Lebanon (Republic of Lebanon), located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea in southwest Asia, borders Syria to the east and north, Israel (undelineated borders) to the south, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. Not only does it have a pleasant climate, but it also has many historical landmarks and World Heritage sites.

However, as we all know, due to religious beliefs and ethnic contradictions in Lebanon, coupled with Han Sen's super popularity in world football, Han Sen, who is alone in Lebanon, and Xu Yun, who is pregnant, do not dare to play at will, so they can only wait patiently for the team to come. The Chinese Embassy in Lebanon specially arranged rooms for Han Sen and Xu Yun, and assigned special personnel to be responsible for the whole process of Han Sen's stay in Lebanon alone.

And it was not only Han Sen who came first, Zheng Zhi and Han Sen, who played for the Celtics of the Soviet Super League, came to Lebanon from the United Kingdom and were also arranged by the embassy in the same hotel, you must know that the two have almost never met since the Olympics. Han Sen returned to China last year to play the Asian Cup qualifiers against Vietnam, but Zheng Zhi did not participate. So when they met this time, the two were overjoyed, after all, they had an unforgettable time in the Beijing Olympic Games, and the so-called brothers were nothing more than having carried guns together and fought together.

However, when it comes to their careers abroad, it is inevitable to sigh for a long time, Zheng Zhi said that although he played well in the Celtics, he was far from the level of Han Sen now, if there is no accident, he may return to China to find his next home at the end of this season, and Sun Xiang and Dong Fangzhuo, who had made small achievements in foreign countries before, have returned to China after the Olympics, so it seems now. Although Han Sen has played the pinnacle of overseas football that Chinese players have never had, he has also become a lone seedling!

Back in the room to rest, Xu Yun saw that Han Sen had been silent. I think it's a little strange, after all, this is only an Asian Cup qualifier, and the opponent is not a super team worth paying attention to, why does Han Sen seem so preoccupied?

Han Sen raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yun, who was looking at him a little strangely, the two sides had the same mind, Han Sen sighed and said, "As I play football higher and higher now, I feel more and more that I have more and more things to do off the football field. ”

Xu Yun snorted: "Do you want more Chinese players to play in Europe like you?" ”

Han Sen nodded: "Now the entire Chinese football is left alone except me." There is almost no one else. At the Olympics, you see, I was from Barcelona. Dong Fangzhuo is from Manchester United, Zheng Zhi is also abroad, and when he waits for the next Asian Cup or World Cup, if he relies on domestic Super League players. That level will definitely not go up. The last time I watched Qi Xin and Wei Miao's Chinese Super League game, the pace of the game was too slow, and now the two of them have just entered the state of professional players, and they have not been assimilated by this bad environment, and it will be difficult to say after a year or two. Dong Fangzhuo asked him this time, after returning to China, he couldn't even enter the national team. And it doesn't matter if it's Xiao Dong. They are still older, and they are older. There must be many domestic players like them who originally had characteristics, and I think it's a pity to spend it like this. ”

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Do you want to make them all work like you?" ”

"Operational?" Han Sen's heart moved, "Well said, with my current ability, I should do such a thing." It's a pity that the entire Chinese Football Association has also been hollowed out by the Ministry of Public Security, otherwise, with Mendes' current strength and China's characteristic official-based system approach, it is really not difficult to get three or five outstanding players to play in Europe. ”

Xu Yun sat beside Han Sen and took his hand and said, "Actually, I know that you still hope that your brother and your friends can live a life where you can concentrate on playing football and improve the football level of the whole team and even the whole country, but have you ever thought that it may not be so easy to do such a thing now." First of all, I think this is not something that can be solved by spending money, do you see that when you go abroad, do you spend money? It's not that the agent has a wide range of roads, or that China's affairs are easy to do, and you can do it, the most important thing is in yourself and yourself. You see that you also said that Xiao Dong, as well as Brother Dazhi, they have also stayed abroad, didn't they all succeed and then returned to China? Don't they have a way, no money, no strength? ”

Han Sen nodded: "It seems that I am a little presumptuous again, and I still have to ask you about many things in the future!" ”

Xu Yun smiled and touched Han Sen's face: "Actually, I still know that my husband has a mind to worry about the world, don't worry, one day, you can do all this." ”

The next day, the national team from China all arrived in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, Han Sen and Zheng Zhi naturally waited in the hotel lobby early, and saw the national team teammates who had not seen each other for a few days, and the new international players were smiling, especially Gao Hongbo and Li Xinran, Han Sen and Zheng Zhi stepped forward to shake hands at the same time, needless to say, Zheng Zhi held Gao Hongbo, and Han Sen hugged Li Xinran.

"Calm, calm." Li Xinran obviously didn't want Han Sen's unrestrained temperament in school to be brought to the national team, and deliberately pretended to be impatient to get rid of Han Sen, in fact, there may be no one who loves this apprentice he brought out more than him, otherwise, who wants to be a comfortable university teacher and run around with the national team, not hoping to take advantage of Han Sen's current world football to use his knowledge and understanding of Han Sen, and strive to take Chinese football to the next level.

"Okay, okay, after the room is divided, let's take a break and have a short meeting before lunch." Gao Hongbo hurriedly shouted a few times, looking a little weak. Li Xinran secretly told Han Sen on the side, saying that because Xie Yalong and others were brought in, the Chinese Football Association is now leaderless, and although there are people in the national team management department who continue to organize events, they are still understaffed, so this time Gao Hongbo is the coach of the national team, and he was temporarily pressed as a team leader, but this team leader is completely empty, and Gao Hongbo has the final say in everything about the national team. He also said that Gao Hongbo also kept complaining on the road, but there was nothing he could do.

Because Han Sen and Xu Yun occupied a room early, plus Han Sen's invincible spirit now and Xu Yun is pregnant, it is difficult for the national team to break up the accommodation of the two. In addition, Gao Hongbo, who was appointed as a new official, should not have interfered in business other than competition, so at the short meeting after lunch, he simply didn't bother to announce the team's disciplinary rules, which made many new and old players snicker.

"In this qualifier, the opponent's strength is average, and we have gathered overseas players this time, so it should be said that we can win the opponent smoothly." Gao Hongbo changed his words, "This competition is also the first official competition since I took office. Personally, I'm looking at the fans across the country, and I want to be able to make a gesture. Therefore, for the long-term tactical continuation of the national team and the targeted training of our reserve players, I hope to take this Asian Cup qualifier as a starting point to carry out a relatively large tactical experiment and adjustment. Everyone has also seen that we now have very good and experienced overseas players, like Han Sen, like Zheng Zhi......"

Zheng Zhi sat next to Han Sen, and immediately said with a smile: "Coach, you don't have to give me face, the contracts of the Celtics and me expire this season, and I will not be an overseas player soon." ”

The national teammates suddenly burst into laughter, and Gao Hongbo softened his face slightly: "It's always the same now!" ”

Zheng Zhi waved his hand again: "Then don't put me and Han Sen together, I have goosebumps when I hear it!" ”

The teammates laughed again, Han Sen and Zheng Zhi already knew the bottom of it, and knew that this was not a squeeze on him, so they deliberately said, "Yo, Brother Dazhi, when are you still humble." ”

Gao Hongbo waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense." Dazhi said to me separately before, because his current physical condition is average, so he hopes to play a substitute, in fact, in my tactical adjustment, Dazhi will still occupy a very important position. It's a game for sure, but on the basis of the win, I want to see the new formation run in smoothly and our control of the game! For the time being, we will continue to play 451, but there will be a big change in Han Sen's position. ”

Han Sen frowned slightly, thinking to himself which one this was! couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Li Xinran beside Gao Hongbo, only to see Li Xinran smiling faintly, his eyes deliberately looking at the ceiling. (To be continued......)
