Vitesse's training base was a little deserted, with Lashka, Miazga and Zhang Yuning each called up to their respective national teams to return to China to prepare for World Cup qualifiers on all continents.

And Fraser is most fortunate that his most important core Wen Zhihao was not called, which is an absolute good for the team's next preparations.

Originally, he was still having a headache, and if Wen Zhihao had traveled back and forth for thousands of kilometers, and had to play two high-intensity international matches in a row during the period, his state would definitely be affected. In the following games, this team must also rely on Wen Zhihao's performance.

But now, it seems, nothing is a problem.

Fraser secretly praised the "wise decision" of the Chinese Football Association.

During the precious interval, Wen Zhihao had a good rest in the villa for a day.

When he learned about the national team squad, he felt helpless and felt very uncomfortable.

Big brother Zhang Yuning can be favored, isn't his performance enough to impress the national team?

Wen Zhihao found a picture of himself wearing the national flag after winning the AFC Champions League final, and posted it on Weibo, with a line of text revealing his true feelings.

No matter how difficult the road ahead, I will always be with you.

There are both blessings and helplessness, but also unchanging love and following.

The Weibo of China's No. 1 rising star quickly aroused a strong resonance among the majority of patriotic and indignant youth, and while praising Wen Zhihao, the mediocre and incompetent Football Association suffered from the pond fish again, and the majority of fans were criticized again.

The next day, Wen Zhihao came to the base, and Frase led the coaching staff to open a small stove for him alone.

Fraser guided Wen Zhihao through intensive training on the inside of the wing, which will be a key technique when he appears on the pitch as a wide player. Although Wen Zhihao learned a lot from Arjen Robben last season, he did not like to use it in competitions.

In addition, Fraser also wants to emphasize to Wen Zhihao once again through this training that his foot technique is the foundation of success, and he should not blindly obsess over improving his physical fitness and put the cart before the horse.

"Henk, new fax. From the Chinese Football Association! And this. ”

While Fraser was watching Wen Chi Ho train, sporting director Legan Keno came to the training ground and handed over a fax.

Fraser frowned, took it and looked at it carefully, sighed a little helplessly, and said to his assistant Jorgen, "Call Wen over." Legan, borrow your office. ”

……

"Wow! Boss, is this true? Am I really selected? Wen Zhihao got the transfer order of the national team, and almost subconsciously exclaimed, staring at Frase with wide eyes, and couldn't hide the surprise in his heart.

"You'd love to go?" Fraser asked in a deep voice.

In fact, no matter what he and Wen Zhihao think, the club must release people. In an international tournament like World Cup qualifying, no club has the right to thwart the players.

Fraser asked deliberately, just to find some comfort from Wen Zhihao's mouth. From his heart, he is a thousand people who are unwilling to let Wen Zhihao return to China to compete.

"Of course! I've worked so hard to improve myself, and I've been waiting for this day! Congratulations, boss! ”

Wen Zhihao's answer was destined to disappoint Frase.

Fraser stared at Wen Zhihao, his cheeks moved, and he wanted to say something a few times, but he held back again. It took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Protect yourself, don't get hurt." Come back as soon as the game is over! ”

"Don't worry, Boss, my own body is more precious than anyone else." Wen Zhihao said as he picked up the dispatch on the table and disappeared in a hurry.

More than ten hours later, Guangdong Qingyuan National Training Base.

Just got on the plane and then transferred to the car to the base, coupled with the evil time difference, Wen Zhihao's face was full of fatigue at this moment. Dealing with thousands of media and fans at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport has taken him a lot of energy, and at the moment, the only thing Wen Zhihao wants to do is: sleep.

The staff of the national team gave him a room card and explained: "Zhihao, you just arrived, you are very tired, right?" The high instructor allows you to rest in the room first, and you can skip the afternoon training. ”

"Okay, thank you." Wen Zhihao nodded, returned to the room and fell asleep.

It wasn't until the evening that Wen Zhihao met his teammates and coaching staff for the first time.

"Xiao Wen, welcome to the family of the national team!" Team leader Guo Bingyan spoke to Wen Zhihao before Gao Hongbo, and Gao Hongbo, who was just about to stretch out his hand, stood in place a little embarrassed.

Wen Zhihao had heard of Gao Hongbo, but he didn't know who this person was in front of him, so he just smiled a little perfunctorily, turned to Gao Hongbo and stretched out his hand to greet him.

The central character of a team is the manager, and that's right. However, under the special national conditions, this is not the case.

Guo Bingyan, who felt that his hot face was attached to his cold buttocks, was slightly cold, he had received the above hints before, and now looking at Wen Zhihao's "uninteresting" behavior, he also had a lot of opinions about Wen Zhihao in his heart.

Gao Hongbo noticed all this, and while greeting him, he hurriedly exchanged glances with Wen Zhihao, and silently sweated for Wen Zhihao in his heart.

Meeting his teammates for the first time, Wen Zhihao made a brief self-introduction. In fact, everyone here is no stranger to Wen Zhihao. The vast majority of people are heartily welcome to this little junior brother's age thigh to join the team.

After dinner, the team had a night training session at the base. China's first match in the round of 12 will be away to South Korea, and Gao Hongbo must select a 23-man squad from a 26-man training squad before heading out.

Wen Zhihao continued to train until he received the call-up, and after an afternoon of recovery, his physical condition was completely fine. After a short test and warm-up, Gao Hongbo asked Wen Zhihao to participate in the team's tactical joint practice.

As soon as I arrived at this link, I saw the difference with domestic players. Wen Zhihao basically receives, runs, and passes in one go, and if his teammates are Lashka or Kazaishvili, this rhythm is no problem at all. But partnering with a domestic player who "stops, watches, and passes", Wen Zhihao is obviously more than one shot faster.

Teammates have complained that Wen Zhihao will not take care of the rhythm of the whole team.

"Slow down! Spread so fast, do you death! "This is said by a midfielder from the Yangtze River Delta region who has been widely questioned by fans for having a hard background and can be selected under every national team coach.

Wen Zhihao glanced at him angrily, and wanted to scold him: Will the opponent on the field wait for you to run in place and get the ball before grabbing it?

was scolded unreasonably, Wen Zhihao was very unhappy. In the subsequent group confrontation, he gave the No. 7 of the national team, the martial arts king nicknamed "Nuclear Weapons 7", three consecutive high-quality single knives, but he didn't expect to be either missed, or directly held in the arms of the goalkeeper.

Wen Zhihao's anger surged up instantly, and the bad emotions in his heart exploded instantly, and before the martial arts king could turn around, he roared loudly behind him: "Can you shoot!" Is there anyone like you who kicks a single knife like that? Do you need me to teach you? ”
