World Cup of Great Powers

"What did you do last night?"

Zeng Zheng moved his body little by little.

He only remembered that he drank a lot last night, agreed to many things, and relieved a lot of burdens from his heart.

Then, I drank one cup after another and listened to people chattering one sentence after another.

"And then..."

"And then you rolled onto the bed in a daze?"

Thinking of this, Zeng Zheng had a splitting headache.

If you can’t even recall the feeling, then is it a loss or not?

Just when Zeng Zheng removed the arm that was pressing on his chest, Miss Qian turned over in bed, still mumbling in her sleep.

"Haha~"

"When the time comes, you train the youth and I will sell them."

"You are in the Lord, and I am outside."

"Let's work together to sell everyone in the Jianglong team abroad."

"We will call them back when the national team competes."

"Let's see who can beat us..."

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng couldn't help but smile.

Ideals are good.

But how does it sound like human trafficking?

I am a coach, not a trafficker!

To be honest, Zeng Zheng really wouldn't be able to cope with this kind of situation.

I don’t know what the older girl will think when the time comes.

After thinking about it, Zeng Zheng hurriedly dressed up, left a note, and quietly left the room.

The door to the room has just been closed.

Miss Qian's big eyes on the bed were dazzling.

He got up, picked up the warm water that Zeng Zheng had poured to moisten his throat, and then picked up the note left by Zeng Zheng.

"Don't worry, Miss Qian, I will be responsible for everything!"

At the end, Miss Qian couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

"Hmph!"

"Responsible for what? Who wants you to be responsible?"

"Nothing happened to us!"

...

A man dares to act bravely.

Once the words are spoken, Zeng Zheng will not regret it.

After returning to the office, Zeng Zheng immediately called Xu Fang and agreed to the other party's request.

In other words, from this moment on, Zeng Zheng will gradually transfer his power over Jianglong until he becomes a "hands-off boss" who controls the overall direction of the club.

Since he agreed to join the national team, Zeng Zheng cannot miss the upcoming "Return Cup".

At noon that day, Zeng Zheng bought a temporary ticket and flew to Macau.

The first is to examine the abilities of the national football players, and the second is to temporarily hide from Ms. Qian to provide a buffer space for the relationship between the two.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zeng Zheng received a text message on his cell phone.

In this era when even mobile phones are not very popular, only a few people can send text messages to Zeng Zheng.

Looking at the name of the sender, Zeng Zheng's heart was beating fast.

I left a note. Doesn’t that count as a deserter?

"Leaving now?" - Miss Qian.

Zeng Zheng thought about it for a moment, then typed the next line.

"I have something to do temporarily and I am on a business trip. I will accompany you when I am free during the Chinese New Year." - Zeng Zheng.

"Okay."——Ms. Qian.

Seeing the word "good" from the other party, Zeng Zheng's hanging heart was completely put back in his stomach.

...

At this time in previous years, HK's Lunar New Year Cup was the commercial competition that southern fans paid the most attention to.

But this year is special.

Macau returns.

To celebrate, this "Return Cup" between the national team and the Macau team came into being.

This year, Ladd led the national team and did not have many games. Apart from training camps, there were some coaching games and business games.

Although the Macau team is a purely amateur team composed of police, bank clerks and waiters;

However, due to the joining of world-famous players and the guidance of coach Eiji Ueda during his childhood, his strength cannot be underestimated.

Especially in the face of the impact of the "golden bomber" Klinsmann, the precise passing of Baresi, who is "one man in charge", and Dunga, who defends the "world's best defensive midfielder", have challenged the Chinese team's front, middle and back fronts.

They are all severe tests.

Zeng Zheng's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the media.

The media who smelled the smell swarmed around and asked Zeng Zheng like crazy if he would participate in the Asian Cup of the national football team next year.

Zeng Zheng neither affirmed nor denied this.

Xu and Wang have already agreed on this matter, and Ladd is also a southern coach who understands China's national conditions very well.

He cordially invited Zeng Zheng to the sidelines and asked him if there was anything he wanted to know.

The key to a team is not how the coach deploys it, but how the coach brings out the players' abilities.

Zeng Zheng still respects this old man from southern China who has devoted most of his life to Chinese football.

"Mr. Ladd, the main reason I came here this time is to see the defensive ability of the back line, the organizational ability of the midfielder and the offensive ability of the forward."

"You also know that these players are 'appointed' by Zhu Xia, and they may not necessarily suit your and my coaching ideas."

"Through this game, I just want to have a general look and make a preliminary judgment on the players' abilities."

Ladd nodded upon hearing this.

The head coach of the Chinese team does not have the right to choose, but he still understands.

However, he also knew that as the head coach, he only played a transitional role, so he did not delve into this aspect.

Now Zeng Zheng is here.

With Zeng Zheng's character and reputation, it would not surprise him to undergo a major overhaul of the national team.

"In addition, although the two teams are not on the same level."

"But I also wanted to see if they were better suited to a parallel stance or a diamond stance."

Facing Ladd, Zeng Zheng didn't hide anything and basically said what he said.

Ladd nodded after hearing this, turned around and began to direct the game.

After the start, the national team took an absolute advantage on the field and completely controlled the situation on the field.

The obviously weak Macau Stars are still unable to organize an effective offense despite having former superstars such as Klinsmann, Dunga and Baresi joining them.

Being defensive most of the time.

In the first 9 minutes, the national team took advantage of a corner kick opportunity, and Su Maozhen scored with a header, taking the lead.

At the 42nd minute, Ma Mingyu made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and it was the golden-headed old Mao again who leaned over and hit the goal with his head, scoring twice.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team temporarily led 2-0.

There were goals and stars, and the fans in the stands were quite satisfied.

You know, compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao also like football very much.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Every time there is a match of the Chinese team, there will be a Cantonese channel to broadcast it.

After returning this time, they can legitimately support the national team.

"The Chinese team played pretty well!"

During the intermission, several international superstars chatted with each other in front of the courtside photographers.

"The attack was pretty fierce."

“It’s also very targeted.”

On the other hand, Zeng Zheng only recorded a few keywords in his notebook.

"The ball can't be stopped", "Cooperate with the province", "Many mistakes", "Passing without purpose", "Sloppy defense", "Too many anti-aircraft guns", etc.

Ladd couldn't understand it though.

But Jin Zhiyang on the side looked frightened.

Just this one page by Zeng Zheng has completely dismissed this national team from beginning to end!

Shortly after the start of the second half, guest players Klinsmann, Baresi and Dunga of the Macau Stars were replaced.

The Chinese team also made several substitutions in succession.

In the 69th minute, Jintou Laomao, who performed brilliantly in this game, received a pass from "Quick Horse" Xie Feng and broke the net with his header again, completing his personal hat trick.

Towards the end of the game, the Macau team's one-on-one chance was resolved by Ou Chuliang.

In the 91st minute, Xie Feng once again broke through the Macau team's defensive bottom line and made a pass.

Li Bing was ferrying in the penalty area, and Su Maozhen knocked the Macau Stars United goalkeeper's fingers off with a header for the fourth time, locking the score at 4-0.

At the end of the game, there was a round of applause.

Players from both sides came to the sidelines and bowed to the fans.

Taking this opportunity, Jin Zhiyang secretly came to Zeng Zheng and asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Zeng, what do you think of this national team?"

"Xie Feng is still very active."

Zeng Zheng put down his pen and said in a deep voice, "Three of our four goals are related to him."

"Where are the others?" Jin Zhiyang asked reluctantly.

"As for the others, Ma Mingyu and Zhang Minghua's performance is also quite stable."

"What about Su Maozhen? He scored four goals!" Speaking of this, Jin Zhiyang couldn't help but add, "Didn't you think highly of him during the World Cup?"

Zeng Zheng pushed up his sunglasses and replied expressionlessly: "All four of his goals were headers. It's too monotonous."

"And he scores every time because the national team's offense always piles up on the left."

"And I remember that in the 58th minute, he had a chance to tackle an empty goal, but he kicked the ball on the goal frame."

"It's okay to perform in commercial matches with this kind of performance, but I don't know how good it can be in playing other national teams."

"And some of them don't have very good playing styles."

"The referee blew the whistle, but he still got angry."

"It's not like winning a house or land. Players like this are difficult to manage!"

Zeng Zheng's words were so blunt that Jin Zhiyang was really overwhelmed.

Look at the young man in front of you again.

Compared with two years ago, Zeng Zheng still looked as if he was fooled and disowned by his relatives.

But for some reason, Jin Zhiyang always feels like he did when he was young when facing his boss.

After the Return of the Cup, Zeng Zheng went to Shenzhen with the team to inspect a match between the national football team and Yugoslavia United.

It is said to be Yugoslavia United, but in fact no one in the opposing team is a Yugoslavia international, they are all from the Yugoslavia Police Force.

I don’t know if it’s because I want to give the other party face, or if I’m deliberately conserving my strength.

The final score of this game was 1-0.

The national players only won one goal.

Although these two games were both business friendly matches, Zeng Zheng was not without gains.

After returning to Dalian, Zeng Zheng began to build the national team for the millennium.

Bamboo Shoes is also drafting a contract, waiting for an auspicious day to make the relationship between the two parties public.

...

During this period, the Jianglong team received a new capital injection.

Not only did the players collectively move to brand new dormitories, but the Harbin government was also alarmed.

Because the Jianglong team actually wants to raise funds to build a football stadium that belongs to the Jianglong team!

In this regard, the Harbin government is still somewhat reluctant.

After all, the revenue sharing from the provincial stadium is very considerable.

But the reasons put forward by the Jianglong team could not be rejected.

How can an A-A team set up its home court in an open-air stadium that can only accommodate 13,000 people?

One morning.

After a smartly dressed young man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the city government building, the attitude of the Harbin city government suddenly changed 180 degrees.

Not only was a piece of land of approximately 13,000 square meters in Songbei District approved, but the green light was also given, and various documents and printouts were approved in a hurry.

At the same time, the Jianglong Team's office location was also moved to a brand new office building.

And according to reliable sources, the relationships of all Jianglong players from the first team to the second team to the youth training have been transferred to an "artist company" called "Super Star".

For a time, the Jianglong team, which had just held a celebration party, was in panic, and there were even many rumors about "Zeng Zheng selling the club and running away".

However, as news of transfers came one after another, Jianglong fans began to become uneasy.

"Zheng Zhi moved to Eredivisie Eindhoven for 4.5 million, and then returned to Jianglong on loan for half a year?"

"Former Serie A champion Ibrahim Ba was loaned to Jianglong for one season?"

"Discuss that Sun Zhi, Tao Wei and other former Jianlibao generals were bought by Tianjin, Chongqing and Guoan for more than 3 million?"

“South Korea’s Olympic captain Shin Byung-ho is actually participating in the Jianglong team’s physical examination?”

"National goalkeeper Ou Chuliang transferred to Jianglong with a worth of 496W and became the top transfer target in A-A this year?"

"Jianglong are looking to buy former World Footballer George Weah?"

...

This piece of transfer news has shocked Jianglong fans.

It is said that Zeng Zheng ran away with the money. How did the club buy so many stars again?

Let’s just say Zeng Zheng didn’t run away. Why did so many Jianlibao players choose to leave the team?

But no matter what, Jianglong team must have a rich boss who wants to make the club bigger and stronger!

In fact, what fans care about is not who the owner of Jianglong is;

What they really care about is whether Zeng Zheng will still serve as the head coach of Jianglong!

...

Of course, what outsiders don't know is that these player transfers were not initiated by the new club.

A large part of it was planned by Zeng Zheng a long time ago, and the other part also belongs to the players' personal wishes.

The remaining part stems from Gao Hongbo's personal intention to build a team.

Taken together, coupled with the development goals of the Jianglong team, this transfer was made.

During this year, the relationship between Gao Hongbo and the team members was very harmonious.

Zeng Zheng felt relieved when he handed over the team to Gao Hongbo.

The people sent by Miss Qian are good at attracting investment and public relations for the team. It is up to Zeng Zheng to find those talents who are beneficial to the team and the competition one by one.

On the day before New Year's Day, Zeng Zheng was drafting a new batch of national football rosters at the Huayuankou Youth Training Base.

Because there are Asian Cup and Olympic Games to play in the millennium, and the two competitions are very close to each other.

Who is in charge and who is in charge?

Or a combination of both?

Strategic goals must be determined with bamboo shoes.

To this end, Zeng Zheng had to make at least three or more plans and submit them, and indicate the reasons and reasons, and then let Zhu Shoe make the decision.

This is not only a tedious task, but also a test to guess the "leader's mind".

This was Zeng Zheng's biggest headache.

But even if Xu Fang said it, Zeng Zheng could only bite the bullet and think about it bit by bit.

Just when Zeng Zheng's head was about to smoke, the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Zeng? This is the front desk."

A pleasant female voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Zeng, coach Qi Yousheng has arrived and is in the reception room now."

Zeng Zheng said "hmm", hung up the phone and stretched.

Since taking over from Da Qi in 1997, Zeng Zheng has never seen the former national team coach again.

This time, for the first time, the other party followed the procedure and made an appointment to visit him. How could Zeng Zheng not see it?

What's more, during this period, Zeng Zheng wanted to find some domestic football talents to fill the gap when he left the team. In this regard, he was really not as well-connected as Qi Yousheng.

"Tsk tsk, isn't it because Daqi received some rumors and wants to recommend himself to be the head coach of Jianglong team?"

Thinking of this, Zeng Zheng shook his head violently.

"If he could really pull off such a face, it would be hard for me to explain it to Lao Gao."
