Chapter 334 You Are the Chinese National Team

No one expected that what should have been a joyful Christmas dinner turned into a tirade by Chang Sheng alone.

But what makes Wei Shaohui feel strange is that the players of the Chinese national team are not impatient and disgusted by what Chang Sheng said.

They were silent, all listening.

He was surprised.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that Chang Sheng would say these words at this time.

"The Asian Cup is coming soon. This is not a training session, nor is it a warm-up match. I think everyone should know what this is. This is the first international competition for your national team. In fact, you should have no pressure. The media is always talking about pressure and pressure. I don’t know what pressure you can have. Chinese fans, no one thinks that you can win the championship. They don’t even expect you to reach the semi-finals. They just want you to perform well , played well on the scene, and had a tenacious fighting spirit mentally, and then... just qualify for the group stage."

Chang Sheng talked about the Asian Cup.

"Look, what a simple goal, just to get out of the group, just to play well, don't always collapse easily, that's enough. Can't you do it? You all performed very well in the warm-up match. But thousands Don't let people say that you are the king of the warm-up match, that is really not a nice title. Now I believe you can do this, because you have received the most advanced training here, and you have trained very hard. I It is no exaggeration to say that your current level has surpassed which domestic players, but unfortunately, you can only train here for less than a month. If you can receive longer training here, you level will be even higher.”

Chang Sheng did not use his training skills against the Chinese national team, not because he was selfish. But he can't use it either. The training skill can only be used on his own team, the Chinese national team is not his team, so he cannot use it.

But even so, Chang Sheng also knows that the players of the Chinese national team have improved after receiving training here.

Because when they first came, Chang Sheng used to scan to know their stats, but now, if you use to scan again, you can find that the attribute values ​​​​of many players have increased to a certain extent.

This is progress, real progress.

"Why? Because you survived our training. It was really hard, but I think you also saw what Lazio's training is like, I'm not exaggerating, five times harder than the training you have here. "

Chang Sheng stretched out a slap.

"There are many people outside,

Especially those media reporters. They like to find the secret of why Lazio can be successful, they try to find a shortcut to the trick. But alas, there are no tricks and shortcuts, see our training? That's the only way Lazio are successful, we train harder than them, we train better than them, our training method is more scientific than theirs. And you. also received the same training. So, you also have the foundation of success. "

The reason why Chang Sheng said these is because the players of the Chinese national team will always lack some confidence and play warm-up matches. Or playing against a weak team, they tend to be proud and underestimate the enemy. And when they play against strong teams or evenly matched opponents, they tend to lose confidence.

The psychology of Chinese players has been criticized. It's not an excuse, it's a fact.

Now this group of players. Chang Sheng hopes to give them some confidence.

He thought that if he said these words by himself, the credibility might be higher.

Finally, Chang Sheng raised his glass again: "That's all I want to say, boys. Remember every word I said, you have the foundation for success, but you have to work harder for it. It may be successful. If you play well in this Asian Cup, no matter what the result is, you will play well in every game and show what you have in your usual training. I think the result will not be too bad."

"I will watch every game of yours, and I will cheer for you. Because I am a Chinese, a Chinese fan, and you are the Chinese national team, I put my hopes and happiness on you. I am not the only one like this. There are hundreds of millions of people like me in China. This is pressure, but it is even more motivation, because you are not fighting alone! In any case, when you encounter difficulties and want to give up, just look down. Look at your heart, that is the national flag of our country, what it represents, I think any Chinese will be very clear, and I hope you are also clear. You are the ones who cannot give up easily! You will die in the stadium in Doha superior!"

"As a professional player, it is such a high honor to be able to represent your country in international competitions. Cherish this opportunity, so that when you retire, when you recall the 2011 Asian Cup, you don't have to worry about it. Feel guilty and regretful, and don’t need to be evasive in the face of inquiries from your children and grandchildren, you can proudly say to your children and grandchildren: I will fight for the national flag on my chest, and I will do my best, and I have no complaints or regrets!”

"Come on! For no regrets! Done!"

After finishing speaking, Chang Sheng raised his neck and gulped it down.

The players of the Chinese national team looked at each other.

At this time, Gao Hongbo also stood up, holding his wine glass as well, and said to his players: "Didn't you hear? For this Asian Cup, I have no regrets. I did it!"

After speaking, the shy man also raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.

Wei Shaohui and other members of the coaching staff also stood up and did it.

Driven by them, all the players of the Chinese national team also stood up, raised their glasses and finished.

When they drank the juice, they felt that their throats were burning, as if they were not drinking juice but shochu.

Then they feel the blood rushing upwards in their bodies.

In order not to leave regrets for my own career and the national team career in this Asian Cup, this time, I will fight!

Let's not think about what the final result is, it's a game-by-game fight! Desperate one is enough money, desperate two earn, the more you fight, the more you earn!

After the dinner, Gao Hongbo approached Chang Sheng: "Thank you, Old Chang."

"Hi, what can I thank you for?" Chang Sheng waved his hand indifferently.

"You provided us with a venue, guided our training, and contacted us with high-level warm-up opponents... Now you also help me boost my morale and mobilize before the battle... and you don't even pay for doing these... I I really don’t know what to say anymore.”

Chang Sheng smiled: "Do you still remember the first time we met, Lao Gao? In the restaurant in Formello, I decided to let you come to Lazio to work and study. You asked me why I did this, and how did I do it? answer?"

Gao Hongbo nodded: "I remember, of course I remember. That was the first time I saw you lose your temper."

Chang Sheng smiled and said with emotion: "Yeah, I lost my temper... Anyway, I am also Chinese. Although I have been in Europe, I love my motherland. I am still a football coach, so I hope the football in my country is good. Even if it's just a little bit, even if it's only temporary, I hope it will be fine. I didn't have the ability to help it before, but now I have the ability, and I should do these things as I should. Let me say something utilitarian, Lao Gao. We The national football is done well, the fans are happy, those of us who rely on football for a living... can live a nourishing life!"

Gao Hongbo was also amused by Chang Sheng's last words. "You are telling the truth. I know, although you don't expect anything in return, I still want to thank you personally."

Chang Sheng patted him on the shoulder: "Do a good job in Qatar. Don't be afraid of the host. That game is a rare training opportunity for the Chinese team. Your team will learn how to play in adversity. This is better than the Asian Cup champion." It's all important. Come on."

Gao Hongbo nodded vigorously.

"Maybe we can't make Chinese football go on a correct development path, but I think through the efforts of us people, at least we can bring some happiness to Chinese fans, and that's enough. Many tears, they should smile."

Chang Sheng squeezed Gao Hongbo's shoulder hard, and finally said this.

Gao Hongbo and his national team bid farewell to Lazio two days later, left Rome, Italy, and flew to Qatar.

They will fight for their country.

As for Chang Sheng, he started his own vacation—the whole family left Rome, returned to China, and went back to his mother's hometown. After all, the child has grown up and hasn't been back yet.

This is a trip to visit relatives in China.

The relatives in Chang Sheng's mother's hometown are very enthusiastic, especially that Chang Sheng is the most famous person from their family, the most promising back, and he even took a beautiful foreign star as his wife.

So relatives from far away came to join in the fun.

In the past few days, Avril Lavigne has really experienced a Chinese-style "Celebrating the New Year".

After staying in their hometown for ten days, the five of them returned to Rome, Italy.

Parents continue to help Chang Sheng take care of their children in Rome, while Avril Lavigne is about to start preparing for her new song.

In the past two years, she has not let go of music in her spare time, and will write some songs and play them.

However, her current music style has changed. After having children, she began to incorporate more tenderness into her original rock style.

Every time she writes a new song, she hums it to Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng thinks it sounds good.

This made Avril full of confidence, and she decided to wait until her son was one year old to start working hard for her comeback.

Although their family no longer needs to rely on her to make money to support their family.

But music is Avril Lavigne's hobby, and she will not give up.

And Chang Sheng also has to put in intense work.

He has a great idea, but it is not so easy to realize it, just like a flower that must be watered with sweat before it can bloom.
