Chapter 332 Benefited a Lot (57/134)

When Lazio left for the United Arab Emirates, all the members of the Chinese national team who were training at the Formello training base also set off for Madrid. They will train at the Getafe training base and then play a game against the Spanish national team in Madrid There is a warm-up match.

This was naturally arranged by Chang Sheng for them.

With the relationship between Lazio Club and Getafe Club, it is really easy for Getafe Club to provide training venues and accommodation.

Moreover, if the Chinese team passes by, Getafe can be half-busy to play the teaching game.

This point was clearly explained to Gao Hongbo before Chang Sheng left Rome.

He also specifically asked Gao Hongbo to talk to Benitez if he had nothing to do. Getafe's head coach Benitez is a tactical idiot, and he is fascinated by the study of tactics. Chang Sheng discussed it with him Tactical, and self-perceived benefits.

Of course, Benitez didn't know, he thought he had benefited a lot...

So Chang Sheng recommended Benitez to Gao Hongbo, let them talk more, maybe they will provide a lot of help to the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.

And this time Gao Hongbo really gained a lot.

He was shocked to find that the head coach of Getafe, a relegation team in La Liga, had such outstanding insight and ability. How many good people do you know!

Although he had studied and worked in Lazio for a period of time, his contact with Chang Sheng began to deepen after he left Lazio.

So he still doesn't know much about Chang Sheng.

This time he came to the Formello training base for training, and he gradually learned many things about Changsheng that he didn't know before.

For example, he can finish the warm-up plan of the Chinese team by making two phone calls, and let the strong teams such as the World Cup champion Spain and Germany come to the Chinese team as sparring partners...

This completely refreshed his previous understanding of Chang Sheng.

After the match against Germany, the Chinese national team returned to Formello, and Chang Sheng also met Gao Hongbo again.

When the two got together, Gao Hongbo first congratulated Chang Sheng for winning the six championships. And Chang Sheng asked Gao Hongbo what he had gained from this trip.

"It's a great harvest!" Gao Hongbo looked very excited. "I played against a really strong team in the world. Although I lost, I and the players learned something, especially the game against Spain. They deserve to be a strong team that can win the European Cup and the World Cup in a row."

Chang Sheng watched the broadcast of these two warm-up matches on TV.

Spain defeated the Chinese team 5:1 at the Bernabeu.

Although the Chinese team scored five goals, it is also remarkable that the Chinese team can still score one goal when facing a team like Spain.

So the failure of this game did not hurt the morale of the players at all, but it also enhanced the confidence of the players-we scored Casillas' goal!

Only media such as "Sports Weekly" shouted that the warm-up match arranged by the Chinese team was almost amateurish. Playing against the world's top teams before the Asian Cup has no meaning except to undermine confidence. Spain, Germany, and the Chinese team's warm-up match opponents seem to be shining stars, but at this time they seem very unwise. The Chinese team should find Asian teams to warm up. Instead of running to Europe to be abused.

Gao Hongbo ignored such voices.

In the game against the German team, the Chinese national team also performed quite tenaciously. Although they lost the game 1:3 in the end, they still scored goals, which is very remarkable.

Facing strong teams like Spain and Germany, they were able to score consecutive goals.

That is truly remarkable.

The players of the Chinese national team can come back with their heads held high.

In fact they do the same. Losing two warm-up matches in a row did not affect the mood of the Chinese team players. They looked very excited after they came back.

This time they came to Europe for training, which opened their eyes. They not only received the top training in Europe in Formello, but also warmed up with teams like Spain and Germany. Lazio, the top team in European football, practiced with them and even played coaching with them. Contest……

this treatment. They feel that the Brazilian team is nothing more than that. Probably not as good.

Training at the best place in Europe gives them a lot of confidence. I have my own vision for the upcoming Asian Cup.

According to the plan of the Chinese team, they will end their training camp on the 27th, leave Lazio, and go to Qatar.

But before that, they had to meet Chang Sheng.

After the day's training, Gao Hongbo informed the whole team: "Take a bath quickly, change clothes, and go to the banquet!"

"Banquet?" Everyone was surprised. They hadn't heard of any special arrangements for the national team.

Gao Hongbo explained to them: "It's coach Chang's personal treat, and he invited us to spend Christmas. In addition, it's also a trip for us to play in Qatar for the Asian Cup."

Everyone suddenly realized, but they were also surprised by Chang Sheng's generosity.

It stands to reason that this kind of dinner is the responsibility of the Football Association, but Christmas is not a legal holiday in China, so there will be no celebrations. If everyone feels like celebrating a holiday, then contact them in private to have fun.

Of course, at this time, it is impossible to let them run out of the training base.

Their main task here is to learn and train, not to travel.

It has been almost a month since they came to Italy, and they only went to the urban area three times.

They were quite surprised that Chang Sheng was willing to pay for their meals out of his own pocket.

These days, in Lazio, they can often get in touch with Chang Sheng, and they have a new understanding of the legendary coach Chang Sheng.

His requirements during training are really strict...

Some people think that their abilities in the national team are outstanding. Before coming to Formello, they still fantasized about their outstanding performance, and then they were valued by Changsheng, and finally joined Lazio.

As a result, after watching other people's training, he retreated.

Not to mention anything else, just the intensity of the training, they felt that they couldn't bear it.

Moreover, Changsheng requires players to pay absolute attention to energy during training and not to be distracted. On the one hand, because this is a disciplinary requirement, on the other hand. Lazio's training intensity is very high, and it is easy to get tired. If you lose your mind during training, you may cause yourself or your teammates to be injured. If you are injured yourself, that's fine, if you cause injuries to your teammates, then you will be too sorry for your teammates...

It seems that money and honor are not easy to earn in Lazio...

As their understanding of Chang Sheng deepened, they also admired their compatriot more and more.

A Chinese, fighting alone in European football. It is really not easy to achieve the current status, and it is inseparable from his usual efforts.

Unknowingly, Chang Sheng's status in the minds of these players is already very high, even...higher than that of his head coach Gao Hongbo.

Of course. They didn't feel that this was disrespectful to Director Gao Hongbo. Anyway, Director Gao also worked under Chang Sheng and helped Chang Sheng. It's normal for Director Gao to be inferior to Chang Sheng...

As soon as they heard that it was Chang Sheng's treat, everyone quickly took a shower and changed their clothes. They didn't bring any clothes, except for the national team suits for formal occasions. Mainly the national team sportswear provided by the sponsors.

A group of Chinese national team players, all wearing red and black national team sportswear, participated in the Christmas dinner that Chang Sheng hosted for them.

The bus from the Lazio club took them to a magnificent restaurant in downtown Rome, only to see the decoration design of this restaurant. Just know that this is a high-end restaurant, and a meal here must cost a lot.

Many people clicked their tongues, saying that Chang Sheng was rich. It looks real...

This is different from the usual buffet for the national team dinners, where everyone sits around a big round table. The waiters then serve the dishes in order.

It was a more formal banquet.

There are 30 players on the national team training list alone, plus coaches, team leaders, and staff, there are about 40 people.

A table for ten people is exactly four tables.

Chang Sheng brought his family to attend, and everyone also saw Avril Lavigne up close.

She doesn't look old after having a baby.

She is said to be planning a comeback.

The players of the Chinese national team are all stars in China, and they have to wear sunglasses when they go out on the street, for fear of being recognized by fans.

As a result, here, they behaved more like groupies who have never seen the world...

※ ※ ※

Before the dinner, there was no leader to speak.

Because it was a private banquet for the national team, it was natural that Wei Shaohui, the leader of the national team and an official from the Football Association, would not be able to speak.

People in the Football Association still understand such a little rule.

On other people's territory, it's not his turn to stand out.

This time he came to eat.

Everyone seemed to be looking at Chang Sheng.

There is no leader to speak, so the host has to say a few words, right?

Sure enough, after Chang Sheng and Gao Hongbo whispered a few words, they pulled away their chairs and stood up.

Then a waiter handed a wireless microphone.

He did have something to say.

Chang Sheng did have something to say, he invited everyone to this meal, not just for them to celebrate the festival.

He has a stomach full of things to say to them, as a Chinese fan in his previous life, he said to them.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary Chinese fan. He was not qualified and had no chance to speak in front of these international players.

But now, with a different identity, he can finally have such an opportunity.

He wants to tell the players of these national teams what he has said in his two lives.

Because he is not sure if anyone has said such things to them before, if so, then let him talk about it once, if not, then let himself be the first person, let him remind these players.

And he felt that if he was just a fan in his previous life, even if he had the opportunity to say this, no one would listen to him.

But now, he is telling them these words as the most successful football head coach in Chinese history, and he believes that some of them can still be listened to...
