World Cup of Great Powers

Fortunately, Chen Jingang and the others did not despise their opponents as soon as they heard that South Africa was defeated by the Chinese team, nor did they become blindly confident just because Zeng Zheng had a lucky win over Troussier.

After learning that a world-famous coach had been replaced in Xiaoli to lead the team, Chen Jingang couldn't help but beat his chest.

"Fortunately, we invited Coach Zeng here in time."

“Otherwise, I don’t even know how I would lose!”

Xiaotian has always been a pragmatic team.

This time the Asian Youth Championship and the National Youth Group were very unfavorable, and Zeng Zheng had to be extremely careful.

Unlike Jianlibao, Guoqing has full tacit understanding and BUFF.

With the tacit understanding between the players, even strong teams like France and Argentina can defeat them.

In order to improve the tacit understanding with the China Youth Team as soon as possible, Zeng Zheng started "military training" from the first day he took over the team.

Although the team members regard Zeng Zheng as their idol, they have long heard of Zeng Zheng's harshness.

But when I got up the next morning, I was still shocked.

At 7:30, the team members who had just woken up came to the training ground bleary-eyed. Zeng Zheng, who had been waiting at the ground, immediately divided them into three groups for quick passing practice.

Not even warm-up activities were arranged.

"My God, I didn't even get up so early to start training when I was in Beijing!" Xu Yunlong complained.

"How can I compare with you, the prince at the foot of the imperial city! What does 7:30 mean? In Brazil, we all get up at 6:30!" Xianyi stiffened his neck and sneered.

But the constant yawning revealed his true heart.

"Xiao Zeng, is it too hard to train so early? They are just a group of children..." Li Hui couldn't help but say.

"Children? Compared with the national team, they are just children?" Zeng Zheng laughed, "Then when I compare with you, am I also a child?"

The coaching world will not ignore you because you are young, and the coaching world will not let you down on the court because you are smileier than me.

Zeng Zheng choked on his words and Li Hui almost turned over.

"Alas, Xiao Zeng, your character is still... Alas, I can't speak to you!" Li Hui shook his head and left.

Seeing that the assistant coach's persuasion was of no use, the team members had no choice but to toughen their hearts and start practicing.

Zeng Zheng stood on the sidelines with his arms folded.

Although there was no change in his expression, he was still very satisfied mentally.

At least these team members are mentally prepared and motivated.

Under this kind of military management, the tacit understanding between the team members and themselves is also increasing.

"Hello, fans and friends."

"Behind me is the training base of the Chinese Youth Team."

"Three days ago, coach Zeng Zhengzeng, who had been in charge of the national team, took over the leadership of the team to prepare for this Asian Youth Championship."

"So far, the Chinese Youth Team is conducting military camp-style training called "24-hour management."

"Coach Zeng's schedule for the Chinese youth team is to get up at 7 a.m. and go to bed at 10:30 p.m."

"Practice three times a day, eat together, and leave the restaurant together after the meal."

"Not only that, the Chinese youth team, from coaches to players, is prohibited from contacting the outside world."

"On the first day, Coach Zeng gave reporters half a day of interview time. From the second day on, he refused interviews directly."

"According to Coach Zeng, players must always follow instructions and must be in good condition at all times."

"After training, you are not allowed to voluntarily practice more. If you get injured due to extra practice, you will be sent back to your original club immediately."

"In this training camp, Coach Zeng demonstrated his extremely tough iron-fist rule."

"I hope this Asian Youth Championship will have good results."

"The above news is reported for you by "Southern New Youth"."

"I am the host Qin Xue, see you next time!"

Watching the reports on TV, the fans were talking a lot.

"It turns out that Coach Zeng went to lead the youth team. Isn't this an overestimation of talent?"

"Hey, what do you know? This is called starting from a baby! I think Coach Zeng did the right thing!"

"Where did we finish in the last Asian Youth Championship? With coach Zeng taking the lead in this Asian Youth Championship, it won't be a matter of minutes for us to win the championship, right?"

"Coach Zeng is good enough, but I don't know if those boys from the Chinese Youth Team can live up to expectations! If the players can't live up to expectations, what's the use of being a great coach?"

"That's why we use military management! I support Coach Zeng, take good care of these brats and let them have some professionalism!"

In China, militarized management is not a derogatory term.

On the contrary, many schools still have a week of military training before the start of school!

What's more, the Chinese Youth Team is about to participate in the Asian Youth Championship.

But in the eyes of opponents, the taste has changed.

"Nanchao Daily" said that the training methods of the Chinese Youth Team are too strict, and a good team is accumulated in daily life.

Working on things temporarily will only accumulate dissatisfaction within the team.

The "Little Life Sports News" simply gave Zeng Zhengan a new title: "Devil Coach, start training the Chinese Youth Team!"

Whether it was "cramming" or "devil", judging from the wording, the two neighbors were obviously anxious.

As a national team coach, you can lead the team to the top 16 of the World Cup.

What's the point of competing for the honor of a bunch of naughty kids?

If you have the ability, you can lead the team to the Asian Games, and we will see the real results at the Asian Games!

It is estimated that when they find out that the Chinese team is really led by Zeng Zheng in the Asian Games, they will probably make a fuss.

...

On October 14, Zeng Zheng and three assistant coaches took the Chinese Youth Team to the land of Chiang Mai.

As early as March, Chen Jingang brought the Chinese youth team here for a week of training.

At that time, they played one match each with Thailand U16 and U19, and achieved results of 3-0 and 2-1 respectively.

Since China is one hour ahead of Thailand, there is no need to adjust for any time difference.

The team members who had been here once at the beginning of the year were familiar with the trip, and no one felt sick due to going abroad.

Three days later, Zeng Zheng led the whole team to the game site to watch the two games ahead of Group A.

"Look, the Chinese team is coming!"

"That guy wearing sunglasses is Coach Zeng, right? It must be him! I've seen it on TV!"

"I really want to come up and ask for an autograph! It would be even better if I could take a photo with Coach Zeng!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I really hope we can reach the top 16 of the World Cup one day!"

As soon as the Chinese youth team appeared, whispers in the stands could not stop.

Due to the language barrier, no one could understand what the other person was saying.

When passing by the seats of the youngsters in the stands, Zeng Zheng saw Troussier in the opponent's lineup.

"Zeng, we meet again."

"Philip, you're fine." Zeng Zhengcao replied with skillful expression.

The two looked friendly.

But in fact, Troussier couldn't help but his eyes lit up from the moment he saw Zeng Zheng.

If we follow the script of the first half of the World Cup, then South Africa will be the winner in the end.

If you encounter Nigeria in the knockout round and there is a civil war in Africa, you will not necessarily lose to your opponent.

But it was Zeng Zheng's flash of inspiration that caused Troussier's team to lose every game.

Speaking of resentment, it is indeed too much;

But to say that he doesn't care at all, Troussier has always had some obstacles in his heart.

"Didn't you say you wanted to come to China? How about becoming a coach when you're just running around like this?" Zeng Zheng joked.

"My friend introduced me, so I came." Troussier had already thought of his words.

The reason why I chose to coach during my childhood was because I wanted to get closer to the Chinese team and find an opportunity as soon as possible to get back a win against Zeng Zheng.

Troussier did not expect to meet Zeng Zheng so soon.

"Then say hello to Mr. Arsène for me when you have time."

Troussier was stunned and said subconsciously: "Do you know Wenger?"

"We have known each other for a long time. I know him, but he doesn't know me."

"Forget it, Zeng, after this World Cup, who in the coaching circle still doesn't know you? A World Cup coach who is not even 30 years old."

"Ha, if that's the case, then one day when I arrive in London, I will go to Arsenal to find him and say that you introduced him."

"This..." Troussier was a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that he was just being polite, but Zeng Zheng was so "shameless" and climbed up the ladder.

Seeing that all the team members had passed through the small seats one after another, Zeng Zheng let go.

"Then it's settled, our team members are calling me over!"

"Okay, Zeng, see you on the court then!"

"OK!"

Zeng Zheng nodded.

After bidding farewell to Troussier, Zeng Zheng did not return to his seat immediately.

Instead, he walked two rows up the aisle and came to a member of the Little League team.

Upon noticing Zeng Zheng approaching, the short-haired member of the team lowered his head and his legs could not help but tremble due to excitement.

Looking at the pen and postcard held tightly in both hands, Zeng Zheng stretched out his hand and said in fluent Japanese: "What do you want me to sign?"

"Sign, you can sign anything!"

Xiaopingtou immediately stood up, bowed deeply, and then presented the pen and paper with both hands.

He took the marker and took off the cap. Just as he was about to sign it, Zeng Zheng discovered that the postcard was actually a photo.

Turning it over, I saw it was a PK poster between Da Kongyi and Xiao Junguang.

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng chatted about his family affairs with great interest: "You just graduated?"

"Hi! I just graduated from Clearwater Commercial High School last year."

"Well, are you still used to playing in the club?"

"Hi! I'm pretty used to it."

"Do you have any plans to come to China to play? I happen to be a coach at a club and will start playing in the secondary league next year."

When he heard the invitation from his idol, Xiao Pingtou thought he was dreaming.

He opened his mouth and babbled for a long time, and finally said: "Thank you Zeng Sang for the invitation. I have just become familiar with the atmosphere of Urawa Ruby. The players and coaches are also very good to me. So, thank you Zeng Sang!"

After saying that, Xiao Pingtou bowed deeply to Zeng Zheng again, this time, his face almost touched his knees.

Zeng Zheng shook his head and smiled slightly

The moment he saw the little flat head, an evil thought arose in his mind.

How to defeat your opponent?

A famous person once said that if you can't beat your opponent in competition, then assimilate him in thought and behavior.

If all the young stars in the next ten or twenty years are brought to China in advance to play in the league, will they be able to grow up in the end?

However, this "evil" thought only flashed through Zeng Zheng's mind.

What's the use of just living a small life?

Will East Asia compete with each other?

This was not Zeng Zheng's original intention.

The conscientiousness in football when I was young is worth learning from.

Zeng Zheng waved his hand and wrote a row of Chinese characters: "Playing football is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

Finally, he made another payment, put the photo into Xiao Pingtou's hand, and walked away with a big smile.

"Oh my God, Xiaoye, show it to me quickly!"

"Let me see, what did Zeng Sang write?"

"Xiaoye, you are so stupid. Zeng Sang invited you to work under him and kicked you, but you didn't even go. You missed such a good opportunity like this!"

"Oh, if Zeng Sang also invites me, I will agree immediately!"

The team members were chattering, but Troussier's face, which was seeing all this, didn't look very good.

The consultant on the side saw this and hurriedly came forward to ask the reason.

Troussier sighed, "I have to admit that Zeng's intelligence ability is too strong."

"He knows who our Da Kongyi is, but I don't know who their team's Xiao Junguang is yet."
