World Cup of Great Powers

"OK, all right."

"Then see you next time."

"I wish you a bright future."

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Zheng was filled with emotions.

As the Asian Cup champion, the top scorer of the Asian Cup, Yang Chen may even win the Asian Footballer of the Year next year.

After returning to Frankfurt, Yang Chen received "key care" from all other clubs except Frankfurt Club.

In the game against Leverkusen that just ended, Yang Chen was replaced after 30 minutes of playing.

To use Yang Chen's description on the phone, "Those guys started ruthlessly attacking me right from the start."

"During a scramble, someone hit me hard on the knee."

"Then I couldn't get up."

After the advice of the Frankfurt team doctor, it is best for Yang Chen to recuperate in the health center for a period of time and receive further examinations.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to Yang Chen, who has just won the best honor in Asia.

In the Asian Cup, Yang Chen made a bold move and rode through the barrier alone.

No one is his enemy whether it is Xiaoli or South Korea.

But back in the more competitive Bundesliga, the overall level of his opponents is a step higher than in the Asian Cup.

Coupled with his reputation in the Asian Cup.

It makes sense to be deliberately targeted by your opponent.

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng also sighed.

Many players who play in Europe have experienced this phenomenon like Yang Chen.

When I returned to compete on a continent where a third world country is located, I won a very high honor.

But once back in the league, the club's status will decline due to back and forth, state adjustments, and the focus of attention from opponents, and even create a vicious cycle.

Asia is too far away from Europe, and the level of Asian football and European football is also too different.

These are realities that cannot be escaped.

Apart from comforting the other person and letting him recover from his injuries, Zeng Zheng couldn't say anything else.

Different from Li Tie, Zhang Xiaorui and others.

Yang Chen's agent is from Schlapner's group, and they are very shady!

They not only eat the club, they also eat the players.

This kind of broker who eats both sides is very good at litigating.

After the Asian Cup, Yang Chen expressed his feelings to Zeng Zheng more than once, hoping to play football under him.

But judging from the contract signed by Yang Chen and his agent, it is estimated that he will have to play until he retires before he can escape the clutches of the other party!

So regarding Yang Chen's transfer, Zeng Zheng couldn't help much.

I just suggest that it is best for him to continue to develop in the Bundesliga.

Even if you can't go to a wealthy club, you still have to ensure your appearance rate in a Bundesliga club.

As for whether to retire in the Bundesliga or return to China to play for two years at the end of his career, that depends on his own thoughts.

Of course, if a Bundesliga club could offer Yang Chen such an honorable contract, Zeng Zheng would not suggest that he come back to "retirement."

Today's Class A no longer needs these veterans to show off!

In addition to Yang Chen, people like Xie Hui, Li Tie, Shao Jiayi and others have all received more playing opportunities in their respective clubs.

Needless to say, Li Tie is Sevilla's main player.

Now that Li Tie has returned with the Olympic bronze medal and the Asian Cup championship, this is undoubtedly a wave of free advertising for Sevilla.

After returning to the team, Li Tie was also the only Chinese player to receive a warm welcome from the club.

Seeing the happy look of Lee Tie wearing a wreath on his head and being kissed on the face by a hot Spanish girl in the video of "Football Night", all the international players who entered the Asian Cup roster this time have the idea of ​​​​going to play abroad.

Especially Qi Hong and Shen Si.

If it hadn't been for the persuasion of the Magic City Club and Xu and Bao's efforts to persuade them to stay, these two boys might have fled to Europe in a hurry.

The other one is Wu Chengying.

Wu Chengying has been playing under Zeng Zheng since 1998, and has been working hard at the left back position.

The reason why he has not gone abroad before is entirely because his partner is in China.

In April this year, Wu Chengying quietly obtained the certificate with this beautiful girl who practiced ballet.

Now that he has won the Asian Cup championship, and has achieved both career and love, it is inevitable that he will consider studying abroad.

Moreover, in an interview with Dragon TV, "Mrs. Wu" said that she strongly supports Wu Chengying to play football abroad.

"As long as there is a way, I will support him getting out."

"If he goes out, I will definitely go out with him."

"Otherwise, who will take care of his life?"

"Mrs. Wu's" openness and generosity have also been praised by many players in the Shenhua circle.

In addition, some former Jianlibao students also approached Zeng Zheng, hoping to go abroad for some experience.

Like Zhang Ran, he thinks it would be good to play football in Brazil.

It was also discussed that he would bring his girlfriend, a former female table tennis champion, to visit him, hoping to have the opportunity to join a Spanish team, even in the Spanish second division.

Huang Yong also called Zeng Zheng during this period and expressed the same thoughts as Zhang Ran.

The dual cup competitions of the Olympic Games and the Asian Cup have created a craze among A-A players to study abroad.

Of course, Zeng Zheng did not support all these requests to study abroad.

After the World Cup, Bamboo Shoes’ first priority is to prepare for the establishment of the Chinese Super League and expand the league.

When the time comes, first, each team will need some local stars to support their appearance;

Second, the level of the Chinese Super League by then will not necessarily be worse than the leagues these players want to go to;

Third, after they go abroad, they may face the embarrassing situation of having no ball to play with.

It is precisely based on these considerations that Zeng Zheng chose to persuade and suppress some of his players who blindly applied to study abroad.

In any case, studying abroad is not about blindly following trends.

Having a ball to play in and growing up in a league that suits you is the most important thing.

...

"Boss Zeng, there is a reporter from Beijing who wants to give you an exclusive interview..."

Not long after he put down the phone, Han Tao walked in and reported.

"Didn't I tell you not to accept interviews from any reporters?"

"But, but, this reporter is holding the brand of Yangyang." Han Tao said aggrievedly.

"Why are you here, Yangyang? What's more? Didn't you have enough fun on the football night a few days ago? Didn't you see that I am so busy?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zeng Zheng waved his hand angrily, "Let him go back and forth from there quickly."

"He can write whatever he likes when he gets back."

"I'm just playing big shots, I'm covering the sky with one hand, I'm being nepotistic, what can he do to me?"

Seeing that Zeng Zheng lost his temper, Han Tao immediately left the room and ordered the reporter to be kicked out.

During these days in Wuhan, reporters gathered around the training ground every day, taking pictures.

Later, they were no longer satisfied with just knocking people from a distance, and they began to think of ways to interview insiders.

Whether you are a player, an assistant coach, a staff member, or even the aunt in the cafeteria, they are all eager to dig out some information from each other that others do not know.

So far, apart from announcing a training list, Bamboo Shoes has not held a press conference.

Because of this, fans and reporters are full of worries about this Asian Youth Championship.

Not long after Han Tao was sent away, the boy came back looking dejected, holding a note in his hand.

After seeing the content on the note, Zeng Zheng also sighed.

No wonder I kept visiting again and again. It turned out that I had found someone to support me.

Zeng Zheng thought about it again and again, and finally compromised: "Tell them that I will hold a press conference before leaving."

"If you have anything you want to ask, just ask it at the meeting."

"Then you can secretly reveal a 'tattletale' to them, saying that I have already prepared for this Asian Youth Championship, and winning against South Korea is no problem."

After hearing this, Han Tao immediately ran back along the same route.

After a while, the reporter from the Yangtze River left Zeng Zheng's office building with a lot of gratitude.

The next day, "Beijing Youth Daily" published an article titled "Coach Zeng Wants to Fight Sinophobia to the End", which made the fans who had just watched the first game of the Football Association Cup excited.

It is not important for a group of young people to defeat South Korea in the youth team, Olympic team, or national team. What is important is that in the future, every group of young people will be able to defeat their opponents in national-level competitions!

...

"Pass the ball, this way!"

"Here, give it!"

On the court, the most shouted thing among the players is to ask their teammates to pass the ball.

To these shouting players, it seems that it is a sin for the ball to stay at someone's feet for one second longer.

The teammates shouted loudly, but for Sun Xiang who was holding the ball, he had his own judgment.

He raised his head and looked at the situation on the field. After tipping the ball to the left and right, he directly moved his legs on the spot and rubbed the ball to the back of the penalty area.

Goalkeeper An Qi looked at the ball flying in the air and backed away step by step.

"mine!"

Dewey roared and jumped up into the air.

But he still underestimated Sun Xiang's pass and it missed the top.

At the same time, Chen Tao, who was following in the penalty area, kicked the ball directly towards the goal.

Just as An Qi turned his head, the ball hit him in the stomach.

Bang!

Zhang Yaokun, who was in front of the goal line, saw this and hurriedly cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

"Okay, An Qi, stop pretending, the ball has been cleared, get up!"

"The coach is still watching from the sidelines!"

"This isn't a competition, are you still lazy?"

Looking at An Qi who was still lying on the ground, the others realized that something was wrong.

At this time, An Qi's 1.9 meter body curled up like a shrimp.

He was covering his stomach with both arms, his face full of pain.

Seeing this, Dewey hurriedly leaned over to check, then shook his head.

"It didn't hurt my stomach..."

"What's it if it's not the stomach?" Yan Song asked curiously.

Dewey looked at Yan Song, his eyes slowly moved downward from his chest, and finally stopped at the position below Yan Song's belly button.

Looking at Dewey's piercing gaze, Yan Song's legs went cold and he subconsciously covered his vitals with his hands.

"Fuck, you can't, can you? Can you kick so accurately?"

Chen Tao also helplessly spread his hands.

He just managed to grab this point in the crowd and already tried his best. Who knows where the kick will go.

Zong Lei, who was on the other side of the court, saw a group of people gathered in front of the opponent's goal, so he gave up the goal and came to the sidelines, picked up a water bottle and rinsed his mouth.

"Lao Yang, what are you doing?"

Yang Jun, who was arranging the water bottles in a circle, muttered without looking up: "An Qi, Zong Lei, draw a circle and curse you..."

Listening to the chaotic discussions among the people around her, An Qi finally raised her head and said slowly: "No! It's not there!"

"Where is that?" Yan Song squatted down and asked curiously.

An Qi lay on her side on the turf, then stretched out her hands and slowly lifted her jersey up.

After lifting the jersey, he slowly pulled down the shorts.

Only then did everyone see clearly.

On Angel's lower abdomen, there was a red circular mark that was incompatible with the surrounding skin color.

Co-writing almost hit the nail on the head!

"Xiao Tao, are you really 15 years old?"

Chen Hao scratched his head and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Yan Song leaned over and stared at An Qi's belly with a serious face.

Seeing Yan Song's appearance, Xu Liang couldn't help but ask: "Million, what are you looking at?"

Yan Song became famous at a young age and earned one million at a young age.

Yan Wanwan's name is also spread among the National Youth Team.

In response to Xu Liang's question, Yan Song pointed at An Qi's abdomen with his index finger and said, "Did you see, this guy's hair is really thick!"

Eric Mu, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, silently exited the group chat after hearing what Yan Song said.

On the side of the court, Chen Jinjiang stood slightly behind Zeng Zheng, and together with Zeng Zheng, he crowned the young man on the court.

"Old Chen, what do you think of that Eric tree?"

What Zeng Zheng is more concerned about these days is Eric Mu's performance.

Others are organized and organized, and almost all of them are selected from a certain echelon through layers of selection.

But Eric Mu is completely airborne.

Talking about football experience.

In addition to playing random football in school since childhood, I have received intensive football training under Xu Hebao this past year.

Logically speaking, if you are signing up for the first time at such an age, Xu Heibao will not be accepted.

However, taking into account Eric Mu's place of origin and Xu and Bao's subsequent observations of Eric Mu and others, the young man was finally kept.

It can be said that Eric Mu's final selection into this batch of Chinese youth teams was entirely due to his own efforts.

The night before the list was released, Zeng Zheng saw the video sent by Xu and Bao through the Internet.

In the video, Eric Mu bounces the ball one hundred times with his left foot.

After seeing this video, Zeng Zheng fulfilled his promise without saying a word and added Eric Mu to the roster for this Asian Youth Championship.

Maybe Eric Mu is not very disciplined on the training ground, maybe his personal behavior in Nissan life is a bit wild, maybe his emotions are not necessarily under control during games.

But in his higher pursuit of football, he has always been strict with himself.

This is one of the reasons why Zeng Zheng made an exception and promoted him to the team.

As for what Xu and Bao said in the video about how hard this kid had trained to hit the 100 goals, Zeng Zheng didn't bother to listen.

Didn't he see many young people who had trained hard over the years?

"Hard! Not ordinary cruel!"

Chen Jingang didn't know what he was thinking of, and he looked frightened.

When he first joined the team, Eric Mu started working with Chang Lin, Cha Kejun and others.

The reason is also very simple, it is simply xenophobia.

After understanding the whole story, Zeng Zheng made a ruthless move.

He directly ordered the three of them to hold hands and run circles on the playground.

10 kilometers down.

The three of them were not only red-faced and out of breath as they ran.

Because we held hands and supported each other throughout this process, we formed a deep friendship.

That's how young people are.

Sometimes they would get into fights just because they glanced at each other, and sometimes they would become lifelong buddies after an inexplicable fight.

In short, since then other team members have gradually accepted Eric Wood.

Although he no longer causes trouble off the court.

But the Eric Mu on the field, whether on his hands or on his feet, is much more ferocious than the other players from a visual perspective.

If it weren't for Zeng Zheng's recovery medicine, I might have suffered a few injuries in the past few days.

"Just be ruthless!" Zeng Zheng nodded.

"Are those players in West Asia ruthless?"

"It's the same when we face the West Asian players."

After hearing this, Chen Jinjiang nodded thoughtfully, "Coach Zeng, what do you mean is that our youth team should recruit more frontier players like Eric Mu?"

Zeng Zheng did not answer, but asked: "Coach Chen, there is a saying among the people recently. I wonder if you have heard it."

"Appreciate further details."

"The future of Chinese football lies in the west!"

"Well... I've heard a little bit about it."

"Coach Chen, what do you think of this?"

It’s hard to answer this question whether Chen Jingang is slapping his mouth or not.

"How should I put it? Western football naturally has the characteristics of Western football."

"Like Chongqing Loncin, under the leadership of Lee Jang-soo, how passionate are they playing this season?"

"There is also Hongta. I have to say that the team led by Coach Qi is still very resilient."

"The same goes for national strength. This season, we succeeded in reaching A, and the title among fans suddenly changed from 'Northwestern Sheep' to 'Northwestern Wolf'."

"The local players in these clubs have very tough playing styles."

"Compared with the clubs in the east, except for the teams in the northeast, there is really no team that can defeat their opponents in a head-on confrontation."

Chen Jingang’s answer was quite satisfactory.

Although he did not answer Zeng Zheng's question directly, he commented on each of the Western Conference teams that are currently outstanding in the First Division.

Just listening to his comments, we can see that Western football has gradually sprouted with the support of the bamboo shoe policy this year.

"Coach Zeng, what do you think?" Chen Jingang asked humbly.

"Our territory is vast and rich in resources."

Zeng Zheng put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.

"We can actually get together players with East Asian and West Asian styles."

“But now, whether it’s bamboo shoes or places, the west side is unconsciously ignored.”

"I don't care if there are any Zheng Zhi factors in this."

"From the perspective of football as a sport alone, this is unscientific."

"Football is the number one sport in the world."

"There is no reason why it should turn into a deformed object with two ends when it comes to our place."

"As for whether the future of Chinese football lies in the west, I don't know."

"But what I know is that only by integrating all types of outstanding football players from all over the country can football truly develop and grow."

"At this stage, it is far from enough to rely solely on teams supported by Liaoning, Guangzhou, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Wuhan, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shandong and other provinces."

"With players selected from these places forming a team, it will not be difficult to reach the World Cup."

"But if we want the Chinese team to advance further in the World Cup, we need outstanding talents selected from places further east, further south, further west, and further north."

"A great man once said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

"This Eric Wood is my first step in integrating talents from all over the country."
