Zhen Shaolong is indeed the nuclear weapon of the national team, as long as he plays, he is very deterrent, enough to disrupt the opponent's layout in an instant, and even make the opponent 'ignore' the players of other national teams, thinking that as long as he can keep him, it will be a victory.

Not to mention the Chinese national team, it is the same in Real Madrid club, every opponent in La Liga and the Champions League will make detailed arrangements for him, otherwise there is no hope of victory at all.

Of course.

The vast majority of arrangements also proved to be ineffective.

Perhaps the example of nuclear-weapons is close here, most of the time, the opponent of nuclear-weapons can only be nuclear-weapons, and it is difficult for conventional weapons to catch up with no matter how powerful they are.

Zhen Shaolong has no consciousness as a nuclear-weapon, he is not arrogant when he returns to the national team, but he gets along well with everyone, not watching football, he is usually very kind, and he will be very respectful and polite to everyone.

Most people in the national team also have a good impression of Zhen Shaolong, especially those young and marginal players, they feel that Zhen Shaolong is much easier to get along with than all the old international players, has no arrogance, treats things very peacefully, and does not averse to promising some things.

For example, Hao Lin has always wanted to play abroad, and he talked to Zhen Shaolong about it.

Zhen Shaolong felt that Hao Lin's idea was good, and promised, "When you think about it and can't find the team to contact me, I will contact some clubs and recommend to them for you to go for a trial." ”

This matter couldn't be simpler for Zhen Shaolong.

Although Zhen Shaolong has no contact with most ordinary clubs, as long as he speaks in person, the clubs in the European League will generally give him some 'face'.

If it is a normal trial application, any club will carry out a certain degree of screening. In fact, the trial training is similar to the meaning of the company's recruitment, some interviewers with low education and insufficient work experience may be thrown into the trash, but there are people in the industry to do the middleman, it doesn't matter if there is a resume or not, the company will definitely look at the face of the industry insiders and give the candidates a chance, because there is no harm to them in having one more interviewer.

The same goes for the rest of your teammates.

Zhen Shaolong is not averse to helping them recommend clubs, and there is no harm to him, for professional football players, going to the highly competitive league in Europe to develop is indeed beneficial to their own improvement.

Of course.

Just lip service.

The success of the trial still depends on his own efforts and strength, and it is impossible for him to help.

In his daily life, Zhen Shaolong's performance is also very approachable, he will chat with his teammates about gossip and the world, such as some older players, who may feel confused about the future: what can you do if you don't play?

This is a problem that every professional footballer faces.

Zhen Shaolong will also talk about this matter, "I know some retired people who will go to further study, either to get a coaching certificate, or to study at a university. Others go to be investors, or broadcast guests, or change careers to become stars, of course, the premise is to have a certain influence. ”

Zheng Zhi asked with interest, "Shaolong, have you thought about it?" What do you have to do? ”

"Me?" Zhen Shaolong thought for a while, "If I can maintain my popularity, I still want to continue to be an endorsement, and then lie at home and count the money......"

"Hahaha......"

The teammates next to him all laughed, and several people followed suit, "My dream is the same as yours." ”

"I want to do that too."

Zhen Shaolong said what he said from his heart, because he had never thought about retirement, and it was too early for him to retire.

Others......

All right.

Although it is not appropriate to say this, it is difficult for them to make much money by virtue of their popularity now, let alone after they actually retire.

Of course.

The topic is still coming back to football.

Zhen Shaolong has only followed the national team for a day and a half of training, and he is about to usher in the game with Lebanon, but the head coach Duisevich is not worried, he and Gao Hongbo worked out the tactical formation of 4231, and the formation is mainly placed on the solid defense of the double back.

In addition, one of the most important aspects of this formation is that the single striker attracts enough attention.

This position belongs to Zhen Shaolong.

Duisevich and Gao Hongbo formulated this style of play, and also referred to Pellegrini's 'failure experiment', Pellegrini has always hoped to play 4231, so that Kaka, C-Ronaldo and Zhen Shaolong, start together and play in the right position, but the final result of the change failed, Kaka and C-Ronaldo's cooperation is too poor, Zhen Shaolong's role is good, but the three forwards have no effect, the offensive ability, the ability to support the front line are too poor, and the defense on the side is not very stable, It's better to play 442 steadily.

The situation of the Chinese national team is different, they don't need to let the squad play that much, the most important goal is to defend solidly, and it is quite good to be able to do it.

Dujshevic will not be constrained by the main players, among all the players of the Chinese national team, except for Zhen Shaolong, no one can say that it is the absolute main force, and those who are not suitable for the formation can play as substitutes, or simply do not enter the call-up list, the range of Chinese professional players is not much, but there is no problem in forming a national team of more than 20 people.

Soon.

The game is coming.

In the afternoon, before the national team prepared to travel, they were interviewed by CCTV, Arab News and Lebanese state television.

Zhen Shaolong is the main interview subject, and the information officer's assignment is to let him answer four questions in detail, two of which are interviewed by CCTV reporters, and reporters from the other two TV stations have the opportunity to ask questions once.

The interview with CCTV was related to the game, and Zhen Shaolong said bluntly, "I don't know about the Lebanese team, but there should be no problem, right?" I see that my team-mates are confident that Lebanon should not be too strong and I believe that in the end we will win. ”

The second question is related to the Asian Cup, Zhen Shaolong said, "I am a little looking forward to the Asian Cup, in fact, I have not helped the national team to play in a major competition, the Asian Cup is a good opportunity." ”

The Arab News interview was very jumpy, and even asked him if he would join Manchester City, perhaps because Manchester City was invested by a UAE consortium, and they were very concerned about Zhen Shaolong's whereabouts, "I haven't received any news about this." It's not for me to decide whether to join Manchester City, as you know the contract, it's a matter for both clubs and all I have to do is honour the contract. ”

Lebanese state television's questions were also very jumpy, they didn't seem to care about the game, but cared about Zhen Shaolong's views on Lebanon.

"It's a beautiful place, Beirut is beautiful, but ...... How so? Zhen Shaolong hesitated but said, "I met a Lebanese on the plane, he said that he lives in Beirut, but he doesn't know the game between the Lebanese team and the Chinese team at all, I think we should use wonderful football to make more people like football." ”

Zhen Shaolong also talked about the headache of the Lebanese Football Association.

Over the past few decades, football has gained tremendous popularity all over the world.

Lebanon is not too small a country, with a population of more than six million, and a per capita GDP of more than $7,300 in 2008, which cannot be said to reach the level of developed countries, but compared to China's $3,800 in the same period, we know that the standard of living is still very good.

Lebanon is still at the crossroads of Asia and Africa, not far from the European continent, and half of the population is open to Christianity than traditional Arab countries.

According to normal logic, Lebanon should be a football country, and there will definitely be a lot of fans.

However, the opposite is true.

There are few people who like football in this country, most people look at football as if they are irrelevant affairs, let alone spend money to watch football, more than 6 million people support the twelve clubs, but there are not many people watching the league to watch the football, the club operation mostly relies on the interest of the rich to invest, most of the players are also local players, because most clubs are in a state of long-term loss, and the clubs that have won consecutive domestic league championships are no exception, and there is no money to buy excellent players.

Now for the match with the Chinese team, the Lebanese Football Federation has come up with a way to promote football.

However, the consent of the person in question is required.

When Zhen Shaolong had just arrived at the hotel, an official from the Lebanese Football Association came to ask if he could use his fame to promote the game.

Of course.

Zhen Shaolong had no reason to refuse, and it was in the mouth of this official that he knew more about the Lebanese football situation before he said that in front of reporters.

The Chinese national team has always been a training ground and a hotel, and when the game is really about to start, they took the bus to the Beirut Municipal Stadium, only to find that there are many advertisements on both sides of the street, Zhen Shaolong's promotional posters can not be said to be everywhere, but the frequency of seeing them is too high.

When they arrived at the Beirut Municipal Stadium, they saw a 10-meter-high poster hanging in front of the main gate, which marked the upcoming game, which almost meant, "The Lebanese team and the Chinese team are about to play, and the Chinese team has the world's No. 1 star - Zhen Shaolong. ”

“……”

Zhen Shaolong felt a little speechless.

The teammates in the bus immediately quipped, "I don't think this is an Asian Cup qualifier, but an exhibition match for Brother Zhen!" ”

"The Lebanese Football Association is really shameless!"

"They would do this in order to get fans to buy tickets to enter! Brother Zhen, no fees? ”

Zhen Shaolong said with some regret, "It seems that I agreed?" At the time, I didn't know what it meant, but it was just a contest, and if I knew they were doing it, I would definitely ask for a portion of the portrait fee! ”

The discussion was very hot.

The Lebanese Football Association's approach also made them feel very relaxed, feeling as if they were not here to play regular games, but to participate in the 'exhibition match' for Zhen Shaolong as a foil.

By the time everyone entered the locker room, changed their clothes and warmed up, no one mentioned any more 'charges'.

The football environment in Lebanon is really miserable!

Even if the Lebanese Football Federation tried hard to publicize it, not many fans bought tickets to enter, and by the time the warm-up was over, the fans were basically finished, and the seats were not one-tenth full, while the Beirut Municipal Stadium only had more than 10,000 seats.

In fact.

The Beirut Municipal Stadium is surrounded by large residential buildings, and many people simply watch the game from their balconies, and a glance at the surrounding area almost shows that there are many more people on the balcony than in the stands.

Of course.

Still not much.

However, on the balconies of nearby residential buildings, you can vaguely see some female fans, not like the surrounding stands, which are basically male fans, and occasionally extremely rare women, who are also very tightly covered, and their bodies and faces are covered with black cloth.

Zhen Shaolong finally understood the words of the Arab uncle on the plane, "I will support you on the balcony at home!" ”
