Chapter 52 Selected for the National Football Team

After the victory against Frankfurt, Zhang Teng won the MVP of that game with his outstanding performance, especially the powerful shot at the end, which made more people remember this black-eyed and yellow-skinned Longguo native.

On the night of the game, Frank called Zhang Teng and said that the editor-in-chief of Kicker magazine had agreed to immediately publish the magazine with Zhang Teng as the cover character.

Although the snobbish behavior of the magazine made Zhang Teng feel a little ridiculous, but after all, it was a time of business, and it would inevitably be involved in interests.

A few days later, the magazine was officially released, and the Wolfsburg Club naturally bought this issue for the players to read.

When the teammates saw that Zhang Teng was on the cover of the magazine, some booed, and some asked Zhang Teng to treat him, but in the final analysis, the teammates were all congratulating Zhang Teng, but the way of congratulations was ever-changing.

Looking at the magazine with his portrait printed on it, Zhang Teng was also very excited. He never thought that his portrait could appear in such a magazine with global sales, let alone appear as a cover character. But now, all this has become a reality.

At this moment, De Bruyne walked over, with a smile that was usually hard to see on his face, and said, "What's the matter? Are you not used to seeing your photos printed in magazines?"

Zhang Teng looked up at De Bruyne, smiled politely, and said, "I'm not used to it."

De Bruyne sat next to Zhang Teng and said, "I may be leaving soon."

Zhang Teng has known the news of De Bruyne's transfer for a long time, but now he hears the news from De Bruyne himself, it is inevitable that he will be a little surprised.

Zhang Teng put his hand on De Bruyne's body and asked, "Is it settled? When are you leaving?"

De Bruyne pursed his lips, smiled slightly, and said: "I will definitely leave before the end of this month." Having said that, De Bruyne also patted Zhang Teng's shoulder with his hand, "I hope we will leave in the future." And be teammates."

Zhang Teng smiled embarrassedly, and said, "You are going to a big club. All the players are worth more than tens of millions of euros. I'm afraid..." At this point, Zhang Teng didn't continue talking. He just kept shaking his head and let out a heavy sigh.

De Bruyne picked up the magazine in Zhang Teng's hand, pointed to Zhang Teng's portrait on the cover, and said, "Don't underestimate yourself, haven't you seen it? There is an article in the magazine about the top ten most active players. You rank first in the ranking of the fastest shooting speed."

Indeed, Zhang Teng hadn't had time to read the article in the magazine. Hearing De Bruyne's reminder, he quickly opened the magazine and found the article about the ranking of the top ten fastest shooting speeds.

This article lists ten active players, and ranks their fastest shot according to the official statistics, and the first one is actually Zhang Teng who scored the last goal against Frankfurt a few days ago According to the statistics of the magazine, Zhang Teng’s shot ranked No.220 with a speed of 1KM/H, followed by Gerrard, Antetokounmpo, Nainggolan, etc. Players also entered the list.

De Bruyne stood up and said: "To be honest, the power of your shot is the greatest I have ever seen since I became a professional player, so you don't have to belittle yourself."

After finishing speaking, De Bruyne walked to the door and planned to leave. At this time, the sun was shining on him, making De Bruyne extremely dazzling. This may mean the official start of his career as a star.

A few days later, Zhang Teng received a call from the Longguo National Football Team and was once again included in the squad for the 2018 World Cup Asian qualifiers.

In fact, Zhang Teng has always been a regular in the main lineup of the national football team, but since he came to the Bundesliga, he has never been able to get a chance to play, so he could not gain the trust of the head coach of the national team at all, so he naturally lost the top 40 qualifiers The big list of the first stage.

At the latest stage, with Zhang Teng's amazing performance in the Bundesliga, coupled with the promotion of Kicker magazine, these naturally became the weight of Zhang Teng's re-selection to the national team squad, and prompted the national team. Coach Pei Lan finally made up his mind and called Zhang Teng into the team again.

On August 8, Zhang Teng officially returned to Longguo to report and began to participate in the pre-match training camp. Wolfsburg had such an unconditional agreement to return to China when signing the contract, so they could only let Zhang Teng return to China. Once he leaves, Zhang Teng will probably miss at least two games in Wolfsburg.

Because from today, Zhang Teng has to participate in the team's training camp, and he will not return to the Bundesliga until September 9 after participating in the last match against the Maldives at this stage.

The intensity of the training camp was actually not that great. In addition, he was facing all his familiar friends and teammates from the past, so Zhang Teng was in a particularly relaxed mood.

But for the teammates, Zhang Teng is no longer the same level as they were in the past. They used Zhang Teng's appearance on the cover of a football magazine as a topic of conversation. Whether it was between meals or training, Zhang Teng Teng's heavy artillery shots will always be something that his teammates talk about.

At the same time, after Zhang Teng returned to China, he found out that because of Zhang Teng as the cover character of Kicker magazine, the sales in Longguo had increased dozens of times compared to before. Fans bought this issue out of various mentalities. magazines, and some even bought a special one as a personal collection.

After Zhang Teng learned of this situation, he couldn't help but start to admire the business acumen of the magazine. It seems that Kicker magazine has successfully opened up the market of Longguo by relying on the cover character of this issue.

However, while a player with distinctive characteristics like Zhang Teng was appreciated by his teammates, he naturally also received great attention from the coaching staff. It was just this kind of attention that finally made the coaching staff decide to let Zhang Teng take the position of winger, even if Zhang Teng took the initiative Asked to play the full-back position, but Perrin, who was eager to win the game, ignored it. Perhaps in Perrin's view, Zhang Teng can only give full play to his heavy shooting characteristics when he is closer to the goal.

But in fact, Zhang Teng is more threatening as a defender than as a forward, but it's just that Zhang Teng himself is excluded, and others can't understand it at all.

Since it was the coach's arrangement, Zhang Teng had no choice but to communicate with the coach slowly in the future.

The time soon came to September 9, and the match against Hong Kong was about to start on this day.
