World Cup of Great Powers

Japan and South Korea lost, Iran lost.

Neither Saudi Arabia nor Iraq.

After the Chinese Youth Team won the Asian Youth Championship, all Asia raised a common question.

Who else can compete against the Chinese team?

From the Olympic Games to the Asian Cup, and then from the Asian Cup to the Asian Youth Championship.

The Chinese team achieved great success on all three fronts and in three battles.

While it has brought various honors to Chinese football, it has also given Asian football a new topic.

That's how to fight against the Chinese team led by Zeng Zheng.

An adult team with coordination, skills, and experience cannot beat them;

Even a youth team that has physical strength, aggressiveness, and hard work can't beat them.

Especially South Korea.

Is it time to give up the title of Asia’s hegemon?

In the interview, Zeng Zheng showed that he didn't care about these titles.

"It's just an ordinary Asian Youth Championship. We already won this title in the last Asian Youth Championship."

"In my opinion, it is a very short-sighted behavior to keep focusing on Asia."

"Rather than just discussing who is the dominant player in Asia, we should put more effort into improving the overall level of Asian football."

"Don't forget, compared with the world's top teams, Asian football is just a sideshow."

Wow~~~

Faced with Zeng Zheng's calm answer, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar.

They all wrote the words, "The Chinese team has no rivals in Asia, and Coach Zeng has set his sights on the world."

One family is happy and another is sad.

In the Asian Youth Championship, while Zeng Zheng won all the honors, he also kicked out several opponents.

These include South Korea, Little Japan and Iran teams.

Even the AFC used a burst of red to congratulate the Chinese youth team on their successful defense of the title.

But these three bamboo shoes still decisively dismissed the coaches of their youth teams.

To use North Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" to describe it, it is "... Iran, Japan and South Korea are still maintaining their superficial glory. If they can't win, they change coaches. This seems to be their last resort to maintain their dignity..."

In addition, Singapore's "Straits Times" also published an article titled "China Team, a Problem for All of Asia."

The first half of the article mainly lists the series of championships Zeng Zheng has won since his debut, as well as his record of battles with strong teams in Asia.

Fans were surprised to find that in these matches, Zeng Zheng almost never lost!

Even if it is a tie, it can be understood as preserving strength in the group stage.

After entering the knockout round, the Chinese team all made great progress and finally won the championship.

There is also a more important data that shows that the Chinese team has almost never played a penalty shootout in the knockout rounds.

This is terrible!

This means that Zeng Zheng's team can always resolve the battle within 120 minutes.

To dig deeper, as the coach of the Chinese team, Zeng Zheng understands the opponents better; the players also have a better fighting spirit.

Only when a strong team plays against a weak team can they play calmly and with ease.

And once the penalty shootout occurs.

That at least means that even if the weak party is weak, it is not too weak.

After seeing the Chinese team’s winning rate as high as 75% in the past three years.

The fans were silent.

If we were more precise and only counted games in which Zeng Zheng was the head coach, the winning rate would be over 83%.

This also includes competitions with top teams from all over the world, such as the World Cup and Olympic Games.

After making these "shocking" data public, the Straits Times raised two pointed questions.

The first question is how other Asian teams will deal with the Chinese team in the future.

In this case, the Chinese team will inevitably be studied under the microscope by its opponents before the World Cup.

So the second question is, how long will the Chinese team's strength last?

Is it a flash in the pan, or is it enduring?

In this regard, South Korea's "First Day Sports News" provided a very clear direction.

"If you want to beat the Chinese team, beat Zeng Zheng first!"

Obvious.

For South Korea, Zeng Zheng is the "chief culprit" who broke the Korean phobia!

Before Zeng Zheng's debut.

Whenever there is a war between China and South Korea, both South Korean coaches and players will pretend to be humble in front of reporters and say that they are actually under a lot of pressure due to "Korean phobia".

It's better now.

Every time I meet the Chinese team, a lot of sleazy media from Asian countries come forward to ask if they will be affected by "Sinophobia"?

What's more, there are people whose pronunciation is not standard and pronounce "fear in the middle" as "fear in the past".

But whether it's "fearing China" or "fearing the past", the meaning is the same.

Ever since the Chinese team conceded eight goals in the Asian Cup, South Korea's domestic football community has been filled with complaints.

It was fine when the Asian Youth Championship didn't start.

These young soldiers clamored to avenge their predecessors.

Now the Asian Youth Championship is over.

They lost to the Chinese Youth Team in the first game.

In the end, I didn't even get a ticket for the World Youth Championship, so I returned home in despair.

How can the people of South Korea accept such a contrast?

So in the end, after their expert analysis, they all agreed that the cause of all this was Zeng Zheng.

As long as we find a way to restrain Zeng Zheng, we can defeat the Chinese team.

If you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

But looking further down, it becomes a bit out of place.

The article did not analyze the pros and cons of Zeng Zheng's usual 442 from a professional perspective, nor did it analyze the characteristics of the Chinese team from a player's perspective.

On the contrary, the mischievous people came up with a few unofficial histories from nowhere, and after a lot of random discussions, they finally came up with evidence that Zeng Zheng's ancestor was a Korean immigrant.

In other words, Zeng Zheng was labeled as a certain "Korean".

And they are not Koreans in China, nor are they Koreans in North Korea.

This ridiculous article is still popular among many South Korean youths.

It became so popular that it spread throughout Asia and became the laughing stock of fans across Asia.

In contrast, the "Asahi Shimbun" of Xiaozhi was very pertinent in its expression.

In their view, the reason why the Chinese team is strong is entirely the result of the joint efforts of their coaches, domestic leagues and youth training.

Zeng Zheng has someone to choose from, and the team has someone to use.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the key.

Comparing the differences in youth training between China and Japan, it seems that Xiaoli is doing better.

Popularity, there was a high school league in my childhood;

Due to the importance, hundreds of young players go to Brazil every year to be trainees for two and a half years.

It seems that Xiaoli is still ahead of China in terms of talent training.

So where is the difference?

"Asahi Shimbun" summarized several points.

The first reason is the population base.

No matter how popular football is in childhood, China's population base is there.

In the last Olympic qualifiers, Zeng Zheng selected a Korean from Jilin;

In this Asian Youth Championship, Zeng Zheng brought another Uighur from the border area.

If Zeng Zheng had been looking at the whole country to select talents, Xiaozhi's talent pool would really be no match for him.

The second reason is coaching.

No matter how famous Troussier is, he is still handsome;

No matter how unknown Zeng Zheng was when he debuted, he was still a local leader.

It’s not that local handsome guys are better than foreign handsome guys.

It's that the local coach knows his team better than the foreign coach.

Looking at the world's top teams, if a local coach leads his own team, the effect will definitely be better than that of a foreign coach.

Beckenbauer was born in Munich. West Germany won the World Cup in 1990;

Pereira was born in Rio de Janeiro and led Brazil to the World Cup in 1994;

Jacquet was born in Loire and led France to the World Cup in 1998.

Doesn't this explain anything?

If two coaches have the same strength, then the team led by the local coach must be better than the team led by the foreign coach!

There is no doubt about this.

The third difference is that Xiaoli set his sights on Haigen spring training.

In the early spring of each year, all first-division teams go to the same place for group training.

Here, the teams strengthen communication with each other, and the players also gain technical growth in the collective.

And through a series of physical tests, a minimum threshold is set for all practitioners participating in football.

From selection to training to communication.

In the league, everyone is an opponent and competes with each other;

But when it comes to the national team, everyone is teammates and needs to cooperate with each other.

This spring training model just solves the problem of players from two teams that are having a good time in the league not working together when they join the national team.

All in all, spring training has many benefits.

It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming again.

Xiaoli Bamboo Shoes has also been making preparations recently, looking for a place with sunny weather, no earthquakes or tsunamis, so that all J-League players can experience the joy of spring training.

It is worth mentioning that some qualified domestic football training bases are actively participating in bidding competitions because of the news about Rizhu shoes.

Aren't you going to spring training?

Come to us!

Just treat it as a trip!

At present, the possibility of negotiating business is higher in the coastal areas of Dalian, Qingdao, Shanghai, and Guangdong.

...

Deep self-reflection compared to neighbors.

After winning the Asian Youth Championship, Bamboo Shoes also published an article titled "Chinese Football Needs "Organism"."

It is completely modest to say that I was not as good as me when I was young.

In fact, our own youth training only started in the past two years.

In this article, Bamboo Shoes proposes to focus on a major strategic shift in youth football.

At the same time, the Jianglong team also shouted the slogan that next year's league will not aim to compete for the championship, aiming to cultivate more young players in the league.

If other teams shout this slogan, everyone thinks it is false, but the Jianglong team, which finished second in the league last season, has recruited new players this winter and is fully capable of winning the championship next season.

Nowadays, the Jianglong team’s foreign players include stars such as George Weah and Ibrahimba who have played for AC Milan.

And with Deco, a powerful Brazilian striker who just won the A Golden Boot, the Jianglong team is fully capable of winning the league.

Even so, the Jianglong team still shouted the slogan of cultivating young talents.

The reason is also very simple.

That is in this regard, Jianglong Team is indeed a beneficiary.

The Northeast economy is in decline.

Let alone football, it is difficult to make money in other industries.

For this reason, Lao Wang even sold the Dalian team, so in the three northeastern provinces, the Jianglong team basically has no competitors.

In addition, Aodong team was relegated.

Now, all the young football talents from HLJ and Jilin provinces have been recruited by the Jianglong team.

Not all football talents in Liaoning go to Liaoning Football Club or Shide.

Don’t forget, Zeng Zheng’s youth training base in Huayuankou recruits many people every year.

With more than 70% of the football talent pool in the three northeastern provinces, the Jianglong team is certainly willing to tilt the above policy in this regard!

The operation of the Jianglong team also provides a development direction for teams such as the Bayi team and Lokomotiv that are about to withdraw from the stage of history.

It turns out that if you train young talents well, you can also make money!

It was also from this moment that the talent industry chain of China's youth training began to take shape.

...

After the Asian Youth Championship, Tang Pengju and Chen Jingang flew back to China with the team to participate in the celebration ceremony held by Bamboo Shoes.

At the airport pick-up site, a lady wearing sunglasses stretched her neck, looked left and right, but could not find Zeng Zheng.

Finally, he got a chance and grabbed Qu Bo's clothes from the crowd.

"Sorry, I don't accept the interview... uh..."

When he saw clearly the appearance of the visitor, Qubo got stuck.

"Teacher, teacher's wife..."

Miss Qian didn't talk nonsense to him either.

"Xiao Bo'er, where is your boss Zeng?"

"Zeng, boss Zeng, he didn't come back."

"Is he still in Tehran?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Qu Bo nodded quickly.

Hearing this, Miss Qian was so angry that she stamped her feet.

We have been in a cold war for so long, and no matter how great the resentment is, it turns into longing.

Zeng Zheng led the team to play games before and was busy, which is understandable.

Now that we have won the Asian Cup and the Asian Youth Championship, you still haven't called me. What do you mean?

Do they really need to be divided?

"What's going on? Your former boss is in Iran..."

"Ah! Master, don't think so! Women in Iran are not allowed to go out on the streets casually. Mr. Zeng is with us every day and has never been anywhere."

"Then what's going on with him now? Why doesn't he come back after the game?"

Qu Bo scratched his head, "The world preliminaries are coming soon!"

"The Iranian team will play a World Cup qualifying match in a few days, and Mr. Zeng decided to stay there and watch the game before coming back."

Miss Qian became anxious when she heard this.

"Damn guy! He won't let people film it and then send the tape back to watch again?! He has to go to the scene himself?"

"Boss Zeng said that what can be seen on the video tape is too one-sided, and many issues can only be seen clearly at the scene..."

"Hmph! Workaholic! He deserves to be single for the rest of his life!"

Seeing that Miss Qian was so angry, Qu Bo didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing that the child was too scared to move, Ms. Qian waved her hand.

"Okay, Xiaobo'er, you played well in this Asian Youth Championship."

"Next year, A will play well."

"I'm fine now, you can go back!"

"Hey! Master, I'll leave first! If you have anything, please call me anytime."

Seeing Miss Qian letting him go, Qu Bo quickly nodded and bowed his thanks and left. How could he still have the slightest trace of the Asian Youth Championship MVP on him?

After returning to the team, Qu Bo, who was still in shock, breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Zeng, Mr. Zeng, just wish yourself well!

That night, Zeng Zheng received an email from Miss Qian.

When Zeng Zheng saw the letter from his girlfriend, he was surprised, excited, and a little nervous.

I have been busy competing these days, and I have indeed left my girlfriend out in the cold.

Now that she suddenly contacts him, is she going to start an investigation again?

With a nervous mood, Zeng Zheng clicked to read.

There is no yearning or denunciation in the letter.

There are only a few sentences, all related to work.

Seeing the end, Zeng Zheng frowned.

What the fuck?!

That kid from Deco wants to change his nationality to play in the World Cup?
