World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 109: Asian Youth Championship Opponent

On the sidelines of the court, Chen Jingang was shouting at a loud voice, directing the players to move and pass the ball.

After the World Cup, Zeng Zheng's "passionate" command was exaggerated by the media and directly became a teaching model for domestic coaches.

Nowadays, in any domestic game, if the coach does not stand on the sidelines and yell, he will definitely be judged as "not paying attention to the game" after the game.

Chen Jingang yelled from the sidelines, while Zeng Zheng was in the stands checking the players' information one by one.

...

Looking at the talents of these national youth players, Zeng Zheng was quite satisfied.

As long as the data can be displayed in the talent column, it has been proved that their upper limit is much higher than that of ordinary people.

With correct training and guidance, it is no problem to become an internationally renowned star after realizing your talent.

Just when Zeng Zheng was thinking about how to arrange these players and how to design the formation, Li Hui's questioning voice came from beside him.

"Xiao Zeng, what do you think of this National Youth Championship? Do we have a chance to compete in the National Youth Championship again?"

"It would be a bit doubtful if they play according to the current situation." Zeng Zheng did not hesitate to express his opinion directly.

"Is this still a bit suspenseful?"

Li Hui was shocked.

The score on the field is 0 to 2!

Tianrun is two goals behind at home!

"You really think that Liaoning Football Team can't beat them? After all, Liaoning Football Team will play in League A next year. If you get injured playing against them, whose fault is it?"

"And we all know that they are from the China Youth Team. Several of them are acquaintances. Can you please give me some permission?"

While talking, Liaozu won a penalty kick.

The foreign aid Haji who created the point personally made the hit, which tied the score to 1-2.

At this point in the game, it also ended with the referee's whistle.

Reporters on the sidelines were writing and drawing, and some even came around to interview Chen Jingang.

Facing the reporter's interview, Chen Jingang talked eloquently.

The smart reporter found Zeng Zheng in the stands.

"Hello, Coach Zeng, we meet again."

Zeng Zheng lowered his head and took advantage of the moment when his sunglasses fell to look up and see clearly who was coming.

It was Qin Xue, the female reporter I met on the plane that day.

"How did you know I was here?"

Zeng Zheng has not announced the fact that he has taken over the National Youth League, and he plans to give his opponents a "surprise" after the Asian Youth Championship starts.

"Of course it's all thanks to Coach Li!"

Qin Xue looked at Li Hui next to Zeng Zheng with a smile.

"Ah? Me? I didn't say anything!" Li Hui waved his hand quickly.

Revealing "military planes" to reporters before the game is a big deal, and you might lose your job!

"I saw Coach Li walking back and forth to the stands, so I came here to try my luck."

Qin Xue now opened her mouth to excuse Li Hui, "I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet you again, Coach Zeng."

Zeng Zheng and Li Hui looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

"You observe very carefully!"

"Of course! In our line of work, you need a sharp eye!"

As he spoke, Qin Xue squinted one eye, folded her hands in front of her eyes, and made a gesture of looking through a monocular telescope.

"I'm taking over the National Youth League, and I don't plan to announce it to the public just yet. How about asking Reporter Qin to show your respect and pretend you haven't seen me?"

"Then it depends on what information Coach Zeng can come up with to exchange with me!" Qin Xue blinked with a cunning look on her face.

"Okay, but let me tell you in advance that I can't talk about some confidential things about the National Youth League. After all, the game is about to start, and the opponents may have sent spies here!"

"I'm not a spy!" Qin Xue puffed up her chest and patted the press card on her chest, "I'm a real reporter!"

"Okay, okay, reporter Qin, what do you want to ask?"

Qin Xue rolled her eyes, "Coach Zeng, are you sure you want to be interviewed by me here?"

Looking at the reporters surrounding Chen Jinggang not far from the audience, Zeng Zheng also realized that something was wrong.

The longer you stay here, the easier it will be for these people to discover you.

We have to get out of here quickly!

"Coach Zeng, I happen to know a coffee shop. How about we chat over a drink?"

Zeng Zheng had no choice but to look at Li Hui who was standing aside.

Li Hui turned his head and pretended not to see anything.

"Okay! You're lucky. I agreed in advance that I must be back before six o'clock in the evening." Zeng Zheng stood up and walked out of the stadium on his own.

Qin Xue glanced at the time and immediately followed with a smile.

"Don't worry, Coach Zeng, two hours is enough!"

Seeing Zeng Zheng and Qin Xue leaving, Li Hui shook his head and sighed.

"Coach Zeng, you can come back at six o'clock tomorrow morning!"

...

After accepting an exclusive interview with the "miraculous coach" who broke the casserole and asked the truth, Zeng Zheng dragged his tired body back to the residence of the Chinese Youth Team.

"Coach Zeng, you are back."

Seeing Zeng Zheng really coming back with a bag of old-fashioned bread in his hand, several people in the room looked at Zeng Zheng with strange eyes.

"Have you all had dinner?"

Zeng Zheng said while taking a hard bite on the bread.

"If you have eaten, I won't share it with you."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I've eaten, I've eaten." Several people said quickly.

"By the way, is there any water? This bread is a bit dry and I'm choking. Ahem..."

"Yes, yes, I'll pour it for you right now." Li Hui said, picking up the thermos on the floor and pouring a glass of boiled water for Zeng Zheng.

"Huh~~~ I feel much better now." Zeng Zheng patted his chest.

Looking at the three people in front of him who were unwilling to leave, Zeng Zheng asked curiously: "Why, are you all waiting for me?"

The three of them nodded.

"What's going on?"

The three of them looked at each other, and it was Chen Jinggang who said, "Coach Zeng, I heard from Coach Li that we are a bit hung up on whether we want to qualify?"

"Ah, that's what I said."

"This...why is this? Is it because we are not strong enough? Or is there something wrong with us?"

After all, Chen Jingang has been leading this team for more than half a year.

During the qualifiers in August, they scored 13 goals against Singapore, Laos and Malaysia without conceding a single goal.

With such good results, Zeng Zheng just watched one game and said no, no matter what, he wanted to find a Chou Yin Mao.

Seeing that the three of them had made up their minds, just like Qin Xue, they wanted to break the casserole and ask the question. Zeng Zheng took another sip of water to moisten his throat.

"The three coaches sit down and talk."

"First of all, everyone knows our opponent in the group stage, right?"

Chen Jingang clasped his fingers.

"South Korea, Little Days, Qatar and Yinlak."

"What about the competition format and qualifying rules?"

"Five teams will compete in a single round-robin competition, and the top two teams in the group will advance." When asked about this, Chen Jingang knew everything he knew.

Zeng Zheng nodded, "Yes, if you want to qualify for the Youth Championship, you must at least qualify from the group."

"That is to say, in addition to Qatar and Yinlak, at least one of Japan and South Korea must be eliminated by us."

"Have you decided which team to eliminate?"

"Or do you think that apart from Japan and South Korea, the other two opponents are our real enemies?"

Seeing Zeng Zheng speaking from this angle, Chen Jingang touched the back of his head.

"I think there shouldn't be any problem if we win the game, right?"

Seeing Chen Jingang's embarrassing appearance, everyone in the room couldn't help but smile.

The reason why Li Hui and Zhao Junhua laughed was because they heard Chen Jingang talk about this before.

What he said at that time was that it didn't matter which of the two teams fought.

If you can't fight the one in front, fight the one in the back. Anyway, if there are two opponents, one of them will be killed.

As for Zeng Zhengxiao, he had guessed what Chen Jingang would say.

Since losing 0-1 to South Korea at the Bangkok Asian Games in 1978, the national team has never defeated an opponent in an international A-level event.

During the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the media that gradually gained control of the discourse spread the word "Korean fear" throughout the country.

think about it.

It has been 20 years from 1978 to 1998, and they have not defeated South Korea yet.

This has caused a whole generation of people to subconsciously feel weak when encountering South Korea.

This is true for the national team, let alone the youth team.

He said that young people should be energetic and have a fighting spirit.

However, under the long-standing "Korean-phobic" propaganda in the media, youth team coaches are also under great pressure before the game.

In the end, a kind of abnormal mentality developed, "We can't win anyway, and we won't be embarrassed if we lose."

It was not long before I became professional in my childhood.

This generation of players hasn't fully grown up yet.

Relying on the height advantage of "Asia's leading team", the national football team can still win some beautiful games with Xiaotian.

This is where the "dead cycle" of China defeating Japan, Japan defeating Korea, and Korea defeating China comes from.

In Zeng Zheng's previous life, this cycle of death was resolved after 2004.

So don’t look at Xiaoli’s strength increasing year by year.

But coaches and players of this era still have some psychological advantages when facing teams that are young.

But what they didn't know was that the youth team in their previous life had created Asian history and achieved results that shocked the whole world.

I want to defeat my opponents in the group stage with my passion.

It’s strange that Zeng Zheng can be optimistic about this kind of team that treats no plan as a plan!

"Oh? Since you want to give up Xiaoli, let Coach Chen tell you, what formation will the Xiaoli youth team play this time? Who is the core figure in the team?"

Chen Jingang was hesitating and he couldn't see the neatness he had shown when answering the competition format before.

"So who is the captain and the coach in my childhood? You should know this, right?"

"Well, I know that, their head coach is Qingyun Rongchun." Chen Jinggang replied immediately.

"Replacement!" Zeng Zheng shook his head.

"Replacement? When did it happen? In the news two days ago, Qingyun Rongchun even accepted an interview!" Chen Jingang looked surprised.

"The first two days were the first two days." Zeng Zheng took out his laptop and opened the browser skillfully.

"This is the website of Xiaotian. The latest news on it is that this coach named Troussier has become the coach of the national team of Xiaotian, and he will compete with the national team, the National Olympics and the National Youth Team."

"In other words, our opponent in a few days will be this Frenchman who just came off the World Cup!"

"Troussier? Why does this name sound so familiar?" Li Hui smacked his mouth so hard that his brain was on fire.

"Of course it sounds familiar! We played South Africa in the last game of the World Cup group stage, and he was the coach on the opposite side!"
