World Cup of Great Powers

On January 10, the HLJ Provincial Stadium was crowded with people.

The media came, reporters came, fans came, even the deputy mayor came.

"Coach Zeng, Coach Zeng."

"welcome!"

“Welcome to Harbin!”

"On behalf of the 9.27 million Harbin people, I welcome you!"

Facing the media's cannons, Zeng Zheng appeared very calm.

"When we first come to Guibao Land, we have to rely on you, the mayor, to take care of us. You can't just kick us out because of poor grades!"

"Coach Zeng, look where you are! If you can bring the team here, we, the people of Harbin, won't be able to welcome them! How can we drive them out?"

The mayor held Zeng Zheng's shoulders tightly, fearing that he would fly away in the next second.

When the microphone was passed to the mayor, he expressed strong support for Zeng Zheng's team in front of all the fans.

"...Coach Zeng is the coach of our national team. He is a coach who can lead the national team to the World Cup and reach the top 16!"

"Now that he comes to Harbin to engage in football, the HEB City government will fully support it and give him the green light!"

"I hope citizens will also show their enthusiasm and pay more attention to our team."

"I believe that our Harbin football will get better and better!"

...

As early as three days ago, Zeng Zheng asked the printing press to print a brochure about the team.

The cover of the brochure features the five characters "Harbin River Dragon" and the team emblem of a dragon crossing the river.

It introduces in detail all kinds of information about the team from coaches to players, including the origins of every assistant coach I believe.

This booklet costs ten yuan a copy, which is a bit expensive.

But on the 10th, you can use this book to enter and watch the meeting ceremony of the Jianglong team.

Judging from the tens of thousands of fans present today, this booklet has already brought tens of thousands of dollars in revenue to the team.

The snow in the stadium has long been cleared away.

The fans stood in the stands with their hands folded, eagerly looking at the two dozen players in the stadium.

"Look, that's Zhang Xiaorui!"

"Li Jinyu is here too!"

"Oh! There are two foreigners here too! They look so strong!"

"That's not an ordinary foreigner, that's Maradona's teammate!"

"What? Where did you get this news?"

"You bought that brochure for nothing? It has everything written on it!"

"Ah... I thought this was today's ticket, but I didn't look at it much after I bought it! I have to study it carefully when I get back this time, so I don't know who I'm cheering for!"

While the fans were talking a lot, every player on the field performed a "flowery job" on the spot under Zeng Zheng's order.

Although most of the ball was bounced, the fans still gave warm applause to see the players' skillful ability to bounce the ball.

After all the players showed off, the microphone was passed to Zeng Zheng.

"Ahem, cough, cough, it's such a cold day, and everyone is so enthusiastic to come to the scene to support me. Zeng really doesn't know what to say."

"First of all, let's be grateful! I'm very grateful to everyone who took the time to come here to support the Harbin River Dragons despite their busy schedules."

"You must have seen from the team's brochure that our starting point for this season is A-B, and our goal is to reach A!"

"With the support of Harbin Guibao, I think it will not be difficult for us to hit the A!"

"You guys said that, right?"

"Yes!!!" the fans were excited.

The year before last, there was a second-division team that excited the people of Harbin.

This year we started playing directly from A and B, and these fans were even more excited!

After Zeng Zheng finished speaking, the host on the side took the opportunity to say:

"Coach Zeng, since you led the team to Harbin this time, the student representatives from Harbin specially wrote a team song for our team and wanted to present it to the team live today. What do you think?"

"Hey? Is there such a good thing?" Zeng Zheng grinned after hearing this, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's play music!"

With Zeng Zheng and others watching with great interest, a dozen students from Harbin Institute of Physical Education came to the stage with microphones.

"Hello, Coach Zeng!" Everyone bowed in unison.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone!"

"Coach Zeng, the team song we wrote for the Jianglong team is called North to the North. I hope Coach Zeng and all the Jianglong team members will like it."

After the leader finished speaking, he took a deep breath and took the lead in singing.

“Oh Harbin, oh Harbin!

We are north of the north!

We are a bunch of wild devils,

Oulet, Oulet, Oulet!

Oh Jianglong Team, Oh Jianglong Team.

Move forward without fear!

We roar for you beside you,

Oulet, Oulet, Oulet!"

The sonorous and powerful singing echoed in the stadium with the strong north wind. The firmness and majesty in the singing made countless people yearn for it.

When it was sung for the second time, many people at the scene started humming along with this popular rhythm.

The students at Harbin Institute of Physical Education at the scene had already opened their mouths and started singing along loudly.

At that moment, Zeng Zheng seemed to really see a group of devils covered in snow-white bear skins rushing out of the ice and snow whistling in the north wind, tearing all the enemies in front of them into pieces!

in such a harsh environment.

Let alone counterattack, it was extremely difficult for the enemy to even stay standing.

After singing a cappella twice, the leading student stood still, staring at Zeng Zheng with both eyes.

"good!"

After a long while, Zeng Zheng nodded slowly.

"This is the team song of our Jianglong team!"

"Yeah~~~" The students of Harbin Institute of Physical Education burst into cheers.

...

When the team flag, team emblem, and team song became the golden signature of the Jianglong team, all the manufacturers that took advantage of the popularity worked overtime to produce countless products.

While selling, there was also a wave of publicity for the Jianglong team.

After listening to Zeng Zheng's phone report, Wang Junsheng chuckled.

"Okay, Xiao Zeng, I can't tell you that your influence is so great. Now the whole of Harbin is supporting you."

"Isn't that what Uncle Wang led? If I hadn't had some success in the national team with Uncle Wang, would the fans have given me such a big face?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you brat! As soon as I complimented you a few times, you became so angry again." Wang Jun was so angry that he wanted to reach out his hand from the microphone and slap Zeng Zheng twice.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then he sighed, "You said you are the same. There are so many good resources at your disposal, but why did you choose Harbin? How cold it is there!"

"

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with Harbin? No matter how high the latitude of Harbin is, it's not as high as Russia, right? Isn't the Russian Super League still doing well?"

"Can it be the same? Everyone in Russia has lived at that latitude since childhood. What about us? Guangzhou is almost in the tropics!"

"Then I don't care, it's their own fault if they can't adapt!"

"Good boy, that's what you had in mind!" Wang Junsheng laughed and scolded, "You are deliberately bullying the southern team, right?"

"I bully them with the cold, and they can also bully me with the heat and humidity!" Zeng Zheng didn't care at all, "I haven't gone abroad anyway, and my location selection and everything else are all reasonable, legal and compliant! If they can't stand it, just go ahead.

I admit defeat, I don’t think winning 3-0 is too small.”

Wang Junsheng nodded after hearing this, "You are right."

"Football players have to adapt to various environments."

“Don’t be timid just because the weather is cold.”

"Otherwise, when we go abroad and encounter unsuitable weather and venues, why don't we just stop playing?"

Wang Junsheng was talking to himself here, and Zeng Zheng suddenly laughed over there.

"Uncle Wang, you only thought about us going out to play and didn't think about others?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Uncle Wang, think about it." Zeng Zheng guided little by little, "If our team establishes a foothold in Harbin and succeeds in reaching A next year, it will become a team that competes in Class A every year."

"This home court will be slightly renovated to meet international competition standards."

"Next time there is a top 40 game, a top ten game or something like that, this venue is our strategic base!"

"Not to mention Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Which one do you think will work best?"

"Looking at the whole of Asia, except for Xiaori and North and South Korea who can compete head-on, who else is our opponent?"

"Isn't it a sure win for these 3 points?"

Wang Junsheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Okay, Xiao Zeng, you have a good idea!"

"Of course it's good!" Zeng Zheng said proudly, "Our country is vast and rich, and we can get whatever climate we need, and geographical conditions we need! One day there will be a team in West Z, and we will build a few stadiums there.

Then all of Asia will be begging us not to put the competition venue there!"

"Hahahaha, you young people are so smart!" Wang Junsheng smiled while stroking his hands.

If we want West Z to have a permanent team and a permanent stadium, this will not happen for ten to twenty years.

But so what?

At least Zeng Zheng provided the ideal for this vision.

Maybe one day in the future, there will be a team from West Z in China's top league!

...

On January 17, a week after the 14 A-level teams arrived first, Zeng Zheng also led the team to the Kunming Haigeng spring training base.

The arrival of batches of players has brought about the storage of rolls of film.

At this time, there had just been a heavy snowfall in Haigeng. During this period, the A-A team members who arrived first did nothing but run laps every day.

The stall where Zeng Zheng came to was just when the snow was almost melting.

"There are 23 leaders, coaches and players of the Harbin River Dragons, actually 23! Here is the list!"

Facing Zeng Zheng, who was wearing sunglasses, the receptionist didn't even glance at the list, and immediately put on a welcoming expression: "Come on, come on, Coach Zeng, we're waiting for you to lead the team!"

"What's your name?" Zeng Zheng asked.

"Coach Zeng, just call me Xiaoguan."

Xiaoguan said, taking out a pamphlet from his arms.

"Coach Zeng, here are all the rules and regulations for this Haigeng spring training, as well as the final test items and standards."

"As long as all team members meet this standard, they can participate in this year's A and B games."

"It's okay if you don't pass. There will be a make-up exam later."

Zeng Zheng casually turned to the first page, and what he saw was a series of fine systems.

If you fail to turn off the lights at 10:30 p.m., or make phone calls, smoke, or drink during lunch break, you will be fined 1,000 yuan for the first time and 3,000 yuan for the second time.

If you fail to do morning exercises on time, you will be fined 3,000 yuan once, and the fine will be increased to 5,000 yuan the second time.

Those who are fined the most are those who stay out late and gamble. In addition to being ordered to leave the base, they are also fined RMB 10,000.

In addition to punishing players, there are also restrictions on coaches.

For example, if the team leader and head coach do not arrange more than two team meetings a week focusing on ideological and discipline rectification, they will be fined 2,000 yuan.

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng was also stunned.

"Damn it, coaches are fined for smoking? Are they so short of money for bamboo shoes?"
