I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 104 Determination of the starting lineup and the German team with four circles and eight groups.

At ten o'clock in the morning on October [-]th, Dublin International Airport, located ten kilometers north of Dublin city center, welcomed the earliest passenger plane from Manchester today.

"Ilkay, will someone pick us up at the airport today? Or should we go to the hotel by ourselves?"

As a new player recruited by the national team for the first time, Zhao Jinge curiously asked some details about Gun Duoan's itinerary.

Jing Duoan, who is somewhat taciturn, looked at Zhao Jinge, who was like a curious baby along the way, constantly asking him about the news of the national team, and showed a helpless smile:
"The two of us should be the first to come to Dublin to report. The team has already contacted the hotel, and we can go there by ourselves.

Most of the players from the national team have not come yet, and now there is no one to pick us up. "

Having said that, Jing Duoan paused for a moment, and saw that Zhao Jinge did not show any disappointment, so he was relieved and continued to explain patiently:

"Normally someone picks up the plane, but because most of our national team teammates play at home.

Well, to be precise, they are all in Bayern and Dortmund. Those teammates who play domestic games will go to Frankfurt to gather first, and then fly to the away game with the coaching staff, so they will come a little later, maybe tomorrow morning . "

"That is to say, we are the closest and the earliest to go."

"That's right, but Zhao, you still look a little happy."

"Of course I am happy. The team will come tomorrow. Doesn't that mean that we can freely visit Dublin today?"

"It seems to be true. Zhao, I was just worried that you would be angry that the team didn't pay enough attention to you! Now it seems that I was thinking too much."

"Isn't it just that no one came to pick up the plane? There's nothing to be angry about."

Zhao Jinge put his arms around Jing Duoan's shoulders:

"I'm not that small-minded, but I'm a little worried about whether I can get a chance to play in the game on the [-]th."

"Didn't you read the news a few days ago? Our head coach praised you to the sky. Don't worry, Zhao, you will definitely have a chance to play. The current striker in the team is in the best condition."

Perhaps Zhao Jinge's chattering attributes have had an effect, and Jing Duoan has also become talkative today:
"To be honest, Zhao, before I met you, in my career, no player impressed me as much as Gotze at the age of 18. It was unbelievable to see his talent at that time. .

As a result, a year later, I saw even scarier guys. God always favors some people, especially you. "

Hearing what Jing Duoan said, Zhao Jinge also felt flattered.

In the constant conversation, the mutual understanding between Zhao Jinge and Gun Duoan is also constantly deepening.

After taking a taxi to the hotel booked by the team, the two put down their suitcases and took advantage of their free time to visit Dublin, the "European Silicon Valley" where art and technology are intertwined.

After spending a leisurely and fulfilling day, most of the players of the German national team also came to the city the next day.

That afternoon, the German national team was assembled, because many of the players recruited this time were fringe international players, as well as Zhao Jinge, a pure newcomer.

So that night, Loew planned to take the opportunity of the team dinner to introduce newcomers to everyone.

Before the dinner started, Loew specially called Zhao Jinge to his room:

"Zhao, how have you been in Dublin these two days?"

"Relaxing and relaxing. Coach, let me tell you, it's been a great two days off."

"Just have a good time, Zhao, I came here to ask for your opinion, do you think you can start the next game?"

"Starter, me? Of course! No problem at all!"

"I knew you'd say that, confident boy."

There was a smile on Love's face:
"Do you know the current situation of the team? The next game is very important. Not only is the pressure from the outside media, but we also have many internal conflicts and influences.

According to the original plan, Frick and I are going to let Mario play the starting lineup, and Zhao you will be the substitute.

The two of us don't want to put too much pressure on your national team's first game. "

Zhao Jinge couldn't figure out whether Loew cared about him or didn't trust him enough, but he believed that his strength was definitely qualified for the starting position:
"After I transferred to Manchester City, I have been under similar pressure. Now I am used to this situation. Coach, if you ask for my opinion, then I will always have only one answer: start!"

After Zhao Jinge finished speaking, he looked at Loew with a confident smile on his face.

Just kidding, as a cheating reborn, if you don't even dare to compete for a starting spot, just find a piece of tofu and kill yourself.

Lu Fu stared at Zhao Jinge's eyes for a long time, as if he had made up his mind:
"It seems that I am really old. I can't even match the determination of a child. There is still a while before the meal time. We can talk about it in detail."

"Zhao, do you know the current situation of the German team? To tell you the truth, since winning the championship, the cohesion within the German team has declined instead. With the retirement of a large number of veterans, two huge problems have emerged within the team."

"First, there is a shortage of strikers. I thought Mario could take Milo's place, but since he was going to transfer to Bayern, his performance has been getting worse and worse.

Coupled with the generation of other forward players, we are in the same predicament as Spain with weak forwards. "

"But God let us discover you. Do you know how happy Frick and I were after seeing your wonderful performance? We both agree that you are the cornerstone of the continuation of the German dynasty."

"Dynasty, ruling the world football like the Spanish dynasty, this is what I most want to do after winning the World Cup again, but the German team has quickly declined after reaching the top."

"You are one of our few hopes. Flick and I are very careful about using you. Because we have no time for trial and error, there are only two European Cup qualifiers left.

Before the start of the European Cup next year, the national team will only have three to four friendly matches, and now there is a very embarrassing problem.

Zhao, you lack the opportunity to express yourself in the national team's official games, and you have no chance to get along with your teammates. "

"The current media and German fans all agree that as long as you play, you can solve our hidden danger of being weak, but what if?"

"No case!"

Zhao Jinge answered Loew's question in a natural tone.

Loew was stunned for a moment, then laughed again:
"I hope so too, there is no chance, everything is on the best track."

"But as a head coach, I have to consider the unfavorable situation. Don't look at how the outside world praises you, but I guarantee that as long as you don't perform well in a game, they will question you."

"If you don't play well two games in a row, they will kick you hard and become like a devil!"

"But there are only two games left for our national team. Once you don't perform well, your chances of playing in the next European Cup will be very problematic. You only have one chance."

"If you are starting the game, you will have to face the situation I just said, so I am a little worried about gains and losses now. I want you to take on heavy responsibilities, and I am afraid that you will be crushed!"

"But if you come off the bench, even if the outside world has high expectations for you, as long as your performance is not too bad, they will not say anything to you."

"It will even defend you, saying that young people should be given more expectations and opportunities. It will not have much impact on your appearance in the next European Cup."

"And it's not just the outside world, we have a second problem inside. We haven't had a captain with absolute leadership since Ballack."

"There are various factions within the team, they were suppressed before winning the championship, and all of them were exposed after winning the championship!
Originally, Ram and I could suppress the situation in the locker room, but Ram retired.

Neuer's prestige is not enough, and he has many problems of his own. "

"So if you want to start, there will be a lot of resistance within the team, and you will be scrutinized like a magnifying glass from the outside and the inside at the same time."

"They will keep staring at you, waiting for you to make mistakes. You must show absolute suppression to convince the crowd!"

"As I said just now, Frick and I can only give you two chances at most.

By choosing to start, you can have two full games and show yourself to the fullest.

Either he will become the core of the German team's offense in the next European Cup, or he will face a very difficult situation in the national team.

No matter how well you play in the club, you will face a crisis of trust from inside and outside in the next European Cup.

There are too many players in the history who played well in the club but did not perform well in the national team.

If you choose a substitute, you can slowly integrate into the team. I will try my best to ensure your playing time in these two games, 10 to [-] minutes per game.

But this also means that in the next European Cup, your competitive pressure will be greater, and you will become one of the forward rotation players.

However, at that time, the German strikers will not have an absolute main force, and everyone will compete for posts in rotation. "

Loew analyzed the pros and cons of the two options to Zhao Jinge in detail.

"The former is more aggressive and you have to show convincing performances in the two qualifiers. The latter is more secure, but it may take until the next World Cup to establish your core position."

"Now Zhao, I ask you one last time, can you bear the burden of starting? Can you breathe new life into German football and become a pillar?"

Zhao Jinge nodded without hesitation, and said the same thing, if you don't even dare to fight for the starting lineup, then what's the point of playing the ball.

Looking at the resolute Zhao Jinge in front of him, Loew was deeply moved, and said with some melancholy:

"Just like Sir Alex Ferguson was optimistic about Ronaldo and bet that he will become the pillar of Manchester United, I also think you will become the pillar of the German team.

But damn it, our time is too short, if you can give me an extra half a year, four or five official games, that would be great! "

……

After determining Zhao Jinge's starting position, Loew is ready to help Zhao Jinge clear the resistance in the team and give him two chances to start.

The evening dinner is about to begin, and Loew arrives late with Zhao Jinge.

The players of the German team sat in several rows around the banquet hall.

Germans and overseas immigrant players, Bayern and non-Bayern players, are divided into several small circles that are clear at a glance.

Before Zhao Jinge could react, Lu Fu took Zhao Jinge to the center of the banquet hall with ease.

He looked at the faction gap that had almost been put on the table in the banquet hall.

Love's already serious face became even uglier. After scanning his players around, he took a deep breath and pulled out a smile:
"Good evening, gentlemen. Before we begin today's dinner, I would like to introduce the new members of our team.

I believe that everyone present knows him, either they have played against each other on the court, or they were once his teammates.

Let us welcome Zhao Jinge as the new number 9 of the German national team! "

After speaking, Loew himself took the lead in applauding. Of course, the German players off the court would not disrespect Loew, and they all welcomed Zhao Jinge's joining with warm applause.

As for how much is sincere, it is unknown.

Then, Loew also put forward his expectations for the German team members present:

"In the next two games, we will definitely show our quality.

I'm sure we have great quality and cool lads.

The key is to hand in the answer sheet at the right time.

The important thing is that the lads make the fans feel your passion on the field and give back to our fans.

Whoever can, will walk with us on the way to Euro 2016.

We play in a way and style that excites every fan.

Be active, be goal-scoring, be inspiring. "

"Not much to say, gentlemen, let's enjoy a pleasant evening together!"

While Loew was speaking, Zhao Jinge also glanced at the German players in the hall. Many of the teammates recruited this time did know him.

Needless to say, those players from Dortmund and Bayern.Several Leverkusen players who just played against each other in the Champions League last week are also among them: Bella Rabbi, Leno, Kramer.

Barcelona's Ter Stegen, Cologne's Hector, Borussia's Kruse, and his old teammate Schurrle, he gave up his No. 9 jersey.

Except for Tony Kroos, the outcast, Mustafi and Emre Can, all of the people present were beaten by Zhao Jinge!
Even the current teammate Gundogan was beaten in Dortmund last season.

After looking around, Zhao Jinge suddenly felt an extra sense of accomplishment. It turned out that the entire German national team was about to become the concentration of his defeated players before he knew it.

After Loew finished his speech, he walked towards the direction of the coaching staff, and Neuer stepped forward to greet Zhao Jinge to sit down.

The other German players also enjoyed the food on the table.

Although logically speaking, Zhao Jinge should join the circle of non-Bayern overseas immigrant players, but at the invitation of Neuer, he still sat beside him.

But that's good too, Zhao Jinge doesn't want to sit with some disgusting guy.

After dinner, German players in twos and threes got together to exchange feelings.

Zhao Jinge also chatted with Schurrle about the current situation of Wolfsburg.
