Vol 5 Chapter 179: Zheng Zhihe Zhou Yi

In fact, not long after the match between Dortmund and Hoffenheim ended, Guangzhou Hengyuan started their first World Cup match with the Chinese team at the Agadir Stadium in Morocco. Small
In the face of the African champion, Asian champion Guangzhou Hengyuan won the opponent with a clean 2-0 and successfully broke into the semifinals.
When the game was over, CCTV's commentator He Ping shouted excitedly: "The Chinese team has reached the semifinals of the World Club Cup, and they made history. And in the semifinals, they will meet Dortmund, which also creates History-the'Chinese Derby' at the World Club Cup!"
What the Chinese fans and media people have been looking forward to for a long time is finally happening!
During the news interview after the game, Zheng Zhi, the captain of Guangzhou Hengyuan, was of course asked by reporters about the game.
"We are very happy to be able to reach the semifinals. Now it is too far to say how the finals are, and all I can say is that we will try our best to play well in the semifinals. Dortmund is always a strong team and we will also take Show the best and confront them..."
A reporter asked: "You only played in the summer, will this help you?"
Zheng Zhi shook his head: "I think...it shouldn't be this way. Dortmund at that time was very different from Dortmund now, whether it was a lineup or a mentality. So that game will not help us. On the contrary, if we take If I used that game as a reference, I'm afraid I will lose miserably..."
Another reporter mentioned Zhou Yi.
Since Zhou Yi played in the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi has gradually marginalized in the national team. Later, even once the national team roster could not enter. Now that the Chinese national team, led by Zhou Yi and their young people, has reached the World Cup in Brazil, Zhou Yi’s personal reputation has reached its peak, which also means that Zheng Zhi will not be so easy to return to the national team. There is a phenomenon. No one is discussing Zheng Zhi and the national team anymore. When Zhou Yi was just selected to the national team, this issue was frequently mentioned by the media and fans. But Zhou Yi quickly dispelled this idea. His performance on the national team is dominant. With such a good player, where can Zheng Zhi be?
Zheng Zhi now seems to be at ease in Guangzhou Hengyuan, concentrating on the club's games, so he has spent his professional years. However, after he helped the club team win the AFC Champions League, the situation changed again. There have been some voices in China that when the Chinese national team competes in the Brazil World Cup, they should consider re-calling Zheng Zhi. On the one hand, there is a veteran who can add stability and experience to the team. On the other hand, this way should also be used to reward the country. The team and Chinese football have served veterans for more than ten years.
There is also a saying that if the purpose of the national team is to recruit outstanding Chinese players, why not call Zheng Zhi? In the past year, the young overseas students have performed well, but Zheng Zhi is definitely the best player among the domestic players. Why can't he be selected for the national team?
If you are worried about Zheng Zhi competing with Zhou Yi after being selected as the core of the team, causing the team's hearts to float... Can Zhou Yi now be shaken by Zheng Zhi? This reason is nonsense.
Worried that Zheng Zhi, a veteran international who has joined the team, will be ganging up in the locker room to engage in hilltops? At present, the biggest mountain in the national team is the "study abroad" formed by Zhou Yi and Sun Pan. What kind of tricks can Zheng Zhi go into?
The media and fans have analyzed a lot, and they believe that recruiting Zheng Zhi to prepare for the World Cup at this time is not harmful to the national team, only good.
Zheng Zhi himself also expressed in an interview that he is still willing to win glory for the country and do his best for the Chinese national team.
But until now the national team has not heard the intention to re-call Zheng Zhi.
This will inevitably make Zheng Zhi's fans and Guangzhou Hengyuan's fans uneven for Zheng Zhiming.
Zheng Zhi and Zhou Yi have also become a subtle topic.
They are not competitors now, but Zheng Zhi did lose his position in the national team. Does Zheng Zhi himself complain about Zhou Yi? At least on the surface there has never been any news that the two were at odds. But no one knows what Zheng Zhi thinks in his heart.
"Zhou Yi?" Zheng Zhi faced this problem for a moment, then said generously: "He is a very good and excellent player, and I am happy that we can produce such a player. He is the core of Dortmund, It’s also our trouble. We will do our best to deal with him."
"The national team..." As soon as a reporter spoke, Zheng Zhi waved his hand: "Now it is the World Club Cup, not the World Cup."
He refused to answer this question.
But judging from this refusal, he really cares about the national team.
It is also the wish of this old man in football to be able to represent the Chinese team in a World Cup.
When the Chinese team played the World Cup in 2002, Zheng Zhi was 22 years old and had just made his mark in Chinese football. It is impossible for him to have his place in that national team. Although he helped the Shenzhen team to win the A-A title after the national team returned from the World Cup, and was elected as the Chinese footballer, he became the youngest footballer in the history of Chinese football.
Later he was selected to the national team, and quickly became the main force of the national team. The Asian Cup held in China in 2004 was the closest to the Intercontinental Championship. He helped the national team to reach the finals, but lost to Japan in the finals and only won the silver medal.
Later, rushing into the World Cup became his goal. It's a pity that when his personal skills are improving and maturing, when he meets the darkest and lowest valley of Chinese football, he is affected by the overall strength of the national team. He hasn't even participated in such games as the World Cup qualifiers. The World Cup is beyond reach.
What's even more impressive is that with the emergence of young overseas players such as Zhou Yi and Sun Pan, the overall strength of the Chinese team has been qualitatively improved, and they have the ability to impact the qualifications of the World Cup, but Zheng Zhi himself was excluded. Outside the gate of the national team, Zheng Zhi has no advantage compared with Zhou Yi and Yang Muge.
Before the Chinese team played in the top ten, there was also a voice asking Gao Hongbo to recall experienced veterans like Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi to the top ten of the Chinese team. At that time, Yang Muge and Sun Pan had not yet entered the national team. It is normal for everyone to have such an idea.
Later, Li Weifeng was recalled to the national team, but Zheng Zhi was simply ignored.
Now the Chinese team has once again reached the World Cup finals, celebrating the whole country, but it has nothing to do with Zheng Zhi.
But does he want to participate in the World Cup? Of course I still think.
This can be seen from his loyalty to the national team after he won the AFC Champions League.

"Zheng Zhi?" Zhou Yi turned around and glanced at Yan Min sitting next to him.
"Hmm," Yan Min nodded again and again. "I played football in Chongming, and before I entered the national team, I heard them gossip about the national team. Some people said that Zheng Zhi was competing with you in the national team for the core. This is killing the chicken to show the monkey..."
Zhou Yi heard Yan Min saying this, and there was an expression of crying and laughing on his face.
On the flight from Dortmund to Morocco, Yan Min sat next to him, and the two had a conversation without a word, and they didn't expect the topic to change to such a gossip.
"Do you think I am a person like you?" Zhou Yi pointed to himself and asked Yan Min. "Be the ball tyrant?"
"Of course I believe you are no longer. But Gao Tuan wants to establish your core prestige, it is not impossible to do so..." Yan Min said with a lip.
Zhou Yi opened his mouth like a rebuttal, but suddenly thought that when he first entered the national team, he had not achieved such brilliant achievements in Dortmund, just a new man who played several good games in Europe, and there are many domestic factions. Under football ecology, it is indeed a very real question whether one can integrate into the national team. When he first entered the national team at that time, Zhou Yi still had a faint impression of how media opinion viewed this matter...
Therefore, if Gao Hongbo is to take some high-pressure measures, it is not unimaginable.
If the motivation behind Gao Hongbo's doing this is not to say, many people will indeed regard themselves as the culprit of Zheng Zhi's failure to be selected for the national team.
It's just that he is now in the limelight. Such doubts and speculations will naturally not be on the table, and no public opinion will be formed...
Zhou Yi's thoughts made him cry and laugh even more—he didn't do anything, but he was lying down and shot into the ball.
Yan Min didn't seem to notice Zhou Yi's silence and the expression on his face, but continued to say: "...I watched it online. Since Guangzhou won the AFC Champions, many people have asked the national team to let Zheng Zhi rejoins the team. But I'm worried..."
Zhou Yi heard this sentence, he asked back: "What are you worried about?"
"Worried about the dressing room." Yan Min said. "In fact, the atmosphere in the dressing room is quite good. I am worried that Zheng Zhi will come back and there will be conflicts..."
Yan Min said a little euphemism, but Zhou Yi still heard what he meant: "Are you worried that Zheng Zhi and I will not deal with it?"
Yan Min nodded: "Almost what it means..."
Zhou Yi smiled: "I'm not that kind of person~EbookFREE.me~ I think Zheng Zhi should not be that kind of person either."
Then he patted Yan Min's arm: "Did you watch too much in the palace fighting drama? How can there be so many messy faction fights? I don't know if Zheng Zhi will enter the national team, that is not something I can decide. But I think even He really came in one day, and nothing will change. Don’t think about it so much, the World Cup is still half a year away, but the World Club Cup is in sight."
Yan Min was a little surprised: "At least there is no suspense to break into the final? Actually, I think the champion has no suspense..."
Zhou Yi glanced at him: "When you think there is no suspense, there is often suspense. Suspense is a thing that depends on your attitude towards it. Before you decide your attitude, it may or may not be, or Say the state between'yes' and'no'. Only when you make your own decision, the answer will finally be revealed, this is...'Schrodinger's suspense'."
Yan Min opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhou Yi with a solid expression. It took a long time for a sentence to come out: "What are you talking about?"
