Chapter 137 Asian star players
The 11-hour long flight was not long, at least better than those players who flew back to South America, but Yang Chen and Zheng Zhi who got off the plane still looked painful, feeling weak and a little exhausted. However, Ali Dai was still powerful when he got off the plane, and his physique was really not covered.
After taking a taxi, I went straight to the hotel where the team was staying, and then hurriedly met head coach Horton, and they went back to the room to rest. They needed to adjust the jet lag as soon as possible to keep up with the team's pace.
After hearing that Zheng Zhi came, Zhao Junzhe did not consider Zheng Zhi's tired journey. He came to knock on the door after lying down for more than an hour. Zheng Zhi still welcomed him into the room. However, Yang Chen, who was in the same room, was unhappy and was sleeping comfortably. He was definitely not very unhappy to be disturbed.
He couldn't help but lay on the bed and cursed a few times.
"Who are you?"
"How long have you been sleeping?"
"Silly c,"
Zhao Junzhe apologized embarrassedly and then retreated.
"Are you playing a big shot, grass?" Zhao Junzhe was also a little unhappy, but after all, he was in the wrong and didn't take it too seriously. During dinner that day, Zhao Junzhe and Zheng Zhi sat together.
They disappeared for several months, and the two of them spoke more than saliva, and Li Weifeng also surrounded them.
Soon, when Li Jinyu came in, the Liaoning Gang basically gathered together. Seeing everyone surround Zheng Zhi lively, Li Jinyu's eyes flashed a little. Perhaps his study abroad was not so smooth, and when compared with Zheng Zhi, it seemed too dim, so he had this reaction.
The injury made him do well in Nancy, with no highlights, but he still flew back with the national team's call this time, and it was four days earlier than Zheng Zhi and the others.
"Brother Yu," Zheng Zhi stood up politely and greeted Li Jinyu.
Li Jinyu nodded, feeling very satisfied. Although Zheng Zhi was famous, he still respected him very much.
"Zheng Zhi, yes, Europe is famous now, I'm envious of you." Patting Zheng Zhi's shoulder, Li Jinyu also sat down.
"Brother Yu, you're not bad either. You scored in the French Cup as soon as you came back."
...
Not far away, there is another table of Dalian Gang. Hao Haixi, Sun Jihai, Wang Peng, Zhang Enhua...
The third table is quite complicated, including Fan Zhiyi, Jiang Jun, Ma Mingyu, Yao Xia, etc.
Yang Chen originally wanted to come over to have a table with Zheng Zhi, but when he saw that there were too many people on their side, he simply went with Huang Yong and the others.
Perhaps this is the situation, perhaps a subtle portrayal of the locker room...
When the coaching staff members such as Horton and Zhu Guanghu arrived, everyone had basically eaten the food on the table.
Early the next morning, Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen finally started training with the team, but did not participate in the joint training, because the Chinese team was going to play in the first stage of the group stage that night, and their first opponent was Lebanon. To be on the safe side, Horton still played with the original lineup, and Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen were impossible to be on the roster.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the team went to Suratani. Thai fans were very enthusiastic. Although it was not a match for their own country, they still bought tickets and entered the stadium to watch the game.
Tickets for this Asian Games are not cheap, with student tickets ranging from 10 baht and adult tickets ranging from 100 to 300 baht. Thais, who have suffered from the financial crisis, complained about this. Due to the enthusiastic audience and insufficient tickets, ticket sellers took the opportunity to enter and began to speculate in the black market: 100 baht to 300 baht, 00 baht to 500 baht, and 300 baht to 700 baht. Some ticket sellers held more than 50 tickets to sell to others, which caused dissatisfaction among the people. Thai police continued to attack and cracked down on ticket sellers, and dozens of people have been arrested so far.
Judging from the current situation, Thai football fans' passion for football has increased.
"That's Zheng Zhi,"
"That's Yang Chen."
Thai boys who like to watch the Bundesliga live broadcast soon recognized Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen on the bench of the Chinese team.
"They don't? Then I bought this ticket in vain?"
"Oh, the week's living expenses."
"Don't mention it, after watching the Asian Games, it's probably enough for me to have sex change surgery..."
...
Compared to Vietnamese, Thai children are much more cute.
There are also many Chinese fans who come here to watch football, with an estimated number of more than 4,000 people. If it is a simple football game, perhaps so many people have not come yet. The main reason is this is the Asian Games. Many people are not just watching one or two events.
The Chinese team was also very successful and did not disappoint the Chinese fans who watched the game on the spot. In the end, China defeated Lebanon 4-1, with the goals scored by Fan Zhiyi, Ma Mingyu, Li Jinyu and Wang Peng.
Although Li Jinyu was not very satisfied with France, after returning four days earlier, he immediately showed good goals and scored his first Asian Games goal.
However, after the game, except for captain Fan Zhiyi, these guys were not the focus of media attention.
On the contrary, Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen, who did not play in the game, were stopped by Chinese media reporters for interviews.
Wang Qinbo of "Sports Weekly" grabbed Zheng Zhi and asked, "Are you looking forward to playing for the Chinese team?"
"Of course, I can't wait!"
Zheng Zhi smiled, and then handed the microphone to Yang Chen again.
"The four forwards of the Chinese team, two of them have scored goals. Are you under pressure?"
"Of course there are. They are all so good, so I'm under a lot of pressure."
"Iran next door, Ali Dai scored 2 goals, what do you think?"
"He has always been one of the most terrifying strikers in Asia, and it's not surprising to score."
"Ali Daiyi said Iran can win the Asian Games championship, what do you think?"
"Iran is currently the most powerful team in Asia. Of course they have this strength, and they say it's normal."
"Zheng Zhi, what do you think?"
"I have a premonition that we will meet them. Wouldn't you know the result then?" Zheng Zhi shrugged. He was not so arrogant that he said that the Chinese team could win the championship, which would be joked about. He was tortured by Iran in two rounds last year so that he couldn't recognize his parents. If he met again this year, it would be better to be low-key...
It is obvious that Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen are star players in the Chinese team, which is incomparable to other players, even Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai and Li Jinyu, who also studied abroad, are incomparable to them.
Hao Haixi was most touched. He was really not used to walking back to the locker room alone. No one in the mixed area paid attention to him?
In the past, he and Fan Zhiyi were the focus of journalists in the news media, but this time the reporter almost forgot him. When did the reporters from CCBV5, the reporters from "Sports Weekly" and "Football" revolve around him? Just because he didn't score a goal in the first game?
No,
Not just that...
It is because Yang Chen and Zheng Zhi got along, and they were far better than both of them and more dazzling. They are real star players, even players of Ali Dai are not as good as them.
