World Cup of Great Powers

The third round of the World Cup has not yet started, and news about South Korea changing coaches before the match continues to ferment.

After Cha Bum-geun got out of class, he had only coached the women's football team before. As Cha Bum-geun's assistant in this World Cup, Kim Pyong-seok, who participated in the 1986 World Cup as a player, was appointed at the critical moment and became the team that has been regarded as weak by the outside world and is expected to compete with the United States.

South Korean coach vying for vice president of this World Cup

After two rounds of group matches, Brazil, Nigeria, Romania, and Argentina have already qualified; the United States, Tunisia, Jamaica, and Little Japan have already qualified.

So although the Chinese team has also lost two games in a row, judging from the current group situation, the vice squad leader is really not on par with the Chinese team.

Faced with the situation of being eliminated, the Asahi Shimbun recently reported that the young star Hidetoshi Nakata said that he must score a goal in the last game against Jamaica to fight for honor and not let this World Cup go away empty-handed.

Return.

Seeing Hidetoshi Nakata's remarks, domestic fans nodded.

Yoo Sang-cheol also said in the Seoul Daily, "Although South Korea is eliminated, it still plays an important role in Group E."

"Because of the last game, South Korea will determine Belgium's fate of qualifying."

"If Belgium wants to qualify, it depends on their face."

"So in the last game, they will definitely fight for the South Korean fans and leave a deep impression on their opponents in the World Cup."

Domestic fans still agreed after hearing this.

Team members from Japan and South Korea have all expressed their stance, and Bamboo Shoes from South Korea has taken the lead in setting an example.

Our players or bamboo shoes, why don't you stand up and make a sound!

However, apart from the daily public training, no one in the Chinese team, inside or outside, said anything in front of the camera.

Although everyone can see the players and coaches, both the national team and the staff seem to have closed themselves off and completely cut off contact with the outside world.

.....

On June 23, at 19:00 Beijing time, three hours before the start of the third round of the World Cup, Bamboo Shoes finally dropped the big bomb it had been holding in for a long time.

Holden, like Cha Bum-geun, was suspended under investigation.

It is assistant coach Zeng Zheng who temporarily takes over from Horton to lead the team for the third World Cup game!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Those fans who were waiting to watch the World Cup were fine. They just bought two more bottles of beer and ordered two more plates of snacks.

The editors-in-chief of the media began to call the workers again and worked overtime to print, trying to seize the market as soon as possible.

Good guy!

You only released the news one day before the last game of the World Cup. You are so calm, Bamboo Shoes!

I made up my mind not to give the fans time to react.

However, this result is acceptable to everyone.

Who is Zeng Zheng?

Maybe after the top ten games, there are still some people who don’t know Zeng Zheng very well;

But after the Toulon Cup, there is no one in the football world who does not know Zeng Zheng’s name.

This young coach, who is only 28 years old this year, has gradually grown his image in the hearts of fans with his Toulon Cup championship.

This time Zeng Zheng once again stood up to take over the national football team, and there was much less opposition than last time.

There is only one reason.

That is, Zeng Zheng "broke" into this World Cup;

Even if all the performances are "wasted", only Zeng Zheng has this qualification.

Now Horton has lost two games in a row and is out of class, and is in deep trouble himself.

Zeng Zheng took over the national team for this crucial third game, and the fans were still very willing.

In the words of former Liaoning football coach Wang Hongli, "In this third game with Zeng Zheng, we will admit it even if we lose!"

All media outlets worked overtime and rushed out a special tabloid that only cost 50 cents in just one hour.

This tabloid, which is more like a brochure, introduced Zeng Zheng's life in detail, and also introduced the relationship between him and Jianlibao, as well as Zeng Zheng's outstanding achievements.

Most importantly, a color photo of Zeng Zheng was printed in the center of the tabloid.

Even the "Beijing Evening News" affectionately gave him a nickname: Fire Fighter Xiao Zeng!

In any case, seeing that the head coach of the national team has been decided, the fans' hearts were finally relieved.

...

At 10 pm Beijing time, the last two games of Group B will be played first.

Italy beat Austria 2-1, Chile beat Cameroon 1-1.

As a result, Italy qualified first in the group with 2 wins and 1 draw; Chile averaged three games and failed to win a game, and miraculously qualified from the group.

Then came the last two games of Group A. Morocco beat Scotland 3-0, but Brazil lost 1-2 to Norway.

In this way, although Morocco won the last game, they had no choice but to accept the result of packing up and going home.

After the last game of Group A, it was already 11pm on the French side.

"Beep."

Zeng Zheng pressed the switch on the remote control and turned off the TV.

Chi Shangbin couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Xiao Zeng, you've finished watching this game. Don't you want to express your opinion?"

In the two days since Zeng Zheng took over, he not only played the "empty city strategy" externally, but also "Xu Shu entered Cao's camp" internally without saying a word.

At the beginning, both the coach and the national team felt that Zeng Zheng needed to be given some time to adapt and adjust.

But the third game is about to begin.

Zeng Zheng not only didn’t plan any tactics, he didn’t even reveal anything about the team members.

Even in the past two days, apart from making daily schedules, the most I did was sit on a stool and daze, and sometimes I even got stuck eating.

No one knows what Zeng Zheng is thinking.

But it can be seen from his increasingly haggard face that Zeng Zheng is under tremendous pressure at this time.

"What's your opinion?"

Zeng Zheng poured himself a glass of boiling water, "Didn't you see how Norway qualified?"

"What do you mean?" Jin Zhiyang asked quickly.

"I mean, don't think too much, I'm not the Jade Emperor!"

Zeng Zheng took a sip of water feebly, "If the French team wants to preserve its strength like Brazil in the last game, it will be in vain even if we try to show off!"

really.

The situation of the Chinese team is different from that of Xiaori and South Korea.

In the early days, the fight with Jamaica was purely about honor. South Korea's opponent, Belgium, still had a glimmer of hope.

There are opportunities between the Chinese team and South Africa, but unlike the Danes, the opportunities are in their own hands.

"Two coaches, I will give you a try today."

"In the last game, I can only promise not to collapse."

"As for the result, whether it's a loss or something else, I can't make any guarantees!"

Seeing Zeng Zheng's haggard appearance, Jin and Chi looked at each other and sighed.

"Xiao Zeng, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself."

"Yes, yes, we are prepared for any outcome."

Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes.

You are all prepared, so why can't you two get along?

Is there any use in making sarcastic remarks at this moment?

"Xiao Zeng, don't worry, domestic fans will probably know that you are leading the team by now."

"You just need to function normally."

"Of course, if you can score a goal, that would be great!"

At the end of the story, the "little tails" of Jin and Chi were still exposed.

Zeng Zheng was too lazy to argue with the two of them now.

He stood up and sent the two of them out of the house.

Then he sat on the bed and continued to "be in a daze" again.

Since giving the nod to take over the national team, Zeng Zheng has been simulating the result against the South African team in his mind.

A game lasts 90 minutes, including sleeping time, and Zeng Zheng simulates at least 10 games every day.

In two and a half days so far, Zeng Zheng has simulated a total of 30 games.

With the current lineup of the national team, there is only a one-fifth winning rate.

No matter how Zeng Zheng adjusts the formation, changes the style of play, or changes players, the game always presents a one-sided situation.

In the few games we won, we either relied on counterattack goals, penalties or own goals, and the point difference was only 1 point.

Although this kind of simulated battle does not represent the real results, nor can it completely simulate the actual competition situation. After all, human psychological activities are the most difficult to understand.

Even so, it can still reflect the shortcomings of your own team from the side.

Using this function, the only thing Zeng Zheng can do is to improve the bottom line of the national team as much as possible, so as to prevent the phenomenon of complete collapse caused by mistakes in recruitment and substitution.

After another simulated game, the result was a 2-2 draw.

To be able to score two goals for South Africa is a result that Zeng Zheng tried his best to simulate.

After counting the time, Zeng Zheng lay down on the bed and fell asleep directly.

In the dream training ground, looking at the redemption points he had accumulated, Zeng Zheng gritted his teeth, took out 2,200 points, and called the names of 11 team members.

"Damn it, if anyone hasn't gone to bed yet, I won't let you play tomorrow!"
