No matter what the reason for Zhang Jilong's withdrawal from the Football Federation was, he didn't have any reason to tell the players of the national team this reason. Even if the upper echelons really want to make arrangements, they won't say a word in front of the players. Therefore, in the last week, although the outside world unanimously believes that the Chinese team has been blessed by the Football Federation and will definitely be able to advance smoothly, the players of the Chinese team are still training hard and preparing for the game.

After all, they did not receive any good news, and even some bad news: according to the original arrangement, the match between Oman and China will be played later than the match between Japan and Iran, but if this arrangement is followed, then it is very likely that this side has not started yet, and Japan and Iran have already qualified from the group together, so this last game will be meaningless. The AFC certainly won't let the key matches face such an embarrassing situation, so in the last game, they also made a time adjustment.

This game, after adjustments, started at the same time, so they have no way of knowing what will happen to the other game until the end of the game. Originally, maybe the Iranian team lost the game, which was also a shot in the arm for China, but now, they can't get the bonus of the good news over there.

The only thing the players of the Chinese team can do is to go all out to play this game. Waiting is not going to be successful, and they can only win the championship by fighting for it themselves.

Fortunately, the Chinese team is also ready for this. Since the end of the ninth round of the top 10 competition, in the remaining few days, the players of the Chinese team are also gearing up. I've been preparing for the war in earnest. The preparation that should be done for the game, they don't dare to be sloppy at all. And the morale of the players of the national team is also rarely high. Especially after the captain of the team gave a lecture in the team. This is especially true of the players.

"This time in the World Preliminaries, there is only one last game left. And I estimate that I won't be able to catch up with the next World Cup qualifiers, and I'm about to retire by then, this game is probably the last impact World Cup I participated in. I was able to retire with peace of mind. ”

With the last Asian preliminaries approaching, Zheng Zhi, as the captain of the team, also showed his attitude in the team. He also attaches great importance to a game, and before the game, he also vented his heart.

The game is coming, and the mood of the national football players is actually very nervous, if at this time, Zheng Zhi said something impassioned and inspiring. Maybe the teammates don't particularly care - everyone can say big things, but what the result will be is two words. But there was a hint of emotion in his words that made the players feel a little.

Zheng Zhi's words can be said to be motivated. His football career wasn't very smooth. Although he showed great talent early on, playing almost all positions on the court, he has always been. His fame has been dragged down a lot because of the poor results of Chinese football. Zheng Zhi's name. For a long time, it was associated with Cisse's broken leg. More often than not, people don't value his abilities and just take him as a joke.

It's really sad for a player to play this role. has been dragged down by the performance of the national football team, and he has been scolded a lot. Throughout his career, he has been dragged down a lot by the national team, and it can be said that he has spent the darkest days of the national team.

Finally, Chinese football has improved now, but what is even more sad is that now Chinese football has finally improved, and his strength has finally been taken seriously, but his age is not young, and retirement is basically just around the corner.

In the past two days, the reputation of the young players has become more and more famous, which is also a big stimulus for him, and watching the young people play better and better, he also decided that he has not long to fight for in the future. After playing football for a lifetime and being scolded for a lifetime, seeing that he was dying, the national team was improving-this situation was completely due to Raul's contribution, but he bore Raul's fate, Zheng Zhi was naturally very bored about this, and he also hoped that he could create some more achievements before retiring.

Of course, the championship or something, he also knows that his team basically has no hope. The current strength of the Chinese team, not to mention the World Cup, the Asian Cup or something, the East Asian semifinals are all very difficult levels. And if it can be regarded as a good achievement, it is naturally to play in the World Cup again. If you can play the World Cup as the captain, then you will not be forgotten by Chinese football, and you can at least have a thought when you recall the games of the national team in the future.

This is the last thirst for Zheng Zhi.

"Rest assured, this last game, we're definitely going to give it our all no matter what. World Cup qualifying, we can definitely do it, you don't have to worry about anything. ”

Hearing Zheng Zhi's words, Gao Shunyao could only comfort him like this. Although he doesn't think that in the next few years, young domestic players will be able to replace Zheng Zhi's position in the national team, but Zheng Zhi's words, he is still a little sad.

He also knows very well that the opportunity to enter the World Cup has always been unattainable for China, and if he misses it this time, he really can't guarantee that there will be a chance next time. Moreover, even if the Chinese team still has a chance in the next World Cup, whether he has a chance or not is two words, Zheng Zhi said that this may be his last chance to impact the World Cup, and for himself, this may be the only time.

Gao Shunyao is not worried that he will not be able to catch up with his age in the next World Cup, but he is worried that when the next World Cup comes, his state in his thirties will not fluctuate. Over the years, he has seen too many accidents, injuries, club games, private lives of players, all of which can affect a player or even a team. What will you encounter in four years? Gao Shunyao didn't dare to bet that he would be smooth sailing.

For him, the most important thing to fight is this time. I'm in the best of times now. At the age of 24, he is healthy and has no injuries, the club has just won the championship, and he is in good shape and in excellent condition. This summer can basically be regarded as his peak, and he will not give up this opportunity easily.

Of course, not only him, but the other players basically think the same way. They are also eager for this opportunity. For them, by qualifying for the World Cup, they can have a very bright future, and the road ahead of them will be much wider in the future.

With the increase in domestic investment, and even people like Lippi have come to China to coach, it is not uncommon for many Chinese players to be stared at by foreigners. And as the Chinese team is playing better and better, the players have also tasted some sweetness. The Chinese team has not yet successfully qualified from the group, and many players have been favored by foreign players. The bright future has greatly stimulated the players' ambition and made the players' morale high.

At least Gao Shunyao knows, Wu Lei is said to be favored by Hanover, Zhang Xizhe is said to be favored by the Celtics of Su Chao, and some news even says that Zhang Linpeng may go to play in a real European giant, and the attention has surpassed Gao Shunyao in one fell swoop. Among the younger ones, Chen Zhizhao went to Sao Paulo, Brazil, while Wang Shangyuan of the National Olympic team is said to have been invited to try out by Bruges, Belgium, and will go to Bruges after the college entrance examination this year. Although looking at the teams they went to, they are still much inferior to the players from Japan and South Korea, but even if it is a bad opportunity, it can be regarded as a pretty good challenge for Chinese players.

At least, that's what Gao Shunyao and his teammates said.

"If you can go abroad, it's better to go abroad and see it. It's not a bad thing to play well or badly, but at least broaden your horizons. It's not that you don't know the situation in our country, anyway, there are no talents emerging on the left and right, you just really went abroad to play for a year, and you can only return to China if you can't kick out, and you still have to worry about having no place after returning home? With your level, they have to rush to get you to any team in China, and you have no worries, what are you afraid of? ”

Many domestic coaches are opposed to playing abroad, they think that the level of domestic players is not good, and they can't play games abroad, so it is better to stay in China. But Gao Shunyao's view is different from that of domestic coaches, in his opinion, going abroad is an opportunity no matter how much he says, even if he can't succeed, how much loss can he have? When you go abroad, the worst situation is nothing more than not being able to play, but if you can't play, you can go on loan, and if you can't do it, you can go back to China, and your domestic league level is there, what is there to worry about? As long as you can keep up with foreign training, the level will not drop too much, and there is no need for domestic coaches to worry that they can't play.

At least as a player, he encourages these youngsters to go out and about.

"When the national team is finished this time, I can help you contact you if you want to go abroad. I also know a few foreign agents, scouts, and I recommend you to them, and you can always find a team that suits you. And, if we can really qualify for the World Cup, where will we need my help? If you look at Japan, isn't it the most active period for foreign scouts before and after the World Cup? As long as we can qualify for the World Cup, look at it, there will definitely be more opportunities. ”

Encouragement alone is obviously not enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, and in addition to encouragement, Gao Shunyao has not forgotten to induce his teammates with more practical benefits. After victory, honor, fame, money, these things will follow, and he did not forget to emphasize this truth to his teammates.

It is precisely because of this that the morale of the Chinese team has also been adjusted to the highest. The old players want to be brilliant for their end, the young people want a bright future, and Gao Shunyao wants to prove their ability, and all of this will be won by their own efforts in the final round of the World Preliminary Championships.

Fight hard for their respective requirements. (To be continued.) )
