Grass roots glory

Chapter 942

Deep down, Van Gaal was definitely unwilling to let any player go.

The World Cup has just ended. There are no official international competitions on this international match day. They are all warm-up matches without pain or itching. Because the two warm-up matches made his players exhausted, Van Gaal was particularly unhappy.

He didn't show up in front of the media.Because the friendly match on the international match day uniformly arranged by FIFA is an A-level event recognized by FIFA, according to regulations, any club coach has no right to refuse.

But this unhappiness concentrated on Zhou Tiancheng.

原因来自中国足协的征调令——明明白白地写着“为了备战2015年澳大利亚亚洲杯”，范加尔再一查亚洲杯的举办时间，2015年1月9日开幕，一直要踢到1月31日结束。

At that time, the team should be the most important time. The League Cup has already been eliminated, and the remaining league and FA Cup will not allow Manchester United to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking that Zhou Tiancheng might be absent from the national team match at that time... maybe a whole month, Van Gaal doesn't want to let him go now, so he approached Zhou Tiancheng alone for this matter.

"Zhou, I now understand very well that you are very important to us, and you should have this understanding yourself. Is a friendly match like this important to the Chinese team? You just won No.4 in the World Cup. I don't think it would be possible without you They'll play really well too, right?"

Zhou Tiancheng was a little dazed. He didn't expect Van Gaal to actually stop him. Although Klopp was annoyed at the beginning, he was just joking with himself at most.

"Sir, Marcelo Lippi has just called me personally... Everyone else is ready to go, it's an official international break and if the club can say no, of course I can obey."

Van Gaal was even more unhappy, and there was no need to say more, even if he still wanted Zhou Tiancheng to refuse, but it seemed impossible now.

Deep down in his heart, he wanted to remind Zhou Tiancheng to protect himself, but the words came out of his mouth in a different way: "Well, Zhou, I won't stop you. But if I find you Coming back and not being up to par, you know, other players are waiting for their chance."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled secretly in his heart, he understood what Van Gaal meant, this was to spur himself, maybe the intention was good, but this dog can't spit out ivory...it's really speechless.

In this respect, Zhou Tiancheng compared his previous head coach, Klopp, to him, and he was considered a man with both toughness and softness.

……

The latest phase of the national team's preparations, the short-term goal of the Chinese team is the Asian Cup in Australia early next year.At the same time, it is also an important step in preparing for the World Cup qualifiers. From now on, we will plan for the World Cup in Russia four years later.

The national team's roster has undergone a preliminary change. Zhou Tiancheng was the last to rush to the Guangzhou national team training base. The biggest change is that he did not see the big brother Zheng Zhi.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled, it seemed that Zheng Zhi had really retired from the national team.

In Europe, this is quite normal.Elite professional players often retire from the national team much earlier than they actually hang up their boots.Without the high-intensity competition of the national team, the continuation of the career can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Although Zhou Tiancheng has never played in a domestic club, he knows that there is no such thing as retiring from the national team in domestic football.

As long as you don't really retire, the national team's call-up order will be found.

The 34-year-old *** still participated in the 2004 Asian Cup as the main striker, while the 31-year-old German captain Ram announced his withdrawal from the national team last month.

Constantly extracting the value of veterans is also a sign that there are no good players available in a period of time.Zheng Zhi has set a precedent in domestic football.But Zhou Tiancheng still found it incredible.

With Zheng Zhi's ability and experience, Zhenger Bajing will play as the main force of the national team for another two years.Really retreat like this?
What's more interesting is that he saw Zheng Zhi in a casual suit next to Lippi.

"Da Chengzi, you're all here when you come back, it's hard work."

"Hey, Brother Zhi, it's time to congratulate. From now on, this is a different position to lead us? From now on, we must be called Director Zheng!"

Zheng Zhi patted Zhou Tiancheng: "Don't run on me, even the old man has to rely on you, tell me this, bully me, a rookie, right?"

"Where is it? Don't you have to be like this in the future? Brother Zhi, you haven't completely retired yet, right? It's good, this is the beginning of the second half of life in advance."

Zhou Tiancheng joked a few words, and then found a few brothers who were studying abroad together in the training ground.

The training hadn't officially started yet, but a few people gathered together for additional practice. Zhou Tiancheng watched with great interest. It looked like Jiang Hao and Wu Sanshi were competing for the goal target.

Without defense, the two volleyed each other at the front of the penalty area to see who broke Mingtao's goal more times.

Zhou Tiancheng watched for a while, Jiang Hao and Wu Sanshi hit four times each, but he still shook his head slightly.Ming Tao did not make an effective save, Zhou Tiancheng felt that this was new.

Anyway, Paris Saint-Germain now looks like it is going to build a top European giant. The success rate of this save is too touching, right?
Zhou Tiancheng looked at it for a while, then rushed to the field, and when they saw him, everyone gathered around him.

"Come on, Brother Cheng."

"Hey, come to watch the big god, hey, tell us about the Premier League?"

"Brother Cheng, I heard about it in Milan. Does that idiot Van Gaal not want to see you? Hehe, he's a good fruit to eat!"

Zhou Tiancheng stood in the middle and gave everyone a high five. He hadn't met this group of brothers for a long time. The first thing he noticed was Jiang Hao's obviously thicker arms.

"Haozi, not bad, it seems that he has worked hard in Milan."

Jiang Hao was a little proud: "That's right, Brother Cheng, you can't be the only one doing well, I'm also Milan's thigh now."

"But your big arms are exaggerated, you practice hard!"

"That's right, practicing hard."

"Oh, is it football or...ahem...It's very famous in Italy anyway."

Jiang Hao watched his brothers hold back their smiles and stared at him curiously.Hehe smiled: "I said it's all good, can you believe it?"

Zhou Tiancheng gave a thumbs up: "It's amazing, I can't compare to this."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tiancheng turned his head and looked at Ming Tao on the left: "Xiao Tao, you can't do it in Paris, right? Paris is the capital of romance, but don't be too aggressive. Just now I saw that you didn't pounce on any of them." , brother, are you okay?"

Ming Tao was a little upset: "Brother Cheng, I have to look for my status. I have been playing second goalkeeper for the past few months and serving as a substitute. The status is not so good."

Zhou Tiancheng grinned: "If you don't listen to my brother, you will suffer in front of your eyes. You deserve it for not listening to me!"

PS: The author is here to make the decision without authorization, and asked Brother Zhi to switch roles.Up to now, I can still clearly remember Zhige’s performance after losing to Iran in the Asian Cup. It’s too sad. Let’s not come here. That’s it, it feels good...
