Special correspondent Xu Yi reported that after helping Zhejiang team to rush last season, Hong Kong player Liang Nuoheng realized two wishes.
The first, of course, is to play in the Chinese Super League, and this year, he will step on the stage of the Chinese Super League for the first time; the second is to go home, he has not seen his family for 14 months.
As soon as the play-offs ended, Liang Nuoheng boarded a flight back to Hong Kong, and after accompanying his family, he returned to the mainland, and after 28 days of isolation, he will return to the team. For the upcoming Chinese Super League, Liang Nuoheng couldn't help but be excited: "Everything is worth it." ”
This time away from home, it was a bit long, "I haven't been home for 14 months." Liang Nuoheng remembers it very clearly. Last season, the first division was divided into 4 stages, adopting the tournament system, the schedule was dense, Liang Nuoheng could not return to Hong Kong at all, and when he returned after the end of the season, he had a very important thing to do, that is, to attend the wedding of his brother Liang Guancong.
Leung Kwan-chung is also a player and currently plays for the Oriental Dragon Lions in the Hong Kong Super League. The brothers embarked on the path of professional football, mainly due to the influence of their father.
"My dad is a fan and usually loves to play and watch. My mom told me that when I was just getting ready to walk, my dad took me to the court to watch the ball. Influenced by dad, we both fell in love with football. Liang Nuoheng said.
In Hong Kong, tv stations began broadcasting the Premier League very early, and Leung's family often watched, "The most watched is Manchester United." Liang Noheng recalled: "At that time, Manchester United was the strongest, in addition to Arsenal and Liverpool, the Premier League had a great impact on my brother's football philosophy and me. ”
Liang Nuoheng has participated in the school team since he was a child, representing his region in various competitions. At the age of 15, he was given the opportunity to play in England, playing while studying at a football school in Leicester and completing three and a half years of study on a scholarship.
"It was supposed to be 4 years, but I finished 3 1/2 years, and there were scholarships there to pay for transportation, food and lodging. At that time, a professional team took a fancy to me, but could not get a labor certificate, so I eventually returned to Hong Kong. Liang Nuoheng said.
Dream Junqi, Hong Kong Pegasus, South China and R&F team and other teams, Liang Nuoheng has played, and he and his brother Leung Kwan Cong are also members of the Hong Kong representative team, they all play defenders, and teammates call them "big guy" and "little guy" respectively, which is also a good story.
In 2016, Meizhou Hakka, who had just rushed to the Chinese League, invited Liang Nuoheng, but at that time, his Hong Kong Pegasus was reluctant to release people, and Hakka later invited once, "There are also several Chinese Super League Chinese League A teams that have also asked the club." In the summer of 2020, hakka "three Gu Maolu" finally signed Liang Nuoheng.
Since he had not returned to Hong Kong for too long, except for his brother's wedding, Liang Nuoheng left the rest of the holiday to his family and friends. "I do some exercise every day, and then I spend time with my family, and sometimes I get together with friends and have a meal. For the first time in all these years, I haven't seen family and friends for so long and want to spend more time with them. Liang Nuoheng said.
On the day of the flight to the mainland, the family came to the airport to see them off, and Liang Nuoheng took a group photo with his father and brother. He knows that what awaits him will be another busy season, and he may not have the opportunity to reunite with his family again until the end of this year's Chinese Super League.
Liang Nuoheng's flight first flew from Hong Kong to Chengdu, where he was quarantined for 14 days, then flew to Hangzhou, isolated in the hotel for 7 days, and then "home isolation" for 7 days at the Zhongtai base, a total of 28 days of isolation, before he could meet with the team and participate in training.
After having the "experience" of isolation, Liang Nuoheng carried a set of exercise equipment, "mainly leather bands, as well as massage tools, are used for exercise and recovery, if you buy it, a total of less than 2,000 yuan." ”
In addition to exercise, Liang Nuoheng will make video calls with his family when he is in the hotel, which is also a thing he often does last season.
In addition, Liang Nuoheng likes to watch movies or variety shows on the Internet, "Watching variety shows is quite decompressing, such as the very funny Jia Ling, who is particularly happy after watching her show; and the show that Cecilia Cheung participated in, I also watched a few episodes." ”
Liang Nuoheng is in good physical condition now, which has a lot to do with the regularity of his life, diet, he is mainly steak, salad and scrambled eggs, not too worried about eating unaccustomed, because these can be eaten in the base canteen. After the training, Liang Nuoheng will alternately soak in hot and cold water for an hour, and will also find a team doctor for massage.
Last season, in the match against Xinjiang, Liang Nuoheng suffered a head injury and stitched after the game, "Fortunately, I recovered quickly and can continue to participate in the later games." "Being able to recover so quickly has a lot to do with Liang Nuoheng's usual care for his body."
Like the stitches, what left Liang Nuoheng "painful" last season was that the team lost to the deputy squad leader on the road to overtaking, but in the end, the Zhejiang team still succeeded in overtaking, and he felt very happy - for 2021, Liang Nuoheng's definition is "all five tastes".
Liang Nuoheng's impression of the Chinese League A is from 2020, that year, he joined Hakka, "I joined the team in May and June, I started playing in the league in August, giving me very little time to run in, I can only adapt to the rhythm of the league as soon as possible." ”
Soon, Liang Nuoheng gained a foothold in Hakka and showed good strength, not only helping the team to reach the top six of the super group, but also being favored by the Zhejiang team.
"Meizhou and Hong Kong are close, culturally closer. In contrast, Hangzhou and Hong Kong are farther away, but fortunately, they also belong to the south, and I am still quite well adapted. Liang Nuoheng said.
In the Zhejiang team, Liang Nuoheng felt the warmth of the big family, "My teammates all helped me and hoped that I would integrate into the team as soon as possible." Yao Junsheng and Wang Yang invited Liang Nuoheng to his home; Tan Yang and Dong Yu invited him to go shopping and eating together; when they went to Shanghai during the holidays, Gu Chao and Gao Di also fulfilled the "friendship of landlords".
After integrating into the team, Liang Nuoheng put all his energy into coping with the game, including various difficulties.
"The outside world is optimistic about the Zhejiang team rushing to the top, but I have played for so many years, from the moment of the Zhejiang team, I know that we have to achieve our wishes, we must overcome a lot of difficulties." Nothing in life is inevitable, only to strive for it with all its might. Liang Nuoheng said.
Therefore, when the Zhejiang team once fell into a trough in the middle of the season, Liang Nuoheng did not pay attention to the outside world; when the team won consecutive wins, Liang Nuoheng was not "killed".
"As a player, you have to control your mindset. I will not be affected by the outside world, no matter how much the outside world sounds, I will only do myself well in training and competition, and then run towards the goal with all my strength. Liang Nuoheng said.
In the last round of the Chinese League A last season, Hakka played Ping Kunshan in the second reading stage, pressing the Zhejiang team to directly rush overtake, and many teammates spilled tears on the stadium after the game. But Liang Nuoheng said that at that moment, he was very calm, "We were 9 points behind Hakka in the last 3 rounds, and what I thought was not to think about the opponent, if I could surpass Hakka directly, it would be earned; if not, we would play the play-offs well, and there was still a chance." So, when the Hakka scored in the last minute and pushed us towards the play-offs, I calmly accepted it all. Liang Nuoheng said.
Accepting the result, but for the play-offs, Liang Nuoheng came on with the determination to win, "I have a lot of confidence, and my determination is great, I feel that the whole team is like this." After we won 1-0 in the first leg, the whole team didn't celebrate in the dressing room, not for 1 second, because everyone knew it was just the 'first half' and the 'second half' to fight, and until the final whistle of the second leg, we had to give our all, and we were arguably the most prepared for the two-legged play-offs. Liang Nuoheng said.
This year, Liang Nuoheng will stand on the stage of the Chinese Super League for the first time, and he is happy to continue to work with Jody's team, "When I was playing in Hong Kong, there was a Spanish coach who brought me, and I knew the characteristics of Spanish coaches, and they were very good at grasping details. ”
For the first season of Zhejiang's return to the Chinese Super League, Liang Nuoheng believes that it is necessary to play steadily, "The club has played the glory of the AFC Champions League, but just like the joy of rushing over, it has become history." What we have to do is to prepare for the game steadily, our long-term plan can be to enter the AFC Champions League or win the championship, but in the new season, I think we should lay a good foundation first, step by step. ”
For the current situation of the reduction of league investment, Liang Nuoheng feels that there is no need to be too pessimistic, "Any league can not maintain high investment for a long time, there will always be ups and downs." I think as long as the football culture is made deeper, as I saw when I played football in the UK, children have dreams of playing football and are willing to pay for the realization of their dreams, football will become better. Liang Nuoheng said: "The Zhejiang team is very standardized, their youth training and football school are also doing a good job, in the face of the children in the base, I see the dream, I hope that China can have more 'Zhejiang FC', so that the future of Chinese football will be better." ”
