Chapter 197 You have to hold on tight
After some exchanges with Zheng Zhi, the relationship between the two Northeast fellows became much closer.

There is probably no pairing on the pitch that requires more chemistry than between a goalkeeper and a centre-back.

That night, when the national football team had a dinner together, Tang Wu introduced himself at the dinner table.

Tang Wu's arrival did not cause dissatisfaction among the other international players. After all, Tang Wu's position is special. Except for goalkeeper Liu Yunfei and Li Jian, everyone nodded to Tang Wu, which was considered to have received this new player.

As a member of Jianlibao who studied abroad in Brazil, Li Jian was the No. 2 goalkeeper whether it was the Toulon Cup, the Universiade, or the National Olympics.

And this year in the Chinese Super League, Li Jian didn't even have an appearance record.

Such a person has long adapted to the bench career.

But Liu Yunfei is different.

With a cool appearance, he is actually a "gentleman"!
With a height of 1.8 meters three, he can jump up to 80 cm in place and has outstanding explosive power.With all this, Liu Yunfei has almost secured the main force of the national football goalkeeper in the past two years.

In 01, although Jiang Jin, the No. [-] goalkeeper of the national football team, also played for TEDA.However, the fledgling Liu Yunfei pushed the national team to the bench with his good physical fitness.

In addition, Liu Yunfei worked very hard in training, and often competed with Yu Genwei, Gao Feng and other big-name players for penalty kicks.After winning the best goalkeeper of the season, he was successfully selected into the national football team. This is also the highest reward for Liu Yunfei's unremitting efforts.

Right now, Tang Wu came to the team again.

Whether it is height, jumping, explosiveness, or defensive range, Tang Wu can almost be said to be an enhanced version of Liu Yunfei.Coupled with Tang Wu's achievements in the Premier League this year, the TEDA goalkeeper deeply felt the "sense of crisis".

Liu Yunfei knows that if he doesn't seize the opportunity in this Asian Cup, he will basically bid farewell to his career as the main goalkeeper of the national football team.

There is no way, Tang Wu is really too young, so young that he is 5 years younger than Liu Yunfei.

After drinking and eating, the team leader suddenly announced loudly: As long as they can win the championship at home this time, everyone will receive a bonus of 50 yuan!
50?What a great deal!
*** Nostrils snorted lightly.

This is the highest bonus ever awarded by the National Football Team.

It can be seen that the Football Association wants to win this honor at home. After the National Olympics and the China Youth League "success", there is no reason for the National Football Association to "drop the chain".

Although *** and others scoffed when they heard the bonus, Tang Wu could see that these players were not disdainful because of the amount of bonus.

"As long as I can win the championship, I will do it without paying any money!" Li Ming raised his wine glass, "Come on, let's drink this cup, let's start tomorrow and train hard!"

"Dry!"

The domestic Chinese Super League is still going on, and the players have just finished playing the World Cup preliminaries.But for the Asian Cup, everyone gritted their teeth and insisted on a lot of physical training on the training ground.

Tang Wu followed at the end with a relaxed expression on his face.Whether it was long-distance running, back-and-forth running, or sprint running, after a few rounds, Tang Wu was only panting slightly, as if he had just entered the state.

"Tang Wu, did you practice like this in the Premier League?" Zheng Zhi came over and asked during the break.

"No!" Tang Wu shook his head and said, "Chelsea is much more tired than this!"

"Fuck! It really is a change!" Zheng Zhi spat, "You require such a high level of physical strength as a goalkeeper? Then don't players in other positions have to die of exhaustion?"

"Who said goalkeepers are light? Our goalkeepers are also very tired, okay?" Tang Wu rolled his eyes, pulled Sun Taiyang from the side and said, "Let Brother Sun tell you how tired the Premier League goalkeeper is!"

Under Zheng Zhi's curious eyes, Sun Taiyang smiled and said, "Xiao Zheng, don't tell me, the goalkeeper is really tired from training!"

"Why?" Zheng Zhi was still a little puzzled.

"For example, let's take shooting as an example. Five or six people practice shooting in turn, but there is only one goalkeeper, right? Five of you kicked a round, and the goalkeeper fell to the ground and made five saves. Get up like this, ordinary people It’s unbearable to go back and forth two or three times. But what about the goalkeeper? If you don’t pounce dozens of times at a time, the shooter hasn’t practiced well at all! Don’t you think so?”

"Oh, it makes sense!" Zheng Zhi nodded.

Seeing that Tang Wu, who is the youngest on the team and who needs the least physical strength, is much stronger than himself, the other team members also worked hard and continued to grit their teeth and persevere.

On July 7, the national football team beat Lebanon 3-6 in Chongqing.

Tang Wu was almost walking in the backcourt, or picking up the ball, and the opponent hardly attacked his own half.

After a game, Tang Wu only took three goal kicks. Neither the spy sent by the opponent nor the Alihan on the sidelines collected any "battle report" from Tang Wu.

After playing against Lebanon, the national football team took a flight to the capital and went to the Xianghe base for training.

Before entering the gate, many fans outside the base gathered at the gate holding "Tang Wu" banners and Tang Wu's head portrait.After seeing the national football bus, they shouted in unison: "Tang Wu, we must win the Asian Cup! We must win!"

In the bus, the faces of other national football leaders were a bit ugly. I didn't expect the fans to be so "disgraceful".

Tang Wu spread his hands, and said to Zheng Zhi with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "I want to win too, but as a goalkeeper, I can only do so much."

In the early morning of the third day after arriving in the capital, Tang Wu was awakened by a phone call.

Only Sun Taiyang and Tang Wu on the team have a small mobile phone, which was issued by the Football Association.After plugging in the phone card, you can only receive calls, but not make calls.

"Tom, I have some bad news for you." Raiola's voice came from the phone.

"Bad news?" Tang Wu, who was awakened from his sleep, was a little annoyed, "Has Abu decided to sell me?"

"No, not this." Raiola said, "In the European Cup final that just ended, Greece beat Portugal 1-0."

"So what? Didn't you win once in the group stage?"

The European Cup these days is the most discussed matter among the team.

After all the favorites to win the championship were eliminated, Greece, which had not won a victory in any international competition before, actually reached the final.

What everyone didn't expect was that this super dark horse turned out to be a black horse and once again defeated the host Portugal in the final.

The success of the Greek team is reminiscent of the Danish fairy tale in 92.It's just that this time the Greeks really staged a myth by virtue of "ugly utilitarian football".

Tang Wu was a little dizzy. He couldn't understand what the Greek team's championship had to do with him.Is it possible that Abramovich or Mourinho has taken a fancy to the Greek goalkeeper and wants to dig him to Chelsea?

Just as Tang Wu was guessing, Raiola announced the answer.

"TOM, that's not the point. The point is that UEFA announced the group and individual awards for this cup after the game."

"SO? So what? They mentioned my name?" Tang Wu joked.

But Raiola did not laugh because of this, but replied seriously: "If there is a Czech goalkeeper named Petr Cech selected for the best team, do you think it has something to do with you?"

Hearing the words Peter Cech, Tang Wu suddenly lost all sleepiness, and his brain started to work rapidly.

"Why, the Netherlands, Portugal and Greece don't have good goalkeepers?" Tang Wu's tone was clearly dissatisfied.

The Czech Republic reached the semi-finals of this European Cup, but was eliminated by Greece in the semi-finals.It is not surprising that the Czech team with the World Footballer (Nedved) and the top scorer (Baros 5 goals) can reach the semi-finals.But UEFA actually selected Cech as the best team, Tang Wu was really jealous.

I was looking forward to buying a parallel importer with 900W, but judging from the current situation, there is really a strong opponent!

For the salaries of the two alone, Abramovich probably would not be willing to let Tang Wu start.

Thinking of this, Tang Wu said anxiously, "What about Chelsea?"

"I didn't say anything." Raiola said calmly, "Their contract was signed as early as the winter. It can only be said that Chelsea's scouts didn't miss it. Now he has won the best team, and the rest It depends on you. If you and your Chinese team do not perform well, I advise you to choose your next team as soon as possible.”

"Okay, I see." Tang Wu glanced at the pale sky, and hung up the phone.
