Gao Hongbo? Did you make a typo? Zhou Tiancheng repeated, but didn't realize it all at once.

The other end of the phone smiled: If you are Zhou Tiancheng, the call is correct. It seems that you really have nothing to do with domestic football, so let me introduce myself. I am the head coach of the Chinese team.

Zhou Tiancheng never expected the identity of the person on the other end of the phone. At this moment, his heart was shocked because he had already vaguely guessed the purpose of the call. Holding the phone without speaking, he adjusted his emotions.

Hello, Zhou Tiancheng, are you listening?

Oh, I'm here, tell me. Zhou Tiancheng finally came to his senses.

Gao Hongbo on the other end of the phone said: We also know about your performance at Schalke in the past half season. The national team will have a training session in a few days, and the coaching staff decided to let you join the national team. Today I will ask you in advance. Opinion. Would you like to represent the national team?

I have no objection, but I can't join the national team right away. I just returned to Germany after my vacation. Zhou Tiancheng had already thought that this moment would come sooner or later, and he had already made up his mind

Well, don't worry about it. The training list hasn't been released yet. I'm just asking for your opinion in my own name. You have time to prepare. I'm looking forward to your joining.

At this time, Chu Yunling came up from behind dragging the suitcase, and called out to Zhou Tiancheng, Ah Cheng, come and help me!

Zhou Tiancheng hurriedly took the suitcase, Chu Yunling snorted softly, and asked pretending to be dissatisfied: Who called you just now? They were so serious that they didn't even notice me.

The head coach of the national team. Zhou Tiancheng's tone returned to a very flat state.

The national team? Chu Yunling was taken aback: The Chinese team?

Zhou Tiancheng nodded: Of course, I didn't become a German citizen.

You agree?

Zhou Tiancheng then nodded.

Aren't you going to discuss it with your uncle?

My dad is an old fan, and he watched the national team enter the World Cup in 2002. I know his thoughts, and he will not object.

Then... okay, you just have to work hard, I believe in you.

at the same time.

After receiving Zhou Tiancheng's positive reply, the Chinese Football Association soon announced the training list for the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup qualifiers.

As soon as the list was released, the reactions of the media from all walks of life were not surprising at all. At first, they were stunned for a moment, and then they quickly realized that all major media platforms were bombarded at the same time.

CCTV: The biggest surprise! Zhou Tiancheng was selected for the latest training list of the national team.

Sina: Finally waiting for you! With Zhou Tiancheng, the national team's midfielder's chronic illness is expected to be solved.

Netease: Ace fresh blood! The first list of Gao Jiajun called the strongest new star in the Bundesliga this season!

Similar headlines appear endlessly on major websites, and Zhou Tiancheng's selection into the Chinese team roster immediately became the most concerned headline news in the sports sector.

In fact, the topic of Zhou Tiancheng joining the national team has been discussed by the Chinese media for several months. In terms of ability, Zhou Tiancheng is definitely qualified to play the main force. But once the national team is dragged down, 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 team events: they like to cling to the thighs of overseas players. As far as football is concerned, there are already lessons learned. So some media are worried. They also hope that Zhou Tiancheng can strive to reach the peak at the club level, following the example of AC Milan legend George Weah. Anyway, in the situation of the national team, the improvement that a player can bring is really limited.

After the disastrous defeat in the World Cup qualifiers in South Africa, especially the disastrous defeat at home in the Olympic Games last year, even many media have lost their hearts. 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 staff in an interview with CCTV Sports News: The coaching staff agreed that the current national team needs fresh blood to prepare for the impact of the World Cup in Brazil. Zhou Tiancheng's age The player who plays the main midfielder in the Bundesliga lightly, the national team will naturally not turn a blind eye,

The addition of Zhou Tiancheng will be an unimaginable reinforcement to the midfield strength of the national team.

That is to say, the coaching staff will give Zhou Tiancheng a very important role, will he be the leader of the midfield? A reporter tried to get to the bottom of it.

This question is a tactical secret of the team. I'm sorry, but I have no comment. Zhou Tiancheng's ability is definitely not a problem, but it depends on how well he works with the team.

Gao Hongbo's words are very truthful, and there is nothing wrong with it from a logical point of view. But when the media reported it, the comments of the majority of fans followed this sentence and went in another direction.

On this point, I'm going to top Hongbo and dare to tell the truth. Zhou Tiancheng is indeed very strong, but these teammates may be enough for him to catch up. If he plays according to the rhythm of Schalke 04, he is destined to only sing a one-man show. None Can keep up with his rhythm.

I think so. Hey, this kid is still too young and confused! The big hole of the national football team cannot be filled by him alone, and he will fall into the hole instead. Unless there are some abilities and abilities in the forward and wing positions Someone he can pretty much match.

Of course, no matter when there are pessimists, there will be optimists. A netizen named Big Z posted a long message: After reading the comments, you don't need to be so pessimistic. I don't know if anyone I found that Zhou Tiancheng is actually very different from other Chinese players. Not only does he refer to his performance on the court, but his rise to the top of Schalke is amazing. After watching the game for 20 years, it is rare to see someone who can be in the top five in his rookie season. The top five teams in the league are firmly seated as the main force. Behind this is not only the football skills. Besides, on the field, even though Schalke is halfway champion in the standings, it is no exaggeration to say that it is all thanks to Zhou Tiancheng He has everything from long-range headers, and if he does it alone, Zhou Tiancheng is not afraid at the level of the Bundesliga. When he comes back to face the intensity of Asia, it should be crushed without any suspense!

...

Gelsenkirchen, one o'clock in the morning.

Zhou Tiancheng was in a deep sleep, when the music from the mobile phone placed by the bed rang.

Zhou Tiancheng opened his eyes in a daze, only to realize that he forgot to turn off the phone before going to bed, but he really wanted to scold someone: Which wicked bastard is calling at this time!

But now that he had woken up, Zhou Tiancheng could only slowly pick it up and listen.

A young female voice on the opposite side said, Zhou Tiancheng? I want to interview you. What do you think about being called up by the national team?

Zhou Tiancheng scolded directly: You are crazy! You don't sleep in the middle of the night to do interviews!

Crack, Zhou Tiancheng directly cut off the call and turned off the phone.

Xu Jing, a reporter from Football News who was far away in Beijing, heard the beeping sound of the phone, and immediately realized that she really lost her head thinking about this big news. Although Beijing time is only eight o'clock in the evening, she actually forgot the time difference! (=easy to read novels)
