Chapter 139 First Come, First Practice
After Zhou Tiancheng finished speaking, he pushed through the crowd and walked out of the airport. The reporters actually still had a lot of questions, but seeing him like this, it was really hard to stop him. He just looked at Zhou Tiancheng's back, and all the reporters And the mood of the fans is very complicated.

They could all tell that Zhou Tiancheng really wanted to help the national team, but could he really get what he wanted?

Everyone has no idea. The past facts have proved that the national team is a mud pit. A lot of gold that became famous at a young age is thrown into it, and it will never shine again, and it will all be buried deep.When the scene at the airport and Zhou Tiancheng's words were posted on the Internet, many fans not only failed to see hope, but felt sorry for Zhou Tiancheng.

"His heart is commendable, but Zhou Tiancheng never imagined how big this pit is. This idea is still naive."

"Why come to this muddy water, can't you play well in Schalke? Hey..."

According to the training location notified on the call-up order, after Zhou Tiancheng came out of Baiyun Airport, he had to go to QY City, tens of kilometers away from Guangzhou, where there was a standing national training base. Before major international competitions, the national team will train here for a period of time.

Today happened to be the first day of the stipulated registration date. When Zhou Tiancheng arrived here, it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, and the gate of Qingyuan National Football Base was still closed. The guard glanced at the training notice and call-up that Zhou Tiancheng handed over. Order, put him in.

However, Zhou Tiancheng realized that he seemed to have come a bit early. Except for some staff who maintained the field, there was no one who looked like a coaching staff or a team member.

Zhou Tiancheng didn't know where he was going. According to the notice, during the training camp, he would stay in the base for food, lodging and training, but now he came too early, and no one arranged for him at all.He simply found the training ground directly, but no one came, so he wanted to find a piece of turf that was almost maintained to warm up first.

His appearance aroused the curiosity of the staff in the venue. A middle-aged man muttered in a low voice: "This guy, every time he comes to the training camp, there are new faces. I haven't seen him fight like this. What time is it?"

However, there was still a young man with sharp eyesight who exclaimed, "It's him!"

"Who is it?" A few people next to him leaned over and asked.

"Your eyes are so bad? Zhou Tiancheng! Absolutely right, this guy is exactly the same as on TV!"

A few other young Bundesliga fans suddenly realized, and then their eyes lit up, and they looked at their leader, the middle-aged man, with pleading eyes: "Boss, we want to get an autograph, look?"

"Zhou Tiancheng? Is that the one who has been reported by the media to play football in Germany these days?" The middle-aged man doesn't watch football, but he has heard of Zhou Tiancheng under the carpet bombing of the media. Stare: "Work! I still need to sign. People will come in a while, and I haven't finished the job yet. I won't help you if the higher-ups blame you!"

Several young people suddenly looked disappointed. They finally had a chance to face the stars of the five major leagues at close range, but now they can only take a look from a distance.

"Brothers, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not a day for them to train here, and there are plenty of opportunities to sign autographs." The young man who first recognized Zhou Tiancheng just now said something, and the other people thought it was the reason, and immediately recovered Work hard.

But they didn't expect that Zhou Tiancheng put down his bag, walked directly onto the track next to the stadium and started jogging to warm up.

"I'll go, isn't it? Let's start practicing right away?"

The eyes of several people were attracted to them again, Zhou Tiancheng's dedication was enough to shock them.

No wonder they can gain a foothold in the Bundesliga!

At the same time, they were very curious as to whether Zhou Tiancheng's training alone had anything special to watch as a Bundesliga player.He can often perform astonishingly in games, but this kind of opportunity to watch training in private is rare.They all focused on two things, and secretly took a look at Zhou Tiancheng, wanting to see how he practiced.

But now they are destined to not see any dry goods, because there is no ball, Zhou Tiancheng can only do some simple warm-up exercises, this kind of warm-up is worthless from the perspective of viewing.

Zhou Tiancheng warmed up and ran for about half an hour. From a distance, he saw a group of people approaching, wearing suits. The corner of Zhou Tiancheng's mouth curled up. This should be the players and coaching staff of the national team, right?
From the gate to the dormitory area of ​​the base, one must pass through the training field. Zhou Tiancheng on the track and field naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"Director Gao, who do you think that is?" Assistant coach Liu Chunming pointed in Zhou Tiancheng's direction.

Gao Hongbo, who looks elegant and looks like a handsome local scholar, glanced at him, and then smiled: "The focus person came so early, hehe, and he took the initiative to practice. Interesting, let's go, let's go."

Liu Chunming and a group of coaching staff quickly followed behind.They all guessed that it might be Zhou Tiancheng. His height and body shape are so recognizable that anyone who has watched him compete and sees him in a specific environment has a high probability of being recognized immediately.

"Zhou Tiancheng!" Gao Hongbo greeted him a few steps away.

Zhou Tiancheng turned his head and saw a group of people walking towards him. Gao Hongbo who was walking in the front smiled at him and ran up quickly, but he was not sure if it was the head coach, so he just reached out to shake it without saying hello .

"I'm Gao Hongbo. We talked on the phone before. I didn't expect you to come so early."

Only then did Zhou Tiancheng say hello: "Hello, Director Gao."

After all, Zhou Tiancheng used to be a fan, so he still knows the domestic habit of these titles.

Gao Hongbo saw Zhou Tiancheng running by himself just now, and immediately had a good impression of him, so he asked with concern: "You came here just after getting off the plane, has the jet lag reversed? I think your face is not very good, how about Let's take a break first, no one else has arrived, so don't work so hard, the media will say I'm oppressing you when they know."

"Ha, it's okay, warming up feels much better. I just want to adjust my state in advance before everyone comes, so as not to lose track of the rhythm when practicing with everyone."

Immediately, Liu Dianqiu, the national team leader next to Gao Hongbo, looked at each other with a smile, and said, "You are being modest. If even you can't keep up with the rhythm, it can only mean that my training arrangements have failed."

At this time, Zhou Tiancheng had almost finished his warm-up, said hello to the coaching staff, and then went to the base cafeteria to have breakfast.He was not used to breakfast on a red-eye flight.

After Zhou Tiancheng left, Liu Dianqiu, the team leader next to him, asked: "Xiao Gao, it seems that your opinion is right. Zhou Tiancheng doesn't seem to be someone who is impetuous after becoming famous at a young age. He has a good heart. I feel that this Asian Cup preliminaries The confidence of the game has increased by [-] to [-] percent."

Gao Hongbo listened very carefully, and from Liu Dianqiu's "Little Gao" it could be seen that his status was definitely not low.

Gao Hongbo nodded and smiled: "A player like this has a bit of personality, and even has a normal temper, but it's really rare to see someone like Zhou Tiancheng. However, Team Leader Liu, to correct you, after seeing him, I think the Asian Cup Qualifiers, we can aim a little higher."

"What about your expectations?"

Gao Hongbo smiled mysteriously: "Do you think it is possible to win all the matches?"
