I don't just score goals

The Chinese team's 2011 Asian Cup tour has come to an end.

The moment when we narrowly defeated South Korea 4:3 and won the third place.

Many players of the Chinese team almost collapsed on the court.

After all, most of the players came all the way from the group stage.

The pace of six games in 21 days is too much for them.

The Chinese fans at the scene sang the "Five-Star Red Flag". No matter what, it ended in third place. The national football team's participation in the Asian Cup still brought a huge surprise to the fans.

The Chinese team, which fell to the third tier in Asia two and a half years ago, seems to have returned to the second tier in Asia after entering the "Hao Huang Era".

But whether it can secure its second-tier status in Asia depends on whether it can break into the 2014 World Cup.

Hao Qiang is relieved.

He has never been one to dwell on the past.

I have experienced and tasted the disappointment of the semifinals, and I have digested it.

As for whether the Football Association and the national team coaching staff can gain something from the "pleasant results" of this Asian Cup, he is not sure and can only take it one step at a time.

He walked off the field to the stands, and all his teammates consciously followed his pace.

When he smiled and applauded the Chinese fans in the stands, he bowed and apologized.

Other players imitated his move.

Invisibly, Hao Qiang is also leading the national football players to change their image to the outside world.

Although he plays football in Europe, he rarely feels the support from domestic fans in the stadium stands.

Whether in Lille or Leverkusen, even if there are a handful of Chinese faces in the stands, they may be European students or overseas Chinese, or even Chinese with European permanent residence.

The real registered permanent residence is Chinese fans, and their support for Hao Qiang is actually known to Hao Qiang from the rapid development of his own brand.

From the day his personal brand went online, Hao Guofu and He Qing were extremely busy.

Is it how well his brand is doing?

Fashionable? Novel? Excellent quality? Pleasant style?

No.

Hao Qiang is self-aware.

The group that can become stronger and bigger in just over a year and bring huge benefits to his entire family is the domestic fans.

Hao Qiang personally endorses his own brand and advertises on social platforms.

Those who pay the bill are domestic fans.

Hao Qiang kept it all in mind.

What can he give back to the fans?

I can only say that I am not cheating, and the quality and after-sales service of my own products always come first.

Then what he can personally repay the fans is to be himself, whether in the club or the national team.

Working hard to win honors is both self-achievement and giving back to the fans.

Perhaps because he had never experienced the low point in 2008, Hao Qiang did not have much feelings about his third place finish this time.

There are so many things, but they can be summed up in two words: failure!

The national football team returns to the hotel.

The Asian Cup summary work should have been carried out after returning to China. At least this is a part of the national football team's itinerary.

Hao Qiang will definitely not return to China.

The second half of the Bundesliga season has already begun.

He has to rush back to Leverkusen.

Gao Hongbo asked the team to stay in Doha for one more day.

The next day they had dinner together in the hotel.

Everyone recovered a lot after a night's rest. Without the competition tasks, for many players it was time to go home for the New Year.

Therefore there is a frequent smile on everyone's face.

Hao Qiang didn't know if this was a celebration banquet, but the atmosphere was very pleasant.

In name, I still wanted to see him and Hao Junmin off.

The two of them were traveling together, back to Germany.

When everyone asked him to speak, Hao Qiang actually picked up the tea cup, collected his thoughts and then gave a speech.

“This is my first time playing for the national team in a major competition, and I have both gains and shortcomings.

I know I'm the lucky one on this team.

When I win, the outside media will brag about me and say it’s all my fault.

Even though the outside world will be very mean to me if I don't win the game, they lack the most basic respect for many of you.

I can't change this.

In other sports, the national team brings glory to the country.

However, we always disappoint the Chinese fans. When we perform poorly, we become a spittoon for the public. Anyone can come over to curse and spit.

To be honest, we are all supported by Chinese fans.

For players of the same level, our reputation is far higher than players from other countries.

So we also have the responsibility to play the ball well.

I think being a player is actually a happy job.

Training five days a week, playing one game and one day off.

Are you tired from training? No matter how tired you are, it will make you stronger. In the long run, you will also have a good body.

Is it hard to play in the game?

But we didn’t choose football because of our work. At the most, we fell in love with football because of our hobbies. At the most, it was a dream.

The best state is definitely to enjoy the game.

Only games we cannot win will make us suffer, make us uncomfortable, and make us bear the anger of the outside world where we are disappointed, disappointed and irrational.

Players who cannot win the game have no dignity!

This is the most normal phenomenon.

It's like a student who always fails in school. Does he have dignity?

A worker on an assembly line always produces products that fail to meet standards and are scrapped. Does he have dignity?

For us, dignity is earned through victory.

And victory will not only bring us dignity, but also bring us glory, wealth, fame, and a sense of accomplishment.

I think strength consists of two things, ability and attitude.

Both are indispensable.

I can't stand people who don't care about winning or losing.

To put it more bluntly.

If someone is messing around, dragging his feet, making no progress, and still feels at ease.

This is my enemy.

Because it is very likely to block and hinder me from winning.

What does this mean to you?

I will not get honor, and my dignity may be trampled under the feet of countless people.

My business value will shrink, and the money in my pocket will decrease.

Therefore, this kind of person will be an enemy in my eyes.

Isn't this kind of person hateful?

It prevents you from winning and makes you make less money.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents!

How could I be indifferent to the murder of my father?

You will think I earn more.

This is an objective fact.

Of course there will be many people who are envious and jealous.

Then come on horseback and catch up with me!

Surpass me, replace me.

You can also have a brand owner kneel in front of you with a money box and rush to sign a contract with you.

But if you are showing off, you will only have jealousy in your heart and do nothing.

Brother, I can only say that the layout is too small.

And it will narrow its own path.

I hope that next time we play a game together, everyone can show better abilities and a better attitude.

Let's defeat our opponents together and enjoy the game. When we win, we show off our power and we can be proud.

This is what football should be like, this is what our careers should be like.

Instead of sitting on a horse with your head down all day, ready to apologize to someone, spending your whole life cowardly, and being pointed at by people you don't know wherever you go.

Players should be admired by everyone for their coolness!"

The scene was silent for a long time.

Then a few players took the lead in applauding.

Hao Qiang's words actually made them feel extremely complicated.

Some people will be excited, some people will be deafened and enlightened, and some people will be absent-minded and secretly complain.

There are many people who don't like Hao Qiang.

But now the situation is stronger than the people.

Hao Qiang is not alone.

In a locker room without big bosses, Hao Qiang now has the support of many young players.

They really need some strong positive energy, instead of starting to learn the ways of the world when they come to the national team.

This group of people is the most able to feel the passion and sense of accomplishment of victory.

After the dinner, Hao Qiang and Gao Hongbo chatted privately for another half an hour.

Mainly to prepare for the World Cup preliminaries.

What Gao Hongbo is afraid of is that the next time he sees Hao Qiang, Hao Qiang will say something to the media that will make it difficult for him and the Football Association to get along.

It's better to negotiate early.

Save yourself the trouble of having to remediate and put out the fire afterwards.

Hao Qiang doesn't support anyone, he only has one principle: the strongest!

Don't think about this or that.

It's a bad thing to say.

Use a bunch of veterans to rush into the World Cup and take a group of young players to experience the World Cup as training.

It's much better than using a group of new recruits to train for the World Cup preliminaries and not making it to the World Cup in the end!

...

Hao Qiang hugged Hao Guofu and He Qing goodbye at Doha Airport.

It is impossible for him to go home for the Spring Festival.

The couple came to Doha to cheer Hao Qiang on-site. They have been out and about for almost a month and it’s time to go back to work on their careers.

Hao Qiang took Catherine and Hao Junmin on the flight to Berlin, Germany.

In the second half of the Bundesliga, three league rounds had been played before Hao Qiang returned.

Leverkusen fans only felt that the late winter of 2011 was extremely difficult.

Dortmund got its revenge at the Bayer Arena, defeating Bayer Leverkusen and taking the lead at the top of the table.

Then Leverkusen drew with Werder Bremen away from home and lost to Nuremberg in consecutive away games.

At the end of the first half of the league, Leverkusen led Dortmund by 1 point.

Now we are 5 points behind Dortmund!

Hao Qiang returned to Leverkusen to rest for two days before returning to team training on Thursday.

The atmosphere within the team is obviously a bit depressing.

Teammates were reluctant to talk.

Heynckes also looked solemn when presiding over the training.

During a break in training, he asked Vidal: "What's wrong with you? Did something unhappy happen?"

Vidal stared at him and said in a deep voice: "Unhappy? No, we are not unhappy, we just don't want to live!"

Hao Qiang was speechless.

Judging from the status of other teammates, it seems that this is probably the case as well.

Leverkusen's three-game winless loss directly destroyed their morale!

Heynckes briefly chatted with Hao Qiang.

All the talk is about the Asian Cup.

He actually asked Hao Qiang if he had met any good players in the Asian Cup.

The subtext is that if you have one, you can recommend it to the club.

Hao Qiang shook his head. To be honest, he didn't even watch the final. He only knew that the Japanese team defeated Australia and won the Asian Cup.

Based on his experience in European football competitions, it’s really hard to tell who is a stronger unheralded player in the Asian Cup.

Let’s talk about Australia’s old monsters, Cahill, Schwarzer, Japan’s Shinji Kagawa, South Korea’s Son Heung-min, Ki Sung-yong, etc.

These people are either famous or famous players in European football.

It doesn’t make sense to say it.

After two days of preparation, Hao Qiang was in pretty good condition.

Heynckes is happy about this.

Hao Qiang really cares about the team.

Playing in the Asian Cup has no consumption other than the competition.

That is to say, when I came back to Germany to rest, I went to Wushan with Catherine, but it was enough and there was no unrestrained love for freedom.

Bayer Leverkusen heads to an away game to challenge Monchengladbach at the weekend.

The confrontation between the two teams in the first half of the season was earth-shattering.

I thought Monchengladbach was extraordinary.

As a result, Monchengladbach is now the team at the bottom of the league standings.

If we don't move up the standings, we may be relegated!

After all, Monchengladbach is also the former Bundesliga hegemon and the home club of Jupp Heynckes’ glory as a player.

If they are really relegated, even though it won't be around for a long time, after all, they were relegated more than ten years ago, it will definitely make the old Bundesliga fans sigh.

Hao Qiang appeared in the starting lineup full of energy and heroic appearance.

Leverkusen fans looked worried.

But when I saw Hao Qiang, I couldn't help but shout his name to cheer him up.

I am happy when I have Hao Qiang.

Without Hao Qiang, Leverkusen fans did not expect the team to be so bad at first.

Maybe it was the relaxation after returning from the winter break, or maybe it was the awkwardness after missing Hao Qiang.

No matter what the reason.

The loss to Dortmund looked like a lack of strength.

The rapid growth of the Hornets' youth team has been growing rapidly in half a season.

After the draw with Werder Bremen, Leverkusen's mentality was obviously anxious.

After losing to Nuremberg in the last round, the German media criticized Leverkusen's performance.

Sharp words: Leverkusen does not deserve to compete for the championship!

Kiessling recovered from injury before the winter break, and Ballack also returned from injury.

But losing three rounds in this round hurts morale.

After losing the points gap to Dortmund, people were restless, and the Bayer Arena seemed to be shrouded in a haze.

But compared to Bayer Leverkusen, Monchengladbach looked even worse as they struggled in the sewers.

It's simply a disaster.

The atmosphere at Monchengladbach's home ground is like a memorial service!

Hao Qiang and Kiessling once again teamed up as a double center.

Ballack, Vidal and Rolfes formed the back three.

Augusto plays as an attacking midfielder.

Barnetta's injury forced Heynckes to make another change in formation.

Now we have a 4312 formation.

Try to strengthen your defense.

Monchengladbach did not dare to be overly aggressive at home.

The performance gap between the two teams over half a season has been clearly reflected in the standings.

If they thought they had drawn with Leverkusen 6:6 at the Bayer Arena in the first half, they would be able to continue to be evenly matched with their opponents at home.

I'm afraid it was because I persisted with this idea for too long that I finally fell to the bottom of the standings.

The pace of the game was slow and both teams were a little cautious.

Just like the grass and trees are all soldiers.

I am afraid that my opponent will smash my own defense to pieces.

Hao Qiang discovered that the team's play style had changed again, so he continued to improve his positioning during the game and adapted to the team's new play style based on the situation.

Now Leverkusen relies more on the two full-backs to advance quickly.

Compared with before he competed in the Asian Cup, at least Leverkusen's offensive and defensive transitions in the midfield and backfield are very smooth now.

Ballack and Vidal will organize and distribute the ball in the middle of the backcourt, and the latter will run more actively.

Augusto has at least proven in the past three games that he cannot make much waves playing as an attacking midfielder alone.

In the end, he became cannon fodder that attracts defense.

Contain, support, and divide the ball.

Threat ball forward?

He didn't dare because he was afraid that he would lose the ball if he controlled it head-on.

Kaklek and Castro took turns attacking from both wings, and Hao Qiang took the initiative to respond while constantly adapting to the rhythm and style of play, forming partial cooperation.

The quality of Monchengladbach's counterattack is no longer good.

Leverkusen will be able to stifle most of Monchengladbach's offensive threats by strengthening its defensive control over Rocket Royce.

The game always looked very close.

Until the 42nd minute of the game, Kadlec and Hao Qiang played in passing coordination for a period of time.

Keesling continued to output but failed to score.

But this time, Hao Qiang rushed to the goal and grabbed the first point, leaving Monchengladbach center back Dante with no time to block it.

A crisp volley shot sent the ball into the goal!

Hao Qiang sounded the clarion call for Leverkusen’s counterattack in the second half of the season!
