Xianghe National Football Training Base.

Tang Hong once came here, more than a year ago to prepare for the Asian Youth Championship.

More than a year later, I feel completely different when I revisit my old place.

After he arrived here, he slept for nearly 18 hours. Adjusting the jet lag and mental fatigue during the flight did make him need enough rest to recover.

On the national team training day, other international players gathered together during breakfast in the morning. They did not see Tang Hong, so they thought that the superstar had not arrived yet.

In the past month, the news about Tang Hong has been reported by domestic football media has shown an intensified trend. This Chinese player who shines in Portugal will not become an idol in the hearts of national team players, but will only bring pressure to them.

Just like everyone in a class who generally has average or bad grades, suddenly a top student comes. Will others come up to express their admiration or admiration?

Obviously not.

When they arrived at the training ground, they unexpectedly saw a figure who had already been shooting on the training ground, and countless footballs were scattered outside the court.

Everyone looked at each other, as if the scene in front of them made them very uncomfortable.

The current Chinese national team coach Camacho brought his team and his translator to the training ground. Seeing that Tang Hong had begun training, smile appeared on his face, he seemed very satisfied with the young player's awareness.

Seeing that his teammates and coaches were coming, Tang Hong walked over and picked up all the footballs scattered around the court and put them in a bag.

A teammate came to help, Tang Hong smiled and nodded to others.

"Hello, I'm Huang Baiwen."

"My name is Sun Xiang."

When Tang Hong was also planning to introduce himself, Huang Baiwen smiled and said, "You are Tang Hong. We all know that you are the most popular player recently. Is there any secret?"

Tang Hong shook his head and said, "No, I practice 12 hours a day, 4,000 hours a year, and 40,000 hours a year. There is a book called "Ten Thousand Hours Genius Theory". My friend recommends it to me. If you are interested, you can take a look."

Sun Xiang and Huang Baiwen looked at each other and looked at this talented star who had been blown up by the Chinese media.

Tang Hong came here not to make friends. Even though he refused everyone, his main focus was on playing football.

At the beginning of the training, Camacho, as the head coach, was very proud of his words, and his words had to be translated and explained in detail before the players could understand them.

The training content is not only easy, but also relatively monotonous. The so-called tactical exercise is more like putting some effort into basic skills.

As the new face of the national team, Tang Hong did not show any unique skills in training.

Because the training intensity is not large, the national team must have a huge gap between the training intensity of the club. The main task of players when they come to the national team is to play games and leave after the game. Therefore, before the game, they are to accumulate strength, adjust their state, and run-in the team, but they will not focus on practicing hard, and really hope that the players can improve in a short period of time. That is absolutely unrealistic.

Tang Hong saved his physical fitness and energy, naturally, to reserve savings for the competition.

As for the Chinese team from time to time, there will be rumors that the team will train, close training, etc., this is a very alternative measure in the world football world. It is very attentive in form, but it is essentially amateur.

During the break, Tang Hong would chat with Huang Baiwen and Sun Xiang, and the other teammates were just nodding. As the youngest in the team, Tang Hong was not a maverick, but he lacked some respect and enthusiasm for his predecessors.

After nearly a week of running-in, the team set off for Shenzhen.

The third stage of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers in Asia has played two rounds, with four teams in one group, and only 6 games in the group stage, and the top two advanced to the top ten.

The Chinese team won Singapore at home in September and lost to Jordan away.

Now we have to face another team in the same group, Iraq.

The third and fourth round of the third and fourth rounds of Iraq are a key battle to qualify!

The day before the game, Tang Hong was taken to the pre-match press conference by Camacho.

Tang Hong didn't know why he was attending the press conference with the head coach, but when he arrived at the scene and sat on the stage, he understood a little.

The reporters in the audience frequently took photos of him, and at the same time asked questions whether they were asking Camacho or Tang Hong, there was almost only one focus: Tang Hong!

There has never been a player like Tang Hong in the history of modern Chinese football who can make a big splash in the Portuguese Super League!

Camacho said he would give Tang Hong a playtime, and he was also looking forward to Tang Hong's performance.

Tang Hong was a little helpless when facing the reporter's interview, and the reporter's questions made him speechless.

For example, ask him what goals he has for tomorrow's game.

Tang Hong can only say: "There is only one goal, win, win."

Another reporter asked him: "How is the national team's strength compared to Braga?"

Tang Hong could only say calmly: "I don't know."

"Are you considering playing football in the past five major leagues?"

“Not considering.”

It’s not that Tang Hong is cold, but he speaks very gently, but he just talks concisely and makes a long story short.

But the reporters are still very excited and look forward to Tang Hong's performance on the court tomorrow.

On the evening of the match day, more than 25,000 spectators flocked to Shenzhen’s home court.

The stands were rendered in red!

The cheers in the stands began before the game. The rhythmic gongs and drums drove fans to shout for cheering the Chinese team, and the scene was also a bit shocking.

At the same time, a small number of fans were wearing the Chinese team's No. 11 jersey. Tang Hong was assigned the same number as his number when he was in Braga, both of which were No. 11.

The slogans they held were a bit exaggerated.

The wind-chasing boy, the king is back!

There is even a hand-painted portrait of Tang Hong holding the World Young Championship trophy, which definitely becomes an alternative landscape in the stands.

But Tang Hong sat on the bench with the substitute vest wearing a substitute vest.

Tang Hong, sitting on the bench, was focused without distraction, with his arms wrapped around his chest and his face seriously waiting for the game to begin.

The training camp in the past week left him confused.

The team that Camacho coached the Chinese team did not have a Chinese coach, and only the translator could convey the requirements of Camacho and the coaches to the players.

At the same time, Tang Hong had the illusion that he was repeatedly taught concept classes.

The coaching staff’s requirements for them are often a general concept, but they are not implemented in detail what should be done.

It is true that football does not frequently pause games like basketball or rugby. The coach formulates specific offensive and defensive tactics, from personnel to position, with leveled cover and main attack cooperation. However, football is not such a simple and even superficial tactical arrangement that throws the ball on the court and then says to the players, "Go to attack and play more on the wing."

Perhaps such requirements are very effective for Spain because Spanish players have a high foundation in their own abilities and tactical literacy.

But if Spanish coach Camacho thinks that the Chinese team can turn stones into gold in just two or three sentences, it would be absolutely whimsical.

Camacho's requirements for the Chinese team are mainly in two aspects: one is to speed up the pace, and the other is to strengthen cooperation between the middle and front courts.

This is a general direction, but there are no small details.

Tang Hong actually didn't know what to do. He could only listen to the coaches clapping and shouting about passing the ball, passing the ball, passing the ball, passing the ball, as if he was just taking one step at a time.

This may be flexible and free on the tactical level without falling into rigidity and rigidity. But the problem is that if a child who has just walked over and over mountains and ridges, a person who has just graduated from a driving school will participate in the off-road rally, this is completely unsure of the situation.

Tang Hong didn't know if other teammates had such doubts, but he was a little confused.

It can only be seen how the players will perform in detail on the court.

The starting players of the two teams appeared, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic, but some Chinese fans, no, to be precise, wouldn't it be Tang Hong's fans!

Seeing that Tang Hong did not start, they almost couldn't help but shout out "Camacho, you big pen"!

These fans' enthusiasm has temporarily subsided, and they can only see how the game develops and when will Tang Hong appear on the stage.

In the private room of the stadium, Lin Xingyu, Qian Yu and Tang Minghui watched the game here, and they were also a little excited to see Tang Hong sitting on the bench.

Qian Yu sighed: "It's good that way. If he loses the game in the start, he might really become the scapegoat."

Tang Minghui sat quietly. He came just to see Tang Hong up close, but he did not have high expectations for Tang Hong's performance.
Chapter completed!
