World Cup of Great Powers

Regardless of other teams, as long as they win the next two consecutive home games, the Chinese team can almost lock in a ticket to the World Cup.

...

On September 24, as the plane slowly landed in Shenyang, the enthusiasm of the fans heated up Shenyang again.

No matter whether the weather in Shenyang is cold or hot, Zeng Zheng always appears wearing his brown sunglasses.

From the inside out, Zeng Zheng's appearance has not changed much from four years ago.

His pace and posture are like those of a young man in his 18s and 19s. There is also a touch of confidence in his movements with his head held high.

Under the dim lights outside the airport, the fans couldn't see clearly Zeng Zheng's honest face.

What kind of expression will it look like under sunglasses?

Seeing the return of the expedition team, the crowd began to surge.

The fans also turned from talking to cheering.

Someone called Zeng Zheng's name loudly, and Zeng Zheng actually heard it, walked towards him, and waved his hand.

Just this moment instantly caused the fans to cheer like a tsunami.

After letting the crazy fans take enough photos, Zeng Zheng got on the bus.

Unlike others who shouted the names "Shen Si" and "Du Wei", many female fans just stared at Zeng Zheng's actions.

Zeng Zheng is 31 years old and is still unmarried.

A perfect son-in-law.

Many reporters came up to ask about the team and results, as well as when Zeng Zheng would get married.

In response to this question, Zeng Zheng proudly showed his wedding ring to reporters.

He also said, "The day when the Chinese team qualified was the day when Zeng Zheng got married."

For this reason, there was another wave of wild cheers under the bus.

After defeating the Thai team, Shenyang's "scalpers" immediately made a surprising statement: "The match between China and Bahrain will become a new growth point for Shenyang's economy!"

In order to experience the taste of this growth point, reporters specially came to Wulihe Stadium.

Sure enough, there are countless scalpers here and the crowds of ticket scalpers make people mistakenly think that the Chinese team has arrived at the stadium for training.

Near noon, the crowd of people buying and selling tickets outside Wulihe Stadium was so large that it could almost be compared to the Spring Festival Transport.

As the National Day approaches, the scale of ticket scalping here will become even more uncontrollable.

The strength of the Chinese team in this top ten competition not only surprised the "scalpers" at Wulihe Stadium, but also added a lot of worries.

Among them, the most unlucky and troublesome ones are undoubtedly those scalpers who have no foresight.

They sold their tickets prematurely.

It turned out that all those who bought tickets were my colleagues!

In contrast, for those scalpers with "National Day Battle" tickets printed on them, the tickets in their hands are like taking a helicopter ride, and the price is one per day.

After questioning, the scalper said that the ticket for the stand behind the goal was priced at 400 yuan.

If the reporter doesn't buy it, it may rise to 500 in the afternoon.

The reporter said in a slightly mocking tone: "You might as well sell it in two days, and the price may rise to 1,000 yuan by then."

"You think I'm stupid," the elder brother obviously didn't take the reporter's words to heart. "I'm just trying to test the market situation, which is also called throwing stones to ask for directions."

"I have a lot of tickets at home. Just take a look, 1,000 yuan or 1,500 yuan will be popular items when the time comes!"

"Just think about it, it's only happened once in four years. How many fans spent so much money and didn't see anything."

"But now that Coach Zeng is leading the team, winning and qualifying are basically a sure thing. Buy my ticket and wait to go home and have fun!"

And according to internal information, in addition to tickets for September 28, many scalpers also obtained home tickets for October 6.

The lowest selling price for this home ticket against Qatar starts at 3,000!

Because according to the current points form of the Chinese team, fans in that game are very likely to see fans qualify early.

Plus, the tickets are during the National Day Golden Week, so of course the price doubles!

...

September 28, 19:30 in the evening.

As the referee blew his whistle, the Chinese team launched the attack first.

Ou Chuliang returns as the main goalkeeper, and General Fan and Sun Jihai are recalled by Zeng Zheng.

On the defense line, except for Du Wei who played bravely in the last game, the other players are the main players.

In addition, Zeng Zheng once again formed the "Morning Combination" that fans are most happy to see in the Bundesliga.

After the kick-off, the Chinese team played very confidently.

The players' individual skills are exquisite and their teamwork is skillful. With the cheers of the fans in the audience, they quickly suppress their opponents.

In the first ten minutes, there were three consecutive shots in the penalty area, almost knocking on the opponent's door.

Although the Bahrain team is better than the Thai team, it is not much better.

They didn't pose much of a threat to the Chinese team at home. When they came to the away game, they were naturally like a fish on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.

In the 12th minute, Wu Chengying took a corner kick from the right.

The goalkeeper of the Bahrain team rode on Yang Chen's head regardless of his own safety and hit the ball with one fist.

However, Ma Mingyu quickly kicked the ball back into the penalty area. Xie Hui, who was on the line of the small penalty area, got the ball and turned around to push the ball. The ball easily rolled into the empty goal.

This was the Chinese team's fourth shot in the opening game and they scored a point.

After falling behind by one goal, the core of the Bahrain team's defense and captain Fadriman was injured while fighting with Yang Chen and left the field.

The Bahrain team is even worse.

In the 20th minute, the Chinese team took advantage of the opponent's failed corner kick and pressed forward aggressively.

Shensi received a direct pass from General Fan in the middle circle and went to the meeting alone. Unfortunately, the opponent's goalkeeper ran out of the penalty area in advance and destroyed the ball first.

In the 25th minute, Ma Mingyu moved his big kick in the midfield to the right side. After Xie Hui picked the opponent's defender, he quickly passed an overhead half-high ball.

The unmarked Yang Chen stopped the ball on his chest 10 meters in front of the goal and took a shot. Unfortunately, the opponent's defender caught the opportunity first and blocked it with his body.

"Du Wei has no room for performance today!"

Chi Shangbin clasped his hands behind his back, the old god was there.

Seeing the team's offensive, he felt a lot more relieved.

Du Wei performed well in the last game, and again in this game.

If Du Wei can still perform as steadily and crucially as he did in the last game, Bao Buqi will absorb him into the main lineup.

This is also in line with Zeng Zheng's personnel and tactical arrangement of selecting two people from the National Youth Team to join the team.

Who wouldn’t like a tall guy like Du Wei?

"Coach Chi, don't worry, we still have a substitute!"

"Substitute" is not "substitute".

National youth players Sun Xiang and Xu Liang are also sitting on the bench at the moment.

If the Bahrain team really poses no threat to the Chinese team, and the Chinese team can seal the victory early.

Zeng Zheng doesn't mind letting two more national youth players play to adapt to the rhythm of the competition in advance.

Not long after taking a 1-goal lead, the Chinese team once again expanded its advantage.

In the 42nd minute, Sun Jihai took advantage of the sideline ball and ran in from the right at high speed, followed by a pass from the bottom.

General Fan in the middle jumped up high under the cover of Yang Chen and Xie Hui, and headed the ball into the net.

This was a textbook pass.

The Chinese players on the field have already used it with ease.

When faced with the Chinese team's high-altitude bombing, all opponents could not match it.

After the start of the second half, Zeng Zheng followed the "agreement" and replaced the national youth player Xu Liang on the court to adapt to the game.

Seeing Xu Liang come on as a substitute, Xu Liang's family and friends in the stands couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers.

"Hey, Ryoko Ryoko, look here, here!"

"Liangzi, come on, don't let down Coach Zeng's expectations!"

"Liangzi, score one, look for an opportunity to score one!!!"

A fan nearby was curious and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, who is Xu Liang?"

"Here, it's the one who just came on!"

"Which one? I didn't look when I was replaced, so I don't know which one I replaced now!"

"Well, it's the one with the black hair. Yes, it's the little crew cut..."

Although the number was not directly revealed, the fan could see this young player who was comparable to Zhang Enhua and Wu Chengying at a glance based on the prompts.

As soon as Xu Liang came on the field, he used a pass to assist Yang Chen and almost scored.

Seeing Xu Liang almost assist and score as soon as he came on the field, the fans in the stands and Jin Chi on the sidelines were very excited.

"Oh, I found a treasure, I found a treasure!"

"This young national youth player has no stage fright at all!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it would be great if all our young people were like this."

Xu Liang's appearance can be regarded as a conclusion to this game.

That is - the Bahrain team had insufficient evidence, and the Chinese team secured the victory in advance.

At least that's what the reporters in the press box thought.

Seeing that the game was coming to an end, the coaching staff also began to draft some post-game summaries.

The Iranian team has just defeated Qatar at home and is clinging to the Chinese team in terms of points.

This is not a good sign.

But it can inspire the team to deal with every game seriously and strive for victory in every game.

Of course, Zeng Zheng does not want to delay the possibility of qualifying until the last away game against Iran.

But if the Iranian team is good enough, the suspense of first place in the group will really be put in this last game.

Then Zeng Zheng must try his best to help the team gain a greater advantage before then.

For example, the main players without injuries, and more goal difference and points.

Just when Zeng Zheng started drafting the press conference, the stadium suddenly erupted into cheers again.

Thousands of red balloons flew up in the stands, and countless fans wearing red jerseys stood up again and waved their arms like the previous two times.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Goal! Goal, my god, this kid actually scored!" Chi Shangbin grabbed Jin Zhiyang's wrist and said,

Pulled him to the sidelines.

"Yeah, you really did a good job for us. I didn't expect that I actually got in!" Jin Zhiyang also touched his palm repeatedly.

Looking at Xu Liang, who was surrounded by the team members in the center, the coaches all had a look of relief on their faces.

"This is Xu Liang's first goal in the adult national team!"

Huang Jianxiang called out the greatest achievement of this goal.

A national youth player opened his scoring account for the adult national team for the first time in the World Cup preliminaries after being promoted to the team.

This kind of experience is enough to inspire Xu Liang for a lifetime, allowing him to keep moving forward and growing.

Xu Liang, who was surrounded in the center, forced her way out of the crowd, then rushed to the sidelines, making various faces at the camera.

At the same time, the big screen in Wulihe also began to replay the free kick that just bypassed the wall and flew into the dead center of the goal.

Seeing this free kick that was comparable to a Bayern-style arc, Xu Liang's family and friends shouted again.

"Xu Keham, Xu Keham, Xu Keham!"

Xu Liang is also a bachelor. He lifted up his jersey directly towards the camera, revealing two rows of Chinese characters: "For every 10,000 practices, there will be a goal."

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Fans were talking a lot.

But Zeng Zheng knew.

Xu Liang, this young man, can be said to have practiced hard to the extreme on free kicks.

After normal training every day, he has to practice at least 300 free kicks for himself.

It was precisely because of these hard training that he was able to score a corner kick in the Asian Youth Championship, and he was able to use free kicks to open up his goal account in the top ten competition.

You know, there is no shortage of free kick masters in the Chinese team today.

Zhang Xiaorui, Shen Si, Ma Mingyu, Li Jinyu, Shao Jiayi, Sun Jihai... all of these people have a unique free kick.

In this comparison, Xu Liang's free kick goal seems even more precious.

However, the fans in the stands misinterpreted Xu Liang's meaning.

"It takes ten thousand shots to get one in?"

"Is it time for this kid to buy a pair of glasses?"
