World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 16 Please believe me

In the computer folder, Zeng Zheng cut the 90-minute video into dozens of short segments and named them each.

Every time you reach a point, the corresponding video can be opened immediately.

Summarizing the games that have been played, even Jin and Chi who did not attend the game felt like they were there.

The dishes on the dinner table were all cold, but no one was in the mood to eat. They were all immersed in Zeng Zheng's well-founded explanation.

After talking about this game, Zeng Zheng concluded.

"A fatal problem in our game is that although we fielded a 451 formation, there was no left back!"

"I took a cursory look at all the previous games and found that there are very few left-back positions in the national team that are qualified! So for the last game, a left-back must be brought in!"

Speaking of this, Gu Mingchang has already started to take notes with pen and paper.

After another half-point, Zeng Zheng summarized all the mistakes made in the first game against Kuwait, and based on these mistakes and shortcomings, he made up for them one by one.

Finally, Zeng Zheng began to recount the situation of the Kuwait national team in an endorsement-like manner.

"Currently, Kuwait is at the bottom of the group, and only the theoretical qualifying situation remains."

"We don't say they need to win, but they need to draw another game."

"But we must not let down our guard because of this."

"Because Kuwait's goal difference is higher than all three of our teams. In other words, if there is a draw there, Kuwait only needs to beat us by one goal to qualify!"

"So they will definitely attack, and if they find an opportunity, they will attack us!"

"Currently, according to data released by the AFC, Kuwait has suspended four people with yellow cards, one of whom is their main midfielder."

"We must grasp this carefully!"

"Strriving for the initiative in the midfield is definitely the top priority!"

At the end of the day, Tani Meichang's notebook had already recorded five or six articles.

Zeng Zheng rinsed his mouth with the old snow on the table and opened a picture again.

"In the end, it's the starting lineup."

"To be honest, I haven't thought about who the 11 people will be. After all, there are still many variables. It won't be too late for us to discuss it at that time."

"However, after careful consideration of these positions, I think they will not change."

"First of all, the goalkeeper!"

"Ou Chuliang has played 6 games. He is the most experienced and the most stable. There is no reason to replace him in this last game."

"Then there is Li Tie in the defensive midfield position. Although he is a bit rough with his feet, we don't need him to shoot. As long as we take advantage of his sufficient physical strength, Kuwait will not be able to attack!"

"Then there is the forward. I plan to use a forward who is good at heading the ball. In this last game, we must maximize the advantages of our 'heading team'!"

"The last thing is the left back. My idea is to not use any of these players now, just choose them from the substitute list."

"Everyone, do you have anything else to add?"

Seeing that it was finally his turn to speak, Jin, Chi, Chen and Gu looked at each other, but no one said a word.

After a while, Chi Shangbin sighed.

"Okay! Talented people come out from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old ones."

"I finally saw how powerful Coach Xiao Zeng is!"

"Just these preparations before the war, I, Lao Chi, really can't do it!"

"Okay, let's just listen to coach Xiao Zeng for this last game."

"If you have any use for me, Lao Chi, just tell me. Lao Chi can't do anything else, but I can help you manage the team members."

Chi Shangbin, who had led Dalian without losing in more than 40 consecutive games, was convinced. The other three assistant coaches naturally nodded along, but Zeng Zheng followed suit.

"But Coach Xiao Zeng, about whom?"

"Don't worry, Coach Chi." Zeng Zheng waved his hand, "I will personally explain it to everyone at the press conference tomorrow. There is no other room for this. If the national team wants to use him again, wait until I no longer have this position.

"

"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't disturb Coach Xiao Zeng."

Chi Shangbin stood up and said, "Don't worry, Coach Zeng. I'll help you sort things out between him and those international players who are having troubles."

After saying that, Chi Shangbin pushed his chair and walked out of the private room.

The other three coaches wanted to digest the information they received tonight, so they all stood up and left one after another.

Zeng Zheng looked at the table full of cold food and shouted: "Waiter, bring me a bowl of millet with ginseng!!!"

The next morning, Zeng Zheng took the new and old substitute players to the Golden State Stadium for a simple warm-up training.

The fans who came to support were extremely enthusiastic, and some even brought their whole families to cheer for the Chinese team.

After seeing Zeng Zheng at the stadium gate, many fans crowded the cordon and shouted:

"Coach Zeng, you must win!"

"Coach Zeng, come on, we support you!"

“Coach Zeng, don’t give the Kuwaitis any chance!!!”

After receiving a positive reply from Zeng Zheng, the stadium charged a nominal one yuan as an admission ticket, and you could go to the stadium to watch the national team train.

They are all simple warm-up items, and Zeng Zheng is not afraid of his opponents' spies.

Defeating his opponents with conspiracy is what Zeng Zheng wants.

Taking this opportunity, Zeng Zheng built a simple podium on the plastic runway on the sidelines and held an outdoor press conference on the spot.

The media rushed over upon seeing this.

They had too many questions to ask Zeng Zheng.

"Coach Zeng, I heard that there are strong differences within the national team. Is this true?"

"Coach Zeng, what's going on when XX players accuse you of being a dictator who wields all the power?"

"Coach Zeng, this is the last World Cup preliminaries. As long as we win, we will qualify. If you do this, won't it weaken our combat effectiveness?"

Facing reporters' questions, Zeng Zheng picked up the microphone and stretched out a finger.

"one!"

"Several assistant coaches and I do have some disagreements on tactical arrangements, but these are normal discussions within a reasonable range. At present, the assistant coaching team and I have initially reached an agreement, and I believe we will eventually develop a better tactical plan.

Play the last game."

"Two!" Zeng Zheng stretched out his second finger.

"Regarding the issues of certain players, I am here to announce today that XX will be permanently expelled from the national team by me! As long as I am still in this position for one day, my team will never recruit him!"

Wow~~~

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar on the scene.

I have to say that XX's status in the hearts of fans and reporters is quite high, after all, he has scored several goals before.

"Excuse me, Coach Zeng, what is the specific reason? Can you explain it in detail?"

"There is news that you had a dispute during the meeting, and both parties got involved. Can you explain it?"

"Coach Zeng, did he hit you, or did you hit him?"

"Three!" Zeng Zheng ignored the reporters' additional questions and held out his third finger.

"As for Kuwait, our opponent in the last World Cup qualifying match in a few days, I don't think they have anything to fear!"

"Think about it, we were able to beat them on the road before. Will we still lose when we return to home?"

"The answer is of course no!"

"Please friends from the media and fans continue to support us and have confidence in the national team!"

"This is our sixth time to compete in the World Cup, and it is also our last push of the century!"

"Please believe me and believe in the national team members who are still fighting on the front line!"

"We will use what we have learned throughout our lives and go all out to defeat our opponents and take our football out of Asia and to the world!!!"
