Chapter 339 The legendary man

In the hotel where the Chinese team stayed, Fu Bo met Gao Zheng.

He was very happy: "I was unable to cooperate with you when I was u22, and I didn't expect to meet in the national team."

Fu Bo once coached U22 in 2011, but Gao Zheng had just played again in Sampdoria's reserve team. U22 didn't know that this former talented striker of the national youth team had returned to the football field.

Fu Bo's u22 was originally intended to participate in the first u22 Asian Youth Championship, but later because the Football Association wanted to prepare for the Rio Olympics in advance, u22 was disbanded. Last year, u19 replaced u22 to participate in the u22 Asian Youth Championship.

If u22 continues to exist, Fu Bo will definitely recruit Gao Zheng to join the team.

In the end, he became Camacho's assistant coach.

Fu Bo's term of office was only eight days, and he stepped down after leading the Chinese team to play the East Asian Cup.

But because he led the team to perform well in the East Asian Cup, the Football Association extended his acting coach contract.

Now his mission is to lead the Chinese team to the remaining four Asian Cup qualifiers.

Some domestic media expressed concern and dissatisfaction with this decision. They believed that it was too difficult to let Fu Bo, who is incompetent, be the head coach of the national team and give him the task of qualifying for the Asian Cup.

They were not optimistic about Fu Bo, who was neither capable nor famous at all.

As for Fu Bo's performance in the East Asian Cup, they also think that's not good. However, after everyone lost to Thailand 1:5, the team's performance requirements dropped to the lowest in history. Only then did they feel that Fu Bo's runner-up in the East Asian Cup led by Fu Bo is a good result.

Is Fu Bo under pressure?

There must be, and it's not small.

There has been no doubts about him in China. The most important thing is that if the Chinese team really misses the Asian Cup under his leadership, then his life will be difficult.

Since participating in the Asian Cup for the first time in 1976, China has not missed nine consecutive Asian Cups. If this tradition is broken by Fu Bo's hands, he will indeed not be able to explain it to the Football Association and Chinese fans.

At this moment, Gao Zheng was able to return to China to participate in the competition, which was of course a great thing for him.

So he seemed very happy after seeing Gao Zheng.

"I also heard what you said in an interview at the airport. I think you said it right. Actually, I am really a little worried that our players will underestimate the enemy..."

Gao Zheng was a little surprised: "You still underestimate the enemy? No? I think with the level of the national team, I'm afraid you are not qualified to underestimate the enemy."

Fu Bo smiled bitterly and said, "I just have this kind of worry. After all, Indonesia is the weakest team in the group. If everyone thinks so, it may be dangerous. That's why I think what you said at the airport is very good and sounded the alarm for everyone in advance. This game is really not to be lost. If we cannot defeat Indonesia away, the next game against Saudi Arabia and Iraq will be very passive."

"I will do my best." Gao Zheng nodded. Of course, there is no reason to preserve his strength when playing for the country, and he also wants to participate in the Asian Cup.

"Then I'll arrange for you to start? Your physical fitness..."

"It's absolutely fine." Gao Zheng shook his head. "I have a good rest. Such a little distance has no effect on me."

Fu Bo was very happy: "When you have lunch later, you can meet your teammates. Everyone is easy to get along with. There is no such thing as forming cliques in our team. So there is no need to worry."

Gao Zheng nodded: "I'm not worried, coach, I'll be with anyone."

※※※

During lunch, Gao Zheng appeared in front of his national teammates for the first time.

He is very unfamiliar with this national team, both for himself and for his teammates.

It’s not that he has not participated in the competition of national teams, but that was all the time in 2007. At that time, he performed well in the AC Milan youth team and was naturally selected for the U17 National Youth Team and participated in several friendly matches. He performed well.

If everything goes well, he will transition from u17 to u19 and enter the u19 national youth team led by Song Maozhen to prepare for the Asian Youth Youth Championship. If he can win the top four Asian Youth Championship, he can participate in the World Youth Championship. At that time, Gao Zheng will appear on the stage of the World Youth Championship for the first time.

At that time, many people in China were full of expectations for Gao Zheng, hoping that he could lead this youth team to achieve achievements that his predecessors had not achieved.

Just when fans and the media have high expectations for him, everyone knows what will happen next.

Because of the injury, Gao Zheng didn't even play a few games in U17. When Song Maozhen formed U19, he didn't even enter the selection range.

When the National Youth Team failed to get into the World Youth Championship in Zibo, Shandong and missed the World Youth Championship, Gao Zheng was scrambling to live in the old man's football training class.

It's really good that fate is trying to make people.

Although Gao Zheng has returned to the national team now, there is no one he knows in this national team.

Teammates who played once in the National Youth Team and the National Youth Team were not selected for this national team.

And those players of the same age as him in this national team have never fought side by side with him at the beginning.

If Gao Zheng was not injured and would not miss Song Mao's real u19, then Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe, and Jin Jidao will all be his teammates in Fu Bo's national team.

In the restaurant, in front of the players of the team, Gao Zheng bowed to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Gao Zheng. I have been selected for the national team for the first time. Please take care of me!"

His actions shocked everyone in the restaurant.

Although they had never had contact with Gao Zheng before, it does not mean they did not know about Gao Zheng.

With the news that Gao Zheng has made in Italian football, who may not know about anyone in China who is involved in football?

In media reports, Gao Zheng gave people the impression of being arrogant. After all, he was the one who said in front of the Italian media: "I, Gao Zheng, are the dick" and "the mountain is there."

Therefore, people who are not familiar with Gao Zheng will take it for granted that Gao Zheng is a person who is very difficult to get along with and is very arrogant.

Before Gao Zheng came, everyone in the national team knew that Gao Zheng was coming this time, and they were muttering in private.

I am worried that it is not good for this super genius who has become famous at a young age and is now at its peak.

What if he is a thorny person and causes trouble everywhere?

Yes, the players who play football in China may not be as capable as Gao Zheng, and their grades are not as good as those of the Serie A Golden Boot Scorers. But China is a society that is about qualifications. After all, some of them are old internationals for many years. If such a newcomer gives a stunt, where can they put this face?

They have thought about many possibilities, worrying about this and that.

As a result, the first thing Gao Zheng did after he came was to bow to them!

This really happened to a group of international players.

Someone was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.

The team captain Zheng Zhi quickly waved his hand: "If we don't do that, we will be comrades-in-arms when we enter the national team, and we are all our own people. We have heard about you, and you can still return to the football field, and everyone is happy for you."

"Yes, yes, it's amazing. You can still achieve such a success after such a serious injury!" Feng Xiaoting stepped forward and patted Gao Zheng's shoulder, praising him affectionately.

Others came forward to greet Gao Zheng and shook hands with him.

This made the head coach Fu Bo, who was watching this scene next to him, breathed a sigh of relief. This legendary outside world is so crazy. Even Buffon dared not give him face. The super genius who started a war with half of the Italian media was actually not as scary as they said...

※※※

During the afternoon training, a large number of media gathered on the side of the training ground of the Chinese team, and in addition to the Chinese media, there were also a large number of Indonesian media.

The other Chinese players knew who they were visiting - they had been to Indonesia for two days, and they did not have so many media training before. The number of Chinese media has not changed much, and now there are many media in Indonesia.

Everyone's long spears and short cannons were aimed at Gao Zheng on the training ground.

Because the time for public shooting is only fifteen minutes, the reporters are very focused on their work.

In front of the reporters, Fu Bo's Chinese team was conducting a simple warm-up training, and there was no need to worry about being seen by Indonesian reporters on the Chinese team's tactical arrangements.

If they want to see Gao Zheng, they will see it.

Gao Zheng played a warm-up game with his teammates during training.

In the footage of the reporters, Gao Zheng played a fancy job and blocked the football from the teammate who came to snatch it and passed it over.

The teammates who were penetrated by the crotch made a move to chase Gao Zheng, but Gao Zheng had already run away.

The teammates gave out a burst of cheers and laughter.

Seeing this scene, I believe no one will feel that Gao Zheng has a bad relationship with his new teammates.

The Chinese journalists breathed a sigh of relief - Gao Zheng and other internationals looked pretty good, and at least they could be kidding.

This is good news. If the national team can be united, then we can look forward to Gao Zheng's normal performance. If Gao Zheng is affected by factional struggles within the national team, no matter how talented he is, he will be ruined.

Indonesian journalists were disappointed.

They originally hoped that Gao Zheng's sudden arrival could break the balance within the Chinese team and intensify the contradictions. Isn't it that the Chinese people are best at fighting in the nest? Didn't it mean that the Chinese national team has always had a tradition of internal strife?

So when a arrogant man like Gao Zheng suddenly appears in the national team, his strong strength and shallow qualifications collide with those teammates who are not strong but are all old, what sparks will it create?

Is it enough to ignite this powder barrel?

But looking at this scene, the powder keg in the Chinese team was obviously safe.
