World Cup of Great Powers

"It's really impossible to kick!"

"The Chinese team players are really tall!"

"And he's so strong!"

"The most important thing is that it's so fast!"

"We are obviously all East Asians, why is the gap so big?"

"Oh, the physical difference is too big, so it's normal to be tied."

"Especially since the Chinese team kept playing high and high in the end, our players didn't have the advantage at all."

"It's already very difficult to defend against ground balls. It's simply too difficult to defend the Chinese team from high-altitude balls."

...

In the post-match interview, the players from the Little League kept complaining to reporters about the hardships of the game.

Why did Junichi Inamoto get two yellow cards?

Isn't it because other teammates also have yellow cards? Even if he doesn't play, he has to play!

After one game, in order to prevent the rapid attack of the China Youth Team, Xiaori received a total of 8 yellow cards in this game.

It has to be said that the young players may be physically different from the Chinese youth team players, but in terms of execution ability, they are definitely the best in Asia.

Seeing the statistics after the game, Zeng Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Before the game, he thought about what means and methods he would use to defeat his opponent.

After much thought, the first high-altitude bombing campaign against South Korea was abandoned.

There are several reasons.

First, this set of tactics has been demonstrated in the last game, so the opponent will be prepared;

Second, facing the small life, Zeng Zheng actually does not want to use this "original routine" that only belongs to China vs. Japan.

Football is developing in the early days. Whether it is Hidetoshi Nakata in the previous batch or Shinji Ono in this batch, several outstanding players can emerge from each batch.

Zeng Zheng also wanted to see if there was any gap between the two teams when playing ground ball.

If so, who is stronger and who is weaker, and by how much.

To be on the safe side, Zeng Zheng also deliberately prioritized the speed advantage in this ground ball tactic.

I'm just afraid that if I really can't compete with my opponents in terms of passing and receiving, I can still show off my personal strengths.

Now it seems that Xiaoli's foot skills have grown very quickly.

Especially in terms of offensive organization.

Not to mention being a proficient person, he is also familiar with the road and is able to do it with ease.

The most important thing is that they know where their weaknesses are, how to fight, and how to attack.

In this regard, the members of the Chinese Youth Team still have a lot of room to learn.

...

After the draw, the remaining two group opponents no longer pose much of a threat to Zeng Zheng.

But he still has to adjust his tactics based on his opponent's results.

Playing first and then playing later became Zeng Zheng’s biggest reliance.

On October 22, the Japanese youth team, which played first, completely defeated Iraq with a score of 6 to 2.

Seeing such a result of the game, Zeng Zheng immediately changed his strategy of trying to win 1-0.

In the next game against Qatar, the China Youth Team played vigorously and showed no mercy to their opponents in the forward attack.

Speedy attack from the wing and high-altitude bombing with headers.

The two winning methods Zeng Zheng has prepared for this year's Chinese youth team have all been revealed to his opponents.

But even so, Qatar still couldn't stop the China Youth Team's attack.

In the end, with Shen Han, Li Yan and Li Yi scoring twice, the Chinese Youth Team defeated Qatar 4-0, still maintaining the goal difference lead over the Japanese Youth Team.

That's exactly what he said.

The trick is not new, it just works!

In the fourth round, the Chinese Youth Team had a bye.

Zeng Zheng took the players to the stands and watched the games of the other four teams.

As Zeng Zheng guessed before, neither Qatar nor Iraq are opponents of Japan and South Korea.

Perhaps stimulated by the Chinese youth team, the Japanese and Korean teams also worked hard to qualify.

On a small day, they defeated Qatar 4-0, and South Korea defeated Iraq 3-0.

After the first four rounds of the group stage, Qatar has 4 games, 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 4 points, while Iraq has 3 games, 3 losses and 0 points. Both teams have been completely eliminated.

Which two teams from Group B will qualify must be selected from the three teams from China, Japan and South Korea.

At present, the Nissei team has 7 points from 3 games, 2 wins and 1 draw, and ranks first with 8 goal differences. The China Youth Team and Nissei team have the same points, but because they only have 7 goal differences, they are temporarily ranked second.

South Korea has 3 games, 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 4 points and 0 goal difference, leaving only the theoretical possibility of qualifying.

If the Tai Chi Tigers want to qualify, they can only play hard in the last game and win by a big score.

The most important thing is that if they want to eliminate the Chinese youth team, they must not only beat the small days, but also hope that Iraq, who is fighting for honor, will score a few more goals and win the final game. The victory of the game.

Comparing the two, it is "easier" for South Korea to defeat Xiaozhi 4-0, tie the goal difference and number of goals with its opponents, and then rely on the winning relationship between the two teams to qualify.

So despite the fact that the Chinese youth team's goal difference is still one less than Xiaoli before the last round, the real crisis is still felt by Xiaoli's players.

Everyone knows that if the South Korean team members are in a hurry, they can do anything!

"This is called complete victory!"

“Coach Zeng is truly a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!”

“Not only can you sit firmly on the fishing boat, but you can also watch the tiger fight from a distance!”

The media's praise has once again raised Zeng Zheng's reputation to a new level.

...

On October 26, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, South Korea and the Chinese Youth Team, who said harshly, "We will fight to the death," played in two stadiums at the same time.

Facing Iraq, which had yet to win a game, Zeng Zheng was too lazy to give instructions and chatted with other coaches and players on the bench.

"Coach Zeng, should we let it go in the last game? Let's conserve our strength?"

Considering the domestic situation in Iraq, Chen Jingang couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

After saying this, even he felt something was wrong.

Patting his thighs and shaking his head, "Oh, I'm just a nouveau riche, pretend I didn't say anything!"

Zhao Junhua on the side also sighed with emotion.

"Yes, we can all think about taking care of others' face now. When have we ever fought such a rich battle?"

Before Zeng Zheng could speak, Li Hui said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't Xiao Zeng free enough?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "All substitutes were sent for this game!"

"Those who have never played before are all going up to play!"

"Even the goalkeeper has been changed."

"Isn't this face sold enough?"

"But, but..."

Looking at the young and middle-aged players on the court who were beating Iraq, Chen Jingang didn't know what to say.

Is this a substitute?

Does the substitute lineup also have this strength?

Why didn’t I have this ability when I was coaching?

These brats, could they be playing me?

Taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity, Zeng Zheng stood up, came to the sidelines and shouted.

"Concentrate, let's get the ball first!"

"oh!!!"

The team members who received the message raised their hands and nodded as a response.

Soon, Zeng Zheng's order was fulfilled.

Negotiate, who had not had many chances to play before, broke through on the wing and created a single opportunity. Facing the Iraqi goalkeeper, he pushed the shot from a small angle into the near corner and scored successfully.

1-0, the Chinese Youth Team took the lead in the first 10 minutes.

Seeing Zeng Zheng commanding the attack, Chen Jingang looked a little ugly.

He thought Zeng Zheng was going against him.

Recall that from the day Zeng Zheng came to the China Youth Team, he completely handed over power.

In my daily life, I have always cooperated fully, and I have never offended Zeng Zheng!

What?

Just when I wanted to give Iraq some slack, you let the negotiation score.

what does this mean?

Do you want to show your face to me?

"Coach Zeng, I was just joking!"

"It's okay if we don't let the water fall on purpose, but you are..."

Zeng Zheng is straightforward, but this does not mean that he does not understand the ways of the world, it is just that in some situations, he is too lazy to do so.

Seeing how sensitive Chen Jingang was now, Zeng Zheng had no choice but to explain: "Coach Chen, I don't have any intention against you."

Chen Jingang glanced at Zeng Zheng, as if to say - Then you still let the team attack?

"Coach Chen, think about it carefully."

"If we take the lead in this game, what will be the result?"

Lead? Result?

Of course he qualified first in the group!

Considering the results of another group just released yesterday, Chen Jinggang asked: "Is it to avoid Saudi Arabia?"

Zeng Zheng shook his head, "We have actually qualified for the group stage."

"If you don't consider the prize money, this Asian Youth Championship is actually over."

"Anyway, there is still a decisive battle between the third and fourth players. We can still play at least two games, which can be used for training."

"So it's the same no matter who you play in the semifinals!"

After hearing Zeng Zheng's explanation, Chen Jingang was even more confused.

"Then what Coach Zeng means is..."

Zeng Zheng suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "We are ahead, who is most anxious?"

Who is most anxious?

Xu Yunlong, who had been listening to Qu'er, immediately reacted, "Coach Zeng, South Korea is the most worried!"

"How smart!" Zeng Zheng touched Xu Yunlong's head, "Yes, South Korea is the most anxious!"

"Why..." Chen Jinggang didn't react yet.

With Zeng Zheng's permission, Xu Yunlong explained.

"Coach Chen, you see, we are leading now, and maybe we will win. This will directly stop South Korea over there from hoping that Iraq will help them."

"So if South Korea wants to get out of line, it must fight against Xiaoli."

Zeng Zheng nodded and said happily, "Maybe a goal has been scored over there now!"

Just as Zeng Zheng guessed.

When South Korea learned that the Chinese Youth Team was ahead, they instantly unleashed all their fighting power and violently attacked Xiaori's defense line.

In the early days, after a battle with the Chinese Youth Team, most of the players had yellow cards on their bodies, and many of them were injured.

Facing the fierce rush of the Tai Chi Tigers, they lost two goals in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the "mission" was half completed, the South Korean team members also worked hard and continued to increase investment in the attack.

Troussier mobilized his troops and was so busy on the sidelines that he was able to stop the decline.

However, the second half had just begun and the situation on the court suddenly changed.

South Korea used a fast break to break through the Nissei team's goal again.

3 to 0.

This score is terrible!

As long as South Korea scores one more goal, the goal difference between the two sides will even out.

At that time, depending on the relationship between victory and defeat, it will be South Korea that advances!

In the last ten minutes, South Korea came out in full force, and the little guys struggled to hold on.

It wasn't until the referee's whistle blew after five minutes of injury time that the players from both sides stopped fighting, turned into a puddle of mud, and collapsed on the spot from exhaustion.

Looking at the wounded soldiers on the ground in front of him, and then looking at the "3-0" fixed on the scoreboard, Qingyun Rongchun, who had retired to the second line and became an assistant coach, murmured: "Finally, I saved it..."

"Mr. Omar, we're holding on!"

"We are victorious!"

"We are the ones who qualify!"

But at this time, Troussier, who was standing beside him, looked livid and did not say anything.

When Qingyun Eijun saw this, he thought it was Troussier who was dissatisfied with the players for so many injuries and so many yellow cards.

"Mr. Omar, South Korea is attacking too hard."

"We fought so hard against a strong team like China in the first round. It's not easy for the players to play like this!"

"so..."

Troussier rolled his eyes after hearing the translated words, "You think I'm complaining that the players can't play well?"

"wrong!"

"I'm angry with Zeng from the Chinese team!"

"Damn it Zeng! Hehehehe, I really have you..."

ever?

What happened to Coach Zeng?

Qingyun Rongjun didn't react either.

Seeing this, the translator on the side hurriedly whispered: "The news just came from the other side of the field. The Chinese Youth Team lost two goals in a row at the last moment and lost to Iraq 1-2."
