As soon as Chu Zhongtian comes back, Gao Hongbo can start tactical training, focusing on Chu Zhongtian's tactical training.

Outside the training ground in Dongguan, there is a banner of self-motivation for the national team, with a sentence "Beyond Liu Xiang", which makes them one of the handles to be ridiculed by the Chinese people. Everyone laughed at them for being arrogant and surpassing Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang at least won the Olympic championship and broke the world record. What is Chinese football?

However, after Chu Zhongtian returned to the national football team, there were fewer such ridicule. On the one hand, it was because everyone was also "fatigue about ugliness", and on the other hand, it was because no matter how bad the national football team was, Chu Zhongtian's ability and fame were all there. To be honest, now everyone pays attention to the national football team and watches the national team games, 85% of them are aimed at Chu Zhongtian.

If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, in the minds of these 85% of the people, Chinese football would be useless at all.

Still now, people believe that Chu Zhongtian should not join the national football team, which will ruin his reputation for life.

However, Chu Zhongtian still stubbornly joined the national team and became a member of the national team. His national team career was not smooth in the past few years. Under Zhu Suishin, he lived a very unsatisfactory life. The core of the national team is Zheng Zhi, not him. Most of the time, he can only play the bench for Zheng Zhi as a substitute. Even if he plays on the court, he is not the position he is used to. He looks more like a pure engineer. In addition, the absence of the 2007 Asian Cup due to injury also makes his performance in the national team in no way. In the national team, he has not performed convincingly in any major competitions so far, at most some warm-up matches.

This is somewhat similar to Gao Hongbo's national team. Gao Hongbo has been in charge of the national team for more than two years. Apart from his amazing performance in the East Asian Final Four, he has no other heavyweight scores that can be achieved. He played well in the warm-up match, but everyone believes that the performance in the warm-up match cannot explain any problem. He performed well in the warm-up match and lost his chain in the official competition. This situation has not been seen in the national football team.

Even if it was a 3-0 victory over South Korea in the East Asian semi-finals, many Chinese people questioned whether this was the Chinese Football Association bribed the fake football played by the South Korean team, or whether someone in the national team had bet on the football again, but this time they bet on their own. Some people also said that the Chinese team won the other Korean team had nothing to be happy about.

In short, Gao Hongbo's national team has not yet gotten rid of the environment of being questioned and ridiculed and looked down upon. Although this national team has made some progress than their predecessors, such as playing more beautifully, thinking more clearly, and mentally active... but it is useless. Without results, nothing is useful. Wei Di said that the performance of the national team is the focus of recent work, and has been scolded by many people for short-sightedness. The future of Chinese football is definitely not in the national team, including many famous football reporters, commentators and commentators. But if the national team really doesn't care about the results, they are just like playing soybeans in all competitions. If the World Cup qualifiers cannot be out of the line, the overwhelming curse still attacks the national football team. Calling them as shit, laughing at them as natural loss, and there are many jokes that ridicule them.

It's just that contradiction. On the one hand, everyone says that the future of Chinese football is youth football, campus football, grassroots football, and mass base. But on the other hand, the top national team in the pyramid performs poorly and will be scolded again. The ranking of the national team has risen, and everything is false, and it is true that it has the ability to show the truth in the competition; if the ranking is low, even the Maldives are higher than the national pig, so the national team simply disbanded. The national team won the ball, said it was moisture, said it was worthless in the warm-up match, said the other party was the second team, said that the other party was useless to do his best... If the national team lost the ball, the scolding would only lose, and even ××× could not play.

In fact, even if the national team wins the championship in any event, it cannot solve the current problem of Chinese football. Everyone knows this fact, but it can slightly improve the current environment. The current situation is that everyone is too impetuous, and those who support the national football team are too impetuous. The more they lose, the more they scold, the more they lose, and it has become a vicious cycle. Today's Chinese football cannot be solved by everyone's sarcasm and angrily scolding. If the national team can achieve good results in the Asian Cup, it may stimulate everyone to work hard in a good direction?

Therefore, regardless of whether the Football Association's work focus is on grassroots football or national teams. For the players and coaches of the Chinese national men's football team, it is only one thing - to work hard to play well in the Asian Cup and strive to achieve a good result.

In fact, the most ordinary Chinese fans are really very satisfied. As long as you play well, you can win. Think about defeating the South Korean team in the East Asian semi-finals, drawing the Japanese team, and finally winning the East Asian semi-finals, even the Spring Festival Gala that can't forget to mock the Chinese national football team every year has been the first to cross the Chinese national football team.

For any fan who also likes Chinese football, how good would it be to be like this often?

Chu Zhongtian didn't care whether he would become a new fig leaf for the leaders of the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports, and an obstacle to the reform process.

He only knows that for the Chinese fans who are still waiting for them, the Chinese team has the obligation to bring joy to them. He is not playing for the Football Association leaders, nor for the General Administration of Sports. He is just playing for the fans. He sings and dances in the stands for 90 minutes and shouts hoarsely. Not for those followers who only know how to sarcastically critics, but for those Chinese fans who usually scold fiercely but still go to the scene to support them when there is a Chinese team game, and will wait in front of the TV. They need a victory and an inspiring honor.

Mao Zedong once said: "The world changes, time is forcing. Ten thousand years is too long, so I have to seize the day and night." (from Mao Zedong's poem "Manjianghong and Comrade Guo Moruo") For Chu Zhongtian, it was because the World Cup was too long, so I have to seize the day and night.

What is the coming Asian Cup.

※※※The training camp in Dongguan, Guangdong was mainly about deciding to participate in the Asian Cup. The competition in the team was very fierce. Perhaps no one except Chu Zhongtian, could ensure that they would be taken to Qatar.

After Chu Zhongtian returned to the team, he followed the team to play a warm-up match, and his opponent was the European team Macedonia. Chu Zhongtian's performance in the warm-up match was very outstanding, which relieved Gao Hongbo and convinced his teammates. Chinese media all happily announced that the core state was excellent, and this national team had hope to go further in the Asian Cup. The opponents of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup also set their sights on Chu Zhongtian. As we all know, the most representative of Asian football are two major stars, one is the South Korean top star Park Ji-sung who played for Manchester United. Before Chu Zhongtian, he was the number one star in Asia. The other is Chu Zhongtian.

In this game, I also worked as a scout from other Asian teams in the stands, especially those teams that were assigned to the same group with the Chinese team. This was the last warm-up match between the Chinese team before the Asian Cup. The Chinese team's training camp was very closed before. This was their last opportunity to see the training results of the Chinese team, so I will naturally not miss it.

As a result, Chu Zhongtian assisted the Chinese team to finally defeat Macedonia 2-1, continuing their good performance in the warm-up match. Chu Zhongtian became the target of the media after the game.

In fact, before this, there have been questions about whether Chu Zhongtian could return to the national team to participate in the Asian Cup. Chinese media said it was no problem, Chu Zhongtian would definitely participate in the Asian Cup, and then said it might not work. The hearts of Chinese fans who were struggling were also up and down.

Because the Asian Cup is a tournament-based game and it is not arranged on the international match day designated by FIFA, the club has reason to refuse to release the person. Hao Junmin almost encountered this problem. He had just renewed his contract with Schalke 04 for two years. The Chinese Football Association and Schalke 04 negotiated for a long time before Hao Junmin was released.

At that time, the Chinese domestic media also criticized the Football Association for the sake of national team performance and ignored the future of overseas players. Hao Junmin's position in Schalke 04 was unstable. When he returned to China to participate in the Asian Cup at this time, he naturally had a disadvantage in the competition with his club teammates.

So it is not wise enough to recruit Hao Junmin. Of course, the Football Association has never cared about the players' personal future. Players are their tools. They just reach out to grab them when they want them.

Of course Hao Junmin knows the pros and cons of this, but he must not refuse the national team's recruitment. Not to mention what the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports will think of him, Chinese media and fans alone will scold him for being so bloody - when the national team needs you, you don't come, but why? When can't you compete for the team's position? The Asian Cup is only once every four years, and you, Hao Junmin, don't you, know how to consider which one is more important?

In fact, such things have happened to many Chinese overseas players. Yang Chen, Li Tie and Shao Jiayi are all affected by the national team games and lose in the competition of the club. Unless your strength is really an excellent substitute, even if you leave for a while, the team can't live without you. When you come back, you have to open your arms to greet them.

For example, Chu Zhongtian.

According to the meaning of finding Rangnick, he would not let Chu Zhongtian leave the team to participate in the Asian Cup. The Asian Cup that is thousands of miles away has a relationship with his team, and it is not an international match day. Why should he let him go? Even if the lawsuit is played in FIFA, Hoffenheim will still be in charge.

But Chu Zhongtian took the initiative to find him, hoping to participate in the Asian Cup. For Chu Zhongtian personally, the Asian Cup had surpassed the importance of the club at this time.

Chu Zhongtian is the absolute core of the team. Losing him will have a great blow to the team. But at the same time, if Chu Zhongtian’s requirements are not met, there will inevitably be conflicts between Chu Zhongtian and the team, and he may be lost forever at that time.

Should I lose him temporarily or forever? Rangnick nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, the Asian Cup will end on January 29th, and as long as the Champions League is not delayed, there will be no problem. If the Asian Cup will last until the start of the Champions League quarter-finals, then even if you risk losing Chu Zhongtian forever, Rangnick will say that he will force himself to stay.

In this way, Chu Zhongtian left the club and came to the national team. However, most Chinese media did not know much about these inside stories, and they started to write news based on their experience and imagination. Anyway, they were abroad and what happened was abroad. Readers and fans in China may not know so much. If they were not just editing them, they would believe it?

This is why today, Chu Zhongtian may miss the Asian Cup, and tomorrow it will be changed to Chu Zhongtian's determination to participate in the Asian Cup. The day after tomorrow it will become Chu Zhongtian's return may be doubtful. The day after tomorrow it is Chu Zhongtian confident that he can participate in the Asian Cup. The day after tomorrow it is the Chinese Football Association and Hoffenheim. What attracts attention is that Chu Zhongtian will not hesitate to fall out with the club and participate in the Asian Cup...

Even if Chu Zhongtian came out in person later and said that he would definitely participate in the Asian Cup, not everyone believed them - they were all hyped by the Chinese media and didn't believe anything.

Everyone's concern about whether Chu Zhongtian could participate in the Asian Cup lasted until the 20th day. When Chu Zhongtian really appeared outside the training ground in Dongguan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With Chu Zhongtian here, the Chinese team has much confidence in going to the Asian Cup, and there are more Chinese fans and media that deserve to be looked forward to.

※※※On the 26th after the warm-up match, Gao Hongbo announced the 23rd player list, and Chu Zhongtian was on the list, which was not surprising at all.

After the roster was announced, the Chinese team ended their training camp in Dongguan and flew to Qatar to adapt to the local climate and diet.

At 9:15 pm on January 8th, Beijing time, they will play the first group match with their opponent Kuwait in the same group. The second group match will be at 0:15 AM on January 13th, at the Caliphate Stadium, and the Chinese team will usher in the strongest opponent in the group, host Qatar. The Chinese team's last group match against Uzbekistan at the Galafate Stadium on January 17th, that is, on January 16th local time.

The 18th round of the Bundesliga began on January 14th, and Hoffenheim will challenge Werder Bremen away. Chu Zhongtian will definitely miss the game.

If the Chinese team is eliminated in the group stage, Chu Zhongtian can participate in the 19th round of the Bundesliga, which will be on January 21.

If the Chinese team enters the quarterfinals, they will at least stay in Qatar until January 21, which is exactly the same day as the 19th round of the Bundesliga.

Similarly, if you are eliminated, you can go to the German support club the next day to catch up with the 20th round of the Bundesliga. If you pass the quarter-finals and enter the semi-finals, the Chinese team will stay in Qatar until the 26th day. The final day will be the 28th day.

Of course, Rangnick hopes that the Chinese team will be eliminated in the group stage, so that Chu Zhongtian will only miss one league game, which will not affect it.

But if the Chinese team accidentally advances to the finals, then he will not be able to participate in the 18th, 19th, or 20th rounds of the league. In these three rounds, there are two opponents in both rounds, namely Werder Bremen in the 18th round and Schalke in the 20th round. At that time, the impact of Chu Zhongtian's absence will come out.

In addition, the impact of the Chinese team entering the finals on Hoffenheim is that Zhejiang greatly consumes Chu Zhongtian's physical strength and increases the chance of Chu Zhongtian being injured.

The Champions League knockout stage will kick off in mid-February, and it will be half a month before the end of the Asian Cup. Originally, the winter break was for players to rest and the team was renovated, but Chu Zhongtian still had to travel thousands of miles to participate in the Asian Cup. There was no time to rest at all. Who would guarantee his physical fitness? After the Champions League restarts, the game will become dense. As the core of the team, Chu Zhongtian must not miss any game, which will bring a considerable burden to his physical strength. What if his condition is affected due to poor physical fitness?

In addition, if Chu Zhongtian is injured in the Asian Cup, who can guarantee that he can recover before the Champions League quarterfinals?

These are the reasons why Rangnick is unwilling to let Chu Zhongtian leave the team.

But now that everyone has been let go, all he can do is pray that Chu Zhongtian will not be injured or consumed too much physical strength... Otherwise, what would you say this season to go too far in the Champions League? It's a joke... Hoffenheim without Chu Zhongtian will definitely not go further in the Champions League.

Chu Zhongtian didn't know what Rangnick was worried about. Although Rangnick agreed very readily, he was not so stupid that he thought Rangnick would not think so.

However, he is very confident in his physical fitness. Even if he participates in the competition in a row, he will not feel tired. For him, there is no difference between the beginning of the season and the end of the season, just like there is no difference between the beginning of the game and the end of the game. He has been participating in professional competitions for so many years, and he has rarely felt tired.

As for the chance of injury... Chu Zhongtian dares not say that there is no at all. He is the core of the team. In the game, the opponent will definitely focus on taking care of himself. Black-footed small movements are indispensable. Moreover, the Chinese team is in the same group as the host and Qatar. The referee will definitely take care of the host. If you want to win, you must be prepared to pay the price.

But Chu Zhongtian's extremely low injury rate in his career has made him confident to pass this level. His health is very good, which is not only reflected in physical fitness, but also in the seldom trouble of injuries. From Wimbledon to Hoffenheim, he has suffered two injuries, and it is also related to one game - he was injured in his thigh muscle before the UEFA Cup final and his arm fractured in the final.

Apart from that, there was no problem with his body.

So Chu Zhongtian was not worried about his injury. Even if he was injured, he would at most come into contact with the other party when he was fighting with him, and all were small injuries the size of sesame and mung beans.

Of course he also knows that the Champions League is important, but he is confident that he can return to the club with a healthy body.

He wants both the Asian Cup and the Champions League.
