World Cup of Great Powers
Chapter 249 Before the war
"China's G team defeated Carter 3-0, successfully avenging the Battle of Golden State three years ago"
The 3-0 victory made the fans full of confidence.
"I'm just saying, with Coach Zeng here, can we still fail to beat Caterpillar?"
"If you ask me, Coach Zeng should have played in that game at Golden State in 1997. You see, this player used the same Lee Iron, but his performance was completely different under different coaches!"
"Don't think about good things. If it hadn't been for losing to Qatar in 1997, I might still be coaching Da Qi now! If you ask me, we have to thank Qatar for selecting such a good country for us.
Team coach!”
"Yes, if this trend continues, I feel like China's G team might be able to win the Asian Cup!"
"Do you still have feelings? The championship is ours!"
The Asian Cup has entered this stage, and some foreign media have also begun to pay attention to it.
Seeing Team G advancing to the semi-finals, the most emotional person was none other than General Fan.
After the game, reporters from England immediately found General Fan, who had just put on the captain's armband at the Crystal Palace in League One, and interviewed Zeng Zheng and some of his opinions on the prospects of Team G.
General Fan: "I gave up this Asian Cup on my own initiative."
"Actually, Coach Zeng had discussed this with me before the Olympics."
"He told me that in order to give newcomers a chance to practice, there is only one choice between the Olympics and the Asian Cup."
"What I was thinking at the time was that we finally made it to the Olympic Games, so we must not show our cowardice at the Olympics. In addition, we did not qualify for the Olympics in 1992, so I chose the Olympics."
"But looking at it now, we have reached the semi-finals of the Asian Cup and are very likely to win the Asian Cup championship."
"Although I have participated in the Asian Cup, I have not won the Asian Cup championship. I really want to taste the taste of the Asian Cup championship."
"As for there are two games left, it's hard to say who will lose and who will win."
"Small life may not be able to destroy us, and we may not be able to destroy our small life."
"Of course, I have great confidence in Coach Zeng and his teammates."
"After all, it was Coach Zeng who led us to win the Olympic bronze medal."
"Haha, you can't have your cake and eat it too!"
"I have already won the Olympic bronze medal as an over-age player, so don't think about winning the Asian Cup."
"But in my opinion, reaching the semi-finals is the starting point."
"I hope that in the next games, the Chinese G team can continue their efforts and reach a higher level!"
General Fan spoke modestly, but the sadness in his expression could not be concealed.
Through the video, fans saw in front of the camera the captain of the national team who regretted not participating in the Asian Cup with the team.
Once upon a time, the China G team had become so "strong" that it no longer needed this mainstay veteran, and the fans were also sighing.
Afterwards, General Fan briefly commented on the players who appeared.
"...Heizi's performance is still very calm. I feel relieved with him behind me."
"...Xiao Wei (Li Weifeng) already has the air of a general. He will definitely become my successor."
"...Ma's long-range shot was so beautiful. It's hard to imagine that he can still kick that kind of shot now."
"...Yang Chen's strength must be at the national level. Before he became famous, Coach Zeng was very optimistic about him."
After talking a lot, in General Fan's opinion, even Zhou Ning, who was replaced by Zeng Zheng during the halftime break, had certain merits.
General Fan is such a "good old man", either to give Zeng Zheng face, or he really thinks that these team members are really good.
Recalling that in the last Asian Cup, the national captain of the Chinese G team had an argument with Liu Yue on the court. They were completely different.
For this reason, the fans were also sighing.
The fans don’t give orders randomly, the players don’t fight among themselves, and the Chinese G team is finally “professional”!
At the end of the interview, General Fan specifically stated that although Zeng Zheng asked him to focus on club competitions, he would come back immediately as long as the country needed him.
And he plays in England in order to be in better condition to play in the World Cup.
Although these words were not stated explicitly, his desire to come back and play in the world preliminaries was as clear as Sima Zhao's.
Think about it too.
General Fan is 31 this year, how many more years can he play?
Many fans even strongly requested Zeng Zheng to temporarily recruit General Fan to come back to participate in the Asian Cup after reading this interview, so as to fulfill his dream of not winning the Asian Cup.
Of course, the AFC does not allow it.
...
As General Fan said, breaking into the top four is the starting point.
This is not true at all.
After the Chinese G team's match, the results of the other two venues also came out one after another.
Xiaotian defeated Yinlak 4-1, Saudi Arabia defeated Thailand 3-2, and Southern Korea defeated Yinli 2-1.
In addition to the promotion of Xiaotian and Saudi Arabia, which met expectations, the promotion of Southern Dynasty indeed exceeded the expectations of most fans.
Nanchao, which lost to China G team 0-8 in the opening match, actually eliminated Yin L team, the favorite to win this Asian Cup?
You must know that after Nanchao lost, almost all China G fans regarded Team Yin as the imaginary enemy of Team China G to win the championship.
But who would have thought that Yin, who has big-name players such as Ali Daiyin and Madavekia, would fall before the semi-finals.
As a result, all three East Asian countries have entered the semi-finals, leaving only the desert eagle trembling.
Such results also made many countries in West Asia express dissatisfaction.
"Yinli Sports News" believes that it is precisely because the AFC temporarily decided to change the venue and time of the Asian Cup that the schedule of the Yinli players and club was disrupted, which led to the lack of enterprising spirit among the players.
The Lebanese media also took advantage of this to add insult to injury, saying that if Ajulian had not "forced" the change, they, who were supposed to be the hosts, would have at least made it to the quarterfinals.
Yin Loke also said that such a schedule is completely geared towards East Asian teams, and the purpose is to allow East Asian teams to achieve a higher ranking.
Faced with aggressive questions from foreign media, Zhang Jilong gave a strong reply.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! 1: We are Yingya Bamboo Curtain to take over the Asian Cup, and we have also given compensation, everything is legal and compliant.
2: We also faced many difficulties during this temporary takeover, but we overcame them one by one.
Here, Zhang Jilong also presented the site evaluation reports of the three places hosting the Asian Cup, as well as the basic environmental construction of the hotels where each team will stay, all of which have reached or above the international 4-star standard.
It can be said that in taking over the Asian Cup this time, we have done our best from beginning to end.
Three: As for the schedule issue, it is even more nonsense, because the order of the matches after the knockout rounds has been determined long ago, not to mention that the Chinese G team almost eliminated the Southern Dynasty directly in the group stage.
Speaking of which, China G fans would rather see Team Yin advance than see their old enemy occupy a semi-final position.
Zhang Jilong's speech was sonorous and powerful, not only supported by good data, but also supported by Yazhulian.
No matter which angle you look at it, we are the winners in this East-West game.
The Southern Dynasties did rely on their "geographical" advantage to eliminate Team Yin from the competition.
After some simple criticism, those West Asian media no longer focused on the Asian Cup.
For them, moving closer to Europe is the most important thing.
...
After the semi-finals are decided, the schedule will be automatically arranged.
The semi-finals between the Chinese G team and Xiaozili will still be held in Maojiawan, Chengdu. In other words, the Chinese G team only needs to wait for work, while the Xiaozili team will have to come from Guangzhou.
On the other hand, the semi-final between South Korea and Saudi Arabia was scheduled to be held in Guangzhou, which has only hosted one quarter-final venue.
As a result, Southern Korea and Saudi Arabia, both of which played their semifinals in Wuhan, will move to Guangdong.
This is also a "little trick" played by Squadron G as the host.
After experiencing the 1999 Women's World Cup, Zhongg Bamboo Shoes has learned this skill very well!
If Shanghai had not temporarily stepped in to host the finals of this Asian Cup, China G team would not have changed places until the end of the Asian Cup.
Moreover, Shanghai only hosts the finals, not the third or fourth place finals.
So if the Chinese G team loses in the semi-finals, there is still no need to change places.
But in order to win the Asian Cup, going to Shanghai is more in line with everyone’s expectations!
After Xiaori arrived in Maojiawan, he was surrounded by reporters just like the other three teams.
Troussier, who had seen big scenes, was very calm.
He said that he came here this time to compete with the national team led by Zeng Zheng.
"Xiaotian has never defeated Yin Lak in history, but everyone has seen the results and we have made history."
"This is not only because of our outstanding performance in this Asian Cup, but also because Xiaotian Football is currently in a positive and enterprising mentality. Winning is naturally a natural result."
"As for the Sino-Japanese war, the disadvantage is that China's G team has one more day of rest than us, and they are waiting for work. We have never set foot on this football field."
"We have been to Wuhan and Guangzhou before. If the conditions of the football field in Maojiawan are the same as those in the other two places, I think we will adapt to the venue as quickly as possible. After all, such high-quality venue facilities are available throughout Asia.
It’s rare.”
"I know my friend Zeng very well and the Squadron G he leads."
"The winning-loss ratio of a game can only be determined by the game on the field. The coach's work and the quality of the players are also decisive factors."
"In my opinion, the outcome of the match with China's G team is 50% for us."
"But this is the territory of Squadron G, and we must prepare carefully."
Kawaguchi Nokaku, the goalkeeper of the childhood, said: "Judging from the games I have participated in in the past against the Central G team, the Central G team is indeed not an easy team to deal with."
Rookie midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura: The players of the Central G team are tall and have strong ability to control the ball at their feet. Compared with the opponents we have played against before, we cannot get so many opportunities to control the ball.
Japanese and Olympic captain Shinji Ono: I am full of confidence in defeating the Chinese G team, because I came here for revenge. There are many outstanding players in the team now, and I believe that we will be the winner in the end!
In his childhood, striker Nishizawa Akihon even made a bold statement: Team G of China is an acrobatic troupe!
It can be seen that I am extremely confident in my childhood, and there are many reasons for this.
First of all, they are not afraid of the Southern Dynasty. Squadron G thinks that the Southern Dynasty is powerful, but they don't think so.
Secondly, in this Asian Cup, the Chinese team G scored a total of 18 goals, and they also scored a lot in their small days, with 17 goals.
With such a strong attack power, it is inevitable that you will have wild imaginations when you are young.
However, there is also good news for Squadron G.
In this crucial battle between China and Japan, the AFC specially arranged for Singaporean referee Martin to officiate.
Martin was born in 1966, only 4 years older than Zeng Zheng.
Logically speaking, he can be regarded as a junior in the Asian referee community. Compared with Abdullah, who is also from Southeast Asia, Martin is far inferior to him.
However, if the AFC wants to engage in confrontation between East and West Asia, it naturally also needs to train Southeast Asian referees in neutral areas.
The impression given by Southeast Asian referees has not been very good.
In 1981, China participated in the World Cup qualifiers. Kuwait claimed that they had oil and US dollars. The referee of that game happened to be Singaporean Li Guoliang.
With his "help", the Kuwaiti team defeated the Chinese team G.
However, in this Asian Cup, the match between China G and Kuwait was officiated by Martin.
After the game, Martin won praise from the AFC.
Martin is of Chinese descent and still comes to officiate this game.
In the early days, fans weren't worried yet, but domestic fans were getting excited first.
"A referee with Chinese ancestry, tsk tsk tsk, it's hard to say..."
"Oh, I hope he can be gentler."
"Singaporeans have never dealt with us, let alone those of Chinese descent..."
"This Sino-Japanese war is not easy to fight..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For this reason, before the China-Japan battle, some fans specially summarized three reasons why Xiaotian could not win against the Chinese G team.
First: A arrogant soldier will be defeated!
Reason: Although Xiaori is strong, the arrogance they showed after their winning streak was enough to make them fall into the abyss.
Although Troussier has seen the signs, he is deeply in a crisis of trust and is no longer able to kill the players' arrogance.
Second: Team G has too many advantages!
Reason: The host country has not moved for four consecutive games and is waiting for work. It has the superior historical record in the Sino-Japanese War. It just won the bronze medal in the Olympic Games and is in great momentum.
Third: Chinese team G has coach Zeng!
Reason: Do you still need a reason? Coach Zeng is the reason!
...
"Little life? Why are we ever afraid of small life?"
On the training ground of Squadron G, Li Weifeng's lips curled up as if they were 80,000.
When I see a reporter asking about the winner or loser in my childhood, it seems like I am being humiliated.
"It's not me!"
"Since I went to Brazil to follow Mr. Zeng, I have never lost to Xiaoli."
"You asked me if I'm afraid?"
"Isn't that nonsense?"
The reporter was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"That's right, that's right."
“Coach Zeng’s team is never afraid of small days!”
No matter what the other side says, Squadron G is full of momentum, which is always good.
"In the face of the upcoming Sino-Japanese war, what tactics do you think Coach Zeng will use?"
Facing the reporter's second question, Li Weifeng raised his eyebrows.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Come to get information?"
"Tell me, are you an undercover agent sent by the other party?!"
The reporter who was grabbed by Li Weifeng's collar was stunned for a moment.
It took him a second to react, and he quickly threw away the microphone and shouted, "Hero, spare your life."
"It's unfair, it's unfair!"
"I, Old Tang, am an upright Chinese reporter. How could I do that kind of business of selling secrets?"
"General Li, you are so unjust!"
Seeing that the photographers put down their equipment and begged for mercy, Li Weifeng let go of the reporter's collar and coughed lightly.
"Actually, it's not impossible to tell you."
"Go and see what formation Xiaotian plays."
"352!"
"You still want to win against us?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Coach Zeng didn't concede a single goal against 352 in four consecutive games, and even scored 8-0 against Nanchao."
"Why did he win 352 against us when he was a kid?"
"Just because they have smooth coordination in the midfield?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm telling you, even if Nakata comes, it won't work!"
In this Asian Cup, either because I was too confident as a kid or because I didn't want to lose, Hidetoshi Nakata, like Li Jinyu, did not participate with the team.
This is just great.
Let TM, a lottery player, lead the national team, and that's what we can do.
In the past few days, Zeng Zheng has not thought about tea or food.
After Jian Da arranged his tactics and asked Li Hui and Li Huajun to represent him, he just lay in bed in a daze, refusing to accept interviews, even if he came forward with bamboo shoes.
But no matter how much you delay, the ugly daughter-in-law will always have to see her parents.
The game is about to begin, and Zeng Zheng always has something to say when facing the players who are about to go off.
"I haven't seen you in the past few days. Do you miss me?"
"Boss Zeng, have you been thinking about something to kill these days?" Crazy Li Weifeng immediately shouted loudly.
"Yes, Boss Zeng, if you have any secret weapons, use them as soon as possible. I can't wait."
In addition to the young team members, even Ou Chuliang, Ma Mingyu and others looked at him expectantly.
After Zeng Zheng coughed a few times, he said slowly: "You bunch of brats."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Do you need a secret weapon to play a small role?"
"When you get to the court, give me a good kick!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth in advance."
"In this Asian Cup, I was rushing to win the championship from the beginning!"
"Whoever hinders us from winning the championship..."
Having said this, Zeng Zheng paused for a moment.
"Next year's world preliminaries, you can make your own decisions!"
As soon as the words "world preliminaries" came out, the faces of the team members suddenly turned red.
Everyone's blood surged and they jumped up from their chairs.
"Coach Zeng, don't worry, we will definitely win this game!"
"Fuck MLB's little life."
"Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
After igniting the raging anger of the players, Zeng Zheng pushed the locker room door out:
"What are you waiting for?"
"Set off!"
“Ho ho ho!
"
The players roared in unison and rushed out the door.
