Chapter 351 Domineering Response
Capital of China.

The Football Association meeting is being held, and the main topic of discussion is the upcoming Asian Cup.

In the last Asian Cup, the national football team was just a little short of the championship at home, and it also left a huge regret.

Many people want to make up for their regrets in Southeast Asia this time.

However, the head coach Zhu Guanghu is very cautious. After all, he is the leader of the team, and the pressure of performance is also on him.

"Director Zhu, your goal is to qualify for the group stage. This is a bit conservative."

Zhu Guanghu said with a smile: "Leaders, set the goal lower and put less pressure on the players, which is conducive to the game."

"Do you think this will work? The minimum goal is the top 4."

……

Someone said: "We have Tang Zhenglong now."

Tang Zhenglong...

In the past few days, there has been a lot of hype in the country. Yao Ming in the football circle, the savior of the national football team.

"That guy Tang Zhenglong dares to challenge Ali Daiyi, can't you be a little bit tougher?"

"Leaders, football is a collective sport. I admit that Tang Zhenglong is very strong, but one person cannot represent a team."

At this time, someone whispered, "It's better to ask Tang Zhenglong to be our coach."

……

Inadvertently, the audience burst into a pop.

"Be careful with your words and be serious."

Zhu Guanghu was very embarrassed.

"Well, let's make a decision like this. The goal of the national football team is to qualify for the group stage."

The Football Association's press release was sent out, and as expected, it caused an uproar.

The runner-up of the last Asian Cup, this time the goal turned out to be to qualify for the group, why don't you just set a group to be last.

Zhu Guanghu explained that this was to reduce the pressure on the players, but the media didn’t buy it at all. Everyone’s expectations were a shame, and you come to the group to qualify. It’s like a person’s expected monthly salary is 5000. The boss directly said, I’ll give you 500, why not?

Who can do this?

Yang Zhiyong of "Football Weekly" spoke fiercely, "A team with Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi, Dong Fangzhuo, and Tang Zhenglong just wants to qualify for the group stage. I can only say that the head coach is already shirking responsibility."

"The minimum goal of the national football team should be to enter the semi-finals, and the reasonable goal is to enter the final."

This time, even a neutral CCTV5 is rare to criticize the coach.

"Director Zhu must have confidence in the players. Our strength is by no means limited to qualifying for the group stage."

In the disappointment of the outside world, Zhu Guanghu himself was wronged. He knew the history of the national football team too well. Every time he set the goal high, the end result was that he slapped himself in the face. Instead, a few low-key experiences were better.

"Why can't these people understand my good intentions? Do I have to talk about it? Will I say no when it really comes true?"

******
CCTV headquarters.

Duan Xuan was called to the leadership office.

"Recently Director Zhu's remarks have caused a lot of dissatisfaction."

"The goal of qualifying for the group stage is too low."

"I understand Director Zhu. He is to decompress the players. This is a tactic, but we lost too much in the last game. The fans held their breath."

"Leader, are you afraid of affecting the ratings of the Asian Cup?"

The leader nodded.

"I thought of a way to remedy it."

"any solution?"

"Go to Germany and interview Tang Zhenglong."

A black line appeared on Duan Xuan's face.

"Is this okay? I know Tang Zhenglong very well. He offended the whole of Asia last time."

"I would rather offend the whole of Asia than offend the fans."

Now that the leader said so, what else can Duan Xuan say?
"Go, I'll take care of you if something goes wrong."

*****
On Monday night, "World Football" was broadcast as scheduled.

Many people turned on the TV and said, "Now I only watch European football. There is nothing to watch in China, even the ambition is gone."

A lot of people are emotional.

"Hi everyone, in today's program we will interview Tang Zhenglong, who plays in Cologne, and he will talk about his prospects for the upcoming Asian Cup."

"Looking forward? Isn't it the group qualifying?"

Many people felt that even Tang Zhenglong should be discouraged this time, since he qualified out of the group, everyone should do whatever they want.

Tang Zhenglong appeared in the camera.

Duan Xuan asked: "Zhenglong, what is your vision for the Asian Cup?"

"Is the national football team still mine?"

"Tell me about yourself first."

"Beyond Ali Daei and become the top scorer in Asian Cup history."

"Zhenglong, do you know what that means?"

There are 16 teams participating in the Asian Cup. Even if they reach the final, there will be a total of 6 games. Ali Daei's record is 8 goals, which means that Tang Zhenglong will score 6 goals in 9 games, averaging 1.5 goals per game.

How difficult is this?Anyone who has watched football knows that.

"Zhenglong, first of all, the national football team has to reach the final, and you have to score 1 to 2 goals per game before you can surpass Ali Daei."

"The current level of Asian football is completely different from 11 years ago. The defenders you face are not at the same level as the defenders Ali Daei faced."

Tang Zhenglong nodded, "I know this very well. If I travel to 1996, my goal is to score 9 goals in one game, not one game."

……

Duan Xuan was petrified, he knew that Tang Zhenglong had a big mouth, but the extent of the big mouth still exceeded his expectations.

The audience in front of the TV enjoyed watching, "I also know that Tang Zhenglong is bragging, but why does it sound good to me?"

Tang Zhenglong's bragging is very similar to Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic also likes to brag, but it is based on bragging. For example, if a person has an annual salary of 100 million, then bragging is reasonable. If your annual salary is 2, then shut up.

Both Tang Zhenglong and Ibrahimovic belong to the kind of people who are more talkative than reality, but not particularly outrageous, so they sound particularly cool.

"Zhenglong, this is your first Asian Cup. Shouldn't your goal be to become the top scorer of the national football team and surpass the top scorer?"

Tang Zhenglong shook his head, "That's not difficult, in fact, I don't think it is difficult to surpass Ali Daiyi."

……

Duan Xuan almost vomited blood.

"Zhenglong, you are a man with dreams."

"Then what do you think of the results of the national football team?"

"champion."

……

"The goal of Zhu's guidance is to qualify for the group stage."

"Nonsense, the prerequisite for winning the championship is qualifying for the group stage, so Director Zhu is right."

The audience in front of the TV was stunned, so Director Zhu meant this?
We misunderstood Director Zhu.

"Shao Rui (sorry)!"

"Zhenglong, who do you think is the biggest enemy on the way to the national football championship?"

Tang Zhenglong thought about it.

Duan Xuan estimated that Tang Zhenglong would say South Korea, Australia, or Iran.

Unexpectedly, Tang Zhenglong said: "I heard that the four host countries are very poor. I think our biggest enemy is the poor stadium lawn."

"Okay, Zhenglong, I will cut this part."

"why?"

"Because I don't want the national football team to be squeezed out in Southeast Asia."

Tang Zhenglong doesn't understand, can't he tell the truth?
