Chapter One Thirty-Eight Start, debut, but one armband missing
Before walking onto the bus, Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen were surrounded by Chinese fans and could not leave. Hundreds of fans surrounded the bus, so Horton had to let others wait on the bus, and then specially cleared a place for Zheng Zhi and the others to interact with the fans.
"Tsk tsk,"
"When can I do this too?"
Zhao Junzhe lay in front of the glass window, his eyes full of envy.
"Study abroad, you will have this opportunity if you study abroad."
Zhang Yonghai encouraged him next to him.
Then he joked about Zhang Yuming, "Yu Ming, you are stunned this time. You can eat well in China. Here, there are no more fans."
"Look, there are Korean girls."
"Tsk tsk..."
Zhang Yuming rolled his eyes, "You can't say anything, I haven't slept with Korean female fans yet."
“…”
"Where are Thai girls? Have you tried it?" At first glance, there are still many Thai fans.
"Not last time..."
...
After nearly an hour of tossing, Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen returned to the bus and finally got out of this damn place.
But when I returned to the entrance of the hotel where the team stayed, the scene became chaotic again.
"It's not over, fortunately I don't have to wait for them anymore. Being a star is also tiring."
"They are the real stars."
Zhang Yonghai is really able to chat.
Li Jinyu, who was walking behind, kept silent. He felt complicated. He was studying abroad, but no one cared about it. The gap was too big...
Horton was also intercepted by a reporter from the Football News at the door.
"Bobby, when can Zheng Heyang enter?"
Horton obviously had prepared for a long time.
"The coaching staff is also discussing this issue, maybe, the next game. We try to make them integrate into the team more quickly."
Holden has sent a strong signal.
We can't just let Zheng Zhi and the others play until the rematch. The players need tacit understanding. The second game against Cambodia is an absolute rookie in Asia. In the first game, they won Lebanon 4:1, and the second game is losing. As long as there is no more than 3 goals, they can advance. There is nothing to worry about, and it is a great time to train.
The next day, Horton indeed adjusted the lineup, and Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen entered the main lineup at the same time. Isn’t this what Horton wants the most?
Zhang Yuming and Yang Chen form a forward partner, Hao Haixi and Wang Peng are substituting the bench and midfielder, Zheng Zhi replaces Huang Yong.
In fact, this team is not unfamiliar to Zheng Zhi. Many people have partnered with him. There are too many players from Liaoning. Horton's formation today is a bit charming.
Goalkeeper Jiang Jun, defender: Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng
Midfielder: Zhao Junzhe, Li Yin, Zheng Zhi, Ma Mingyu, Li Jinyu
Forward: Zhang Yuming, Yang Chen
Li Jinyu's position is a bit special, and he appears more as a front midfielder. Horton actually loves the 442 formation, but in order to simulate Frankfurt's 352 tactics, he used Li Jinyu as Schneider. As for Zheng Zhi's side, he was accompanied by Li Yin and Sui Xiliang...
The training effect is very good. Yang Chen did not seem helpless because of his unfamiliar teammates. Although his cooperation with Zhang Yuming was unfamiliar, it was pretty good overall. Li Jinyu often played as a midfielder when he was in the Liaoning team, so there was really no big problem with such a configuration.
Horton was also very satisfied and discussed with the coaching staff again. He would practice according to this lineup in the next two days. During this period, the national team's first striker Hao Haixi and Wang Peng also appeared one after another to replace Zhang Yuming and Yang Chen, but the effect was much worse.
Zheng Zhi knew very well the reason, that is, these two guys are a little lazy...
Wang Peng is standing still, but Hao Haixi doesn't run much. Zhang Yuming was actually very lazy when he was in the National Olympic Team, but he seems to have been stimulated recently. He was very desperate when he appeared on the court. After all, the national team is the national team, and no one dares to relax. Yang Chen is no exception. Although he has made his reputation in the Bundesliga, he is not a big deal in the national team, and he doesn't even score a goal. So neither Zhang Yuming nor Yang Chen, they have no reason to slacket off.
And when the second game came, they naturally got the position.
There was no surprise. The lineup was exactly the same as the training lineup in the past two days. Holden announced the lineup three hours in advance.
This has made Chinese fans and the media quite excited.
ccbv5 began to discuss Holden's lineup in the football program early on.
Zhang Lu was very excited.
"hey-hey,"
"The fans got what they wanted,"
"Zheng Zhi and Yang Chen appeared at the same time."
"This lineup is not the strongest lineup of the Chinese team, because Li Ming, Shen Si, Wu Chengying and other strongest players in the country have not appeared, while Zhang Enhua, Hao Haixi and others sat on the bench."
"But we are still full of expectations, because among the 11 people, Zheng Zhi, Yang Chen, Li Jinyu, Zhang Yuming, Zhao Junzhe, Li Yin, Li Weifeng, and Sun Jihai, 8 of them are young Chinese generations! Although we have brought up to 6 old team members, they are young generations."
"It can almost be said that this is the main framework of the future National Olympic Team."
After listening to Zhang Lu's analysis, the fans in front of the TV were all overjoyed.
"Awesome!"
"There are 5 overseas players among these 11 people!"
"If they can achieve good results in this Asian Games, their future is really limitless!"
...
They were still fighting in Suratani, but the opponent was replaced by rookie Lebanon to Cambodia, but the number of Chinese people who came to watch the game on site actually reached more than 5,000. Even the number of fans scared Cambodia. Cambodians didn't know what this game meant to the Chinese.
"Yang Chen!"
"Yang Chen!"
"Yang Chen!"
"Zheng Zhi!"
"Zheng Zhi!"
"Zheng Zhi!"
Before the opening, almost the whole game was filled with the voices of Yang Chen and Zheng Zhi, especially Yang Chen, as a striker, who surpassed Zheng Zhi. After all, Zheng Zhi is the midfielder, and the forward is the most popular. Yang Chen, who scored 5 goals in the Bundesliga, is the favorite of fans.
"Zhang Yuming,"
"Zhang Yuming..."
Zhang Yuming raised his ears and finally heard some of his own voice.
Not easy...
He, who is known as the most handsome in China, received no mention of the cheers from fans.
This also made him work hard in his heart. He must compete with Yang Chen today. Whoever scores more goals is the best! Taking advantage of Hao Haixi on the bench, the two of them must fight for a main position. Don’t think that Hao Haixi will definitely play as a substitute. When the real tough battle is fought, good Haixi must be!
What's more, Li Jinyu, who temporarily plays the front midfielder, cannot be ignored. He is a forward after all...
"This national football team is very young, and many people are the first time. The second time they play for the national team, Zhao Junzhe is the second game, Li Weifeng, Yang Chen, Zheng Zhi, and Zhang Yuming are the first game..."
In the player channel, everyone led a Thai child out of the stadium, but the expression on their faces was different, nervous, excited, and exciting...
Only Zheng Zhi's face was written with calm calmness, and a smile even appeared on the corner of his mouth.
finally,
Still back to the real national team...
Chapter completed!
