I don''t know why, such comforting words from the bottom of my heart made Wu Yong''s nose sour.


    Since childhood, no one has said this to him. He is always the favorite of the coach. He has been praising and making achievements all the time.


    As the bottom card of the long-distance race, he was released in this International Marathon as his first water test stop of this year''s IAAF.


    In order to make him no pressure, his coach specially chose the capital national marathon, which has relatively weak influence, as his first race.


    But what has he done now?


    He failed not only the coach who expected him, but also all the staff who put a lot of energy on him.


    Huh? Wait, there seems to be something wrong.


    Thinking of this, Wu Yong raised his head and asked Wang Lei, "is Gu Zheng a newcomer who has only participated in one game?"


    "And he was recruited from the outside. Then why would he not be affected in the process of the game and still play with me with ease?"


    Well, ha ha... The weather is fine.


    Wang Lei just wanted to make a ha ha and turned the topic off, but Lian Ping replied seriously: "Gu Zheng is different. He is an urban management. Who hasn''t seen him in the society?"


    "With our athletes'' careful thinking and small strategies, it''s difficult to get him?"


    Well said, it makes sense. Wu Yongxin.


    He nodded vigorously, shook his fist, looked at Gu Zheng''s far away back and swore: "from today on, I will also take Gu Zheng as the goal, learn from him, learn from his insidious cunning."


    "Strive to fully carry forward the style of our national team and run out of the characteristics of Chinese long-distance runners in the next competition."


    I always feel that I deviated, but on the whole, I still achieved the purpose of this training.


    The coaches who secretly observed on one side nodded to each other and quietly retreated.


    In every competition, these young players should taste it by themselves.


    In this way, they will grow stronger.


    Since the end of daily training on the first day, Gu Zheng felt that the long-distance runners of the national team had changed their eyes.


    Although we just met at the beginning, we were polite to each other.


    But there was always a little arrogance in that atmosphere.


    This is not to despise people. After all, he, who is not even an amateur athlete, will be questioned when he suddenly parachutes in front of this group of top players in the country.


    But now, it''s like a small circle of people who have opened their door and accommodated Gu Zheng.


    Just a few days ago, the day before finishing the intensive training project, when Gu Zheng was eating in the team, Wu Yong, who was pressed by him during training every day, took the initiative to sit next to him and said: brother Gu.


    Confirmed Gu Zheng''s leading position among all their athletes participating in the Capital International Marathon.


    It was Wu Yong''s performance that made the person in charge of the long-distance running project of the national and Municipal Sports Commission finally determine the main policy of this competition.


    "Let Gu Zheng be the captain of the contestant this time. Do you have any objection?"


    "No? That''s settled."


    For the first time, director tie was elated in front of relevant personnel of the State Sports Commission. Now he is waiting for this competition to make Chinese athletes achieve good results.


    ……


    It''s 7:30 a.m. BJ time. The early morning flag raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square has long ended.


    But this morning, there was no tranquility in the past. On the huge square, there was a sea of people, and there was no end at a glance.


    From more than 200 countries, people of different skin colors gathered together at this time, with a warm smile on their faces, enjoying a feast of extraordinary love for marathon.


    The organizers sent a lot of manpower and material resources at the starting point to maintain the most chaotic gathering time before the game.


    Ensure the safety of every contestant who comes to this competition.


    In such a noisy environment, Gu Zheng, a group of professional athletes, stayed quietly in the competition car, listening to director tie''s last pre competition mobilization.


    "Listen up, everyone. After the registration of this competition, according to the list I got."


    "Our biggest opponent this time is our brothers from Africa."


    "In every capital marathon, the organizers will invite contestants from several successful countries to participate."


    "Ethiopia and Kenya are all big winners. Since 2009, the top runner up, the second runner up and the third runner up have only been produced in these two countries."


    "Why did you invite this group of people to an event held in China?"


    "There''s no way. If we want to reach the level of gold medal in the IAAF, we must be satisfied that the results of at least 20 players reach the score of 2:10:00 marked by the IAAF."


    "Or the world''s top 20 runners in the marathon."


    "These two provisions have become indispensable now."


    "The prize money of our competition is getting richer and richer. Those professional players who live on the prize money are naturally willing to participate in our competition under less competitive pressure than London and New York."


    "So, remember, our goal this time is to ensure the first place in the Chinese men''s project and strive to get the top five results in the men''s group competition."


    "If you still have spare power, try to compete for the top three."


    "As for you, Wu Yong, you are only 17 years old this year. According to the regulations, the age of the whole marathon can''t be less than 20 years old. Therefore, in the half marathon, it''s all up to you."


    "And everyone knows our pre game strategy?"


    "I know!"


    "OK! Then I don''t have much nonsense. Let''s get off and do a warm-up before the game. Go to the front starting position arranged by the organizing committee early. Wait."


    "Good director!"


    Hua La, a group of four people, under the leadership of director tie, got out of the car.


    While turning his hands and feet, he slowly walked towards the direction of the professional team.


    Now the people in the square have reached the peak of the whole marathon.


    Although it is said that the regulation of this competition is to wear the sportswear uniformly distributed by the competition organizing committee.


    But the citizens who just regard it as a joy are unwilling to abide by it, and their professional athletes refuse to wear it because they dislike that the competition clothes are not up to grade.


    All of a sudden, the scene of the game really became a sea of strange clothes.


    In such a loose environment, more people regard the competition as a grand happy parade. In the process of the competition, they enjoy life and carnival with new friends.


    Therefore, when Gu Zheng walked among the crowd, he saw all kinds of strange clothes.


    What is a freak dressed like a turkey with feathers, what is a confident warrior with bare upper body and only a number card on his chest.


    There are also several foreigners, pushing a two person stroller. Sitting between the two fights is the baby of his only one-year-old twins.


    If these are some personality people, the young man standing next to Gu Zheng at this time can''t help glancing at him.


    The young man, who doesn''t look very old, just pasted a very reserved competition sign on the two beans in front of his chest, but he pasted his telephone number all over his body in other parts of his body.


    His thin cross position is also pasted with a big sign: marriage seeking.


    Such eye-catching behavior did not provoke any pink peach blossoms for him, but formed a vacuum for female contestants around him.


    There are not no people attracted. This is not true. There are two men with leg hair with orchid fingers raised and wearing long silk stockings in their sneakers. They are rubbing in the direction of the young man.


    Seeing this, Gu Zheng couldn''t help shivering. He looked at each other silently with his teammates. Just behind the man, he made a small circle and didn''t intend to pass in front of him.


    When Gu Zheng broke through the blockade and came to the front of the team, the pressure of the crowd around them suddenly decreased.


    In this region, all are official contestants selected from various countries.


    Some people come to participate in the world competition to meet the requirements of the specified number of competitions, while others come for the prize money issued by the competition party.


    Therefore, the atmosphere in this area suddenly changed.


    Let Gu Zheng and his party who came here later really feel the formal stadium atmosphere. What is it like.


    Fortunately, when these first arrived players saw the familiar red and yellow uniforms, they knew that they were the local players sent by the organizer.


    Because of the racial gap in men''s middle and long-distance running, these brother countries from Africa did not take Gu Zheng as a matter at all.


    The competition within their countries is fierce enough, and others basically come to accompany them.


    Gu Zheng doesn''t have much impression on this, but Wu Yong''s heart is full of breath.


    In order not to affect the stability and unity between countries before the competition, Gu Zheng, as the captain, did not hesitate to kick him into the middle of the half marathon stage players.


    Let''s go, son. Let''s vent your depression and let them see who is the strongest king.


    Gu Zheng felt ashamed of the two of them, but he knew from the notification of the organizing committee''s loud speaker that the marathon that started on time at eight o''clock had reached the countdown stage.
