Chapter 143: First Acquaintance with the National Team
In fact, Hongkou Stadium is not the location of the national team's training camp, which is located in a training base on the outskirts of Shanghai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info just set the registration location at Hongkou Stadium, and then there was a special vehicle to send the players to the training base.
At the national team registration location in Hongkou Stadium, countless domestic media reporters had been squatting for a long time, and when Zhang Xu appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of reporters.
So, the long guns and short barrels surrounded Zhang Xu one after another.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Xu had long been mentally prepared, so he simply stood there and waited for the reporter's question with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Zhang Xu, I am a reporter from New Wolf Sports, representing the national team for the first time, what do you think?" The reporter of New Wolf Sports reacted relatively quickly, and suddenly rushed to the front.
"Of course I'm glad to be! Also proud! It was my childhood dream to join the national team, and now that this dream has finally come true, I am naturally extremely excited! Zhang Xu talked eloquently, and his spirit was flying.
"Hello, I'm a reporter for Sports Weekly, what do you think of the head coach of the national team, Mr. Camacho?"
"Mr. Camacho is an admirable coach, his Rayo Vallecano defense is full of resilience, the style of play is fierce and open, his Spanish national team has the penetration of the middle, and the cross from the wing, both delicate passes at the feet and high-altitude strikes, is the most gorgeous team in the history of Spanish football. For such a meritorious coach, I am very much looking forward to playing for my country under him. "For Camacho, the head coach of the national team, Zhang Xu has already worked hard and has a certain understanding, so it is the first thing to talk about.
"Hello, I'm a reporter from Football Newspaper, the national football team lost 0-8 to Brazil in the last game, what do you think of that game?"
Zhang Xu Zou frowned, this question is really difficult to answer, to be honest? Denying the national football team in front? That would certainly offend coach Camacho and the seniors of the national team.
Zhang Xu is not afraid of offending them, but worried that they will retaliate against him. Rather, they are worried that it will affect the unity of the team and affect the team's results.
He thought about it for a moment, and then replied cautiously: "That game doesn't mean anything, I believe." No one wants to be humiliated by Brazil like this, and I don't want to, if I have the chance, I will prove myself with my teammates and prove that Chinese can also play. Kick a good ball! ”
"Hello, Zhang Xu, I'm a reporter from Sohu Sports, may I ask, do you think you will start in this game against New Zealand? Do you think we're going to win? What will be your predicted score? ”
"Mr. reporter, there are so many questions, hehe!" Zhang Xu smiled and replied: "First of all, whether I can start or not is not something that I should worry about as a player, I think the experienced Mr. Camacho should have sufficient arrangements." Go and ask Him; As for whether it will be able to win? Sorry, in my dictionary, there is always only victory, or on the road to victory! I hope it's 2-0! ”
At this time, there were two other national players who reported with Zhang Xu, compared to Zhang Xu, who was highly sought after by reporters, there were only a few people in front of them.
When they saw such a scene, they naturally felt very uncomfortable, and one of them snorted jealously: "Hmph, isn't it just two years in Europe?" Look at him proudly. ”
"Hey. People have this capital, and now he is the core of Deportivo LaCoruna's midfield, and I heard that he is still the second captain of the team. The person next to him snorted and chirped, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched.
"Hmph. Isn't it just a La Liga promotion horse? What's the big deal, let's go, I can't see the villain's proud appearance! After this man finished speaking, he shook the yellow hair on his head and walked straight onto the bus to the training base.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xu finally got rid of the entanglement of the reporters. Under the guidance of the staff, I also boarded the bus.
There were already several players on the bus who had reported before Zhang Xu, leaning on the seats of the bus, some chatting, some dozing, and some listening to music with headphones on.
After Zhang Xu came up, he walked directly to the back of the bus, and every time he passed a player, he stretched out his hand and said politely: "Hello, I'm Zhang Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
For Zhang Xu, there is no one who does not know him in the domestic football world, but he is still just a fledgling freshman in the national team.
Therefore, when he greeted him warmly, most people would politely return the salute out of respect for him, but there were still some people who reacted very flatly and rolled their eyelids to indicate that they knew, and some people didn't even bother to raise their eyelids.
For these people, Zhang Xu is also a little annoyed in his heart, the basic politeness is gone, do you still expect his ball quality to be good?
However, for the sake of the overall unity of the national team, Zhang Xu still endured his anger and continued to walk towards the back of the bus.
The back of the bus was empty, and basically no one sat in the back, and most of the players who arrived first sat in the front. Zhang Xu doesn't mind, it's okay like this, he can just be quiet and quiet alone.
He sat down, pulled out his headphones, and closed his eyes to soft music.
I don't know how much time passed, he suddenly felt that his shoulder was tapped, and then an explosive voice sounded in his ears: "Hi, Zhang Xu!" Haha, you're Zhang Xu, it's really you! Attaboy! ”
Zhang Xu opened his eyes and saw that it was Wang Dalei, the No. 2 goalkeeper of the national team.
"Brother Wang! Sorry, I was listening to music! Zhang Xu stood up, stretched out his right hand, and shook hands with Wang Dalei warmly.
"I was still strange just now, who is that, why is he sitting in the back and dozing off alone, I didn't expect it to be our famous Zhang Xu! Ha ha! Wang Dalei's voice was always so loud that it shook Zhang Xu's ears for a while.
"What a great name! Brother Wang laughed! Zhang Xu said modestly, then pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Brother Wang, sit down, it is estimated that there will be a period of time before the train departs." ”
"Okay!" Wang Dalei smiled heartily, then leaned back on the seat next to Zhang Xu and said, "Come on, tell me about your experience in Europe!" In the past, I always listened to others or the media, but it was not enjoyable, so it was better to listen to myself! ”
"Okay, since Brother Wang wants to hear it, let's talk about it casually!" Zhang Xu liked Wang Dalei's hearty personality quite a lot, and he was not pretentious, so he began to briefly talk about his experience in Europe.
In this way, the two started a pleasant chat at the back of the bus.
After a while, a player whom Zhang Xu respected very much boarded the bus, and he was Zheng Zhi, who used to play for Charlton.
As the captain of the national team, Zheng Zhi naturally has a domineering spirit, and when he boarded the bus, almost everyone waved to him.
Zheng Zhi also smiled frequently and waved to the players, and those who came up with him were naturally the other six national players from the same club as him.
"Wow, isn't this Zhang Xu?" When Zheng Zhi was greeting the players, he suddenly saw Zhang Xu sitting with Wang Dalei, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then pretended to be surprised and shouted.
"Brother Zheng, hello!" Zhang Xu stood up and greeted politely.
"Okay, you're welcome, sit down! This is your first time in the national team, how does it feel? When Zheng Zhi spoke, he exuded an aura as the captain of the national team.
"It's good, I'm naturally very happy to see Brother Zheng and all the big brothers who have admired the fame for a long time!" Zhang Xu lowered his body very low.
Zheng Zhi laughed: "Haha, you kid, you are very modest!" How did I hear that when you were in La Liga, you were also very domineering! I can't see it at all! ”
"Hehe, I naturally have to be domineering with foreigners, after all, I am Chinese, but you and your eldest brother are my brothers, my seniors, naturally you must maintain enough respect!"
"Well, that's a good point! We Chinese, abroad, even in the face of a strong opponent, the waist pole has to stand up straight for me! This is the style of our Chinese nation, and this is the true color of our Chinese! Zheng Zhi applauded loudly.
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's a pity that now, I'm afraid you are the only one who can gain a firm foothold in the European arena!" Zhang Xu, kick well and play the pride of our Chinese! We've got your back! ”
"Yes, Zhang Xu, we support you! Come on! Wang Dalei also said seriously on the side.
"Thank you!" Zheng Zhi's words made Zhang Xu's heart warm.
"But, hehe," Zheng Zhiwei said with a laugh, "First of all, you have to play this warm-up match against New Zealand!" ”
"Don't worry, Brother Zheng, as long as the head coach Mr. Camacho lets me go, I will definitely not disappoint you and your big brothers!" Zhang Xu immediately expressed his position.
"Haha, okay, okay, just waiting for your words!" Zheng Zhi patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder and laughed loudly.
Zhang Xu and Zheng Zhi were talking loudly, so all the players on the bus heard it, some nodded their heads repeatedly, and some showed disdainful and contemptuous expressions.
After Zheng Zhi and the others came up, the bus finally started slowly and drove towards the training base in the suburbs.
Along the way, Zhang Xu chatted with Zheng Zhi, Wang Dalei and others quite happily, laughing and laughing.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bus finally stopped.
As the players walked off the bus one by one, they saw a row of dormitories and office buildings in the middle of a dense forest, and in front of the buildings was a football training field.
This is the training venue they will use for the next five days. (To be continued.) )
