On the evening of December 24, Madrid, Spain.
In a private room of a Spanish restaurant in the center of Madrid, four Chinese people were chatting happily.
Jiang Zhipeng, who was sitting outside, said carelessly: "Brothers, you can eat as much as you want today. Don't be polite. Anyway, this guy is treating you. Who makes him the most money?"
Huang Bowen sat in the back seat and looked helplessly at Jiang Zhipeng, who was ordering: "Brother, are you embarrassed to kill me? We both just joined Atletico Madrid, so we have the same salary..."
"Although the salary is the same, your bonus is higher," Jiang Zhipeng leaned in and squeezed Huang Bowen, "Half a season has passed and you have two goals and three assists. This is a pretty good result. . The bonus offered by Coach Simeone is also high. Today, the brothers are celebrating for you. Isn’t that right, Xiao Wu and Xiao Cai?"
Sitting opposite the two people were Wu Lei and Cai Huikang.
Looking at the two younger brothers sitting across from each other, Huang Bowen patted his chest: "No problem, I'm treating you today. Who will give me a bigger goal bonus?"
Wu Lei smiled shyly: "It cost Brother Huang a lot."
Jiang Zhipeng handed the menu to Wu Lei: "You're welcome to order casually. You are in northwest Spain and we are in central Spain. The distance is too far. We rarely meet each other. We just make phone calls. Today I will give this guy a good meal and let him Earn so much goal bonus by eating alone.”
Huang Bowen: "What is this called eating alone? It's not that you are too weak..."
The two were bickering, and Cai Huikang suddenly said: "The two of us are in La Liga, and the salary is far worse than La Liga, but if it is more than the goal bonus, I guess Wu Lei may earn more than Huang Ge. He now Already scored 10 goals in Segunda División, ranking fifth on the scorer list..."
"I'll rub it! So awesome? What's going on?"
Huang Bowen and Jiang Zhipeng were both a little dumbfounded.
To be honest, although the four of them played together in Spain, Huang Bowen and Jiang Zhipeng did not pay much attention to the performance of their two younger brothers in the Spanish Second Division.
Both of them are not very old, and they are unknown in the country. They are just practicing in the second division.
I was really surprised to hear Cai Huikang say this.
"Have you scored 10 goals? Are you still ranked fifth in the Spanish Second Division scorer list? Xiao Wu, you are amazing!"
Huang Bowen and Jiang Zhipeng praised him repeatedly, which made Wu Lei feel a little embarrassed: "The competition in the West Second Division is relatively weak. It mainly relies on overall cooperation and personal skills. I am a little faster, which can be regarded as an advantage. Especially last season. Inzaghi was my master when I was in the AC Milan youth academy. He taught me a lot and I benefited a lot."
Cai Huikang waved his hand carelessly: "You're welcome, I think your current level has surpassed Inzaghi."
Wu Lei: "Am I competing with him? One is in the sky and the other is on the earth. Don't praise me to death..."
Cai Huikang: "But you are faster than him. I think even if he comes to our team, he may not score as many goals as you."
Wu Lei: "The more I talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes..."
Cai Huikang: "I'm serious. Let alone you, I feel as strong as Gattuso now."
Wu Lei: "Have you forgotten when you were knocked away by Gattuso on the training ground?"
Cai Huikang: "I didn't have a good balance. If I had stood in a good position, I would definitely be on par with him!"
Listening to the arguments of the two younger brothers, Huang Bowen nodded: "This time I stand with Xiao Wu. Xiao Cai, I think you think of the position of defensive midfielder too simply. Do you think the reason why Gattuso is the world's best? Is it all because of his strong body and strong mental power? Yes, but not entirely!"
"Gattuso's peak period was at AC Milan. He and Pirlo's cooperation complemented each other perfectly. I don't know if you have paid attention to it. Gattuso's coordination with his teammates is excellent. In addition to Pirlo, he and Ambrosini , Seedorf and other players, he can cooperate very well. This not only relies on his strong body and desperate playing style, but also has a lot to do with his position selection and judgment."
"Gattuso is not fast, but you can always see him running around the field. He can appear wherever there is a situation. This is not only due to his physical fitness, but also because he predicts the direction of the opponent's attack in advance. , make the most reasonable position selection in advance.”
"So, Xiao Cai, you can't just focus on strengthening strength training, but also use your brain more, so that you can become a more reliable defensive midfielder on the court."
Huang Bowen can be said to be the leader of the young generation of midfielders in China, and his words are not unreasonable. Jiang Zhipeng agreed with this statement: "Xiao Cai, you are straightforward in doing things, but you must use your brain more on the court, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. I hope you will grow up as soon as possible and come to La Liga as soon as possible. Let's play together."
Cai Huikang: "That's what I dream of!"
Jiang Zhipeng: "And from now on in the national team, you and this guy are both midfielders. You try to outshine him and become the main force of the national team!"
Cai Huikang: "I'll try my best on this."
Wu Lei tugged Cai Huikang: "Stop making trouble, you are far from Brother Huang, study hard first."
Wu Lei was afraid that Cai Huikang's unrestrained words would make Huang Bowen unhappy. Unexpectedly, Huang Bowen smiled instead: "Okay, if one day you can surpass me, I will be happy for you. Now in the Chinese team, there are excellent offensive players There are many good defensive players everywhere, but there are not many good defensive players. There are Dong Fangzhuo, Gao Lin, Dabao and others in the forward line, and Zhi Ge, Xiao Chen, Chu He and others in the midfield. Now Xiao Wu is scoring goals constantly in the second division. China's offensive genius There are countless of them. But to be fair, defense is the worst."
Jiang Zhipeng was a little unconvinced: "Who said defensive players are not good? That guy Zhang Linpeng was even included in this year's best 11-man list in international football."
Huang Bowen shook his head: "There is only one Zhang Linpeng, so what? Among the remaining defensive players, Hai Bing is the best defensive midfielder now, and Feng Xiaoting is very stable, but even if they perform well, they can't compete with the Arsenal captain, Does it compare to Manchester United’s main striker?”
"Who are the remaining defensive players? You, me, Li Xuepeng, and Zhang Chengdong, how can we defensive players compare with other offensive players? We can't play the main position. It's said that the defense is stretched. Isn't it normal? The Asian Cup at the beginning of the year Why were we eliminated from the group? Isn’t it because of poor defense and conceding too many goals..."
After Huang Bowen said this, several people fell silent.
Jiang Zhipeng wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't say anything. After a long time, he whispered: "Brother, you are right, we defensive players must work hard. Otherwise, even if we have already advanced to the World Cup qualifiers, It’s the top ten, and if we want to stand out, we must not hold back..."
