World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 201 Zeng Zheng's Choice
"What were you doing last night?"

Zeng Zheng moved his body a little bit.

He only remembered that he drank a lot of wine last night, promised a lot of things, and relieved a lot of burden in his heart.

Then, drink one cup after another, listening to others' nagging sentence after sentence.

"And then"

"And then rolled on the bed in a daze?"

Thinking of this, Zeng Zheng had a headache.

If you can't even remember the feeling, is it a loss or not?

Just as Zeng Zheng removed the arm that was finally pressing on his chest, Miss Qian in the bed turned over, still talking in her sleep.

"Haha~"

"When the time comes for your youth training, I'll sell you."

"You are inside, I am outside."

"We partnered to sell everyone in the Jianglong team abroad."

"They will be called back when the national team plays."

"Let's see who can beat us."

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng couldn't help smiling.

Ideal is good.

But how does it sound like human trafficking?

Lao Tzu is a coach, not a human trafficker!
To be honest, Zeng Zheng really couldn't handle this kind of occasion.

I don't know what the big girl will think then.

After thinking about it, Zeng Zheng hurriedly dressed, left a note, and quietly left the room.

The door of the room just closed.

Miss Qian's big eyes flickered on the bed.

He got up, moistened his throat with the warm water poured by Zeng Zheng, and then picked up the note left by Zeng Zheng.

"Miss Qian, don't worry, I will take care of everything!"

Seeing the end, the corners of Miss Qian's mouth finally couldn't help but curl up.

"Humph!"

"Responsible for what? Who wants you to be responsible?"

"Nothing happened to us!"

Dare to be a man.

If the words are spoken, Zeng Zheng will not go back on his word.

After returning to the office, Zeng Zheng immediately called Xu Fang and complied with the other party's request.

That is to say, from this moment on, Zeng Zheng will gradually over-extend the power of his Jianglong team until he becomes a "hands-off shopkeeper" who controls the club's general direction.

Now that he agrees to join the national team, Zeng Zheng naturally cannot miss the upcoming "Return Cup".

At noon that day, Zeng Zheng bought a ticket and flew to Macau temporarily.

One is to inspect the abilities of the national football players, and the other is to temporarily hide from Miss Qian to provide a buffer space for the relationship between the two.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zeng Zheng received a text message on his cell phone.

In this era when even mobile phones are not very popular, there are only a few people who can send text messages to Zeng Zheng.

Seeing the sender's name, Zeng Zheng's heart was pounding.

I left a note, isn't it a deserter?
"Let's go now?"——Miss Qian.

Zeng Zheng pondered for a moment, then typed out a line.

"I have something to do temporarily, and I am on a business trip. I will accompany you when I have time during the Chinese New Year." ——Zeng Zheng.

"Okay." ——Miss Qian.

Seeing the word "good" from the other party, Zeng Zheng's heart was completely put back in his stomach.

At this time in previous years, HK's Lunar New Year Cup is the commercial game that southern fans pay most attention to.

But this year is special.

Macau returns.

To celebrate, this year's "Return Cup" between the national team and the Macau team came into being.

This year, Ladd led the national team to have no competitions. Apart from the training camp, there were some coaching and commercial competitions.

Although the Macau team is a purely amateur team composed of police officers, bank staff and waiters;

However, due to the joining of world-renowned players and the guidance of the coach Ueda Eiji, the strength should not be underestimated.

Especially in the face of the impact of the "Golden Bomber" Klinsmann, the precise passing of the "one-handed" Baresi and Dunga who defended the "World's No. [-] midfielder" against the Chinese team's three fronts. All are severe tests.

Zeng Zheng's presence immediately attracted the attention of the media.

The media who smelled the smell swarmed over, asking Zeng Zheng like crazy if he would participate in the Asian Cup of the national football team next year.

Zeng Zheng neither affirmed nor denied this.

The two of Xu and Wang had already agreed on this matter, and Ladd is also a southern coach who understands China's national conditions very well.

He cordially invited Zeng Zheng to the sidelines and asked him if there was anything he wanted to know.

The key to a team is not how the coach deploys, but how the coach develops the players' abilities.

Facing this old man from southern China who dedicated most of his life to Chinese football, Zeng Zheng still respects him very much.

"Mr. Ladd, I am here mainly to see the defensive ability of the back line, the organizational ability of the midfielder and the attacking ability of the forward line."

"You also know that these players are 'appointed' by Zhuxie, and they may not be suitable for you and my coaching ideas."

"Through this game, I just want to take a look at the general situation and have a preliminary judgment on the abilities of the players."

Ladd nodded.

The head coach of the Chinese team did not choose human rights, and he still has experience.

However, he also knew that his head coach was only playing a transitional role, so he didn't delve into this aspect.

Now Zeng Zheng is here.

With Zeng Zheng's personality and reputation, he wouldn't be surprised if the national team would undergo a big change.

"In addition, although the two teams are not in the same class."

"But I also want to see if they are more suited to a parallel or a diamond stance."

Facing Ladd, Zeng Zheng didn't hide anything, and basically said what he had.

Ladd nodded after listening, turned around and began to direct the game.

After the opening, the national team had an absolute advantage on the field and completely controlled the situation on the field.

The Macau All-Star League, which is obviously too weak, has former superstars such as Klinsmann, Dunga and Baresi joining in, but it still cannot organize an effective offense.

Defensive most of the time.

In the opening 9 minutes, the international footballers took advantage of a corner kick and scored with a header from Su Maozhen.

At the 42nd point, Ma Mingyu made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and it was the golden-headed Lao Mao who leaned over and scored twice with a header.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team temporarily led 2-0.

There are goals, there are stars, and the fans in the stands are too addicted to their eyes.

You know, compatriots in Hong Kong and Macau also like football very much.

Every time there is a game of the Chinese team, there will be a Cantonese channel to broadcast it.

This return, they can justifiably support the national team.

"The Chinese team played pretty well!"

During the intermission, several international superstars chatted with each other in front of the photographers on the sidelines.

"The attack was quite fierce."

"It's also very targeted."

On the other hand, only a few key words were recorded in Zeng Zheng's notebook.

"The ball can't stop", "cooperate with the province", "more turnovers", "pass without purpose", "sloppy defense", "too many anti-aircraft guns" and so on.

Rad didn't understand though.

But Jin Zhiyang at the side was terrified.

Just this one page of Zeng Zheng has negated this national team from beginning to end!

Shortly after the start of the second half, Klinsmann, Baresi and Dunga who played as guest stars of the Macau Stars were replaced.

The Chinese team also replaced several substitute players in a row.

In the 69th minute, the golden-headed Lao Mao, who performed bravely in this game, received a pass from "Quick Horse" Xie Feng and scored with a header again, completing his personal hat-trick.

At the end of the game, a one-handed goal of the Macau team was resolved by Ou Chuliang.

In the 91st minute, Xie Feng once again broke through the Macau team's defensive bottom line and made a cross.

Li Bing ferried in the penalty area, and Su Maozhen knocked the goalkeeper of the Macau Star United goalkeeper with a header for the fourth time, locking the score at 4-0.

At the end of the game, there was a burst of applause.

Players from both sides came to the sidelines and bowed to the fans.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jin Zhiyang secretly came to Zeng Zheng's side and asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Zeng, what do you think of this national team?"

"Xie Feng is still very active."

Zeng Zheng put down his pen and said in a deep voice, "Three of our four balls are related to him."

"What about the others?" Jin Zhiyang asked unwillingly.

"As for the others, Ma Mingyu and Zhang Yanhua are also quite stable."

"What about Su Mao? He scored four goals!" Speaking of this, Jin Zhiyang couldn't help but add, "Didn't you look up to him during the World Cup?"

Zeng Zheng pushed his sunglasses and replied blankly: "All four of his goals are headers, it's too monotonous."

"And he scores every time, also because the national team's offense always piles up on the left."

"And I remember in the 58th minute, he had a chance against an empty goal and he kicked the ball on the woodwork."

"This kind of performance can be played in commercial games, but I don't know how much performance can be played in other national teams."

"And there are a few players whose style of play is not very good."

"The referee blew his whistle, and he was still playing with his temper."

"It's not about winning houses and land. Such players are hard to manage!"

Jin Zhiyang was really overwhelmed by Zeng Zheng's repeated remarks.

Look at the young man in front of you again.

Compared with two years ago, although Zeng Zheng still looked like a fool and denied his relatives.

But for some reason, Jin Zhiyang always had the same feeling as when he faced the leader when he was young.

After returning to the Cup, Zeng Zheng went to Shenzhen with the team to inspect a match between the national football team and the Yugoslav United.

It is said to be the Yugoslav United, but in fact none of the opponents is a Southland national footballer, and all of them are from the Southland Police Force.

I don't know if it's because he wants to give face to the other party, or he deliberately preserves his strength.

The final score of the game was 1-0.

The internationals only won one goal.

Although these two games were business friendly matches, Zeng Zheng was not without success.

After returning to Dalian, Zeng Zheng began to build a national team for the millennium.

And Zhu Xie is also drafting a contract, waiting for an auspicious day to make the relationship between the two parties public.

During this period, the Jianglong team ushered in a new capital injection.

Not only did the players collectively change to a brand new dormitory building, but even the Harbin Municipal Government was alarmed.

Because the Jianglong team actually wants to raise funds to build a football field that belongs to the Jianglong team!

In this regard, the Harbin Municipal Government is still somewhat reluctant.

After all, the income from the provincial stadium is very considerable.

However, the reasons put forward by the Jianglong team could not be rejected.

How can an A-A team set up their home court in an open-air stadium that can only accommodate 3000 people?

on a certain morning.

After a well-dressed young man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the city hall building, the attitude of the Harbin city government took a 180-degree turn in an instant.

Not only was a piece of land of about 13 square meters approved in Songbei District, but also a green light was given all the way, and various documents and prints were approved.

At the same time, the office of the Jianglong team has also been moved to a brand new office building.

And according to reliable sources, from the first team to the second team and then to the youth training of the Jianglong team, the relationship with all the players has been transferred to an "artist company" called "Super Star".

For a while, the Jianglong team, which had just finished the celebration meeting, was in panic, and even a lot of rumors about "Zeng Zheng selling the club and running away" spread.

However, as news of the transfer came one after another, the fans of the Jianglong team began to feel uneasy.

"Zheng Zhi 450W transferred to PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, and returned to the Jianglong team on loan for half a year?"

"Former Serie A champion Ibrahim Ba was loaned to the Jianglong team for a season?"

"Shangyi, Sun Zhi, Tao Wei and other former Jianlibao were bought by Tianjin, Chongqing and Guoan at a price of more than 300W?"

"South Korea's Olympic captain Shin Byung-ho is participating in the Jianglong team's physical examination?"

"National gate Ou Chuliang transferred to the Jianglong team with a worth of 496W and became the transfer bid king of A-A this year?"

"The Jianglong team is looking for former World Footballer of the Year George Weah?"

The news of the transfer made the fans of the Jianglong team extremely anxious.

Said that Zeng Zheng ran away with the money, why did the club buy so many stars?

Said that Zeng Zheng didn't run away, why so many Jianlibao generals chose to leave the team?

But no matter what, the Jianglong team must have a rich boss who wants to make the club bigger and stronger!

In fact, what the fans care about is not who the owner of the Jianglong team is;

What they really care about is whether Zeng Zheng will still be the head coach of the Jianglong team!

Of course, what outsiders don't know is that these player transfers were not made by the new club.

Most of them were planned by Zeng Zheng long ago, and the other part also belonged to the players' personal wishes.

The remaining part stems from Gao Hongbo's personal intention to build a team.

Combined, coupled with the development goals of the Jianglong team, this transfer came about.

During this year, the relationship between Gao Hongbo and the team members got along very well.

Zeng Zheng was relieved to hand over the team to Gao Hongbo.

The people sent by Ms. Qian are good at attracting investment and public relations for the team, and Zeng Zheng has to find those talents who are beneficial to the team and the game one by one.

The day before New Year's Day, Zeng Zheng was drafting a new batch of national football rosters at the Huayuankou Youth Training Base.

Since the Millennium has the Asian Cup and the Olympic Games to play, and the two games are very close to each other.

Who is in charge and who is in charge?

Or both?
In terms of strategic goals, we still have to rely on bamboo shoes to decide.

To this end, Zeng Zheng had to make at least three sets of plans and submit them, and indicate the reasons and reasons, and then let Zhu Xie make a decision.

This is not only a tedious job, but also a test to guess the "leader's mind".

This was the biggest headache for Zeng Zheng.

But even Xu Fang's mention of this matter doesn't count, so Zeng Zheng can only bite the bullet and think about it bit by bit.

Just when Zeng Zheng's head was about to smoke, the phone rang.

"Hey?"

"President Zeng? This is the front desk."

A pleasant female voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Zeng, Coach Qi has arrived and is in the reception room now."

Zeng Zheng said "hmm", hung up the phone, and stretched himself.

Zeng Zheng has never seen the former national team coach since taking over from Da Qi in 97.

This time, for the first time, the other party actually made an appointment to visit according to the procedure. Is there any reason why Zeng Zheng didn't see him?
What's more, during this period of time, Zeng Zheng wanted to find some football talents in China to fill the vacancy when he left the team. In this regard, he is really not as good as Qi Caisheng.

"Tsk tsk, Da Qi didn't expect to recommend himself to be the head coach of the Jianglong team after receiving some rumors, right?"

Thinking of this, Zeng Zheng shook his head violently.

"If he can really pull off this face, I really can't explain it to Lao Gao."
