World Cup of Great Powers

"What a beautiful save!"

"Hey, Ou Chuliang made a textbook save for us!"

Zhang Hehe also praised him.

The ejaculation is beautiful, the ejaculation is even more beautiful!

Because of Ou Chuliang's goal, bursts of applause came from the stands.

"Ou Chuliang, Ou Chuliang!"

Behind the goal, fans from China stood up, waved and shouted Ou Chuliang's name.

Yokohama is not far away.

Suwon is closer.

South Korean fans do not support the Chinese team, but our own fans do!

Especially when they heard that the Chinese team would probably only play one game in South Korea this Confederations Cup, fans enthusiastically bought tickets and came to support.

This includes Wang Lei and his father.

Wang Lei, born in 1989, is 12 years old this year.

I started practicing football at the age of 5, and my parents are very supportive.

At the beginning of 1998, Wang's father took Wang Lei, who had practiced for two and a half years, to join the training camp.

After three years of training, Wang Lei has become one of the top goalkeepers at the Huayuankou Youth Training Base.

Seeing Ou Chuliang pick off the ball steadily, Wang Lei couldn't help swinging his arms and shouted "Okay"!

The royal father was standing by, patting his son on the shoulder.

"Xiao Lei, have you seen that? Train hard and you will be able to become the national team member of the Chinese team like Ou Chuliang in the future!"

"Um!"

Wang Lei hummed, still staring at the court below.

Looking at Ou Chuliang's strong back, Wang Lei imagined more than once, what choice would he make if he was the gatekeeper below?

Ou Chuliang's performance today can be said to be an eye-opener for Wang Leiguo.

Blocked with a high pass, jumped left and blocked again.

In the first ten minutes, the opponent's shots were firmly caught three times.

Every time he saw Ou Chuliang catching the opponent's ball, Wang Lei's heart beat violently.

"OK!"

"Well done!"

"Ou Chuliang!"

"It's so beautiful!"

As he watched, Wang Lei would imitate some of Ou Chuliang's little moves.

Or chewing gum, or wiping your nose with your fingers.

Under Cameroon's high-pressure opening, the Chinese team frequently heard the voices of fans in this half.

The fans enjoyed watching it, but the coaches frowned.

"Coach Zeng, we can't continue like this!"

"Yes, Coach Zeng, Cameroon's offense is too strong!"

Indeed, after so long since the start, the Chinese team has been suppressed on the scene.

Not to mention passive defense, the door behind Ou Chuliang was also frequently threatened.

Eto'o, the former Real Madrid "star", is even more skilled than a year ago.

Fast, skilled, physically tough, and high on the ball.

Such a forward is a devastating threat to any team's defense.

If you are not careful, you will be fatally struck by your opponent.

In this case, it is almost necessary for the team to compress its formation and play intensive defense.

But Zeng Zheng did not issue such an order.

In the front, only Yang Chen occasionally ran back to participate in the defense.

This guy Zhang Xiaorui only fought to the death a few times after the show started.

But after several consecutive collisions, it was discovered that physical energy was consumed greatly.

In the end, he simply cruised around the midfield, looking for fighters.

In other words, several offensive players in the frontcourt did not seem to have a decent defensive posture.

Most of the pressure in the defense was placed on General Fan, Li Weifeng, Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng.

"Cameroon's offensive method cannot last long."

Zeng Zhengdan said calmly.

"Why?!" Chi Shangbin looked confused.

It is true that he is a coach-level figure in domestic clubs.

But he has no experience at all in high-end games against Olympic champions like Cameroon.

Not to mention Chi Shangbin, how many people like Jin Zhiyang, Shen Xiangfu, and Li Huajun have had this kind of experience?

Especially these two years.

The Chinese team began to emerge in major intercontinental competitions.

The top coaches in the country are so crowded that they all want to go to Zeng Zheng’s coaching staff to broaden their horizons.

One is to gain knowledge, and the other is to learn from experience and see how other world-class teams play.

After that, it’s up to you to play how you want to beat your opponent.

This is a long process.

It is also a step-by-step process.

Even Zeng Zheng did not dare to pat his chest and say that he could beat the African team he encountered in this level of competition.

Although they are both third world countries.

But African football has inherent advantages compared with Asian football.

First of all, African players with less talent cannot get ahead at all;

Secondly, any African player who can excel is the target of competition for European clubs.

Faced with such an opponent, once domestic coaches find that the players cannot play as they normally do in training, they will choose to have all players retreat and defend passively.

This is also what often happens when an inexperienced weak team encounters a strong team.

"Coach Chi, although Cameroon played fiercely, there are not many key points, just those few!"

Zeng Zheng pointed to Eto'o at the front of the formation and said:

"Eto'o, 20 years old, currently plays for Mallorca in La Liga."

"African Cup champion, Olympic champion, emerging talent of the Cameroon national team!"

"Fast speed, good ball skills, keen sense of smell in front of goal, high forward awareness, erratic movement, and strong anti-offside ability."

"Such a player cannot be defended by just relying on one player to defend him closely. It does not mean that no matter how dense your formation is or how many defensive players you have, you can completely restrict him."

"In comparison, the veteran Mboma is not good."

"His condition has declined drastically."

"It is said that it is due to injury."

"Winning the African Footballer of the Year is more of a symbol of honor."

"He is more of a spiritual symbol for Cameroon."

As he spoke, Mboma spread his legs and, with half his body advantage, caught up with his teammate's through ball in front of Wu Chengying.

But that was all he could do.

The short sprint consumed a lot of his energy.

After Wu Chengying received the ball in one step, he immediately moved the ball to the outside with the instep of his outside foot, then quickly stopped and turned around, turning his back to the sideline to regain control of the ball.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that the other party did not mean to force himself, Wu Chengying also stopped in a hurry.

He stood sideways, with his hands behind his back, standing in front of Mboma.

Facing Wu Chengying's close defense, Mboma pulled the ball horizontally toward the baseline for a few steps, then pushed it in the opposite direction and passed it in with his back kick.

In the penalty area, Ou Chuliang, who was well prepared, jumped high and picked the ball up in the air with both hands.

The goalkeeper has absolute control of the air in the penalty area!

After landing, Ou Chuliang leaned forward and fell to the ground to protect the ball.

"If this was five years ago, it would be weird if Mboma didn't forcefully eat Xiao Wu!" Jin Zhiyang sighed.

This time, Ou Chuliang lay on the ground for five or six seconds before getting up.

Of course no one would think he was hurt.

By doing this, he is buying time for his teammates and slowing down the pace of the game.

“Look at Cameroon’s midfield again.”

"Gremy, Lauren, Vivian Foe, Orembe."

"They are all young people just like us."

Ou Chuliang threw the ball to Sun Jihai on the wing.

Sun Jihai took a step forward and passed the ball to Li Xiaopeng who came over to assist.

"Don't forget that Gremy is in Real Madrid, Lauren is in Arsenal in the Premier League, and Vivian Foe and Olembe are also playing in Ligue 1."

"But the problem is that when Graeme and Lauren were at the club, what they were good at was not where they are now."

"Although Olembe is good at his position, he is also a product of Nantes youth training."

"But his national team experience is very shallow."

"This Cameroon team is mainly made up of last year's Olympic team. He is too young and has no tacit understanding with his teammates."

"Do you see that when he is on the court, does he often fight alone?"

Jin and Chi looked towards the field.

Sure enough, Li Xiaopeng accelerated diagonally and knocked Olambe over.

After passing the opponent, Li Xiaopeng continued to dribble the ball forward.

He was not pursued or intercepted by his teammates.

In other words, although Olembe is in Cameroon's formation, he is like an isolated island.

Whether it's offense or defense, he only represents himself.

"As for Vivian Fu..."

Having said this, Zeng Zheng paused for a moment.

As the oldest player in Cameroon’s midfield, Marco Vivian Fo is only 26 years old this year, in his golden age.

Vivianfo started playing for the Cameroon national team in 1993 and has played more than 40 games so far.

The position is also midfielder.

Compared to Olembe, who is not good at positions such as Gremi and Lauren, and does not have a good tacit understanding with his teammates and is always isolated, Vivian Fo is at the top in terms of age, ability, position, and tacit understanding!

Logically speaking, he should be the most stable part of Cameroon's midfield!

But when he mentioned his name, Zeng Zheng sighed.

Judging from his expression, he feels more regretful than anyone else.

"While browsing the news, I saw a report from the year before last."

"What I'm talking about is why this guy gave up the more competitive Premier League and chose Ligue 1. Some people say he can't adapt to the Premier League, and some people say he's acclimatized or something."

"But according to reports in West Ham United's local newspaper, he had a heart problem due to a medical examination."

"Although African players have good physical fitness, you can't guarantee that they will suffer from various diseases."

"It's like the Young Lions Project that the Dalian team had. How many of them were stuck at customs?"

"Although I don't know if it's true or not, since then, Vivian Fu has not been as hardworking as before on the court."

Hearing this, Jin and Chi frowned and closed their mouths.

Everything Zeng Zheng said greatly exceeded their expectations.

I thought Zeng Zheng would analyze this game based on the opponent team's tactics, style of play, and experience in past games.

But I never thought that Zeng Zheng would tell a lot about the players' personal situations.

It's okay that Lauren and Graeme are out of position.

Do you know that Vivian Fu has a heart disease?!

How much information did you check before the game?

The coach who led the team before, who would care about your problems?!

Even if this kind of information is passed to his ears, he will turn a deaf ear.

It seems to be in line with what Zeng Zheng said.

The Chinese team has already passed the ball to the front of the Cameroon penalty area.

Vivian Fu was still running back slowly just past the center circle.

It seems to be participating in defense, but in fact it has been staying away from the main "combat zone".

At this time, the ball has reached Zhang Xiaorui's feet.

Seeing Zhang Xiaorui dribbling the ball, the Cameroonians also perked up and became nervous.

Lauren and Gremi stood sideways, hands behind their backs, staring at the ball at Zhang Xiaorui's feet without blinking.

He was afraid that his opponent would speed up or feint and deceive the two of them away.

Olympic Games, Confederations Cup.

Zhang Xiaorui has already branded himself as "China's Maradona".

With such a player holding the ball, the defender is extremely nervous.

Just as Zhang Xiaorui was pulling the ball sideways, looking for a passing gap, a yellow sneaker suddenly stretched out.

Whoosh!

This sneaker was inserted directly into the middle of Zhang Xiaorui's legs.

Didn't touch the ball!

Zhang Xiaorui, who was dribbling the ball laterally, tripped and fell to the ground.

When the foot wearing the yellow sneaker was retracted, people were surprised to find that the player's other foot was actually wearing a red sneaker.

FIFA does not have regulations that say players cannot wear different sneakers on the field.

Many players also choose special tattoos and hairstyles to show their personality.

In fact, wearing different sneakers is also a way to show your personality.

But why do so few people do this?

"Because such a player will not only attract the attention of the referee, but also the attention of the opponent."

Zeng Zheng spread his hands and gave his answer.

“After being deliberately ‘entertained’ by referees and opponents many times, there are far fewer players wearing strange shoes.”

"Nowadays, any player who still wears sneakers like this is either a rookie who is just starting out, or he is out of his mind! To use our Northeastern saying, it means a donkey kicked his head!"

Zeng Zheng pointed at Riggbert Song who was warned by the referee and said, "This guy is this kind of player!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Speaking of which, Rigbert Song can be regarded as the defensive general of the Cameroon team.

Not only can he play multiple positions on the field, but he has good physical fitness, is strong and powerful in confrontation, and his playing style is also very aggressive.

But his shortcomings are also obvious.

This guy couldn't control his strength and always got into fouls because of his sudden tackles.

Four years ago at the World Cup in France, 21-year-old Rigobert Song played for the first time as the captain of Cameroon.

As a result, in the 1-1 draw with Chile, Riggbert Song received two yellow cards and was sent off.

Besides his dark skin and toned body, the impression this guy leaves on others is his two-color combat boots, one red and one yellow!

As a veteran of the team over 25 years old, Song will never reach the status of a spiritual pillar like Mboma.

On the contrary, in Zeng Zheng's view.

This Cameroonian veteran is a time bomb in his team.

Zhang Xiaorui listened to Zeng Zheng's command and deliberately brought the ball in front of him.

Whoosh!

Li Jinyu's free kick slid past the goal.

It did not pose much threat to goalkeeper Songao.

Seeing this free kick being kicked directly into the stands by Li Jinyu, Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Hehe both expressed a little regret.

"Oh, Li Jinyu's kick was a little too high. It seems he didn't hold it down."

"Hehe, it would be great if I could always score a goal against France, hehe..."

Different from Ou Chuliang's control of the rhythm, Songao immediately kicked the ball towards the center circle.

Gremi jumped high and forced the ball over Li Tie's head to get to the first place where the ball landed.

Lauren flew up and moved the ball forward with her right foot.

After looking up, he sent a long pass directly towards Eto'o's back.

Eto'o's speed is so fast!

So fast that his teammates couldn't accurately predict his movement.

So this kick, Lauren's kick was high, fast and urgent.

Eto'o also lived up to expectations.

Spreading his legs, like a gust of wind, he rushed past the Chinese team coach Xu Qian.

"This ball...should be going out of the baseline, right?" Jin Zhiyang's eyes widened.

"Looking at this speed, maybe we can catch up..." Chi Shangbin also felt confused.

Only Zeng Zheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, let him run for a while..."
