Zeng Cheng: National team, go with the flow

Zeng Cheng, who was knocked down by injuries again and again, stood up again and again.

At least half of Mr. Zeng's injuries were inflicted while representing the national team, and even when he was playing in the East Asian Cup in 2013, if the kick that South Korean player Seo Dong-hyun kicked on his neck was a little heavier, or a little higher, he might have been injured more than just with hemostatic stickers.

Even so, Zeng Cheng's idea of serving the country has never changed, in his own words, that is, "serving the country has always been a proud honor for me."

Without that injury in May, Zeng Cheng would not have missed the Round of 40 and the now ongoing Round of 12. — In the eyes of insiders, as a veteran with rich experience in international competitions, if Zeng Cheng can stand in the round of 12, he should be able to bring more help to the national football team, especially in the face of strong teams such as Australia, Saudi Arabia and Japan, his rich experience and stability in the game can play a huge role, just as he is now doing in shanghai Shenhua team.

After the first four games of the first round of the round of 12, the Chinese team was temporarily ranked fifth in the group with 1 win and 3 losses, and there was a gap of 6 points and 3 points from the second-ranked Australian team and the third-place Oman team, respectively, and still maintained the hope of qualifying. Perhaps it is not satisfied with the current defensive performance of this national football team, after the national football team returned to China from Saudi Arabia, the fans spontaneously made "adjustments" to the national football team training list on the Internet, and Zeng Cheng was the one with the highest recommended "heat", and even reported that "Zeng Cheng and Zheng Zheng of Shandong Taishan team have been called up by the national team and went to Suzhou to meet the whole team", although it was proved to be a "fake news" afterwards, but it is not difficult to see that the outside world is indeed very recognized for Zeng Cheng's ability and performance.

For whether he can wear the robe of the Chinese men's national football team again in the future and launch another impact on the World Cup dream in his heart when he was a child, Zeng Cheng used the four words "let nature take its course" when chatting with friends. According to the analysis of people in the media, if the Shenhua goalkeeper can continue such a "highlight" performance in the FA Cup and the league, it is not ruled out that the national football coach Li Tie will be called into the team, after all, he was originally in Li Tie's big list, and re-selection is also a matter of course.

However, for Zeng Cheng, the most important task at the moment is to make every effort to play the next two FA Cup "Shanghai Derbys" with Shanghai Harbor, strive to stand on the stage of the FA Cup final, and then fulfill the promise he and Feng Xiaoting said when they joined Shenhua more than a year ago to "work towards the championship".
