Prominence in Football Community

At the beginning of a new day of training, the players of the national team were a little surprised to see Gao Zheng in the locker room - they hadn't seen Gao Zheng come to the hotel when they were sleeping yesterday.

Guessing that Gao Zheng must have arrived at the hotel very late, logically speaking, he should continue to rest in the hotel to beat the jet lag. Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng attended this morning's training!

Gao Zheng unexpectedly appeared in the training, which also made the media reporters very excited.

Long guns and short guns were aimed at him one after another. The reporters of the TV media stood in front of the camera lens with microphones in the background of the training ground, and said excitedly: "Gao Zheng has returned to the national team! The first practice! It can be seen that the long-distance travel did not affect Gao Zheng's mood. He was talking and laughing with his teammates, and he was very relaxed..."

"...Pei Lan appeared on the training ground, and he extended his hand to Gao Zheng, and the two of them held hands together...Pei Lan was obviously very happy that Gao Zheng was able to participate in the team's training so soon, and the two chatted happily... ..."

For Chinese fans and Chinese sports media reporters who are concerned about the national team's preparations for the Asian Cup, just Gao Zheng's return to the team to participate in training is already "big news".

After all, there was a lot of debate on the Internet about whether he should return to the team early.

After Gao Zheng returned to the national team, every international player can clearly feel the changes in the team's training.

The coaching staff has higher requirements for everyone's training than before.

In the past, if the international footballers failed to meet certain requirements, or did not do well, they might just turn a blind eye and close their eyes. At most, they would be warned to work harder next time.

But these days, if someone's performance in training doesn't meet the coaching staff's expectations, it's stopped and repeated.

Players in every national team are feeling the pressure.

The warm-up match against Palestine is the last domestic warm-up match for the Chinese team before participating in the Asian Cup. The outside world is speculating that Perrin may have to determine the main lineup for the first game of the Asian Cup.

So every origin has to work hard for this starting spot.

Of course, there are some people who don't have to work so hard. At least from the outside world, Gao Zheng is the player who can definitely be the main player without hard work.

After all it is obvious that

This team revolves around Gao Zheng.

In training, Perrin also requested the same.

But the effect is not very good. Even if the coaching staff is very harsh, the performance of the international players still cannot satisfy Perrin.

For example, in the offensive routine training, Peilan asked Gao Zheng to show the rhythm he played in Europe, regardless of whether his teammates could keep up.

But the result of this is that most of the teammates can't keep up. Some people can barely keep up, and they just keep up. After they go all out to keep up, they can't do other things.

The person closest to Gao Zheng's rhythm is the veteran Zheng Zhi. After all, he has played in Europe. Before Gao Zheng, he was the only player in the national team who had played in the five major European leagues.

The football training he received in Europe allowed him to keep up with Gao Zheng's rhythm.

Another player, Wu Lei, can also cooperate with Gao Zheng, because he can indeed run into the space and receive Gao Zheng's threatening pass.

It's just that the next shot after receiving the ball is a bit less interesting.

For example, just now when Gao Zheng pulled back to meet him, Wu Lei suddenly went forward on the offside line. After receiving Gao Zheng's pass, he faced the goalkeeper directly, but he missed it when there was no defense at all.

Let everyone present feel very sorry.

"...But this is the only one on the offensive line who can keep up with the high tempo." Perrin said to those regretful coaching staff members. "Gentlemen, this is reality. There are only a handful of players on this team who can play with Gao."

Everyone is silent, this is really a cruel reality.

Gao Zheng is the strongest player on this team, and he might be top-notch in the Asian Cup. But football is always a collective sport, and individual heroes cannot always be expected. If no one in the team can cooperate with him, Gao Zheng's burden will be heavy.

Now it seems that recalling Zheng Zhi to the national team has really become a decision to be thankful for. When Perrin first took over the national team, he was focused on getting younger, but the cruel reality poured cold water on him. The matter of coaching the Chinese team was almost turned into an "ice bucket challenge". Only then did he realize that in this national team, Zheng Zhi, who had already turned 34, was still the player with the best midfield strength and the most stable form, and no one else could replace him.

This is the current situation of Chinese football. Zheng Zhidu is thirty-four years old, but the huge China still cannot find a successor for him. Gao Zheng was born, but it didn't change the domestic football environment. He was like a grandson who jumped out of a rock, and he was so unique.

※※※

During the training break, when the players were resting, Gao Zheng took the initiative to find Wu Lei, and said seriously to this teammate who was nine months younger than him: "Your running position is really good."

Wu Lei didn't expect that Gao Zheng would suddenly come to praise him.

As players in the 1991 age group, he and Gao Zheng have always been mentioned frequently.

But in the beginning, he was actually more famous. After all, in 2006, he made his debut in the Chinese professional league at the age of 14 years and 10 months, setting a record for the youngest player to play in a professional league.

But then his brilliance was quickly replaced by Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng stayed abroad and won the best player in AC Milan, gaining the limelight.

Since then, the two have often been mentioned together, mostly in comparison. But in fact, Gao Zheng and Wu Lei have never played together, let alone competed in the same field. This kind of comparison is a bit like "Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong".

In this comparison, Wu Lei, who plays in China, is of course at a disadvantage. After all, in the eyes of Chinese fans, being able to play in Europe must be more promising and powerful than playing in China, because the requirements and standards of European football are much higher than those of Chinese football.

For a time, Gao Zheng became the future leader and savior of Chinese football.

He is also a talented player who became famous at a young age. It is generally believed that Gao Zheng is better than Wu Lei in terms of talent and future development prospects.

But everyone knows what happened next.

In those years when Gao Zheng was sluggish, Wu Lei made rapid progress. The second youngest professional league goal scorer in history, the National Games men's football team champion, the club's top scorer...etc.

He was about to overtake Gao Zheng.

However, Gao Zheng returned to the king in 2011 and never gave Wu Lei any chance.

Now Gao Zheng is shining in Europe, not to mention Wu Lei, in the entire Chinese football, no one can compare with him, whether it is active or in history.

But every time Wu Lei sees Gao Zheng shining brightly in Europe, he still has some competing thoughts in his heart-this is unbelievable, but Wu Lei still has it. Perhaps it was because the fans scolded them miserably when they mentioned the comparison between the two, so they had a rebellious mentality...

Of course, the thoughts in the heart belong to the thoughts. In fact, this kind of competition does not exist at all.

In the national team, Gao Zheng is the core chosen by the head coach, and everyone else must surround him and serve him, even Wu Lei, the local top scorer in the Chinese Super League, is no exception.

Wu Lei himself had to admit that Gao Zheng surpassed him by a lot both in terms of talent and current strength.

So he can only suppress the emotions deep in his heart, never show them, and give people an excuse to attack him.

As for him and Gao Zheng, they are just ordinary teammates of the national team. When some people want to curry favor with Gao Zheng, he will never take the initiative to get close to Gao Zheng. In terms of strength, he is not as good as Gao Zheng, and this approach is nothing more than the final manifestation of his dignity.

But Gao Zheng didn't seem to have that kind of thought, nor did he feel any embarrassment.

"I'm not joking, your ability to move without the ball is better than many of my teammates in Sampdoria."

Hearing what Gao Zheng said, the other teammates around him booed: "Then Wu Lei is capable of playing football in Europe?"

"I already have the ability!"

Gao Zheng ignored the booing voices, and looked at Wu Lei: "But you have to practice shooting hard, and it's best to balance your left and right feet."

You must know that Wu Lei is also the top scorer of the Chinese Super League for two consecutive times. He scored 15 goals in the Super League last season and 12 goals this season. He is the player with the most goals among all local players in the Super League.

But Gao Zheng said that Wu Lei's shooting still needs to be practiced.

If other people say this, I am afraid it will cause boos.

But when Gao Zheng said that, no one would think it was wrong.

Because in the face of Gao Zheng's goals, Wu Lei is really not enough.

Wu Lei nodded, he also knew where his problem was.

Gao Zheng said again: "I really think you can go to Europe to play football, that will be very helpful to you. If you want to go to Europe to play football, my agent can help..."

Wu Lei shook his head: "I promised Director Xu, even if I want to leave, I will win a league championship for him before leaving."

Gao Zheng opened his mouth, but said nothing.

It's hard for him to comment on the internal affairs of others.

But he sighed in his heart for this equally talented peer. The later he goes out, the less likely he is to increase the ball, and he may not be able to go out...

But he also knows Director Xu's kindness to Wu Lei, and it is understandable for Wu Lei to repay this kindness.

"But thank you anyway." Wu Lei smiled at Gao Zheng.

"You're welcome, I hope you can win the league championship as soon as possible." Gao Zheng replied.

At this time, the Chinese Super League is completely dominated by Guangzhou. They have won four consecutive championships in the league and won the AFC Champions League once.

It may not be so easy for Wu Lei's Shanghai team to overthrow the domestic overlord.

Zheng Zhi, who plays for the Guangzhou team, watched Gao Zheng and Wu Lei quietly from a distance, and did not go up to participate in this topic.
