Retire Money Bro excitedly hugged Zhao Gang, almost crying.

Why didn't you come back sooner? Where have you been?

Do you know how we got through those previous World Cup qualifiers?

We were hammered, our eyes glazed over, unable to tell north from south.

We went with excitement and returned with bruised faces.

No Dragon Country fan dared to raise their head.

We stood up, we finally stood up today.

Afterward, Zhao Gang took photos with these lovely and respectable fans, signed autographs, left the stands, and departed with the team.

When he turned back and saw the hopeful, excited faces of those fans, constantly waving their fists and applauding, Zhao Gang felt that everything he had done was worthwhile.

As long as he didn't die on the field, he should fight and struggle.

These fans, who were not his relatives or friends, had such passionate love and respect for him, and they deserved to reap their own happiness and joy.

Back in the locker room, he sorted out his gear and took a shower.

This phase of the World Cup qualifiers was coming to an end, and the next phase would not restart until March of next year.

For Zhao Gang, an even more difficult schedule was about to begin.

The English Premier League has no winter break. The league, the English League Cup, and the Champions League already have very tight schedules, and with the addition of the FA Cup, Manchester City would soon begin participating.

This was a very big test for him and for Manchester City.

Fortunately, this World Cup qualifier was a good start. Lippi and Zhao Gang joined forces for the first time and achieved very good results.

Zhao Gang packed everything up and prepared to apply to leave the team directly and return to Lianhai.

However, Zheng Zhi stopped him, insisting that he and Lippi attend the following press conference together.

This was an opportunity to establish his reputation and status, and all the media and fans were definitely waiting for him to appear.

With just a few more games and continuous performances like this, Zhao Gang would become a god-like figure in the eyes of the media and fans.

The darkness of Dragon Country football was dispelled, all because of this magical young man!

The fans and media needed a legend, Dragon Country football needed such a role model, and the Football Association also needed a spokesperson.

No one was more suitable than Zhao Gang. He would be the bridge between Dragon Country football, the Football Association, and the fans and media.

"You will definitely succeed. I heard that you are a city hero in Norwich, and you will also be a hero of Dragon Country football. Your foundation is not yet solid enough. In a year, you will be the absolute boss of the Dragon Country football locker room and the field. You will definitely lead Dragon Country football on the right path."

"Dragon Country's players are indeed much worse than those in Europe, but they are not so不堪 (bukan - unbearable) in Asia. I have seen that our fighting power when united is really good." Zheng Zhi patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and looked at him seriously, "Believe me, most Dragon Country football players... except... well, those people, most of the Dragon Country players still want to play well, but they don't have a backbone, a reason to work hard, now they have one."

Zhao Gang nodded, "It's indeed much better than I imagined."

Afterward, Zhao Gang followed Lippi to attend the press conference.

He could see that the reporters were very relaxed and in good spirits.

Winning was good news for the media, the fans, the Football Association, the players, and the coaching staff.

Now, what Dragon Country football needed most was not a change in the system, but confidence and hope.

The appearance of Lippi and Zhao Gang happened to bring everyone what they wanted.

The fans and media were happy and could continue to sing and dance, discussing and looking forward on a large scale.

The Football Association players were relieved of pressure and could safely shift their attention to making money and engaging in infighting.

Only those football people who truly saw the facts had hidden worries in their hearts.

"The Qatar team is very strong and has very good competitiveness in Asia. Their entry into the World Cup is enough to illustrate their strength.

We were able to win the game, which is a very exciting result.

It shows that we did very well, and every player发挥 (fahui - brought out) their own energy. I saw their running, their defense, every aspect was perfect. From the process, the Dragon Country team should have won the game, our performance was better than Qatar's, and the players were even more diligent." Lippi himself did not expect such a result.

The cooperation of these players on the field was smooth and flowing, they dared to take the ball, and they dared to break through!

The level of these people was not just a notch stronger than the previous national team.

This was related to his tactical arrangements and personnel choices, but it should definitely not be so smooth.

Lippi briefly answered some questions about the game, and some goals for the national team next.

Of course, he also did some publicity for the Hengtai team, after all, he took so much money, and Pi Dai Xu's help was very great.

The reporters were more interested in Zhao Gang, because this was his first time being selected for the national team, and it was also the first time he had been interviewed by reporters in Dragon Country.

A large number of fans had already regarded him as the hope of Dragon Country football, and even the savior.

Dragon Country football, shrouded in shadows, finally had a player who could make a name for himself in the world. Even if he did nothing and said nothing, he would become that ray of light.

The fans gave him almost all their expectations and love.

After this game, more Dragon Country people who had not paid attention to European football would know about this young man.

Next, the media would promote him overwhelmingly, and he represented the traffic of football.

In the football section, Lippi was not good, Hengtai was not good, Pi Dai Xu was not good, and the Football Association was even worse.

As long as the name Zhao Gang appeared, I am afraid that the entire Dragon Super League's traffic could not compare to him alone.

The situation Zhao Gang least wanted to face would eventually come.

He hoped that he could join Dragon Country football and bring changes to Dragon Country football. He did not want, ten thousand times did not want, the fans, the media, and even the Football Association to put everything on him alone.

The Dragon Country national team was different from Norwich and Manchester City. In the other two clubs, becoming unique and becoming a city hero was an honor.

In the national team, his becoming the only hope and becoming a hero was悲哀 (beiai - tragic).

He was worried that he could not bear all of this at all.

"Football is never a one-person sport, yes, like you said, my performance was indeed very good, but this requires the constant running and constant containment of my teammates. This victory is not just my victory, but also the victory of my teammates, my coach, and all the fans and media who pay attention to us. If you were on the scene, you would see the fans who tried their best to cheer for us. They are not more relaxed than us.

I am really grateful for the support of my teammates, coaches, and fans." Zhao Gang answered a question.

For the second question, Zhao Gang was silent for a moment, because this question was very ordinary, but it made him very烦躁 (fanzao - irritated).

"So besides your teammates, coaches, and fans, is there anyone else you want to thank in particular?"

Zhao Gang looked at the reporter, was it because he did not thank the relevant leaders of the national football team before the first question?

Wo qu ni nainai ge zhua (Damn it), I came back to play football to save you incompetent guys, and you still want me to thank you?

Not letting you send me banners and kowtow to me is already me being generous.

Zhao Gang clenched his fists, recalling what happened a few years later.

Brother Tie used one plan to get rid of three evils, sacrificed himself, and ferreted out so many big蛀虫 (zhuchong - vermin), allowing the Dragon Country football world to幽暗复明 (you an fu ming - turn from darkness to light).

Zhao Gang really could not express his gratitude to them.

"Who do you think I should thank?" Zhao Gang really could not control his emotions.

This situation rarely happened. The English media had asked some sharp questions in order to deliberately create topics, and Zhao Gang was very at ease.

Now, this reporter's stupid question, even if he knew the answer, he could not say it, he could not control himself.
