King of the Zone

When Cheng Hai followed the Olympic team assistant to the Asian Games Village, the news of his arrival in Yangcheng had already spread. Countless reporters, athletes, and volunteers in the Asian Games Village, except those who could not leave their posts, began to gather at the entrance of the village, or stood at the dormitory window and looked at the direction of the village entrance.

Because, besides Liu Xiang, Cheng Hai is the biggest star of the Chinese delegation in this Asian Games.

Others like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Guo Jingjing, etc., did not participate in this Asian Games.

Therefore, Dortmund club can let Cheng Hai come to participate in the Asian Games, it is really a face.

Although Cheng Hai has not won any championships, and it has been less than three months since his debut in the first official game, the attractiveness of football, the world's number one sport, as well as the fame of the Bundesliga and Dortmund, plus Cheng Hai's own performance, have allowed him to rise to the forefront of China's sports stars in just over two months.

This is just the current popularity. In terms of growth potential, most people think that no one in China can compare with Cheng Hai.

After all, a college amateur player gained a firm foothold in the Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in just four months, ranking first in the Bundesliga scorer list. He played 18 times as a substitute in official games and scored 15 goals. This is already more than the total number of goals scored by many famous forwards in a season.

With such a performance, he is a top talent in the world, not to mention Huaguo, with outstanding talent and extremely high potential.

Therefore, no matter in terms of current fame or future development potential, Cheng Hai can't be called a superstar in Europe, but he can definitely be called a supernova in China, and he is a supernova whose fame directly catches up with the old sports stars.

For example, in this Asian Games, the Chinese delegation has nearly 1000 athletes, and Cheng Hai is still the second biggest star in the delegation after Liu Xiang.

In addition, Cheng Hai has no domestic professional competition and training experience at all. He was directly selected by Dortmund's scouts and started from a wealthy foreign club. He can be called a legend.

Therefore, the athletes and volunteers in the Asian Games Village are so curious about him, and the reporters are so interested in him.

Not every media has the capital to send overseas reporters. Although many people repost Cheng Hai's related reports every day, they never get to see them, even some national-level media reporters.

That's why when they heard that Cheng Hai had arrived at the airport and was heading towards the Asian Games Village, everyone rushed forward.

The airport is still tens of kilometers away from the Asian Games Village. In addition to the traffic jam, it took a lot of time on the road.

When Cheng Hai's car arrived at the Asian Games Village, hundreds of journalists, volunteers and athletes from China had already gathered at the entrance of the village. There were also many athletes from other Asian countries standing outside to watch the fun.

Cheng Hai is still well-known in Asia.

The car couldn't get in, so Cheng Hai could only get out of the car to greet everyone, which aroused applause and cheers from the volunteers and some young athletes.

Cheng Hai's body does not have any aura of domestic football, and he is currently the most recognized football star in China.

Then, the reporters gathered around began to chatter and ask questions, and Cheng Hai answered the reporters' questions while signing autographs for some volunteers.

Reporter: "Cheng Hai, you are selected for the Olympic team for the first time, how long do you think it will take you to reach a tacit understanding with your teammates?"

Cheng Hai: "Although I joined the team late, our goal is the same, to win glory for the country. Therefore, I believe that I can quickly integrate into the team."

Reporter: "Do you think the Football Association's goal of entering the quarter-finals can be achieved?"

Cheng Hai: "No one knows this, but we will definitely do our best to achieve results that satisfy the fans."

Reporter: "As the No.1 scorer in the Bundesliga, do you think you can get the top scorer in this Asian Games?"

Cheng Hai: "Of course I think about it, but it also depends on the team's tactics, the cooperation of teammates, the opponent's defense, and how far our team can go. Therefore, this can only be a vision goal. At present, we will first consider the group qualifying thing!"

Reporter: "In four months, you have grown from a college amateur player to a world-class shooter who is the No. 1 scorer in the Bundesliga. Do you have any secrets?"

Cheng Hai: "First of all, I'm still far away from being a world-class shooter. It's not just a matter of scoring a few goals in a few games, but the results accumulated over the years in many competitions. It's hard for anyone to be the top scorer in one season, let alone I haven't got it yet. In addition, I really can't say anything about the secret of success. Maybe, as my coach Klopp said, my football talent is not bad?"

As soon as Cheng Hai said these words, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Cheng Hai's talent is not only good, it is the top in world football, right?
Otherwise, why did Cheng Hai pass the trial training as an amateur player, and became the top scorer in the Dortmund team in just two or three months, and occupied the top scorer list in the Bundesliga.

……

That night, the domestic media reported the news of Cheng Hai's return to China and his arrival in Yangcheng. Countless fans were looking forward to the football match of the Asian Games.

In fact, the Olympic team this time is the new U23 Olympic team that has just been established. It is the age-appropriate players for the 2012 London Olympics. Except for a few people such as Wang Dalei and Zhang Linpeng, everyone has a little impression, the other players are almost all newcomers, and few fans can recognize them.

Such a situation would definitely lead to low attendance on the court.

The Asian Games itself is not a professional football game for adults. The football in the Asian Games is just like Olympic football. It is a game for the U23 Olympic team in the lower age group. It is not as attractive to fans as the adult national team games such as the World Cup, European Cup, and Champions League.

Coupled with the previous reputation of the National Football Team and the fact that there are no stars, even at home, there will not be too many attendances. It is not bad to fill half of the seats.

But when the news came out that Cheng Hai was selected for the National Olympic team and was about to return to China to participate in the Asian Games, the domestic fans immediately became overwhelmed.

For the three group matches that Hua Guo participated in, the tickets were sold out in just a few days, and there was not a single ticket left.

Cheng Hai, who ranks first in the Bundesliga scorer list and has achieved great fame in Europe, is too attractive to domestic fans.

And domestic fans are also very tired of all kinds of things about Huaguo football. They say they are tired and tired of watching, and they get angry when they mention the national football.

But the appearance of Cheng Hai, like nectar after a long drought, made everyone's eyes shine.

Cheng Hai didn't make his debut in domestic football, and he didn't get caught up in the atmosphere of domestic football. He played abroad for several months, and he was full of brilliant results. There was no negative news.

Therefore, the fans had a good impression of Cheng Hai, so they came from all over the country and bought all the tickets for the few U23 games in the Asian Games.

This is Cheng Hai's domestic competition debut, and it is also a welcome ceremony for domestic fans to Cheng Hai.

……

Following the assistant to the residence of the Olympic team, Cheng Hai met the leaders of the Hua Guo delegation, the Olympic team leader, coaches, assistants, assistants, team doctors, players, etc. Everyone welcomed Cheng Hai's arrival.

The leaders expressed great joy for Cheng Hai's return, because Cheng Hai's joining represented the possibility of achieving better results for the Olympic team.

And the players don't have any envy, jealousy or hatred.

Because, Cheng Hai's achievements have surpassed many people's best expectations for themselves.

When they were still working hard for the team's main position and playing in the Chinese Super League, Cheng Hai had already secured his main position in the Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, and reached the top scorer list in the Bundesliga.

This is a height that even Yang Chen, the former No.1 overseas student, has not reached.

This kind of performance is unmatched even by the first team of the national football team, let alone the players of the national Olympic team.

Although Cheng Hai is the youngest in the Olympic team, his achievements are something that no one can achieve in a lifetime, or even close to it.

At this height, their qualifications that they joined the team for training a few days earlier than Cheng Hai were useless at all.

Many people even took the initiative to talk to Cheng Hai, expressing their admiration for him and hoping that the Olympic team will achieve good results under his leadership.

Some people have already placed Cheng Hai as the leader and core of the Olympic team.

It's a pity that Cheng Hai's physical fitness is flawed and he can't play the whole game, so he can't be the captain.

Otherwise, it is estimated that the captain of this Olympic team belongs to Cheng Hai.

The welcome party didn't last long, as the leaders worried that Cheng Hai would be tired from the long flight and jet lag.

In order to protect Cheng Hai's physical and mental state, everyone dispersed soon.

It may be that he was afraid that something unexpected would happen and he would not be able to take part in the Asian Games. Therefore, it was not until the welcome party attended by the head of the Chinese delegation and other big leaders that Cheng Hai received the new task issued by the system about the Asian Games:

Task 6: Asian Games men's football champion
Task requirements: Help the Huaguo U23 men's national football team win the men's football championship in the 2010 Yangcheng Asian Games
Success reward: 100 skill points
……

Hearing the number of rewards read out by the system, Cheng Hai was almost jealous.

100 skill points are the same as the reward for the UEFA Cup champion, how many skills can he add to the full value?

Cheng Hai is full of expectations for this.

At the same time, Cheng Hai was also somewhat puzzled.

After all, not to mention the Asian Games, the Asian Cup's level of skills and tactics and confrontation intensity cannot be compared with the UEFA Cup. How can a U23 men's football champion in the Asian Games get a reward of 100 skill points?

Afterwards, Cheng Hai consulted the system, and the system gave him an answer.

It turns out that in the system settings, the honors won by wearing the national team jersey and fighting for the country are much higher than the clubs. This is to encourage players to play for the country and win glory for the country.

Cheng Hai was very excited about this.

Since the final championship rewards are so high, wouldn’t there be very rich rewards for the goal award, the best on the spot, the winning award, the final top scorer, the best player in the game, etc. in the usual games?

Originally, Cheng Hai only came here with a sense of honor to play for the country, but now, apart from the sense of honor, he has a strong desire to win the game and increase his own strength.

Of course, outsiders don't know about Cheng Hai taking on new tasks and communicating with the system.

After the meeting ended, the assistant took Cheng Hai to a dormitory first, settled his luggage, took Cheng Hai to have dinner, and then went to bed early.

Although Cheng Hai was not afraid of going to bed late, he didn't want to talk too much nonsense with these Football Association leaders, so he didn't raise any objections to going to bed so early.

He is willing to put on the national team jersey, fight for the country, and bring joy and victory to the lovely and sad fans.

However, the current situation and history of football in Huaguo made it difficult for him to report good feelings to the officials of the Football Association. It is better to have less contact or less contact. It is better to go back to the dormitory and sleep well than to make false claims with these officials.

After a night's rest, on November 11, Cheng Hai participated in the first joint training with his Olympic team teammates.

At first, everyone thought that Cheng Hai had gone through the match against Paris Saint-Germain, then flew halfway around the world by plane, and then suffered from jet lag.

As a result, unexpectedly, Cheng Hai became full of energy after just resting for a night, and there was no problem at all.

This made everyone immediately convinced.

They felt that Cheng Hai's ability to recover was part of the talent given to Cheng Hai by God.

And that's just the beginning.

After basic warm-up training and physical training in the morning, nothing can be seen. Cheng Hai's physical fitness is even weak, but this is a weakness known to the whole world, and it is not surprising.

After the technical and tactical drills for the team training match started in the afternoon, these young domestic players really saw the horror of Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai also came into contact with domestic professional players for the first time, and was also dumbfounded at their weak technical and tactical level.

In the eyes of these domestic U23 teammates, Cheng Hai is average in height and build, but his physique is too terrifying, like a tank. Whether they take the initiative to bump into Cheng Hai or Cheng Hai bumps into them, they are all at a disadvantage.

The most important thing is Cheng Hai's ability to run without the ball, grab points, dribble, break through, etc., which makes them far behind and unable to defend.

In a 45-minute training match, Cheng Hai, who practiced with his teammates for the first time, scored 5 goals, an average of 9 minutes, which made everyone on and off the field dumbfounded.

You know, this is the first time Cheng Hai and his teammates have practiced together, and there is no tacit understanding at all.

Cheng Hai almost entirely relied on his ability to grab points and break through to get a chance to shoot, and then hit it with one hit.

For these young players who can't even play in the Chinese Super League in China, Cheng Hai's strength is simply unacceptable.

As for Cheng Hai's feelings towards his teammates, he feels that they are also professional players, but compared with Dortmund's teammates, these domestic teammates are several light years behind.

If it weren't for being unfamiliar with his teammates, Cheng Hai would probably be able to score double-digit goals.

Training with these teammates, Cheng Hai felt like adults and children were training together.

Only then did Cheng Hai realize how high and outrageous his starting point was.

According to the normal trajectory of Huaguo players, even if he stands out from the major football leagues, he should first go to the domestic first-tier or third-tier teams as a substitute for one or two years, conduct professional training, and find time to play as a substitute, and then after two or three years of practice and progress, he can reach the Huachao level and join the Huachao team.

The next step is to struggle in the Chinese Super League for a lifetime. Only a very small number of players have the opportunity to train in Europe, and they are all downstream teams or teams in the secondary leagues of the five major leagues.

Leaving aside those lesser-known secondary league teams, Huaguo players can join the five major league teams and get the chance to play, and they can count on one hand.

Therefore, Cheng Hai went to Dortmund for trial training and passed as soon as he finished playing the major football league games, and got a real professional contract. This is definitely a typical example of debut and peak!

Not to mention Huaguo, even in the world, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find such an example of an 18-year-old amateur player who has not undergone professional training and signed for the first time to join the upper reaches of the five major leagues.

This kind of starting point is really too high for Cheng Hai, and it immediately raised his vision, making him suddenly return to China to train with these domestic players who may not even be able to make it to the top league. It feels like training with a child.

No matter how you feel, training still needs to be trained, and basic formations, running positions, and requirements still need to be mentioned.

Otherwise, when Cheng Hai enters the court and no one passes him the ball, it will be bad.

Judging from the situation in training, as long as someone passes the ball to Cheng Hai, even if the opportunity is not good, Cheng Hai can solve the final breakthrough shot by himself.

Of course, the better Cheng Hai performed in training, the happier everyone was.

Isn't calling Cheng Hai into the team just to use Cheng Hai's strength to make up for the regret of being weak for the Olympic team?

As long as Cheng Hai solves the final shooting problem, the prospect of the Olympic team in this Asian Games is really worth looking forward to!

Of course, this is just the expectation of the coaches and teammates.

For Cheng Hai, through the strength of the National Olympic team, he can also estimate the strength of those opponents in the Asian Games. It is estimated to be stronger than the National Olympic team, but also limited.

Perhaps, even if you are not familiar with your teammates, you can lead the Olympic team to achieve good results in the Asian Games by fighting alone, until you win the championship, complete task 6, and get a reward of 100 skill points.

After the first training session, Cheng Hai's training experience was a bit beyond Cheng Hai's expectations. After a day's training, it was only 300, which was less than one-third of Dortmund's daily training.

It seems that, unlike the national honor bonus in official games, the usual training experience is still distributed according to the strength of the team.

Daytime training is only 300, and the double reward for night dream training is naturally only 600.

By the day of the competition, Cheng Hai's total experience was 20/6.04 million at level 100.

If he wants to be promoted, Cheng Hai has to work hard to score goals and lead his team to win in this competition that rewards the UEFA Cup!
