World Cup of Great Powers

"Hello, audience friends, I am the commentator Morena!"

"I am now at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu to explain to you the match between the Chinese team and Uruguay in Group D of this World Youth Championship."

"The one wearing the blue jersey is the Uruguay team, and the one wearing the red jersey is the Chinese team."

"The two sides have already set up their respective positions, and the Uruguay team took the lead to kick off."

"The lineups of both sides are..."

"Eh!"

"Uruguay has a chance."

"Nusri took the ball and distributed it to the left..."

"Diego Forlan quickly comes in in the middle..."

"Cross!"

“Chewanton!

"

"The ball went in!"

"Oh my god, the game has just started, and Uruguay used an attack to take the lead in breaking the Chinese team's goal."

"This is unbelievable!"

"All the fans in the stadium were sighing with regret."

"Look, the one appearing in the camera now is Zeng, the head coach of the Chinese team."

"In last year's World Cup, he led the Chinese team to the top 16 of the World Cup and was known as a magical coach in Asia."

"But judging from today's scene, it seems that the magical coach also takes a nap."

...

Zeng Zheng stood on the sidelines with his hands on his shoulders and a hint of surprise on his face at Uruguay's opening blitz.

Since losing to Mali in the first game, Uruguay has been in dire straits. Zeng Zheng expected that they would increase their offensive intensity in this game.

But I didn't expect that the opponent would score so quickly.

"We are so unlucky! We didn't expect our opponent to score so quickly."

Zeng Zheng shook his head vigorously.

Then he shouted to the players on the field: "Don't be anxious, just throw the ball if you lose it, and just kick it how you want!"

"Zhao Junzhe, stop me in the middle!"

"Xu Yunlong, you too, watch out for good people and don't let that guy pass so easily again."

"Wang Liang, Li Yan, you two should focus on defense first!"

Zeng Zheng issued several commands in a row, all targeting one person, Diego Forlan, who had just provided an assist for Chiwanton.

This guy doesn't look like much of a threat, but according to Zeng Zheng's understanding, many of Uruguay's threatening balls come from his feet.

After a simple exploration, Uruguay began to show its strength advantage in front of the Chinese youth team.

The offense of the China Youth Team mainly seeks a breakthrough from the left through the passing between Xu Yunlong and Shao Jiayi.

But since the opponent has already prepared for Shao Jiayi in advance, the threat is not great.

At the 14th minute, the fans who came to cheer for the China Youth Team once again broke out in a cold sweat.

Xu Yunlong's return pass was not powerful enough. Liu Yunfei abandoned the goal and made a tackle while he was on the ground. He kicked the ball on the foot of Uruguayan forward Chiwanton, and the ball bounced out of the baseline.

While everyone was in a false alarm, they gained a new understanding of the Uruguayan No. 9 player.

"Xiao Zeng, the situation is not going well." Zhu Guanghu said worriedly.

"It's okay, we just need to be more intense." Zeng frowned slightly.

Uruguay's several threatening attacks were all passed through the middle.

In other words, as long as some confrontation is strengthened in the middle and the opponent is prevented from sending threatening balls at the source, the situation can be stabilized.

But the question is, who will do this "dirty work"?

In the past, Li Tie was the best candidate.

Now that there was no one at hand, Zeng Zheng only thought for half a minute before shouting loudly: "Zheng Zhi, stand in the middle!"

"More intensity!"

"Don't let that guy get up again!"

Through a simple adjustment, Zheng Zhi's position was moved to the midfielder by Zeng Zheng, while Wang Liang and others temporarily moved back.

This is the first time Zheng Zhi has played this position since his debut.

Although he was still a little unfamiliar, Zheng Zhi quickly established a firm foothold in this place after repeated reminders from Zeng Zheng.

“Zeng’s adjustment was very quick.”

In the stands, some scouts nodded repeatedly.

"This Chinese player looks very thin, but he is a bit tougher!"

"But it's okay to be ruthless. You see, it's difficult for Uruguay to play a decent offense in the middle."

After Zeng Zheng's adjustment, although he used the attack to score a goal at the beginning, the Uruguayan did not widen the score in time.

Even though they are still attacking like a wave, the soldiers of the Chinese Youth Team are coming to stop them, and the water is coming to cover them.

Without the urgent need to equalize the score, they gradually gained a foothold and began to play back and forth with Uruguay.

Uruguay adopts the current mainstream offensive tactics.

With No. 10 Diego Forlan as the core, he uses his ability to get the ball at the front of the opponent's penalty area to continuously stretch the opponent's defense, and then waits for an opportunity to add you to pass into the penalty area, and the forward completes the fatal blow.

The double defensive midfielder composed of Zheng Zhi and Xu Yunlong just restrained this style of play.

The two of them were like two gates in front of the China Youth Team, shutting out all Uruguayan attacks.

"As expected of the amazing coach of the Chinese team, he actually raised the defense line so quickly!"

Double defensive midfielder defense is not a strange tactic, but it is not easy to be able to use the existing players on the field to switch positions and coordinate them to form effective combat power in a short period of time.

This means that the head coach can not only analyze the situation on the field in a short period of time, but also have a good understanding of the personal abilities of his players.

With Zeng Zheng standing on the sidelines, the lower limit of the Chinese Youth Team will not be too low!

“Sure enough, it’s quite good!”

Uruguayan coach Roderica stood on the sidelines, looking at the China Youth Team that defended their own offense flawlessly, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Zeng Zheng is really too young.

He is so young that any coach who takes one look at him will automatically regard him as a junior.

The Uruguayans must get three points in this game.

But looking at it now, even a one-goal lead does not seal the victory!

The assistant coach on the side also saw the clues and whispered in the ear of the Uruguayan coach: "Our attack in a thirty-meter area is like knocking over an iron plate, and the pass cannot pass through."

"Diego can't sing alone."

"The Chinese team's No. 5 is too difficult to deal with."

"And he acted very decisively..."

Roderica smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That No. 5 is just a bad guy, the key is not him."

With that said, Roderica pointed at Xu Yunlong and Zhao Junzhe, "The reason why No. 5 was able to find the right opportunity to make a move was because these two people were supporting him."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But to be honest, that No. 5 looks quite thin, but I didn't expect him to be so good in confrontation. He has plenty of physical energy and is active in running."

"With such a player on the Chinese team's defense, everyone will have a headache!"

The assistant shook his head helplessly after hearing this.

Zheng Zhi had always played as a full-back and central defender before, but he didn't have much performance.

But today Zeng Zheng made a random move and it got stuck in the Uruguayan's throat.

This development also caught Uruguayans off guard.

"Fortunately, we were lucky and got a goal before they adjusted!"

After Roderica finished speaking, she sighed again.

"But I have to admit that the Chinese team is really a magical team."

"Each of their team members has their own talents, but we can't collect exact information about them at all."

"Because the special talents of these players were brought into full play under the on-the-spot command of the young Chinese coach."

"If we don't get to that step, maybe we will never know that a certain player still has a certain ability!"

"The most important thing is that even under changes in formation, this Chinese team can still maintain their distinctive offensive characteristics."

"Look, No. 7 and No. 12 have been eyeing each other."

"The No. 16 next to me is always ready to go."

"Once their speed increases, we may not be able to hold on!"

Just like Roderica said, the external characteristic of the Chinese Youth Team is speed!

But a team with this kind of expertise is difficult to defend.

If you are not careful, your opponent will surprise you at the edge of the penalty area.

After looking at the time, Roderica began to signal the team to change formations.

No team can maintain a high-pressure offensive for a long time, and the rhythm of all games must also be loosened and tightened, advanced and retreated.

The Uruguayans had been attacking for twenty minutes, and it was time to slow down a bit.

"In five more minutes, we will go back!"

The assistant coach nodded, this was their plan before the game.

"But we have to be careful, that Chinese coach will definitely catch us!"

"As long as he sees us retreating, he will definitely follow us quickly."

"We must not let him seize this opportunity!"

...

On the rostrum, Wang Junsheng and Ladd sat together, watching the game.

Unlike the Uruguayans who fought against the odds.

If the Chinese youth team wins again in this game, it will be directly announced that they have advanced to the group.

"Mr. Ladd, do you think we have a chance to turn defeat into victory?"

Ogenjanovic Ladd, FIFA senior lecturer, Yugoslav football coach.

He came to China in 1993 and served as the coach of the National Olympics. He served as the technical consultant of the National Olympics in 1996. In 1996, he was appointed as the head coach of the Beijing Longli Football School.

[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]

As one of the early foreign coaches who came to China at the same time as Schlappner, Ladd can be said to have taken root in China over the years.

It is precisely because of Ladd's good reputation in the country that Horton was still selected as the head coach of the national team as a foreign teacher even though there was negative news about "trafficking the national team".

According to Zhu Xie's idea, let Ladd, a foreign teacher who is familiar with China's national conditions, temporarily stay as the national team coach for a year or two.

After these National Olympic and National Youth teams have fully grown up, Zeng Zheng can take over and form a perfect transition.

Although Wang Junsheng has also played football, in terms of the overall situation and overall situation, he is basically no different from ordinary fans.

"Wang Zhuxi, did you see that Zeng was anxious?"

This wise old man from Yugoslavia did not answer Wang Junsheng's question directly, but asked a question with a smile.

Wang Junsheng looked towards the sidelines, and there was no trace of panic on Zeng Zheng's face.

Even if you yell sometimes, it's just urging the players to move in place.

"Xiao Zeng didn't show any signs of anxiety."

"That's it." Ladd smiled slightly, "Coach Zeng is an excellent coach. He knows these young people better than us, so we should trust him."

...

As time went by, Uruguay's offense became less fierce, but the players of the Chinese Youth Team still did not dare to be careless and carefully responded to every opponent's attack.

Although the defense was very good, many people began to secretly glance at the sidelines, hoping to see changes in Zeng Zheng.

The Chinese Youth Team can afford to lose, but the game is not over yet, so there is no need to admit defeat at this stage.

Everyone expected to see Zeng Zheng's clarion call for counterattack.

But to everyone's surprise, even though he saw Uruguay's attack slowing down, Zeng Zheng remained unmoved.

"What's going on, Boss Zeng? We can't attack the other side anymore, why don't we attack quickly?"

"Did Boss Zeng give up?"

"It's impossible, it's only the first half!"

"We must believe in Mr. Zeng, he must have his own ideas!"

Zeng Zheng stood still on his side, but Uruguay was somewhat hesitant.

It is not difficult to analyze from Zeng Zheng’s past games that Zeng Zheng is a coach with particularly strong on-the-spot command ability.

Not only is he good at it, he does it often.

For this, Roderica and his coaching team are also well prepared.

But the problem is, Zeng Zheng suddenly seems to be stuck and can't play any cards!

As a result, Roderica's long-prepared plan has been delayed, and the cards in her hand just can't be played!

"This guy must be holding back his ultimate move!"

Roderica did not believe that Zeng Zheng would surrender so early.

Many years of coaching career have made him very confident. Zeng Zheng must be thinking about a way to win in one move!

But the problem is, he doesn't know when Zeng Zheng will strike, nor where his sword will hit.

As time passed by, Roderica became anxious.

"The pace of the game is too slow!" the assistant coach whispered from the side, "Should we take the opportunity to attack again? If we can expand the score advantage to two goals..."

A long period of slow pace can easily affect players' desire to attack.

Roderica thought for a moment, then shook her head, "No, wait a little longer!"

He turned his head and looked at Zeng Zheng on the other side.

Roderica is really unpredictable.

What the hell are you thinking about?

At this moment, Zeng Zheng suddenly turned his head and met Roderica's eyes.

As if aware of the other party's gaze, Zeng Zheng grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

grass!

This guy actually laughed!

What is he laughing at?

What was he thinking about?

As time passed, Roderica became a little unable to sit still.

After looking at the time, Roderica whispered to the assistant coach: "Tell the players that they can attack again!"

"Aim for their right this time, let's attack from the side!"

This was originally Zheng Zhi's defense area.

Roderica doesn't believe that after Zeng Zheng's on-the-spot change of formation, the defensive intensity of the Chinese Youth Team can still be maintained.

After all, these players are all young people, and it is impossible for Zeng Zheng to do everything.

Soon, the Uruguayan players on the field received instructions from the assistant coach and quickly began to organize to pick up the rhythm of the game again.

The Uruguayans are strong and quickly seize an opportunity.

After playing a beautiful one-two on the wing, Diego Forlan took off and stuffed the ball into the space on the right side of the penalty area.

Zhaojun turned back and was unable to defend in time. Hera, the opponent's left midfielder, met the ball and shot hard. The ball missed the post and hit the camera directly behind the goal.

Seeing this result, the Uruguayans shook their heads and sighed.

At this moment, Zeng Zheng suddenly waved his hand and called Wang Liang to his side in front of all the fans.
