Lu Zhenping said goodbye to the two of them quickly, he still has a lot of other work to do, but Lu Bin is very idle, the work of the TV station, he has rarely go, and now he has begun to contact some athletes in the sports world to be their agent, but except for Leng Fei, Lu Bin really hasn't found a few decent ones, of course, he has to take care of his big customers.

"Alas, it's a big star, Nima, I'm so tired from picking up someone at the airport for the first time...... By the way, Xiao Yuanzi, what do you think of this match against Iraq? Have faith? While driving, Lu Bin asked Leng Fei, who was sitting in the back seat.

After a long journey on the plane, and then spent a lot of energy dealing with the media, Leng Fei was a little tired, lying on the back seat very ungracefully, and did not answer Lu Bin's question directly, but asked: "Is this car not bad, when did you buy it?" ”

"Last month...... Hey, I'm asking you! Lu Bin shouted.

"What's the problem?" Leng Fei raised his head and looked at Lu Bin through the reflector.

"Forget it, it's nothing, you can rest for a while, I'll take you to the training base." Lu Bin turned on the music, and then drove the car intently.

When I arrived at the Xianghe National Training Base, it was already 4 p.m., a little later than the scheduled reporting time, and strictly speaking, it was already considered late.

In the locker room, most of the players have already arrived, Leng Fei is the latest one, and some people can't help but start muttering about Leng Fei playing big names, and he will be angry if he has some achievements.

At this time, Leng Fei finally arrived.

Camacho stood in front of the players and turned his head to look at Leng Fei: "Why are you late?" ”

Camacho didn't speak much Chinese, so he simply communicated with Leng Fei in English, and Leng Fei answered truthfully: "I was delayed at the airport." ”

Camacho asked a few more words, and then temporarily let go of Leng Fei's tardiness, in fact, Leng Fei was not the first to be late, two days ago for the first time to assemble for training, only 13 players arrived on time, and the rest of the players did not arrive at the first time because of various problems, and the current game is also interspersed in the league, at this time, it is not good to waste the players' physical energy at will, what punishment to make, Camacho took the team to the field, for simple physical recovery training.

The facilities here, although they are training facilities used by the national team, but I have to say that compared to the Kearney training base, it is still more than one level worse, and the quality of the turf is not very good.

The training has not yet begun, in a period of preparation time, Leng Fei briefly got to know the national team, Leng Fei is completely unfamiliar, the members of the national youth team who were selected last year, so far only they have entered the national team logically, and Wu Lei, the most promising national youth team player at that time, has not yet entered Camacho's eyes.

Among these players, captain Li Weifeng was the first to communicate with Leng Fei, and then Leng Fei chatted with Artemisia Junmin, Zhang Chengdong, Huang Bowen, Zhang Linpeng and several other people for a while, Leng Fei is the youngest player in this national team (20 years old), so naturally he chatted with several young players, and among these people, Leng Fei was not more concerned about captain Li Weifeng, but Artemisia Junmin, the Chinese player who was still in the Bundesliga giant Schalke 04 last season, although he was returned by Schalke 04, But it is undeniable that he is still one of the best players in China in addition to Leng Fei, in fact, if there is a little luck and coincidence in this world, Leng Fei and Hao Junmin may even become opponents in the Premier League, and after the termination of the contract with Schalke 04, Wigan Athletic once wanted to bring the Chinese wide player to the DW Stadium, but in the end the matter was over.

After a while, the training officially began, and the players all ran to the training ground for physical recovery training, and Leng Fei also followed the players.

November 11, Singles' Day.

Leng Fei got up in the morning, picked up his mobile phone and called his agent Lu Bin: "Hey, Lu Bin?" ”

"Well, what's wrong, what's the matter? Call me so early? And you're taking a long distance, right? Lu Bin seemed to have just gotten up, and he yawned with his mouth open.

"yes, but there's nothing special about it, I'm here to wish you a happy holiday."

"Happy Holidays?" Lu Bin was stunned for a moment and looked at the calendar: November 11th, Singles' Day? Lu Bin reacted, this kid is here to laugh at his lack of girlfriend!

"You kid, don't underestimate people!" Lu Bin was speechless angrily, in fact, he also wanted to refute, but he really couldn't find any excuse to refute, and he did not have a girlfriend.

"Haha, just kidding." Leng Fei said with a smile.

Lu Bin wiped his sweat and said, "Come on, I have to get up, I'll talk about it later." ”

Today, the Asian qualifiers Iraq played against China at home, in the last game, after Iraq defeated China 1-0, Iraq's prospects for qualifying are bright, and then they play against Singapore, the weakest group in the group, to win basically no pressure, and then they can qualify in advance, even if they lose to Jordan in the last round, it will not hurt, so in this game, Iraq will definitely go all out.

And Leng Fei is about to make his national team debut in such a life-and-death battle.

The two-day training camp made Leng Fei feel the strength of Chinese football...... It's too weak, even if the cooperation is poor, the key is that this group of players don't work hard at all, for example, when two people have an equal chance of getting the ball, in addition to the factors of personal speed and physical strength, it depends on the individual's hard work, and the more energetic players, the chance of getting the ball is greater, and Leng Fei and his teammates in the process of fighting in training, Leng Fei can always get the ball, he is not a defender, but he has a kind of hard work that does not admit defeat, in the game against Chelsea, The stunning strike was a testament to his refusal to admit defeat, and he could have given up and kept an important shot sight instead of gambling on seemingly unlikely opportunities, but he did it anyway.

Leng Fei, who was originally quite confident, began to doubt this trip to Iraq, the memory of his previous life, China lost 1:0 again at the feet of Iraq in this game, Leng Fei felt that there was no chance to win in Iraq in this life, but seeing this scene, Leng Fei also began to doubt, is it possible?

In the past two days, Leng Fei's tacit understanding with his teammates is not good enough, the only thing that makes Leng Fei feel more comfortable to cooperate is the former Schalke 04 winger Hao Junmin, in the training match, he scored a lot of goals, many of which were assists from Leng Fei, but Leng Fei himself rarely scored goals in the training match, which made many teammates begin to mumble, this China's No. 1 superstar is really not worthy of the name!

Camacho also saw Leng Fei's performance, he is not a player, such a good performance at Arsenal is definitely not blindfolded, but it also benefits from Arsenal's relatively strong lineup, although Leng Fei's individual combat ability is not weak, but when he arrived at Arsenal, Leng Fei began to reduce his individual performances and began to cooperate with the surrounding teams, and there are few people in the Chinese team who can cooperate with Leng Fei, and it is natural that the performance is not good.

The national team's bus drove to the Arla Stadium in Doha, ready to challenge the host here, Iraq.

Before the game, Iraq gathered a large number of local media and Chinese media, reporters from both sides also broke out outside the stadium A war broke out, of course, not a war on the fist, not a war on the field, but a war on the lips, until the team came to the stadium, the battlefield immediately calmed down, and flocked to the team bus, although it is Iraq's home field, but there are a lot of Chinese media, in addition to today's life and death battle, it is also known as "China's first star" Leng Fei's national team debut, The people of the whole country hope that Leng Fei can lead the national team to qualify for the top 20 and save a little hope for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

With 20 minutes to go, the Chinese team arrived at the scene, causing a commotion among Chinese reporters, especially when Leng Fei stepped out of the car with his teammates, and the flashing lights turned on.

"Leng Fei! Cold Fly! Tell us a little bit about what you think of the game! ”

"Leng Fei! Are you nervous about making your national team debut in this game where you have to win? ”

"Leng Fei! Are you confident in this game? ”

"Here! Over here! Cold Fly...... What do you think of the Chinese team's chances of winning this game? ”

"......" It is worth noting that none of these media asked Leng Fei the question "Will you play", because they felt that there was no need to ask this question, and they believed that it was impossible for Camacho not to use Leng Fei at such a critical moment.

Leng Fei faced so many questions from the media, it was impossible to answer all of them at once, he tried to answer a few of the more representative questions as concisely as possible, and then, Camacho stood up and told the media that the game was about to start, and he needed to get all his players into the locker room, and the media let Leng Fei go.

In the locker room, the players were busy with their own things, Leng Fei didn't talk to others, he put on headphones, listened to music to relax, he actually saw that in this locker room, he was not the popular type, maybe he was too prominent, although he didn't deliberately want to highlight himself, but just now, when he got off the car, Leng Fei naturally became the most eye-catching one, teammates may be very unhappy, a newcomer, became the boss, Coupled with Leng Fei's unoutstanding performance on the training ground, I believe few people are convinced.

Camacho walked into the locker room and announced today's starting lineup, Leng Fei as the left midfielder, the right midfielder is Hao Junmin, the middle is Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri and Liu Jian form a double back, Zhang Linpeng, Sun Xiang fullback, captain Li Weifeng and Liu Jianye central defender, goalkeeper Yang Zhi, Gao Lin single arrow.

After arranging the tactics and lineup, Camacho called Leng Fei to his side.

"Kim, how do you feel about training these days?" Camacho asked, "Tell me the truth." ”

Leng Fei shrugged: "It's not good, it's hard to cooperate with your teammates." ”

Camacho nodded: "In this game, you use your ability to break through the opponent's defense, and if you can't cooperate with your teammates, you can do it yourself, and if you have a chance, you can pass the ball again." ”

Leng Fei nodded, Camacho is undoubtedly excellent as a player, but as a head coach, he really doesn't dare to compliment, as a football coach whose annual salary ranks ninth in the world, the Chinese Football Association has contributed a lot of water, look at his achievements as a head coach, the championship is only one Portuguese Cup, there is nothing worth flashing, Leng Fei concluded from this conversation between him and himself that Camacho is not destined to be an excellent head coach, and put his words bluntly, that is: " I don't think this team has much future, and you're the strongest, so we have to rely on you. ”

Anyway, he is currently his own coach, not to mention that Leng Fei himself feels that he can't cooperate much better with these teammates, Leng Fei nodded and said, "I know, sir." ”

Leng Fei used Spanish, Camacho was a little surprised, but he also heard that Leng Fei was a language genius, so he didn't ask too much, and patted Leng Fei on the shoulder: "Come on." He said Chinese, Leng Fei looked at him, smiled and nodded.

"This is the 2014 Brazil World Cup, the fourth game of Group A of the Asian Qualifiers Top 20, Iraq vs. China, the national football team suffered two consecutive defeats before this, and the qualifying situation has been very crisis, this game, if we can't win, we basically bid farewell to Brazil, but there is good news in this game, Leng Fei, who plays for Arsenal, will make his national team debut in this game, so that this game, the fans feel hope, well, the game has begun......" Huang Jianxiang served as the commentator of the game, The guest was former international Xu Yang.

Carrying the expectations of hundreds of millions of people, Leng Fei, wearing the No. 7 jersey, appeared in the broadcast camera, the game had just begun, and the Iraqi live broadcaster gave Leng Fei a positive close-up, telling his players that this is the enemy general, a master who came out of the battle after retreat and practice, in the last game, he was not there, Iraq's goal was not breached, this time, Iraq must be careful.

Before the TV, Leng Fei's expression was very serious, this game was a real test for him......

………………………………………………………………………

Time passed minute by minute, in the twenty-first minute, Hao Junmin entered the penalty area, passed back, Leng Fei interspersed with the middle, shot from a distance, Iraqi goalkeeper Al-Qahid barely saved, the ball changed the line slightly, but still failed to prevent the ball from entering the net, 1:0!

"The ball is in!!" Huang Jianxiang slapped the table, looking very excited, "Leng Fei!! In the 21st minute, the twenty-first minute of his national team debut, he scored his first goal! ”

At this time, the entire Shenzhou continent was jubilant, and the Chinese fans who came to watch the game were even more crazy, holding a photo of Leng Fei or Arsenal's No. 27 jersey and waving wildly, they saw a glimmer of hope.

In the first half, the score of 1:0 remained until the end of the half, and at halftime, the fans maintained an optimistic attitude, believing that there was a great hope that this game could be won.

At the beginning of the second half, in the eighth minute of the second half, the goddess of victory seemed to be one step closer to the national football team, Leng Fei followed Camacho's instructions, singled out the entire Iraqi backline, entered the penalty area, was put down by defender Hussein, and the referee awarded a penalty.

Zheng Zhi is the first penalty taker of the national football team, he stood in front of the ball, faced Cased, took a deep breath, one step, two steps, three steps, and the penalty was issued!

The ball grazed the crossbar and flew towards the fan stands behind the goal, Zheng Zhi's eyes widened, and the penalty kick flew away?

This time, the Iraqi fans became the protagonists, they wantonly laughed at Zheng Zhi who missed the penalty, and then cheered for their team, the penalty did not score, but it has a great impact on the morale of a team, and the Iraqi fans know this.

Sure enough, less than five minutes after the penalty kick flew away, the national football team lost the ball, Zhao Xuri made a return pass mistake in the field, Iraqi captain Younis broke the ball, ran 20 meters wildly, and went directly to the penalty area, facing Yang Zhi with a strong shot, 1:1!

After that, the two sides set off an offensive frenzy, 77 minutes, the Chinese team won a free kick in front, on the left side, Leng Fei took the penalty, the ball smashed the post, confiscated by Kahid, this goal is very threatening, almost about to score, but the post still blocked the shot.

In the 90th minute, Iraqi defender Hussam assisted to the front of the field with a cross, their captain Younis came out of the crowd, header the goal, Yang Zhi made a full save, Iraq 2:1 China!

In the last minute of injury time, Leng Fei, who had already fought the whole game, dragged his tired body all the way to the long run, almost forming a single knife, Iraqi defender Shakir fiercely tackled Leng Fei, the referee gave a red card to expel Shakir from the game, and the last free kick opportunity, Leng Fei stood up and took the penalty, a wonderful arc went around the human wall, but hit the side net! This goal, many Chinese fans on the side looked like they thought it was a goal, but in fact it was not scored, and the referee announced the end of the game at this time.

The moment the whistle sounded, the whole of China fell into silence......

The moment the whistle blew, there was silence on the pitch, and of course, the opponent unceremoniously celebrated the hard-won victory, while on the other side of the pitch, the red had fallen silent.

Who is to blame for losing? This is a very common problem in Chinese football, if you lose, you must find someone to be responsible, who will come? In fact, this kind of responsibility is not something that can be borne by one person, some people may say that the head coach has the greatest responsibility, but in fact, these are the responsibilities of the whole team.

After the game, although Leng Fei scored a goal, the opponent scored two goals in a row or overshadowed Leng Fei's national team debut and debut.

After the game, the news media lamented that if you want to qualify, you must win the next two games, not to mention, and you must pray that Iraq will lose both games to qualify, but now it seems that it is unlikely, and some media sadly assert that China has become the first team in the world to prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

A few days later, the national team travelled to Singapore to take on the weakest opponent in the group, a match earlier in Group A, followed by Iraq's match against Jordan.

In this game, the national football team seemed to feel that there was no play in qualifying, and without any baggage, they achieved a hearty 4:0 victory, but unfortunately, this victory came too late, and the Jordan vs Iraq game held a little later, Iraq defeated Jordan 3:1, and the national football team officially bid farewell to Brazil.

In this game, Leng Fei returned to his style of play at Arsenal, assisted Hao Junmin in the sports battle, assisted Li Weifeng in a free kick, and gained two assists.

After this game, the national team was disbanded directly, although it achieved a big victory, but it was eliminated in the group stage in advance, so that the team was not in a good mood, Leng Fei did not want to stay in this depressing environment for a long time, after the team was disbanded, Leng Fei took a plane back to China, in fact, he could have flown directly to London, the team's required registration time was the 17th, and there could be a day of rest in the middle, Leng Fei chose to go home.

Because the team was eliminated, the outside world is indispensable to criticize Leng Fei, thinking that he did not play at the level he should have in Arsenal in the first game against Iraq, although there are such remarks, but there are many fans who support Leng Fei, they think that Leng Fei has just put on the national team jersey, and there is a goal, if the luck is better, he may even lead the team to defeat Iraq, if this performance is not good, then dare to ask which of the Chinese football players in that game played better than him?

Leng Fei doesn't know much about the arguments in the outside world, sometimes, some rational fans will make him feel happy, but there are always some NCs, which will make him feel very painful, although the team was eliminated, but Leng Fei asked himself that his performance was still relatively good, and in the case of not cooperating well with his teammates, it is already very good to be able to play this kind of result.

Back in China, Leng Fei accepted an interview with the media, in the face of the media's question of Leng Fei's thoughts on the team's defeat this time, Leng Fei said: "We should be eliminated, aside from the level of strength, the team itself has a lot of problems, in the key game, I don't know where our fighting spirit is, against Iraq, I scored a goal, but other than that we have no bright spots, and then against Singapore, we won, this game, in fact, does not have much meaning, But we won by a big margin, and it was like it was predestined, and I couldn't understand it. ”

Leng Fei's words have changed several times in different media, and the headline in some media is Leng Fei: In the first battle in Iraq, except for my teammates, I didn't give anything. Some are cold flights: we will only win some inconsequential games, incomprehensible. Some are cold flying: our strength is too poor, and elimination is a matter of course. The more extreme is Leng Fei: against Iraq, the team is scattered, I have no support at all, etc., etc.

These remarks will not arouse the disgust of his teammates, and Leng Fei will not care too much, because after the next home game with Jordan, because Brazil has been eliminated from the World Cup, there will be no official matches for a long time in the future, that is to say, in the entire 2012, only one World Cup qualifier against Jordan is an official game, a game that has no meaning.
