Tang Zheng, who arrived at the hotel under the tower of the Chinese team, realized for the first time the unprofessionalism of the Chinese Football Association, although he did not mean to play a big name, but at least he should arrange the time for the press conference in advance, right?

Otherwise, these media wouldn't be so crazy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition, Tang Zheng was dissatisfied that the Chinese Football Association did not greet the security personnel of the hotel, so that Tang Zheng once again encountered a large number of emotional reporters and fans as soon as he got out of the taxi.

Of course, this is just a trifle, a trivial trifle.

Tang Zheng had just gotten rid of the media and fans, and was taking out the relevant documents to prepare to check in, when the Chinese men's football team stopped at the door of the hotel in a bus.

Escorted by hotel security personnel, the players entered the hotel one after another from the hotel entrance.

At this time, Tang Zheng was the only one who checked in, and he was very tall and conspicuous wearing a peaked cap.

Hao Junmin, who played for Schalke 04, saw Tang Zheng checking in at a glance, he turned his head and said a word to Zheng Zhi and walked over, and then patted Tang Zheng's right shoulder.

The reason why Hao Junmin went to Doha earlier than Tang Zheng to prepare for the World Cup dizziness match was because he received a yellow card in the 11th round of the league at home against Hoffenheim and was automatically suspended in the last round.

Tang Zheng turned his head to see that it was Hao Junmin, and stretched out his right hand with a smile: "I can finally be a teammate." ”

"yes. ”

Artemisia Junmin nodded with a smile.

Tang Zheng, Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen and Zhang Chengdong are the only four foreign players in the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, except for Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, who play in the top five European leagues, Huang Bowen and Zhang Chengdong play for limited strength.

Among them, Huang Bowen still plays in the South Korean K League, and Zhang Chengdong plays for the Portuguese Super League Bellamar.

Among the four foreign players, Tang Zheng naturally has the greatest influence.

After all, at the age of twenty-two, he won the glory that countless Chinese players could not get by working hard all their lives.

Whether it is team glory or individual glory, it is a new chapter in the history of Chinese football.

Last season he almost single-handedly led Borussia Dortmund to the treble, and even led Dortmund to defeat the Cosmos Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup with one man less.

The strength of the terror is hard to believe, is this really a Chinese?

In fact, Tang Zheng's history has been reported thousands of times by the media, and he has been a talented player since he was a child.

The best player and top scorer in the National Junior High School Football League, the best player and top scorer in the National High School Football League, only to be transformed into an all-round midfielder by head coach Simeone at River Plate.

Everyone's focus is on Tang Zheng, and among these players, Zhang Zhang Linpeng, the former captain of the Chinese national youth team, has the most complicated feelings.

What happened in Saudi Arabia three years ago feels like yesterday.

In retrospect, it was really naïve in the past.

What level of player is Tang Zheng?

What level of player are you?

There is a huge gap between China's top domestic and the world's top.

At the same time that Zhang Linpeng's fugue was too empty, Tang Zheng accompanied by Hao Junmin to the hall, which is where the current members of the Chinese men's football team are waiting.

Tang Zheng didn't see anything else, he smiled and greeted his future teammates on the field.

Maybe Zhang Linpeng hasn't forgotten the scene three years ago, but Tang Zheng has long forgotten it.

A lot of things are not worth thinking about.

The past is gone.

In the national youth team three years ago, Tang Zheng and the current national team members, he had the best relationship with Wu Xi, so the greeting was also the most enthusiastic.

He gave Wu Xi a big hug: "Long time no see." ”

Wu Xi was a little flattered, he really didn't expect Tang Zheng to be as easy-going as he was three years ago, and his reaction was half a beat slower.

Tang Zheng smiled, did not speak, but patted Wu Xi's shoulder meaningfully and walked towards the other teammates.

Many members of the national team expressed their friendliness to Tang Zheng's arrival, such as captain Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi, the core of the Chinese team's midfield, who behaved very coldly and even perfunctory.

But Tang Zheng didn't care, he came to help the national team play the World Cup qualifiers, but he didn't get the approval of all his teammates.

Li Weifeng's reputation in the past has always been bad, and many media have reported that he is a ball bully.

And Tang Zheng is the title of China's No. 1 star, and it is normal for Li Weifeng to worry that Tang Zheng's arrival will threaten his status in the team.

As for Zheng Zhi, pure crushing comes from the playing time.

In a sense, Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi's positions are the same, but Tang Zheng plays more strategically and has stronger offensive ability.

Finally, Tang Zheng walked towards Zhang Linpeng.

At this time, head coach Camacho slowly walked to the hotel lobby accompanied by translator Zhou Yi.

Camacho was very familiar with Tang Zheng, so he saw the tall Tang Zheng at a glance.

Tang Zheng, who had played in Argentina for two years, was able to speak fluent Spanish, which Camacho naturally understood, and he took three steps and two steps, and stretched out his right hand towards Tang Zheng: "Hey, I finally saw you with my own eyes." ”

The reason why Camacho is so enthusiastic about Tang Zheng is because he knows that if the Chinese team wants to get out of the current predicament, they must rely on Tang Zheng's ability.

Tang Zheng didn't quite understand Camacho's enthusiasm, but because of the head coach's face, he also smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him, complimenting: "This should be what I said, but you have coached Spain and Real Madrid, and you have admired your name for a long time." ”

The two chatted a few words very usually, and then the hotel staff handed the room card to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng was the latest player to arrive before the Chinese men's football team competed in the fourth round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, so he was able to enjoy his personal space.

Facing the enthusiastic Camacho, Tang Zheng yawned unnaturally, and Camacho, as a human spirit, immediately realized that Tang Zheng had taken a plane for half a day after playing the league, which must have brought a lot of physical fatigue.

So Camacho said: "Rest well and train in the team tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Good. Tang Zheng was not hypocritical, nodded and said, "Then I'll go up first." ”

Immediately, Tang Zheng waved goodbye to his teammates.

Only Zhang Linpeng stood there with a little emotion, just now he saw Tang Zheng take the initiative to greet him, he was very happy, thinking that the things of the year could be said goodbye, but when he was ready to greet him, Tang Zheng turned around and greeted the head coach.

This......

Slap in the face in public!

If Tang Zheng knew what Zhang Linpeng was thinking, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing.

After all, the body is too tired, and the head coach takes the initiative to greet him, so he will not leave the head coach and his teammates to continue to say hello, right?

※※※

The next day, Tang Zheng got up early, he looked at the morning view of Doha through the glass, stretched his waist, and felt the strength of his body by the way.

Compared to before the league game against Wolfsburg, there are some deficiencies in physical coordination and absolute strength.

Tang Zheng knew that this was the sequelae of the long journey after the high-confrontation competition.

However, as a professional footballer, this situation is very common, and the recovery is also very fast, especially for young people like Tang Zheng.

The Chinese team's training in Doha took place in the afternoon, and Tang Zheng woke up in the morning and went to the gym of the hotel to exercise.

He had just been running on the treadmill for less than two minutes when he was approached by a member of the Football Association.

It turned out that the Chinese Football Association temporarily held a press conference for Tang Zheng at the hotel.

"Yes, I know the taste. Tang Zheng was very satisfied.

Although he never thinks that he is a big name, sometimes people have a little vanity, and as China's No. 1 star, he naturally wants to enjoy this treatment!

The press conference was attended by a large number of journalists, most of whom were Chinese journalists.

But there are also many foreign media, such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, Qatar, Iraq......

The Iraqi media were the most complicated among the visiting foreign media, they defeated China away in the third round of Group A of the Asian Top 20, and they will beat the Chinese team in the fourth round without any suspense.

Because the Chinese team without Tang Zheng is the same in their eyes, there is no threat.

But now Tang Zheng has been called up by the Chinese Football Association to become an international player.

In other words, Tang Zheng will play in the World Cup qualifiers in four days......

Thinking of Tang Zheng's amazing performance in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, they didn't have any confidence in their hearts.

The most frequently asked question by the Chinese media is the mood of returning to the national team and the prospect of future competitions, Tang Zheng thought for a moment and muttered: "I have said on many occasions that a career is incomplete without the experience of the national team, even if I have achieved a lot of achievements in River Plate and Dortmund, there is still no way to make up for it...... Now he has finally been called up by the state......"

Speaking of this, Tang Zheng paused, adjusted his mentality, and said with a smile: "I only have one mentality when it comes to the game, and that is to do my best to win the game! And in the past three rounds, one win and two losses ranked third in the group, so for us this is a game that we can't lose, and we can't even afford a draw, and victory is my only goal!"

Foreign media who came to the press conference were naturally able to understand Chinese.

A reporter from the Iraqi sports media newspaper "Amar Sports" was a little upset, he raised his hand and asked in English: "Football is a team sport, I personally want to know where you got your confidence?"

Tang Zheng's English is not very good, but he can understand a general idea, he said in broken English: "As I said before, do your best, you must be open to the situation of unfavorable group rankings! As for self-confidence, it is because I am strong! I am so strong that it is beyond your expectations!"

Hearing Tang Zheng's answer, not only the Iraqi sports media were dissatisfied, but other foreign media were also dissatisfied.

Because Tang Zheng is too arrogant!

The Chinese media don't have many superfluous ideas, in their hearts, Tang Zheng is the strongest!

In fact, the reason why Tang Zheng said this is very simple, that is, he hopes to attract all the off-field firepower, so that his teammates can easily play.

From the perspective of individual tactical ability, many Chinese players are not bad, but they are not very aware of team play, and they are too concerned about their own perception in the unexpected world.

is like a sentence often mentioned in the live broadcast of the Chinese men's football game on CCTV 5: There is not much time left for the Chinese team.

Why is this happening?

It's not that the psychological quality and ability to work under pressure are low.

If Tang Zheng concentrates all his firepower on himself, then the pressure on his teammates from other national teams will be minimized, and he will have more strength on the court.

The direct result of the dissatisfaction of the foreign media with Tang Zheng was the collective bombardment of online social media and the physical newspaper the next day.

Tang Zheng knows the face of the media best, so he doesn't think so.

All his attention was on his first practice with his national team team-mates in the afternoon.

In the Chinese national team, Tang Zheng is only familiar with Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi and Hao Junmin, and his knowledge of other teammates is limited to game videos.

Of course, the most familiar is Artemisia Junmin.

Today's Zhang Linpeng and Wu Xi After three years of transformation, Zhang Linpeng is now playing more positions as right-back and central defender.

And Wu Xi is a panacea, he is an all-round type, and he can play in any position.

He can only play as a substitute in Camacho's hands, and he is not qualified to be the main team.

Due to the vacancy of the central defender position, Zhang Linpeng is likely to play central defender in the next game, and there will not be many opportunities to contact Tang Zheng, but it doesn't have much to do with it.

Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin have competed in the Ruhr derby and know his individual skills well.

The most direct embodiment of this understanding is that Tang Zheng's pass is easy to find Artemisia Junmin, and it is also the kind of very comfortable pass, which makes it easier for Artemisia Junmin, who has the ball, to make the next move.

Zheng Zhi, who has played in the Premier League, has to admit that Tang Zheng's ability is indeed very strong.

However, new problems arose in training.

The national team's training in the past was based on Zheng Zhi as the core, but now it is suddenly replaced by Tang Zheng, except for Hao Junmin, the other players are not adaptable.

To put it simply, the rhythm is not at the same point.

Or rather, there is a big gap in the awareness of playing football.

Tang Zheng was used to playing in the midfield at Dortmund, and he was also used to the tacit cooperation with his teammates, and he thought that his teammates would be able to keep up with his rhythm.

But the results were cruel.

It's like Zheng Zhi obviously has an open field in front of him, Tang Zheng naturally passed a pass with an advance amount, but Zheng Zhi would spread his hands and say, "Can you give me my feet?"

Once Sun Xiang inserted at high speed on the left side according to the tactical execution, Tang Zheng made a long pass directly after getting the ball.

Considering Sun Xiang's speed, he passed a little in advance, and the passing method was a long pass with backspin, that is, there was a slowdown after landing.

As a result, Sun Xiang stopped in place after seeing the pass, and was a little at a loss.

Once Tang Zheng passed the ball a little too much under the pressure of the substitute side, and Zhao Xuri stopped the ball three meters away, and the control of the football naturally changed hands.

Although Tang Zheng's passing power is a bit big, this kind of passing is not strange in the Bundesliga, and it is easy to control.

It can only be said that the basic skills of the international players are very poor, and they can't even stop passing the ball in this category......

Camacho, the master who was standing on the sidelines watching the training, looked at Tang Zheng's first joint practice and frowned.

Before he summoned Tang Zheng, he was full of confidence, because Tang Zheng's ability was there.

Now, however, it's a mess.

It's not that there is a problem with Tang Zheng's ability, but that the ability of other international players is very different from him, and he can't keep up with Tang Zheng's sense of playing.

Therefore, Tang Zheng made many "mistakes" in training.

Tang Zheng realized that if this situation continued, it would definitely be extremely unfavorable for the next game, so he adjusted his playing ideas, focusing on stability, and carefully observing his teammates' habits such as taking the ball, stopping the ball, and running by the way......
