Chapter 337 It's the First Time

Overturning Wolfsburg at home is a great boost to Hoffenheim's morale, and it also has practical significance for the next team's schedule-after another round of the league, Hoffenheim will participate in the knockout stage of the Europa League.

However, for Long Bisheng, whether it is the league or the Europa League, it is not something he has to consider now. After the game against Wolfsburg, Long Bisheng flew back to China with Li Jie, preparing to participate in the national team training and usher in his first national team match.

The friendly match against Honduras, as it was the first official international A-level match of the newly formed national team, domestic fans were also very concerned about it. February [-]th is the international football match day. Although many strong teams will play games on this day, the domestic media will focus on the Chinese national team. Even the Honduras national team that came to China has also received considerable attention.

Whether it is now or in the past, Honduras is not a particularly good team. Although their captain Suazo has not retired, he is already over [-] years old. Others such as Leon who played for Turin in Serie A, Figueroa of Wigan in the Premier League, and Palacios of Tottenham are all very good players, but their team does not have superstars like Messi and Adriano who are ranked first in the world.

The list of 23 national team players selected by Ding Yu is very luxurious. Overseas players are all selected, such as Naples goalkeeper Chu Ran, Fiorentina midfielder Li Fang, Newcastle striker Messi, Chelsea striker Adriano, Glasgow Rangers defender Du Wei, and domestic players Du Zhenyu and Sun Bing. For the national team, China has not produced very good full-backs recently. At the same time, for a defender, more than 27 years old is not too old. He will be the well-deserved captain of the national team.

Players under the age of 25 were the main body of the national team training camp. Ding Yune did not shy away from his relatives and selected the players he had trained—Wu Bufan, Li Jie, Hu Gandang, Zhang Yi, Zhou Zhou, Dai Guangming and Long Bisheng were all selected. Seven roommates who lived in the same dormitory were selected for the national team at the same time. For Fan Pengfei in the same age group, players born in 89 accounted for half of the national team's roster. Of course, not many people would have any objections to this. After all, in the World Cup three years later, these people happened to be 25 years old, and they were in their prime.

The training camp was also in Haigeng. Li Jie and Long Bisheng came to Haigeng to gather with their teammates. Apart from a group of old friends, other players also met in the last meeting. Except for Adriano and Messi, who didn’t come last time, the behavior of these two is not much different from the Chinese. Adriano has been in China for four or five years, and Messi has been in China for eight years. on.

For Long Bisheng and the others, they also need to look up to them. Adriano was selected for the national team for the first time and helped the national team get No.3, the best result in the World Cup so far. Messi is also the biggest contributor to the Chinese Olympic team winning the Olympic gold medal three years ago. Therefore, after a day of training, Dai Guangming and the others looked at Long Bisheng and Fan Pengfei with sympathy.

However, Long Bisheng also felt a little proud. With these teammates of the national team, he talked about either the top league or the Champions League. The last time was the Asian Champions League. He probably thought it was meaningless before changing a season, but now he is also a Bundesliga player, and he is also participating in the UEFA Cup.

I have trained in the national team for a few days. There is nothing to say. The training of the national team is to let the players get acquainted with each other. If it is not because this is a brand new national team and there is an urgent need to establish a tacit understanding among the players, it is impossible for Ding Yu to call all the players in Europe into the team.

However, for Long Bisheng and his newcomers to the national team, this is the first time for them to train with a big-name player like Messi. Messi is a star with a very civilian taste. As a superstar who has won the Champions League, the Premier League, the midfielder, the Olympic champion, and the World Footballer of the Year, he has no pretensions.

On the first day of the training camp, Long Bisheng did something embarrassing. When he saw Adriano, he ran up excitedly and shook his hand for a long time, which made Adriano start to get hairy. He wondered if there was something wrong with this big man who was taller and stronger than himself, or had some other abnormal sexual orientation...

Later, Li Fang helped explain that Long Bisheng was so excited because he learned from Adriano in his long-range shooting—at least part of it was learned from Adriano. Back then, Long Bisheng said he wanted to train long-range shooting. Li Fang specially helped him get three super forward long-range shooting instruction videos for him. They are the legendary striker Batistuta of Li Fang's club Fiorentina. The England striker Shearer was obtained by the help of the boss Pei Wei. The other one is Adriano, Li Fang's teammate and good friend of the national team.

It is precisely because of these relationships that the CD that Li Fang handed to Long Bisheng at that time was not just a simple collection of goals, but a long-range shooting method with personal commentary and personal demonstration by the three of them.

After listening to Li Fang's explanation, Adriano was relieved and laughed heartily: "It must have been several years, right? I asked Li Fang at the time, but he still refused to say who it was. I was exhausted when I recorded that CD."

"Actually, among the three of you, your way of playing football is the most suitable for winning." Li Fang said with a smile: "You and Aaron are both taller and bigger, but Wright, you have better skills at your feet, and Aaron is better at heading the ball."

"How can I compete with Leter..." Long Bisheng waved his hands hurriedly, Adriano smiled, then patted Long Bisheng on the shoulder and remained silent.

He is 29 years old this year. Although he is still in the golden age of a professional player, he has gradually gone downhill for a powerful center forward. He will be 32 years old in the World Cup three years later, and he may not be able to compete against Long Bisheng by then.

A few days of training time passed quickly, and at the KM City Stadium, the newly formed national team started their first international A-level match.

Fans packed the KM City Stadium, which can accommodate 2 people, to the brim. Everyone wanted to see the strength of the national team after a large number of old players faded out of the national team, and the national team also handed over a satisfying answer to the fans.

The starting lineup in the first half was dominated by old players. Adriano, Messi, Li Fang, Chu Ran and other stars all appeared on the field. Although the Honduras national team from afar was also full of main players, it was still unable to compare with the Chinese team that retained nearly half of the former Chinese national team’s main players. Shoot another victory.

Before the end of the first half, Dai Guangming's breakthrough created a direct free kick opportunity. Li Fang's beautiful arc kick brought the atmosphere in the KM City Stadium to its peak. The fans were happy to see that although Nie Fei, Ai Lin, Zhu Guosheng and other players left the national team, Dai Guangming, Hu Gandang and Li Jie, who represented the national team for the first time, performed equally well!

In the second half, the two sides began a large-scale change of players. All eleven starting players were replaced. This is also the requirement of the clubs where Messi and other stars belong. Whether it is Newcastle or Chelsea or Fiorentina or Naples, they do not want their main players to consume too much energy in a friendly match, and Long Bisheng also ushered in the first match of his national team.

After playing, Long Bisheng's partner was Fan Pengfei, and his teammates behind him were teammates from the World Youth Championships such as Zhou Zhou, Zhang Yi, and Jiang Qi. In fact, the overall strength of the Chinese national team's players in the second half was not as good as that of the Chinese youth team. After all, Dai Guangming, Hu Gandang and Li Jie were replaced.

Despite this, the Chinese team still expanded the score in the second half. Long Bisheng’s header ferry helped the surrounding area to expand the score.

After the game, Long Bisheng was a little bit unsatisfied, but when he and his teammates paid tribute to the fans in the stands, his chest was still full of pride-I finally played for the national team!Even if it's just a friendly match!
