Xianghe Training Base is located in Xianghe County, Hebei Province, covering an area of approximately 2,000 acres. It is a comprehensive football training and competition base.
At around 3 p.m., a black SUV parked at the entrance of the base.
After Chu Zheng and the others got off the bus, they saw Gao Hongbo, Fu Bo and Ou Chuliang, two assistant coaches, already waiting at the entrance.
"Hello, Gao Jiao, Fu Zhu, District Zhu!" Chu Zheng dragged his luggage with one hand and immediately called Niu Benben and the others to come forward and say hello.
"It's good if you come! It's good if you come!" Gao Hongbo shook hands with Chu Zheng and the four of them one by one. His eyes were small, so this smile was even less visible, but it could be seen that he was sincerely grateful for the arrival of Chu Zheng and the four of them. Feeling relaxed and happy.
At the same time, on a high building in the base, seven or eight young people were standing on the roof looking at Chu Zheng, Gao Hongbo and others at the entrance.
"It shouldn't be. It's impossible for a star like Chu Zheng to make such a mistake. Not a single reporter was notified, and Guo Bingyan's cold-faced king wasn't even there!" Yan Junling looked puzzled, "What's wrong? It’s as if the higher-ups have any objections to the four of them.”
"That thing is probably true!" Wang Dalei next to him suddenly laughed, seeming to be a little gloating about his misfortune.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Linpeng, Hao Junmin and others next to him immediately looked at him.
Seeing everyone's gazes on him, Wang Dalei looked surprised and said, "No, you really haven't heard anything about it?"
"I heard, I heard, Lao Gao has always wanted Chu Zheng and the four people to come back, but the higher-ups kept delaying them for some unknown reason, so Lao Gao gave the higher-ups a trick: kill first and then show off. As a result, some people above him were very angry. Not happy." Wang Dalei looked gossipy.
"Lao Gao went to the UK some time ago, and not long after, Chu Zheng and the others publicly announced on Weibo at the same time that they had received Lao Gao's call-up, and he would join the team after returning to China after the season. This is such a coincidence. I can't say no. I don’t even believe it’s fishy!”
"So that's it!"
"These four little guys are so brave!" Wu Xi exclaimed in amazement.
Hearing Wu Xi's words, Gao Lin, the oldest next to him, smiled, shook his head and said, "They are so confident. Their roots are in Europe, so they are not afraid of those people above."
"That's right!" Wu Xi nodded, "I really can't control it. They are not within your jurisdiction at all!"
"In China, if we just talk about Chu Zheng's nearly 100 million fans, those above would have to consider the consequences if they want to punish him."
"I think except for Chu Zheng, the other three are about the same strength. Lao Gao said, whoever is in good condition should be used, I'm afraid they won't succeed!"
After hearing this, no one else answered, and everyone was doing their homework.
Needless to say, Chu Zheng must have a position in the midfield. This guy's status and strength are too transcendent.
As for the goalkeeper, defender and striker positions, it’s hard to say.
Although Hao Xiao's Bologna is only a Serie A relegation team, this guy has always occupied the position of the main goalkeeper, and his goalkeeping statistics are very good.
Although Bologna keeps losing, they actually lose many games with a score of 1-0.
Without Hao Xiao's outstanding performance, it's hard to say whether Bologna could have successfully avoided relegation.
And Niu Benben, a young man, performed quite well in the Bundesliga 2.
This young man is also considered half of the main center back at Red Bull Leipzig, and his defensive ability has been recognized by the media and teammates.
Red Bull Leipzig successfully promoted to the Bundesliga this season, and this guy has a share of the credit.
As for Jiang Lai, this guy has scored 9 goals and 5 assists as a substitute in Ajax this season, so he is not a bad guy.
Therefore, the arrival of the four Chu Zheng players has brought great competitive pressure to many players in the national team.
In fact, the law of the jungle applies to any industry in this world. The strong survive and the weak can only be eliminated. This is especially true for professional football.
If it works, it works, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t work!
Fu Bo soon arranged a dormitory for Chu Zheng and the four of them. Perhaps out of consideration for getting to know their teammates as quickly as possible, the four of them did not live together.
Chu Zheng was assigned to Room 301, the same dormitory as Zheng Zhi. Gao Hongbo's intention was very obvious, he wanted Chu Zheng and Zheng Zhi to get familiar with each other as soon as possible.
But Zheng Zhi was not in the dormitory. He said he had something urgent to do at noon and asked for leave to go back to BJ. He would not be back until evening.
After a while, Chu Zheng packed up his personal belongings and was about to call Zhao Dudu when there was a knock on the door.
It's Hao Xiao and the other three.
After closing the door, Niu Benben went to Chu Zheng's bed and said with a meaningful smile: "Blind Man, did you feel that there was something wrong with the expressions of Lao Gao and the other three just now?"
Chu Zheng understood instantly, but Hao Xiao and Jiang Lai didn't understand.
In fact, Chu Zheng was keenly aware of something when he got out of the car and saw Gao Hongbo and the others coming to pick them up.
Because it is the job scope of the national team leader Guo Bingyan to pick up people.
The team leader was an official from the General Administration and was assigned to take charge of administrative work, but this guy didn't show up. It was obvious that someone was giving eye drops to the four of them.
Thinking of this, Chu Zheng laughed, glanced at Niu Benben and the others, and said: "Don't worry about so much, I still say the same thing, we are here for training and competition, do our job well, and then leave, we will not participate in other matters , and it has nothing to do with us.”
Niu Benben raised his hands, put them behind his head, nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it has nothing to do with us if the sky collapses, there are tall people who are holding it up!"
"Can you two say something I can understand?" Hao Xiao was unhappy.
Chu Zheng was about to explain when there was a knock on the door.
Chu Zheng stood up and opened the door, only to see the smiling assistant coach Ou Chuliang.
"Have you packed your luggage? The higher education department wants you to go to his office!" Ou Chuliang said standing at the door before entering.
"Okay, I'll go over right now!"
After a while, Chu Zheng appeared in another building, knocked on the door and walked into Gao Hongbo's office.
"I'm sorry, Chu Zheng, for causing trouble to you!" As soon as he saw Chu Zheng, Gao Hongbo stood up and came towards him, with a deep apology on his face.
"I don't quite understand what you said. It's a great honor for the four of us that Marshal Gao can come to pick us up in person!" Chu Zheng certainly knew what Gao Hongbo was referring to.
"Haha!" Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Gao Hongbo laughed loudly, raised his hand and nodded Chu Zheng, who was pretending to be stupid with a smile on his face, and then shook his head, "Don't worry, they can only play tricks on these children. No matter how extreme the trick is, they can’t and won’t dare!”
After chatting for a few minutes, Gao Hongbo handed a document on the table to Chu Zheng and said with a smile: "Look, I need your opinion as a champion midfielder!"
Chu Zheng looked a little stunned, so he could only nod and smile, then took it and looked through it.
It was Gao Hongbo's strategy.
Seeing Chu Zheng's brows wrinkle and then relax, Gao Hongbo smiled.
The reason why he needed to seek Chu Zheng's opinion was to formulate a new strategy with Chu Zheng as the core.
He no longer needs to doubt Chu Zheng's ability.
During his time in the UK, Gao Hongbo watched several Leicester City games live and had a profound understanding of Chu Zheng.
As a midfielder, Chu Zheng's vision on the court shocked Gao Hongbo, who was also a player.
In the words of foreign media, Chu Zheng has a God's perspective and can overlook everything and find all the defensive loopholes of his opponent.
He also has the ability to skillfully control the rhythm of the game and his dominance in the midfield, which he can clearly see.
This is the reason why he fights with his superiors regardless of the consequences. It can also be said that Chu Zheng gave him the confidence to fight against the odds.
The football world is very realistic, and results speak for themselves.
As long as his cooperation with Chu Zheng can achieve good results, some people will have to shut up no matter how dissatisfied they are.
More than ten minutes later, after reading the tactical document in his hand, Chu Zheng raised his head, nodded and said: "Higher Education, I have no problem."
"Okay!" Even though he had known about Chu Zheng's ability, he still felt uneasy without Chu Zheng's confirmation.
