Vol 2 Chapter 51: sensation

"Gao Hongbo? Did you make a mistake?" Zhou Tiancheng repeated again and again, and didn't respond.
There was a smile on the phone: "If you are Zhou Tiancheng, this call is correct. It seems that you really have nothing to do with domestic football, then let me introduce myself. I am the head coach of the Chinese team."
Zhou Tiancheng did not expect that the person on the other end of the phone was this identity. At this moment, he was very shocked, because he had already vaguely guessed the purpose of the phone. He didn't speak while holding his phone, adjusting his emotions.
"Hey, Zhou Tiancheng, are you listening?"
"Oh, here you are." Zhou Tiancheng recovered.
Gao Hongbo on the phone said: "We also know your performance in Schalke this half of the season. In a few days, the national team has a training session. The coaching staff decided to let you enter the national team. Today I am asking you in advance. Opinion. Would you like to play on behalf of the national team?"
"I have no opinion, but I can't meet the national team immediately. I have just finished my vacation and returned to Germany." Zhou Tiancheng had long thought that this moment would come sooner or later, he had already made up his mind
"Well, this is not in a hurry. The training list has not yet been published. I am just asking for your opinion in my own name. You have time to prepare. I am looking forward to your joining."
Chu Yunling dragged the suitcase from behind and came up to Zhou Tiancheng: "Acheng, come and help!"
Zhou Tiancheng hurriedly took the suitcase, Chu Yunling snorted softly and asked with dissatisfaction: "Who called you just now, so serious that I didn't even notice me."
"National team coach." Zhou Tiancheng's tone returned to a very flat state.
"National team?" Chu Yunling froze: "Chinese team?"
Zhou Tiancheng nodded: "Of course, I did not join the German nationality."
"You agree?"
Zhou Tiancheng then nodded.
"Don't talk to your uncle?"
"My dad is an old fan, and he watched the national team in the World Cup in 2002. I know his mind, he will not object."
"Then... okay, just come on, I believe you."
at the same time.
After receiving an affirmative response from Zhou Tiancheng, the Chinese Football Association soon announced the training list for the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup qualifiers.
The single name was released, and the reactions of the various media were not unexpected. First, it was a moment of ignorance, and it quickly reacted. The major media platforms fry at the same time.
CCTV: The biggest surprise! Zhou Tiancheng was selected into the latest training list of the national team.
Sina: Finally waiting for you! With Zhou Tiancheng, the stubborn illness of the national team is expected to be resolved.
Netease: Ace fresh blood! The "Gao Jiajun" first-round roster is called into the Bundesliga's strongest star this season!
Party with similar headings emerged on various websites, Zhou Tiancheng's selection to the Chinese team list immediately became the most popular headline in the sports sector.
In fact, on the topic of Zhou Tiancheng joining the national team, the Chinese media has been discussing for several months. In terms of ability, Zhou Tiancheng is absolutely qualified to play the main force. But once there is a drag on the national team, they are very worried that Zhou Tiancheng's status and position in the club will be affected. There is a common problem in China's three major ball collective projects: they like to hold the thighs of foreign players. As far as football is concerned, there are already lessons to be learned. So some media are concerned. They also hope that Zhou Tiancheng can strive to reach the peak at the club level, imitating ac Milan legend George Via. Anyway, the situation of the national team, the improvement that a player can bring is really limited.
After the tragic defeat of the South Africa World Cup qualifiers, especially the home defeat of the Olympic Games last year, even many media were cold. The national team is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of confidence.
Gao Hongbo, who was in charge of the national team for the first time, also expressed his attitude on behalf of the national team coaching team in an interview with CCTV Sports News: "The coaching team agreed that the current national team needs fresh blood to prepare for the impact of the Brazil World Cup. An age like Zhou Tiancheng The players who play the main midfield in the Bundesliga will naturally not turn a blind eye. Zhou Tiancheng's joining will be an unimaginable reinforcement for the national team's midfield strength."
"That is to say, the coaching staff will give Zhou Tiancheng a very important role, will he be a midfield leader?" A reporter tried to get to the bottom.
"This question is the team's tactical secret, sorry, no comment. Zhou Tiancheng's ability is certainly no problem, but it depends on how well he and the team fit in."
Gao Hongbo's remarks were very honest, and there was no problem in truth. But the media reported that the comments of the majority of fans followed this sentence in another direction.
"Just at this point I will fight against Gao Hongbo and dare to tell the truth. Zhou Tiancheng is really strong, but these teammates are probably enough for him to be anxious. If he plays at the rhythm of Schalke 04, he is destined to only sing unicorn. No one Can keep up with his rhythm."
"I think so. Hey, this kid is still too young and confused! The big pit of the national football can't be filled by him alone, but will fall into the pit~EbookFREE.me~Unless the forward and the winger There are several people in the position who can match his ability."
Of course, whenever there is a pessimist, there will be an optimist, and a netizen in the vest "big z" posted a long message: "After reading a circle of comments, you don't need to be so pessimistic. I don't know if anyone It is found that Zhou Tiancheng is actually very different from other Chinese players. Not only refers to the performance on the field, his rise in the Schalke position is surprisingly fast. After watching the 20-year ball, it is rare to see anyone in the rookie season. The top five teams in the league are firmly seated as the main force. This is more than just playing skills. Besides, on the field, don’t see Schalke is a half-time champion in the standings, but it is no exaggeration to say that it is all Zhou Tiancheng’s credit. There are all kinds of long-range headers. Individuals alone, Zhou Tiancheng is not afraid at the level of the Bundesliga. When he comes back to face the strength of Asia, it should be a crush without suspense!"
...
Gelsenkirchen, 1 am.
Zhou Tiancheng is in deep sleep, but the phone call music on the bedside is ringing at this time.
Zhou Tiancheng opened his eyes confusedly, only to realize that he had forgotten to shut down before going to bed, but he really wanted to scold people: which one lacks virtue is calling at this time!
But now that he has woken up, Zhou Tiancheng can only pick it up slowly and listen.
Opposite a young female voice said: "Zhou Tiancheng? I want to interview, how do you think you were recruited by the national team?"
Zhou Tiancheng scolded the past directly: "You are mad! You don't sleep at midnight for interviews!"
"Slap", Zhou Tiancheng cut off the call directly and shut down.
Xu Jing, a reporter from the "Football News" who was far away in Beijing, heard the beep of the phone and immediately reacted. He really thought that the big news was dizzy. Although it is only 8pm in Beijing time, he has forgotten the jet lag!
