UEFA Cup. This season is only the first time for Chu Ran to participate in the European League formerly known as the UEFA Cup.

Li Fang and Chu Ran are now the absolute main force of the national team, and both of them are in their prime. Chu Ran is almost five years older than Long Bisheng. This year, he is 27, which is the golden age of a player. Chu Ran is a bit older, not even 29. For a goalkeeper, this age is at his best.

As big brothers, Li Fang and Chu Ran wanted to see how Long Bisheng felt when he participated in the national team training camp for the first time, but when they came to the door, they just heard Long Bisheng's words.

Then the two of them immediately felt relieved. After a week of training with those old international players, they still maintained a strong confidence. At the same time, they were able to perceive the biggest difference between themselves and the old players.

"This is the first time to participate in the training camp of the national team, are you excited?" Chu Ran asked Long Bisheng and Fan Pengfei with a smile.

"It's okay." Fan Pengfei replied with a smile. He was not very familiar with Chu Ran and Li Fang, so he answered very simply.

"I was very excited at the beginning. How can I say that I will become a national team again." Long Bisheng replied: "But after two days, it will be fine. People always have their firsts. I have had many firsts this season. I played for the first time in the Bundesliga, played in the European League for the first time, and participated in the national team training for the first time... I don’t care if there are too many."

Chu Ran rolled his eyes again, he was ashamed as Long Bisheng, who was seven years younger than him, participated in the European competition for the first time this season...

"This training camp is coming to an end. I think with your performance, your names will definitely be included in the next training camp." Li Fang said in a big brother tone: "So during this period of time, you must perform well in your team. Now the national team is at a critical moment for metabolism, and opportunities will only be reserved for those who are prepared."
