Chapter 43: Departure for the Club World Cup

Wen Zhihao eventually sent Nazzo away, saying that he needed time to think about it.

Nazzo understood that if he wanted to hurry, he left a sentence before leaving, hoping that Wen Zhihao would give the answer he was expecting. Milan, welcome back the heroes.

Wen Zhihao's whereabouts have been hyped by the media, all kinds of speculation is overwhelming, every day Wen Zhihao and his father will receive a lot of strange calls, all from large and small news units, all reporters from large and small news units, and many European club staff in China directly find them, doing the work of Wen Zhihao father and son.

Wen's father is under a lot of pressure every day, and he is now desperate for his son to have a professional agent to handle these affairs, which can not only avoid a lot of external disturbances, but also better protect Wen Zhihao's vital interests.

A week later, after a short break, Evergrande packed up for the Club World Cup in December. This is the final battle of the 2015 season for Evergrande, and it is also the last major competition that Wen Zhihao participated in on behalf of Evergrande.

Perhaps due to the interference of various transfer rumors after the end of the AFC Champions League, in the first training session after returning to the team, Wen Zhihao was not in a state, and some players who couldn't play on the bench had a lot of complaints in private, they felt that Wen Zhihao couldn't work hard, and his mind was no longer in Evergrande.

Head coach Scolari has once again shown his ability to control his team. Not only suppressed all these doubts in the team, but also implemented a complete closure of the team's training to isolate external interference to the greatest extent.

Time doesn't wear it down, but it can keep some things going. Every day, many Wen Zhihao's fans care about Wen Zhihao's next choice through Weibo, and some fans are enthusiastic to give their own suggestions.

Seeing that so many people care about him, Wen Zhihao will also find time to interact with fans in addition to training. When he was irritable during the holidays, Wen Zhihao couldn't help but post a Weibo complaint: Dealing with the media and various quotations every day, tired to death......

In an instant, a large number of fans rushed to comfort her, but among these fans who paid attention to Wen Zhihao, there was a young girl whose eyes lit up slightly, and she said to herself: Wen Zhihao, hehe, for the sake of our acquaintance, I will help you.

She pulled out her phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Vio, it's me." Did you say last time that your uncle is working as a football agent, I know a young man, you ask him if he is interested......"

For several days in a row, Wen Zhihao's state was quite sluggish, and Scolari found him alone and asked: "Dear Wen, why do you feel like a different person, and you can't even concentrate with the ball?" ”

Wen Zhihao also knew that he was not in the state, and hurriedly reflected: "I'm sorry, Big Phil, I've been annoyed lately. ”

Scolari knew what the reason was, his face sank suddenly, and he said to Wen Zhihao with a straight face: "You come with me." ”

The two stood on the runway inside the base, and Scolari said to Wen Zhihao: "Run! Run! I won't let you stop, I'm not allowed to stop! ”

Soon there was a figure walking like a fly on the runway of the base, and an old man with an exaggerated expression yelled wildly: "Quick! Faster! Are you a turtle? Fast! ”

Hearing the head coach's shout, Wen Zhihao gritted his teeth and continued to accelerate, but Scolari still continued to shout: "Didn't you eat? The old lady is faster than you, and then speed up! Hasten! ”

Wen Zhihao suddenly increased his speed by another order of magnitude, but Scolari was still not satisfied, and continued to pull his throat: "Faster!" Faster! The opposing defender is chasing after you, and they are about to catch up with you! Re-acceleration ......"

Wen Zhihao's speed had been increased to the limit, and at the same time, bean-sized sweat particles were dripping on the runway, Scolari was still not satisfied, and continued to shout: "Accelerate again!" It could be faster! You can do it! ”

Wen Zhihao gritted his teeth and wanted to continue to speed up. But the sharp drop in physical fitness made his legs suddenly weak, and he fell on the track, unable to stand up again.

Scolari walked up to Wen Zhihao and asked, "How do you feel now?" ”

Wen Zhihao opened his mouth and breathed heavily, and he didn't even have the strength to say the word "tired".

"Were you thinking about all that messy things that upset you?" Scolari continued to ask.

Wen Zhihao subconsciously shook his head.

Scolari nodded slightly, waited for Wen Zhihao to breathe a sigh of relief, lifted Wen Zhihao's head, looked him directly into the eyes, and taught him like an elder: "Wen, as a professional player, you have to learn not to bring off-court emotions to the court, you have to remember the feeling just now, when you are really fully committed, you will not be swayed by irrelevant worries, the only thing you can do is to be yourself, understand?" ”

In the next few days, Scolari was pleased to see that Wen Zhihao's form was gradually recovering, and his assistant Paul was very surprised: "Hey, Big Phil, Wen's form has improved significantly from the previous days, and I believe he can do his best." ”

Scolari rolled his eyes in displeasure: "He's always been the best!" ”

……

As soon as December, the entire Evergrande team has flown to Japan to make final preparations for the Club World Cup.

According to the draw, Evergrande's opponent in the first round is the Central and North American champion Mexico America, and if it can successfully advance, the semi-finals will face the European champion, the Cosmos team Barcelona!

Two years ago, facing Bayern, which is also a European giant, Evergrande was almost powerless to fight back and lost 0:3. Many media began to talk about Evergrande vs. Barcelona with the draw sheet, automatically ignoring the first-round opponent Mexico America.

Especially when the media learned that Scolari did not even include Wen Zhihao in the starting lineup, he was even more confident. See, against you, we don't have the AFC Champions League Golden Boot, it's just so arrogant!

Perhaps it was the blind praise of the outside world that made the Evergrande players a little fluttering, and Mexico America was the first blow when it came up. In the 33rd minute, Colombian international Quintero forced Zheng Zhi and crossed, and Mexican international Peralta grabbed a header in front of Feng Xiaoting, and Evergrande fell behind 0:1.

This situation surprised everyone. What I didn't expect was that the opponent's tactical literacy was significantly stronger than Evergrande's, and it was not the so-called fish belly of the Chinese media at all, but a strong team that was only strong but not weak with Evergrande.

Commentator Jia Yuan said bluntly: "Before the game, the outside world was discussing the showdown between Evergrande and Barcelona, but now it seems that it may be a more realistic goal to think about how to defeat Mexico and America in front of you." ”

Scolari also knew that he had made a mistake, but fortunately, there was still a nuclear-weapon-level killer like Wen Zhihao on the bench. In the second half, Wen Zhihao came on the court, Evergrande gradually began to show the strength of the Asian champion, Wen Zhihao assisted Zheng Long to equalize in the 80th minute of the game, just when everyone was preparing for extra time, injury time, Wen Zhihao took a corner kick, and Paulinho in front of the goal smashed the ball into the opponent's door.

came off the bench and assisted the director twice to reverse the game. Wen Zhihao clenched his fists and lay on the grass and roared to the sky. Thrilling through the first round, the opponent in the semi-finals is enough to make every footballer adrenaline rush.

European Champion, Cosmos Team Barcelona!
