Although the break period came, there were a large number of players in the Longteng team who could not get a good rest, and these players were mainly international players in the team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The day after the game, Zhou Hai, the only player of the national team of the Longteng team, left the team and began the national team training camp from June 2 to June 16. In the original announcement, his reporting date was June 5, a little later than other internationals.

On the second day of Zhou Hai's departure, the Chinese Football Association released the final list of the World Youth Championships, including 9 players from the Longteng team, they are: Deng Chaoqun, Qin Minghao, Xu Mingyu, Liu Xing, Lin Feng, Gao Jun, Shu Jun, Wang Peng, Li Yun. In other words, these players will make up the vast majority of the squad for the national youth team this time.

After the announcement, the Longteng team immediately received great attention, and it is shocking that a first-class team can contribute one national team international player and nine international players to the national youth team.

However, Zhang Sheng is a little worried about Zhou Hai, after all, he has to participate in the famous ugly drama match in his previous life - the Chinese national team lost 1:5 at home to the Thai U23 youth team. For that game, after the game, countless people analyzed the reasons for the loss of this game, and Zhang Sheng actually had his own opinions.

First of all, from the side of the Football Association. They did a very stupid thing, that is, when the leadership of the Football Association decided to hire Camacho, they had already announced that they would abandon the 2014 World Cup ahead of schedule, and how many international players' World Cup dreams have been shattered. That's why some internationals lamented: Our World Cup dream has been ruined. If we are 27 or 8 years old and can't fight hard for the World Cup, will we have a chance in the future? At this time, it is completely untenable to criticize the players with national honors. The Football Association has given up on the World Cup in advance and the dream of a generation of international players, so how can the international players still be enthusiastic?

Secondly, from the club's point of view, Evergrande, Luneng, and Guoan were all in the middle of the league to win points, and they may not want their players to play desperately during the league break.

Let's start with head coach Camacho, whose tactics have been repeatedly criticized since taking charge of the national team. What exactly is Camacho's tactic? Simply put, the long pass is to find two points. Camacho asked to keep the ball in front of the pitch as much as possible, so that the danger to the goal was minimal. So the scene of the national football game is basically that the back line hits the ball to the front, the midfielders compete for the first point, and after the first point of competition fails, they go for the second point. After getting the second point, the ball is distributed by the front or back midfielder. As for positional attack, it's basically where football goes. In Camacho's international game, you never see a clear full-back routine. Scoring goals is basically a one-man effort. After he loses, he will always have only one attitude, Chinese players are not good, Chinese football is different from the whole world. When Camacho has shirked his responsibilities countless times in press conferences and private interviews, Camacho has lost the trust of the players.

Finally, the players on the field, the national football team has traveled to 3 cities for 10 consecutive days and the density of 3 games is too dense, and most of the players have been exhausted in the league and AFC Champions League; Camacho has not formed a benign interaction with the team in the two years since he took office, and he has not been fully trusted, nor has effective communication; in particular, this "famous coach" has become increasingly serious with the Chinese Football Association, and the communication between the two sides is not smooth, and the management is weak. This makes the players completely unmotivated by this kind of dispensable game, let alone play well. That's why it's been rumored that the players are going to get rid of Camacho.

When Zhou Hai went to the national team, Zhang Sheng didn't say it clearly, but he still said to Zhou Hai very vaguely: "When you go to the national team to play, no matter what the situation on the field is, as long as you are on the field, you must give up 100% of your efforts, even if your teammates give up on you, you must not give up, you must remember the game philosophy of our Longteng team, that is, don't give up if you have a chance." ”

In Zhang Sheng's view, if the physical fitness can't keep up, the game can't be played, it's a matter of ability, and if the game is not invested, it's a matter of professional ethics and even character.

Soon after sending Zhou Hai away, Zhang Sheng began to send the young players in the team to participate in the national youth team report, this time Zhang Sheng talked more about the dedication to the country and the sense of honor of the players: "You will soon go to the World Youth Championships. Before I go, I want to say that the whole country you represent on the field, if you play well, the first thing that others think of is that the Chinese team plays well, if you play badly, the first thing that others criticize is the national team, you must remember that the team emblem on your chest is far more important than the name behind it. ”

Before the players went to report to the national youth team, Zhang Sheng did a very important thing, that is, he signed the first professional player contract in his life with Xu Mingyu, who had just turned 18. This also means that Xu Mingyu will be able to represent the Longteng team in the official competition in the second half of the season.

After these players left, when the other players of the Longteng team were on vacation, Zhang Sheng also got a rare vacation time. But this holiday time period is not easy at all, because Ye Ting's due date is still a month away.

For this matter, the Zhang family and the Ye family are considered to be the whole family. As early as more than a month before the due date, Zhang's mother booked a VIP bed in the best obstetrics department in Jiangcheng - the obstetrics and gynecology department of Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Mother Ye had already chosen a gold medal confinement sister-in-law to be on standby at any time.

Zhang Sheng suddenly found that he couldn't interfere in anything, whenever he wanted to help do something, Zhang's mother and Ye's mother would appear as soon as possible, and reprimanded: "You are a big man, what do you know, we are from here, we are here." ”

Facing the care of the two mothers, seeing her husband deflated, Ye Ting also pursed her lips and snickered.

Zhang Sheng's vacation time was spent in his mother's nagging and his wife's teasing.

Soon it was June 15, which was also the day of the match between the Chinese national team and the Thai U23 youth team. At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Sheng turned on the TV nervously, the game was broadcast by the CCTV Sports Channel, and the venue of the game was Hefei Sports Center. Zhang Sheng is very optimistic about the Chinese team itself, he only cares about Zhou Hai's performance.

In this game, the starting left back was Zheng Zhen, and the left central defender was Zhao Peng. Zhou Hai sat on the bench. At the beginning, when the camera swept over the bench, Zhang Sheng saw that Zhou Hai's expression was very serious, which was obviously a sign of his nervousness. Because of the previous two warm-up games, Zhou Hai did not enter the squad, and he was watching the Chinese team's game as a spectator.

Sure enough, the Chinese team's performance was as it has been in history, in the 16th minute of the first half, the Chinese team was scored by the opponent, and in the 23rd minute, China's left side was blown up, and the opponent easily crossed and conceded another goal. The Chinese team did not rely on Sun Ke's hard work until the 30th minute to win a penalty.

Shortly after the start of the second half, the Chinese team conceded another goal, and the score became 1:3. Seeing Zhou Hai on the field, Zhang Sheng's heart immediately rose, and he hoped that Zhou Hai could be positive.

Sure enough, Zhou Hai did a very positive job in defense after playing, and the long-term game in the Longteng team made him accustomed to defending in the backfield, and his passing ability was very good. In the face of the counterattack of the Thai team, it is often seen that the situation is that two or three people in the back court face more than three counterattacks of the opponent, while the other players do not chase back at all, but watch the play in the back.

In the 61st minute, the Thai team scored another goal, and the score became 1:4.Zhou Hai looked at his teammates walking on the field a little dazedly, a little overwhelmed, in the nearly 3 years of Longteng team's game, whether it was an official game, a warm-up game, or even an intra-team confrontation, Zhou Hai had never seen a player who played so negatively.

And the only two on the field who fought like him were Sun Ke, who made a penalty in the first half.

In the 88th minute of the second half, the Thai team played a counterattack again. When the opponent three rushed forward, the Chinese team only had two people to chase back, this is Zhou Hai and Sun Ke, although Sun Ke rescued the opponent's attack on the goal line, Zhou Hai once again blocked the opponent's supplementary shot with his body, and another offensive player of the Thai team still scored in the middle.

This also made Hao Haidong, a Chinese celebrity who has always been known as Hao Cannon in China, talk in a later game commentary: "Losing Thailand 1-5 to win the game, I saw that many players stopped running, but only Sun Ke and Zhou Hai have been playing seriously from beginning to end." As long as the two of them have a little bit of ability, even if they can't play well, they are all good people. In fact, there was no chance at all. ”

After the game, Zhang Sheng called Zhou Hai as soon as possible, and Zhang Sheng comforted him on the phone: "Zhou Hai, although the score of this game is very bad, I don't mean to criticize you at all, I didn't call to comfort you, I wanted to praise you." ”

Zhou Hai, who was listening to the phone, also nodded silently: "Thank you, coach." ”

Zhang Sheng continued: "Don't thank me. It was I who wanted to thank you for showing them the spirit of our Longteng team in front of the fans across the country, and I think everyone's impression of you is very positive and positive. ”

Sure enough, on the evening of the same day, the media began to criticize the Chinese national team, and all kinds of negative reports emerged one after another. From the Football Association and coaches, to the clubs and players, they were sprayed with blood. Only two people were not scolded - Zhou Hai and Sun Ke. In the face of these two desperate players, no one could bear to blame them. (To be continued.) )
