Chapter 182: Contradictions
The Intercontinental Hotel where the national football players stayed this time has a very good environment, close to the sea, and there is a huge open-air swimming pool outside the restaurant. Zhang Shujie didn't go to the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info they went back to the room to surf the Internet by themselves.
Surprisingly, the Internet of the Intercontinental Hotel is not flattering, the Internet speed is too slow, and it will definitely not work if you can only chat online, watch movies and play games.
Chen Hui, Shen Hao, Wang Junsong and other reporters all rushed to Doha and stayed in the hotel closest to the Intercontinental Hotel. They came to the Intercontinental Hotel and wanted to interview Zhang Shujie and others, and there were many domestic counterparts around them, and everyone wanted to interview the six returnees for the purpose.
But they waited for a long time, but they didn't see the shadow of the six people, but other national football players were going in and out, in order not to cause themselves to run empty, many reporters casually grabbed a team member and handed the microphone up. Chen Hui's gang didn't have much interest in this, they were used to seeing Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, and the domestic players couldn't make them feel any excitement.
Shen Hao was a little puzzled: "It's strange, Zhang Shujie and they don't come out?"
Wang Junsong said: "Since dinner, I haven't seen them come out." ”
Cao Weilin said with a wry smile: "It's time that we have been here for so long, so they can come out and show their faces." ”
Shen Hao laughed: "There are a few national football players in front, why don't you go for an interview?"
Cao Weilin's head shook a rattle: "I still won't go." I will always remember four years ago, a certain national football player played a big name in front of me and made insulting remarks. ”
Many people in the "Sports Weekly" knew about him, and Cao Weilin didn't know where to offend the national football player at that time, and before he could ask two words, the other party was not good at speaking, so he almost scolded. Cao Weilin was also very depressed, and even caused a lot of psychological shadows for a while, so that he saw that the national football players had no idea of interviewing.
Later, Ma Junqiang stayed in Europe, and Cao Weilin also went to Belgium with Yuan Qing to collect and report on Ma Junqiang's affairs. Soon after, Yan Tao emerged in the Netherlands, and Cao Weilin was transferred to the Netherlands to be in charge of Yan Tao's reporting.
"To be honest, in the days since I followed and reported on Yan Tao, I think this young man is much better than some domestic 'big names'. He looked fierce on the outside, but he was very kind to me. Even if I accidentally asked something I shouldn't ask, he always told me to keep it secret, and he would never get angry for no reason. It was the same when I interviewed Ma Junqiang, he really understood the difficulties of us reporters, and he would try his best to cooperate with us. Cao Weilin said with a little feeling.
Yuan Qing also said: "Yes, I am still reporting on Ma Junqiang, and I agree with Lao Cao's words." ”
Shen Hao nodded silently and looked at Zheng Dawei: "Dawei, why don't you speak?"
Zheng Dawei used to be an "informant" for several people in China, but because Xu Ziyi has played more and more times in Villarreal, after the Asian Cup, he will be sent to Spain to pay attention to Xu Ziyi's every move. When he came to Qatar this time, he should first "warm up" himself and Xu Ziyi to establish a relationship, and when the time comes, he will not look rusty when he goes to Spain to meet.
Zheng Dawei smiled: "Now you all know them better than me, and I don't have anything to say for the time being." ”
Shen Hao glanced at him, ignored him, and turned his head to look at the door of the hotel.
Zhang Shujie's six people really haven't come out, Chen Hui proposed: "I'll just call Zhang Shujie and ask them how they are doing in the national team." ”
He said he would fight, but ...... The phone is on a call. So he called Li Mu again.
Li Mu was chatting on the Internet when he heard the mobile phone on the table ringing, and glanced at it, the caller ID was Chen Hui. He quickly answered: "Hey!"
"Li Mu? I'm Chen Hui. ”
"Well, I know. Is there something wrong?"
"There's nothing else to do, I just want to ask you, how do you feel about being in the national team? This is the first time to participate in a major tournament in the national brand, and it is very different from the previous friendly matches. ”
Li Mu sighed: "Hey, don't say it." ”
"Oh, you're in trouble?"
"It's not a trouble, it's just ......"
"Isn't it convenient to say?"
"That's not it, that's it, there are six of us today...... Which six people should you be. A group of six of us went upstairs after eating, but accidentally Yan Tao and Li Guobin had a little friction...... "Li Mu told Chen Hui about the matter, and Chen Hui didn't reply immediately after hearing it, and was slightly silent.
After a few moments, he said, "The manager doesn't know about this yet, does he?"
"I don't know, but I don't know if the captain will tell him. ”
"I don't think Du Peng will speak, he won't be so stupid to say it. Li Mu, the six of you in the national team must pay attention, you are about to face the Asian Cup, because of your existence, it will threaten the position of some veteran players. This is not as simple as a friendly match, a friendly match is a training team, and anyone can play, but the Asian Cup...... I don't need to be too thorough, you understand. ”
Li Mu nodded: "I know." ”
Yan Tao, who had been listening to it for a long time, asked Li Mu: "Who called you?"
"Chen Hui. Journalist for Sports Weekly. ”
Yan Tao let out an "oh", and Chen Hui on the other end of the phone asked, "Who did you talk to just now?"
"No, it's Yan Tao, I'm in the same room as him. Where are you now?"
"We're downstairs from you. ”
"Really?" Li Mu hurriedly ran to the window, opened the window and looked down, and sure enough, he saw Chen Hui and them.
He turned back to Yan Tao and said, "Come on, old friends are down there." ”
"Huh?" Yan Tao walked over in a daze and looked downstairs, ouch, there are so many people.
The two waved at everyone. Of the six reporters, only Zheng Dawei did not know him, and the remaining five were either his own full-time reporters or had seen them in some photos. Chen Hui held his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Have you seen the person standing next to Shen Hao? He is Zheng Dawei, and he will go to Spain to report on Xu Ziyi after the Asian Cup." Hey, where is Xu Ziyi?"
"In the next room. Li Mu said. He looked at Yan Tao: "You inform Jie Zai and the four of them, just say that the old friend is here, they may not know it now." By the way, I specially asked Xu Ziyi to say hello to that Zheng Dawei, you know. ”
Yan Tao took out his mobile phone: "Okay, I'll notify them." ”
So Yan Tao called four other people, and mentioned Zheng Dawei to Xu Ziyi alone. Soon, Chen Hui saw six heads poking out from the windowsills of the three rooms, this is not who else could be the six foreign players.
Everyone waved to each other, and Xu Ziyi also glanced at Zheng Dawei alone.
Li Mu's phone didn't hang up, and he asked Chen Hui: "You've been waiting for a long time, right?
"No need, there are too many reporters below, you will definitely be surrounded by them when you come down. We'll just find out how you're in the national team, and now that we know, you don't have to come down again, and besides, you're only in Qatar today, so let's take a rest. We don't lack that little bit of information about you, and if there's really any big news, you'll be the first to tell us. Chen Hui smiled slyly after speaking.
Li Mu also smiled: "Okay then." Where do you live?"
"It's not far from here, we'll be back in a minute. ”
"It's fine. By the way, what I told you today, don't report it yet, I'm afraid it will affect the national team. ”
"Rest assured. We haven't known each other for a day or two, and I have a sense of proportion in what I can say and what I can't. ”
"Well, I believe you. Then I'll hang up the phone first. ”
"Okay, bye-bye, get some rest early. ”
Chen Hui hung up the phone. Shen Hao asked, "How is it? Are they used to the national team?"
Chen Hui sighed and told him about the contradiction between Yan Tao and Li Guobin after dinner today, and everyone frowned and remained silent after listening to it.
"Guys, don't report it, it will affect their status in the national team. ”
Wang Junsong said: "This kind of thing must not be talked about, keep it secret first." Our country has finally produced a few promising returnees, but we can't let some rumors ruin it. ”
Shen Hao opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but saw Yuan Qingqing pointing in front of him: "Look, it's Gao Hongbo." ”
A few people looked back, only to see that as soon as Gao Hongbo came out, he was surrounded by a group of reporters, Cao Weilin said: "Hurry up, let's go up too, the head coach of the national team is the key interview target at all times." ”
A few people trotted and joined the army of "besieging" Gao Hongbo.
*********************
The small friction between Yan Tao and Li Guobin did not make a big fuss, and everything was normal in the training in the following days, but between the two of them, no one was convinced, and they stared at each other. Until one day......
It was January 2, 2011, and after the New Year, the AFC held a test match for the 16 teams participating in the Asian Cup, and yesterday, on January 1, North Korea defeated the host Qatar 1-0, and then Iran will play a match.
The Chinese team's match is scheduled for the afternoon of January 2, and the opponent is Iraq. The results of this kind of test match are not really representative, it is a kind of run-in. For example, in the match between North Korea and Qatar, Qatar did not send a few main players to the field at all, almost all of them were substitutes, otherwise it may be a little difficult for North Korea to win.
However, the players of the Chinese team still attach great importance to it, mainly because the competition of the national team this year is too great, especially the strong entry of several returnee players such as Zhang Shujie has led to the pressure on other players who play in China. Pressure is a good thing, but in a country with "characteristics" like China, many people can't turn pressure into "motivation".
The test match between China and Iraq was asked to be empty, with no fans allowed to enter the stadium and no media reporters allowed to take pictures, which was also the first time that Qatar hosted the test match to be empty. As for the reason for the empty stadium, the explanation given by the Asian Organizing Committee is that the Chinese team has clearly requested that the media and fans be banned from watching, and the Asian Organizing Committee has no right to interfere with such a decision.
This made Chen Hui and his colleagues miserable, and they wanted to see Zhang Shujie's performance, but the Chinese team did not allow reporters to enter. But having said that, the reporters in front are not incomprehensible, the Asian Cup is about to start in a few days, and the Chinese team obviously doesn't want to expose itself too early. However, foreign journalists did not understand, and they believed that this closed test was not necessary at all.
In any case, the decision of the Chinese team has been made, and there is not a single fan or reporter around the stadium except for the team's staff accident. The stands looked deserted, but Gao Hongbo should feel very fortunate that something happened in the game that made him unhappy. The initiators happened to be Yan Tao and Li Guobin.
At that time, the test match was coming to an end, and the Chinese team led Iraq 1:0 with Zhang Shujie's goal, but at this moment, Yan Tao's partner Li Guobin in the back line made a mistake, a very low-level mistake, he kicked Ma Junqiang's return pass to Ma Junqiang without interference, causing the Chinese team to finally lose the goal.
This is simply an inexplicable mistake. Yan Tao sneered: "This footwork also dares to enter the national team?"
Li Guobin said angrily: "Who are you talking about?"
"Say you. Look at yourself, you don't know how amateur the return pass was?"
Li Guobin was speechless, but became more and more angry: "I only make occasional mistakes." ”
"I see that you often make mistakes, if I hadn't helped you wipe your ass, you wouldn't have killed Ma Junqiang?"
Ma Junqiang is also not very satisfied with Li Guobin, if it weren't for the test match, it is estimated that he would have buried a few words. He persuaded Yan Tao: "Forget it, a test match, you don't need to be like him." ”
Li Guobin pointed at Yan Tao and scolded: "Are you not used to looking down on our old players? Don't you just play football in Europe?"
"I'm better than you, if you have the ability, you can go to Europe to play!"
The smell of gunpowder came up, and Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Zhao Wenkang and Xu Ziyi came to persuade Yan Tao that this bone joint must not cause trouble. Some veteran players also ran to persuade Li Guobin, but Li Guobin was so angry by Yan Tao that some lost his mind, rushed to Yan Tao's side, and almost put his forehead on Yan Tao's forehead: "Grass! You have only been in the national team for a few days? Have you gained a firm foothold?"
Yan Tao looked back: "I'm afraid that in the position of the guard, I can stand firmer than you!"
Li Guobin wanted to do it, so he pushed Yan Tao first. Yan Tao is not a master of good deeds, and he was about to fight back, but fortunately, Li Mu and Zhao Wenkang pulled him so that nothing happened, Ma Junqiang stood in front of Yan Tao, and said in his mouth: "Don't say it yet, I want to beat him if you say it again!"
Zhang Shujie also said: "Calm down, don't worry, he is not qualified to compete with you for the main force, so you can't be angry with him." ”
The referee also came up to pull away the two, even Gao Hongbo came up, and his own team members quarreled in the game, and almost fought, if they were photographed by reporters, it would be disgraceful, fortunately, there were no reporters around.
Soon after, the players dispersed and played the rest of the game, and the two sides finally shook hands 1:1 in this test match, Gao Hongbo left the court with a calm face, and told his assistant Fu Bo before leaving, so that the players would all come to the conference room for a meeting after changing their clothes.
