World Cup of Great Powers

The Rose Bowl is in full swing.

Zeng Zheng looked at the messages that were being refreshed on the screen, feeling a little dumbfounded.

Exceeding authority has always been a taboo!

You can advise the women's football team behind the scenes, formulate detailed strategies and tactics, and provide a detailed roster, etc.

Even if Zeng Zheng did everything he should do as a head coach.

But it’s absolutely not allowed to just take the stage and direct!

Don’t look at what netizens are saying.

But in Zeng Zheng's opinion, the players played pretty well.

As for why netizens feel that the women's football team made too many mistakes and performed differently than expected, there are many reasons.

The most important thing is that a group of fans who claim to watch men's football all year round feel a sense of disparity when they occasionally watch women's football.

However, the fact is that among the three major sports, there is a huge gap between men's and women's sports.

Fans who often watch men's football will always inadvertently bring in the standards of men's football when they see women's football.

If you are used to watching Ronaldo and Zidane, then look at Sun Wen and Liu Ailing, some fans who are not careful will naturally like to complain and follow the rhythm.

The second is that although Zeng Zheng tried his best to help the team members conserve their physical strength, the team members still suffered a lot due to Da Laomei's conspiracy.

The third game of the group stage, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and the final.

A total of four journeys across the east and west coasts were too much for anyone to endure.

Coupled with all the unfair treatment after arriving in Los Angeles, and the final whistle blowing at 13 noon under the bright sun.

All kinds of unfair treatment.

Let alone the women's football team, even if the men's football team comes, they will be confused.

Therefore, in Zeng Zheng's opinion, the women's football team made some mistakes in the first half, but they were within the normal range;

But if the American women's football team, which has the right time, place and people, makes a mistake, it is simply a loser!

Didn’t you see that after the passing error, Zhao Lihong, Liu Ying and others counterattacked on the spot;

Did you see that after the set-piece tactics failed to work out, Bai Jie, Liu Ailing and others worked hard to make up for it;

Didn’t you see that after the shot failed, Sun Wen, Jin Yan and others rushed to make up the shot.

...

Some technical and tactical actions that appear on camera but are not noticed by people are what demonstrate the hard power of a team.

And these, the women's football players have done very well.

As the first half of the game came to an end, Zeng Zheng took a look at the data comparison between the two teams.

The Chinese team's ball possession rate is as high as 48%, which is almost the same as its opponents.

The number of shots taken was 7 to 9, which is not much worse than the opponent.

Such data in an away game is already very good.

Just when Zeng Zheng carefully studied the running comparison of the players of the two teams as well as the detailed data such as the number of passes and receptions and the success rate, changes finally appeared on the court.

In the 41st minute, Liu Ailing protected the ball in front of the penalty area and then crossed to Sun Wen.

This time, Sun Wen did not choose to break through with the ball.

The moment she caught the ball, she glanced at the opponent's goalkeeper's position, then moved her right foot, took a small step forward to the left, and decisively shot the ball with her left foot.

Whoosh!

The ball bypassed all defenders and flew towards the American goal.

U.S. goalkeeper Scully made a desperate save, but still couldn't reach the ball.

With a bang, Sun Wen's shot hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net.

After seeing the ball really go in, all the women's football girls immediately raised their arms and gathered together.

The entire Rose Bowl stadium was also set on fire in an instant.

Tens of thousands of Chinese fans blew their neck trumpets in unison, bringing the atmosphere of the entire stadium to a climax.

"Look, there is no need for me at all, the players can score goals themselves!" - Zeng Zheng

Since Zeng Zheng's computer is produced by System, the network speed is faster than delayed satellite signals.

Zeng Zheng sent out the news and the photos he took immediately, and only then did domestic netizens see Sun Wen catch the ball.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to what Zeng Zheng said.

All attention was focused on Sun Wen who was taking a step forward with the ball on the screen.

When they saw the ball drawing an arc in the air, just around the opponent's goalkeeper's fingertips and then bouncing into the net, the fans watching the game at home also exploded.

"Goal scored!"

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!"

After standing up and saying "Oh yeah" several times in a row, netizens couldn't wait to run to the computer and start typing.

"Oh my god, the world wave! Sun Wen entered the world wave!"

"Sun Wen's kick is too powerful. Even the men's football team can't kick this ball, right?"

"The ball is so hard, I didn't expect to be able to shoot from this place."

"I was wrong, I take back what I said before, the women's football team is awesome!"

"Yes, yes, women's football is awesome!"

"Women's football team is awesome!"

In the blink of an eye, all the replies in the chat room were flooded with the words "Women's Football Niu X" and "Sun Wen Niu X".

Those fans who were a little dissatisfied before saw the goal have long forgotten what they said before.

Zeng Zheng now directly acted as a "war reporter", uploading and posting high-definition photos of the scene one after another, which made the fans on the computer enjoy watching it.

...

The Chinese team led 1-0. This score greatly exceeded the expectations of the fans at the scene.

Including Zeng Zheng himself.

After hearing the whistle that ended the first half, Zeng Zheng closed his laptop, stood up, and looked at the scoreboard in a daze.

"In this case, there should be no need to take penalty kicks..."

"Coach Zeng, what are you mumbling about?" A hand suddenly placed on Zeng Zheng's shoulder, disrupting Zeng Zheng's thoughts.

"Ah, it's Sister Bai!"

Zeng Zheng turned around and saw Bai Jie with short hair.

Bai Jie is one year younger than Zeng Zheng.

But because of the name and Bai Jie's resolute and capable personality, Zeng Zheng didn't mind calling her "Sister".

"Well played..."

Zeng Zheng stretched out his hand, and Bai Jie took advantage of the situation and patted Zeng Zheng's palm hard.

"Coach Xiao Zeng!"

"Coach Zeng..."

Afterwards, every team member walked past Zeng Zheng one by one with a smile on their face.

Zeng Zheng clapped his hands with each of them, and then said the same words of encouragement.

"Brother Zeng, have you seen how good my feet are?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sun Wen came to Zeng Zheng with a bound, then rounded his arms and slapped Zeng Zheng's outstretched palm with a "snap" sound.

This time, Zeng Zheng was almost slapped on the arm.

"Not bad, not bad, a bit like Beckham."

Zeng Zheng quickly took back his hand, rubbing it while appreciating it.

"Ha! Then I have to score another one in the second half!" Sun Wen raised his chin and walked into the tunnel.

After watching Sun Wen leave, Zeng Zheng turned his head and saw Fan Yunjie stopping in front of him.

"Uh...Sister Fan, you played well in the first half. Our defense is really solid!"

Fan Yunjie smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Coach Zeng."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, Zeng Zheng was a little confused.

"Uh...Sister Fan, do you have anything else to do?"

Fan Yunjie scratched the back of his head, pointed at Zeng Zheng's red hand that was slapped red by Sun Wen, and said, "Coach Zeng, I haven't high-fived you yet!"

"Ah? Ah!"

Zeng Zheng said "ah" twice, finally reacted and quickly stretched out his hand.

As soon as he stretched it out, Zeng Zheng's eyes were filled with fear.

Gao Hong, who was flying over, put her left hand on Fan Yunjie's shoulder and gave it a strong push, causing her whole body to jump up high.

He used his right hand, which had taken off his glove, to strike in the air and hit Zeng Zheng's palm hard.

"Snapped!!!"

It was louder than Sun Wen's slap just now.

Damn it!

Zeng Zheng almost didn't curse.

But in front of the women's football girls, as a coach, how can he use foul language?

As soon as the word "lying" came out of his mouth, he held it back forcefully.

"Coach Zeng, I'm going back first!" Gao Hong flicked his short hair and walked into the players' tunnel carelessly.

"Coach Zeng, are you okay?" Fan Yunjie asked carefully and concerned.

"Uh...Sister Fan, I'm fine." Zeng Zheng grinned, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and then stretched out his right hand again.

"Sister Fan, come on!"

Looking at Zeng Zheng's red and swollen right hand, Fan Yunjie burst into laughter.

He stretched out his hand and gently pressed it up, then smiled happily and said: "Coach Zeng, I'm going back to the locker room first!"

...

During the intermission, netizens who were idle started chatting again.

"No matter what, watching the women's football team is at least more reassuring than watching the men's football team!"

"Yes, we made too many mistakes in the first half, otherwise we could have scored a few more!"

"That little mistake is normal. American girls fight too hard!"

"It has to be Sun Wen at the critical moment! I, Wang Laowu, swear here that Sun Wen will score a goal in the second half. I bet a dollar!"

"I'll come with you!"

"I'll join you too!"

...

The 15 minutes passed quickly. Amid the rising cheers, the players from both sides once again stood in line on the field.

After the whistle blew, just as Zeng Zheng expected, the American players quickly spread out their formation and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team in the half.

Ma Yuanan on the sidelines was not impatient or impatient.

The scene was passive after the start of the second half, which was what he, Zeng Zheng and others expected.

Anyway, the tactics Zeng Zhenghe and he studied for today are "solid defense and quick counterattack".

Now that the opponent is one goal behind again, it is inevitable that the army will press the situation.

Of course, it would be even better if we can find another scoring opportunity in the opponent's fierce attack.

Just when I was thinking of something good, the American team's offense came to fruition.

In the 51st minute, No. 9 Ham of the US team was taking a free kick when the ball hit Wen Lilong's arm.

The referee immediately whistled a penalty kick.

Seeing the referee making such a penalty, the fans immediately gave up.

"What kind of referee is this? Damn it, it's a black whistle!"

"Yes, the handball played by the American team in the first half was called handball, but ours is also called handball?"

Through slow-motion playback, Wen Lilong was facing the incoming ball and turned her head to the side.

Her original intention was to block the ball with her body, but because she didn't aim correctly, the ball hit her elbow before she could put it behind her back.

The ball's change of direction in the blink of an eye immediately drew the referee's whistle.

It is true that this ball has greatly changed the trajectory of the ball, but can the blocking in this case also be called a handball?

The fans at the scene didn't understand.

Ma Yuanan and other coaching staff also couldn’t understand.

Fans online can't understand it even more.

"Fuck, isn't the home whistle too obvious?"

"Maybe this referee was hired by the United States!"

"Oh, who asked us to compete on someone else's territory? This dumb guy has no choice but to admit his loss!"

"Now, we can only watch Gao Hong!"

Facing Ham's shot, although Gao Hong judged the direction correctly, he still failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.

Seeing the team equalize the score, the US coaching bench celebrated with joy.

1 to 1, the double reverse returned to the same starting line again.

What's interesting is that after the American team equalized the score, the comments on the Internet started "denunciation mode" again.

"The Chinese team played a little too small, there were too many short passes!"

"It seems that the team members haven't adapted to the days without naps."

"Isn't this American girl too cruel?"

"The referee is the same, he keeps plotting against us!"

"If the referee hadn't plotted against us, we would have won long ago!"

"Where did Sun Wen go? Why haven't you seen her for so long?"

"Coach Zeng, go and talk to Lao Ma and ask the players to play ball for Sun Wen!"

Seeing that netizens started calling him again, Zeng Zheng stood up, looked around, picked up the camera and made a "click" sound.

Soon, a photo of Sun Wen running between four American defenders was posted online.

"Destroy the Americans!"

"If you should hit the middle, you will win if you hit the middle!"

"The video cannot be seen clearly, and the network is blocked after a while. What should I do? There is no TV!"

"If we play like this, when will we be able to score three goals?"

"Women's football girls, please, we must win!"

...

"Oh, this ball is so dangerous!"

"Oh, Liu Ailing's beam scares me to death."

"Now every household is watching football, but the result is that the lunatic next door is awakened!"

...

"Wen Lilong defended well this time, just give the corner kick!"

"I think the women's football team is better than the men's football team even if they lose!"

"The second half was so close that nothing changed. After the score was tied, it seemed to be the same as the first half!"

...

“It’s true that the enemy’s home court is difficult to beat!”

"This whole thing is a competition of mistakes. Now let's see who makes the fewest mistakes!"

...

"Can the U.S. team's corner kick hit the crossbar directly? This kick is OK! Is it a trick?"

"I was so scared that I almost had a heart attack!"

"Alas, except for Sun Wen's long-range shot, we didn't have any good shots today!"

"If you don't want to watch the stage show, you can watch the Guangdong stage, which has Cantonese commentary."

...

"Do you feel like you can't control the midfield?"

"Is there going to be a replacement?"

"I played too hard, it seemed like it was all about personal performance."

...

"Damn it, Zhang Ouying's kick was too hasty, wasn't it? It shot into the sky."

"HK is just a live broadcast on cableTV. Can anyone please help me broadcast the current situation?"

"Zhang Ouying just shot and masturbated."

"The ball went straight into the stands!"

...

"The American team got a card? What a hypocrite!"

"What's the use of taking cards until now?"

"She should have been punished long ago!"

...

"Have we given up the attack?"

"not sure."

"Coach Zeng is unwilling to take action, and Lao Ma can't come up with any new tricks. I guess I have to take a penalty kick!"

"Oh, it was too conservative."

"Just be conservative, don't forget, we are away from home!"

Although netizens complained, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became high.

These fans who came to the scene to watch the game all supported the women's football team with passion and without any distracting thoughts.

They don't like to comment on skills and tactics, passing and receiving, shooting opportunities, etc. like these fans online.

They only know how to shout when defending, and even more shouting when attacking.

This is also true.

Amid the cheers and cheers of the fans, the women's football girls defended the opponent's attacks time and time again, and also broke through the midfield and attacked the opponent's position time and time again.

Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people.

In the 76th minute, Liu Ailing received the ball in the middle to protect it, and then distributed the ball to the surrounding teammates who were weak in defense.

After receiving the ball, Liu Ying looked up and passed directly.

The ball flew high over the U.S. team's penalty area, passed over the heads of several players, and then dropped rapidly.

boom!

Just when everyone thought the ball would land directly in front of the American team's back post, Sun Wen came out of nowhere.

Head the ball straight into the net.

This time, the Rose Bowl boiled again.

"The ball went in...uh..."

However, before the fans could fully burst out with joy, they discovered that Sun Wen stopped after running two steps after scoring the goal, and then looked around blankly.

"Oh, it's offside!"

Seeing this ball, Zeng Zheng couldn't help but post a post.

From the system's God's perspective, he could clearly see that Sun Wen indeed had a forward-leaning running posture before Liu Ying passed the ball.

It was this posture that put him slightly offside.

According to VAR in the previous life, this is indeed an individual offside!

But in this day and age, it’s impossible to tell the authenticity from the fake with current camera technology.

In other words, it’s okay to referee the ball or not.

But when it comes to scoring goals, it’s the home court of the American team.

The linesman will naturally raise his flag high without hesitation.

Zeng Zheng sighed.

In his opinion, this is another home whistle.

"You have to score like Sun Wen did in the first half!"
