World Cup of Great Powers

There are a total of eight teams participating in this Toulon Cup.

In addition to the host France team, there are also Argentina, England, South Africa, Portugal, Brazil and Germany.

The eight teams are divided into two groups and compete in a single round-robin.

The top two teams in the group advance to the semi-finals, and the third and fourth places will also be decided.

On April 23, all Jianlibao team members returned to China after completing their studies, disbanded and went home for the holidays;

On May 10, the team assembled again, led by Zhu Guanghu, with Zeng Zheng as assistant coach, and headed to Toulon, France.

Before leaving, Zeng Zheng on the plane still kept talking about Big Brother.

"...Brother Sun, everything else is easy to say, but you have to watch over that kid."

"Come on, Mr. Zeng, don't worry as long as I'm here! In Liaozu, even if I quit now, Liaozu will still give me some face."

Thanks to the propaganda of Director Wan, the first winter camp of Huayuankou Youth Training Base was successfully concluded.

Since it is a preliminary operation, the students are also targeted at primary school students in grades 1-3 in Dalian.

With Zeng Zheng and Jianlibao as their signatures, a total of 57 students were recruited this winter.

Under the guidance of coaches such as Sun Xianlu, these 57 students not only solidified the basic skills of football, but also developed a strong interest in football.

Now that summer vacation is about to begin, at least 40 of these 57 students still want to participate in the upcoming summer camp at the Huayuankou Youth Training Base.

Sun Xianlu is now the head coach of the youth training base and can receive a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan.

Although it is only a fraction of what it was when he was in Liaoning Football Club, for a retired player, this number is already quite large.

However, Sun Xianlu also has a way to make extra money, and that is to help Zeng Zheng poach Liaozu players.

Since Jianlibao returned to China, the relationship between Zhang Yin and Zeng Zheng has become increasingly tense.

When Zeng Zheng approached him to cooperate, Liaoning Football Team was being relegated, and Zhang Yin, who was cultivating youth training talents for Liaoning Football Team, had been frustrated.

The two are not exactly incompatible, but they share the same interests and want to rebuild a strong team affiliated with Liaoning.

However, in three years, many things will happen that were never imagined at the beginning.

For example, now, Zhang Yin has replaced Wang Hongli and become the head coach of Liaoning Football Team.

At this moment, Zhang Yin, who was "flattered", threw himself on Liao Zu again.

Not only did it unilaterally terminate the contract to help Zeng Zheng train and transport talents, it even asked Zeng Zheng to take back the property rights of several Jianlibao players such as Li Jinyu.

However, Zeng Zheng had been on guard against this move for a long time. The players he had "acquired" in the past six months were all named by Party A under his name, Zeng Zheng.

Because of this, Zhang Yin even warned Zeng Zheng overtly and covertly.

If the property rights of several people are not handed over, they will not be able to survive in Liaoning.

Zeng Zheng really didn't pay attention to such a threat.

At worst, I won’t go to Shenyang!

Can you still chase me to Dalian?

Of course, Zeng Zheng was not unambiguous in the face of threats.

On the surface, he was arguing with the other party, but privately, he was using Sun Xianlu and others to "secretly infiltrate Chen Cang".

This season, Liaoning’s second team was named the “Entrepreneurship Team” and signed up to participate in the second division league.

As soon as this team debuted, it immediately attracted the attention of clubs across the country.

Signing up for the second-tier league is not necessarily for the first-tier league.

The reason why many clubs' second teams sign up is purely to test the team.

To put it bluntly, the second team of Liaoning Football Team exists solely to supplement the combat strength of the first team of Liaoning Football Team.

Liaozu stayed in A-B for three years.

This time Zhang Yin came on stage and vowed to achieve success.

Nowadays, old players like Sun Xianlu in the Liaoning Football Team are retiring and transferring.

If Liaozu really wants to rush back to Class A, its reserves must be sufficient.

For both public and private purposes, other clubs cannot just watch the Liaoning Football Team's second team successfully participate in the second division.

During the year, there will definitely be several players poached by other clubs.

As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.

Since Liaozu dared to release this team, they were naturally ready to cut their flesh and feed it to the eagles.

Now we have to see whether this eagle is a blind eagle or a sharp-eyed eagle, and whether the people in charge of Liaozu can retain real talents.

So far, the second team of Liaoning Football Team has played three games in the second division, with a record of two wins and one loss.

Just looking at these three games, many clubs are ready to make a move.

Cui Guanghao, Zhang Haifeng and Wang Xinxin who scored goals have become the favorites in the eyes of various clubs.

In order to win over these players, Zeng Zheng often gave gifts to the manager of Liaoning Football Team.

Giving gifts is a gift, but there is a lot of knowledge involved.

First of all, Zeng Zheng just established a good relationship with the other party. Even though the two knew it well, they did not make their intentions clear.

With the previous experience of Locomotive Shanshan, Zeng Zheng now has to guard against people like Liaozu doing this to him.

Therefore, he will never reveal who he likes or wants until the last moment.

You know, in the football world, Zeng Zheng is just a newcomer.

The relationship between them is intricate.

It's very possible that you were taking a bath with this boss today, but that guy will sell you out tomorrow.

The players you like through hard work through data accumulation and analysis will directly become someone else's wedding dress.

Zeng Zheng has made so much noise in the past six months that half of the people in Jianlibao have been taken away by him.

Now many people are secretly watching Zeng Zheng.

In their view, the inexperienced Zeng Zheng was just a walking butter cake!

So even Sun Xianlu didn't know who Zeng Zheng was after.

He only knew that Zeng Zheng was very optimistic about the young men born around 1980 in the second team of Liaoning Football Team.

.....

The plane took off.

Looking out the window at the white mist, Zeng Zheng closed his eyes and planned to take a nap.

In the past six months, I have been traveling all over the country, even on transportation, and I have never been idle.

If the Toulon Cup wasn't about to start, he would still be arguing with club owners and investors in China!

In half a year, he will lead the team to Haigen for spring training.

Even though it was barely enough, Zeng Zheng had a headache when he thought about the home court and team that had not yet been confirmed.

Buy a club, rent a venue, recruit teaching assistants, hire foreign aid, manage logistics, pay wages, take out insurance, do publicity...

After using this combination of skills, my two million yuan is not enough to make a living.

But there's not much time left now.

Even if he drives the ducks to the shelves, he still has to pull this team out for a walk.

After the Toulon Cup, the question of whether the Jianlibao players will stay or leave will be made public.

At that time, fans will see that there are still so many players on the same team.

If I didn't bring out the results, I would really be in disgrace for eternity!

Maybe, I really have to go to Brazil and find a club where I am familiar with before to make a living.

As he thought about it, Zeng Zheng's thoughts suddenly drifted far away.

After being tense for a long time, this was a rare opportunity for Zeng Zheng to rest.

But right at Zeng Zheng, a hand suddenly rested on Zeng Zheng's shoulder.

Then, a loud voice sounded in my ears.

"Uuuuu, Boss Zeng, you can't stop me from appearing just because I'm not hanging out with you!"

"You know, my mother has the final say in our family!"
