World Cup of Great Powers

Whether you are worried about the World Cup preliminaries or not is not something a newscaster in a suit and tie says.

It was a result of the players playing with real swords and guns on the court.

After defeating Indonesia, fans across the country breathed a sigh of relief.

All three opponents in the group stage lost to the Chinese team.

It seems that there is really no problem in this first stage of the group stage.

However, people in the Indonesian football community and public opinion believe that the main reason for their loss was the cold weather and the players' reduced physical fitness.

"The Indonesian team scored a goal in the first half, which shows that the Chinese team's defense can be broken!"

Indonesian football team leader Yin Rawati said via long-distance phone call, "If the players were better able to seize scoring opportunities, the Indonesian team would not have conceded so many goals."

And repeatedly emphasized, "The Indonesian team will prove at home that they can compete with the Chinese team. The Indonesian team will also prove at home that the result of the Kunming game will not be repeated in Jakarta."

The secretary-general of the Indonesian Football Association stood on the lawn of Tuodong Stadium and told reporters, "In Jakarta, there are 120,000 Indonesian fans waiting for the Chinese team!"

The secretary-general expressed great concern that the stands of the Tuodong Stadium are too close to the stadium. "The cheers of your home fans can easily scare us."

He said half-jokingly, "If the stands at the Jakarta stadium are like this, you will definitely be dead."

According to reports, the reason why the stadium in Jakarta can accommodate 120,000 people is because a large part of the stands have no seats and the distance from the stadium is also very far.

No matter how dissatisfied or angry the Indonesian side is, the facts are before us.

"Republic" commented: It should be admitted that the strength of the Chinese team far exceeds that of Indonesia.

After the Indonesian team lost, their chances of qualifying were getting smaller and smaller. They could only hope that the Chinese team would make their own mistakes.

That's the truth.

Indonesia only has the last game left at home against the Chinese team.

Before the Chinese team goes to Jakarta, they have to go to Harbin to play a home match against Cambodia.

think about it.

What latitude is Harbin?

What latitude is Cambodia?

What is the level of the Chinese team?

What is the level of Cambodia?

As long as the Chinese team defeats Cambodia at home.

Even if they lose to Indonesia in Jakarta, the Chinese team will qualify.

There is no way, the Chinese team's goal difference is too much!

So many that even if we give the Indonesian team three times the time, they can’t catch up!

In this regard, Indonesian head coach Benny is quite candid.

"The Chinese team has qualified!"

"Now Indonesia's goal difference is only 9, while the Chinese team has 59."

"Who knows how many more teams the Chinese team can score in Cambodia at home?"

If Indonesia wants to qualify, it must at least beat the Chinese team by more than 50 points at home.

"How is this possible?" Benny shook his head.

For him, it is important to bring the national players back to China safely and then play the last game seriously so that no one gets hurt...

That's enough!

...

On May 16, Zeng Jiajun and his party arrived in Harbin.

At Taiping International Airport, the team accepted flowers presented by local fans.

“Coach Zeng, Coach Zeng, Coach Zeng!”

"Li Jinyu, Li Jinyu, Li Jinyu!"

"Zhang Xiaorui, Zhang Xiaorui, Zhang Xiaorui!"

The local fans shouted the names of Zeng Zheng and the players.

If it weren't for Zeng Zheng and Jianlibao.

Until now, Harbin can only enjoy watching the teams from Jilin and Liaoning.

Compared with Xi'an and Kunming, the fans here are obviously more enthusiastic.

In the past few days, there have been frequent changes in the team's personnel.

First, the Dalian team reached the semi-finals of the Asian Club Cup.

Several members of the Dalian team were transferred by the club to play in the Asian Club Cup, but Zeng Zhengliu didn't even keep them and directly chose to let them go.

Secondly, the World Youth Championship is about to start.

People like Qu Bo, Du Wei, Sun Xiang, and An Qi have also returned to the youth team to prepare for the game.

During this period, the National Youth Team led by Chen Jingang played a friendly match with the visiting Boca Juniors.

The Chinese Youth Team defeated the visitors 4-1.

After the news reached Zeng Zheng's ears, Zeng Zheng only commented in four words: guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

Think about it, who is Boca Juniors?

Can you send all your main players to compete here?

It's nothing more than a friendly business match, just a formality, and also for the national youth team to practice.

Winning against them does not mean that they can beat Argentina.

This World Youth Championship in Argentina, they are determined to win the championship at home!

Except for the Dalian team and the National Youth Team, all other international players studying abroad have basically returned to China.

Yang Chen's Frankfurt failed to avoid relegation and was relegated to the Bundesliga 2.

Under the halo of the Asian Cup Golden Boot, many teams still extended an olive branch to Yang Chen.

After much consideration and discussion, Yang Chen still prefers to stay in the Bundesliga.

He is 27 this year and has no energy to work hard in other leagues.

Li Jinyu's Turin successfully avoided relegation this season, and the club sent Li Jinyu back to the country one round ahead of schedule.

This season, Dayu contributed 7 goals and 6 assists to Turin, and was selected into the Serie A Team of the Month many times.

"Football Times" recently selected the best lineup of foreign players in Serie A, and Li Jinyu's name was clearly on the list.

In this 3-4-3 best lineup, Li Jinyu, Shevchenko and Crespo were jointly named the best forward.

But "Sports Milan" still regards Li Jinyu as an attacking midfielder.

The newspaper also recently made a comparison of players who play the attacking midfielder position in Serie A.

Zidane of Juventus ranked first, and Dayu unexpectedly ranked second.

After the Chinese team visited Italy, almost all Serie A fans got to know this Chinese shadow striker with a baby face and baby fat.

Li Tie's Sevilla successfully promoted to the top flight in the last round of the season and returned to La Liga.

Although Lee Tie, who contributed 1 goal and 2 assists, is not eye-catching in terms of statistics, his contribution is obvious to all.

According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Li Tie is the player with the longest running distance in Spain.

This season in Sevilla's various competitions, he made a total of 39 appearances and ran a distance of 12.587 kilometers per 90 minutes.

It was precisely with such hard running that Sevilla scored points in many away games and finally succeeded in reaching the top flight.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sevilla was relegated last season, and Li Tieben had the opportunity to transfer to other teams like other players.

But in the end he chose to stay on the team.

Now, the Sevilla veteran has helped the team return to La Liga in just one season.

According to a public sentiment survey in Seville, 72% of fans support Lee Tie wearing the captain's armband next season.

Sun Jihai is quite average on the wing for Manchester City.

This season he contributed 2 goals and 5 assists, allowing him to completely secure his position as Manchester City's right back.

Manchester City is facing a coaching change this season.

Kevin Keegan, who is most likely to coach Blue Moon, also publicly stated that if he coaches Manchester City, Sun Jihai will definitely appear in his lineup.

As for Zhang Xiaorui at Benfica, he did not attend the last few games of this season.

But he still scored excellent statistics of 13 goals and 11 assists.

In the past few years, he has won titles such as the best foreign player in the Portuguese Super League, the best rookie in the Portuguese Super League, the best attacking midfielder in the Portuguese Super League, and the best team in the Portuguese Super League.

For Zhang Xiaorui, helping Zeng Zheng win the world preliminaries is his top priority during this period.

According to the Portuguese "Ballball" report, Zhang Xiaorui once publicly stated that he must win a golden boot or the best assist in the Portuguese Super League, otherwise he will not consider a transfer.

I don’t know if this news was spread intentionally by Benfica.

Crystal Palace has successfully avoided relegation this season.

But even if they succeed in relegation, they will still be a League One team.

In recent days, it is said that Liverpool has the idea of ​​​​introducing General Fan, but the prerequisite is to allow him to participate in less national team games.

This made General Fan very worried.

Rather than playing in the Premier League, he still prefers to shine for the national team for the last time at the end of his career.

As for other players, Zhang Minghua has already scored one goal for Grimsby, and Shao Jiayi has also scored three goals for Borussia Monchengladbach.

Although Zheng Zhi only scored one goal in PSV, his performance has been appreciated by the club coach.

Zhang Ran has scored twice at Internacional and has so far scored 3 goals and contributed 2 assists for Internacional.

Qu Bo played a limited number of games at Benfica, but he also scored a goal.

As for whether Xie Hui will stay in Aachen next season, he will also have to use his performance in the national team during this period to negotiate with other clubs.

...

On May 18, the Cambodian team, which had just arrived in Harbin, appeared at the auxiliary field of the Municipal Stadium for their first training session after arriving.

Compared with the thousands of people watching the Chinese team's training, the number of reporters and fans who went to watch the Cambodian training was greatly reduced.

Cambodia is not so much a pre-match training as it is a formality to give reporters a chance to interview.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Cambodian team, led by German head coach Feiket, first warmed up symbolically, and then began the theme of their training - anti-high-altitude ball training.

Feiket requires the players to continuously play the ball into the penalty area from both sides, and the defenders and goalkeepers will destroy the ball whenever they have the opportunity.

Their purpose is very obvious, to dismantle the Chinese team's trump card.

Reporters present commented one after another: "If these guys practice like this, no matter how low our shooting percentage is, we will still have to score four or five goals."

Because the members of the Cambodian team are too short.

There are only one or two people in the team who are over 1.8 meters tall.

After practicing against high-altitude balls, the Cambodian team also conducted group confrontations.

Head coach Feiket simply adopted a "sheep-herding" policy, allowing the players to rush around and rarely stopping for tactical analysis.

In an interview with reporters after training, Feket said that the strength of the Cambodian team is not at the same level as the Chinese team.

I came to this competition mainly with a learning attitude.

The team's top priority is to achieve better than passable results in the Southeast Asian competition.

In his opinion, trying to break through the opponent's door in a match with the Chinese team is simply a fantasy.

On May 20, facing Cambodia, the weakest team in the group, Zeng Zheng compiled a lineup with stronger superficial strength based on the existing national players.

Goalkeeper Ou Chuliang, defenders Wu Chengying, Li Weifeng, General Fan and Sun Jihai.

Midfielders Zheng Zhi, Li Tie, Zhang Xiaorui, Li Jinyu.

Forwards Yang Chen, Xie Hui.

Seeing the Chinese team's lineup, Feike spread his hands.

In his opinion, the lineup that Zeng Zheng put together today is more than enough for the World Cup main game.

Unexpectedly, in the first group stage of the world preliminaries, he would be used against him, the weakest opponent in the group.

What else can you say?

Kick it!

Anyway, I came here with the purpose of learning.

After the start, the Chinese team, which clearly had the upper hand, used fierce firepower to hold the Cambodian team in the backcourt.

Only five minutes into the game, Xie Hui and Li Jinyu made two consecutive headers in the penalty area.

Yang Chen followed up and hit the net from 12 yards, opening the scoring for the Chinese team and fulfilling his promise before the game that he would definitely score.

The Cambodian team played for more than ten minutes, and only in the 14th minute did they attack the national football half for the first time, winning rounds of applause from the fans.

When Li Weifeng intercepted the ball from the wing in a very cool manner, the fans even shouted "Li Datou", and the atmosphere at the scene was very lively.

Facing the visiting team's dense center and keeping an eye on the defenses on both sides, Zeng Jiajun didn't play in a hurry.

In the 16th minute, three players of the Chinese team successfully committed offside.

Li Weifeng, who was attending the meeting alone, was interfered by the opponent's goalkeeper Dara and reluctantly kicked the ball into the legs of the opponent's defender.

Li Jinyu rushed over and shot the ball into the net.

2 to 0!

However, just one minute later, Li Weifeng made a fatal mistake: the Cambodian team made a long pass from the backcourt. After stopping the ball, Li Datou confidently turned around to protect the ball, but the opponent's forward Makara took the ball from behind.

snatch away.

Faced with the sudden accident, Ou Chuliang did not react, and the ball hit the post and rolled into the Chinese team's gate.

Seeing this goal, Liu Jianhong recalled Indonesia's goal in the last game and directly excused Li Weifeng.

But the next second, Zeng Zheng's ferocious face appeared in the camera.

Although the director blocked Zeng Zheng’s voice.

But at this moment, all fans across the country could tell what Zeng Zheng said from the shape of his mouth.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zeng Zheng: "Li Datou, you *********"

Li Weifeng, who was scolded so badly, didn't even dare to raise his head.

From then on, I never dared to shake his new hairstyle during a competition.

Every pass, every kick, is extremely careful.

After the Chinese team unexpectedly conceded a goal, the Cambodian team's fighting spirit soared.

For a moment, he even seemed to be trying to break through the Chinese team's midfield blockade.

Under Zeng Zheng's order, Zhang Xiaorui, Zheng Zhi, Li Jinyu, Yang Chen, and General Fan attacked and controlled the midfield.

To forcefully repel the opponent's attack.

In the 21st minute, Li Jinyu passed two defenders of the opponent in the frontcourt, rushed to the opponent's penalty area, and then bravely fought with the opponent's last central defender.

Sun Jihai, who was rushing in from the sidelines, took advantage and easily grabbed the "rebound ball".

The outside instep shot into the dead center of the goal, changing the score to 3-1.

Two minutes later, Dayu, who was active in this game, successfully stole the ball in the frontcourt again and passed the ball to Zhang Xiaorui on the other side.

The latter met the ball on the penalty area line and fired furiously. The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal with great speed and skill. The goalkeeper Dara, who had extraordinary skill, crossed over and saved the ball, once again making a great contribution to the visiting team.

In the 28th minute, Li Jinyu got the ball in the middle and hit the top of the penalty area. Li Tie took a volley and the ball missed the goal.

In the 32nd minute, Zhang Xiaorui made a direct pass into the penalty area. Xie Hui passed an opponent's defender and then shot, expanding the score again.

The Cambodian team's intensive defense had no effect at all.

The Chinese team has absolute strength to penetrate into the opponent's penalty area, whether high in the air or underground.

Facing such a weak team, Li Weifeng's conceding of the ball seemed even more inappropriate.

In the 39th minute, Wu Chengying made a pass from the left. When Xie Hui and Li Jinyu hit the goal, Dara fell to the ground and dived sideways, hitting the ball out of the penalty area.

Zhang Xiaorui met the ball and fired furiously, expanding the score to 5-1!

Even at the end of the first half, the Chinese team's offense was not over yet.

The players seemed to be atonement for Li Weifeng's loss of the ball. In the 43rd minute, Shen Si shot a volley from outside the penalty area, and Dara saved the ball with a single punch;

In stoppage time, Zhang Xiaorui made a pass from the right, and Xie Hui fell to the ground in the middle and his shot was blocked by the opponent's central defender.

Li Jinyu followed up with a follow-up shot, and the ball passed under Dara's armpit.

6 to 1!

After the start of the second half, Li Weifeng was replaced by Zhang Minghua.

You can tell.

Li Weifeng is indeed Zeng Zheng's beloved disciple.

Even if he made a mistake, he still gave him enough face.

Facing the vulnerable Cambodian team, Zeng Zheng still did not choose to hold back.

You have scored goals and learned techniques and tactics, so don’t think about losing face.

When the score became 10 to 1, Li Huajun, Chi Shangbin and others couldn't help but remind Zeng Zheng that he had to restrain himself to avoid collecting more information from his opponents in the top ten.

Zeng Zheng shook his head and continued to wave his hand to strengthen his attack.

In the end, the Chinese team scored a 15-1 score in the northernmost provincial capital.

Fulfilled the pre-match promise.

These northern fans are also addicted to it.

At the end of this game, the Chinese team is already guaranteed to qualify.

Even if Zeng Zheng takes the U16 to Jakarta, Indonesia will not be able to score more than 60 goals.

So after the game, the atmosphere was relaxed both internally and externally.

Many team members asked to go play in the water on the Songhua River or go for an outing on Sun Island.

Zeng Zheng was also very generous and directly gave the team a day off.

"Coach Zeng, what did you think of the last game?"

Several assistant teachers came to Zeng Zheng's room and asked.

"I think it's better to bring some main force."

Zeng Zheng thought for a moment and then replied, "There is no need for us to stop eating because of choking."

"The World Cup is coming soon."

"We will definitely have to fight a tough battle, and there will definitely be injuries."

"The most important thing is that we can't use one group of people to play the World Cup preliminaries and the same group of people to play the World Cup."

"This is also unscientific."

"In this case, don't think about other problems."

"Jakarta will bring a few, and then Japan and South Korea will bring a few more."

"Although there are no requirements for me from above, my goal is to be at least the top four."

These semi-finals are not the semi-finals of the World Cup.

But the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup.

The last World Cup qualifying group match will be played at the end of May, and the Confederations Cup will begin in early June.

Because the Chinese team is the Asian Cup champion and there are two countries hosting the World Cup, there are a total of nine teams participating in this Confederations Cup.

The format is also very interesting.

The three teams were divided into three groups and each played two round-robin games.

The first place in the three groups and the second best group advance to the semi-finals and then compete for the championship.

For the sake of fairness, the three teams of China, Japan and South Korea were separated.

But I don’t know if the organizers intended it or not. The Chinese team’s Group C opponents are France, the last World Cup champion, and Mexico, the last Confederations Cup champion.

Under such circumstances, Zeng Zheng said that if he wanted to qualify for the group stage, he would have to go through at least some setbacks.

However, since Zeng Zheng made this decision, the assistant coaches present naturally also fully supported it.

In the words of Chi Shangbin: What’s the point of always playing against a weak team? If you want to test your strength, you have to play against a truly strong team!

After briefly setting the schedule for the next month, the coaches sat together again and started chatting.

At this moment, Shen Xiangfu took today's Harbin Daily and smiled at everyone:

"Did you read today's newspaper?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Chi Shangbin asked: "What? What did it say? Harbin fans will not let go of the missed goal, right? Didn't Li Weifeng play for the Jianglong team? This face will always be given, right?"

Shen Xiangfu shook his head, "It's not yesterday's game."

"What's that?"

"It's a fan's contribution."

When Shen Xiangfu said this, he was also a little speechless.

"Uh...how should I say it?"

"It's like a beautiful expectation for our team's future, but also like his own free enjoyment."

"If you ask me, this article should be placed in science fiction."

When everyone heard this, they all became curious.

Zeng Zheng stepped forward to take a look.

Oops!

Good guy!

The title is actually called "China Team Wins World Cup Championship!"

"What a guy! This fan really dares to think!"

"Yeah, we didn't even dare to qualify in the group stage, but he won the championship directly."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, our fans' expectations for us are not generally high!"

Zeng Zheng took it with great interest and took a closer look, and couldn't help but laugh.

In his previous life, this contributor was a proper author of YY web articles!
