The first game of the Asian Cup was won, and Chinese fans were also in a good mood, and many domestic media touted how the Chinese team was, but there were still calm reporters who reminded everyone to keep a clear head. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chen Hui wrote in the report: "Four years ago in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team defeated Malaysia 5:1 in the first game, and many people were also optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team. So we have to sober up now, although the strength of the Chinese team has improved a lot compared with four years ago, we can't take it lightly. ”

There are not many football reporters like Chen Hui in China, mainly because China's playing environment is too poor, and they start to brag about a little achievement. Chen Hui can be so rational because he has experienced the growth of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu in Serie A, and he can see the essence of things more clearly.

Shen Hao, Wang Junsong, Cao Weilin and others also held the same view as him. Sometimes, just like the players, the reporters see and hear a lot more after experiencing the high-level league firsthand.

Domestic coverage quickly reached Qatar, and the national football players knew that fans and the media were full of praise for them. But maybe it was four years ago that everyone has "grown wise", and today four years later, everyone has "grown wise", and no one in the team is complacent. Only a very small part of the team members were slightly proud, but it was not obvious.

On the day of the game, the players were very tired and went to bed early. Zhang Shujie also had a phone call with Wang Shihan in the afternoon, and Ma Junqiang, who lived in the same room with him, couldn't stand the little couple's tiredness on the phone, so he found an excuse to run out to talk to Li Mu and them.

The next morning, Gao Hongbo did not arrange training, so everyone had another morning's rest. Zhang Shujie was woken up by a knock on the door when he was still asleep, he was too lazy to open the door, and called Ma Junqiang in a daze. Who knew that Ma Junqiang was also lying in bed, and he didn't want to open the door, and asked Zhang Shujie why he didn't go by himself, Zhang Shujie lost a sentence "Your bunk is close to the door".

Ma Junqiang didn't care, covered his head and continued to sleep, but the knock on the door was getting louder and louder, and someone was shouting: "Zhang Shujie, Ma Junqiang, you two haven't woken up yet?"

Zhang Shujie said sleepily: "This voice ...... It's a bit like Yan Tao. ”

"It's him. Ma Junqiang turned over: "That loud voice, it's not okay if you don't open the door." ”

Ma Junqiang jumped up from the bed wearing a pair of underwear and ran to open the door, the knocking on the door did not stop in this short process, Ma Junqiang said: "Don't knock, don't knock, come and open the door." ”

As soon as he opened the door, he saw four people standing at the door, in addition to Yan Tao, Li Mu, Zhao Wenkang and Xu Ziyi, these four people looked very good, unlike Ma Junqiang, whose hair was messy.

"Wow, what day is it today? Four people are coming together?"

Li Mu knocked him: "Come to you, if you don't train in the morning, you won't plan to sleep like this, right?"

Ma Junqiang pointed to the back, and Li Mu and the four of them rushed up, almost knocking Ma Junqiang down.

"Hey, hey, don't be so excited! I'm the door god of the Chinese team, if I am injured by you, who will guard the dragon gate?"

Zhao Wenkang turned around and smiled: "You better close the door first, put your pants on, and then talk about it, you see what you look like now? It will damage the image of the national team." ”

Ma Junqiang disagreed, and pretended to check whether he was injured. He patted his heart: "Fortunately, it's okay, if it is spread that the number one goalkeeper of the national team was injured by a group of perverted men in the hotel, then I will have no face." ”

Zhang Shujie was already sitting on the bed, and there were four "well-dressed" people standing in front of him, and another person was wearing pants.

Yan Tao swaggered to sit on his bed: "Look at the time, what time is it?"

Zhang Shujie grabbed a handful of hair: "I fell asleep very late last night." ”

"Didn't everyone go to bed early last night, what did you do?"

"I ......" Before Zhang Shujie could say anything, Ma Junqiang rushed to say: "This kid must be secretly thinking about Wang Shihan, and he can't sleep all night." ”

Li Mu and Yan Tao are no strangers to Wang Shihan, Zhao Wenkang and Xu Ziyi have actually heard of it, when they were in the National High School League, they had a fight with Wang Shihan's Yuying Middle School, but now, Xu Ziyi can't remember the reporter from Yuying Middle School at all, but Zhao Wenkang is still a little impressed.

So Xu Ziyi asked: "Who is Wang Shihan?"

Ma Junqiang pointed at Zhang Shujie: "His girlfriend." ”

"Do you have a girlfriend?" asked Xu Ziyi.

Zhang Shujie nodded.

Yan Tao said to Xu Ziyi: "Wang Shihan was our accompanying reporter from Yuying Middle School back then, you don't know, right?"

"This ...... I don't quite remember. Besides, when we met in the final, I only cared about the game, not what happened off the field. Xu Ziyi said, and looked at Zhang Shujie again: "Strange, why have you never heard the media report that you have a girlfriend? You are so popular in China now, the reporter will not know about it?"

"It's a secret, I didn't say it. Don't talk about it. ”

"If you put 10,000 hearts at that, I won't go around talking about things that shouldn't be said. If you don't believe it, ask Zhao Wenkang, he knows me best. ”

Zhao Wenkang said with a smile: "Yes, so Zhang Shujie, don't worry, we are all professional players, we all play in Europe, and we all know very well what to say and what not to say." ”

Zhang Shujie smiled, in fact, among the people in front of him, he and Li Mu have known each other for the longest time, then Ma Junqiang, and then Yan Tao, Zhao Wenkang and Xu Ziyi are the shortest known to him. But he still believes in them in his heart, and of course it's not as simple as everyone playing abroad.

The biggest reason is that in this national team, those domestic players do not like to see these six returnees, mainly because the existence of the six of them has caused many players in the team to lose their main positions, although Yan Tao and Xu Ziyi are still substitutes in the national team, but with the accumulation of games, they will be the main force sooner or later.

Among this group of domestic players, only a very small number of players such as Gao Lin will say hello after meeting them, after all, they did not pose any threat to Gao Lin in the tactical arrangement, and the other players pretended not to know each other when they met them, and walked away by themselves. This kind of reason makes the six people overseas have a taste of sympathy for each other, and they get closer to each other. In addition, they were more or less implicated in one way or another before they became professional players, just like Ma Junqiang knew Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, Zhang and Li became friends with Yan Tao, Yan Tao and Zhao Wenkang and Xu Ziyi also "don't fight and don't know each other", this back and forth, the six of them slowly became acquainted with each other.

Li Mu saw that Zhang Shujie was still sitting on the bed, and got him up: "Hurry up, let's go have breakfast, and after eating, we will go to the open-air swimming pool to bask in the sun." Today's weather is just right, and I don't train, so I can't miss it. ”

Zhang Shujie struggled and said, "Don't pull don't pull it, I'll get dressed." ”

Ma Junqiang tidied up his collar: "Look at me, it's all dressed." ”

Zhao Wenkang suddenly asked him, "Have you brushed your teeth?"

"No ......"

"Why don't you go now? Don't tell me you never brush your teeth. ”

"Damn, how is that possible. Saying that, Ma Junqiang went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

The open-air swimming pool is just outside the restaurant at the InterContinental Hotel, and it's half past nine in the morning local time in Doha, where most of the national football players are located.

It's not that the players don't want to leave the hotel, it's that there is no supermarket near the Intercontinental Hotel, you have to walk a long way to shop, and the internet is average. Therefore, after breakfast, everyone came to this open-air swimming pool.

Although it is a swimming pool, but the players want to go into the water but no, Gao Hongbo does not allow it, he asks everyone to rest as soon as possible, swimming is a strenuous exercise, not to mention the consumption of physical strength, if a accidentally strained muscle, it is a big deal.

So at most, the team members can only walk around the pool at will, take a walk, and some people lie on the deck chairs next to the pool to bask in the sun, and Ma Junqiang has already laid down.

On the first day of coming to the national team, most of the players had visited here, and Zhang Shujie and other six people came here for the first time. He walked up to Ma Junqiang and asked, "Is it comfortable to lie down?"

"That's for sure. You see, our hotel is next to the resort beach, the sun is shining on you, looking at the deep blue sea, will you still be in a bad mood?"

"You really know how to enjoy it. ”

"Life is meant to be enjoyed. Ma Junqiang stretched his limbs as he spoke, closed his fists and slammed forward, and said with a smile: "See, the more I relax and enjoy it, the more sensitive my reaction will be...... Ouch, who?"

Before Ma Junqiang's boasting was over, an empty mineral water bottle smashed on his head, startling him.

Li Mu walked slowly from a distance with sunglasses: "Aren't your reflexes very sensitive? You can't even catch an empty bottle, how can you catch the ball?"

Ma Junqiang turned the empty bottle back, Li Mu**** stopped, his thigh was upside down, and then he hooked it with his right foot, and the bottle returned to his hand.

"See? That's what you call agility. Li Mu shook the empty bottle.

"Cut, I didn't pay attention just now. If you try again, I'll be able to catch it. Ma Junqiang launched a "challenge".

Li Mu laughed: "Forget it, I still won't hit you." ”

"What do you say? When I can't catch the ball, I saved both of Kuwait's must-have goals in yesterday's game. ”

"That's because the opponent is Kuwait, and the next game will not be so easy. ”

"Next?" Ma Junqiang seemed to be thinking about something: "By the way, who is our next opponent?"

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu were stunned. Dare to love this kid who doesn't remember the opponent in the next game?

Zhang Shujie was about to answer, when a voice floated over: "It's Qatar." ”

The three of them looked for prestige, Zhao Wenkang, Xu Ziyi, and Yan Tao walked over, and the person who spoke was Zhao Wenkang.

Yan Tao sighed twice: "Old horse, old horse, you don't know that we are about to face the host?"

Ma Junqiang didn't answer, and Zhao Wenkang asked again: "Have you even forgotten the game time?"

"Who said that? The time of the game is 5:15 p.m. on the 12th, and I mean Doha time. ”

"Looks like you still remember. ”

Ma Junqiang straightened his face: "Since it is the host, it is not easy to deal with." ”

"Aren't you a door god?

"No, I'm not afraid of Qatar, but as the host, they have a lot of advantages. The cup is different from the league, and in the two teams that are not much different in strength, the players playing at home will definitely have an advantage. ”

Ma Junqiang's analysis is very correct. Although this guy usually has some giggles, but only for acquaintances, as long as he calms down, he can see the essence of many things, otherwise he would not have become the captain of the team in junior high school.

"Host, ......" Xu Ziyi muttered: "I really want to be able to play against Qatar and learn how much strength this host has." ”

Yan Tao clasped his arms and said, "Let's make a substitute first, what we have to do now is to quietly wait for the opportunity." ”

Xu Ziyi smiled: "Forget it, sooner or later, one day, I will sit in the position of the main midfielder of the national team." ”

Zhang Shujie patted him on the shoulder, and then patted Yan Tao: "Your first appearance was in the Asian Cup, and the four of us played several warm-up games." So you don't have to rush. ”

Yan Tao didn't care too much, and said: "I'm not in a hurry, most of the defenders are late maturing, I'm so young, I'm satisfied if I can play in the national team." As for everything else, take your time. ”

"That's right. Shihan once said that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, just be calm. ”

Ma Junqiang said in a weird manner: "It's still 'Shihan'! Men with girlfriends are different, they mature so quickly." ”

Zhang Shujie pretended not to hear it, and said to everyone: "It's not early now, let's go back to the room, the other team members are almost gone, and we have to train in the afternoon." ”

A few people nodded, and then returned together. Ma Junqiang had been lying on the recliner for too long, so he got up slowly, and by the time he stood up, the five had already walked far.

"Hurry up and be reincarnated, wait for me. He grabbed his coat and strode after him.
