Chapter 123 Sportsmanship Forever

"Chen Hao has changed!"

After entering March, such voices suddenly spread in European football.

Spanish TV stations also discussed the changes in Atletico Madrid's No. 11 player in the program:

“连续三场比赛，包括13-0阿森纳、12-0拉科鲁尼亚、14-1希洪竞技，陈昊在这三场比赛中竟然交出了多达9个助攻！要知道，在之前的30多场比赛中，他总共也只有12次助攻啊！

The invincible new Golden Globe winner, since his debut in Metz, has an extraordinary desire for goals, but in these three games, he seems to temporarily let go of this desire. He scored 24 goals and averaged only 8 goals per game. Compared with the previous average of 12 goals per game, his scoring efficiency has dropped by 50%. Such a magnitude can be called a cliff-like decline!

We can't help but want to ask, what factors made him make such a huge change in just two weeks? "

In fact, there is nothing, everything is just paying off the debt.

Ever since he scored all the goals in the Valencia game, Chen Hao has been paying off his teammates...

Although he is the well-deserved boss of this team, he should do something that is conducive to unity!

It only took Chen Hao three games to successfully enter the top five in the assist list of the Champions League and La Liga.

There is no way, the top four are all his teammates, especially Griezmann, the French striker who wholeheartedly supports Chen Hao, who has scored nearly 30 assists in 70 league rounds, and almost 20 assists in the Champions League. With 4 assists in the account, even with the efficiency of [-] assists in a game, Chen Hao will definitely not be able to beat the French striker this season!
-
While the media was still discussing why Chen Hao suddenly became selfless and helpful, the current No. 3000 football player had already boarded a luxury private jet worth [-] million euros and flew to the Maldives in South Asia.

Well, of course he didn't go to this resort to recuperate his tired body and mind. As the head coach of the Chinese national team, his team is facing a critical moment of life and death, how can he relax himself?

“This hot spring is great!”

After more than 10 hours of long-distance flight, Chen Hao lay comfortably in the pool.

Personal assistant Mo Xiaohao and personal bodyguard Hao Chen entered the pool of the hot spring with soap on their hands and bath towels on the other. After a while, there was a burst of joyful voices in the hazy water vapor.

"Hold! Don't stop!"

"It's so cool!"

"Ah, it's bleeding!"

——Here I want to make a special statement: Because this place is occupied by them, they can bathe in the hot spring without morality. The city is my home, and civilization depends on everyone.
-
The refreshed Chen Hao received five other members of the coaching team in his presidential suite, including Gao Hongbo, the first assistant coach and former national team coach who just joined the national team last month.

Chen Hao, who was only 2 years old in two months, did not have the modesty and low-key of young people. He just nodded politely to them and waved his hand:
"Sit whatever you want. I have been famous for Director Gao for a long time, but you are not an unknown person after all. If you didn't nod yourself, I would not wrong you as an assistant. Director Gao can join our team, which really makes me feel a lot easier. ah."

Gao Hongbo hastily smiled and said:

"Don't be wronged, don't be wronged, Chen Guiding you is the real hope of Chinese football. I can learn and observe at such a close distance. Compared with the internship in The Hague, this progress is much faster. If I can help Chen in any places Guiding, that is also my honor..."

Although he has been controversial among the media and fans for his stubborn personality, Gao Hongbo is also a social person who has been in the sports circle of the capital for many years. He understands the iron law of this industry better than anyone else:

The strong is king!
Today, the most influential person in Chinese football is probably not the chairman of the Football Association, Cai Zhonghua. This chairman Cai has already had his first direct confrontation with the newly appointed boss, Director Gou. Achievements in the competition are used as his political capital, so he delegated almost all management authority to Chen Hao and his team, and even tolerated Chen Hao using public funds to refuel his private jet and arrange for the national team. An international five-star hotel, and booked a luxury suite that was obviously over the standard for myself, and even reimbursed the men's SPA service...

Of course, the premise of all this is...the Chinese team led by Chen Hao can achieve the predetermined target results, otherwise the Chinese Football Association will not only recover all the extra expenses, but also pursue his legal responsibility!And 100% will discredit the unlicensed coach who gave a public massage on the eve of the game!
At that time, an ordinary bather will probably be called bad style by them!

Just think about it, a child under the age of 18 is obsessed with taking a bath... How can the domestic media black him out? -
After the pleasantries were over, the conversation of several people also turned to the topic.

"Because the Chinese Super League has just played 3 rounds, most of the players are in the best physical condition. We will use the strongest lineup to deal with the Maldives the day after tomorrow. It should not be a problem and we will definitely win."

Fu Bo took the player's observation report and reported to the head coach.

Probably because of following Chen Hao, this low-key assistant coach also rarely said in a high-profile way that he "must win big".

Team leader Wei Qun added:

"Since Director Chen took office, the spirit of the team has also taken on a new look. In the previous two days of training, almost everyone was very active."

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows:
"Almost everyone? I wonder who's less active?"

Wei Qun did not hide anything, and answered the question honestly:

"It's a few centers, but... this should be excusable."

Chen Hao smiled dumbly, then waved his hand:

"Tell them, I won't be in the starting lineup for this game."

If the Chinese team needs to play cheats to play against the Maldives... then it is better to let these shames die!
——But the bad news is that India, the world's second most populous country, was defeated by the Maldives in 2009 and took away the South Asian Cup...and in September 2018, it was able to fight the Chinese team India, which was tied for 9 minutes, lost to the Maldives again, and once again lost the South Asian Cup champion.

Maybe in the near future, the Maldives may really become a threat to the national football team!

I am afraid that there are really not many competitors left for the Chinese team.
-
3 month 21 day.

The only regular football field in the Maldives - the National Stadium.

The Maldives is the smallest country in Asia with only 42 permanent residents, but on this day, the stadium with a total capacity of 12000 was almost full.

Chen Hao was a little surprised to see dozens of huge portraits of himself among these home fans, swaying in the sea breeze of the Indian Ocean.

For Maldives fans, they don't care whether their national team can beat their opponents. The reason why they gather in this stadium is because this is the only chance for them to observe the world's top superstars up close!
But... the world's top superstar has sat on the coach's seat since his appearance, and has no intention of getting up to play! -
Of course Chen Hao didn't need to play, and the fact was the same.

Although the Maldives Football Association is so poor that they don't even have the funds to rest the turf, anyway, the Chinese team doesn't need a very good field to cooperate with passing the ball. They use high-altitude balls!

Before the first half was over, Jiang Ning and Yang Xu scored twice, bringing the score 4-0 into the intermission.

After the start of the second half, Jiang Ning made persistent efforts to complete a hat-trick, and Yu Dabao also made the icing on the cake. The game became 6-0.

Li Tie, who has been paying attention to another qualifier, told Chen Hao:
"Chen pointed out that, as expected, Qatar did not let go, and Hong Kong lost."

Chen Hao showed a faint smile.

Against Qatar is the last game of Hong Kong, China. Hong Kong, which lost this decisive battle, stopped at 15 points and completely lost the qualification to advance to the next round.

With the victory of the Chinese team against the Maldives, they have already become second in the group with 15 points and a goal difference advantage of more than 30. No matter whether they can beat Qatar in the last game or not, they have already secured their tickets to the top 12 match!
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the stands:
"Chen Hao! Let's play!"

"Chen Hao! Let's play!"

He looked for his reputation, and there were more than 500 fans of the Chinese Dragons, who followed the national team to South Asia.

But just a few seconds later, the sound quickly spread to the entire stadium.

Those Maldives home fans shouted his name in unison:

"Chen Hao! Chen Hao! Chen Hao!"

What lovely fans!

In order to watch my performance, he did not hesitate to "betray" his national team!
Chen Hao couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

He greeted Fu Bo:
"Old Fu, apply for a substitution!"

Since the fans are so supportive, as the number one superstar in football history, how can he refuse?
In the 75th minute of the game, the head coach of the Chinese team took off his coat!

1 fans screamed at the same time!
Just 35 seconds later, the head coach pierced the home team's goal!
The next 15 minutes undoubtedly became Chen Hao's personal performance time.

Facing an amateur defense line composed of taxi drivers, cleaners and masons, he scored five goals in a quarter of an hour and also gave Wu Lei an assist, doubling the score from 6-0 to the 12-0.

Every time he scores a goal, there will be a burst of warm applause and shouts from the stands. The giant poster with Chen Hao printed on it is flying in the wind. Except for the small number of fans, Chen Hao almost thought he was in China home game...

"Drip, drip, drip!"

When the referee blew the final whistle, the Maldives fans, who were behind by a large score, were not too frustrated. Most of them even sang and danced to entertain themselves...

In the live broadcast room of CCTV, the commentator He Wei expressed his emotion:
"The game is over, and the Chinese team, which has scored three points, has successfully jumped to second in the group. In theory, it has already got a ticket to the top 12 match one round ahead of schedule. A month ago, the national team was still on the edge of a cliff and would fall to the bottom at any time. But after only three games, the Chinese team has regained its own temperament.

Yes, there is no doubt that all these changes are inseparable from the key figure Chen Hao. He has injected his own temperament into this team and made this team a real team.

Many people will question that this Chinese team seems to be becoming more and more Chen Hao's team.

They also question that football is, after all, an 11-man game and that one superstar doesn't really change anything.

But let's keep our eyes open, what Chen Hao is doing now may change everything! "
