No one expected that what was supposed to be a very joyous Christmas dinner would turn into a tirade that often wins one person.

But what made Wei Shaohui feel strange was that the players of the Chinese national team were not impatient and disgusted by Chang Sheng's statement.

They were silent and listening.

He was surprised.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that Chang Sheng would say these words at this time.

"The Asian Cup is just around the corner, and it's not a training session, nor is it a warm-up match. I think everyone should know what kind of competition this is. This is your national team's first international tournament. Actually, you shouldn't have any pressure, the media talks about pressure all the time, I don't know what kind of pressure you can have. Chinese fans, no one thinks you can win the championship, they don't even expect you to reach the semi-finals. They just want you to do well, play well on the pitch, be mentally resilient and ...... Just qualify from the group. ”

Chang Sheng talked about the Asian Cup.

"You see, what a simple goal, just to qualify from the group, just play well, don't always break down easily, that's enough. Can't you do it? You did a great job in the warm-ups. But don't let people say you're the king of warm-up races, that's not a nice title. Now I believe you can do that, because you have the most advanced training here, and you train hard. I can say without exaggeration that you are now at a level that has surpassed the players in the country, but unfortunately you can only train here for less than a month, and if you can train here for a longer period of time, your level will be even higher. ”

Chang Sheng did not use his training skills against the Chinese national team, it was not that he was selfish. It's that he doesn't need it. Training skills can only be used on his own team, and the Chinese national team is not his team, so he can't use it.

But even so, Chang Sheng knows that the players of the Chinese national team have improved by training here.

Because when they first came, Chang Sheng swept with [Golden Pupil] and knew their data, and now when they scan it with [Golden Pupil], they can find that many players' attribute values have increased to a certain extent.

That's progress, real progress.

"Why? Because you've survived our training. It was really hard, but I think you've also seen what training is like for Lazio, and I'm not exaggerating to say it's five times harder than what you're getting here. ”

Chang Sheng stretched out a slap in the face.

"There are a lot of people out there, especially journalists. They like to find the secret to why Lazio can succeed, and they try to find shortcuts in it. But alas, there are no tricks and shortcuts, see our training? That's the only way Lazio is successful, we train harder than them, we train better than them, we train more scientifically than them. And you guys. The same training was received. So, you also have the foundation for success. ”

The reason why Chang Sheng said these is because the players of the Chinese national team will always lack some self-confidence and play warm-up games. Or play a weak team, they are prone to pride and underestimate the enemy. And when they play against strong teams, or against evenly matched opponents, they tend to lose confidence.

The psychology of Chinese players has always been criticized. It's not an excuse, it's a fact.

Now this batch of players. Changsheng hopes to give them some confidence.

He thought that if he had said these things himself, he might have more credibility.

Finally, Chang Sheng raised his glass again: "That's all I have to say, boys. Remember everything I said, you have the foundation for success, but you have to work harder to succeed. Play well in this Asian Cup, no matter what the result is, play well in every game and show what you usually have in training. I don't think it will be too bad. ”

"I'm going to watch every one of your games and I'm going to cheer you on. Because I am a Chinese, a Chinese fan, and you are the Chinese national team, I put my hope and happiness on you. I am not the only one who is like this, there are hundreds of millions of people like me in the whole of China, this is pressure, but it is also motivation, because you are not alone! In any case, when you encounter difficulties and want to give up, look down at your heart, that is the flag of our country, what it represents, I think any Chinese will be very clear, and I hope you will be clear. You are the ones who can't give up easily! Die on the pitch in Doha! ”

"What an honour it is to be able to represent your country at international competitions as a professional. Cherish this opportunity, so that when you retire and recall the 2011 Asian Cup, you don't have to feel guilty and regretful, and you don't have to face the inquiries of your children and grandchildren, you can proudly say to your children and grandchildren: I fight for the flag on my chest, do my best, I have no regrets! ”

"Come on! For no regrets! Done! ”

After speaking, Chang Sheng raised his neck and drank it all.

The players of the Chinese national team looked at each other.

At this time, Gao Hongbo also stood up, also raised his wine glass, and said to his players: "Didn't you hear? For this Asian Cup, no regrets, do it! ”

After saying that, the shy man also tilted his neck and dried the wine in the wine glass.

Wei Shaohui and other members of the coaching staff also stood up and did it.

Driven by them, all the players of the Chinese national team also stood up, raised their glasses, and dried.

When they dried the juice, they felt a little burning in their throats, as if they were drinking soju instead of juice.

Then they feel the hot blood surging up in their bodies.

In order not to leave regrets for your career and the national team career in this Asian Cup, this time, fight!

Let's not think about what the final result is, fight game by game! It's enough to fight for one, it's enough to fight for two, and the more you fight, the more you earn!

After the dinner, Gao Hongbo found Chang Sheng: "Thank you, Lao Chang." ”

"Hey, what's there to thank?" Chang Sheng waved his hand, looking unconcerned.

"You gave us the venue, guided us in training, and connected us with high-level warm-up opponents...... Now you're helping me boost my morale and do pre-war mobilization...... And you don't pay to do all this...... I really don't know what to say anymore. ”

Chang Sheng smiled: "Do you remember the first time we met, Lao Gao?" In the restaurant of Fermello, I decided to let you come to Lazio to work and study, and you asked me why I did it without returning, and how did I answer? ”

Gao Hongbo nodded: "Yes, of course I do." That was the first time I've seen you lose your temper. ”

Chang Sheng smiled and said with emotion: "Yes, gaffe...... Anyway, I am also Chinese, although I have always been in Europe, I love my motherland, I am still a football coach, so I want football in my home country to be good, even if it is just a little, even if it is only temporary, I also hope it is good. Before, I didn't have the ability to help it, but now I have the ability, and I do these things, as they should. I'll say something utilitarian, Lao Gao. Football in our country is doing well, the fans are happy, those of us who rely on football for a living...... to be able to live a nourishing life! ”

Gao Hongbo was also amused by Chang Sheng's last words. "You're telling the truth. I see, although you don't count in return, I personally want to thank you. ”

Chang Sheng patted him on the shoulder: "Do a good job in Qatar, don't be afraid of the host, that game is a rare opportunity for the Chinese team to exercise, your team will learn how to play in adversity, which is more important than the Asian Cup championship." Come on. ”

Gao Hongbo nodded vigorously.

"Maybe we can't put Chinese football on the right path of development, but I think through the efforts of our people, at least we can bring some happiness to Chinese fans, and that's enough. Chinese fans, who shed too many tears, should be smiling. ”

Chang Sheng squeezed Gao Hongbo's shoulder hard, and finally said this.

※※※

Two days later, Gao Hongbo and his national team said goodbye to Lazio, left Rome, Italy, and flew to Qatar.

They will fight for their country.

Chang Sheng, on the other hand, went on his own vacation - the family left Rome and returned to China, to his mother's hometown, after all, the child is old and has not yet returned.

This is a visit to relatives in China.

The relatives of Chang Sheng's mother's hometown are very enthusiastic, especially the one who is the most famous person in their family, the most promising back, and has also taken a beautiful foreign star as his daughter-in-law.

So relatives from far away came to join in the fun.

In the past few days, Avril has really experienced a Chinese-style "New Year".

After ten days in their hometown, the family of five returned to Rome, Italy.

The parents continue to help Chang Sheng with the children in Rome, while Avril is about to start preparing for her new song.

In the past two years, she has not put down music in her spare time, and will write some songs to play.

However, her music style has changed now, and after having children, she began to incorporate more tenderness into her original rock style.

Every time she writes a new song, she hums it to Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng thinks it's very good.

This gave Avril full of confidence, and she decided to wait for her son to turn one year old and start working hard for her comeback.

Although their family no longer needs to rely on her to earn money to support the family.

But music is Avril's hobby, and she won't give up.

And Chang Sheng also has to put in intense work.

He has a great idea, but it is not so easy to realize it, it is like a flower, it must be watered by sweat before it can bloom.

ps: For the sake of Chang Sheng saying so many things from his heart, how many monthly passes will I give?
