Grass roots glory

Chapter 349 Teammates' Wishes
Kunming National Training Base, Yunnan, one of the standing training bases for the national team.In order to adapt to the climate of Qatar in winter, the national team conducts the first phase of training here.

After Gao Hongbo completed a day's training with the first batch of registered international players, he stayed in front of the TV in the room at night, watching the focused match between Schalke and Bayern.

Although most of the players on the training list have officially reported for duty, Gao Hongbo only arranged the basic training volume to simply maintain the state to ensure that these players who have just finished the Chinese Super League season maintain their body heat, but he has been pressing the team for tactical training. schedule.The reason is very simple, the ones he has to rely on in his tactics are the returnees who are still on the TV screen, especially Zhou Tiancheng.

When Zhou Tiancheng single-handedly broke through and scored Bayern's goal, Duan Xuan said, "Gao Hongbo should feel more at ease in his heart", Gao Hongbo really had some smiles on his face.

Just at this time, Liu Dianqiu, the team leader of the national team, knocked on the door and walked into Gao Hongbo's room. He had something to ask, but he happened to see Zhou Tiancheng open his arms in celebration after scoring a goal on TV.He also smiled and said, "Xiao Zhou scored again?"

Gao Hongbo replied with a smile: "Yes, he is in very good condition, which is really good news for us."

Liu Dianqiu nodded, then looked at Gao Hongbo and asked, "Xiao Gao, with Xiao Zhou and the others here in this Asian Cup, we should be able to make some big news, right?"

Liu Dianqiu just asked casually, but Gao Hongbo didn't know how to answer.In fact, in front of the national team leader, he has to be cautious about expressing this attitude.In the national team, Liu Dianqiu's role is equivalent to the "imperial envoy" of the Football Association. The senior members of the General Administration system are different from the general team leaders who help the head coach.So when Liu Dianqiu asked this question, Gao Hongbo subconsciously thought that the Football Association was testing his attitude.

Liu Dianqiu looked at him and said with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Gao, don't think too much. Although I have such a status, this question is purely my own curiosity. I just feel that I haven't met such a strong one in many years It's coming, so I'm looking forward to it. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

Gao Hongbo looked away from the TV, thought for a while and said: "It is true that Xiao Zhou and the others are definitely good in Asia, but I think the more this is the case, let's keep a low profile. It was relatively high-profile, but the result... Well, so let’s change our approach this time, the underdogs will win! Anyway, the media knows that our ultimate goal is the World Cup in Brazil, and the Asian Cup can only be regarded as a quiz. The team will benefit in the future.”

Liu Dianqiu heard that Gao Hongbo's thoughts were not small, and he also became interested: "Xiao Gao, tell me where do you think we can go this time? Don't worry, with our current relationship, I guarantee that Lao Liu will only have you I know."

Gao Hongbo thought for a while, and whispered a few words beside Liu Dianqiu, the latter's eyes lit up slightly: "Really?"

"At least this step should be possible." Gao Hongbo said without changing his face, obviously very confident.

While the two were chatting, the game between Schalke and Bayern was over on TV. In the end, Schalke scored three points with Zhou Tiancheng's two goals and continued to chase Dortmund.

……

After the match against Bayern, Magath released Jiang Hao and Hao Junmin to return to the national team. As for Zhou Tiancheng, Magath insisted on finishing the first half of the match before releasing him.The tug-of-war between Schalke and the Chinese Football Association once fell into a stalemate. In the end, Zhou Tiancheng’s own statement on both sides played a key role. He promised that he would actively adjust under the premise of completing the club’s game tasks, and absolutely guaranteed to win with the best results. The full state returned to the national team.

Because Zhou Tiancheng is very popular in the national team.And the national team is more aware of the importance of Zhou Tiancheng, not to mention the results, with him, the Chinese team will definitely have a halo of attention.In the past year, Gao Hongbo has indeed led the national team to improve, but his persuasion is not enough, especially the domestic football has just experienced a two-year anti-gambling and anti-crime storm. All the radishes were pulled out and all the mud was exposed, and the image of the national team fell to the bottom. At this time, Zhou Tiancheng's positive image with almost zero rumors and zero negative news is needed to guide public opinion to refocus on the national team.So the national team really dare not offend him too much now.

But fortunately, since Schalke will also participate in the Club World Cup, their schedule has been officially adjusted and moved forward to a double match a week.Against Mainz and Cologne, Zhou Tiancheng only played half time, and Magath deliberately protected him, and even so, Zhou Tiancheng added another sum to his goal account. Scored fifteen goals in rounds.

Before the Club World Cup, there will be a final match of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Considering that it is irrelevant, Magath allowed Zhou Tiancheng to leave the team in advance.

"Zhou, take care to protect yourself... Actually, I want to tell you not to fight so hard. You must think I'm selfish, but I really don't want you to go back in good health and come back on a stretcher."

When Zhou Tiancheng was packing his luggage in the locker room, his teammates knew where he was going, but they all complained.

"What the fuck is the Asian Cup, it has to be held at this time, hell."

"Zhou, you have to come back early!" Jurado said as he walked behind Zhou Tiancheng.

Zhou Tiancheng turned around and looked at him with a slight frown: "Jose, what's your attitude? I haven't gone yet, so you expect me to lose early, right?"

"No, no, Zhou, you misunderstood, we don't know if you're not here!" Baumjohn said.

"It's not good for you to be the protagonists. Others are eager to take advantage of this opportunity." Zhou Tiancheng thought to himself, you really expect me to play here forever.

"Hehe, I think you can rest assured that Zhou Sang will definitely come back early, but I may not be sure."

When Uchida Atsuto walked past Zhou Tiancheng, he suddenly said something.

He also packed his luggage like Zhou Tiancheng. Not surprisingly, he will also represent the Japanese team in the Asian Cup.

The atmosphere in the locker room became a bit weird. Everyone thought that the two were from two East Asian countries, and they might have to fight directly in the Asian Cup.It's just that I didn't expect to hand it over on the field, and now it's on the bar here.

Although the relationship between the two is not as hostile as it was at the beginning, after a long time of contact, Uchida Atsuto actually obeys Zhou Tiancheng in his heart, but it is the same thing to obey Zhou Tiancheng, it does not mean that he will regard the Chinese team as an opponent , at the national team level, the Japanese team really has the capital to overlook the whole of Asia.

The teammates were just about to speak out to persuade him, Zhou Tiancheng walked over and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "I believe this is your sincere words."

Uchida Atsuto narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You probably won't need my help then."

China and Japan are not in the same group in this Asian Cup. Uchida Atsuto's implication is that the Chinese team will not even have a chance to touch Japan in the knockout round, and they will be out of the group stage.

Of course Zhou Tiancheng understood, and said with a smile: "Then I really have to work hard. Hey, if you get tired of staying in Qatar, you can choose to meet me, and I don't mind giving you a ride. Really, I am He has a good heart and loves to help others!"

PS: Tell me about the plot of the national team.

This book will try to avoid some sensitive and sadistic factors, and focus on the performance related to the game.

After all, the national football team in reality is already bad enough, we can't continue to abuse everyone in the novel, come up with something beautiful, and let's YY together.
