Grass roots glory

Chapter 664 Newcomer Wu Sanshi

During the June world preliminaries window, the ninth round of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup between the Chinese team and the South Korean team will be held on June [-]. In order to make adaptive preparations in advance, the Chinese team has entered the intermission period since the Chinese Super League in early June. Concentrating on preparing for the battle, Lippi chose Dalian, a coastal city in the northeast, as the training location.It is relatively close to South Korea and has a similar latitude, which is very suitable for the Chinese team to adapt to the climate of Seoul in advance.

For Jiang Hao, this is going home.So Zhou Tiancheng joked with him in private: "Haozi, have you noticed? There are obviously more reporters outside than before. This is your appeal. You have returned to your hometown with honor. Do you want to look for it? Can find an old acquaintance!"

Jiang Hao couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Brother Cheng, did it on purpose? I can't stand it if you say that, our relationship... Let me tell you straight, even if you want to flatter me, it's useless!"

When a few people were warming up for short pass training, they chatted casually. At this time, Chen Pengfei hurriedly stood by and reminded: "Haozi, Brother Cheng, Mr. Pi is watching you, pay attention." .”

The two stopped talking immediately and became serious.

Although they are the most eye-catching overseas players of the national team, and Zhou Tiancheng is still the face and pillar of the national team, Lippi does not make any discounts on his requirements. When he did not ask everyone to relax, even Zhou Tiancheng He behaved a little more casually, and was also pulled aside by Lippi to "communicate" alone during the training interval-it might be more appropriate to say that it was a warning or a warning.

"Zhou, just finished the Champions League final, I know you must be very tired."

Lippi looked at him like this after finishing speaking, of course Zhou Tiancheng could only shake his head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I've rested for a few days, it's much better. As long as it's called up by the national team, I'm obliged to do so."

Lippi patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, if you really can't stand it physically, you can communicate with me. You have the right to refuse to be recruited, but since you have come to the team... Zhou, you have also seen that, except for a few of you Plus, there are a lot of young guys on the team who look up to you as an idol and you should make a difference."

Lippi pointed in one direction: "I admit that you are really capable, and this kind of training is not difficult for you, but when young people are fully committed, I don't want you to be too slack."

Zhou Tiancheng looked in the direction of his fingers. A short young player was on the training field next to him. After receiving a pass from Zheng Zhi, he stopped the ball with his chest. Then he stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area. The right foot shot directly at the far post, and even Ming Tao couldn't make a save.

After completing this shot, the young man turned around and gave Zheng Zhi a thumbs up very actively.

Zhou Tiancheng was surprised by this scene, and secretly made an evaluation in his heart: extroverted, confident and cheerful.

This kind of character is rare among local Chinese players.His time in the national team is not short. He has experienced two head coaches, and he is considered a veteran. He has come in and out and seen many players who have just entered the national team.He had never seen such confidence before.

Seeing him staring at the back, Lippi immediately laughed: "Okay, Zhou, I just want to remind you, I believe you don't need me to say more, and I dare not say more, haha! After all, I still It's up to you to guide the newcomers...Here, that young man, please give him more advice, I think you two should be in harmony, although it is difficult to achieve the kind of tacit understanding between you and Jiang."

Zhou Tiancheng agreed.He has no choice but to meet the requirements of the head coach, and he is indeed very interested in this young man.

When the team was arranging tactical training, the young man walked up to him and made a request that made him laugh: "Brother Cheng, you play in Europe, you must be able to play in the Champions League often, and you can play against Messi." ... Well, if you have a chance next time, can you get me an autograph?"

Zhou Tiancheng looked at him and laughed out loud: "Sanshi, do you think it's appropriate to come to me and talk about this? In your eyes, I'm not as good as Messi?"

"No, Brother Cheng, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that. Of course you are better than Messi, but aren't you a midfielder? I'm a striker... My goal is to be a world-class striker, hehe, if I can With a Barcelona number 10 jersey, I think I will be very motivated."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "I can't help you with this job, do you really want it? Then you can play to Barcelona with your own strength!"

"Brother Cheng, this..."

"Why, I feel like I can't do it?" Zhou Tiancheng interrupted him, and then said: "Do you know who is the top scorer in the Champions League this season? Lewandowski has the same number of goals as Messi and Ronaldo Many, but no penalties, of course, more than me. But more than half of them are the cakes I fed! So, Sanshi, don’t be afraid, I can see that you are the top among local players with the awareness of running without the ball , To tell you the truth, your ability is not bad even in Europe! So as long as you eat the cake I fed... Next is the World Preliminaries, and then there will be the Confederations Cup. Strong team, seize the opportunity, if you play well, are you afraid you won’t be able to go to the giants?”

The young man named Sanshi nodded with a vague understanding.

……

When the two began to cooperate consciously during training, the reporters outside observed this scene and discussed it in a low voice.

"I don't know if Sanshi can gain a firm position in the team. It seems that there is no major problem, and he is quite confident."

"It must be no problem! With a master like Zhou Tiancheng, he must be able to fly."

"You guys are overthinking. A shooter who scored eight goals in the [-]th round of the Chinese Super League can't even be a main substitute... The level of the Chinese team is not so high, right?"

……

Zhou Tiancheng found that there are many more reporters in the training of the national team. One is because the upcoming game is of great significance to the Chinese team, and another reason is to follow the new blood of the national team.

The reporters' interest was all focused on this young man—Wu Sanshi, the main striker of the newly promoted Shanghai East Asia in the Chinese Super League.

Just like Zhou Tiancheng's first entry into the national team attracts attention, the media always maintains the greatest interest in the fresh blood of the national team.

Moreover, this young forward is the focus of the first half of the Chinese Super League. He has significantly higher running positions and excellent off-ball awareness than other domestic players.The domestic media regards him as the next most promising Chinese player to enter the top five leagues.

But for the young man under 22, what he needs is a platform.Therefore, in Lippi's national team right now, there is a midfielder like Zhou Tiancheng, and everyone does have reasons to look forward to it.

PS: In view of the outstanding performance of the martial arts king who may have stayed abroad, the author Junling decided to add drama to him!
The name is Wu Sanshi, everyone knows it.
