() Shancheng, Chongqing, which is the place where the national football team trained before the Asian Cup.

After defeating Malaysia in the World Preliminaries, the national football team members simply rested for a few days before gathering in Chongqing again.

After the meeting, Alihan told Tang Wu very frankly that the Chinese team needs a solid start.

Alihan actually wanted the national football players to play 433, but because many players were not very familiar with the tactical play of this lineup, they could only face the opponent with 442.

"I've watched your game and studied your video footage." Alihan put his arm around Tang Wu's neck and said in Dutch, "You are an offensive goalkeeper, and when we need to attack, it will be your time to make a difference!" ”

"No, Mr. Alihan." Tang Wu shook his head and said, "I'm a capable goalkeeper. And I think it's important that a defensive goalkeeper is in the attacking formation and an attacking goalkeeper is in the defensive formation. ”

"A goalkeeper? Ha ha! Alihan dodged the serious, "The Dutch team is outdated in attack and defense, and no team needs a scavenger to score!" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't think..."

Before Tang Wu could speak, he was interrupted by Ali Han.

"To the Chinese team, it's not up to you to have the final say, and it's not for me to have the final say. I think you know this better than I do. ”

"Okay, I see." Tang Wu replied helplessly.

Tang Wu knew that his debut in the opening game of the Asian Cup was in vain.

In fact, Alihan has seen it more thoroughly, although the national football team claims to have Hao Dacang, who has "Asia's No. 1 center", but neither his personal ability nor the overall technical and tactical level are at the forefront in Asia.

Physically, he can't fight for Iran and other West Asian teams, and technically he can't fight for the two old neighbors of Japan and South Korea. Even against group stage opponents such as Bahrain, Indonesia and Qatar, Alihan and the national football team have to be careful. With the historical record of the national football team, there is no shortage of overturned boats in the gutter.

Tang Wu also understands this very well.

After all, it is the first time for him to be selected for the national football team, and there must be no tacit understanding between other teammates. Alihan needs results, but only if he keeps his position so that he can create results.

What's more, the position of the goalkeeper is extremely special, if there is any accident if Tang Wu is rashly used to start, then the chain consequences after this Alihan will not be able to bear.

To put it bluntly, Tang Wu is just a newcomer to the national football team!

In this training camp, I will stay in Chongqing for half a month, and then fly to the capital to train until the start of the Asian Cup. In the meantime, the Football Association invited two national teams to play warm-up matches, playing Lebanon in Chongqing and playing the United Arab Emirates in Inner Mongolia. Although it is a bit of a toss-up, who makes China's territory bigger?

When Tang Wu checked out of the hotel and came to the players' dormitory with his luggage, Tang Wu found that his roommate was not Sun Taiyang, who was in the Premier League with him, nor his National Olympic teammates Yan Song and Sun Xiang, but a young player with a national character face and crisp hair.

This made Tang Wu a little embarrassed, because Tang Wu only watched some of the National Olympic games after being called up by the National Olympic Games, and in addition to a few familiar and particularly well-known players in the national football team, there were many people who did not know each other.

"Tang Wu?" Seeing Tang Wu enter the house, the roommate who was lying on the bed listening to 3 hurriedly took off the headset and reached out to pick up the trolley box in Tang Wu's hand.

"The feeling of bitter sand blowing on the face, like a father's scolding and mother's crying, will never be forgotten..."

The sound in the headset was very loud, and Tang Wu couldn't remember what the name of the song was for a while when he listened to this familiar song.

"Tang Wu, when will you return to the team? Come and sit here. The roommate enthusiastically put the trolley case aside and introduced Tang Wu into the room. I'm sorry, the team asks for only boiled water. ”

"Thank you." Tang Wu took the water and took a sip of the salute.

Tang Wu returned to China with a simple bag on his back, which contained Huanxi clothes. In addition to the goalkeeper's protective equipment, the trolley box contained gloves, which were sent from London during this period.

"Brother, you are also from the Northeast?" Tang Wu listened to his roommate's accent and asked curiously.

"Well, we two fellow countrymen, I'm also Shenyangdi! Why don't the coach share a dormitory for the two of us? ”

"No wonder that!" Tang Wu suddenly realized, and then guessed, "Brother, you are playing guard?" ”

"You kid, you can guess it!" My roommate said, "I do play as a defender, and the coach asked me to play as a central defender. But I played in midfield when I was in Shenzhen. ”

"I see!" Tang Wu nodded.

It's not that you can play in the national team in whatever position you play at the club, many people often play in positions they are not familiar with when they arrive in the national team. Some people soar into the sky, while others sink. Therefore, it is extremely important for the coach to have a pair of discerning eyes.

"I don't know my brother's surname..."Tang Wu asked with a wink.

"Ha, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself!" The roommate grinned and pointed to the English abbreviation on his chest, "My name is Zheng Zhi, you can just call me Xiao Zheng!" ”

"Oh! It turned out to be Brother Zheng! Tang Wu suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, I really didn't recognize it!" ”

Zheng Zhi is the Chinese Footballer of the Year in 02, which Tang Wu is still clear.

"Haha, what a doggy Mr. Footballer, that's all!" Zheng Zhi waved his hand and laughed at himself, "No one can recognize me, Mr. Football, walking outside." You are different, others will know at a glance that you are Tang Wu, a big star in the Premier League! ”

"Brother Zheng, don't be kidding! Of course, others will recognize this trait at a glance! Tang Wu stretched out his left hand and shook it, "It is estimated that the most famous six fingers in the world are me." ”

"Tang Wu, don't be modest, you are now the biggest 'wrist' on the team, even Brother Sun is not as good as you!"

'I was just lucky to catch Chelsea rising!' Tang Wu smiled, "This season's Chelsea four are empty, I don't know if the boss will want it next season!" ”

"Tang Wu, don't be presumptuous. The coach put me in the same room with you, so that I could learn from you the defensive skills and positioning philosophy of the European defence. Didn't I originally play as a midfielder, the coach insisted that I play as a central defender. He also said that I would learn more from you and you, and I don't know what he thinks. ”

"Out of the ball?" Tang Wu's eyes rolled, "Is the ball a central defender?" ”

"That's right, that's the word!" Zheng Zhi clapped his hands and laughed. "Originally, I wanted Brother Li (Li Tie) to kick, but Brother Li was injured, and in the end it could only be my turn. I still don't understand what a central defender is, so he said that you have a long pass and a good vision, just let me learn more from you. ”

"Learning is not about talking, it is about exploring." Tang Wu said modestly, "In fact, the central defender is very simple, that is, to dribble forward at the right time, and then look at the gap to attack directly." As long as these two items meet the standards, it will be fine. ”

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about!" Zheng Zhi scratched the back of his head with a distressed expression, "I'm better with the long pass, and I can almost mention the opponent's small forbidden area when the wind is down." But I don't know when to dribble forward and when to pass. ”

"That's no way, this has to be practiced in actual combat." Tang Wu also shrugged, "But don't see that the ball central defender needs to attack, but as a central defender, defense is the first priority." As for when the ball will be played, I'll tell you when we train together. ”

"Good! No problem! We have a video recorder, and we can watch the replay after training! Zheng Zhi looked happy, "The focus of my recent practice is also on defense, so you can rest assured that Tang Wu is defending this!" ”

"Oh? Then Brother Zheng, how about your tackle? If I could, I needed a helper who could tackle cleanly and decisively. ”

"Tackle?" After hearing this word, Zheng Zhi's face changed color, and then he said, "If you tackle the ball, there should be no problem..."

At this time, the music in the headset also sang**, "... He said that this pain in the wind and rain is nothing, wipe away your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams..."

"Oh! It turned out to be Mariner! Tang Wuxiao finally remembered the name of the song and whispered to himself. Then he suddenly thought of something, looked at Zheng Zhi on the side and exclaimed: "Brother Zheng, you won't shovel your opponent into Zheng Zhihua, right?" ”

Zheng Zhi: "..."
