In the hotel where the Chinese team stayed, Fu Bo met Gao Zheng.

He was delighted: "I didn't work with you at Under-22, I didn't expect to meet you in the national team. ”

Fu Bo had coached the Under-22s in 2011, but 22 had no idea that the talented striker of the former national junior team had returned to football.

Fu Bo's U22 was originally intended to participate in the first U22 Asian Youth Championship, but later because the Football Association had to prepare for the Rio Olympics in advance, the U22 was disbanded, and the U19 replaced the U22 to participate in the U22 Asian Youth Championship last year.

If the U22 continues to exist, Fu Bo will definitely recruit Gao Zheng into the team.

As a result, he ended up as Camacho's assistant coach.

Originally, Fu Bo's tenure was only eight days, and he stepped down after leading the Chinese team to the East Asian Cup.

However, due to his excellent performance in the East Asian Cup, the Football Association extended his acting coach contract.

Now he is tasked with leading the Chinese team through the remaining four Asian Cup qualifiers.

Some domestic media have expressed concern and dissatisfaction with this decision. They think that it is too difficult to let someone with little ability like Fu Bo be the head coach of the national team and give him the task of qualifying for the Asian Cup.

They are not optimistic about Fu Bo, who is neither capable nor famous.

As for Fu Bo's performance in the East Asian Cup, they also think that it is not good, but after losing 1:5 to Thailand, everyone's requirements for the team's performance have dropped to the lowest in history, so they feel that the East Asian Cup runner-up led by Fu Bo is a good result.

If you want to say that Fu Bo is under pressure?

There must be, and it's not small.

The domestic doubts about him have not stopped, and the most important thing is that if the Chinese team fails to participate in the Asian Cup under his leadership, then his life will not be easy.

Since its first participation in the Asian Cup in 1976, China has not missed nine consecutive Asian Cups, and if this tradition is broken in his hands, it will be difficult for him to explain to the Football Association and Chinese fans.

At this moment, Gao Zheng can return to China to compete, which is of course a good thing for him.

So after seeing Gao Zheng, he seemed very happy.

"I also heard what you said in an interview at the airport, and I think you're right. Actually, I'm a little worried right now that our players are going to underestimate ......"

Gao Zheng was a little surprised: "Still underestimate the enemy? No way? I don't think I'm qualified to underestimate the level of the national team. ”

Fu Bo smiled bitterly: "I just have this kind of worry, after all, Indonesia is the weakest team in the group." If everyone thinks so, it could be dangerous. That's why I think what you said at the airport was very good and a wake-up call for everyone in advance. It's a game that can't afford to lose, and if we can't beat Indonesia away from home, we'll be passive against Saudi Arabia and Iraq. ”

"I'll do my best." Gao Zheng nodded. Of course, there is no reason to preserve his strength to play for his country, and he also wants to participate in the Asian Cup.

"Then I'll arrange for you to start? Your physical fitness ......"

"No problem at all." Gao Zheng shook his head and said. "I'm resting well, so it's not going to affect me."

Fu Bo was very happy: "When you have lunch for a while, you can meet your teammates, everyone gets along very well, and there is no such thing as forming a gang to make a mountain in our team." So don't worry about anything. ”

Gao Zheng nodded: "I'm not worried, coach, I'll get along with anyone." ”

※※※

At lunchtime, Gao Zheng appeared in front of his teammates in the national team for the first time.

He is very new to this national team, both for himself and for his teammates in the national team.

It's not that he hasn't played in the national team, but that was as far away as 2007, when he was selected for the Under-17 team and played in a few friendlies when he performed well in AC Milan's youth team. Good performance.

If all goes well, he will transition from U17 to U19 and enter the U19 national youth team led by Song Maozhen to prepare for the Asian Youth Championships, and if he can finish in the top four of the Asian Youth Championships, he can participate in the World Youth Championships. At that time, Gao Zheng will appear on the stage of the World Series for the first time.

At that time, many people in China were also full of expectations for Gao Zheng, expecting him to lead this youth team to accomplish the achievements that his predecessors had not completed.

Just when the fans and the media had high hopes for him, everyone knew what happened next.

Because of injury, Gao Zheng didn't even play a few games in U17, and when Song Maozhen formed U19, he didn't enter the selection range at all.

When the national youth team failed in Zibo, Shandong Province and missed the World Youth Championships, Gao Zheng was messing around in the old man's broken football training class.

It's really a trick.

Although Gao Zheng has returned to the national team, there is no one he knows in this national team.

The teammates who played once in the national youth team were not selected for this national team.

And those players who are in the same age group as him in this national team have never played alongside him at the beginning.

If Gao Zheng is not injured and does not miss Song Maozhen's U19, then Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe, and Jin Jidao will all be his teammates in Fu Bo's national team now.

In the restaurant, in front of the whole team of players, Gao Zheng bowed to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Gao Zheng, I am selected for the national team for the first time, please take care of me!" ”

His action startled everyone in the restaurant.

Although they had not been in contact with Gao Zheng before, it did not mean that they did not know Gao Zheng.

With Gao Zheng's movements in Italian football, who may not know him if he is involved with football in China?

In media reports, Gao Zheng gives people the impression of arrogance, after all, he said in front of the Italian media: "I Gao Zheng is **" and "the mountain is there".

Therefore, people who are not familiar with Gao Zheng will take it for granted that Gao Zheng is a very difficult person to get along with and dragged 2580,000 people.

Before Gao Zheng came, the national team knew that Gao Zheng was coming this time, and they were muttering in private.

I am worried that it is not good for this super genius who became famous at a young age and is now in full swing.

What if he is a thorn in the pan and causes trouble everywhere?

Yes, these players who play in China may not be as good as Gao Zheng in terms of ability, and they are not as good as the Serie A Golden Boot scorers in terms of performance. But China is a society based on seniority, and some of them are also old internationals for many years.

They thought about a lot of possibilities, worried about this, worried about that.

As a result, the first thing Gao Zheng did after he came was to bow to them!

This is really something that a group of internationals did not expect.

Someone was startled and stood up from their seats.

Zheng Zhi, the captain of the team, hurriedly waved his hand: "We don't do that, when we enter the national team, we are all comrades-in-arms and our own people." We've all heard about you, and you're back on the football pitch, and everybody is happy for you. ”

"Yes, yes, it's amazing to be so badly injured!" Feng Xiaoting stepped forward and patted Gao Zheng's shoulder and praised him very cordially.

Others stepped forward to greet Gao Zheng and shook hands with him.

This made the head coach Fu Bo, who was watching this scene on the side, sigh out, this outside legend is so crazy that even Buffon dares not to give face, and the super genius who fights with half of the Italian media is actually not as scary as they say......

During the afternoon training, a large number of media gathered on the sidelines of the Chinese team's training ground, in addition to Chinese media and a large number of Indonesian media.

The rest of the Chinese players knew who they were coming to see – they had been in Indonesia for two days, and there was not so much media for the previous training. The number of media in China has not changed, and the number of media in Indonesia is much larger today.

Everyone's long guns and short cannons were aimed at Gao Zheng on the training ground.

Because the time to shoot in public was only fifteen minutes, the reporters were very focused on their work.

In front of the reporters, Fu Bo's Chinese team was conducting simple warm-up training, and there was no need to worry about being seen by Indonesian reporters the tactical arrangements of the Chinese team.

If they want to see Gao Zheng, let them watch it.

Gao Zheng and his teammates were doing a warm-up game of grabbing the circle in training.

In the footage of the reporters, Gao Zheng played a trick and passed the football from his teammates who came up to intercept.

was chased after Gao Zheng by his teammates who wore his crotch, but Gao Zheng had already run away.

There was a burst of cheers and laughter from the teammates.

Seeing this scene, I believe no one will feel that Gao Zheng and his new teammates have a discordant relationship.

The Chinese reporters sighed that Gao Zheng and the other international players seemed to get along well, at least they could already joke.

This is good news, if the national team can be united, then we can expect Gao Zheng's normal performance. If Gao Zheng is affected by the factional struggle within the national team, no matter how talented he is, it will be over.

Indonesian journalists, on the other hand, were disappointed.

They originally hoped that Gao Zheng's sudden arrival could break the balance within the Chinese team and intensify the contradictions. Isn't it said that the Chinese are the best at fighting in the nest? Doesn't it mean that the Chinese national team has always had a tradition of infighting?

So when Gao Zheng, an arrogant person, suddenly appears in the national team, his strong strength and shallow qualifications collide with those teammates who are not strong but all of them are old rivers and lakes, what sparks will be created?

Is it enough to ignite this powder keg?

But looking at this scene, the powder keg in the Chinese team is obviously safe.

Either that, everyone in the Chinese team can act, and together they deceived all the media reporters in Indonesia.
