World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 18 Everything is ready

He's not afraid of jokes either.

In this era, the Internet was not as developed as in later generations. A lot of information was published online, and then it was completely clear at a glance.

Not to mention that many people couldn't understand the qualifying rules and calculations during the 1997 Top Ten Tournament. Even in 2003, wouldn't the national team still be eliminated by others because of the goal difference?

Therefore, everyone from the Bamboo Shoes leadership team to the common people thought that if they win this game, they can enter the World Cup.

But in fact, if you don't win the first place in the group, you will have to play a play-off with the second place in Group B.

The match in Group B ended four days ago.

South Korea dominated Group B and advanced directly two rounds ahead of schedule.

In the penultimate round, South Korea lost 0-2 at home to Little Days. The United Arab Emirates, which had been firmly in second place before, was tied 0-0 by Uzbekistan, which was first from last. As a result, Little Days overtook the score by 1 point.

Dropped to third place.

In the final round of Group B, Xiaori’s home game against Kazakhstan started first.

As a result, Xiaotian used a 5-1 victory to make the United Arab Emirates, which only played that night, lose all fighting spirit.

You are already determined to be second, why should I give you a kick?

In the end, the UAE simply broke the pot and defeated South Korea 1-3.

So if we want to play in the play-offs, Xiaori's opponent has already been decided.

After a detailed explanation from the secretary, Wang Junsheng finally understood all the rules for qualifying for the Asian World Cup Qualifiers.

Going back to the original question, "Can we be first in the group?"

Faced with Wang Junsheng's questioning again, the secretary was stunned for a moment, and finally chose the simplest answer: "Yes!"

The situation in Group A can be said to be complicated or simple.

First of all, Iran just resigned to its fate.

Whether you can qualify (including the play-offs) depends entirely on the results of these two games.

If the Chinese team wins and the other two teams also decide the winner, Iran, which has 12 points, will be eliminated.

If both games are draws, Iran will be first in the group.

Although there are many changes in the ending, the qualifying team is also not certain.

But for the Chinese team, as long as the number of goals won in this game exceeds the number of goals won in the next game, then the Chinese team will be first in the group and go straight to France.

To put it bluntly, win with a big score, and the more you win, the greater the chance of qualifying first in the group!

The secretary took the time to explain these words to Wang Junsheng in the special car.

Of course Zeng Zheng had thought of this a long time ago.

Therefore, the lineup arranged for this game is very aggressive.

First of all, on the forward line, Zeng Zheng arranged for the temporarily transferred Su Maozhen.

The golden-headed Mao Mao, who is 1.86 meters tall and a former teammate of Beckham, can fully support the team's forward line.

Assisting Su Maozhen is the "prodigal son" Gao Feng.

Although this guy's body was somewhat hollowed out by that eagle, he had to admit that Gao Feng's speed and assault ability were indeed second to none in the team.

At the same time, like Li Bing who played in the last game, he also plays the "duizi" tactic explained by Zeng Zheng.

In the midfield, Ma Mingyu returned to his familiar attacking midfielder position, and his partner was Zhang Xiaorui.

Li Tie and Li Ming partnered as a double midfielder.

But Li Ming's main task is not to defend, but to provide assists. This is also Zeng Zheng's last resort when the offense fails to open up the situation.

On the back line, General Fan and Heizi Zhang Minghua partnered as central defenders.

Right back Sun Jihai, left back Wu Chengying from Shenhua is also a substitute.

After analysis and observation, Zeng Zheng discovered that although Wu Chengying was boring, he had an ability that he found very appealing.

"Name: Wu Chengying, age: 22, gender: male."

“Tacit understanding: 21%”

"Talent: A

Body: Speed-A, Physical fitness-A, Strength-A, Jumping-A

Golf quotient:A

Focus on: SSS”

"Current status: Extremely excited ↑"

When she learned that she was selected as the starter, Wu Chengying simply nodded without even uttering the word "hmm".

If Zeng Zhengneng hadn't looked at this guy's condition, he would have thought he was a wooden person.

Compared with other international players, Wu Chengying's abilities are not outstanding, but his fighting spirit and defensive intensity are highly praised by the industry.

In the words of Shenhua fans, this kid is a "hard-working man"!

In addition, Wu Chengying also has the ability to assist, which is more in line with Zeng Zheng's wishes.

There are two more full-backs in the attack, which puts a lot of pressure on the opponent.

The goalkeeper is still Ou Chuliang, and the assistant coach has no objection to this.

After all, the battle between Jiang Jin and Qatar was so unpopular.

Before 4 p.m., the stands at Golden State Stadium were packed with fans.

Here, no one knows anyone, but they can stand shoulder to shoulder, shout, jump and cheer together.

There are no chairman of the board, students, intellectuals, laid-off workers or retired cadres here.

There is only one kind of person in the stands, the fans who come to cheer for the team.

Most of these people are "stragglers", and no one knows anyone around them.

However, under the leadership of the staff, everyone shouted slogans and sang songs together.

There was even a huge red flag unfurled in the stands. It was not easy to achieve such coordination.

Even across the plastic track, the players can feel the enthusiasm of the fans.

In the stadium, General Fan is leading the players to warm up.

Every time the loudspeaker at the venue announced the name of a player, the 70,000 fans in the stadium would chime in.

When Zeng Zheng was broadcast, the fans even started to roar.

It can be seen how much the fans love this new coach who has brought the team back from a desperate situation.

By the time the players officially entered the field, many fans' throats were already itchy and dry.

"If I had known, I would have brought the speakers in!" some fans complained.

When going through the security check before, many people left their speakers in the small basket next to the cell.

But when I entered the stadium, I discovered that there were still many people sneaking in with speakers hidden in their clothes.

"Dude, use mine!"

A big man weighing one hundred and eighty pounds reached out and pulled out a golden mini trumpet from his crotch and handed it over.

The fans who just complained didn't mind it and happily accepted it.

[National team: tacit understanding 52%]

[Overall status: can’t wait]

[Dalian Jinzhou weather: sunny; temperature: 2 degrees Celsius]

[Team BUFF1: National Team 1* (not replaceable)]

[National Team 1: Team fighting spirit is affected by fans under certain circumstances]

[Team BUFF2: National Team 2* (non-replaceable)]

[National Team 2: The game that determines success or failure allows the whole team to put aside all personal grudges and strengthen the overall fighting will and tacit understanding]

[Team BUFF3: Undefeated Wanda]

[Invincible Wanda: In offense and defense, Wanda players are more likely to find the position of their club teammates]

[Team BUFF4:XXX]

[Team BUFF5:XXX]

The weather in Golden State has dropped to around 0 degrees, fulfilling the wishes of many fans.

You should know that as a coastal city, the temperature in Kuwait is still in the upper 20s right now!

Before the game even started, the national team had already taken advantage of the right time and place.

In terms of people and people, Zeng Zheng was not idle either.

In the past few days, I worked hard to train Wu Chengying and Su Maozhen in my dreams, and finally raised my overall tacit understanding with the national team to over 50% the day before the game.

Not only that, Zeng Zheng also spent 2,000 redemption points to simulate 4 games with different formations and lineups.

This kind of simulated competition can also be carried out in Zeng Zheng's mind in his free time.

The disadvantage is that it cannot be fast forwarded, and the opponent's starting personnel can only be arranged based on existing intelligence, and Zeng Zheng needs to observe and adjust in real time.

After using up three substitutions in each game, they achieved 3 wins and 1 loss in 90 minutes.

Such a result gave Zeng Zheng a lot of peace of mind.

At the very least, you know how to win and where to lose.

After spending another 1,000 points to exchange for a God's Perspective, Zeng Zheng left more than 2,000 points to exchange for the Qianli Sound Transmission Speaker.

Looking at the players standing in a row on the court singing the national anthem, Zeng Zheng took a deep breath.

He tried his best to do everything he could.

Whether they can qualify in the end depends on the players themselves!

"Beep!"

With the whistle blowing, the last top ten game officially begins!
