Chapter 1017 Group Three
PS: The new book "The Burning Blood of the Greenery" has been uploaded. If you like it, can you bookmark it first? Anyway, the assassin writes a book and must finish it.

Thanks a lot.

The 2026 World Cup will be the first to be played by 48 teams.

In other words, getting third in the group is also possible to qualify for the group.

The Chinese team lost 0 to 3 to the Netherlands in the first match.

In the second round, Senegal, which drew Africa 1-1, is now in the third round, and it is also the weakest opponent in the group - Costa Rica.

Although the group is the weakest, its strength on paper is definitely higher than that of the Chinese team.

As long as the Chinese team beats Costa Rica, it is still very likely to get third in the group and advance to the knockout round.

This kind of competition, as long as you advance, then everything is possible. Just look at Portugal in the 2016 European Cup. The group stage stumbled, and finally won the third place in the group. Unexpectedly, the knockout round was full of firepower and won the championship with a counterattack. Ronaldo also realized the dream of the European Cup.

Tang Zhenglong stood on the sidelines.

Costa Rica has never played before, but the Chinese team's first World Cup opponent is Costa Rica, which can be regarded as fate.

The goalkeeper of Costa Rica is still the old goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

Before the start of the game, Tang Zhenglong took the initiative to hug Navas, both of whom were former teammates of Real Madrid.

After the game started, Costa Rica played against the Chinese team.

Costa Rica's football style has been the same for decades, that is, fast and aggressive.

After the Chinese team blocked several waves of attacks from Costa Rica, they began to slowly counterattack with the ball.

Wu Lei is also the only martial arts king in the Chinese team who can hold the ball.

Wu Lei took the ball on the front line, and when his teammates were running, Wu Lei suddenly smashed the ball and prepared to break through by himself.

Costa Rica was flickered like this, and Wu Lei passed by.

Breaking through to the bottom line, Wu Lei made a cross and Zhang Yuning completed the shot.

The ball was missed, and Tang Zhenglong was applauding.

"good!!"

The sporadic counterattacks of the Chinese team made Costa Rica dare not attack with all its strength. They began to slowly discover that the Chinese team has the ability to counterattack.

Soon, the Costa Rica midfielder sent a penetrating pass, the ball went over the midfield and went directly to the forward line.

The defender of the Chinese team looked at the linesman.

Onside.

The Costa Rican forward can already shoot.

Push and shoot.

The ball rolled for some distance and brushed the goalpost out of the baseline.

The audience exclaimed.

Costa Rica attacked for 20 minutes and did not open the goal of the Chinese team. They began to stabilize the midfield.

Because if it is counted as a small score, Costa Rica will have a tie, because they and Senegal are tied 2 to 2, so it is said that they scored more goals than the Chinese team.

In the second half, Costa Rica stopped attacking at all, and they prepared to counterattack the Chinese team.

The Chinese team could only bite the bullet and attack, and was forced to the edge of the cliff again.

Costa Rica's several counterattacks were like sharp knives, and Tang Zhenglong felt pain in his heart. As long as the opponent scored a goal, the Chinese team would be finished.

Fortunately, at 75 minutes into the game, the score was still 0-0.

At this time Tang Zhenglong began to change his formation.

Stretch out three fingers on the left hand and three fingers on the right hand, this is about to change into 433.

This style of play is desperate, and the already poor midfield defense is completely unnecessary.

The Chinese team attacked desperately, and was quickly counterattacked several times by Costa Rica.

At this time, everyone looked at Tang Zhenglong.

Boss, is it still changing?

Tang Zhenglong's expression was firm and uncompromising.

The Chinese team continued to attack.

90 minutes up, stoppage time.

Still 0 to 0.

Costa Rica has already celebrated in advance, and they may advance to the knockout round in third place in the group.

At this time, the ball reached the goalkeeper's feet, and Zeng Cheng hung his big foot into the opponent's penalty area.

The first point, Zhang Yuning grabbed it, and the ball flew into the penalty area.

At this time, Navas made the biggest mistake of his life, and he attacked.

Perhaps wanting to end everything earlier, Navas decided to hug the ball, but the ball was a bit far from the goal.

Halfway through the attack, Navas realized that the ball should not be shot, and the Chinese team was competing with the Costa Rican players for the top.

The Chinese team's defender Gao Zhunyi is fighting for the top. He understands that the opponent is an empty goal, and as long as he tops it, he may score.

top!
The Micro Motion wing hit the ball.

When it fell, Micro Motion kept looking at the goal.

The ball flew to the goal, and when Navas returned, he could only catch the ball from the goal.

GOOOOOOOOOAL! ! !

Tang Zhenglong rushed to Micro Motion, and the two hugged each other.

"we won."

Costa Rica knelt down.

Navas lowered his head, this ball was his mistake.

competition is over.

The Chinese team advanced.

Navas cried into tears, Tang Zhenglong came to comfort him.

This is football, and it also has a warm side.

The Chinese team did not celebrate, but comforted Costa Rica.

Tang Zhenglong comforted the Costa Rican players one by one. They were eliminated, but those who can enter the World Cup are heroes.

The Chinese team's opponent in the knockout round is the mighty Brazil team.

At this time, the Brazilian team is very strong.

The probability of the Chinese team eliminating the Brazilian team may be about the same as winning 500 million in the lottery.

However, Tang Zhenglong still said that the team is not here to lose.

In this game, the Chinese team persisted until 60 minutes before being scored by Jesus. Then the Brazilian team scored another goal and defeated the Chinese team 2-0.

After the game, the Chinese players cried into tears, and this time it was the Brazilian team's turn to comfort the Chinese players.

The World Cup is over, and the result is not bad. The Chinese team advanced to the knockout round, but fell in the first round of the knockout round.

After the game, Tang Zhenglong was in tears. Whether it was as a player or as a head coach, Tang Zhenglong failed to reach the second round of the knockout round.

The World Cup is too difficult. The best teams in the world are gathered here. It is very difficult to qualify for the group stage.

"Bless the Chinese team, I hope the Chinese team can go further next time."

*******
Madrid.

The grand signing ceremony was held at the Real Madrid headquarters.

Tang Zhenglong and Florentino attended together.

In fact, this is just a formality, and the real contract has already been agreed.

Real Madrid's contract with Tang Zhenglong is very harsh, he must reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, otherwise Real Madrid can unilaterally terminate the contract without paying any liquidated damages.

Tang Zhenglong signed, and the flash below clicked, enough to blind everyone's eyes.

"Don, are you going to be the next Zidane?"

"..."

"I am who I am and I don't want to be anyone."

"Don, will Florentino be stricter with you? You are from the Florentino family."

The reporters snickered.

"I don't think he will interfere with the club, I am the boss at Real Madrid."

"Is there anyone who most wants to buy, or who most wants to sell?"

"The favorite is Bayern's left-back Alphonso Davies."

"Most wanted to sell?"

"Not yet."

"Will you consider coaching a national team in the future?"

Tang Zhenglong thought about it.

"If there is a chance to play in the World Cup, I will consider it, because that feeling is so fucking wonderful."

The reporter was shocked.

"Did Tang Zhenglong swear just now?"

Tang Zhenglong's career in Real Madrid started with a swearing.
