World Cup of Great Powers

The National Olympic and National Football Team practiced together, and the Hongta Base attracted the attention of reporters and fans.

However, when Zeng Zheng started practicing, the fans watching were a little confused.

Simple passing and receiving, ordinary hoop games, and regular crosses and shots.

All this seems to be no different from what previous coaches did.

Only the goalkeeper training is somewhat new.

Fill mineral water bottles with sand, and then spread them in three rows along the small penalty area line.

In this way, the ground ball shot will be refracted and changed immediately after hitting the mineral water bottle, making the goalkeeper overwhelmed.

Seeing this, the reporters couldn't help but ask each other in puzzled tones: "What is Coach Zeng doing?"

"Does he want to win games by developing a super goalkeeper?"

...

In addition to the more relaxed skill training classes, Zeng Zheng also increased the time for physical training classes.

On the Zeng Zheng team, although I no longer ran long distances.

But running back and forth is obviously more tiring.

After a while, Yu Genwei was the first to be unable to hold on and fell to the ground.

Zeng Zheng did not punish him for this.

According to what Li Huajun said in an interview: Yu Genwei was selected for Zeng Zheng's team for the first time, and since he is a forward, the initial requirements will be lower than others.

However, if you still do not meet the standard requirements after the training camp date, you will most likely be kicked out of the team.

Think about it too.

More than 20 Olympic team members next door watched eagerly.

The 19-year-old Qu Bo can perform two consecutive jumps, why can’t others?

After everyone completed the return run, there was no time to rest.

Zeng Zheng's whistle sounded again.

"Group of two, catch a pair of short passes!"

Under Zeng Zheng's order, the players started running on the court again.

...

The total training time in the morning and afternoon is only 3 hours.

Many international players who have been training at the club for a whole day still feel relaxed.

However, when they were told that there was still a little theory class in the evening, the corners of many people's mouths that had just been raised drooped again.

"Well, I would rather run two more points on the court than take any Lao Shizi theory class."

"It seems that Coach Zeng is not immune to the rules! I don't know what rules and regulations I have to recite this time."

"I hope Coach Zeng's theory class is not strict."

At 5:30 in the evening, everyone gathered in the screening room after dinner, waiting listlessly for Zeng Zheng to start his class.

However, everyone shut their mouths when they saw that the projection equipment brought by Zeng Zheng could even achieve a 3D effect.

"Oh my God, am I dreaming? Has technology become so advanced?"

"No wonder the Jianglong team has such good results. It turns out that everyone uses this thing in class!"

"Damn it, why do I feel like I'm watching a foreign blockbuster?"

Recalling that the club's coach could only use a small broken blackboard to give him tactics, the players who had never taken Zeng's political theory class couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Shensi, come here."

After her name was called, Shen Si walked forward and stood quietly in front of the projector.

"Look at the situation on the field. According to my tactical layout, if you get the ball here, what will you do next?"

As he spoke, Zeng Zheng had an idea and added a light spot on the court.

Shen Si briefly observed the movement of his teammates, then pointed to the winger on the other side of the court and said, "Give him a long pass?"

Zeng Zheng said nothing.

Instead, the simulation continued according to Shen Si's idea.

On the pitch, the ball was accurately passed to the forward.

However, as soon as the ball hit the ground, two defenders from the defensive team immediately pressed forward.

In the blink of an eye, the forward was forced into the corner of the penalty area with the ball.

In addition to protecting the ball in the corner kick area, the only option is to force the goal from a small angle.

"If it were me, I would have to stay in the dark."

"Yes, didn't Boss Zeng say that this angle is the best for hitting the ground?"

"Do you think it's possible to cut inside and shake these two people away?"

Several frontcourt personnel continued to discuss this situation.

But Zeng Zheng did not give any answer. Instead, he asked Shensi to go back and call a midfielder to come up and answer the question again.

After several simulations, Zeng Zheng played back each result again.

"Everyone has seen that there are 8 results in total. Which result do you think is most likely to result in a goal?"

"Come on, whoever picks the first one raises his hand!"

After 8 rounds of voting, Zhao Junzhe's option of "first controlling the ball, then passing the ball on the ground" was approved by the majority of people.

At this moment, everything on the big screen once again returned to the tactical panel set by Zeng Zheng for the team.

"In the past, we had two major flaws in our offense and defense. Our offense was too fast, and we even lost the ball too quickly, and other players couldn't react at all."

"When defending, we often make unnecessary fouls in our own half, and then give the opponent a fatal free kick."

"These are all connected."

"We have four midfielders. At certain moments, a central defender can move forward and a forward can retreat, so our midfielder number is up to six."

"With so many of our own players in the midfield, what I hope to see is not bloated accumulation and repeated movements, but rather utilizing the limited space as much as possible to form effective ball control."

"Use the collective to control the ball, and then look for offensive opportunities."

"In this way, even if the ball is accidentally lost, the opponent will not quickly form a counterattack."

"I said this, do you understand?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Only then did they discover that Zhao Junzhe's optimal solution actually coincided with Zeng Zheng's tactical arrangement.

There were some things that I didn't quite understand before, but after my own participation in thinking and projection simulation, I suddenly became enlightened.

After one class ended, everyone was still in high spirits and looked forward to the start of the next class.

Combining theory and practice.

When they returned to the court the next day, after repeated reflections, the players understood Zeng Zheng's tactical intentions more and more clearly.

In addition to the lack of tacit understanding between each other, many people have already enlightened.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Considering that there is not much time left before next year’s World Cup Qualifiers, Zeng Zheng asked everyone in the national team to buy a laptop, and then use the lessons Zeng Zheng taught

Copy it back and study it again and again.

In addition, each of the foreign international players Zeng Zheng also sent a copy.

Whether they watch it or not, and whether they learn it or not, is their business.

...

After a week of training, the National Football Team and the National Olympic Games were disbanded on the spot.

After everyone finished playing a round of the league, Zeng Zheng led the players who had been training south to HK to have a friendly match with the HK team to test the results of this week's training.

Except for Xu Yunlong who was injured in the league, all the other 21 players were present.

"Friends in the audience, good evening."

"What is being broadcast for you now is the home team hk football team, facing the Chinese national football team led by Zeng Zheng."

"Although the game is a friendly match, both sides attach great importance to it. The hk team has set up a heavy prize for this game and strives to use the advantage of home court to defeat the Chinese team in order to improve its FIFA ranking."

"The national football team and the HK team have played against each other 14 times in the past 30 years. The national football team won 8 games and the HK team won three games, including the sad "5.19" battle."

"The last time the two teams met was in the 4th Dynasty Cup in 1998. At that time, the national football team defeated the hk team 1-0."

"In tonight's battle, the national football team still has a greater chance of winning than the hk team, but it is not impossible that the battleship built by Zeng Zheng will capsize in the gutter."

"When reporters asked before the game whether the national football team could enter the finals of the 2002 World Cup, Coach Zeng gave a positive answer."

"Coach Zeng, who is full of confidence, has given the fans great confidence."

"We can see that at the Hong Kong Stadium, 8,000 fans have already entered the venue to watch the game."

"The fans have great expectations for Zeng Zheng's first game after becoming the head coach of the national team."

"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!"

In the 3rd minute of the game, Zhao Junzhe's powerful shot from outside the penalty area sounded the clarion call for the national football team's attack.

Then in the 7th minute, Qu Bo made a breakthrough pass from the right. Shen Si, who was outflanked by the left, fell to the ground and shot, but was saved by the outstanding HK goalkeeper Chen Jiaqi.

The hk team formed a counterattack in the 10th minute. Zheng Zhaocong dribbled the ball forward and was caught up by Li Weifeng who made up the position in time and destroyed the ball.

Two minutes later, Qu Bo made a breakthrough pass from the right. Shen Si, who came in from the left, hesitated and missed the chance to shoot.

However, Zhao Junzhe outside the penalty area was very alert and quickly passed the ball back to the penalty area.

Su Maozhen, Qu Shengqing and Shen Si who were on the offside line did not dare to move despite Zeng Zheng's reminder.

Shao Jiayi, the only one who was not offside, stepped forward to receive the ball and then headed the ball.

This time, Qu Shengqing, who was no longer offside, stepped with his right foot and kicked the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

After that, the national football team tried to follow Zeng Zheng's tactical intention and achieve complete possession of the ball in the midfield.

But after all, the tactics were not well understood, the coordination was unfamiliar, and several consecutive mistakes tested the defense led by Li Weifeng and Zhang Minghua.

Fortunately, hk's personal ability was too poor and did not pose a threat to the goal guarded by Ou Chuliang.

However, because hk's overall defensive formation was maintained relatively well, it was not until the 41st minute that the national football team found a good opportunity. Shao Jiayi's long shot penetrated hk's door again.

In the second half, the game changed sides and the hk team replaced its star Ou Weilun.

In the 52nd minute, Ou Weilun's header hit the crossbar and almost scored.

Two minutes later, Ou Weilun received a long pass from his teammate from the backcourt, got out of the way and hit the goal. The ball was thrown to the ground by Ou Chuliang.

During this period, Zeng Zheng replaced 6 players in a row, changing almost all the midfield and frontcourt.

In the 61st minute, the national football team passed the ball into the penalty area through a frontcourt free kick, and Yu Genwei's volley shot hit the ball on the side net.

In the following time, the adjusted national football team began to completely control the game.

In the 65th minute, Li Xiaopeng passed the ball to Li Yi from the left. After the latter's shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, Li Yi quickly stepped forward and shot into the net;

In the 71st minute, another cross from the left came from Li Xiaopeng, but Yu Genwei failed to follow up with any strength;

In the 76th minute, Shao Jiayi got a perfect opportunity to score a single goal, and he got past the HK goalkeeper and scored the ball.

After the score became one-sided, the national football team began to gradually stop playing, but it also created several opportunities.

It wasn't until injury time that Li Yi's beautiful long shot hit the post and the score was fixed at 4-0.

Seeing this result, the fans who had been on tenterhooks finally put their hearts back in their stomachs.

At the press conference after the game, Zeng Zheng spoke eloquently: "The main reason for coming to hk to play a friendly match is to build confidence among the players."

"To be honest, if we don't win more than three games in this game."

"I should have no confidence anymore."
