World Cup of Great Powers

April 15, Saturday. Leech

Italy, Turin.

Last weekend, the struggling Turin club officially changed hands.

Industrialist Ciminelli bought the club, which was on the verge of relegation, for about $10,000, and his move was welcomed by local fans.

After many years, the Torino team is back in the hands of a true Turin native, which is always a joy.

What's more, Ciminelli is a die-hard fan of the Turin team, and the fans showed great support for him joining the club.

After the change of ownership of the club's property, Arkemo became the new president of the Turin club.

"We need to increase investment in the team and build Turin into a strong team. Even if we are relegated this season, we will come back after the year."

However, the club's purchase and sale did not change the team's current situation.

In the last round of the league, Torino drew with Parma at home and continued to slide into the relegation zone without a win.

This was the first time Torino met Parma at home in Serie A. The record was a win, a draw, and a loss. Their only victory came back in 2016.

In the first half of the game, Turin took the initiative.

But in the second half, Parma replaced Dino Paqiao and Stanic, which changed the result of the game.

For the fans, in addition to the role of the two stars of Parma, the failure of their own star Pechia to score was also the culprit of the team losing 3 points.

On Monday, a group of extreme fans even besieged Pechia Lee while he was driving.

They smashed the rear window with heavy objects and insulted Pechia.

Taking into account various comprehensive factors, the Turin head coach did not arrange for Pechia to play in today's round of games.

His replacement was Chinese player Li Jinyu.

Last season in Serie B, Dayu, who had been playing as a substitute, scored 4 goals and 2 assists.

For a Chinese player who has just landed in the Apennine Peninsula, this is already a perfect answer.

After being promoted to Serie A this season, Li Jinyu continued to shine on the bench.

So far, Li Jinyu has made 15 substitute appearances for Turin in all competitions, contributing 5 goals and 4 assists.

He even made three substitute appearances in rounds 21-23, scoring one goal in each game.

Because of this, the fans did not have much resistance to the head coach's choice.

As of 30 league games ago, Torino ranked fourth from last in the Serie A standings, with 28 points.

The next three teams in the relegation zone are Venice with 25 points, Cagliari with 20 points, and Piacenza with 20 points.

There are still 5 rounds left before the end of the league.

If Turin continues to decline, it is very likely that it will fall into the relegation zone at the last moment and be doomed.

But the opponent in this game is AC Milan, which is ranked third in the standings.

The current Serie A situation is that Lazio and Juventus are the top two teams, and the championship is basically born between the two.

The four teams of Milan, Parma and Roma are competing for the remaining two Champions League spots.

It can be said that both sides fighting today have no reason to give up the game easily.

During the warm-up, most of the Turin players divided into small circles to cooperate with each other and practice stealing, passing and shooting.

…

Li Jinyu appears to be relatively isolated, and only occasionally does someone cooperate with him.

After the game started, Dayu cherished the opportunity to play.

Deft movement and precise passing also show distinctive characteristics. Leech

But the opponent was AC Milan after all. Facing the powerful red and black midfielder, all Dayu's efforts had almost no results.

In the 15th minute, Milan midfielder Ambrosini succeeded in shooting from the edge of the penalty area, rewriting the score to 0-1.

After falling behind by one goal, Torino played even more disorganized.

The midfielder did nothing and could only run blindly behind Milan's attacking players. The defenders also hesitated and often turned danger into danger.

Just when the fans thought Milan would take control of the game and expand the results.

In the 27th minute, Li Jinyu took advantage of a corner kick and won a header in the melee to equalize the score.

Li Jinyu's goal completely disrupted Milan's plan, and the score of 1-1 was maintained until midfield.

In the second half, the team changed sides and played again. Milan, playing away from home, obviously had not yet fully adjusted its state.

At the 67th minute, Brazilian forward Pinga, who was promoted from the youth team, was already warming up on the sidelines.

At this moment, Li Jinyu's left-footed shot from outside the penalty area opened Rossi's door again.

2 to 1, Turin unexpectedly overtook!

Fortunately, in the 78th minute, Milan's Argentine midfielder Gugli got the ball on the edge of the penalty area and turned around to shoot.

The ball went into the net against the uprights to avoid Zaccheroni's embarrassment.

2 to 2, Torino got another valuable point at home! Leech

Different from the draw in the previous game.

The fans are very satisfied with getting 1 point in this game against Milan.

Cagliari, Piacenza and Venice all lost.

With 4 points as insurance, Torino's possibility of staying in Serie A next season is greatly increased.

Li Jinyu, who scored twice in this game, once again became the focus of the media.

Zaccheroni: "It is indeed a pity to only get 1 point, because we underestimated the danger of this Asian attacking midfielder. If I meet an Asian player next time, I will definitely not be as defenseless as in this game.

"

George Weah: "The performance of this Chinese youngster surprised me. At the beginning of this year, I received a transfer application from his original club in China. If there are players of his level there, I think I will consider it at the end of the season.

of." Leech

Galliani: "The attendance of the Turin Stadium has been far ahead in the Italian league from last season to the present, and all this is because there is a large untapped Asian market behind li.li. I think li next season

I shouldn’t reject AC Milan’s offer.”

Turin fans: "Li is our hero! Our hero!

Just when Li Jinyu, who scored twice, grabbed the headlines of "Turin Sports" on behalf of Turin and was preparing to show off his talents in the last few games at the end of the season, a phone call from China changed his attention.

"What?"

"is that true?"

"Then I go back to China?!"

......leech

La Liga, Sevilla.

This season has been more difficult for Sevilla than Turin.

After being promoted to La Liga, they have been ranked at the bottom.

As of the 32nd round of La Liga, Sevilla has only 31 points, ranking last.

The penultimate place is Atletico Madrid with 32 points, followed by Oviedo with 34 points, Real Betis with 36 points, and Racing Santander with 36 points.

…

If Sevilla plays hard to avoid relegation in the remaining 6 games, then even Numancia and Real Sociedad, which have 39 points, will be in danger of being relegated.

Of course, Sevilla has lost too many points this season, and almost all fans in La Liga are not optimistic that he and Atletico Madrid can successfully avoid relegation.

Take a look at some of Sevilla's remaining opponents.

Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Oviedo, Zaragoza, Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.

Except for the final match against Rayo Vallecano, the other opponents are either championship echelons or relegation teams.

How easy is it to win and avoid relegation?

On April 17, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Sevilla challenged Barcelona away.

Due to the fierce battle in the Champions League a few days ago, Barcelona seemed a little tired.

Even so, their strength is still significantly better than the bottom Sevilla team.

In the 19th minute, Dutch forward Kluyinvert received a pass from Figo in the penalty area and scored, helping Barcelona take the lead.

Although they took the lead, Barcelona's defense once again exposed its shortcomings.

Sevilla forward Juan Carlos missed three clear scoring opportunities in the first 30 minutes, which made the fans who came with the team to cheer on the away game extremely dissatisfied.

In the 64th minute of the second half, Juan Carlos missed a good opportunity again.

The head coach of Sevilla couldn't stand it anymore and replaced Carlos with a young forward who had just been promoted from the youth team and had only played one game for the team this season.

This talented youngster injected fresh blood into Sevilla's attacking line after coming on the field.

Whether it was his smart breakthrough, or his rich imagination and broad passing vision, everyone who came to the scene was amazed.

Even Van Gaal wiped his eyes, thinking he saw the Ice Prince Bergkamp.

Hard work pays off.

In the 81st minute, the Sevilla youngster received a long pass from his teammate in the backcourt and stood out from three Barcelona defenders.

With abundant physical strength and impressive speed, he caught up with the ball and took a long stride to pass the last defender Frank DeBoer.

Facing the attacking Arnault, the Sevilla youngster easily succeeded with a shot.

“goooooooooooooooal!

"The Sevilla commentator who came with the team stood up immediately and shouted."

“The goal was scored by Jose Antonio Reyes!

"This is his second appearance since joining the senior team. I didn't expect that he would open up his goal account so quickly."

"I'm sure that Jose's future will be limitless..."

After scoring the goal, teenager Reyes opened his arms and rushed towards his own half.

After dodging teammates who rushed forward one after another, he ran to his own penalty area in one breath and jumped into the arms of a young Asian man with a cabbage head.

"Li, I scored a goal, I scored a goal!

Li Tie's face was also full of excitement, holding Reyes and spinning around in circles.

The ball that Reyes chased just now was kicked out by Li Tie from the backcourt.

Since Sevilla was promoted to the First Division, Lee Tie has become Sevilla's main defensive midfielder.

This season, except for the two absences in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Li Tie basically played every game@Jingjingshuge.

…

The assist just now was the first time he directly participated in a goal since joining Sevilla.

Although there is a suspicion of a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, this does not affect the two young people with a deep friendship embracing each other after scoring against a behemoth like Barcelona.

"José, come on, leave the defense to me, you try to score another goal!"

"No problem, Li, it's up to me! With us here, Sevilla will definitely avoid relegation this season!"

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the final score of this game was fixed at 1-1.

Although they are still at the bottom of the standings, the morale boosted by the away draw with Barcelona has once again ignited Sevilla's hope of relegation.

After the game, Li Tie took the bus back to Seville.

That night, the agent found him.

"What?"

"You didn't lie to me?"

"If you return to China at this time..."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

...

Unlike his two struggling teammates in La Liga and Serie A, Zhang Xiaorui, who competes in the Portuguese Super League, has become Benfica's new star.

With 9 goals and 9 assists in the league, the number of goals scored is second only to the team's top scorer Nuno Gomez.

Benfica's position in the Portuguese Super League is much stronger than Sevilla and Turin.

Definitely the favorite to win the championship.

However, in recent years, the team has not been cautious enough in spending money in the transfer market, and the team has experienced many crises.

Although it won several championships in the early 1990s, it did nothing in the European arena.

With the arrival of the new millennium, Benfica is also holding back its energy to rush to the Portuguese Super League championship.

You know, with Benfica's attributes as a springboard for the giants.

If we don't win the championship this season, it's very likely that all the leading stars will leave next season, causing the team to collapse.

There are currently 5 rounds left in the league, and the top three in the Portuguese Super League are Sporting Lisbon with 65 points, Porto with 63 points, and Benfica with 60 points.

Don't look at the 5-point difference between Benfica and Lisbon, but among the remaining 5 games, there is still one direct duel between the two.

If this game is won, Benfica still hopes to win the championship this season.

The match against Llanises was uneventful.

The score of 3 to 2 seems a bit mysterious, but in fact it was Benfica deliberately conserving their strength in the final stage, which allowed their opponents to take advantage of it.

Zhang Xiaorui still continues his previous fiery state.

In the 39th minute, he scored the second goal of the game to help the team expand the score.

After the game, Zhang Xiaorui came to the sidelines to thank the fans as usual.

Robert Enke took off his gloves and walked over and said softly: "Zhang, you performed well!"

"Thank you, Robert." Because he has the desire to go to Germany to develop, Zhang Xiaorui has a close relationship with the German goalkeeper Robert Enke, who just transferred to the team this season.

"Your German is getting better and better."

"It's just simple words." When saying this sentence, Zhang Xiaorui was obviously more grateful than the previous sentence.

"The next game is a life and death battle. I hope you can still perform like this!"

Looking at Zhang Xiaorui's confused expression, Enke had to change his sentence: "Zhang, come on for the next game!"

"Well, come on!"

Zhang Xiaorui shook his fist fiercely, he was full of confidence in his future.

…

He scored twice in the El Clasico against Porto, but can he score a hat trick in the first-place match against Sporting Lisbon?

When he returned to his residence in the evening, Zhang Xiaorui followed the messages left on the phone and dialed back one by one.

After dialing a domestic long-distance call, Zhang Xiaorui's expression instantly became serious.

"What?"

"Is this done?"

"Okay, then I'll pack up and return home in a few days!"

...

In addition to Li Jinyu, Li Tie, and Zhang Xiaorui, Sun Jihai who plays for Manchester City in the English League, General Fan from Crystal Palace, Yang Chen and Zhou Ning from Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, and Xie Hui from Aachen in the German Bundesliga also all came at almost the same time.

I received a call from China.

After hearing what was said on the phone, all seven of them, without exception, considered putting down the league at hand and preparing to return home.

On April 18, Sun Jihai, who had just finished playing in the league, called General Fan who was also in England.

"Hey, Brother Fan, I heard that Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui have gone back. Have you booked your flight tickets? Do you want me to book them for you?"

On the other side of the phone, General Fan hesitated.

"Xiao Sun, Manchester City is rushing towards the Premier League with all its strength now. Wouldn't it be a bad idea for you to leave at this time?"

"Hey, it's okay, I'm just a substitute, it doesn't matter if I'm with you or not!" Sun Jihai said in a pretentious and relaxed manner.

"Substitute?" General Fan snorted, "The domestic media don't understand, don't I understand? Now Manchester City is a completely different team with you on the right wing without you. When you return to China at this time, the club will definitely give you some shoes.

"Let's leave it like that. I'll go back to China first and check the situation. Anyway, Crystal Palace has no worries about relegation this season and has nothing to pursue."

While the two were discussing, General Fan's other mobile phone, which was specially designed to receive domestic calls, suddenly started to ring.

"Xiao Sun, wait a minute, I'll take a domestic long distance call."

After speaking, General Fan skillfully hung up Sun Jihai's call and pressed the answer button on the other phone.

"Hello?"

"Ah, Coach Zeng, yes, it's me."

"ah?"

"What?" Leech

"Okay, okay, okay..."

"I see."

"Okay, I'll notify him right away."

Hearing the busy signal on the phone, General Fan hurriedly hung up and dialed Sun Jihai's number again.

"Hello, Xiaosun?"

"Ah, I'm here, Brother Fan, what's the matter?" Listening to General Fan's urgent tone, Sun Jihai also noticed something strange.

"You haven't booked your flight tickets yet?"

"Not booked."

"That's good, we don't need to order it."

"What? Not going back?"

"Yes!" General Fan nodded sharply, "The call just now was made by Coach Zeng."

"Boss Zeng? What did he say?"

"He said he didn't know about it at all! Everything was done by bamboo shoes behind the scenes. He told us all to play well in the club and don't worry about the national team. He can handle it."

"Ah? That means that he is now..." Leech

"That's right, Coach Zeng has now taken over the national team and become the national team coach!"

Hearing General Fan's affirmative reply, Sun Jihai was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed.

…

This is not the head coach who put out the fire in 1997.

He is a head coach who has worked his way up step by step from the National Youth and National Olympic Games!

A real head coach!

"Then, why doesn't he let us go back? Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui already..."

"Those two!" General Fan laughed, "They just arrived in Kunming, and they didn't even unload their luggage before they were kicked back by Coach Zeng. The same goes for Li Tie, who didn't leave the airport after getting the news and bought it directly.

Return ticket." Leech

At the same time, in the waiting hall of Kunming Changshui International Airport, Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui were lying on their sides on the bed in the VIP lounge, rubbing their buttocks.

"Alas!" Zhang Xiaorui sighed.

"What the hell is this!"

"If I had known, I would have let that guy Li Tie come back first!"

Kunming is like spring all year round.

Compared with the sudden heavy snowfall in Fushun and the pouring rain after the sandstorm in Jinan, the bright spring scenery in Chuncheng not only created a good mood for Zeng Zheng watching the afternoon game. More importantly, Guozihao’s training at the Hongta training base also

Will unfold in this warm sunshine. Leech

It’s completely different from the media at the beginning of the year.

This time, there was no news about Zeng Zheng taking over as the head coach of the national team.

Even the paparazzi with the most sensitive noses could not smell any clues in the bamboo shoes.

Bamboo Shoes announced the appointment list, and Zeng Zheng nodded to take office.

It is different from the tense situation at the negotiation table last time.

This time, both parties seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and tacitly performed their due "responsibility."

The media, who had not received any news, were naturally excited and secretly lamented that such a big news was wasted.

But in fact, for ordinary fans, this result is what they expect most.

Can Zeng Zheng lead the national team well?

Will he be overwhelmed by the heavy responsibilities of the National Youth, National Olympics, and National Football Team?

All this will take time to answer.

In any case, the recent results and performance of the national team really cannot satisfy all sectors of society.

In this case, it is reasonable for Zhu Xie to "go with the flow" and give "young coaches a chance."

After Zeng Zheng took office, the first thing he announced was to put the National Olympics and the National Football Team together for training.

Firstly, there have been no major competitions in the National Football Team and Olympic Games recently, so there is no need for specialized training;

Second, the National Olympics is the direct echelon of the National Football Team. Putting the two teams together for training can greatly motivate and encourage the players of the two teams;

The third thing is, after all, Zeng Zheng has just taken office. If the relevant people say "no" here, it will slap them in the face.

After leading the national youth team through the Asian Youth Championship qualifiers, Zeng Zheng left the team to Chen Jingang and Li Hui, and came to Kunming first.

Having cooperated before, these two people can now be regarded as Zeng Zheng's team.

As the saying goes, every glory is a blessing, every loss is a loss.

As long as Zeng Zheng leads the team well, there is really no way for others to get past Zeng Zheng and point fingers at the two of them.

"These small buildings are in good repair."

"The last time I came to Kunming, it was still a construction site."

"Looking at it now, it already feels like home."

…

Miss Qian held Zeng Zheng's arm and walked along the country road in the villa area, looking very sweet.

After the last "drunk incident", both of them acquiesced in their relationship with each other.

On weekdays, both parties are busy with their own affairs.

The two of them also cherish the time they spend together because of work.

If you gather less and stay apart more, you will naturally not care about the opinions of the outside world.

"Then do you want to spend money to buy one?" Zeng Zheng waved his hand and said coolly, "Which building do you like? Just tell me!"

"Buying a villa? Are you angry about it?" Miss Qian quirked her eyebrows and secretly smiled.

"Isn't it just a villa? There's nothing you can't afford! Just tell me which one you like."

Miss Qian shook her head and held out three fingers.

"As far as I know, the cost of each small building here is about US$30..."

"Hiss~~~" Leech

Hearing the price, Zeng Zheng took a breath.

The feeling was more painful than when Miss Qian pinched herself last night.

"Is this so expensive?"

"Yes, it's so expensive." Miss Qian raised her eyebrows and rubbed the stubble on Zeng Zheng's cheek with her fingers, "My head coach, with your salary, when can you buy me a villa?"

Zeng Zheng fell silent.

The battle between the National Olympics and the National Football Team removed the last fig leaf of the national team.

Zhu Xie got in touch with Zeng Zheng that night and expressed their views on taking a step back from the negotiations that were suspended last time.

Zeng Zheng was not ignorant of current affairs.

After the Yaqing qualifiers, he basically showed all his trump cards and showed his strength.

In this negotiation, apart from issues of principle, other side issues can be skipped as much as possible.

For example, Zeng Zheng’s salary.

At that time, Shanghai Volkswagen provided Schlappner with a large amount of funds, and his annual salary was no less than 50 marks;

When Horton took office, his annual salary was around US$30;

Although there were no major competitions during Ladd's tenure, his annual salary started at $15.

But this value is only for foreign teachers.

When Qi Yousheng was hired as the head coach of the national team, his salary did not change due to the change in position. He received a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan from the General Administration.

As teaching assistants Chen Xirong and Gu Mingchang received even less, only 1,500 yuan.

In addition to these wages, a training subsidy of 60 yuan per day will be paid during the training period. This is the basic income of a national head coach.

Compared with the salary of the club head coach at the same period, which was as high as 30 yuan, Qi Yousheng is worthy of admiration in this regard.

This time Zeng Zheng took office and followed Qi Misheng's salary route.

But after all, it is the new millennium, and wages have naturally increased. Leech

After deducting five insurances and one housing fund, Zeng Zheng gets 3,872 yuan every month.

During the training period, the head coach of the national team will receive a training subsidy of 100 yuan per day.

Assistant coach Jin Chi and two others do not enjoy the basic salary of Bamboo Shoes because they work as coaches in local clubs.

Their entire income from the national team is only a daily subsidy of 60 yuan during the training period.

With this little money, I can't afford to buy a villa in my lifetime!

For the same head coach, foreign coaches can pay as much as they want, while local coaches only have a salary of two to three thousand.

A senior who once served as the national team coach said bluntly: Coaching the national team is just a gold-plated opportunity, but after having the title of national team coach, no one wants to lead a national team anymore.

…

Now that Zeng Zheng has taken over the national football team, Jin Chi and others are clamoring to return to their original clubs. This is also the reason why.

So despite the fact that Zeng Zheng was a national youth, national Olympic and national football player, doing the work of three people, his salary and benefits were not as good as those of Qi Yousheng back then!

Seeing that Zeng Zheng was dumbfounded by the question, Miss Qian burst into laughter.

Pointing to the three villas on the side, he said: "Don't worry, my head coach, how could I expect to use your salary to buy a villa?"

"I have already bought those three small buildings."

"The real estate certificate says our names are on it!"

Zeng Zheng frowned when he heard this.

He knew that Miss Qian was rich, but if she had money, she wouldn't spend it like this.

It’s okay to buy one building, but what’s the point of buying three?

At this point, Miss Qian spoke up.

"There's nothing I can do, I've been tricked!"

"Routine? Who can trick you, Boss Qian?" Zeng Zheng didn't believe it.

"When I say I was tricked, I mean I was tricked." Miss Qian sighed, "I originally wanted to buy one."

"As soon as the contract was signed, the other two buildings were pledged to me as investment funds."

"What the hell are you doing?" Hearing this, Zeng Zheng was also furious, "The football field we invested in is just for these two houses?"

"There is nothing we can do. After all, this base is owned by the government. They allow us to hold at most 1% of the shares." Miss Qian blinked her big eyes with a look of grievance.

"Fuck!" Zeng Zheng was so angry that he kicked a stone away from the roadside.

At this moment, two idiots, Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui, carrying large bags and small bags, came to Zeng Zheng along the road.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Boss Zeng!" Li Jinyu shouted, "Haha, we are back! Is it fast enough?"

"Boss Zeng, this is..." Zhang Xiaorui said with a bad smile, "Is this the master's wife?"

Looking at the two disciples who suddenly appeared in front of him, Leech

Zeng Zheng was happy at first, and then stunned.

As soon as my mind turned around, I understood the situation instantly.

He immediately stepped forward and took a flying kick.

"Fuck, who asked you two to come back?"

...

That afternoon, Zeng Zheng called Zhu Xie.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

"Uncle Xu, are you and Uncle Wang kidding me?"

"Didn't you see the training rosters for the National Olympics and National Football Team?"

"Why are you inserting people in there?"

"How did we sign the contract?"

"How about I show it to the reporters tomorrow?"

...

Xu Fang was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting with his wife about his family's shortcomings.

"Shufen'er, Xiaonuo is about to graduate, right? How is the job search going?"

"Well, I will graduate in June this year." Mrs. Xu was washing dishes in the kitchen. "The computer science he studied just met their requirements. With Xiao Zeng's help, Jiulang has agreed to hire him as a senior network engineer.

"

"What senior engineer?" Xu Fang looked dissatisfied after hearing this, "What kind of senior engineer can a newly graduated kid be? Can he afford it if something goes wrong? If you ask me, he should start as an intern honestly.

, one step at a time..."

"Hey, Xiao Zeng also means well! Besides, we don't understand computers or anything like that, so we can't help you much, so don't be too stubborn!"

…

"Humph! Today's young people are so ambitious and never keep their feet on the ground..."

Seeing that Xu Fang was going to talk a lot again, Mrs. Xu pointed at the study door and reminded, "Hurry up and answer the phone, don't reveal your secret!"

After Xu Fang heard this, he stood up reluctantly, returned to the study, and picked up the microphone on the desk.

"...Uncle Xu, let me tell you for the last time, I know exactly what team to play, what game to play, and what team members to use."

"There's no need for you to make the decision for me."

"If I really need someone abroad to come back, I will personally call them."

Zeng Zheng was also furious.

For a friendly match, Bamboo Shoes summoned all overseas players back to the country under the guise of their own name.

The euphemistic name is that they are training together for the National Olympics and the National Football Team, and it won’t be a waste to call anyone back.

Isn’t this a real-life version of the boy who cried wolf? Leech

It has been seven years since professionalization, and some people still hold on to the old concept of provincial team sports schools and don't even understand the word "professional player".

"Okay, you've been nagging for almost half an hour. It's time to calm down, right?" Xu Fang looked at the time and said slowly.

"This time, your Uncle Wang did not do the right thing. Uncle Xu apologized to you on his behalf."

"But you have to understand that your Uncle Wang is also doing it for your own good!"

"After all, this is your first friendly match after taking over the national team. What if something goes wrong?"

"You are the one everyone expects!"

"Now the whole country is looking at you!"

"You can't let everyone down, do you understand?"

Listening to the official tone on the other end of the phone, Zeng Zheng became angry.

Good guy!

It is indeed a bamboo mat.

After a few short sentences, I became the one who kept responding.

...

In the evening, Zeng Zheng held a symposium with the assistant coaches at the training base.

When a new coach takes office, he always introduces his ideas for building the national team.

"Everyone is an old acquaintance, and there are no outsiders here."

"Except for the fact that Mr. Ladd is a foreigner, I think with my Mandarin, everyone here doesn't need an interpreter, right?"

After scanning the crowd, Zeng Zheng didn't talk nonsense to anyone.

"If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work."

"What's going on in this position, I believe you all here know better than me."

"I'm here to give you some information."

"Our team formation this time is mainly for next year's World Cup qualifiers and the World Cup the year after that."

"Everyone knows about this World Cup in Japan and South Korea. We in the Asian region fought hard to get 4.5 places."

"Japan and South Korea account for two, leaving only 2.5."

"According to previous years' experience, if we want to qualify directly, we must finish first in the group."

"And this is our goal in the first stage!"

Hearing this, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Immediately, someone raised their hands to ask questions.

"Coach Zeng, what about the Asian Cup?"

Zeng Zheng was delighted when he heard this, "I knew you would ask me this question."

"Asian Cup, there are no requirements."

"In other words, we can definitely use the Asian Cup to train our troops."

"Wow!"

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

…

These experienced veterans of the national brand all looked at Zeng Zheng with disbelief, wondering how he could persuade the people above him to "give up" on the Asian Cup.

Zeng Zheng saw the expressions of these people. After snorting slightly, Zeng Zheng changed the subject.

"Although no target has been given, it is the local Asian Cup after all."

"No matter how hard you train, you won't be able to get out of the group stage, right?"

"Then what kind of World Cup is there?!"

Everyone suddenly realized!

Wearing bamboo shoes together is like "retreating to advance"!

In previous years, I set goals, which seemed very stressful; leech

But in fact, if you think about it, if you don't set a goal, it will actually test the head coach's mental ability to withstand pressure.

If Zeng Zhengyao really dares to be eliminated after three group matches, then he doesn't need to talk to the General Administration, just the fans can hate him to death.

And from what Zeng Zheng said, has the Asian Cup really been snatched from Lebanon?

"Yes, Lebanon is too unsafe. Whether we are the alternate host country of the Asian Cup or a major Asian country, we must shoulder this important responsibility."

"What about the next Asian Cup?" the assistant coach asked again.

"This time we are hosting it for others, next time we will host it on our own initiative, there will be no conflict!"

"Uh-huh!

"leech

This time, there was a round of applause from the audience.

Hosting two Asian Cups in a row, if this is done successfully, we will definitely earn enough face!

After introducing the goals of team building, Zeng Zheng began to convey his team building philosophy to everyone.

"...In my opinion, technology, tactics, body and consciousness are the basic elements for selecting players and forming a team."

"Everyone of you, please rank these four points. Whichever one you think is most important should be ranked first."

A few minutes later, Zeng Zheng took a brief look.

Because of the limitations of the times, coaches have different choices.

Before Schlappner took office, the national team players were generally weak.

At that time, the only way for the local coaches to enhance the team's combat effectiveness was to have the players practice hard physical fitness.

What tactics? Personal footwork?

Everybody stand aside!

As an athlete, you need to improve your physical fitness first.

But now that we have entered the new millennium, Olympic player Zeng Zheng knows everything.

It is completely possible to further improve the team building requirements.

"In my opinion, the first is awareness, then tactics, the third is technique, and finally the body."

"This awareness not only refers to the awareness of running and responding on the football field, but also includes determining the goal of struggle, strengthening ideological unity, etc."

"For example, don't be proud when you are ahead, and don't be discouraged when you are behind. These are all included."

"The team I built, just go out and stop, don't worry about winning or losing, you must have energy and energy!"

Zeng Zheng's decisive attitude was supported by many coaches in the audience.

unity is strength.

Only a team with unified thinking can exert its greatest combat effectiveness. Leech

In the next hour, Zeng Zheng gradually elaborated on his team building philosophy.

From selecting players, to formulating tactics, to how to play and how to play on the court, Zeng Zheng briefly described it all.

The people in the audience were busy writing.

Some want to record everything Zeng Zheng said and report it, while others like Han Tao, Li Huajun and others really want to understand the core concepts of Zeng Zheng's team building.

…

While everyone was thinking about the record, Zeng Zheng asked a small question.

"Han Tao, you have been with me the longest. Let me ask you a question now!"

As the youngest person present, after his name was called by Zeng Zheng, Han Tao immediately put down his pen and stood up with a "squeak" sound.

"What is 1 plus 1?"

"Uh...2?!" Han Tao didn't expect Zeng Zheng to ask such a question, and he felt a little guilty when he answered.

"It is indeed equal to 2 in mathematics. Then let me ask you again, what is 1 plus 1 equal to on the football field?"

As soon as this question came out, the room fell into silence.

After everyone was stunned for a moment, they all focused on Han Tao.

I want to see how well this young man who has been with Zeng Zheng for the longest time understands Zeng Zheng.

But Han Tao thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with an answer.

Upon seeing this, Zeng Zheng no longer made things difficult for him and directly announced his answer.

"In football, 1 plus 1 is always an unknown quantity!"

"It can equal 2, that's the math."

"It can also be greater than 2. We often see that the cooperation of two forwards can mess up the opponent's entire defense line and finally score a goal."

"Of course, we must also be aware that there are times when it is less than 2. Two players who do not have a tacit understanding, or two who are disobedient?

?Players, two players with different ideas, or even two players with gaps, if they work together, the result will often be 1 plus 1 less than 2."

"This has a serious impact on a team and is fatal to a game."

"And these all depend on our coaches' careful observation, careful training, and careful selection on daily basis."

"Just because a certain team member has strong abilities, good connections, and seniority, we cannot let him be the main force."

"You can't just let a player continue to serve as a substitute because he is young, has little experience, and has no background."

"In short, it's just one sentence."

"It's good to have top-notch stars in my team, but without anyone, it can all function normally!"

At this moment, Chi Shangbin suddenly said:

"Coach Zeng, if that's the case, if top players like Sun Jihai and Zhang Xiaorui don't fit your team building philosophy, will you also discard them?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone in the room quickly focused their attention on Zeng Zheng.

This is a problem that is blocked at both ends!

Everyone wants to know Zeng Zheng’s exact answer.

"Coach Chi's question is very good. My answer is..."

"If the most capable player on the team cannot integrate into the team, it must be because the coach has not taught him well!"
