When Lazio left for the United Arab Emirates, all the members of the Chinese national team who trained at the Fermelo training base also left for Madrid, where they will train at the training base in Getafe and then play a warm-up match against the Spanish national team in Madrid.

This is naturally arranged for them by Changsheng.

With the relationship between Lazio and Getafe, it was easy for Getafe to provide training and accommodation.

Moreover, the Chinese team can also let Getafe play a teaching match half-busily.

This point was made clear to Gao Hongbo before Chang Sheng left Rome.

He also specifically asked Gao Hongbo to talk more about Benitez if he had nothing to do, and Getafe's head coach Benitez was a tactical idiot, obsessed with the study of tactics, and Chang Sheng discussed tactics with him, and felt that he benefited a lot.

Of course, Benitez didn't know, and he thought he had benefited a lot......

Therefore, Chang Sheng recommended Benitez to Gao Hongbo and asked them to talk more, maybe they will provide a lot of help to the Chinese team in the Great Asian Cup.

And this time, Gao Hongbo did gain a lot.

He was shocked to find out that a manager who was a relegated team in La Liga Getafe had such excellent insight and ability, and he was also surprised that Chang Sheng was so close to Benitez - how many people did Chang Sheng know!

Although he had studied and worked at Lazio for a while, his contact with Chang Sheng began when he left Lazio.

So he still doesn't know much about Chang Sheng.

This time he came to the Vermelo training base to train, and he gradually learned a lot of things that Chang Sheng didn't know before.

For example, he can make two phone calls to complete the warm-up plan of the Chinese team, and let strong teams such as World Cup champions Spain and Germany do sparring for the Chinese team......

This completely refreshed his previous understanding of Changsheng.

After playing against Germany, the Chinese national team returned to Vermelo, and Chang Sheng also met Gao Hongbo again.

The two got together, and Gao Hongbo first congratulated Chang Sheng on winning the six crowns. And Chang Sheng asked Gao Hongbo about the harvest of this trip.

"The harvest is great!" Gao Hongbo looked excited. "I lost against the real world teams, but I learned from myself and the players, especially against Spain. They are worthy of a strong team that can win the European Championship and the World Cup in a row. ”

In these two warm-up games, Chang Sheng watched the broadcast through the TV set.

Spain defeated China 5-1 at the Bernabeu.

Although the Chinese team scored five goals, it is also remarkable that the Chinese team can still score a goal against a team like Spain.

So the defeat didn't hurt the morale of the players at all, but it only boosted the confidence of the players - we scored for Casillas!

Only media outlets like Sports Weekly chanted that the warm-up matches arranged by the Chinese team were almost amateurish. Playing against the world's best teams before the Asian Cup doesn't mean anything other than a confidence blow. Spain, Germany, and China's warm-up opponents looked star-studded, but they were very unwise at this time. The Chinese team should find an Asian team to warm up. Instead of running to Europe to be abused by people.

For such a voice, Gao Hongbo ignored it.

In the match with the German team, the Chinese national team also showed quite tenacity, although they still lost the game 1:3 in the end, but they still scored goals, which is very remarkable.

Against strong teams like Spain and Germany, they were able to score goals in a row.

That's really remarkable.

The players of the Chinese national team can come back with their heads held high.

In fact, that's what they do. Losing two warm-up games in a row did not affect the mood of the Chinese players, who looked very excited when they came back.

This training camp in Europe has opened their eyes. Not only did they receive some of the best training in Europe at Vermelo, but they were also able to warm up with teams like Spain and Germany, and Lazio from the best teams in European football trained with them and played with them......

This treatment. They feel that Brazil is nothing more than that. Probably not as good as both.

Training in the best places in Europe gives them a lot of confidence. I have my own vision for the Asian Cup that will start next.

According to the plan of the Chinese team, they will end their training camp on the 27th, leave Lazio, and go to Qatar.

But before that, they still have to meet Chang Sheng.

At the end of the day's training, Gao Hongbo informed the whole team: "Take a shower, change clothes, and go to the banquet!" ”

"Banquet?" Everyone was surprised, I didn't hear of any special arrangements for the national team.

Gao Hongbo explained to them: "It is Coach Chang's personal invitation to invite us to Christmas, and in addition, it can be regarded as a grand trip for us to go to Qatar to play the Asian Cup." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, but they were also surprised by the generosity of the victory.

It stands to reason that this kind of dinner is the responsibility of the Football Association, but Christmas is not a legal holiday in China, so there will be no celebrations. If everyone is like a holiday, then go to the place where you go to play in private.

Of course, at such a time, it is impossible to get them out of the training base.

Their main mission here is to study intensively, not to travel.

It's been almost a month since they came to Italy, and they've only been to the city three times.

Chang Shengken paid out of his own pocket to invite them to dinner, which surprised them.

These days, at Lazio, they can have regular contact with Chang Sheng, and they have a new understanding of the legendary coach Chang Sheng.

He's so strict in training......

Some people think that their ability in the national team is outstanding, and before coming to Vermello, they fantasized about their performances, and then they were valued by the constant victory, and finally joined Lazio.

As a result, after watching other people's training, I retreated.

Not to mention anything else, it's the intensity of the training, they feel that they can't bear it.

And winning often requires the players to pay absolute attention to their energy in training and not to be distracted. On the one hand, because it is a disciplinary requirement, and on the other hand. Lazio train intensively and get tired easily, and if you get distracted in training, you can get yourself injured or your teammates injured. If you are injured yourself, it is okay to cause your teammates to be injured, then you are very sorry for your teammates......

It seems that in Lazio, this money and honor are not easy to earn......

As their understanding of Chang Sheng deepened, they also admired their compatriot more and more.

A Chinese who fights alone in European football. It is really not easy to achieve his current status, and it is inseparable from his usual efforts.

Unconsciously, Chang Sheng's status in the minds of these players is already very high, and even ...... is higher than his head coach Gao Hongbo and high guidance.

Of course. They didn't think there was anything disrespectful to Gao Hongbo and Gao Gui, anyway, Gao Gui had also worked under Chang Sheng, and he had beaten Chang Sheng, and it was normal for Gao Gui to be inferior to Chang Sheng......

As soon as they heard that it was Chang Sheng's treat, everyone quickly took a shower and changed their clothes. None of them brought any clothes with them, except for the national team suits for official occasions. The main thing is the national team sportswear provided by the sponsors.

A group of players from the Chinese national team, all wearing red and black national team jerseys, participated in the Christmas dinner held for them by Chang Sheng.

The Lazio Club bus took them to a palatial restaurant in downtown Rome, where they were decorated for a short time. You know that this is a high-end restaurant, and it will definitely cost a lot of money to eat here.

Many people smack their tongues, and the legend is that Chang Sheng is rich. It seems to be true......

This is different from the usual national team dinner, which is a buffet, where everyone sits around a large round table. Then the waiters serve the dishes in order.

It's a more formal feast.

The players on the national team training list alone are 30 people, plus the coaches, team leaders, and staff, it is about 40 people.

A table of ten people is exactly four tables.

Chang Sheng brought his family to attend, and everyone also saw the music queen Avril up close.

She doesn't look old after giving birth.

She is said to be planning a comeback.

The players of the Chinese national team are all stars in China, and they have to wear sunglasses on the street, for fear of being recognized by fans.

As a result, here, they behave more like star-chasers who have never seen the world......

※※※

Before the dinner began, no leaders spoke.

Because it was a private banquet for the national team, it was naturally not the turn of the leader of the national team, an official of the Football Association, Wei Shaohui, to speak.

With such a little rule, the people of the Football Association still understand.

On other people's turf, it's not your turn.

This time he came to dinner.

Everyone seems to have their eyes set on Chang Sheng.

If there is no leader to speak, the host has to say a few words, right?

Sure enough, after Chang Sheng and Gao Hongbo whispered a few words, they pulled out their chairs and stood up.

Then a waiter handed a wireless microphone.

He really had something to say.

Chang Sheng does have something to say, he invited everyone to this meal, not just to give them a holiday.

He has a stomach full of things to say to them, as a Chinese fan in his previous life, to say to them.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary Chinese fan, and he was not qualified or had the opportunity to stand in front of these international players and speak.

But now, he has changed his identity, and he can finally have such an opportunity.

He wants to tell the players of these national teams what he has said for the rest of his life.

Because he's not sure if anyone has said that to them before, and if so, let him talk about it once, and if not, then make himself the first person and let him give these players a heads-up.

And he felt that if he was just a fan in his previous life, even if he had the opportunity to say this, I am afraid that no one would listen to him.

But now, when he speaks to them as the most successful soccer manager in China's history, he believes that there is still something to be heard......
