Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 793

Petkovic had no choice but to swallow four bullets at the Juventus Arena in depression. After the loss, he was irrefutable. He could not scold the players but himself, and took all the responsibility on himself.

Tevez, who scored two goals, can be said to be proud of his horseshoe disease. Counting the Super Cup, he has scored four goals for Juventus. The efficiency cannot be compared with that of Zhang Yuan last season, but it is quite good.

Juventus executives are also quite satisfied with the work of Marotta and Paratici. You must know that Tevez only spent 900 million euros, while Zhang Yuan spent 6000 million euros. Compared with the two, buying Tevez is absolutely It's a good deal.

But no matter how good you Tevez is, you can't cover Zhang Yuan's light. Zhang Yuan will always be the first topic in the media. Tevez performed well in this game, but the media still spend a lot of pen and ink on Zhang Yuan. In this game, Zhang Yuan's competitive state is also getting better and better, and he also performed well in the center position that is not often played.

After finishing this game, Zhang Yuan returned to participate in the competition again. In the Asian Cup qualifiers, he was actually a little tired of such a long-distance travel. He didn’t particularly care about the Asian Cup, he cared more about the performance of the World Cup, but There is no way, professional players are like this, and it is always inevitable to travel long distances.

This time the Chinese team will have two qualifiers in September. One is an away game against Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is also considered an old strong team in Asia. It often appears on the stage of the World Cup. Its strength should not be underestimated. The home game against Iraq is another difficult one. Last year, Iraq also caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese team in the top 9 match.

After Zhang Yuan returned to China, he was asked by the leaders of the Football Association to talk to him. Zhang Yuan was very surprised. It’s not that he was not asked to talk to him, but the prerequisite was that he made a mistake. matter.

Entering the reception room, Zhang Yuan felt a bit like a tribunal, with leaders, team leaders, and supervisors all present.

"Relax, Xiao Zhang!" Director Fu said with a smile, he could see that Zhang Yuan was a little nervous.

What Zhang Yuan dislikes the most is dealing with officials, it's not easy to deal with, everyone looks serious and boring, but now he has to smile back to deal with the guidance.

"Leader, what do you want me for?" Zhang Yuan stopped his mind and asked directly, he wanted to make it clear in a few words so that he could leave.

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you, you sit down first!" The leader said kindly, and casually handed Zhang Yuan a glass of water.

Zhang Yuan didn't sit down until they were all seated, and the leader didn't beat around the bush, and started talking straightforwardly.

"Xiao Zhang, it's like this, Captain Zheng is not young anymore! Our team is in a period of change, and the team needs a new captain to lead us to move forward. Let's sum it up and plan to let you be the captain of the team." ,what do you think?!"

Zhang Yuan was a little dazed immediately. He had clearly rejected Captain Zheng's proposal last time. When Captain Zheng was drinking too much and talking nonsense, now it seems that Captain Zheng should have conveyed his opinion to the team leaders.

Things were a bit sudden, and Zhang Yuan didn't come to his senses.

The leader thought that he had concerns, so he continued: "Xiao Zhang, our national team has ushered in new opportunities for development. The team needs innovation, and young people like you are needed to take on great responsibilities. The position of captain of the national team is very special. , since we all have the courage to use young people like you, don't think twice! The captaincy is both an honor and a responsibility. We have confidence in you, and fans all over the country have confidence in you. We believe that you can achieve success. Complete the mission assigned to you by the organization!"

The more Zhang Yuan listens, the more he feels that this is like making himself resistant to explosives. In fact, it is not the case. In the Chinese team, the captain of the national team is a very good shield. As long as you are active on the court, basically you will not encounter Public opinion storm.

The history of the national team has not been scolded really bloody captain.

It seemed that Captain Zheng was serious and resigned voluntarily, which surprised Zhang Yuan a little. Of course, what was even more surprising was how the leader changed his character, allowing a young man like him to be the captain.

In fact, this is due to the credit of the director Fu and the team leader. They all agreed that age is really not a problem for Zhang Yuan. His prestige is getting higher and higher in the eyes of the national team players. Coupled with the full support of Captain Zheng, the most important thing It is his impeccable leadership role in the team's campaign, which is enough to convince the crowd.

Of course, Zhang Yuan didn’t know that it was the leader who also asked for a conversation. He consulted some veteran players in the team, and they expressed their support for Captain Zheng’s resignation and Zhang Yuan’s coming to the stage.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan came to his senses and didn’t think too much about it. Since Captain Zheng tried his best to let him succeed, Zhang Yuan didn’t refuse. He stood up and said to the leaders: “Since the leader trusts me, then I won’t refuse any more. , I assure all the leaders that I will be the captain well!"

Zhang Yuan did not refuse, everyone was happy, and everyone happily ended the conversation.

On the same day, the news that Zhang Yuan became the new captain of the national team after Captain Zheng spread like wildfire in the national team training base. The players who participated in this training game expressed their congratulations to Zhang Yuan. guest.

Zhang Yuan didn't refuse either, this is what should be done, the new captain has to celebrate when he takes the stage, but Zhang Yuan didn't forget Captain Zheng's contribution, and Captain Zheng didn't make any mistakes, it wasn't because he voluntarily backed down, how could Zhang Yuan What's the matter, so Zhang Yuan said that after the busy period, he would hold a summary banquet for Captain Zheng to commend Captain Zheng's "great achievements". It's not surprising that he is the current captain and can say whatever he wants.

But this meal is terrible. Now the team can't go out. It must be impossible during the national team's training and competition. We can only wait until the national team is disbanded this time.

At the press conference before the game against the Saudi team, the national team announced the big news in time, and Zhang Yuan officially became the captain of the national team. In the past, such news was known internally and broadcasted by the media. But this time The national team is uncharacteristically, high-profile announcement.

The reason is, of course, that Zhang Yuan is an incredible star, and China is the only one. The high-profile announcement is also a boost to the team and boosts the morale of the fans. You must know that Zhang Yuan's captaincy of the national team is definitely in line with the aspirations of many fans.

The focus of the press conference is no longer the Saudi team's game, but Zhang Yuan, the newly released captain of the Chinese national team. He is too young and too famous. Mr. Silverball, nine times out of ten next year will be Mr. Goldenball.

"Zhang Yuan, can you tell us about your mood at this moment?"

"I am very honored and proud! It is a great honor to be the captain of the national team. I thank the fans, my teammates, and the leaders for their trust in me! The captain of the national team is a special position, and I am very proud that I can get it Such an opportunity!"

There were disharmonious questions amidst the admiration and praise. For example, a reporter asked: "You have been playing football abroad, and you have not been selected for the national team for a long time. Sometimes you are absent from the national team. Important events, do you have the ability and experience to manage the locker room well?!"

This is nitpicking. What’s wrong with playing football abroad? Is it because the teammates of the national team are all at home that they can’t take on the role? You must know that Captain Zheng also played abroad before!
As for the fact that he has not been selected for the national team for a long time, it is even more nonsense. Zhang Yuan has been selected for the national team for several years, and the team is considered half old now. !
In addition, the reporter did not say clearly, but the absence of an important national team event, this blame cannot be blamed on Zhang Yuan. This summer the national team broke through the World Cup qualifiers, and then the national team participated in another event, that is, the East Asian Cup.

At that time, Zhang Yuan did not participate in the East Asian Cup. The East Asian Cup was held in July. At that time, Juventus had already started pre-season training. Needless to say, how important pre-season training is. Many players have participated in the Confederations Cup, and Conte does not want anyone to miss pre-season training.

This competition itself is not held on the national team match day. The national team has no right to recruit players who play overseas. Zhang Yuan is one of them. Juventus will not let him go, and the national team can only not recruit. There is no way. things.
