World Cup of Great Powers

"Coach Zeng, how do you plan to play in the China-Africa War?"

"Will the absence of Coach Zeng, General Fan and Li Tie cause irreparable consequences to the game?"

"Coach Zeng, you have once again temporarily taken over the coaching staff of the national team. Are you confident in taking the team into the top 16?"

As soon as Zeng Zheng appeared at the press conference, the spotlights flashed in his face.

At this moment, Zeng Zheng was like an international star.

I'm afraid that even if Schwarzenegger comes, he won't be as "shineing" as Zeng Zheng.

Don't look at the announcement of the coach's dismissal from get out of class in South Korea earlier.

But the Chinese team plays first after all.

Zeng Zheng stole the limelight of the "coach change".

On this point, no matter how "efforts" South Korea tries, it will not help.

Due to General Fan's suspension, Xu Hong attended the press conference with Zeng Zheng.

Two people, one wearing hair wax, sunglasses, and a suit;

One was wearing a player's sweatshirt, a 37-pointer, and casual shoes.

At first glance, they look like brothers.

But everyone at the scene knew it.

Zeng Zhengke is the youngest national team coach in the history of the World Cup.

No matter how the Chinese team performs in this World Cup.

The Chinese team has already left a strong mark in this World Cup.

But it was not Horton who wrote this, nor the national team.

But Zeng Zheng.

Using such a young coach to coach the national team?

Still playing in the World Cup?

Are you kidding me?

Does Brazil dare?

Does Italy dare?

Does the German team dare?

Does Argentina dare?

National teams that are likely to reach the World Cup are all rushing to rank and compete for the championship;

The national teams that have worked hard to reach the World Cup are trying their best to qualify from the group stage;

The national team that has entered the World Cup for the first time has tried hard to show itself in these three games.

No team at any stage would dare to "gamble" with such a young coach.

28 years old is the golden age for football players.

With all the top players in football at this age playing on the field, who has the time to coach the team?

Therefore, it is almost difficult for anyone to break the record set by Zeng Zheng.

From this perspective, Zeng Zheng is actually on the same level as Fontaine and Bailey.

...

When faced with questions from reporters, Zeng Zheng spoke eloquently.

"How to fight? Just fight how to fight."

"The Chinese team is capable, and reaching the World Cup is not our limit!"

"In this game, we have to use our strengths to the end!"

...

"The 22 team members all have their own specialties and abilities. In my opinion, there is no absolute main force."

"The advantage of using substitutes is that the opponent will know nothing about us."

"The best lineup is not that everyone is healthy and has no cards, but that after being matched, it can perfectly restrain the opponent."

...

"I don't want to say more about the team's results."

"What I want to say is that when it comes to the World Cup, every team is victorious and a winner!"

"Of course, I have requirements and goals for myself and my team."

"As far as I am concerned, as long as the team performs normally today, at least we will not end up as the deputy squad leader."

"It's even possible to create one or two Chinese football historical records."

...

Zeng Zheng’s answer was quite satisfactory.

He is mature and mature yet still has the domineering look of a young man.

Domestic reporters at the scene were very supportive of Zeng Zheng.

After all, without Zeng Zheng, they wouldn't be here.

The foreign reporters were speechless after hearing Zeng Zheng's speech.

I thought that China's bamboo shoes, which had entered the World Cup for the first time, were falling into "civil strife" and planned to break the pot;

But judging from Zeng Zheng's words and deeds, it seems that he really has two brushes.

Anyway, the game is about to start.

It's a mule or a horse, let's take it out for a walk!

...

June 24, 3pm.

Bordeaux, Parc Lescourt.

The stadium, which can only accommodate 35,200 fans, was actually crowded with more than 40,000 fans.

For political achievements.

The mayor of Bordeaux also took the risk.

Temporarily add seats and recruit more security personnel.

Fortunately, the fans who came to the scene were all here to cheer for the team.

Those Chinese fans who were able to "temporarily" buy tickets and squeeze in were too late to be grateful, so how could they cause trouble?

As soon as the fans entered the stadium, they quickly found their seats and started setting up.

Those who pull the banners pull the banners, and those who play the instruments tune the music.

After the fans gradually formed a large scale, they began to sing various familiar songs in small teams.

With shouts of "Come on Team China", the scene was quickly covered in red.

An English reporter exclaimed: "Where in the world can you find such good fans?"

Another reporter replied: "The Chinese team is the guarantee of their appearance!"

There are such a large number of fans traveling with the team.

How many teams are there in the world?

Rossi and his group came, as did Lao Rong's family.

Familiar faces who often appear on the sidelines and in the camera also flocked to the court one by one.

After watching so many games together, the fans have become familiar with each other.

"Hey, buddy, are you here too today?"

"Yeah, they're all here to support the national team!"

"Did you bring a horn this time? If you didn't bring a horn, I can still play it for you!"

"No, no, no, this time I will play my own trumpet..."

I ignored the shocking words from the seat next to me.

Lao Rong took out small flags, bells, horns and other cheering props from his backpack, and distributed them to his wife and children one by one.

At the end of the day, there was only a bottle of champagne left in the backpack.

He bought it locally after coming to France.

The aim is to open directly when the Chinese team scores the first goal.

But twice in a row, he carried it back the same way.

"Champagne, champagne!"

Lao Rong shook his head and stroked the bottle.

"I hope today's game will give me a reason to cheer!"

...

"This is a war!"

In the stadium lounge, Troussier stared at his players with a serious face and said, "All I ask now is that you reach the top 16!"

"The Chinese team is not strong, I won't allow you to give up early!"

Omar Troussier, nicknamed the White Wizard.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Last year, after leading Nigeria to the World Cup, Troussier was fired by Nigeria.

He then led the Burkina Faso team to fourth place in the African Cup of Nations held on home soil.

Then, he came to the World Cup with the South African team.

Having coached in Africa for nine years, Troussier knows African players well.

On the other side, Zeng Zheng was giving his last pre-war speech with his players.

"Being better than the best is better than the worst."

“Japan and South Korea are still out 1”

"No one should have any mental burden."

"In this game, the most stressful thing is our opponent South Africa."

"We just play honestly, and whatever results we achieve are the result of everyone's hard work."

"I don't want any of you to have any regrets after the game."

After Zeng Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the time.

"Okay, let's go enter."

After saying that, Zeng Zheng dodged and leaned against the door, revealing the path leading to the players' tunnel.

The team members stood up and walked past Zeng Zheng one by one.

Every time he passed by a team member, Zeng Zheng gave him a high-five.

After receiving Zeng Zheng's blessing, the players walked towards the tunnel with their heads held high.

Looking at the players in front of him, Wang Junsheng asked cautiously.

"Lao Chi, tell me the truth. If you were to lead this game, what would you think?"

Wang Junsheng still asked this question after all this time. Chi Shangbin thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"Leader, I don't have any good ideas."

"But if I were to lead him, I would be like Coach Gao 10 years ago at most."

The Coach Gao mentioned by Chi Shangbin is Gao Fengwen.

In 1988, Gao Fengwen led the Chinese team to the Olympics for the first time.

At that Olympics, the Chinese team lost to West Germany 0-3 in the first round and lost to Sweden 0-2 in the second round.

In the last game, Gao Fengwen deployed his troops and generals to the best of their abilities.

In the end, they tied with Tunisia with a score of 0-0, earning the Chinese team their first World Series points.

At this point, Gao Fengwen also left his own mark in the history of the national team's participation in the World Series.

"0 to 0, right?" Wang Jun said, "What's the point of that?"

0 to 0 is the most boring draw.

Where can we satisfy the appetite of fans?

In the words of fans, "It's better to be hungry than not to eat at all!"

On the other side, Troussier also met the South African team leader in the player tunnel.

Faced with the team leader's cautious inquiry, Troussier smiled contemptuously.

"It doesn't matter that everyone is entering the World Cup for the first time."

"If I can't even win the Chinese team, I might as well go to China to coach!"
