Although the German team equalized five minutes after the Chinese team scored. But the Chinese fans did not boo www.biquge.info the Chinese team that conceded the goal this time, although they also felt a little pity - how good it would be if they could lead the German team for a while longer and force the German team to do their best...... There was no boo for the Chinese team, because after the game started, the Chinese team's performance was good for all of them, constantly attacking, constantly moving forward, which was eye-catching.

After conceding the goal, the players of the Chinese team were not as overwhelmed as in previous games, looking around on the field at a loss, and running was not active. On the contrary, under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian, the Chinese team continued to launch an offensive into the hinterland of the German team, and there was no fear at all.

Because of the Chinese team's performance, most people originally came to watch the German team perform, but now they are starting to cheer for their national team. Every attack by the Chinese team drew cheers from them, even if it did not result in a goal or even threaten the German goal. But the fans don't care so much, they just want to see a positive and enterprising, instead of shrinking in the backfield and kicking forward when the foot is tired, which is called a "long pass" shrinking ball. Tonight's Chinese team is a sight to behold.

Originally, according to the original plan, Chu Zhongtian only had a chance of forty-five minutes. But his performance is really good, in this team with him at the core, he is like a fish in water, he is free, he is constantly running around the field, connecting the team's attack and defence. His brilliant pass made his teammates work hard.

The commentators couldn't help but admire, Chu Zhongtian, who was wearing the jersey of the Chinese team, finally let people see the shadow of Chu Zhongtian in Hoffenheim.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance, Gao Hongbo temporarily changed his mind, and did not replace Chu Zhongtian at halftime, but let him continue to play in the second half. Fifteen minutes after the halftime break, the fans saw Chu Zhongtian continue to appear on the field, and they all collectively erupted in cheers. They didn't care at all, and they complained that it was inhumane and inhumane for Gao Hongbo to let Chu Zhongtian, who had just finished the season, return to China to compete, and now they just want to see Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance on the spot.

Zheng Zhi was not replaced until the sixty-third minute, and the person who was replaced was not Chu Zhongtian, but Wang Xinxin. This substitution has actually shown that in this invisible competition between Chu Zhongtian and Zheng Zhi, they have divided the winners and losers. In the heart of Gao Hongbo, the new head coach, he is already inclined to let Chu Zhongtian be the captain of this new national team.

Chu Zhongtian played until the seventy-sixth minute before being replaced. Gao Hongbo still took into account Chu Zhongtian's physical condition and didn't dare to let him play the whole game.

When he got off the field, Chu Zhongtian once again received applause and cheers from the fans. Before he got off the field, he ran to Zheng Zhi and handed the armband to Zheng Zhi. Then he patted Zheng Zhi on the shoulder and ran off the field.

Zheng Zhi held the captain's armband in his hand, and instead of wearing it on his arm immediately, he looked at Chu Zhongtian's back. The man was enjoying the cheers and thunderous applause of the fans. He was clearly the brightest star of the game, even overshadowing the Germans.

He suddenly had a feeling in his heart that the era of his own national team was over. With the new head coach in office, everything is slowly changing.

Chu Zhongtian walked to the sidelines, high-fived Yu Hanchao, who replaced him, and then raised his hands to applaud in thanks.

This was the end of his debut in Gao Hongbo's new national football team, and the game did not score again after each side scored a goal in the opening ten minutes. Although both sides were given some chances.

At the press conference after the game, the focus of the media was Chu Zhongtian. The Chinese media apparently wanted to hear what the coaches of both sides had to say about the most dazzling player of the game.

Gao Hongbo didn't have a lot of comments on Chu Zhongtian, and he obviously didn't want everyone to focus on just one person. He emphasised many times that the team is a whole, everyone is doing well and that he is happy with the result and the process of this game. Of course, Chu Zhongtian performed so well, he couldn't say a word.

"Chu Zhongtian is a very good player and I am very happy with his performance."

"May I ask Director Gao, will he become the core figure of the new national football team?" A reporter asked a topic that everyone cared about, but at the same time was a little sensitive.

Gao Hongbo did not answer this question directly: "Now the national team is still in the stage of inspecting players, and I will investigate a lot of newcomers next, and for a period of time, the lineup and tactics of the national team will not be fixed......"

Loew, on the other hand, didn't have to worry so much about maintaining the locker room atmosphere and unity of the Chinese team, so he said it more directly: "Chu made a deep impression on me when he was in the Bundesliga. This game is even more so. You've got a very good player......"

Loew constantly praised Chu Zhongtian, which made the Chinese media feel very comfortable listening to it. It is rare for someone to praise a Chinese player so blatantly, let alone that he is justified and not to give the hosts face.

In many cases, Chinese actually have an inferiority complex, and when others praise themselves, they always think that others say this for the sake of face, but in fact it is just perfunctory. But in Chu Zhongtian, no one would think so. He has just won the Bundesliga title, and now the country's admiration for him is at its peak.

The next day, China's major media focused on reporting on this game, which was just a warm-up game, and everyone didn't plan to pay too much attention to it, but who thought that the Chinese team's performance in this game was not bad, and Chu Zhongtian's performance was too dazzling, if the media didn't follow up and pay attention, he would definitely be scolded to death by readers and audiences.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian was almost confirmed as the new core of the Chinese team in the media hype.

As for the fact that the German team did not go all out, everyone naturally ignored it in the excitement. Anyway, what they care about is not the 1:1 score with the German team, but Chu Zhongtian's excellent performance, which makes people see hope.

Chu Zhongtian himself was not interested in the hype of these media.

But after this game, his status in the national team has obviously improved again.

And for the current national football team, Chu Zhongtian is more or less the older generation, even if he is ranked by seniority, he is also a big brother in the national team, although he is not very old. Originally, this kind of thing doesn't look at age. With the support of the manager, with the glory he has won from playing in Europe, and the good relationship with those world-class stars, there will definitely be admirers in the national team, and then he will form a group of people in the team, even if he wants to be a ball bully, it is not impossible...... When Chu Zhongtian first joined the team, he was a newcomer, and he had to keep a low profile, worried about being rectified. Now that he is a veteran player, it is not his concern to be rectified, but others are afraid that they will accidentally offend him and be rectified by him - although he may not do this, but outsiders will always be worried.

Even if there are players with older qualifications than Chu Zhongtian joining the team, I am afraid that they will not be able to take advantage of Chu Zhongtian. After all, Chu Zhongtian is now rightly popular, and he is older than him, which means that they are outdated. For example, the players of Li Weifeng's generation are basically veterans of various club teams, their careers are going downhill, and they have become marginal figures in the national team.

It's really a new generation for the old. The domineering football tyrants who were rampant at the beginning have now retired, and a new generation of "ball tyrants" is gradually taking shape...... Chu Zhongtian didn't want to be a ball bully, but in order to protect himself, he had to be stronger. That's why in training and in the national team's games, he always has to call the shots and let everyone know that now he's in charge.

The friendly match against the German team strengthened everyone's impression of him. The performance is so good, judging from the timing and selection of Zheng Zhi, everyone knows who is more favored in the heart of the new head coach. With the support of the manager, it would be unwise to go against him. And why Zheng Zhi was so valued in the last national team was because Zhu Suishen liked him, when he was in the Shenzhen team, Zhu Suishen was Zheng Zhi's mentor, the two understood each other and cooperated tacitly.

Chu Zhongtian is not Gao Hongbo's descendant, the two of them had no contact at all before, and he was valued by his performance. He deserves such attention.

※※※ The media didn't care about Chu Zhongtian's almost meaty hype or anything, and after playing the game with the German team, Chu Zhongtian followed the team to Qinhuangdao. On June 1, China will face Iran there, their second warm-up match.

And this is also the last game that Chu Zhongtian played in the new national football team, because he has already communicated with Gao Hongbo, and he will leave the team to go to the United States after this game. Gao Hongbo also happened to have this intention, because since he was inspecting the newcomers of the national football team, he couldn't always fix the lineup, not to mention that he also wanted to see how this new national football team could perform without Chu Zhongtian. After all, Chu Zhongtian played in Hoffenheim, and the time of the European League and the domestic league is different, so it is impossible for him to come back to participate in any game.

So Gao Hongbo also agreed that Chu Zhongtian would not play the last game against Saudi Arabia.

Unlike the perfunctory attitude of the German team, this warm-up match against Iran is definitely full of gold. This is Iran's last resort as Iran prepares for the weekend's World Cup Asian qualifier round of 10 against North Korea in South Africa. The whole Iranian team attaches great importance to it, so in order to prepare for North Korea, the Chinese team is used by them as an imaginary enemy similar to North Korea. Since this game is to prepare for the North Korean Resan, then Iran is impossible to perfunctory.

Therefore, this game is actually the first touchstone to test the geometry of Gao Hongbo's new national football team.

The Iranian team has always been the nemesis of the Chinese team, and the two teams have played each other a total of 18 times in the international A-level competition, and the Chinese team is at an absolute disadvantage with three wins, five draws and ten losses - in this way, in fact, the Chinese team has quite a lot of nemesis...... Iran, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq...... It seems that if you want to find a team from Asia that is not a Chinese nemesis, you can only look at South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Gao Hongbo used a large number of newcomers in this game, and compared with the last game against Germany, only three people in the Chinese team are still in the starting lineup - central defender Feng Xiaoting, striker Gao Lin and midfielder Chu Zhongtian. The Iranian side was also basically the main force, with Hashmian and Madavecchia both starting.

It was a tough game, but the Chinese team still showed the momentum to pursue the attack.

In the end, they won 1-0 at home against Iran thanks to a goal from Gao Lin. This is the first victory of Gao Hongbo's new national football team, and the opponent is Iran, which makes this victory seem very weighty.

Chu Zhongtian played half of this game and was replaced. But he still showed leadership that stood out from the crowd. The goal scored by Gao Lin came from a free kick that Chu Zhongtian took possession of the ball in the front court and was pushed down by an Iranian player.

After the game, Chu Zhongtian's performance was naturally praised and touted by the domestic media.

Chu Zhongtian paid great attention to uniting the masses, and being a captain abroad let him know that it was not okay to be arrogant. So in the interview, he mentioned the excellent performance of his teammates many times. But unconsciously, the words involuntarily showed the demeanor of a big brother - big brother Chu Zhongtian don't look at his age, but it is not the first time he has done it. At the beginning of Metz, among a group of young Chinese players, he had the style of a big brother. Although it will only be such a temperament now.

When interviewed, he always praised his teammates, but listening to his words, it always felt like the big brother was promoting the juniors...... But that's right, this national team is basically all newcomers, and there are very few real old internationals. Chu Zhongtian can be regarded as an old qualification. In the match with Iran, goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, defenders Rong Hao and He Yang, midfielder Yang Hao and striker Cao Tianbao all played for the national team for the first time.

They are real newcomers, and they have to be respectful when they see Chu Zhongtian in the team. However, Chu Zhongtian didn't have a fight, and soon everyone got together. The atmosphere of the national team has really improved a little compared to before, maybe because of the new coach businessman, everyone seems to leave a good impression on the head coach?

But in any case, it is a fact that the national team is doing a little better than before.

※※※ On the evening of the game on June 1, Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to the team and went to Beijing from Qinhuangdao with Emily, where they will rest for a day and then fly to Los Angeles.

In the hotel, I saw Chu Zhongtian and his Hollywood movie star girlfriend leaving in the car of his agent Xu Xiaodi, and all the international players were envious.

"This is the real big name...... "The young new international players who came down to see off Chu Zhongtian gathered together and shook their heads and sighed.

"It's so stylish!"

"Hollywood movie star...... I've seen her movies, and they're beautiful! ”

"I really envy Chu Da......"

"Chu Da" is an affectionate honorific title for Chu Zhongtian by the young new internationals, which not only seems cordial, but also reflects a certain degree of identity surprise. Chu Zhongtian himself did not object, so this title spread in the national team.

"It's good to play abroad...... Damn it! Lao Tzu is also going to play football abroad! ”

"Haha! You? No kidding! Do you think it's so easy to go abroad? If it was really good to go, I would have gone early...... Grandma's! ”

"Ahem......" Someone saw Zheng Zhi coming over and quickly coughed a few times, so everyone hurriedly stopped discussing the matter of playing football abroad. Zheng Zhi also played abroad, but his achievements are very different from Chu Zhongtian, everyone is so happy to discuss playing abroad, I am afraid that this international player, who is also a senior, will be stimulated.

It wasn't until Chu Zhongtian's taillights disappeared into the vast night that they walked back to the elevator with envy.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't know how his new national team teammates were envious of him behind his back, he was enjoying the two-person world with Emily at this time...... As for Xu Xiaodi, who was driving in front, he and Emily were completely treated as air.

Xu Xiaodi glanced at the two lovers in the kiss through the rearview mirror, and said in his heart: This person has been abroad for a long time because he is open-minded...... I said, you two, do you really treat me like air?

Apparently that's what the two of them thought. So Xu Xiaodi could only complain a few words in his stomach, then looked away, and tried his best to treat the two people sitting behind him as air, and concentrate on driving. He was going to drive at night, so he didn't dare to be distracted.

※※※ The next day, Chu Zhongtian and Emily enjoyed themselves in Beijing, and they were recognized when they were playing in the Forbidden City, which caused a small commotion. Emily is a Hollywood movie star, she has acted in many movies in recent years, and she has long been a first-line actress well-known to Chinese audiences. And Chu Zhongcai has just performed well in two national team games, and his popularity is also very strong. When these two people appear in public, there will naturally be star chasers.

After satisfying the fans' requests, the two continued to play in the Forbidden City.

At this time, Chu Zhongtian's agent Xu Xiaodi was booking tickets for the two of them from Beijing to Los Angeles the next day. After today's play, the two of them are going to the United States. Take a look at the business over there, meet Emily's mom, and reunite with her parents.

The team will assemble on June 29, but his vacation is not long.

However, as a professional player, he has long been accustomed to such a busy holiday. I didn't think there was anything bad about it, but it was very fulfilling anyway. Chu Zhongtian was twenty-five years old, young, energetic, and felt that he had endless energy all over his body, and he would not feel tired. The career must take advantage of this opportunity to get started, otherwise when you are old, you will not have that momentum.

After a day of playing, Chu Zhongtian and Emily boarded a plane to Los Angeles and left China. At this time in China, the topic of him is still hype, and his name has repeatedly appeared on the Internet and in the news media.

The day after he left, the Chinese team without him defeated Saudi Arabia with a score of 1:4, some people said that the Chinese team was finally beaten back to the prototype, some people said that the Chinese team would not work without Chu Zhongtian, and some people said that the first two games were illusions, and the game with Saudi Arabia was the real level of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team should be normal like this.

However, these things have nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian himself.

He finally saw his parents in the United States, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and from now on he was going on vacation.
