World Cup of Great Powers

"Everyone knows that at the end of World War II, Xiao Tian, ​​who was about to be defeated, formed a special force called the Kamikaze in order to save the war situation."

"The significance of the existence of this kind of troops is the same as that of KB elements, which are anti-human."

"Even so, there are still many brainwashed children who fly to commit suicide one after another."

"If there is anything else that deserves praise in Xiaoli, it is their execution ability."

After hearing Zeng Zheng's description, Han Tao muttered to the side: "Compared with execution ability, the fact that you are not afraid of death is more surprising, right?"

"What do you know, kid?" Zeng Zheng slapped Han Tao on the head, "Our soldiers were not afraid of death back then! But are not afraid of death and not afraid of death the same?"

"In my childhood, this nation had too many extreme characteristics."

"How many times have they done something like this when they know it's not possible?"

"What supports them in doing so during this period is execution."

"Just like this game right now."

Zeng Zheng pointed his hand, and everyone saw the young players running towards their own half holding the ball.

"The physical energy reserves in our childhood were not as good as those of us who waited for work. In addition, they have been fighting hard until now, and their physical energy has long been running low."

"Even so, did you see that their formation was broken up? Did you see that their feet were crooked? Did you see that they did not play according to the originally planned tactics?"

When asked by Zeng Zheng, Li Huajun and others thought about the goal they had just conceded.

Although there are personal strength and willpower factors such as Shinji Ono and Hiroshi Naha, in the final analysis, this is a team goal and a tactical victory.

Troussier, who formulated this tactic, was the biggest contributor behind the scenes.

Because it at least proves that this tactic can score goals when facing the Chinese team.

"Then what should we do now?" Li Hui was a little anxious.

There is only one point difference left.

If anyone else scores, the ball may collapse.

"They have the ability to execute, but that doesn't mean they are capable!"

Zeng Zheng snapped his fingers.

"Let's change people too."

"They have already replaced two, but they don't allow us to replace one too!"

"Then Coach Zeng, who should we replace? Li Tie?" Li Huajun asked.

"Brother Jun, you are really loyal to your family." Zeng Zheng smiled slightly, "It is not impossible to replace Li Tie, but it is not the best choice."

"The best choice?" Li Huajun was a little confused. "The defender I changed in my childhood was to prevent our high-altitude ball attack, so the midfielder I changed was the root cause of the goal we just conceded. From this point of view, shouldn't we strengthen the midfielder?

Field defense?”

"It's right to strengthen midfield defense. This is something every coach can think of." Zeng Zheng nodded and pointed at Qu Shengqing who was warming up. "But I won't change the midfielder."

"I want to change the striker!"

forward?

Li Huajun and Li Hui were filled with questions.

Qu Shengqing, who was called to the sidelines by Zeng Zheng, was extremely excited.

He also understands the situation on the court.

Now that the coach has called him here, isn't it just for offense and scoring goals?

ha!

It seems that Coach Zeng still doesn’t intend to let go of his little life like this!

"Boss Zeng, what are your orders?"

"When you go up, sit a little further back."

"Stand between Shen Si and Yang Chen."

"When defending, it doesn't matter if you work harder and run back to the penalty area."

"When attacking, just use your strengths."

"Just remember one thing, don't skimp on your physical fitness, don't save your energy! I don't want to play overtime with a little RB."

"do you understand?"

At this moment, a football fell from the sky.

Shunsuke Nakamura, who was desperately chasing the ball, looked at the white line on the sidelines and began to slow down. Even if the ball could fly, he would not be able to catch it.

Facing the incoming ball, before Qu Shengqing, who was lowering his head to listen to the tactics, could react, Zeng Zheng stretched out his right foot and held the ball firmly on his toes.

The moment the leather shoes collided with the football, Zeng Zheng's calf moved back, just in time to relieve the force of the football's impact.

What impressed the fans and Nakamura was that the ball did not bounce when it landed on Zeng Zheng's leather shoes, but paused and then landed safely.

At the same time, Zeng Zheng retracted his right leg and quickly stepped on the ball under his feet.

"Hiss~~~"

"Huh~~~"

"Wow!!!"

Zeng Zheng stopped the ball steadily, causing the fans at the scene to take a breath and exclaim again.

"Just remember it and go play."

Zeng Zheng patted Qu Shengqing's shoulder and pushed him towards the fourth official.

"Ah NO..." Shunsuke Nakamura, who stopped in front of Zeng Zheng, put on a humble posture and pointed carefully at the ball at Zeng Zheng's feet.

"Nakamura-san, right? We need to replace someone, please wait a moment."

With that said, Zeng Zheng pointed to the fourth official who had just raised a sign on the sidelines. Then he tipped his toes and gave the ball to the opponent.

After receiving the ball, Shunsuke Nakamura instinctively said "Arigado", then hugged the ball and stood obediently next to Zeng Zheng, waiting for the Chinese team to make a substitution.

At this time, Huang Jianxiang, who had recovered from his shock, started to praise him at the top of his lungs.

"Whoa oh!"

"Did everyone see that stop just now?"

“I didn’t expect Coach Zeng to have such a skill!”

The fans at the scene were also extremely excited.

Because the loss of the ball just now made many people nervous, their hearts returned to their stomachs again.

"It's true that a strong general has no weak soldiers!"

"As expected of Coach Zeng, I didn't expect that his foot skills are so good!"

"How can we teach students like Zhang Xiaorui, Li Jinyu, and Li Tie?"

"Yeah, no wonder no matter how tough the tough guy is, he has to give in when meeting Coach Zeng. It turns out that Coach Zeng is also hiding his secrets!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, those are leather shoes... Judging from my 20 years of experience watching football, Coach Zeng is at the level of Beckenbauer at last!"

While the fans were discussing, the Chinese team also completed substitutions.

"The Chinese team replaced a forward."

"The replacement is Qu Shengqing, who will replace Su Maozhen who completed a wonderful assist in the first half."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even Huang Jianxiang, who has been commentating for many years, did not understand Zeng Zheng's substitution.

But he was smart enough not to bring up the subject.

He knew that Zeng Zheng would explain everything through actual combat.

On the other side, Troussier frowned, and Assistant Coach Kameda looked panicked.

"Mr. Omar, what does this substitution of the Chinese team mean?"

"Aren't they going to keep this score until the end?"

"Do they still want to keep scoring goals?"

"Baga, it's so abominable!"

I thought that Nakamura Shunsuke's goal would make the Chinese team's formation more restrained, but I didn't expect that Zeng Zheng would be replaced by a forward, which made Assistant Coach Kameda panic.

After hearing what the interpreter said, Troussier did not answer immediately. As an old rival of Zeng Zheng, he did not believe that Zeng Zheng just wanted to use a more physically capable forward to expand the score.

Soon, the coaches in Xiaotian saw the role Qu Shengqing played after he came on the court.

With Qu Shengqing's retreat to help defend, although the Chinese team's first line of press made by the forwards in the frontcourt naturally broke, the thickness of the midfield defense increased by an unknown amount.

Although Shinji Ono's pulling and ball control can still play a role, whether it is the transfer of long passes in the early days or the connection of short passes, it has increased several levels of difficulty.

As a result, the Xiaori players had to work twice or three times as hard as before to barely hit the ball in front of the Chinese team's penalty area and then look for a good shot.

But as a result, the team members' already insufficient physical fitness became even worse again.

"As expected of Coach Zeng!"

Troussier nodded, "Instead of replacing a defensive midfielder with more energy, why not just add a defensive player to the midfielder?"

Looking at the Chinese team, which was about to reach 451, Troussier had to turn his attention to the bench again.

It's the last substitution spot.

Should I wait until the end of the game?

Do you need to have a backup option for those who are injured or exhausted?

Troussier looked at the 3-2 scoreboard again and shook his head.

Before the score is tied, any preparations for injuries, physical exhaustion, overtime, and penalty shootouts are all nonsense.

What Xiaotian has to do now is to equalize the score as quickly as possible!

As for whether to go all out after the score is tied or not to retreat, it depends on the actual situation on the field.

After two consecutive unsuccessful attacks in small days, Troussier decisively chose to play the last substitution card.

"Oh oh? There's been another change in my childhood!"

"The one who replaced him was Akihon Nishizawa, the hero of the goal, and he was replaced by Tatsuhiko Kubo who currently plays for the J-League Hiroshima Three Arrows."

"In the past season, Kubo Tatsuhiko played 25 times for the Hiroshima Three Arrows and scored 13 goals. He was affectionately called the 'cold-faced killer' by local fans."

"Cold-faced killer?" Upon hearing this title, Shao Jia whispered: "Isn't that Zhang Yuheng?"

Zhao Junzhe rolled his eyes, "Stop it, you fake fan! Lao Hei is the jade-faced killer!"

"Zhao Junzhe, come here!"

As soon as he finished complaining, Zhao Junzhe was called to the sidelines by Li Hui.

Zeng Zheng pressed his shoulder, pointed to the gap in front of Wu Chengying and said, "That position is a good one to nip in the bud. Do you understand?"

"I know, Boss Zeng!"

Facing Troussier's third substitution adjustment, Zeng Zheng responded immediately this time.

Although Xiaotian played 352, according to the tradition of Xiaotian, there has always been a "second forward" in the lineup.

In other words, when attacking, there is often one more forward than in the formation.

In this regard, Troussier does not need to replace the forward with a midfielder, but can directly replace the forward who lacks physical fitness.

Regarding Kubo Tatsuhiko's game-breaking offensive ability, Zeng Zheng still chose to strengthen the midfield defense, leaving the opponent with no shooting ability, but unable to create shooting opportunities.

Cutting off threats at the source is Zeng Zhengyi's habitual approach.

After playing three substitution cards, Troussier turned around and returned to the coaching bench to sit down.

Assistant coach Kameda immediately took over his command and continued to call "baga baga" from the sidelines.

Zeng Zheng's two substitutions were just right, not only preventing the opponent from taking advantage of the power after scoring the goal, but also strengthening the midfield defense, making Xiaori's offense more difficult.

Correspondingly, the effect of Troussier's substitutions has become minimal.

The situation in the first half reappeared on the court - the Chinese team attacked two or three times on average, and only barely got one chance to counterattack on a small day, and may not be able to attack the Chinese team's penalty area.

The most important thing is that although Zeng Zheng's two substitutions and adjustments were mainly aimed at opponents and defense, they still did not weaken the Chinese team's offensive capabilities.

Qu Shengqing can run, break, break and shoot. In terms of dribbling and shooting skills, he is even better than Su Maozhen.

Although Zhao Junzhe's left foot is not as accurate as Shen Si's, his overall view and defensive ability are not what Shen Si has.

Seeing this, the Chinese coaching staff finally understood why Zeng Zheng was not nervous at all after the Chinese team conceded another goal.

It turned out that Zeng Zheng had already predicted that even if the goal was scored, it would be the final struggle of his little life.

It’s just a return to the light!

Time passed by minute by second, and the game soon came to the end.

Looking at the score that "will remain unchanged for ten thousand years", I finally became anxious in my little life.

"Mr. Omar, even including stoppage time, the game will end in 5 minutes."

"The score is still one goal away. Is there anything else you can do?"

Faced with the translator's hurried inquiry, Troussier calmly took a sip of the mountain spring water produced and sold locally in Maojiawan, and then said unhurriedly: "Mr. Kameda's command is already very good."

"I don't speak Japanese, and the effect of on-the-spot command is not as good as his."

"At this moment, it's up to the players on the field."

When the translator heard this, he also sighed and relayed Troussier's words to Kameda exactly as they were.

"Baga!" Kameda cursed loudly.

"I knew he would say that!"

"These white guys from Europe will never help us sincerely!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying that, Kameda pulled out the baton from his waist, stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Attack, attack! Give me a duck, give me a duck!"

!!”

Hearing Kameda's enthusiastic shouting, several elderly fans in the stands behind the Xiaori coach's bench could not sit still for an instant.

He suddenly jumped up from his seat and took aim with his gun.

Seeing this, the children on the side quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "Dad, uncle, don't be excited, don't be excited."

"Xiao Ri is going to commit suicide, Xiao Ri is going to commit suicide!"

An old man grinned when he heard this, "Are they going to commit seppuku?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to commit seppuku, I'm going to commit seppuku."

"Huh, that's pretty much it!"

After hearing this, another old man put down the drumstick in his hand, and he was almost about to use it as a machete and rush out.

At this time, the physical fitness of the young players on the court has reached the point where they are exhausted.

Hearing Kameda's shout, everyone cheered up and rushed towards the Chinese team's half.

At this moment, Wu Chengying, who was under too much defensive pressure, had no choice but to give the opponent a corner kick.

Seeing that it was a corner kick, Zeng Zheng, who was about to make a substitution to hinder his opponent's chances, shook his head.

When the opponent takes a corner kick, it is better not to make any substitutions.

This time, in order to tie the score, even Kawaguchi Nokatsu gave up and participated in the fight for the top spot.

Ryuzo Morioka was left alone in the midfield.

Because his own goalkeeper also rushed into the penalty area, and the Chinese team was strictly defensive, Shunsuke Nakamura did not choose a tactical corner kick this time and kicked the ball directly into the Chinese team's small penalty area.

Facing the incoming ball, the Chinese team's defensive players in the penalty area were ready.

In the absence of General Fan, black man Zhang Minghua took on the important task of leading the rear defense.

Watching the ball continue to fall, at the critical moment, Zhang Minghua jumped up high, forced himself in front of Kubo Tatsuhiko, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

However, before the ball even hit the ground, it was kicked back by the Xiaori players.

This time the target was Naotai Takahara who was at the back point.

Similarly, Li Weifeng, who was focused at 120 degrees, made a precise tackle at the critical moment. As the ball was rolling, he fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle to intercept the ball.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhi rushed forward to chase the ball.

Just when everyone thought he was going to kick the ball directly out of the sideline, Zheng Zhi, who was chasing the ball, actually made a 180-degree turn and kicked the ball high into the frontcourt.

Whoosh!

The ball soared into the sky, attracting the attention of all fans and cameras.

At this moment, the fans were surprised to find that Qu Shengqing had already crossed the half court at some point and was chasing the ball two lengths ahead of Ryuzo Morioka.

"Oh my god, when did the fat man rush out?"

"Isn't the fat man too fast?"

"Qu Shengqing! Qu Shengqing! Qu Shengqing!!!"

What's more, it's the shouts and chants of Chinese fans.

Qu Shengqing rushed to the falling ball and pushed the falling ball forward with one kick.

At the same time, he spread his arms and swooped across the half court like a glider.

The backcourt was empty in the early days. Except for Morioka Ryuzo who was desperately chasing back, there was no goalkeeper.

It is true that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.

Isn't Qu Shengqing's raised arms an early celebration of a goal?

When Qu Shengqing caught up with the rolling football again, he had already rushed to the line of Xiaori's penalty area.

Looking at the cheering fans who stood up behind the goal and raised their arms, Qu Shengqing pushed lightly with his right foot.

The slowly advancing ball suddenly accelerated and flew into the net.

"Wow!!!"

At this moment, the joy that had been accumulated for a long time finally burst out.

Maojiawan Stadium once again fell into a sea of ​​joy.

"The ball went in!"

"The ball went in!"

"The ball has been scored!!!" Huang Jianxiang shouted three times in succession.

"It was Qu-Sheng-Qing who scored the goal!!"

"At the last moment of the game, Qu Shengqing once again performed a scene of riding a thousand miles alone for us."

"This is a must-goal!"

"Facing the empty door of his small life, Qu Shengqing achieved it in one fell swoop!"

"4 to 2!"

"The Chinese team scored another goal!"

"Qu Shengqing completely killed the game!!!"

Amid the cheers of Huang Jianxiang and the Chinese fans, Morioka Ryuzo, who chased all the way to the top of the arc, fell to the ground and hid his face in his hands.

All the other members of the team stood with their waists clasped and their heads bowed in silence.

After scoring the goal, Qu Shengqing was so excited that he forgot all about himself.

He took off his shirt, held it in his hand as a flag, and walked around the stadium cheering.

Looking at the Chinese players running past while waving their jerseys, Assistant Coach Kameda let go of his hand and the baton in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, Kameda's bent legs also knelt on the land.

It's over, everything is over.

Qu Shengqing's goal brought the game to an early end and warmed up the joyful atmosphere for three minutes in advance.

Three minutes later, facing the players from both sides who had no intention of fighting again, the referee Martin from Singapore blew the whistle to end the game with two short and one long tones.

The moment the whistle blew, everyone on the Chinese coaching bench who couldn't wait to rush into the stadium immediately.

Everyone raised their arms and embraced each other enthusiastically.

Cheers, screams, and approvals were endless.

"We can go to the Magic City!" Huang Jianxiang was also very excited.

"We beat Team RB once again!"

"We reached the finals of this Asian Cup!"

Asian Cup Final!

"16 years!"

"It's been 16 years!"

"We reached the Asian Cup final again!"

Li Hui and Li Huajun hugged each other and fell to the ground, crying in each other's arms.

In 1984, they also reached the Asian Cup finals with the team.

But in the finals, the Chinese team lost to Saudi Arabia 0-2 and returned home in despair.

The venue for the final that time was still the National Stadium in Singapore.

So when they saw the Chinese team reaching the Asian Cup finals again, the players and coaches who had experienced that finals all burst into tears at the same time.

"Dear Qi, I have to say that you made the right choice when you handed over the coaching position to Xiao Zeng!" Zeng Xuelin, the head coach at that time, sighed at his assistant coach in the stands.

Qi Yousheng smiled bitterly, "If I knew this kid had such ability, I wouldn't have taken him to a single world preliminaries!"
