Zhen Shaolong is indeed the nuclear weapon of the national team. As long as he appears, he is very deterrent. It is enough to disrupt the opponent's layout in an instant, and even make the opponent "ignore" other national team players, thinking that as long as he can defend him, he will win.

Not to mention the Chinese national team, it is the same in Real Madrid clubs. Every opponent in the La Liga and Champions League will make detailed arrangements for him, otherwise there will be no hope of winning at all.

certainly.

Most arrangements have also been proven to be invalid.

Perhaps the closest place to nuclear-weapon examples is here. Most of the time, the opponent of nuclear-weapons can only be nuclear-weapons, and conventional weapons are hard to keep up.

Zhen Shaolong did not have the awareness of being a nuclear weapon. He was not arrogant when he returned to the national team. Instead, he got along well with everyone. If he didn't watch football, he was usually kind, respected and polite to everyone.

Most people in the national team also have a good impression of Zhen Shaolong, especially those young and marginal players. They think Zhen Shaolong is much easier to get along with than all veteran internationals. They have no airs, are very calm in dealing with things, and are not disgusted with promises.

For example, Hao Lin has always wanted to play abroad, so he talked about this with Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong felt that Hao Lin had a good idea and promised, "When you have thought about it and can't find the team to contact me, I will contact some clubs and recommend you to try out."

This matter could not be simple for Zhen Shaolong.

Although Zhen Shaolong has no contact with most ordinary clubs, as long as he speaks in person, the clubs in the European League will generally give him some "face".

If you are applying for a normal trial training, any club will conduct a certain degree of screening. In fact, trial training is similar to the company's recruitment. Some interviewers with low education and insufficient work experience may be thrown into the trash can, but if there are industry insiders, it doesn't matter whether they have a resume or not. The company will definitely look at the face of industry insiders and give candidates a chance, because there is no harm to them if there is an extra interviewer.

The same goes for other teammates.

Zhen Shaolong is not disgusted with helping them recommend clubs, which is not harmful to him. For professional footballers, going to the fiercely competitive league in Europe to develop is indeed beneficial to their own improvement.

certainly.

Just a verbal recommendation.

Whether the trial training is successful or not depends on one's own efforts. It is impossible for him to help.

In daily life, Zhen Shaolong's performance is also very approachable. He will chat with his teammates about gossip and talk about everything. For example, some older players may feel confused about the future: What else can they do if they don't play football?

This is a problem that every professional player has to face.

Zhen Shaolong will also talk about this matter, "I know some retired people who will go further, either to get a coaching qualification certificate or to study in college. Some of them will become investors, broadcast guests, or to change careers and become celebrities. Of course, the premise is to have a certain influence."

Zheng Zhi asked with interest, "Shaolong, have you ever thought about it? What do you want to do?"

"Me?" Zhen Shaolong thought for a while, "If I can maintain my popularity, I still want to continue to be an endorsement, and then lie at home to count the money..."

"Hahaha……"

The teammates next to them all laughed, and several people followed, "My dream is the same as you."

"I want that, too."

What Zhen Shaolong said was just what he said, because he had never thought about retirement, and it was still too early for him to retire.

Others...

All right.

Although this is not suitable, it is difficult for them to make much money by popularity now, let alone after they actually retire.

Of course.

All topics still need to return to football.

Zhen Shaolong only followed the national team for one and a half days to train, and was about to usher in the game against Lebanon. Head coach Duisevic was not worried. The tactical formation he and Gao Hongbo formulated was 4231, and the formation was mainly placed on the stable defense of the double back midfielder.

In addition, one of the important aspects of this formation is that the single striker attracts enough attention.

This location belongs to Zhen Shaolong.

Duiseyvic and Gao Hongbo formulated this style of play, and some references to Pellegrini's "failure experiment". Pellegrini always wanted to play 4231, allowing Kaka, C-Ronaldo and Zhen Shaolong to start together and play in a suitable position, but the final change failed. The cooperation between Kaka and C-Ronaldo was too poor, and Zhen Shaolong's role was good, but the three forwards did not release the results, and their offensive ability and support for the front line were too poor, and the defense on the wing was not very stable. It was better to play 442 steadily.

The situation of the Chinese national team is different. They don’t need to let the lineup play such a big role. The most important goal is to stabilize the defense, and it is quite good to do it.

Duisevic will not be constrained by the main players. Among all the players of the Chinese national team, except Zhen Shaolong, no one can say that he is the absolute main player. Those who are not suitable for the formation can play as a substitute, or simply do not enter the recruitment list. There are not many professional players in China, but there is still no problem to form a national team of more than 20 people.

soon.

The game is coming.

In the afternoon, before the national team was about to go on the battle, they accepted interviews with Central TV, Arab News and Lebanese National Television.

Zhen Shaolong is the main interviewee. The news officer assigned him to answer four questions in detail, two of which were interviewed by Central TV reporters, and the reporters from the other two TV stations had the opportunity to ask questions once.

The interview on Central TV was related to the game, and Zhen Shaolong said bluntly, "I don't know the Lebanese team, but there should be no problem, right? I think my teammates are all confident. Lebanon should not be a very strong opponent. I believe we can win in the end."

The second question is related to the Asian Cup. Zhen Shaolong said, "I am a little looking forward to the Asian Cup main match. In fact, I have not helped the national team play in major competitions. The Asian Cup is a good opportunity."

The interview with Arab News was very casual and asked whether he would join Manchester City. Perhaps because Manchester City was invested by the UAE consortium, they were very concerned about Zhen Shaolong's whereabouts. "I have not received any news about this. Whether to join Manchester City is not something I can decide. Everyone knows the contract regulations, that is the business of the two clubs, and all I have to do is fulfill the contract."

The Lebanese National Television's question was also very casual. They didn't seem to be related to the game, but were concerned about Zhen Shaolong's view of Lebanon.

"This is a beautiful place. Beirut is very beautiful, but... how to say it?" Zhen Shaolong said hesitantly, "I met a Lebanese on the plane. He said he lives in Beirut, but he didn't know the game between the Lebanese and the Chinese team. I think it should be done with wonderful football to make more people like football."

Zhen Shaolong also talked about the headache of the Lebanese Football Association.

In the past few decades, football has been greatly promoted around the world.

Lebanon is not a small country with a population of more than 6 million. The per capita GDP in 2008 exceeded US$7,300, which cannot be said to have reached the level of developed countries. However, compared with China's US$3,800 during the same period, we know that the living standards are still very good.

Lebanon is still at the junction of Asia and Africa, and is not far from the European continent. Half of people's belief in Christ has also made the country more open than traditional Arab countries.

According to normal logic, Lebanon should be a football country, and there will definitely be a lot of fans.

However, the fact is exactly the opposite.

There are few people in this country who like football. Most people look at football as if they are unrelated matters, let alone spend money to watch football. The twelve clubs supported by a population of more than 6 million have not many people watching football. Club operations mostly rely on the interests of wealthy people to invest, and most of them are local players, because most of the clubs are in a long-term loss state, and clubs that have won consecutive domestic league championships are no exception, and there is no funds to buy excellent players at all.

Now, for the match against the Chinese team, the Lebanese Football Association has come up with a way to promote football.

However, I still need my consent.

When Zhen Shaolong arrived at the hotel, a Lebanese Football Association official came to ask if he could promote the competition with his reputation.

certainly.

Zhen Shaolong had no reason to refuse. It was in the mouth of this official that he had more knowledge about the situation of Lebanese football that he said so in front of reporters.

The Chinese national team has always been a training ground, and the hotel is at two points and one line. When the game is about to begin, they took a bus to the Beirut Municipal Stadium and found that there were many advertisements on both sides of the street. Zhen Shaolong’s promotional posters cannot be said to be everywhere, but they are seen too frequently.

When they arrived at the Beirut Municipal Stadium, they saw a huge poster ten meters high hanging in front of the main gate, marked with the upcoming game, which was almost the same as, "Lebanese team and Chinese team are about to compete. The Chinese team has the world's number one star - Zhen Shaolong. Everyone, whether it is a fan or a non-fan, buy tickets to come and see the stars!"

“…”

Zhen Shaolong felt a little speechless.

The teammates in the bus immediately quipped, "I think this is not the Asian Cup qualifier, but Brother Zhen's exhibition match!"

"The Lebanese Football Association is really shameless!"

"They did this to call on fans to buy tickets and enter the venue! Brother Zhen, don't charge a fee?"

Zhen Shaolong said with some regret, "It seems that I agreed? At that time, I didn't know what it meant. Anyway, it was just a promotional competition. If I knew they did this, I would definitely have a part of the portrait usage fee!"

Everyone was discussing it very hot.

The Lebanese Football Association's approach also made them feel very relaxed. It seemed that they were not here to play regular games, but to serve Zhen Shaolong as a foil to participate in the "exhibition competition".

When everyone entered the locker room, changed their clothes and went to warm up, no one mentioned any "charges".

The football environment in Lebanon is really miserable!

Even if the Lebanese Football Association has tried hard to promote, there are not many fans buying tickets to enter the stadium. When the warm-up is over, the fans have basically finished entering the stadium and not one-tenth of the seats are full, while the Beirut Municipal Stadium has only more than 10,000 seats.

In fact.

There are more than one person watching the game on the spot. Beirut Municipal Stadium is open all around and surrounded by large residential buildings nearby. Many people simply watch the game on their own balcony. Just glance at the surroundings and know that the number of people on the balcony is probably much higher than that on the stands.

certainly.

Still not much.

However, on the balcony of the nearby residential building, you can vaguely see some female fans, rather than in the stands around. The people coming are basically male fans. Occasionally, the extremely rare women are covered with tight bodies, and their bodies and faces are covered with black cloth.
