Chapter 45: Generous Rewards

In the process of Cheng Hai following the assistant of the National Olympic team to the Asian Games Village, the news of his arrival in Yangcheng had already spread, and countless reporters, athletes, and volunteers in the Asian Games Village, except for those who could not leave their posts, began to gather at the entrance of the village, or stood at the window of the dormitory and looked at the direction of the village.

Because, in addition to Liu Xiang, Cheng Hai is the biggest star of the Chinese delegation in this Asian Games.

Others, such as Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Guo Jingjing, etc., did not participate in this Asian Games.

Therefore, it is really face-saving for Dortmund Club to let Cheng Hai come over to participate in the Asian Games.

Although Cheng Hai has not won any championships, and it has been less than three months since his debut in the first official game, the attraction of football, the world's number one sport, as well as the fame of the Bundesliga and Dortmund, coupled with Cheng Hai's own performance, have made him rise to the top of the Chinese sports stars in just over two months.

This is just the current popularity, if you talk about growth potential, the vast majority of people believe that there is no one in China who can compare with Cheng Hai.

After all, a college amateur player has established himself in just four months at Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, ranking first in the Bundesliga scorers' charts, making 18 substitute appearances and scoring 15 goals, which is more than the total number of goals scored in a season by many long-established strikers.

This kind of performance, not to mention in China, is a top genius in the world, with outstanding talent and extremely high potential.

Therefore, whether in terms of current fame or future development potential, Cheng Hai cannot be called a superstar in Europe, but he can definitely be called a supernova in China, and he is a supernova whose fame is directly after the old sports stars.

For example, in this Asian Games, the Chinese delegation has nearly 1,000 athletes, and Cheng Hai is still the second biggest star in the delegation after Liu Xiang.

In addition, Cheng Hai has no domestic professional competition and training experience at all, and was directly selected by Dortmund's scouts, starting from a foreign giant club, which is a legend.

That's why the athletes and volunteers in the Asian Games Village are so curious about him, and the reporters are so interested in him.

Not every media has the capital to send foreign reporters, although many people reprint Cheng Hai's relevant reports every day, but they don't have the opportunity to see them, even including reporters from some national media.

Therefore, when they heard that Cheng Hai arrived at the airport and was rushing to the Asian Games Village, everyone rushed up.

The airport is still dozens of kilometers away from the Asian Games Village, and with the traffic jam, it took a lot of time on the road.

By the time Cheng Hai's car arrived at the Asian Games Village, hundreds of Chinese journalists, volunteers and athletes had gathered at the entrance of the village, as well as athletes from other Asian countries standing on the periphery to watch the excitement.

Cheng Hai still has some popularity in Asia.

The car could no longer get in, so Cheng Hai could only get out of the car to greet everyone, which caused applause and cheers from volunteers and some young athletes.

Cheng Hai's body is not contaminated with some of the breath of domestic football, and he is currently the most recognized football star in China.

Then, the reporters who gathered around began to talk about interviews and ask questions, while Cheng Hai answered reporters' questions while signing autographs and taking photos of some volunteers.

Reporter: "Cheng Hai, being selected for the National Olympic team for the first time, how long do you think it will take to reach a tacit understanding with your teammates?" ”

Cheng Hai: "Although I joined the team late, our goal is the same, to win glory for the country. Therefore, I am confident that I will be able to integrate into the team very quickly. ”

Reporter: "Do you think we can achieve the goal of entering the quarterfinals proposed by the Football Association?" ”

Cheng Hai: "No one knows about this, but we will definitely do our best to get a result that satisfies the fans." ”

Reporter: "As the No. 1 scorer in the Bundesliga, do you think you can get the top scorer in this Asian Games?" ”

Cheng Hai: "Of course I think so, but it also depends on the team's tactics, the cooperation of teammates, the opponent's defense, and how far our team can go. So, this can only be a vision goal, and for now we're going to think about the group qualification! ”

Reporter: "Do you have any secrets to growing from a college amateur player to a world-class goalscorer at the top of the Bundesliga scorer list in four months?" ”

Cheng Hai: "First of all, I'm still far from being a world-class shooter. It's not just a matter of scoring a few goals in a few games, it's the result of multiple competitions and years of accumulation. It's hard for anyone to be a world-class scorer if they only win one season, and I haven't won it yet. Also, I can't really say anything about the secret of success. Perhaps, as my coach Jurgen Klopp said, I am not so talented in football? ”

As soon as Cheng Hai's words came out, the scene suddenly burst into laughter.

Cheng Hai's talent is not only good, it is the top in world football!

Otherwise, why did Cheng Hai pass the trial as an amateur player and become the top scorer in the Dortmund team in just two or three months, and occupy the top position in the Bundesliga scorer list.

……

That night, the domestic media overwhelmingly reported the news of Cheng Hai's return to China and arrival in Yangcheng, and countless fans looked forward to the football match of the Asian Games.

In fact, the national Olympic team is a new U23 national Olympic team just formed, is the 2012 London Olympics of school-age players, except for a few people such as Wang Dalei, Zhang Linpeng everyone has a slight impression, the other players are almost all newcomers, fans few people can recognize.

Such a situation would have definitely led to low attendance on the court.

The Asian Games itself is not a competition for adult professional football, the football of the Asian Games is like Olympic football, itself is a competition for the U23 national Olympic team in the lower age group, and the attraction to fans is not as good as the adult national team games such as the World Cup, European Cup, and Champions League.

Coupled with the past reputation of the national football team, and the fact that there are no stars, even if it is a home stadium, there will not be too much attendance, and it is good to be able to fill half of the seats.

But when the news came out that Cheng Hai was selected for the National Olympic team and was about to return to China to participate in the Asian Games, domestic fans were suddenly boiling.

In the three group games in which Huaguo participated, tickets were sold out in just a few days, and there was not one left.

Cheng Hai, who ranks first in the Bundesliga scorer list and has made a name for himself in Europe, is really attractive to domestic fans.

And domestic fans are also very tired of all kinds of dull things in Chinese football, saying that they are tired and tired of watching, and they are angry when they mention the national football team.

But the appearance of Cheng Hai is like manna after a long drought, which makes everyone's eyes shine.

Cheng Hai did not debut from domestic football, did not be contaminated with the breath of domestic football, and played abroad for a few months, all of which were dazzling results, and there was no negative 'side' and 'new' news.

Therefore, the fans had a good impression of Cheng Hai, so they came from all over the country and bought all the tickets for several Asian Games U23-level games.

This is Cheng Hai's domestic debut and a welcome ceremony for Cheng Hai from domestic fans.

……

Following the assistant to the residence of the National Olympic team, Cheng Hai met the leaders of the Chinese delegation, the leaders of the National Olympic team, coaches, assistant coaches, assistants, team doctors, players and other personnel, and everyone welcomed Cheng Hai's arrival.

The leaders expressed extreme joy at Cheng Hai's return, because Cheng Hai's joining is the possibility of achieving better results on behalf of the National Olympic team.

And the players do not have any envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Because, Cheng Hai's achievements have surpassed many people's best expectations for themselves.

When they were still working hard for the team's main position and playing in the Chinese Super League, Cheng Hai had already secured the main position of the Bundesliga giants Dortmund and reached the top of the scorer list in the Bundesliga.

This is a height that even Yang Chen, the former first person to study abroad, has not reached.

Such a performance, even the first team of the national football team is unmatched, let alone the members of the national Olympic team.

Although Cheng Hai is the youngest of the National Olympic team, his achievements are impossible for anyone to achieve in a lifetime, or even close to each other.

At this height, the qualifications they had to join the team for training a few days earlier than Cheng Hai were useless at all.

Even many people took the initiative to talk to Cheng Hai, expressing their admiration for him and hoping that the national Olympic team would achieve good results under his leadership.

Some people have put Cheng Hai in the position of the leader and core of the national Olympic team.

It's a pity that Cheng Hai has a physical flaw and can't play the whole game, so he can't be the captain.

Otherwise, it is estimated that the captain of this National Olympic team is Cheng Hai.

The welcome party did not last long, because the leaders were worried that Cheng Hai would be tired from the long flight and jet lag.

In order to protect Cheng Hai's physical and mental state, everyone quickly dispersed.

may be afraid that there will be some accidents on the way and will not be able to come to the Asian Games, so it was not until the welcome meeting attended by the head of the Chinese delegation and other big leaders that Cheng Hai received a new task about the Asian Games issued by the system:

Mission 6: Asian Games Men's Football Champion

Requirements: Help the Huaguo U23 men's national football team win the men's football championship in the 2010 Yangcheng Asian Games

Success Reward: 100 Skill Points

……

Hearing the number of rewards read out by the system, Cheng Hai almost turned red.

100 skill points, all the same as the rewards of the League Cup champion, so how many skills can he add to the full value?

Cheng Hai is full of expectations for this.

At the same time, Cheng Hai was also a little puzzled.

After all, not to mention the Asian Games, the Asian Cup, the technical and tactical level and confrontation intensity cannot be compared with the League Cup, how can a mere Asian Games U23 men's football champion get a reward of 100 skill points?

Subsequently, Cheng Hai consulted the system, and the system gave him an answer.

It turns out that in the setting of the system, the honor won by wearing the national team jersey and fighting for the country is much higher than that of the club, which is to encourage players to play for the country and win glory for the country.

Cheng Hai was very excited about this.

Since the final championship rewards are so high, wouldn't there be very generous rewards for scoring goals, best on the spot, winning awards, final top scorers, best players of the tournament, etc.?

Originally, Cheng Hai only came with a sense of honor to serve the country, but now in addition to the sense of honor, he has a strong desire to win the game and increase his strength.

Of course, outsiders don't know about Cheng Hai's new tasks and communicating with the system.

After the meeting ended, the assistant took Cheng Hai to a dormitory, settled his luggage, and then took Cheng Hai to dinner, and then rested early.

Although Cheng Hai was not afraid of sleeping late, he didn't want to talk too much nonsense with these FA leaders, so he didn't raise any objections to resting so early.

He is willing to put on the national team jersey, fight for his country, and bring joy and victory to the lovely and pathetic fans.

However, the current situation and history of Chinese football make it difficult for him to have a good impression of the officials of the Football Association.

After a night's rest, on November 6, Cheng Hai participated in the joint training with his teammates in the National Olympic team for the first time.

Originally, everyone thought that Cheng Hai had gone through the match with Paris Saint-Germain, and then flew over half the world, and then had to reverse the jet lag, and his energy must not be very good, and it would take a few days to recover.

As a result, unexpectedly, Cheng Hai just rested for one night, and then he became energetic and had no problems.

This made everyone immediately convinced.

They felt that Cheng Hai had such a recovery ability, and it was also part of the talent given to Cheng Hai by God.

And that's just the beginning.

In the morning, there is nothing to see in the basic warm-up training and physical training, and Cheng Hai's physical fitness can even be called a weak chicken, but this is a weakness that the whole world knows, and it is not surprising.

After the technical and tactical drills of the team training match began in the afternoon, these young domestic players really saw the horror of Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai also came into contact with domestic professional players for the first time, and was also dumbfounded by the weakness of their technical and tactical level.

In the eyes of these domestic U23 teammates, Cheng Hai is average in height and size, but his physique is too terrifying, like a tank, whether they take the initiative to hit Cheng Hai or Cheng Hai hit them, they will suffer.

And the most important thing is Cheng Hai's ability to run without the ball, grab points, dribble, break through, etc., which makes them out of reach and unable to defend.

In a 45-minute training match, Cheng Hai, who practiced with his teammates for the first time, scored 5 goals, an average of 9 minutes, which made everyone on and off the field stunned.

You must know that this is the first time that Cheng Hai and his teammates have practiced together, and there is no tacit understanding at all.

Cheng Hai almost completely relied on his ability to grab points and break through to get a shot opportunity, and then hit it with one hit.

For these young players who can't even play in the Chinese Super League in China, Cheng Hai's strength is simply terrifying and unacceptable.

Cheng Hai's feelings for his teammates are also professional players, but these domestic teammates are a few light years away from Dortmund's teammates.

If it weren't for the fact that he was not familiar with his teammates on the first team, Cheng Hai would probably be able to score double-digit goals.

Training with these teammates, Cheng Hai has the feeling of adults and children training together.

Only then did Cheng Hai realize how high and outrageous his starting point was.

According to the normal trajectory of Chinese players, even if he stands out from the Grand Football Federation, he should first go to the domestic A or C team as a substitute for one or two years, conduct professional training, and find time for substitutes to play, and then after two or three years of training and progress, he can reach the level of the Chinese Super League and join the Chinese Super League team.

The next thing is to struggle in the Chinese Super League for a lifetime, only a very few players have the opportunity to train in Europe, and they are all downstream teams or teams in the secondary leagues of the five major leagues, and it is difficult for the giant teams to even get the opportunity to try, let alone sign a contract and join a European team after the trial.

Leaving aside those lesser-known minor league teams, Chinese players can join the five major league teams and get the opportunity to play, and they can count them on one hand.

Therefore, as soon as Cheng Hai finished the big football league game, he went to Dortmund for a trial and passed, and obtained a real professional contract, which is definitely a typical example of the peak of his debut!

Not to mention Huaguo, even in the world, it is estimated that it is difficult to find this kind of example of an 18-year-old who is still an amateur player, has no professional training, and joins the upstream giants of the five major leagues after signing for the first time.

Such a starting point is too high for Cheng Hai, and it immediately nourishes his vision, allowing him to suddenly return to China to train with these players who may not even be able to play in the top leagues in China, and there is a feeling of training with children.

No matter what it feels, training still needs to be trained, and the basic formation, running position, and requirements still need to be mentioned.

Otherwise, when Cheng Hai comes on the field and no one passes the ball to him, it will be bad.

Judging from the situation in training, as long as someone passes the ball to Cheng Hai, even if the opportunity is not good, Cheng Hai can solve the problem of the final breakthrough shot by himself.

Of course, the better Cheng Hai performed in training, the happier everyone was.

Isn't it to summon Cheng Hai to join the team, isn't it to borrow Cheng Hai's strength and make up for the regret of the National Olympic team's weakness?

As long as Cheng Hai solves the problem of the final shot, the prospects of the national Olympic team in this Asian Games are really worth looking forward to!

Of course, this is just the expectation of the coach and his teammates.

For Cheng Hai, through the strength of the National Olympic team, he can also estimate the strength of those opponents in the Asian Games, which is estimated to be stronger than the National Olympic team, but also limited, and it is definitely not comparable to the senior professional teams and professional players he met in Europe.

Perhaps, even if you are not familiar with your teammates, you can lead the national Olympic team to achieve good results in the Asian Games until you win the championship, complete task 6, and get a reward of 100 skill points.

After the first training, Cheng Hai's training experience was a bit beyond Cheng Hai's expectations, and the training experience in one day was only 300, which was less than one-third of Dortmund's daily training.

It seems that unlike the official competitions, which have national honor bonuses, the usual training experience is still distributed according to the strength of the team.

The daytime training is only 300, and the double reward for the night dream training is naturally only 600.

By the day of the competition, Cheng Hai's total experience was 60,400/1 million at level 20.

If you want to upgrade, Cheng Hai must work hard to score goals and lead the team to win in this event where the reward is equivalent to the League Cup!
