World Cup of Great Powers

The game is over.

But there seems to be no winner in this game.

The team with a disadvantage was dejected, and there was a lot of mourning in the coaching bench.

Yin Lang changed coaches temporarily, and most of the main players did not return to the team in time.

It seems reasonable to score the same score as the Asian Youth Championship final.

But the problem is that the Chinese team on the opposite side is not sending all its main players!

They are not even the main players of this second team!

Or is it that this second national football team has no main substitute at all?

Blazevic hesitated for a moment, then came to the players' tunnel and shook hands with Zeng Zheng.

"Coach Zeng, how is the goalkeeper doing?"

"The situation is not good." Zeng Zheng had a sad look on his face.

"I'm sorry this happened."

"Accidents will inevitably happen on the court." Zeng Zheng waved his hand, "He is still a goalkeeper. I think he has been prepared for this since he put on this suit."

"Then I can only wish him a speedy recovery."

After the game, Chi Shangbin replaced Zeng Zheng at the press conference.

Zeng Zhengze took a car to Tehran Municipal Hospital.

The doctor's diagnosis is basically the same as what the system prompts.

Fracture of the mandible.

Before Dai Yin lost his center of gravity, he forced his right leg to shoot. Not only did Dai Yin kick the ball into the Chinese team's goal, he also kicked Gao Jianbin's jaw into pieces.

For this level of damage, the recovery medicine produced by the system is not a good solution.

Normally, it takes 3 months to half a year for a person to recover from a broken jaw bone.

As a football player, if Gao Lao wants to return to the game, the recovery time will be even longer.

By then, the World Cup preliminaries will be over and the day lilies will be cold.

...

The score of the Zhongyin battle made the fans very satisfied.

Although it was not a very "regular" game, this big victory did play a role in boosting morale.

As for Gao Lao's injury, although the fans regret it, it is not unacceptable.

In the words of some extreme fans: "Fortunately it was not Ou Chuliang who was injured."

But who knows, if Gao Lao had not been injured, would he have performed better than Ou Chuliang in the World Cup preliminaries or the World Cup?

Gao Lao's injury also sounded the alarm to Zeng Zheng.

It is inevitable for football players to suffer some injuries on the field.

For him, as the head coach of the national team, training is important, but he must not train until the end and go to the World Cup preliminaries with a lot of wounded.

After bidding farewell to Tehran, Zeng Zheng led the team to the United States and played a friendly match with the U.S. national team.

The result was a 2-2 tie, which can be regarded as a friendly "China-M diplomacy".

At this point, the first three stages of Zeng Zheng's leadership of the national team (from taking office to the Asian Cup, the Asian Cup, and the Asian Cup visit to Country M) have all come to a successful conclusion.

According to the "answer sheet" submitted by Zeng Zheng, Bamboo Shoes finally determined that Zeng Zheng will still be the head coach for the World Cup preliminaries.

On February 1st, the host city for the Chinese team's home match in the Asian group stage of the 2002 World Cup preliminaries will be decided today.

Which of the six bidding cities will get the right to host the event will be decided jointly by China Bamboo Shoes and the national team head coach Zeng Zheng.

It is reported that the Chinese team will have three home games in the group, spanning the three months of April, May and June this year.

At present, 8 cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Shenyang, Kunming, Wuxi, Chengdu, and Harbin have officially submitted their bid requirements.

In addition, Yunnan Bamboo Shoes also submitted a request for application via phone and fax.

But the final decision rests with Zhu Xie and Zeng Zheng.

In this regard, Zhu Xie, headed by Xu and Wang, said that the opinions and views of head coach Zeng Zheng will be the key to deciding on the host city.

"I am very satisfied with the venue and facilities of the Hongkou Football Stadium, but the problem is that the football market in Shanghai is average."

"Take the distance to the last Asian Cup final. Many fans who came to the scene came from other places, and the proportion of local fans was not very high."

"And the Asian Cup finals have already been held, so let's forget about this small qualifying match."

"Similarly, Guangzhou is almost the same as the Magic City."

"The golf market in Xi'an is relatively hot. Isn't it currently engaged in the development of the Great Western Region? I think it's pretty good there."

"Kunming's venues and infrastructure are also good, and it is located on a plateau. I think this is an advantage."

"Although Wuxi's contribution to women's football is visible to the naked eye, compared with other places, various infrastructures are still lagging behind."

"Although the conditions in Chengdu are good, like the Magic City, they have already hosted the Asian Cup. Let's change the place."

"Although Shenyang is a major football town, it has not hosted a national team game for many years. I think we need to be cautious."

"I think Harbin is pretty good, after all, I started there! The atmosphere and facilities are incredible! As long as the temperature is right, Harbin's latitude is not that high..."

The next day, at a press conference held by Bamboo Shoes, the spokesperson said:

“After a detailed evaluation of the city’s venue facilities conditions, reception conditions, economic conditions, transportation, communications, climate, football environment, etc. by each of the bidding cities, Bamboo Shoes decided that Shenyang will host the second phase of the World Cup qualifying home event.

The three home stadiums in the first stage will be hosted by Xi'an, Kunming and Harbin respectively."

After determining the host city area, Bamboo Shoes announced the list of the third batch of training camps.

This time, the names of Liu Yunfei, Li Yao, Li Ming and Yao Xia were also among them.

Qu Shengqing missed the training list due to recurrence of hemorrhoids.

On February 10, the national football team played the first match of the King of Thailand Cup group stage against Qatar at the National Stadium in Bangkok.

Due to the slippery surface, both teams seemed uncomfortable.

In the sixth minute after the opening, Qatar paid the price for a needless mistake.

At that time, right back Xu Yunlong assisted to the right side of the frontcourt, but the opponent made a mistake in the clearance and gave the national football team a corner kick.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shen Si’s corner kick was well placed. Li Weifeng nodded the ball in front. The opponent’s central defender made another mistake in clearing the ball. Xiao Wang Tao made a follow-up shot near the six-yard point.

, scoring the first goal for the national football team.

Then the national football team played more easily.

Shenhua's second player, who was back in form, staged a wonderful one-two match in the 15th minute: After receiving Wu Chengying's pass, Shensi cleverly used a fake move to get past the opponent's central defender, and then kicked hard outside the penalty area.

Shot, the opponent's goalkeeper reluctantly blocked the ball with his chest.

Qu Bo failed to stop the ball during the follow-up shot and wasted the opportunity to expand the score.

In the 26th minute, Zhao Junzhe had a good opportunity to go to the meeting alone after successfully counterattacking in the midfield.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Zhao Jun turned his toe and extended the score to 2-0.

After half-time guidance, in the 50th minute of the second half, the Qatar team got a corner kick on the right. Xiao Wang Tao and Li Weifeng both jumped up but neither of them hit the ball. Mustafa, who was unmarked at the back post, incrediblely passed the ball in front of the goal.

Play high, the national football team will survive the disaster!

In the 60th minute, the national football team finally organized a quick counterattack.

Unfortunately, in a four-on-three situation, Li Ming chose to shoot from outside the penalty area, which made his teammates who were responding in the middle sigh!

A minute later, the national football team's defense made a mistake. When Wu Chengying was defending the opponent's high ball, he chased Mustafa hard and happened to collide with the attacking Ou Chuliang.

Qatar's substitute forward who just came on easily knocked Ou Chuliang's ball away, knocking on the door of the national football team.

The next game was a close call.

Under the command of Zeng Zheng, the players maintained the score of 2-1 until the end.

At the press conference after the game, Zeng Zheng generously admitted: Qatar, which lost 0-3 to the Chinese team in the Asian Cup last year, indeed caused considerable difficulties for the Chinese team today.

The World Cup preliminaries are approaching, and it seems that every national team is preparing bravely.

After a "lucky" victory in the first game, the national football team's next opponent was the Swedish team known as the "Vikings".

This Swedish team is mainly composed of players who play in the domestic league, and many of the players' bodies are comparable to those of the national football team.

Shortly after the start, the Swedish team unexpectedly started a ground attack with the national football team.

Although the strength is slightly at a disadvantage, the national football team is in good spirits, and the three-line connection and midfield and frontcourt offense and defense are obviously better than the previous game.

In the 36th minute, Qu Bo successfully counterattacked in the midfield and passed the ball directly to left midfielder Shen Si. At this time, right midfielder Li Ming quickly inserted into the baseline to attract the opponent's central defender. Shen Si promptly distributed the ball to Zhao Junzhe who inserted in the middle.

The latter shot in sheep's clothing, and before the opponent's last central defender blocked it, it was timely passed to Zhang Yuheng, who was unguarded in the right penalty area.

Facing the Swedish goalkeeper on the goal line, Zhang Yuheng calmly shot the ball into the lower right corner of the goal, opening the scoring for the national football team.

After the start of the second half, the national football team's formation remained very compact. The players implemented Zeng Zheng's requirements well, frequently turning back and firmly controlling the ball.

The Swedish team was forced to change their formation, and soon used up three substitutions, trying to change the passive situation.

In the 64th minute, Qi Hong suddenly made a precise long pass in the backcourt. The two central defenders of the Swedish team and Zhang Yuheng formed a three-pointer.

At this time, goalkeeper Gustafsson inexplicably ran out of the penalty area and kicked the ball into the air. Zhang Yuheng, who was the first to react, jumped up high during the attack and headed the ball into the empty goal, extending the score to 2-2.

0.

When the situation was looking good, the team members subconsciously relaxed.

This laxity was an opportunity seized by the opponent.

In the 78th and 85th minutes, the opponent scored two consecutive goals to tie the score.

One minute before the end, Zhang Yuheng received Wu Chengying's long pass and leaned over the opponent's sweeper before heading straight into the Swedish team's penalty area. Unfortunately, after losing physical strength, he could not keep up with the speed and was destroyed by the opponent's defensive player.

Unable to seize the final scoring opportunity, the two sides could only settle for a 2-2 draw.

At the post-match press conference, Zeng Zheng and Swedish team coach Schöderberg had surprisingly unanimous opinions. They both believed that both sides controlled the situation in the half and the score was quite reasonable.

Two days later, the national football team played the final match of the King of Thailand Cup group stage against the Thai team at the National Stadium in Bangkok.

The host team Thailand had lost both of their previous games, so this game was basically a fight for honor.

Even so, Zeng Zheng's team defeated their opponent 5-1 and advanced to the final of this King of Thailand Cup.

The finals will be played against Sweden again. This time, the Swedish team's lineup has changed a lot.

The most obvious thing is that the goalkeeper was changed to Kierstadt, captain Milder, Rusic and other more famous stars all played, and the forward line was played by A. Svensson and Svensson.

Before the game, because Qi Hong, Qu Bo and Su Maozhen were all injured, Zhang Yuheng and Li Xiaopeng all gained positions.

Zeng Zheng temporarily arranged a 451 formation, hoping to delay the opponent's attack through the midfield fight.

As soon as the game started, the Swedish team overwhelmed the national football team.

In the 5th minute, the Swedish team suddenly distributed the ball outside the left penalty area while attacking from the right. No. 11 Zhuangsen passed Sun Xiang and then shot hard. Ou Chuliang was unable to save, and the ball flew straight into the upper left corner of the national football gate. The Swedish team

Taking the lead 1-0.

At the 10th minute of the game, Zhao Junzhe, who had been injured during the previous fight, was unable to continue the game. Li Yao was hastily replaced. The national football team had a very unfavorable start.

In the corner kick in the 19th minute, the Swedish team unexpectedly drove the ball to the top of the penalty area. No. 10 Gavulin, who was unmarked within ten meters, shot the ball and broke through the national football gate again.

After falling behind by two goals, Shen Si, who temporarily accepted the task, began to run around in a wide range of frontcourts to open up a lot of gaps for Zhang Yuheng, Li Ming and others, and the national football team's offense improved slightly.

In the 33rd minute, Wu Chengying passed the ball directly behind the Swedish team. Li Yao used his body to overpower the opponent's defender and promptly distributed the ball to the center. Zhang Yuning, who was in charge, used a fake move to deceive Rusic and then directly shot a cold shot to win for the team.

Get a goal back.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 54th minute, Li Ming forced a breakthrough near the right baseline and won a free kick for the national football team.

Shensi, who took the penalty, shot directly, causing confusion in the Swedish team's defense, and the ball was blocked out of the left penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Yu Genwei stopped the ball with his chest, turned around and volleyed vigorously. The ball instantly penetrated into the upper right corner of the Swedish team's goal.

The score between the two sides became 2-2.

In the following time, the Swedish team stepped up its attack.

Zeng Zheng repeatedly played out the substitution cards in his hand, and then barely managed to hold on.

In the 67th minute, Shensi took a corner kick from the left with a very awkward placement. Kierstadt collided with Li Weifeng who was connecting in the middle.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Wang Tao stepped forward to take a shot, but the Swedish team defender cleared the ball in time and resolved the danger.

In the 76th minute, Berglund, who went to the meeting alone, picked up Ou Chuliang, who abandoned the goal. Fortunately, Li Weifeng chased back hard and hooked the ball on the goal line.

Three minutes later, Shen Si made a diagonal pass from the left side of the Swedish team's penalty area. Zhang Yuning, who considered himself "not as fast as Qu Bo", tried his best but could not catch up with the ball.

Just as Zeng Zhengyao was preparing for the upcoming penalty shootout, Yu Genwei stepped forward again.

In the 92nd minute, the Chinese team quickly launched a quick counterattack after successfully defending.

Several Swedish defensive players kept looking at the referee, thinking that the other team would blow the final whistle of the game.

But what I didn't expect was that the referee gave the Chinese team one last chance to attack.

Li Xiaopeng, who rushed forward with the ball, used his last strength to kick a long pass over the top. Li Yao grabbed the ball in front of two Swedish defenders.

While other Swedish players were desperately trying to catch up, Li Yao sent a diagonal pass towards the Swedish team's penalty area. Yu Genwei inserted it and pushed the far corner with his right foot, knocking on the Swedish team's door again.

At this point, the Chinese team took the lead before the end.

Won the championship of this year’s Thai King’s Cup with a score of 3-2.

At the post-match press conference, Swedish team coach Sködberg continued to nod and praise the Chinese team's three goals, saying that all three goals were scored by the opponent under unexpected circumstances.

Although the Chinese team is slightly inferior in strength, its fighting spirit is still worth learning.

When it was China's turn to speak, Zeng Zheng looked bitter.

In this King of Thailand Cup, Su Maozhen, Qu Bo and Zhao Junzhe all suffered injuries to varying degrees.

Although not as important as Gao Jianbin, at present, they may not be able to participate in the first stage of the World Cup qualifiers in more than a month.
