Chapter 105: Expedition Ceremony

After the game against Palestine, the national team took four days off, which meant the end of a month-long training camp.

After the holiday, the team will leave for Australia.

Although the four days were not long, Gao Zheng took this opportunity to go home and get together with his parents. This is also a rare opportunity to reunite with his parents in a season.

The time to get together was quite short, and the four days passed in a flash.

On the fourth day, Gao Zheng bid farewell to his parents and boarded a plane to Guangzhou, where the Chinese team will depart for Australia.

In fact, the Chinese team originally planned to start from the capital Beijing, but because they couldn't buy a ticket from Beijing to Sydney, Australia, the whole team moved to Guangzhou.

Moreover, the expedition ceremony that was originally planned to be held in Beijing had to be moved to Guangzhou.

In fact, the Chinese team has never held this kind of Asian Cup expedition ceremony before—it did during the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, but that was the World Cup, and the Asian Cup was the only one.

Some people speculated whether it was because after having Gao Zheng this time, everyone had confidence in the performance of the national team in the Asian Cup, so the expedition ceremony was held.

In the past, the Chinese team participated in the Asian Cup, which really lacked influence. Except for the real fans, other people were indifferent. In addition, the Chinese team has not made it out of the group stage in the Asian Cup for two consecutive years. With such poor results, it is really embarrassing to make such a big show-off ceremony-for fear of being scolded.

But after Gao Zheng joined this time, there was obviously a change. Not only the fans who usually support the Chinese team and the sports media pay attention to this Asian Cup, but even other media and Chinese who are not fans are also discussing the Asian Cup.

So the Football Association simply organized an expedition ceremony, which can be regarded as a strong momentum.

The departure ceremony was held in the studio hall of Guangdong TV Station, and all the players wore formal clothes and walked the red carpet outside the hall.

When walking the red carpet, many fans gathered at the scene, and they all came to cheer for the Chinese team.

This kind of treatment is really rare for international players, so that many of them still feel a little stage fright when walking on the red carpet, and their performance is not natural enough, and they don't look like stars who often "go on TV" at all.

This is not to say that people are unfamiliar with being on TV and in front of fans,

It's because they are always being scolded, how could they think that one day, they will also become the objects of the stars?

Although many people know that Gao Zheng brought them this.

But looking at those Chinese fans waving national flags, their posters, wearing their jerseys, and every Chinese national team player walking on the red carpet, I still have a lot of feelings.

Everyone feels that for these fans, this Asian Cup must definitely do their best. Just so that when the Asian Cup is over, when they return to China, they can still receive such a welcome instead of abuse and booing.

We are all human, and no one's heart is made of iron and stone. Who would like to be scolded and ridiculed every day? Who doesn't want to be praised and praised, respected and popular?

But this time, they have a good opportunity to justify themselves and change the image of Chinese football.

"Brother Zhi!! Brother Zhi!!"

"Wu Lei! Wu Lei!"

"Come on, Chinese team!"

These cheering sounds that they have heard on the court, in the current environment, make everyone feel a lot heavier on their shoulders.

When Gao Zheng walked the red carpet, the cheers and screams were the loudest.

That voice really makes people think that a certain traffic star has appeared.

Amidst the loud cheers, Gao Zheng waved to the fans on both sides while walking across the red carpet.

Although he became famous very early, this is the first time he represents the Chinese team in the intercontinental competition. This feeling is really different for him.

In Sampdoria, in Atletico Madrid, the cheers he received may have been bigger than today, but the cheers and cheers are different.

As a football player who has been trained since childhood, almost everyone's dream is to one day be able to wear a jersey with a five-star red flag on the chest and stand on the green field representing China. Every football teenager must have had such a dream.

But along the way, there are very few people who can really realize this dream.

He thought of his good friend Zhao Ju.

He knows that the reputation of Chinese football is not very good, and he also knows that fighting for the country will make him bear a lot of risks, but he just can't refuse this call.

Because winning glory for the country is not his business alone, and on his shoulders are the dreams and expectations of many people like Zhao Ju who walked with him all the way but disappeared halfway.

There are many people who want to wear this jersey but can't do it. What reason do I have to dislike this jersey?

The Asian Cup is just the beginning, and he will eventually help the Chinese team reach the World Cup finals, where is the real stage.

Old Zhao, when the time comes, I will take you to Russia to watch the World Cup!

The expedition ceremony in Guangzhou was broadcast live across the country through Guangdong Satellite TV.

Zhao Ju sat in the rented house and watched the live TV broadcast of the Chinese team's expedition ceremony by himself.

When he saw Gao Zheng appearing in the camera and walking the red carpet, the handsome Gao Zheng in formal attire with the Chinese team's target embroidered on his chest made him laugh.

"Chinese National Men's Football Team, No. 9, Gao Zheng." He read the subtitles on the TV screen.

Then he smacked his lips, as if reflecting on the sentence.

"So fucking handsome!"

At the departure ceremony, the final list of 23 players representing China in the Asian Cup was also announced.

It was no different from the list predicted by most media before the game, except for one small surprise, that is, central defender Feng Xiaoting lost the selection, which still makes people feel a little worried for the national team's defense.

As for Gao Zheng, he was on this list without any suspense.

If he loses the election, it will be big news.

At the departure ceremony, Pei Lan said that the goal of the Chinese team is not only to qualify for the group, but to qualify as the first in the group.

No one thought he was bragging, because this Chinese team has Gao Zheng, even if this group has a strong team like Uzbekistan, which is now fourth in Asia, it seems that the Chinese team has the strength to fight against it.

When Gao Zheng was asked by the host what he thought of this goal, he smiled and said: "I thought the head coach would say that the goal is to win the Asian Cup."

After causing the audience to burst into laughter, he continued: "I don't have a specific goal. I play well in every game. I think the result will not be bad."

"Champion?" The host took the opportunity to ask.

Gao Zheng shook his head: "I don't set a goal that sounds nice. I prefer to pay attention to every game. For example, in our first group match, I hope to use a victory as a gift to the fans."

"Well said, then I wish the Chinese team a successful start, and I also wish Gao Zheng his first goal in the Asian Cup!"

There was warm applause at the scene.
