At 22:00 on the evening of September 6, at the Chinese Men’s Football National Training Base in Shenyang, Chu Zheng dragged his suitcase out of the dormitory, came to the door of Hao Xiao’s room, opened the door, and entered.
"Be gentle! Be gentle! Don't use so much force on your hands!"
"Yo yo yo, be gentle! You are killing the pig!"
“Ouch!!!!!”
"You bastard, you are murdering me!"
"Woo!!"
As soon as he walked into Hao Xiao's dormitory, he heard Zheng Zhi roaring and screaming, and Chu Zheng was immediately amused.
"Uncle! You asked me to tell you what you are good at. You know that those Persian barbarians are in good health and you still go out to fight with them. Are you not slapping an egg against a stone?"
Hao Xiao's use of idioms was perfectly fine, but as soon as Chu Zheng heard this guy lengthen the pronunciation of the word "egg", he knew that this guy was entertaining Zheng Zhi again.
Hearing Hao Xiao's words, Zheng Zhi turned over and lay his head on the pillow and said angrily: "You think I want to, those barbarians made it clear today that they want to contain Zhengzi's offensive performance by targeting me. Zheng Zi is dragged down on the defensive end. If I can’t handle it, I will drag Zheng Zi down.”
"Besides, your brother and I are not much worse than them in health, okay? Haven't you heard that strength is relative? If I'm hurt, those barbarians won't be much better!"
"I guess I'm crying for my father and my mother now too!"
"Pfft!" Hao Xiao suppressed a laugh, "Uncle, you use this word very quickly!"
Zheng Zhi was immediately happy when he realized the reaction, and became angry from shame, saying: "Get out of here, press quickly and rub away the congestion for me!"
"Okay! Just hold it up!"
"My Hao family's ancestral massage skills will definitely make you feel comfortable today!"
"Master Hao is peeing!" Zheng Zhi was so happy that he raised his thumbs behind his back.
It's still comfortable to live with this guy. During the training camp in June, Zheng Zhi and Chu Zheng lived in the same dormitory, and they both felt a little uncomfortable.
It's not that Chu Zheng is difficult to get along with, but Chu Zheng's daily life is either training or reading, which is too boring and doesn't look like a young man at all.
Unlike Hao Xiao, who is bored every day, a few words can often amuse him and make him agreeable.
"Yo! Zhengzi is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zhi saw Chu Zheng, immediately sat up, and waved to Hao Xiao, who was working on his back to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, "You should go and pack your luggage quickly, so as not to miss your flight."
"Don't miss me, let him rub it for you again!" Chu Zheng put the luggage aside, sat on the bed in the dormitory and said with a smile.
In tonight's match with Iran, Chu Zheng can see how hard Zheng Zhi worked.
They really have to fight for the ball, and they are not afraid of the strong physical fitness of the Iranian players.
There were several times when Iran counterattacked, but Zheng Zhi risked injury and intercepted the ball without hesitation.
Without Zheng Zhi's outstanding performance, today's game probably would not have ended in a 0-0 draw.
"It's okay! This bruise will be gone in a few days!" Zheng Zhi put on a black vest, then looked at Chu Zheng with a smile, feeling a little embarrassed, "Zhengzi, I'm still dragging you down a bit today, and I didn't fully resist. Stay away from the Iranian team’s offensive pressure!”
"Uncle!" Chu Zheng shouted after Hao Xiao as soon as his mouth was bald.
Zheng Zhi's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Chu Zheng with a resentful look, as if you, the kid, couldn't learn from him.
"Uh! No! Brother! Brother Zheng!" Chu Zheng had a sneer on his face and immediately changed his words, "Brother Zheng, what you said is ridiculous, you have performed well enough, and there is nothing to drag you down, and As the higher education said, we are a team, we all prosper and suffer."
In this game with Iran, Chu Zheng felt much more tired than in the game with South Korea.
Because every player in this Asian-Persian cavalry has extremely strong physical fitness, and each player is as tall and strong as a bear.
The first half was fine, but in the second half, after the physical strength continued to be exhausted, Chu Zheng found it a bit difficult to have a physical confrontation with the Iranian players. The intensity was not much worse than the Premier League.
The skills of those Iranian players are actually very rough, and some players are even rougher than the players in the English Championship.
He just relies on his body to play, and he loses ten goals at a time. Throughout the 90 minutes of the game, he has been actively seeking physical confrontation.
Chu Zheng could see that other teammates were struggling to defend the Iranian players.
But they also have advantages that Iran does not have, which is the flexibility of Zhang Xizhe, Hao Junmin and others, which also puts pressure on Iran's defense.
After chatting with Zheng Zhi for a while, Hao Xiao packed his luggage, and then the two of them said goodbye to Zheng Zhi and left the dormitory.
There is no way, we have to hurry up, the four of them will play in the league on September 10th and 11th.
Chu Zheng's side is still a fierce battle. Manchester City's intra-city derby is extremely important to Manchester City. It affects whether the sky in Manchester City is blue or red!
After boarding the bus from the base to take them to the airport, Chu Zheng saw Jiang Lai, Wu Lei and Niu Benben sitting together, chatting and laughing.
"Brother Lei, are you going back to Guangzhou?" Chu Zheng sat down next to him and asked with a smile.
"No!" Wu Lei shook his head, his expression was hesitant to speak, and then he said, "I'll give it to you!"
Seeing Wu Lei's expression was different, Chu Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Lei, what's the matter with you?"
"Yes, we are all brothers in the trenches. If we can help, we will definitely help!" Niu Benben said, making Chu Zheng vaguely roll his eyes.
As soon as Niu Benben said these words, Chu Zheng, Jiang Lai, and Hao Xiao all looked at Wu Lei.
Wu Lei smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "Do you think if I go abroad to play football, I can establish myself there?"
Hearing this, Chu Zheng and the other four were stunned. They didn't expect that Wu Lei would actually come to ask this.
Wu Lei is definitely one of the best among all local players in China.
As a forward player, Wu Lei has good explosive power, fast speed, and excellent endurance. Especially his running without the ball and his sense of smell in front of the goal are really outstanding.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. The body is too thin and the finishing ability is average.
For example, in tonight's game, they had a chance to beat Iran at home.
But in this game, Wu Lei spit out a single ball that Chu Zheng fed with a scalpel.
People will be nervous at critical moments, and once they are nervous, the brain will lose control of the body, so mistakes will happen. This is actually normal.
But it is not normal for this phenomenon to appear on a forward. At the same time, it can also reflect the player's psychological quality and is a manifestation of lack of confidence.
The forward's shooting is through extensive training accumulated over a long period of time to turn various shooting movements into muscle memory.
At this point, Chu Zheng could tell that Wu Lei did not seem to have strengthened training on single-handed ball.
In fact, Chu Zheng felt that Wu Lei was similar to Jiang Lai in some aspects.
Both have thin bodies and are top-notch in running without the ball.
However, professional football is not just about running without the ball, it requires a comprehensive ability.
Bayern's Muller is also a serious partial subject, and his physical fitness is definitely at the bottom of European football.
But why is Erwa such a hot star in football? An indispensable main player for Bayern?
Because he is good enough?
Obviously not, because Erwa has a very high football intelligence, which is reflected in his running without the ball. This talent is even so high that it is rare in the history of football.
When Messi is without the ball, Neymar wants to let his teammates pass the ball to him, and then rely on their superb personal skills to get past all the defensive players on the opposite side. After reaching the penalty area, he can choose to shoot or pass the ball to assist.
.
What Ronaldo and Lewandowski are thinking is that I have to wait near the penalty area and shoot directly when the ball comes. Otherwise, the fun will be over if I stay outside and get dumped.
And what is Muller thinking without the ball?
He will start by observing his teammates, and then use the positions of both sides to calculate which position he should run in order to create the greatest value for the team.
As long as it's within the confines of the stadium, there's no location he can't think of that he can't reach.
Chu Zheng had personal experience with this when he was at Wolfsburg. Sometimes Chu Zheng couldn't guess what these idiots were thinking and it was extremely difficult to mark them.
In addition, Erwa also has many excellent abilities, such as goal kick sense, finishing ability, assist ability, etc. These strengths make up for this shortcoming of his.
Jiang Lai's current playing style is actually quite similar to Muller's. His body is not enough and his brain makes up for it.
Compared with Jiang Lai, Wu Lei lacks Jiang Lai's sharp breakthrough ability and finishing ability.
Wu Lei is not as good as Jiang Lai in terms of vision and dribbling.
Perhaps because of the difference in the environment and the youth training system the two sides have received, Jiang Lai was able to spot some opportunities immediately, but Wu Lei did not react at all.
Especially the finishing ability.
The first responsibility of a forward is to score goals, so this shortcoming is fatal to the forward.
This shortcoming is not a big problem in the domestic league, but if he goes to Europe to face those European-level defenses, Wu Lei estimates that it will be difficult to win from the competition.
If Chu Zheng really wants to rate Wu Lei's current comprehensive ability, Chu Zheng thinks Wu Lei can reach the passing line, but there is a high probability that he will not be able to play as the main force.
Of course, Wu Lei is only 25 years old now. He still has a long career and a lot of room for growth.
No one knows what the future will bring.
Although Chu Zheng analyzed it clearly, he didn't know what to say.
To be honest, it's a bit hurtful.
To put it mildly, if the wrong message was conveyed, then Chu Zheng would have committed a great sin.
Chu Zheng organized his words and decided to tell the truth, just in a tactful way.
On the way to the airport, Chu and Zheng were all analyzing the characteristics of the European League and what kind of forwards could survive in European football for Wu Lei.
What the four people said were their own personal experiences, and it was up to Wu Lei himself as to how to make the decision.
In the early morning of the next day, the four Chu and Zheng took their own flights and returned to their respective clubs, leaving quietly.
However, domestic public opinion has become explosive.
In the two rounds of the top 12, the Chinese team won one and drew one, accumulating 4 points and ranking third in the Group A standings.
The second is Iran, also with 4 points, but their goal difference is 2 and the Chinese team is 1.
The first place is Uzbekistan, with 6 points.
The most surprising thing is that South Korea was tied 0-0 by Syria in the second round away game, so they could only be ranked fourth.
The points situation after two rounds can be said to be far beyond the expectations of Chinese fans. Some even called it a miracle.
Just like the Chinese New Year, the Internet is full of slogans about "entering the 2018 World Cup in Russia."
But there are also some fans who hold a pessimistic view as always. God knows whether it will be a magical two-wheeler or a ghost eight-wheeler!
