World Cup of Great Powers

"Team members, work harder, hey hey yo; if you want to beat the little rb, hey hey yo..."

Before the game started, fans filled the stadium with familiar chants.

Fan groups from all over the country also hung up banners with local characteristics after taking their seats in the stands.

Unlike other stadiums in China, this football field in Maojiawan is specially used for playing football.

There is no plastic on the outside of the stadium, and the coaching bench is under the stands.

Therefore, the warm atmosphere in the stands is easily transmitted to the players on the field.

This is also one of the things that bamboo shoes are proud of.

In the whole of Asia, it is rare to see such a modern football stadium specially used for playing football!

After winning several games in a row, the fans are now full of confidence and are waiting for Zeng Zheng to quickly lead the team and teach them a lesson about their "disobedience".

When the fans saw the players from both teams taking the field under the leadership of the referee, the cheers at the scene reached their first peak in an instant.

At the same time, the big screen at the scene was also introducing the participating players one after another.

...

"Ma Mingyu!"

"Zhang Minghua!"

"Ou Chuliang!"

...

When the three "veterans" of the national football team came on the field, they won applause from the audience.

Although they have had the same experience four times, in this live atmosphere, the players who walked onto the field could not help but feel excited.

"The country is really prosperous and powerful!"

"How could we have the money to build such a modern football stadium?"

"This high technology is much better than the loudspeakers in our provincial team's playground!"

As the youngest player in the game, Zheng Zhi couldn't help but lowered his head, pinched a handful of dirt and made a sign of the cross on his chest after walking onto the court.

Four games in a row, the same old rules.

442vs352.

Due to the influence of the 1998 World Cup, almost all Asian teams are studying the 352 formation, as if this can keep up with the pace of the world.

But in fact, whether it was Manchester United last year or Real Madrid this year.

The formation they relied on to win the Champions League was 442!

In the past, a large part of the reason why the Chinese team was criticized for imitating others was because they sent a large number of young talents from all over the country to Brazil to learn the 3-5-2 formation for a few years, and then immediately assigned them a British head coach who only knew how to use the 4-4-2 formation.

But after Zeng Zheng's training in this life, whether it is a 3-back or 4-back formation, he can put the right players in the right position to maximize their combat effectiveness.

"The Chinese team lineup is goalkeeper Ou Chuliang."

"The left back is Wu Chengying, the right back is Shu Chang, and the center backs are Li Weifeng and Zhang Minghua."

"The two defensive midfielders are Zheng Zhi and Zhang Ran, and the two forwards are Shen Si and Ma Mingyu."

"On the front line, Yang Chen and Su Mao, who are in excellent condition, have formed a double forward."

"The only unexpected thing about the Chinese team's lineup today is that coach Zeng did not use his capable player Li Tie as the main defensive midfielder, but replaced the young player Zheng Zhi."

"I don't know if this is related to the previous rumors that Lee Tie was injured in the last game against Qatar."

"If this is the case, this will be a big hidden danger for the Chinese team's midfielder position."

"I wonder if the young player Zheng Zhi can make up for the absence of Li Tie."

"In my childhood, Kawaguchi was the goalkeeper."

"The three defenders are Hattori Nohiro, Morioka Ryuzo, and Matsuda Naoki."

"The five midfielders are Hiroshi Naami, Hiroyuki Morishima, Shunsuke Nakamura, Junichi Inamoto, and Tomokazu Akira."

"The two forwards are Nishizawa Akihun and Takahara Naotai."

"Just yesterday, No. 11 midfielder Junhiro Miura, the main midfielder, withdrew from the Asian Cup early due to a waist injury."

"Atsuhiro Miura built the field with breakthroughs from the wing. Not long ago, he also participated in the Sydney Olympics as a representative of the over-age team members."

"Miura Junhiro's early withdrawal is a big loss for Xiaozhi's wing breakthrough attack."

"In addition, forward Atsushi Yanagisawa, who had a severe cold in the early days of the Asian Cup and was almost sent back to the island, has recovered well and has resumed training on the 24th."

"We can see that today he also appeared on the bench wearing the Little League uniform."

"The one who appears in the camera now is the coach Troussier."

"Not long ago, he just signed a contract with Xiaozi Bamboo Shoes until the 2002 World Cup, and successfully passed the crisis of trust."

"This head coach from France is also an old acquaintance of the Chinese team."

"In the 1998 World Cup, the Chinese team led by coach Zeng eliminated the South African team led by Troussier and advanced to the top 16 of the World Cup."

"Since then, the young Asian Youth Team led by Troussier also lost to the Chinese Youth Team led by Coach Zeng in the Asian Youth Championship."

"It can be said that the two are already old enemies."

"This is the first time that Troussier has led the national team to play against the Chinese national team since he came to Asia."

"Let us wait and see who will win!"

As the Chinese reporter expected, Troussier used the stronger and taller Naoki Matsuda to deal with the two tall forwards of the Chinese team.

But can a stronger defender be able to stop it?

At least Zeng Zheng doesn't think so.

[Team tactics: high and high, offside trap, middle attack]

[Hold high and hit lv8: the team is more likely to choose aerial attack.]

[Offside trap lv11: The full-back line stands in front as a whole, and it cooperates more with the running of the central defender]

[Middle attack: It is easier for the whole team to launch an attack from the middle]

What were you most afraid of when you were a kid in football?

Of course it was the Chinese team's header that bombed the ball.

In the past few years, I have been engaged in youth training and vaccination at the same time. There are also strong players like Matsuda Naoki in the team.

But the problem is that Naoki Matsuda is only 183cm tall and weighs only 78kg.

Compared with Yang Chen, who is 185cm tall and weighs 79kg, and Su Maozhen, who is 186cm tall and weighs 80kg, they are far from up to par.

Perhaps in the past few years, under the training of Troussier, the team has become more focused on cooperation, the team has become more cohesive, and the players have become more capable of execution.

However, some natural physical disadvantages cannot be made up for in a short time.

Perhaps in ten or twenty years, the gap between the two teams will gradually be smoothed out in terms of height and weight;

But for Zeng Zheng in 2000, if he didn't take advantage of such a good innate advantage, he would feel sorry for himself.

Amid the cheers and cheers of the fans, Martin blew the whistle to start the game.

Xiaotian took the lead in kicking off the ball.

As soon as the game started, Xiaotian's flexible and technically sophisticated midfield line began to attack the Chinese team.

They took advantage of their group and individual skills to frequently clash, causing the Chinese team to be divided several times.

Seeing Martin constantly awarding set kicks to opponents, the fans in the stands couldn't help but curse.

"Didn't you say that this referee has Chinese ancestry? Why do you keep looking for a small life?"

"He nnd, this ball was also ruled? Is the referee blind? Can't you see that Xiaotian fell down on purpose?"

"Huh! I can't even hit a horse. It's all because of my poor physical condition since I was young!"

"Hey, if Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu are here, playing with technology and breakthroughs, we can't kill them?"

With the numerical advantage in the midfield, the two fullbacks kept pulling wide during the small days and frequently moved left and right in a wide range, making the Chinese team's midfielders appear extremely passive.

Seeing this, the fans couldn't help but miss the two Jianlibao players who were returned to the club by Zeng Zheng.

In the 6th minute, Xiaori got the first corner kick of the game.

Fortunately, the Chinese team defended the high-altitude ball very well and did not cause any danger to the goal.

In the 11th minute, facing the intensive attack of Xiaotian, Shen Si returned to his own half to help defend.

"This ball..."

"Wu Chengying made a mistake when passing the ball!"

In the crowd, Wu Chengying's cross-court ball just reached Shen Si's feet.

Nishizawa Mingxun on the side saw the opportunity for Shensi to catch the ball and turn around, and instantly inserted into the gap between the ball and Shensi, and stuck Shensi behind him.

After blocking Shensi from the ball, Nishizawa Mingxun dribbled the ball straight in.

In the upper left corner of the Chinese team's penalty area, faced with a three-man attack, Zhang Ran and Zheng Zhi easily got away with a fake kick and a real dunk.

Taking advantage of the gap between Zhang Ran and Zheng Zhi who fell over each other, Nishizawa Mingxun continued to walk diagonally towards the middle.

At this time, Zhang Minghua was attracted by Naotai Takahara on the other side. Facing Ou Chuliang's attack, Nishizawa Akira used his left foot to hit a reverse.

"Nishizawa Mingxun..."

"Two people passed..."

"Arrived in front of the restricted area..."

"Lead forward and get out of the way..."

"Hit the door!

"

With the sound of "knock on the door", all the fans' hearts were in their throats.

The shot before the penalty spot flew past Ou Chuliang's toes as he fell to the ground, and was about to fly into the empty goal.

At this moment, Li Weifeng, who was chasing all the way, appeared on the goal line in time, caught up with the ball with a sliding shovel, and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

"Oh my God! This is very dangerous."

"Nishizawa Mingxun almost scored an empty goal."

"Li Weifeng!"

"Li Weifeng saved the Chinese team."

"There was an error in the pass between Wu Chengying and Shen Si. Nishizawa Mingxun dribbled the ball very calmly and passed several Chinese team defenders. In the end, Li Weifeng, who was chasing back, kicked the ball before us.

Get out."

At the goal line, Li Weifeng, who was half-stretched in the goal, was hugged by Ou Chuliang who rushed over before he could get up, and gave him a bite on the head.

Zhang Minghua and other team members also ran back and gave Li Weifeng a thumbs up.

"Weifeng, this ball is so majestic!"

“Beautifully blocked!”

"It's all up to you!"

Seeing the young players sighing in anger, the fans couldn't help but started shouting.

"What's Coach Zeng's strategy today?"

"Isn't there any arrangement for the opening attack?"

"It's been 11 minutes, and we haven't even shot a single shot!"

"I almost scored a goal by Xiao Tian."

"Oh, I thought Coach Zeng would score in the first 10 minutes of the fifth game in a row! I bet a hundred dollars."

"Dude, where did you place your bet?"

"Lottery shop!"

"Does the lottery shop let you bet on this now?"

Different from South Korea, Xiaoli's footwork is more delicate and the team members' cooperation is more tacit.

The disadvantage is that in terms of physical fitness, no South Koreans can compete as well in my childhood.

Although both teams played 352, they faced different situations after the start.

Anyway, we are no worse than our opponents when it comes to technical coordination. Let us first let you run for more than ten minutes to use up your physical energy!

As time passed, after adapting to the opponent's style of play, the Chinese team's attacks increased.

In the 16th minute, Yang Chen took a long shot during the counterattack, but was saved by Kawaguchi Noh.

Seeing that the Chinese team's first shot put the goalkeeper Xiaori into a panic, Huang Jianxiang also cheered loudly.

"Almost!"

"Shoot from Frankfurt Yang Chen."

"This kick almost penetrated the door of my little life."

"It can be seen that Yang Chen is in very good condition today."

Then Shensi fired a corner kick and Kawaguchi was able to throw away the goal alive.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But when I was catching the ball, an accident happened and I lost my hand.

It's a pity that Zheng Zhi, who followed up, failed to grab the first point, and the ball was cleared out of the penalty area by Xiaotian's defender.

"Oh! What a pity this goal is."

"This young man Zheng Zhi just doesn't have the guts to fight."

"If Tie Zi were on the court, he would have fought tooth and nail to hit the ball!"

Hearing the sighs of the fans behind him, Lee Tie's face turned red on the bench.

It's really weird.

When he was on the court, he always scolded him for his poor skills, but he still misses him when he is no longer on the court.

Seeing his teammates around him looking at him, Li Tie blew his hair and said, "Xiao Zhi did a very good job on this ball."

"Tie Zi, can you hold this ball?" Zhao Junzhe asked curiously.

"Put it on? What should I use to hold it up? I don't want my head anymore?"

Can be seen in slow motion.

If he had hit the ball with his head desperately just now, he might have been ripped open by Xiaozhi's shoe spikes.

Naturally, Zeng Zheng would not worry about the gain or loss of this goal like others.

After seeing that Kawaguchi could pick the ball alive and let it go, he immediately grinned and came to the sidelines and shouted loudly.

"Keep going!"

"Hit me higher!"

"Hit Xiaozhi on the top of his head!"

Among the three East Asian countries, South Korean goalkeeper Kim Yong Dae is 1.89 meters tall, while Kawaguchi Noho is the same as Ou Chuliang, only 1.79 meters tall.

Although the Chinese team and Xiaotian both use flexible goalkeepers, Ou Chuliang still has high defenders like General Fan, Zhang Minghua, and Li Weifeng in front of him that he can rely on.

But can Kawaguchi survive?

In most cases, they rely on their own weak body to forcefully pick up high-altitude balls.

It would be strange not to make a mistake!

In the 18th minute, the Chinese team, which gradually regained its rhythm, launched an attack from the center again.

This time, facing the horse’s left and right kicks,

Ningbo Hao couldn't hold it back and tripped the horse to the ground.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded and the Chinese team got a set kick in the frontcourt.

"This is a foul."

"The free kick from this position is good."

"This is a foul from Hiroshi Naami."

"The players also seemed a little nervous during the small days."

Seeing Ma Mingyu standing in front of the ball in person, Huang Jianxiang was full of confidence.

"This location is within shooting range."

"Ma Mingyu is accurately measuring his approach distance."

"Will he go straight for goal?"

“Beep!

"

As the whistle blew, the horse rushed to the ball as fast as possible and made a high arc with its right foot.

"Ah this..."

"Is it a little too high?"

Looking at the ball flying in the air, the players on both sides of the penalty area stopped.

Because the ball was kicked too high!

Many people ran into position, but the ball had not yet fallen.

Kawaguchi can stand on the goal line and wait for the ball to fall slowly.

After losing the run-up, they could only rely on the players to pull up on the spot, and the height advantage was instantly reflected.

Yang Chen 185, Su Maozhen 186, Li Weifeng 182, Zhang Minghua 182, Zheng Zhi 180.

The five top players are all over 1.8 meters tall.

And what about the little days?

Ryuzo Morioka 180, Nohiro Hattori 178, Naoki Matsuda 183, Hiroyuki Morishima 168, Shunsuke Nakamura 178, Hiroshi Naha 177, Nokawa Kawaguchi 179...

Looking into the restricted area of ​​Xiaoli from a distance, the Chinese players in red robes simply stand out from the crowd.

As the ball slowly fell, Yang Chen, who was sandwiched between two players, roared.

The two legs bounced up like yellow springs, and they came to a dry land to pull onions.

Yang Chen's jump at this time was greatly beyond the expectations of Matsuda Naoki and Hattori Nianhiro.

The two young defenders subconsciously leaned back and stared at the Chinese giant soaring into the air with horrified eyes.

boom!

A crisp sound sounded in the Xiaori restricted area.

Yang Chen leaped high in the air and flicked his neck towards the incoming ball, a standard lion's head shake.

Such a close distance.

No matter how fast Kawaguchi reacted, he was still a step too slow.

Before Kawaguchi flew out, the ball plunged into the Xiaori net.

"Wow!

"

The noise instantly ignited the stadium.

Zeng Zheng, who had been waiting impatiently on the sidelines, kept shaking his arms, as if he wanted to vent all the depression in his heart these days.

"That's right, that's right!"

"Just fight like this!"

"He nnd!"

"Blow him to death nd little rb!

"
