Chapter 64
"Brother Huan, people on the Internet say Van Gaal has a bad temper. Has he ever scolded anyone?"
Another player came up to Chen Huan's table with a lunch box and asked curiously.
"The boss is just more serious.……"
At this point, Chen Huan decided to give some face to some teammates who were often scolded by Van Gaal.
"The team mainly uses criticism and education, and will not curse."
"Brother Huan, do you think I still have a chance to study abroad? I... I also have a dream of playing in the top five leagues."
Another national team player took the initiative to come over with a look of longing on his face.
"Of course, you are only 23 years old this year, right? Keep training, and you will have a chance." Chen Huan said in the tone of an old senior.
"Brother Huan……"
More and more countries stood up and came to the table where Chen Huan was. When the table was full, the latecomers gathered at the nearby tables.
Several absolute main players of the national team looked at Zheng Jun together, and their mood was very complicated.
"Sit over there. Chen Huan will be the core of the national team in the future."Zheng Jun stood up with his plate, and then several absolute main players of the national team came to the table around Chen Huan and sat down. In front of the restaurant, Li Yongqiang and several national team officials saw Zheng Jun and others sitting near Chen Huan as soon as they walked in.
They looked at each other and smiled.
Before, they were worried that Chen Huan, who had already played a main position in Manchester United, would put himself in a high position when facing his teammates in the national team, but from now on, Chen Huan has naturally integrated into the team.
And when the national team players took the initiative to sit around Chen Huan, Chen Huan had already become the core of the team.
Before the afternoon training started, the team leader Li Yongqiang took the initiative to find Chen Huan and discuss with him the issue of the national team jersey number.
Chen Huan considered and did not choose the same No. 30 jersey as the club. This number belongs to the marginal players in the team.
In the end, he chose No. 7 jersey between No. 10 and No. 7.
……
In the hotel conference room where the Fuso national team is staying.
All the Fuso international players and coaching team are present. The huge projection in the conference room is playing a clip of Chen Huan playing for Manchester United.
Head coach Takeshi Okada pressed the pause button,"Kagawa-kun, Chen Huan is your former club teammate. Please tell me about his technical characteristics."
""Hi!" Shinji Kagawa stood up and walked to the projector screen.
Shinji Kagawa had officially transferred from Manchester United to his old club Dortmund in early September.
Although he and Chen Huan did not work together for a long time, he paid special attention to this teammate who also came from East Asia.
"As a former Manchester United player, I admire Chen Huan's professionalism and competitive talent. After joining Manchester United from Long Chao's Far Red Team, he only took a few games to establish himself as a starter for Manchester United, so please be vigilant about him."
"Chen Huan mainly plays as a defensive midfielder and central midfielder. His long pass technique, free kick technique, vision, physical confrontation, explosiveness, and balance are all excellent. To be honest, as a midfielder, Chen Huan is almost a midfielder without any shortcomings."
"What?"
"No flaws? How is that possible!"
""Kagawa-kun, are you exaggerating Chen Huan's ability?"
Other Fuso international players in the meeting room raised doubts and exclaimed.
Usually everyone respected Shinji Kagawa, a core player with a very successful European experience.
But today, everyone thought that Shinji Kagawa's praise for the Dragon Country kid was too much.
"What I said is the truth!"
Shinji Kagawa frowned, raised his voice and continued:"Chen Huan and I have been together day and night at the Carrington training base. I am very clear about his competitive ability. His level has far exceeded mine. Please don't treat Chen Huan as an ordinary Premier League team's main force, but treat him as a core player of the Premier League giants!"
"If we underestimate him, then our Fuso country's goal will be easily penetrated by him! Do you understand?!"
The meeting room immediately became quiet, and the players' faces gradually showed seriousness.
Head coach Takeshi Okada nodded slightly, stood up and said:"Kagawa, please tell me about Chen Huan's shortcomings, or how we should deal with him."
"As a midfielder, Chen Huan does have few shortcomings. If I have to say, Chen Huan's left foot is mediocre in handling the ball. His short pass ability is not as good as his long pass ability. When facing the goal, he rarely chooses to shoot directly from a distance. He mostly relies on long pass ability to instigate attacks."
"How to limit Chen Huan is both simple and responsible. The individual abilities of the players of the Dragon National Team are far inferior to Chen Huan, and we can even say that they are not players of the same level. Football is a game of eleven people after all, so if we can launch a high-pressure siege tactic against Chen Huan throughout the game and block the passing and cutting between him and his teammates, it is equivalent to freezing him."
"Once Chen Huan is frozen, the Dragon Country national team will have nothing to fear."Shinji Kagawa said truthfully
……
Late at night, in the meeting room of the Capital Victory Team, the head coach of the Dragon National Team, Lison Oli, was leading his coaching team in a discussion about what formation to use in the match against the Fuso National Team.
"Although Chen mainly plays as a central midfielder and defensive midfielder in Manchester United, I think Chen should be placed as a forward in the national team.
A coach stood in front of the tactical board and shared his tactical ideas.
"Although Chen has a strong ability to take the ball, pass the ball, control the ball, and pass threatening balls in the midfield, this is not the ability the national team needs most. What we urgently need now is the ability to score goals. Put Chen in the forward position, and let other players play the bus directly to Chen, and let him be responsible for the task of scoring."
Lisson Ollie nodded slightly.
The assistant coach's tactical thinking is similar to his. There are a large number of European players in the Fuso national team, and there are also players who play for the top teams in the five major leagues.
In terms of the individual abilities of the national players of the two countries, the Dragon National Team was almost crushed one-sidedly except for Chen Huan.
"Chen had never played as a single striker in the club, so Liang was asked to play as a center forward to cover Chen, who played as a second striker."
Lison Ollie made the decision
……
On the evening of November 18, at the Victory Stadium in the capital of Dragon Country, the stadium was packed with Dragon Country flags flying high in the wind. The game had not officially started yet, but the stadium was already boiling like hot water.
