Chapter 011: The generals are not in harmony

Tang Zheng's joining ceremony at the Bernabeu Stadium became the focus of the European mainstream media and the world football media on the second day, in addition to his championship speech, and the possession of the ball hit the crossbar five times in a row.

Ronaldinho hit the crossbar four times when he was filming Nike commercials during his time at Barcelona, but so far Ronaldinho has not responded positively to the authenticity of the video, and Tang Zheng's five crossbars were completed in the presence of nearly 80,000 Real Madrid fans and hundreds of reporters.

The headline of Marca newspaper: Beyond the Classics!

"The signing of 100 million euros is full of controversy, but Don conquered the entire Bernabeu in just a few minutes! Dazzled with his foot skills and unparalleled ball sense, he finally knows why Dortmund beat Real Madrid in the 2012-2013 Champions League final! They have Don at their feet, what glory can they not get? I believe that in the 2013-2014 season, Real Madrid's overall strength will be even better, conquering La Liga and the Champions League......

"As" also praised Tang Zheng: "The advent of the era of 100 million euros is the inevitable development of world football! Four years of stable performance, amazing stable performance, no one can ignore his great contribution to a team! Real Madrid's spending of 105 million euros + 20 million euros floating clause is not a failed investment, Tang's performance is completely worth the price! If you have any doubts, please refer to the football performance at last night's joining ceremony!"

Catalan local media newspaper Le Monde Sport is still satirizing Real Madrid's huge investment, with their headline: "Shameless, embarrassing!"

"It's ridiculous! Real Madrid should spend a lot of money to bring in a freestyle football fan, it's so surprising! Or is the world too crazy? Or are Real Madrid people too much money and like to be wronged? Indeed...... Real Madrid is synonymous with the big wrongs! Just like Michael Owen, Royston Drenthe, and Kaka, I think 99% of the investment of more than 100 million euros will be wasted! Don't believe it? We'll wait and see! Real Madrid will be empty of all four major this season, and there will be no return!"

Physical newspapers and online media from China are optimistic about Tang Zheng's joining Real Madrid, and even many online media almost blew Tang Zheng as the third football king after Maradola.

He will not only lead the team to win the long-lost Champions League title at Real Madrid, but also lead the Chinese team to be invincible in the future World Cup qualifiers.

The German media reports are relatively to the point, and the descriptions of the content are completely in line with the rigor of the Germans, and there are no exaggerated descriptions, only approximate predictions.

The local media in Dortmund, or the local media in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, were obviously reluctant to let Tang Zheng go, especially to witness the miracle of Tang Zheng hitting the crossbar five times in a row.

However, a large number of Dortmund fans still accepted the reality, Tang Zheng brought Dortmund a long-awaited Champions League title and the first treble in history, and his departure left a large amount of development funds for the club.

With the transfer of Tang Zheng, the club has announced that the contract renewal of several core players such as Gotze, Reuss, and Lewandowski is imminent, and it is also a lot of relief.

The Bundesliga's requirements for clubs are to pay attention to financial health, and the club peddles Tang Zheng in order to retain the team's foundation and not to decline too quickly in terms of overall strength.

As time passed, even those fans who were unwilling to accept Tang Zheng's departure from the team silently accepted it.

Of course, they are also proud of Tang Zheng joining Real Madrid, after all, Tang Zheng has grown from Borussia Dortmund to a world-class star, and they also have a bright face when they say it.

When major media reports on Tang Zheng's joining Real Madrid were in full swing, Tang Zheng had already taken a direct flight to Shanghai with his parents and Zhao Lina.

Tang Zheng, who arrived in Shanghai, had no time to enjoy his family, so he had to go to the departure hall to wait for his flight to Beijing.

With an away World Cup qualifier against South Korea looming, he has missed the national team's warm-up match against North Korea after dealing with Real Madrid's time at the moment, and now that the game is getting closer, he must race against time to integrate into the team.

※※※

Compared to the Chinese team preparing for the South Korean team, the South Korean team is under more pressure, even if they have a better goal difference.

After the Chinese team played the South Korean team away, they returned to their home stadium to face Qatar, which was basically eliminated, and the South Korean team also needed to face Australia at home.

In the other game played at the same time, Australia was at home against Lebanon, who had already exited early, which means that if South Korea can't beat China at home, then they will have to beat Australia in the final round.

In the World Cup qualifiers for the South Korean team to host the Chinese team, the South Korean media kept building momentum and creating trouble for the Chinese team.

For example, the head coach of the Chinese team, Camacho, seems to be a little dissatisfied with Tang Zheng, who joined Real Madrid, and he believes that Tang Zheng should focus on the national team events, and joining Real Madrid can wait until after the World Cup qualifiers.

In addition, the Chinese team defeated Lebanon 1:0 at home in the last round, Tang Zheng was interviewed by the media and questioned Camacho's meaning, so on the eve of the big war, the South Korean media tried their best to create discord between the Chinese team's generals and coaches.

What about the facts?

Tang Zheng was indeed a little dissatisfied with Camacho's conservatism, suffering from gains and losses.

Of course, as a professional, he knows how to follow his manager's tactical plan, but if the tactics don't fit the game, he will fine-tune himself like the away defeat to Australia and the narrow home win over Lebanon.

There is an old saying in China that a general will not be subject to military orders abroad.

Tang Zheng, who took a flight to Beijing, wore a peaked cap and a mask large enough to cover his entire face, and there are not a few celebrities in the capital Beijing who wear this outfit, so Tang Zheng did not attract the attention of fans.

He walked out of the exit very low-key, avoiding the welcoming fans, and then took a taxi to the Xianghe training base to meet the national team.

When Tang Zheng took off his mask with his suitcase and walked into the Xianghe training base, the taxi driver suddenly realized that the guest he was carrying just now was Tang Zheng, a football superstar who had just joined Real Madrid, and suddenly howled hysterically......

Tang Zheng came to the Xianghe training base for three days in the afternoon, and he did not adjust the jet lag, but directly dragged his suitcase into the locker room.

However, to his surprise, there was no training shirt of his own in the locker.

So, he found Cao Jingwei, director of the logistics management department of the national team.

Now Tang Zheng has just joined Real Madrid and is a world-class superstar, Cao Jingwei did not dare to slack off, and did not think about why there was no Tang Zheng's training shirt in the locker, but went to the logistics team to get Tang Zheng a set of training shirts.

In order to thank Minister Cao for his personal efforts, Tang Zheng signed his name and wrote a few words of encouragement to his son.

As for the lack of training shirts in the locker room, if even the logistics minister doesn't know the reason, it is nothing more than the Chinese coaching staff or the Spanish coaching staff playing tricks behind their backs.

It is impossible for Fu Bo, the head of the Chinese coaching staff, to target Tang Zheng, so the only possibilities left are the Spanish coaching staff.

Considering that on the eve of the big war, he challenged South Korea away, and Tang Zheng planned to take a break for the time being.

As long as it's not excessive, just endure it.

After all, in the face of national glory, personal and private matters can be put to rest.

Tang Zheng, who had changed his training shirt, jogged all the way to the national team training ground, and the national football players at the training ground happened to be resting, and they stood up when they saw Tang Zheng from a distance.

National team players like Wu Sanshi, Zhang Linpeng, Hao Junmin, and Wu Xi even greeted them directly, and Tang Ge or Brother Zheng flew up, and even stood on tiptoe and hugged Tang Zheng's neck and said that they would take a group photo together after training, and then post it on Moments or Weibo to show off.

No one noticed that the Spanish coaching staff, led by head coach Camacho, had an extremely ugly face.

Although Camacho was very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng, who had disrespected the head coach at the beginning, many times formalism still has to be done.

On behalf of the Spanish coaching staff, he welcomed Tang Zheng's return and expressed great pride in joining Real Madrid at a sky-high price.

After a break of about half an hour, the second Tang training session was prepared in the afternoon, Camacho communicated directly with Tang Zheng in Spanish: "The team as a whole has been running in for more than half a month, the tactical play has taken shape, you participated in the Champions League final and the German Cup final, and went to Madrid to participate in the Real Madrid joining ceremony, and now you have just returned to the national team, so the coaching staff unanimously decided to let you be on the bench first." ”

After that, he added, "Is there a problem?"

Tang Zheng was slightly stunned, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he tapped his chin: "No problem." ”

In the evening of the same day, the Chinese Football Association held a press conference at the New Century Hotel, which was attended by the national team spokesperson, head coach Camacho and Tang Zheng.

Because Tang Zheng was crowned the triple crown champion and just transferred to Real Madrid for 105 million euros, he is the focus of major media, so there are many reporters who come to the New Century Hotel to participate in the press conference of the Chinese Football Association, and there are even a large number of fans waiting outside the New Century Hotel, hoping to see the new Champions League champion Tang Zheng.

In fact, the reason why the Football Association held a news play is very simple, that is, it hopes to use Tang Zheng's popularity to build momentum.

With all three teams on 11 points, anything is possible.

With football superstar Tang Zheng pressing the lineup, it will bring some extra combat effectiveness to the national team.

Not to mention the improvement of the overall strength, the fanaticism of the fans will inevitably increase.

The spokesperson briefly stated the reason for holding the press conference, and then handed over the time to the visiting Chinese and foreign media.

Head coach Camacho has been largely ignored, with almost all reporters focusing on China's No. 1 star Tang Zheng, who has just set a new transfer fee in world football.

It wasn't until near the end of the press conference that reporters remembered that Camacho was still sitting next to Tang Zheng.

More than ten minutes have passed, and now he remembers his existence, Camacho is very dissatisfied, and he is very uncooperative in the face of media interviews through translation.

In fact, Camacho did not cooperate for a reason, and the reporter should have asked the head coach about the team's goals, but now the reporter only has Tang Zheng in his eyes, and he thinks that Tang Zheng has the intention of disrespecting himself, so he chose not to cooperate in the face of reporters' questions.

A lot of times, the lack of communication is really deadly.

※※※

The next day, at the Xianghe training base, Tang Zheng, who started training, was not arranged by the coaching staff to enter the team's group competition, but was sent by Camacho to physical fitness coach Gaspar, with the beautiful name: Recovering physical fitness is conducive to the national team's away challenge to the South Korean team in three days.

The reason is impeccable, and Tang Zheng didn't argue about anything.

In the national team, doing your best is the first thing.

Camacho sent Tang Zheng to the physical trainer Gaspar, and the players were not stupid and immediately noticed.

Obviously, this is head coach Camacho who wants to suppress Tang Zheng.

The players who were not very familiar with Tang Zheng had some meaning that they had nothing to do with themselves, and shook their heads, but several teammates of the national team who were close to him did not worry about him.

As the number one star in China and even the whole of Asia, he has his own status in world football, Camacho suppressed Tang Zheng?

Could it be that he has not figured out the situation after more than a year in China?

Don't you remember that Tang Zheng's return to the national team was because the national leader pressured the Football Association?

Suppressing Tang Zheng, don't you want to mix in China, right?

After resting, Hao Junmin pulled Tang Zheng and said, "I feel that Old Man Ka is suppressing you." ”

"Suppress me?" Tang Zheng glanced at Camacho, who had a heavy face, and said with a smile: "Just him?"

Zhang Linpeng, who came to Tang Zheng's left, suddenly suggested: "Why don't you ...... We're in the game...... Huh?"

"Don't. Tang Zheng understood what Zhang Linpeng wanted to express, but he directly refused: "We must be worthy of the national emblem on our chests, and we must focus on the glory of the national team in everything, he wants to suppress me, but I don't have the ability to do so." ”

After that, Tang Zheng patted Zhang Linpeng's shoulder again and said comfortingly: "I know you are thinking about me, but you really don't have to worry, I know it." ”

Zhang Linpeng, who almost thought that his hot face was attached to his cold buttocks, was in a much better mood in an instant: "Brother Zheng, I know." ”

Now the national team's international players who have achieved staying abroad are basically players signed by Tang Zheng and his agent Rodrigo's agency, so from another point of view, Tang Zheng has a lot of energy within the national team.

In addition, because of his success abroad, Tang Zheng has appeared on CCTV's golden seven o'clock news broadcast in the evening many times, and the news of his record-breaking transfer to Real Madrid has consumed nearly 30 seconds to introduce Tang Zheng.

It can be seen that the country consciously takes care of Tang Zheng, otherwise the Chinese coaching staff and the Football Association would not take such care of Tang Zheng and ask for warmth.

It is simple to solve Camacho from the inside, but Tang Zheng has to make Camacho submit from the competitive level.

After all, the current Tang Zheng is no longer the hairy guy he was back then, and now he is the record holder of the transfer fee in world football, a well-known star, and has his own dignity.

If there is a need for communication, it must be Camacho who has to offer it.

The penultimate round of the World Cup qualifiers for the Chinese team to challenge the South Korean team kicked off at 7 o'clock in the evening of Beijing time on June 12, so all the players of the Chinese team took a flight to Seoul, South Korea on the afternoon of the 10th.

At Seoul International Airport, in addition to a large number of Chinese fans and journalists, many Korean fans are welcome.

As Asia's undisputed number one star, Tang Zheng's joining ceremony at the Bernabeu Stadium shocked the world, he is handsome and handsome, and his ability to attract fans is quite good, so the Chinese team is equal to half of the home game in South Korea.
