World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 242

"Xiao Zeng, everything depends on you."

"Okay, I see, Uncle Wang, you should rest early. Isn't it just the Asian Cup? Take it easy!"

"Hey! With your words, I'm relieved. Then I'll go back to bed first, and you should go to bed early, so don't be too busy."

"Oh, I see."

After sending Wang Junsheng away, the more Zeng Zheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

What the hell!

Is this old bastard framing me?

You and Xu Fang were also members of the Hongshankou meeting at any rate.

Now it is a matter of course to become a positive and negative bamboo mat for bamboo shoes.

Do you two have any skills in bamboo shoes?
I still need to work hard outside to get my grades and come back to save the battle.

Is it too much?

At the same time, Wang Junsheng, who was humming a little tune, also took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Fang's number.

"Hello, old Xu?"

"Say it, tell him everything."

"What's the reaction?"

"Hey, you didn't see that."

"The kid agreed without blinking his eyes."

"Not a word of bargaining."

"Tsk tsk, you still know him."

"If you don't force him, I really don't know where the limit of that kid is."

"Well, no problem, don't worry."

"I'll leave it to you in the league. I can rest assured that anyone who dares to mess around in this area will be dealt with severely by me."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of what happens."

"They are not afraid of me, and they are not afraid of the failure of the judiciary?"

"As long as there is definite evidence, no one dares to act rashly."

"Don't worry about the national team, leave it to me for now."

"After the Asian Cup is over, I will send a trustworthy person to take charge of this."

"If this Asian Cup is held well, hehehe"

"The next Asian Cup, those people will have to beg us instead!"

"As for the Chinese Super League, there is no rush."

"Since Xiao Zeng agrees, it means the direction is right."

"When we have a chance, let's go find his little girlfriend and ask her to go to Europe to learn Buddhist scriptures and see what he does."

"Anyway, he's quite right in what he said."

"The Super League is the Super League, and A-A is A-A. There must be no change. If it's the same as before, it's better not to play this thing!"

The next day, Zeng Zheng got up early.

After the meal, the team members were called together and an impromptu meeting was held.

"As for the race schedule, everyone knows it too."

"Tomorrow we will play stick first, then Indonesia in the second game, and Kuwait in the last game of the group."

"In terms of strength, Bangzi is the strongest, followed by Kuwait, and Indonesia is the weakest."

"That is to say, as long as we win tomorrow's game, we will basically have no problem qualifying for the group stage."

There are a total of 12 teams in the Asian Cup finals this time, four teams are divided into three groups, and the top eight are selected through a single round-robin group match.

In other words, as long as you win the next game in the group stage, you may qualify for the third place in the group.

"But if we qualify third in the group, do you think it's appropriate?"

"Inappropriate!!!" Li Weifeng shouted immediately.

"Since it is not appropriate for the group to qualify third, what about the group qualifying second?" Zeng Zheng asked again.

"It's not appropriate either!!!" Without waiting for others to say anything, the crazy Li Datou yelled again.

Looking at Li Weifeng who was extremely lively, Zeng Zheng raised his eyebrows, "According to Weifeng's meaning, how should we qualify in the group?"

"First, group first!!!" Li Weifeng replied without hesitation.

Speaking of this, everyone still felt that it was nothing.

But what followed Zeng Zheng's questioning made everyone present feel that something was wrong.

"Okay, since it's the first place in the group, can any of you tell me how many points you can get to ensure the first place in the group?"

How many points can be scored to ensure the first place in the group?

Everyone froze for a moment.

There were even a few who hadn't figured it out, and lowered their heads and snapped their fingers.

At this moment, Li Weifeng stood up again and stretched out three fingers.

"Score 9 points! Win all three games, score 9 points, and you will be able to ensure the first place in the group!"

Yes, 9 points!
Even with 7 points, there is still time to get second.

Only 9 points can ensure the first place in the group.

Hearing this, many old international players present looked up at Li Weifeng.

After seeing his excited expression, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Oh? Weifeng wants to score 9 points? Tsk tsk tsk, you really have great ambitions!"

Zeng Zheng applauded, "Speaking of which, Weifeng was born in 78, right? 22, 23 this year?"

"No matter how much, he is considered young in the national team."

"Even Weifeng has such an ambition, what about the rest of you?"

As Zeng Zheng's voice rose, Ou Chuliang, Ma Mingyu, Zhang Yanhua and others also knew that it was time to express their views.

They also quickly raised their hands and loudly agreed: "Win three games, win three games, win three games!!!"

Several old international players took the lead, and the other stunned youths also jumped up and shouted.

“Okay~~~”

"receive!"

With Zeng Zheng shaking his hands, the team members stopped immediately.

Seeing a group of blushing and thick-necked boys staring at him with wide eyes, Zeng Zheng nodded secretly.

"Since you want to win three group games, then show me the spirit of 120 points."

"Mou is full of energy, fuck him."

"Isn't it kicking the stick tomorrow?"

"Let's take the stick first!"

"Yang Chen, Qu Shengqing, you two, one middle and one outside, one tall and one tall, hit me hard in front! Shoot as much as you can, hit as much as you can, just kick in the door, can you do it? "

At this time, Zeng Zheng's face was ferocious, just like Li Yunlong on the battlefield.

Seen by Zeng Zheng's howl, Qu and Yang were so frightened that they immediately stood up and gave a military salute. "Report to the head of the group, and ensure that the task is completed!"

"Ma Mingyu, Shensi, the mission of the two of you is to deliver shells to Yang Qu and the others."

"If the two of them can't catch up, you two can open fire directly!"

"Shh!"

As he spoke, Zeng Zheng drew a large circle on the blackboard, including the entire restricted area.

"As long as you reach this range, I don't care if you take a free kick or pass directly. Anyway, my requirement is to form a shot within 5 feet."

"You two front midfielders can count by themselves."

"If you exceed the number of times, you may not be able to run."

"Look!" Zeng Zheng said, pointing to the youngest Zheng Zhi and Shao Jiayi, "There are still 20-year-olds!"

Forced by the atmosphere in the room, Shensi and Ma Mingyu both stood up quickly and nodded yes.

After sitting down, Qi Hong on the side beat her friend Shensi with her arm.

"Old Shen, you have to work hard. If you are replaced by those two 20-year-old guys in the first game, I will definitely laugh at you."

Shensi looked disdainful, "What's the joke? What's so funny? The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and one generation is stronger than the other."

"Old Qi, I didn't mean you."

"Don't both of them go up, you haven't gone up yet!"

Hearing this, Qi Hong snapped his mouth shut instantly, unable to make a sound.

"As for Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng, you two don't just stand behind and watch." Zeng Zheng continued to direct.

"Li Tie can't cope, so pass the ball more, run more, and grab more."

"Li Xiaopeng, you have to run for me too, and I won't even mention you when you run to the opposite penalty area."

"But there is one thing. When defending, you must return to my position as soon as possible."

"You must be seen in the camera within three seconds, remember?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaopeng raised his hand obediently.

"What? What are you going to say?"

Speaking Shandong dialect, Li Xiaopeng asked tremblingly: "Zeng, Coach Zeng."

"I, I want to ask a question."

"This, this, I run as much as Li Tie, do you think so?"

"No way!" Zeng Zheng slapped the table, knocking Li Xiaopeng down on his chair.

"You must participate in the attack!"

"Let me also tell you, if there is no accident in the first place, I will basically not change the defenders."

"You have to run for me if you can run, and you have to run for me if you can't run, do you understand?"

"Listen, I understand!"

After answering and sitting down, Li Xiaopeng muttered to himself: "When did I become so important to Coach Zeng?"

"If it's so important, why don't you take me to the Olympics?"

After the midfielders were arranged, the eyes of the defenders were all wide open again.

In this Asian Cup, Zeng Zheng deliberately released Sun Jihai and General Fan.

The absence of these two people immediately vacated two starting positions.

"Central defenders, Li Weifeng and Zhang Yanhua." Zeng Zheng pronounced the names first.

"Left back, Wu Chengying; right back, Shu Chang."

"Four defenders." Zeng Zheng said this, and stretched out four fingers, "From the starting lineup, we have one more defender than Bangzi."

"And there are only two strikers on the opposite side."

"It's a waste of resources."

"Except for Zhang Yanhua's defense, the remaining three have offensive missions."

Hearing this, the eyes of the three people who were named immediately lit up.

"The three of you give me a good idea. Tomorrow, we will be typing 'transfer or not'."

"What does that mean, after you two full-backs step in, you can receive the transfer ball from your teammates."

"But don't go down blind."

"Cooperate with teammates to play in the middle."

"And once the two fullbacks cut inside, Shensi and Ma Mingyu, you two should pay attention to filling the gap exposed behind them."

"Doesn't Bangzi like to play 352?"

"Don't you like to pile up people in the middle?"

"Let's pile up against him!"

"The more people pile up in the middle, the more people will be squeezed out."

Speaking of this, Zeng Zheng glanced at Qu Shengqing and Yang Chen again.

"You two have taken care of me too!"

As he spoke, Zeng Zheng drew two arrows on the blackboard.

"The midfielders squeeze forward, the full-backs squeeze forward, and you two are the ones who get squeezed out."

"Qu Shengqing, aren't you known as the most flexible fat man in A?"

"I'll see how flexible you are tomorrow."

"If you can't run out of neutral, I'm asking you!"

Qu Shengqing, who was named again, immediately straightened his back and answered "yes".

After the ultimatum issued by Zeng Zheng before, Qu Shengqing learned from the pain in the past few months, kept exercising, and finally increased his body fat percentage.

Although Qu Shengqing still has a chubby baby face now, he is no longer the fat man with his abdominal muscles covered by fat.

"Finally, as for the goalkeeper?"

Zeng Zheng swept over the three goalkeepers one by one.

"Ou Chuliang, for the first shift, you, the most experienced national, will be there."

"Don't forget to protect the space behind Zhang Yanhua when he attacks."

Ou Chuliang, who was the oldest, nodded, "Don't worry, Coach Zeng, I know what to do."

"By the way, you should also wear the captain's armband."

"Help me shout more on the field, don't let those boys always stand."

Ou Chuliang: "No problem."

The captain's armband was always worn by General Fan, but now that General Fan is not in the formation, no one objected to wearing it on Ou Chuliang's arm.

Those in the know also know that Ou Chuliang, in addition to being goalkeeper for the club and the national team, will also serve as Zeng Zheng's goalkeeper coach at special moments in recent years, and he also intends to develop into a coach after retiring.

In other words, Ou Chuliang can be regarded as half of Zeng Zheng's teaching assistant.

With him on the court, Zeng Zheng can better help coordinate the team.

After arranging the start, Zeng Zheng said again: "There are still some unpleasant rumors outside."

"Such as Korean-phobia or something, a large group of SB media brought it up every time I kicked with Bangzi."

"I don't even bother to scold them."

"It's nonsense to say that the National Youth is not enough, the National Olympics is not enough, and the friendly matches are not considered Barabara."

"This time, let's let them take a look at how we play them in such a main game as the Asian Cup!"

"Anyway, from my debut to the present, Zeng Zheng has never lost to Bangzi."

"Many of you here have been with me for a long time, and my record is also your record."

"I don't think you plan to be defeated in this game, are you?"

"I said it all a few months ago."

"As long as Xu Dingmao is still used for the stick, and Xu Dingmao is still used as the back three, I can beat the shit out of him."

"But Bangzi doesn't seem to give up, and wants to use the Asian Cup to compete with us."

"Then let's compete!"

"I've made up my mind this time, let Xu Dingmao finish class halfway!"

"Did you hear?"

"You just do what I said, beat me to death, and it's over!"

"Don't show mercy."

"In our own territory, are you still afraid of him?"

"Hornophobia???"

"Hum hum"

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to make them suffer from nenophobia!!!"

On the afternoon of October 10th, Chengdu Maojiawan Stadium.

The opening game of the Asian Cup, the first round of the Group A group stage, the host China VS South Korea.

"The host is a double-edged sword."

"Used well, it can greatly help the game."

"But once the situation is at a disadvantage, the pressure on the coaches and players is huge."

Wearing a microphone, Huang Jianxiang, who just came back from the Olympic Games, talked eloquently.

After witnessing the Olympic bronze medal with his own eyes, Huang Jianxiang's perception of Asian teams has undergone earth-shaking changes.

If it is said that when participating in the World Cup in 98, the Chinese team was still struggling between the second-tier and first-tier teams in Asia.

But after two years of precipitation, Huang Jianxiang can already say with certainty: the Chinese team is the best in Asia!
This is the confidence brought to the team by frequent participation in major competitions and the results obtained!

"Hornophobia has been talked about for 20 years."

"But since Coach Zeng led the team, whether it is the National Youth League, the National Olympics or the National Football Team, Coach Zeng has always maintained an unbeaten record in every game."

"Today's Asian Cup group match is the first time that Coach Zeng has faced South Korea in a cup match since he became the head coach of the national team."

"Will the Chinese team completely stop 'Korean fear' today? This is also the hottest topic among audience friends before the match."

"But no matter what the result of the game is, judging from the current grouping situation of the Chinese team, as long as this game does not lose to the opponent, the Chinese team has a great chance of qualifying."

"In this game, Coach Zeng once again arranged a 442 formation."

"It is worth mentioning that the overseas international players such as General Fan, Sun Jihai, Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu all returned to their respective clubs after the Olympics."

"It seems that Coach Zeng is very confident about this Asian Cup."

"Okay, with a whistle, the game officially begins."
