Chapter 152: I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry

After Zhang Shujie and Wang Shihan established a relationship with each other, they were not in a hurry to tell their parents immediately. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Shujie is okay here, his parents have asked him if there is a girl he likes, Zhang Shujie also mysteriously did not answer positively, but said that when the time is ripe, he will naturally bring it back to see the two old men.

And Wang Shihan's situation is different, her father has very strict requirements for her, although she is an adult, but this does not mean that Wang Shihan has the qualifications to be completely free to make decisions, not to mention that this kind of thing involves her own life.

She only tentatively asked her father if she could fall in love after college, and her father's answer was: It depends on who the other party is! Whether the person is excellent or not, and whether the other party's family background is clean. If cats and dogs and the like are here, it will definitely not work.

Wang Shihan thought about it carefully after listening, and she felt that Zhang Shujie still met all the above conditions. But...... She still didn't tell what happened between herself and Zhang Shujie, she decided to slow it down for a while, at least until she stepped into the university gate.

In the days that followed, the two went shopping and shopping like other couples. Of course, during the period, Zhang Shujie disguised himself so as not to be recognized, he is now a star in China, and the Chinese player who can score nine goals in the first season of Serie A has caused a lot of sensation in Chinese football.

But more often, Wang Shihan accompanied him to watch the game, this year is the World Cup year, June 11, the opening of the World Cup in South Africa, as long as it is a fan, you will not miss this festival.

Such days lasted for nearly half a month, until the head coach of the Chinese national team, Gao Hongbo, informed him to report to the national team as soon as possible.

The World Cup has nothing to do with the Chinese team, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Shujie, which does not mean that the Chinese team will not have a game. On June 26, the Chinese team and Tajikistan will hold a friendly match in Kunming, which is an international A-level competition stipulated by FIFA, and the players who have been called up will certainly not refuse to return to the team.

Li Mu was also summoned by Gao Hongbo, and he and Zhang Shujie went to Kunming together, where Zhao Wenkang and Ma Junqiang were already waiting for them.

Pity Yan Tao, he can only become a spectator at home again.

Originally, Wang Shihan proposed to let everyone go to Hangzhou to watch the game together, but Zhang Shujie thought it was not necessary, so far, he didn't know if he could play.

Returnee players can't guarantee whether they can play, which can be said to be impossible in other Asian countries, but this is in China, there are many very strange factors in the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo must take care of the emotions of some "big guys" in the team, and will not immediately let these returnee players sit in the main force.

This should be regarded as a Chinese characteristic.

Due to the World Cup, this game was not broadcast live in China, and the audience in the stands was relatively small. Few fans cared about the game, even if the "Gao Jiajun" won an unprecedented victory over the French team. Who calls the World Cup during this time? What game in this world can compare to the charm of the World Cup?

Even so, new players from the national team like Zhang Shujie still value this game. Not only him, but also Li Mu, Ma Junqiang, and Zhao Wenkang also value him. It was the second time they had been called up to the national team, the first time they didn't play, and all four were looking forward to a chance to play in this game.

Tajikistan is not a strong team, even in Asia, they do not have any decent results, not even the Chinese team. After all, the Chinese team has also participated in the World Cup and won the runner-up in the Asian Cup, but Tajikistan has nothing.

The trend of the game did reflect the gap between the two teams, and after only an hour of play, the Chinese team was already leading 4:0. At this time, the Chinese team has changed three people on the field, and it is a pity that Zhang Shujie and other four people are still sitting on the bench. Because it is a friendly match, there is no limit to the number of substitutions between the two sides, so I don't know if Gao Hongbo will send them in the next game.

In the sixty-fifth minute, Gao Hongbo asked Li Mu to warm up, and the three people next to him showed him envious eyes. Five minutes later, Li Mu appeared on the court. Then, Zhang Shujie went to warm up again.

In the 75th minute, Zhang Shujie replaced Gao Lin. In the next five minutes, Zhao Wenkang and Ma Junqiang warmed up and appeared at the same time, and since then, all the members of the Chinese team have been given the opportunity to play.

With ten minutes left before the end of the game, the Chinese team led by four goals and sealed the victory in advance, and Tajikistan had no intention of recovering the score, and the game entered garbage time very early. But some people did not give up, such as Zhang Shujie, who received a wonderful pass from Li Mu and Zhao Wenkang respectively in just two minutes in the 83rd and 85th minutes, and shot twice in a row to be very threatening, but unfortunately they both slid out.

Li Mu and Zhao Wenkang also had one shot on goal each, but neither scored. Ma Junqiang also did not have a brilliant performance, Tajikistan rarely organized an attack in the past ten minutes, and both shots were completed outside the penalty area, which could not pose a threat to Ma Junqiang.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Tajikistan 4:0, and finally did not disgrace the Chinese people. However, at this juncture, most Malaysians are focused on the World Cup, and Tajikistan is too weak, which is a combination of factors, which also caused fans and media to laugh the game away.

On July 7, South Africa started the first semi-final of the World Cup, with the Netherlands narrowly beating Uruguay 3-2 to become the first team to reach the final of this World Cup, and a day later, Spain defeated Germany 1-0 to successfully advance to the final. After 63 matches, the two finalists were finally selected. Neither of these European giants had ever won a World Cup before, so no matter who wins in the end, a new winner will be added to the World Cup winners' table.

On July 11, at the Football City Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, at half past eight o'clock in the evening local time, the world-renowned World Cup final began on time. In the 116th minute of the second half of extra time, Spanish midfielder Andres Iniesta received a pass from his teammate Cesc Fabregas and completed the stunner in the penalty area to help the team lift the Hercules Cup for the first time in history.

Spain are also the only team to win the European Championship and then the World Cup, which also marks the peak of the Spanish dynasty, a record that may not be surpassed in a short period of time.

When captain Casillas lifted the Hercules Cup high, at the other end of the pitch, it was the lost Dutchman. To be fair, the Netherlands have been very good in this tournament, especially the central midfielder Sneijder, who scored five goals in seven games and was the team's top scorer, and in the match against Brazil, Sneijder scored twice to send Kaka and his team-mates back to Brazil with a score of 2-1. Unfortunately, in the final, the Netherlands met Spain, who were in full swing, and Casillas, who was at the peak of his career.

The Dutchmen soared all the way, but they never made it past the mountain of "St. Cassie". This is the third time that the Dutch team have reached the final of the World Cup, and they can only finish second on all three occasions. The Dutch team is strong enough, but this year's Spain are already above the others, especially in defence, compared to the last champions Italy.

Spain have scored just eight goals in seven games, the fewest goals of any ever champion, and only three players have scored goals. Among them, Villa scored five, Iniesta scored two, and Puyol scored one. Spain can finally win the championship, relying on the overall possession and defense, coupled with the presence of goalkeeper Casillas, making it difficult for opponents to break through Spain's door in the knockout stage.

Even a super-strong team as strong as Germany that can beat Argentina and England 4-0 and 4-1 will be powerless against Casillas.

The Netherlands lost, albeit gloriously.

This World Cup has also come to a successful end with Spain's victory, and the Chinese team is a spectator through and through. This country with the largest number of fans in the world, but can not see their team appear on the highest stage in the world, fans put their hopes in Brazil four years later, although this "hope" has turned into "disappointment" again and again, but the fans are unwilling to give up, they really want to see China like in 2002, once again on the World Cup stage.

The soldiers of the Chinese team, the fans have not given up, are you willing to work hard?

There were no more competitions for the rest of July, and Zhang Shujie originally planned to get together with his old classmates and alumni from high school, but many people were not in Dalian and went to travel, such as Liu Fang, Xiong Kui, and some teammates from the original school team, who were also out of town. Even An Rong has something to do and can't return to Dalian. Zhou Ying told Zhang Shujie that this time he came back suddenly, and many people didn't know about it without prior notice.

Zhang Shujie felt a little regretful, Zhou Ying said, if she could, it would be better to wait until next year, and then she would notify the teammates of those classmates who could be contacted, and everyone would get together again.

Zhang Shujie has no opinion, but even if Zhou Ying can contact everyone, it is estimated that it is difficult to find one person.

It was the only midfield core that could rival Li Muxiang in Dalian high school football, who went to France a few years ago and is still not heard from.

In fact, over the years, whether it is Zhang Shujie, Zhou Ying or Wang Shihan, they have used various methods to contact him, and An Rong has also tried his best, but without exception, everyone has done useless work. It was as if he had evaporated from the world, and he was nowhere to be found.

He has said that he will not give up football, but so far, his friends, his opponents have gone into professional football, but there is no news about him. No one knew where he was, let alone what he was doing.

Zhang Shujie was helpless.

Zhou Ying was even more angry! Although on the surface she seemed to be fine, it was because her friends came back, and she was naturally a little happier, but in her heart, there was always a little haze.

Where is the person she's been looking for, and why can't she be contacted?

I can't do a lot of things when I come back this time, and many people can't see it. However, there is one person Zhang Shujie who has seen it, and that is Tang Feng.

Now Tang Feng is already the editor-in-chief of the "Youth Cup" magazine and has his own small office, and Tang Feng chose the location for this meeting in his office. Of course, Tang Fengman will not only see Zhang Shujie, as well as Li Mu and Yan Tao, he wants to see him.

There are no interviews, just ordinary meetings, as simple as old friends chatting about family life.

Tang Feng made tea for the three teenagers and sat opposite them. I haven't seen him for a few years, and Tang Feng doesn't look old, but these three children have grown up.

"Are you okay abroad?" Tang Feng asked with a smile.

Zhang Shujie nodded: "It went smoothly than expected, although we are still substitutes for the time being, but we also got a lot of opportunities to play and scored a lot of goals." ”

"What's next for you?"

"First of all, of course, try to get the main team, and hopefully stabilize your position in two years. ”

Tang Feng nodded slightly and looked at Li Mu: "You should think the same as him, right?"

"Almost. But I'd rather like to be in the main position next season. ”

Regarding Li Mu's answer, Tang Feng didn't feel much shocked. He thought that Zhang Shujie and Li Mu might sit on the bench in the first year, but he didn't expect that the two would each play more than 20 times, with a total of 13 goals, as two first-year students in Serie A, and only 19 years old, this result is very dazzling.

If this continues, it is not a fool's dream for the two to play the main team next season.

Tang Feng looked at Yan Tao again: "You seem to have played in the first team too?"

Yan Tao grinned: "Yes, there are many injuries in the team at the end of the season, and the team has no hope of relegation and championship, so the coach has given our young players a lot of opportunities." ”

"It's so good to be able to get exercised. ”

Yan Tao pouted: "I think I will soon get more solid playing time, of course, this does not mean that I will become the main force immediately, just that in the coach's tactics, I may be one of the more important substitutes." ”

"Oh?" Tang Feng was a little surprised at this time. You must know that Yan Tao's first-team game experience is less than ten games, but he has so much confidence to say such a thing, it is strange that Tang Feng is not surprised.

He smiled and said, "You're confident!"

"That's one aspect. What's more, the defenders don't seem to be very reliable, and the coach wanted to bring in better defenders in the summer transfer market, but he didn't have enough money to give up, and I think this is a great opportunity for me. ”

After listening to Yan Tao's words, Tang Feng didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and drank tea. The three teenagers didn't squeak either, and drank tea separately.

After a while, Tang Feng spoke: "Do you still pay attention to the domestic high school league?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and then Zhang Shujie said: "I only learned a little from a few friends, Yuying Middle School did not pass the qualifiers this year, and Xinguang Middle School was eliminated in the first round of the national competition for the first time. ”

"What's more? You know?"

The three shook their heads.

Tang Feng laughed self-deprecatingly: "That's right, you are all professional players, how can you have time to pay attention to these." ”

Li Mu coughed lightly: "I wonder if Editor-in-Chief Tang has any important news to tell us?"

"In this year's national competition, not a single player was selected, not even a person who qualified for the trial. ”

The three of them were all stunned when they heard this: "None of them?"

"Yes, not a single one. Saying that, Tang Feng sighed: "Our high school league has been cooperating with European clubs for a total of four years, you were favored and passed the trial in the first two years, and several people also went to the trial last year, but unfortunately they were eliminated, but this year, no one can get into the club's eyes, and even the domestic team can't look down on them." ”

Zhang Shujie muttered: "How can this be ......?"

Yan Tao also said: "This is really not as good as a year. ”

Tang Feng looked at them and said, "I posted a report a few days ago, the three of you, plus Zhao Wenkang and Xu Ziyi, all came out of the high school league in the past two years, and have achieved varying degrees of success, which has also led to many high school students targeting you. ”

Zhang Shujie said: "There is nothing wrong with this, there is a direction of struggle." ”

"The theory is so, but don't forget that the direction of struggle cannot be blind. Your interests and hobbies, as well as your suitability for this path, are very important. The mentality of these high school students has changed a lot in the last two years, and everyone thinks that they can be like you, to be noticed by European clubs, to become professional footballers, and to start their careers abroad. Once they have that idea, it's against their original purpose of playing. ”

There was silence in the office again.

Tang Feng paused, and then said: "The purpose of you starting to play football is not to think about going abroad and playing in Europe all day long, is it?

All three nodded, "Hmm." ”

"That's right, because you keep a normal heart and put yourself in the right place. Even if you know that there are European teams and high school leagues to cooperate, it is already when you have the technical foundation and achievements, in other words, you have the ability and the qualification, but not everyone has this ability and qualification. ”

The meaning of Tang Feng's words is obvious. The reason why Zhang Shujie's gang was selected and stayed in Europe had a lot to do with their own reasons and the environment in which the high school league was located at that time, and now, all this has quietly changed.

Today's children are still too anxious, and those who are anxious can't eat hot tofu.

If this situation develops, the cultivation of reserve talents in Chinese football may encounter a lot of trouble. There are too many shady scenes in some so-called professional football schools, and the high school league is gradually putting interests first, such an environment is definitely harmful to youth football.

Even Brazil, the kingdom of football, has begun to have a talent outage, not to mention the Chinese football that has just tasted a little sweetness in the high school league? If this situation is not stopped as soon as possible, then Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Yan Tao and others are likely to be the first and last batch of players to go from the high school league to Europe!
