On January 8, Jiang Chenxi, who had just arrived in Brisbane, participated in about half an hour of training, which was not a big training, and the Premier League's number one star could not hide the exhaustion on his face.

"Jiang Chenxi is too tired."

"yes, it's all the time."

Chinese reporters and fans at the scene sighed.

Just finished playing the FA Cup match with AFC Wimbledon, the next day, Jiang Chenxi traveled a long distance from London and 'flown for 25 hours' to the distant Australian continent.

The next day, fans and media came to the Brisbane Roar Training Centre again, which is also the training base for Australian Super League side Brisbane Roar Club, which the Chinese team rented for training.

Fans and reporters who arrived at the training base were stopped outside the training base, and they were told that the Chinese team would start training behind closed doors from today.

"What the hell?"

"We want to see Jiang Chenxi!"

"Don't close the training in the morning, don't close the training in the evening, Jiang Chenxi is here to do this!"

Some fans and reporters at the scene complained, especially in Australia, and reporters who had already arrived from England, Italy and other continents were even more dissatisfied.

They came especially for Jiang Chenxi, otherwise, they would have come to cover the Asian Cup with enough food.

In the football continental competition, the Asian Cup is the weakest in terms of influence and attention, even compared to the Africa Cup of Nations.

However, this time, because of Jiang Chenxi, mainstream European media, including "The Times", "The Guardian", "Milan Sport", "Kicker", "Team Newspaper" and "Marca", have sent reporters to Australia to report on the Asian Cup, more precisely to follow and report on the Chinese team.

Especially when the 2014 FIFA World Footballer of the Year Awards ceremony was less than a week away, Jiang Chenxi's attention was unprecedented.

There is no doubt that the Chinese team announced a closed training, which made the fans, especially the media, very dissatisfied, but no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had no choice.

Thousands of miles to Australia to watch the Asian Cup, Chinese fans who want to get close to Jiang Chenxi are also unhappy.

However, despite the unhappiness, the fans did not act aggressively, and they expressed their understanding of the closed training of the national team.

"Previously, I scoffed at the Chinese team's frequent so-called closed training, and who in the whole of Asia doesn't know about the situation and details of the Chinese team? However, this time, I raised my hands in approval. Why did the Chinese team not have closed training before, and the warm-up match was also open? Because we have nothing to hide, no secrets to speak of. However, now it's different, Jiang Chenxi is here! The Chinese team with Jiang Chenxi and the Chinese team without Jiang Chenxi are two teams! Now, the closed training camp of the Chinese team believes that it will make the opponents of the Chinese team very anxious, the Chinese team is not kind, the big baby is back, it is arrogant, close the door and enjoy it yourself......"

This article by well-known journalist Zhong Dajun has been widely spread among fans, and many media have also reprinted it.

Some Chinese fans who were also very dissatisfied were 'suddenly', I see.

That's right.

We have Jiang Chenxi now, we are different!

Of course, you have to close the door to keep other peeps out.

……

"The Chinese team trained behind closed doors and couldn't observe anything at all." The leader of the Saudi team, Al Haeid, spread his hands and complained.

"Cunning Chinese." The new head coach of the Saudi team, Kosmin, frowned, and he pointed to his laptop and said, "We have studied so many games of the Chinese team, and it is basically useless." ”

"Jiang Chenxi also participated in the two warm-up matches of the Chinese team in October last year, which should be valuable." Hussein, assistant coach of the Saudi team, said.

Kosmin rubbed his temples depressedly, he didn't know how useful the video of the two warm-up games was, but it was better than nothing.

Kosmin's predecessor, Spaniard Carlo was sacked because of the Gulf Cup final loss to Qatar, Kosmin had been coaching domestic clubs in Saudi Arabia for a long time, so the Saudi Football Association urgently hired Kosmin to coach the national team, hoping that Kosmin could use his coaching experience in Saudi Arabia to help the team after coaching the team.

However, in the most recent warm-up game that ended earlier, the Saudi team lost 0-2 to South Korea, and in fact, the scene was far worse than the score reflected, which also put Kosmin under a lot of pressure now.

For the Saudi team, the first game of the group stage against the Chinese team is very important, and if they cannot score points against the 'relatively weak' Chinese team, it will become difficult for the Saudi team to qualify from the group.

Of course, this 'relatively weak strength' refers to the Chinese team without Jiang Chenxi, and now, the Premier League's number one star has returned to the team, how can Kosmin not be afraid?

"Jiang is tired now, maybe this will be our chance." Assistant coach Hussein said.

"I hope so." Mr. Cosmin said, in a tone less certain.

……

On January 9, after dinner, the whole Chinese team held a meeting at the hotel, which was also the pre-war mobilization meeting.

The leader of the Chinese national team first delivered an impassioned speech, encouraging everyone to play well, and at the same time urging everyone not to have baggage, to play style, to play their own style, to believe in themselves, because hundreds of millions of fans are watching you, don't let the fans down.

Jiang Chenxi sat in his seat, shaking his head slightly in his heart, hundreds of millions of fans were watching, don't let the fans down, and then said don't have baggage......

Subsequently, the head coach of the national team, Perrin, spoke about the tactics of the game for the last time before the game.

However, to be honest, Peilan's confidence is not too much, in Peilan's view, the biggest enemy of the Chinese team is time, his biggest enemy is also time, there is too little time left for him, the biggest problem of the Chinese team at present is the run-in problem, which is the run-in problem between other players of the Chinese team and Jiang Chenxi.

Jiang Chenxi's strength is much higher than that of other players, which seems to be a good thing, but it is not the case, the more obvious the gap, the more difficult it is to pinch the whole team together.

Pei Lan believes that as long as he gives himself time, he is confident that the current Chinese team will be built more outstanding with Jiang Chenxi as the core, but it is a pity that not long after he took over the Chinese team, he caught up with the Asian Cup, and the time was too tight.

What comforted him was that during the national team match day at the end of last year, Jiang Chenxi practiced with the whole team and played two warm-up games, Jiang Chenxi and his teammates still had the basis of cooperation, as long as they played normally, it was still possible to win the Saudi team.
