After more than eight hours of flight, the Chinese team arrived safely at Moscow's Liesome Metyevo International Airport, outside the airport, a large number of reporters and fans were waiting to pick them up, at this special moment, both reporters and fans, are mostly Chinese, there are also many Chinese living in the local area, and there are many international students.

Of course, there are also some local Russian fan reporters and reporters and fans from other countries, the Chinese team is star-studded, and reporters from any country are not far away from missing the shooting and reporting, as for the fans...... Stars such as Zhang Shujie and Li Mu have their own fans in every country in the world, so these foreign fans come to witness their idols.

The first to come out was Song Weifeng, as an assistant coach, Song Weifeng, who has always been low-key, did not cause too much reversal in the fan base after he appeared, but reporters kept filming her, and he was followed by two staff members, and similarly, the fans did not pay too much attention to them.

The third one who came out was Ma Junqiang, as the captain of the Chinese national team, Manchester City's No. 1 goalkeeper, who won the title of the best goalkeeper in the Premier League and Europe, and was selected for the world team of the year, "Ma Dashuai" unexpectedly caused the fans to scream, and countless flashes shook his eyes a little.

He smiled slightly at the reporters and fans, and soon, a bold reporter came forward to interview him and asked him: "You hated the quarterfinals in the last World Cup, what is your goal this time, will it be the champion?"

This question is very sharp, but who is Ma Junqiang? What scene have you never seen? He smiled lightly: "I have always believed that the strength of our Chinese team is very strong, and the whole world thinks that we are one of the favorites to win the championship. Even so, if I say we want to win this title, it is a matter of course, and if anyone thinks my words are problematic, you can ask a few other favourites to see if they want to win this title. ”

After finishing speaking, Ma Junqiang didn't stay too long, walked straight forward, and boarded the bus that was already waiting in the hall.

Other players also walked out one after another, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi, Li Mu and other players also caused cheers from fans and warm hospitality from reporters.

Zhang Shujie and An Rong walked at the end, An Rong looked at Yan Tao and said with a smile: "This kid, it's the same in Milan, right?"

Zhang Shujie said with a smile: "He has always been like this. Actually, it's pretty good, I feel like he's very enthusiastic and optimistic at all times. ”

An Rong nodded and said, "How sure are you in this World Cup?"

"If you look at the strength on paper, you have a lot of certainty. But football is not bigger than the cards, and I believe that there are many other teams besides us who have an imperative attitude towards this championship. ”

"Either way, the championship is our only goal. ”

Zhang Shujie said: "This is the purpose of our trip. ”

The two walked out as they spoke, the reporters' flashlights kept shining on their faces, and the fans shouted in shock: "Zhang Shujie!"

"Ann guide!

The two looked at the crowd and smiled softly. At this time, the reporter gathered around, and the two stopped. A Russian reporter asked Zhang Shujie in English: "May I ask Zhang Shujie, are you here for the championship this time?"

Everyone thought that Zhang Shujie would say polite words like Ma Junqiang, but Zhang Shujie simply said two words: "Yes." ”

This answer surprised everyone. The Chinese team was not the first team they interviewed, but it was the first team to answer as directly as Zhang Shujie.

After Zhang Shujie finished speaking, he walked towards the bus, and An Rong answered the reporter's last question: "It's not just us who are coming for the championship, as for what else, when we wait for the top eight, everything will be understood." ”

*********************

The bus stopped at the hotel where the Chinese team was staying, and the environment of the hotel was very good, and the players were very happy with all aspects. There are gyms, billiard halls, and open-air swimming pools inside, but An Rong said hello in advance and did not allow the players to go swimming. Swimming is a physical job, and if you don't accidentally strain your muscles, you're doomed.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of the national football players, there are no outsiders in the entire hotel except for the staff and security personnel. Zhang Shujie and Li Mu were divided into the same room, Yan Tao and Ma Junqiang on the left, and Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi on the right. An Rong has strict requirements for their schedules, and they have to go to bed at ten o'clock at the latest. Fortunately, the self-discipline of this group of players is not bad and they will not stay up late.

Because he has just arrived in Moscow, An Rong does not plan to arrange training today, he wants to let the players rest well, and the training will start tomorrow. The first round of the group stage of the Chinese team only started on the 19th, and they have a week to run in. An Rong's initial plan is to train for one hour each day in the morning and afternoon, and the rest of the time the players will arrange their own. You can go to the gym, you can go to the billiard room, and you can walk around, but you are not allowed to go out of the hotel without An Rong's permission.

*******************

Zhang Shujie put down his luggage and simply cleaned up the bed; after Li Mu finished cleaning up, he looked around and said, "This hotel is okay, it's very exquisite, and the bathroom is also very spacious." ”

"After all, it's a hotel for the World Cup. Zhang Shujie said and took out the towel and put it in the bathroom. It's best to prepare these things yourself, not use the ones in the hotel.

"Papaya, what time is it?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon local time. ”

"I have to get some rest, I'm tired from sitting on a plane for so long. I'll take a shower first. ”

He heard Li Mu outside: "Fortunately, this is in Russia, and the jet lag is not very serious, much better than flying to Brazil four years ago." ”

Zhang Shujie laughed when he heard this: "As long as it is the World Cup, I want to go wherever it is held, even in Antarctica." ”

"That's right. What professional player doesn't want to play in the World Cup? Actually, we are quite lucky that we are representing China in the World Cup for the second time. ”

"Some people took it four times. Germany's Mateus has participated in five World Cups and won one championship. ”

"That's different. You must know that China has only entered the World Cup finals three times, and this one should be counted. ”

Zhang Shujie was washing his hair, and he didn't answer immediately, and waited for a while before saying, "You're right to say that." But I still admire Mateus, from the age of 21 to the age of 37, he has never missed the middle five World Cups, and except for the first one, he has been the core of the team since then......"

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Hey, are you done? It's my turn to wash. ”

"Wait a few more minutes, and you'll be out in no time!"
