Chapter 234 Strong Reaction

This press conference caused a very strong reaction both online and offline in China.

In an instant, major traditional media quickly followed up, and online media had already been discussing it heatedly. Taking Weibo as an example, the most popular topic was the joint public apology from the State Sports General Administration and the Football Association to Chen Hero.

Everyone was talking about it.

However, as ordinary Chinese fans, what they were most concerned about at this time was not the apology, but whether Chen Hero could keep his promise and return to the national team after the apology.

In fact, they were very conflicted. On the one hand, they didn't want Chen Hero to come back, fearing that the dirty environment in China would tarnish him and affect his status and form in Liverpool. On the other hand, they wanted Chen Hero to come back, because Chen Hero was, after all, Chinese, and hadn't changed his nationality. Everyone still wanted to see him appear on the field as a Chinese national team player.

They had no psychological pressure at all to cheer for their national team players.

So what everyone discussed most was whether Chen Hero would return to the national team, and if he did, what kind of problems he would encounter...

Although Vera, as Chen Hero's spokesperson, replied to reporters, telling them that as long as the Football Association summoned him, Chen Hero would put on the national team jersey.

But after all, it had been relayed once, and who knew if the spokesperson was acting on their own initiative, or simply misheard.

The reporters would only feel relieved, and the Chinese fans would only feel relieved, if they heard Chen Hero say a definite answer from his own mouth.

Therefore, it was only natural that Chen Hero was blocked at the door by reporters after training.

Chen Hero was a little surprised: "Didn't you receive the message from my spokesperson?"

The Chinese reporters nodded one after another: "We received it, Hero. But we think it's more credible if it comes from your own mouth..."

Chen Hero couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Hero, the internet in China is going crazy right now, fans are discussing whether you will return to China to participate in the national team games... You also know that the national team match day is in a few days. The Chinese team has two friendly matches... The fans still want you to go back, after all, everyone wants to see you wearing the national team jersey..."

One reporter said.

Chen Hero asked him: "Is this the fans' wish?"

The reporter nodded: "Yes, it's the wish of all Chinese fans!"

Chen Hero also nodded, then freed his right hand, raised it to the sky, and clenched it into a fist. Then he said to the reporter: "Now you can tell them, I will grant their wish!"

After Chen Hero made this move, the eyes of the Chinese reporters present lit up.

Anyone who knew Chen Hero knew what this action meant.

As long as you call on Chen Hero, hoping that he will come forward to solve the problem, he will raise his right fist. This action means that he has heard the fans' call and is ready to respond to those calls and meet their requirements.

Putting it on this matter, the meaning is very clear - Chen Hero has heard the shouts of the Chinese fans, and at the same time he intends to respond to them and meet their requirements.

That is to say, Chen Hero will return to the national team!

This is simply the answer that all Chinese fans want to hear most!

But there will always be someone who will stand up and pour cold water on everyone at this time.

A Chinese reporter stood up and asked: "But, Hero. There is also another voice in China, they think that your choice to return to the national team is a very dangerous behavior... because maybe you will be affected by returning to China to participate in the game, and even... we all know what Chinese football is like, they are worried that those bad things will affect you..."

The reporter had tried his best to be euphemistic, but everyone understood what he meant.

Because these are the facts. Facts that every Chinese football player knows.

But Chen Hero's answer surprised people.

"I know what you are talking about, I know it better than you. But I'm not worried, no one can affect me." He raised his head and said very arrogantly.

He didn't take those things that people talked about with fear at all.

Someone clicked their tongue - Chen Hero is indeed domineering!

Some people curled their lips - you are tough now, who knows what you will be like in that environment! It would be good if you don't go with the flow with your nightclub habits!

Almost at the same time as Chen Hero expressed his position, the Chinese Football Association released the latest national team list, and Chen Hero's name was impressively listed.

This means that Chen Hero has become a member of the Chinese national team.

The stone in many people's hearts fell to the ground, and they breathed a sigh of relief - they can finally see Chen Hero wearing the national team jersey to participate in the game at their doorstep.

The personnel selected for this list will be training in Beijing, and then face two opponents in the warm-up match in Beijing - Vietnam and Honduras.

In the world of football, Vietnam and Honduras are not considered strong teams.

But for the current Chinese team, facing these two teams at home, they are not sure of winning.

Especially when facing Vietnam, Chinese fans feel the deepest - before this century, the Chinese team played against small Southeast Asian teams such as Vietnam and Thailand, and they were really good at it. Relying on high-altitude bombing was enough to deal with the short opponents. But the current Chinese team, as long as they are a little absent-minded, will be stabbed hard by the opponent.

The previous Chinese team was criticized a lot, such as the rough footwork, and the single tactical play. But one thing that has to be admitted is that the Chinese team at that time was very distinctive.

Even if it is called the "Chinese Header Team", it is still a characteristic. At that time, the characteristic of the Chinese team was that the two wings flew together, the speed was fast, and the header was good. Maybe it won't be cheap against teams like Iran, but at least the games that should be won will not be lost.

The Chinese team after that was not as good as each year, and even fell to the point where facing Singapore made Chinese fans feel frightened.

Therefore, without Chen Hero, the outcome of these two warm-up matches with Vietnam and Honduras may not be easy to say.

Now, with Chen Hero, everyone is relieved.

Because the national team match day is coming soon, Chen Hero did not delay in Liverpool. As soon as the list was released, he set off to fly back to China.

On the day he left Liverpool, John Lennon Airport gathered many Chinese reporters, who were all there to witness this historic moment.

After more than ten hours, at the Capital International Airport, there will be more reporters and fans crowded there, waiting to greet Chen Hero. Although there is no official organization, it is all spontaneous behavior by fans, but the scene will not be less than the arrival of any big star.

Chen Hero did not say anything at John Lennon Airport in Liverpool. He carried a backpack and dragged a suitcase alone, and mixed into the crowd.

Similarly, when he returned to China, he looked very cool wearing sunglasses. Facing the media that swarmed up, he kept his mouth shut and did not say a word.

But he made a move that made the entire arrival hall of the Capital International Airport boil.

He raised his right fist high to the Chinese fans who welcomed him!

A huge cheer erupted near the arrival hall, and then everyone raised their right fists together!

For a time, there were fists everywhere, and cheers resounded like thunder!

Other people around, non-fans, and airport staff looked at them in surprise and curiosity, looking at the tallest guy in the crowd.

From now on, Chinese fans can also proudly make this move. Their voices and calls also have someone who can listen to them, and someone who can fulfill their wishes... God!

Chen Hero left like this, without saying a word, just making a move, and the airport was filled with his name.

When those domestic reporters saw Chen Hero's back, they couldn't help but sigh: "This is the style of a big name!"

Someone was stunned for a moment, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "Oh, I'm especially looking forward to his story in the national team now... I think it must be very exciting!"

※※※

It is indeed very exciting - the players and coaches of the Chinese national team have never seen such a newcomer joining the team.

Chen Hero's taxi was at the front, followed by more than a dozen cars, all of which were reporters from all over the country. They followed Chen Hero's car all the way to the gate of the Xianghe training base.

When Chen Hero was still in the car giving the driver money and signing autographs, the reporters' convoy had stopped in a series of screeching brakes, and then the reporters quickly jumped out of the car, carrying cameras and cameras, and rushed to Chen Hero's taxi, surrounding the car.

Chen Hero hasn't come out yet, and the flashlights are already flashing.

The momentum is like watching an American blockbuster.

When Chen Hero got out of the car, the atmosphere at the scene reached its climax. In addition to the sound of the shutter clicking, the reporters kept squeezing up and impatiently threw out various questions.

But Chen Hero, like those superstar idols in the movies, kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word, just buried his head and squeezed forward. He was deaf to the surrounding sounds.

If there were a few black-clad bodyguards wearing sunglasses protecting him and helping him drive away the reporters, it would be even more stylish!

Unfortunately, the only ones helping him were the Xianghe training base security guards wearing very rustic uniforms, which was a far cry from the temperament.

Despite this, Chen Hero's powerful aura had already spread to the inside of the Xianghe training base.

Because of this amazing scene that happened at the gate of the training base, all the members of the national team knew that "the most special one" had finally arrived after being late for eight years for some reasons that everyone knew.

As soon as he came, it was so earth-shattering, everyone knew that this person was probably not the kind of person who was easy to get along with...
