World Cup of Great Powers

Relying on Shao Jia's key direct free kicks one by one, the China Youth Team won the first victory of this World Youth Championship.

It was also the first victory for an Asian team.

A score of 1 to 0 is not an upset.

After all, the strength of the China Youth Team and Zeng Zheng's reputation lie here, and a small victory over Portugal is also expected by people from all walks of life.

The main attention of the media after the game was also on the winning methods of the Chinese youth team and key players.

With this goal in the World Youth Championship, Shao Jia has always become the hottest player in Asia.

At the press conference after the game, Zeng Zheng, who had a small victory by one goal, put on a "sad soldier" posture.

"The Chinese team came to the World Youth Championship this time, one is to gain knowledge, and the other is to increase the technical and tactical level of young players and increase the experience of the competition."

"As for winning honor, it's secondary."

"If I were to predict, the championship and runner-up finals are likely to be played between Nigeria, Argentina and Brazil."

Zeng Zheng's answer can be said to have given the host all the face.

Adhering to the Chinese-style low-key, the result of a 1-0 victory over Portugal did not cause much waves in this World Youth Championship.

Apart from the fact that some scouts began to pay more attention to Shao Jiayi, the outside world also recognized the result of the China Youth Team.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

After returning to the hotel, Zeng Zheng deliberately released the ban and poured each team member a glass of "Guinness" beer.

Because of the influx of a large number of fans, the price of local beer in Nigeria has been rising.

The "Star" brand beer, which originally sold for 40 naira per bottle, now sells for 50 naira; and the famous brand "Guinness" beer has increased from 80 naira to 100 naira.

In addition to beer, the prices of soft drinks such as Coke and Sprite have also soared, from 10 naira to 30 naira.

Winning Portugal in the first game can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the whole team.

To put it bluntly, even if the remaining two games are lost, the national youth team still has a chance to qualify for the group stage.

Now with 3 points in hand, the National Youth Team has the initiative.

"Jiayi, how do you feel?" At the dinner table, Zeng Zheng specially summoned Shao Jiayi to his side and asked.

Seeing Zeng Zheng's "preference" to Shao Jiayi, the other team members were envious.

"It feels okay, and the World Youth Championship is not as difficult as imagined."

A goal has already been scored, and Shao Jiayi will inevitably "float".

"That's fine, keep this momentum, keep going!" Zeng Zheng nodded encouragingly, "Everyone has two arms and two legs, and we are no worse than foreigners. As long as we kick hard, we can win anyone!"

"Boss Zeng, I will work hard!" As soon as Shao Jia heard this, he quickly drank the beer in his glass to show his loyalty.

"Well, that's fine." Zeng Zheng also nodded, "Your footwork on the left is also very important. When you are on the court, don't just think about playing for your teammates. If you have the opportunity, you can also play for yourself."

"From the next game onwards, you will take the right corner kick!"

What Zeng Zheng said was undoubtedly to continue to mention Shao Jiayi.

Especially when Zeng Zheng asked Shao Jiayi if he had any idea to play football abroad, the other players looked envious.

"Boss Zeng, aren't you too biased? I also want to go abroad to play football!" Shang discussed with an aggrieved face.

Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes, discussing that of course he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

For a player with Shao Jiayi's talent, of course, the sooner he goes abroad, the better.

Most importantly, he is not a player on his own team, and he has no right to speak to him!

It will take a long time until the day when Guoan really releases him.

So this matter has to be prepared in advance, at least let Shao Jiayi have a background and an idea in his heart.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Seeing that everyone was almost finished eating, Zhu Guanghu stood up and cleared his throat.

"Everyone be quiet! Tell you good news!"

"Wang Zhuxi plans to come to Nigeria to watch the game in person after hearing that we won the game!"

"We have to work harder and keep working hard. We can't drive high and low, and let the good intentions of the bamboo mat go, understand?"

"Yo? Wang Zhuxi is coming?"

"Then we have to perform well!"

"Maybe I can be promoted to the national team!"

Looking at the excited players at the dinner table, Zhu Guanghu nodded in satisfaction.

At least these young people still have a certain "awe" in their hearts.

If this was replaced by those old fried dough sticks, I wouldn't be ashamed in my heart!

In fact, Wang Junsheng was planning to come to watch the match, but it was just not in time for the opening ceremony and the first match.

Of course, if the first game is lost, Zhu Guanghu will turn the flower head into "Zhuxi learned that you lost, so I came to the scene to cheer for you!"

This matter can only fool the hot-blooded young people on the team, and Zeng Zheng naturally won't point it out.

After the players gradually calmed down, Zhu Guanghu said again, "The second good news is that not only Wang Zhuxi is coming, but also Mr. Ladd, who is currently in charge of the national team's head coach!"

"Yahhoo!" Hearing the news, the team members were really excited.

When Wang Jun was born, it was nothing more than a few words of condolences, a little verbal bonus, and at most a few packs of pickles and fermented bean curd.

But Ladd is different.

This old Yugoslavian who temporarily took over as the head coach of the national team at the beginning of this year has brought a career, a future, and the pinnacle of football career development in the eyes of these young players.

If you perform well in front of Zeng Zheng, you may be able to enter the National Olympics, but if you perform well in front of Ladd, you may be directly selected for the National Football Team!

For a while, the players were gearing up and looking forward to the next game.

After more than 20 hours of flying in the air, Wang Junsheng was full of energy after landing.

What Portuguese team is that?
That's the team with Figo!
The Chinese youth team got off to a good start and won Portugal. Could he be unhappy?

When he came to the training ground, the players were training in full swing.

Wang Junsheng did not enter the field to disturb the players, but stood in the stands from a distance and watched for a while.

When the reporters gathered around, Wang Junsheng talked eloquently and spoke highly of this national youth team.

After more than half an hour, the national youth team ended their training.

As water had just been sprayed on the outside of the field, Wang Junsheng stepped on the muddy water and went straight to the National Youth Team, leaving a good impression of being "close to the people".

"The fuck are you afraid of getting dirty?"

When Wang Junsheng shook hands with the players one after another, seeing Xu Yunlong deliberately avoiding the muddy water station, Zeng Zheng followed closely behind and kicked him.

Aware of Xu Yunlong's strangeness, Wang Junsheng looked down, only to find that the field under his feet was extremely muddy, and the team members stepped on the muddy water with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

"Okay, everyone is tired after training, let's go back to the dormitory and change clothes!"

When the team members changed their clothes and came to the hall, Wang Junsheng also got ready, stood in front of the stage, and asked loudly, "Guys, what is the goal of our trip?"

"Win the championship!!!" The team members yelled according to the lines that had been planned long ago.

"Then how can we achieve our goal?"

"Do your best!"

Faced with the team members' answers, Wang Junsheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Players, some of you should be aware that we are actively applying to host the 2008 Olympics."

"But in fact, we have already submitted an application for this matter as early as last year."

"At that time, when Samaranch, the chairperson of the International Olympic Committee, saw the application we submitted, he said something that greatly stimulated me."

"At that time, he asked me, if Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games, where would our men's football national team be in 2008?"

"I told him it was at the World Cup!"

"And coach Zeng also helped us achieve this!"

"Now, whether it is the world ranking or the champion of the Asian Games, we are showing our strength to the world with practical actions!"

"The more difficult it is, the more I hope everyone will unite. Only in this way can we achieve the desired result."

".Although we won the first game of the World Youth Championship, I hope that in the next games, everyone will guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and face other opponents in the group with a normal heart."

"Finally, I wish you all the courage to fight harder, make great progress all the way, and win the championship!"

In the face of Wang Junsheng's impromptu speech, the audience quickly burst into cheers.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!!!" The team members shouted in unison.

At this moment, Wang Junsheng, who was excited to talk, sent the microphone aside, making a move he regretted most during his trip to Nigeria.

"Coach Zeng, can you also say a few words?"

Zeng Zheng took the microphone and coughed twice.

"Well, Zhu Xi, how much is our bonus for winning this time?"

After the staff took Wang Junsheng and other personnel to rest, Zhu Guanghu came to Zeng Zheng with a helpless face.

"Xiao Zeng, you still don't give the bamboo mat any face."

"If you want the horse to run, you don't feed the horse, what is that?" Zeng Zheng curled his lips, "It's worth talking about those empty words, and the bonus is real!"

"Okay, I can't say no to you." Zhu Guanghu shook his head, "You can figure it out yourself, and don't come to me to complain about your grievances when the bamboo mat will give you small shoes."

As soon as the words fell, Secretary Zhao accompanied by Wang Junsheng found Zeng Zheng.

"Coach Zeng, the volunteers are probably coming, please go and receive them."

Zhu Guanghu blinked, as if to say: Look, retribution is coming soon!

In this World Youth Championship, Zhuxie won a group of local college student volunteers for the team.

Considering that Zeng Zheng is the best foreign language on the team, this job finally fell on Zeng Zheng.

After taking over the errand, Zeng Zheng brought a few team members to the entrance of the hotel where the banquet was held.

As soon as I came to the hotel gate, I heard a burst of whistles.

"Hey girls, would you like a drink!?"

"Beauty, your figure is really good, do you want to try mine too?"

"Beautiful ladies, where are you going?"

Zeng Zheng had sharp eyes, and after glancing at the outfits of these two groups of people, he guessed their identities.

The students in their attire should be volunteers, and the other group of people are team members from Mali.

Seeing this group of volunteers being squeezed into a corner by the Malian team members, Zeng Zheng stepped forward and asked in English:

"Hello, are you volunteers at Obafemi Awolowo University?"

"That's right, sir, who are you?" The leading student seemed to have grasped at straws.

"We belong to the China Youth Team." Zeng Zheng signed up for his identity, and took out the ID card on his chest to light it up.

After seeing the national flag above, the Malian players, who were still full of bad eyes just now, chose to leave.

"Aren't you in a hurry? Let's eat and eat first. This meal is invited by our Chinese youth team." Zeng Zheng smiled slightly, "I still need your help in the coming days."

"It's okay, it's okay, we just came here not long ago!"

The leading man with glasses pushed his own glasses, and then introduced himself, "I am the leader of the volunteer group of the Chinese Youth Team, my name is Polo, this is my team member Heinze, this is Lan Jia, this is Pons." After speaking, the three black curly-haired boys also nodded at Zeng Zheng.

After shaking hands with each other in turn, Polo continued to introduce, "These are our sophomore girls, Lolita and Laila. They are also the only two female volunteers in our group."

"Coach Zeng, hello!"

"Coach Zeng, hello!"

The two beauties reached out and shook hands with Zeng Zheng one by one.

Seeing the two African beauties shaking hands with Zeng Zheng, the Adam's apple moved up and down with several young and middle-aged team members who came from Zeng Zheng, swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.

The weather in Nigeria is generally 27 octaves. These two female college students in revealing clothes are wearing green crop tops and jeans, wrapping their graceful figures at a glance.

Although she is an African girl, her skin color is not so dark.

"Are you Arabs?"

After sitting down, Zeng Zheng asked casually.

"Yes, Laila and I are from Egypt."

Lolita is very extroverted and announces her family as soon as she takes a seat.

"Egypt is good, we are all ancient civilizations." Li Yi interjected from the side.

"That's right, you are welcome to visit us in Egypt!" Lolita turned her head and winked at Li Yi.

Every time the long eyelashes flickered, Li Yi's heart also jumped.

After a few chats with each other, Zeng Zheng also understood why these people chose to be volunteers in the China Youth Team.

"Coach Zeng, we all applied on our own initiative."

"Yes, Coach Zeng, we are all fans of the Chinese team!"

"I paid attention to you at the World Cup last year."

"Coach Zeng, sign us up!"

"The Chinese team will definitely become the number one team in Asia!"

It seems that in last year's World Cup, the Chinese team still left a deep impression on Nigerian fans.

Unable to stop the enthusiasm of these college students, Zeng Zheng took the pen and notebook and signed his name on it.

After signing, Zeng Zheng suddenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Turning around, everyone was staring at Zheng Zhi.

The kid was signing Lolita's hand at some point, and Laila sat beside him obediently.

"What's going on?" Zeng Zheng asked curiously.

"Zheng is helping us read our palms!" Laila hurriedly replied, "China is such a magical country that you can tell people's fate from palm prints!"

"Then has he seen his own destiny?" Xu Yunlong and Li Yi clenched their fists so that the kaba rang loudly.

If there is no accident, Zheng Zhi will have to "account" after returning.

On April 4, the National Youth League and Uruguay played the second group match of Group D.

Before the start of the game, a Chinese reporter accompanying the team came to the hotel where the National Youth League team was staying and gave the National Youth Team a survey and interview report on key players from Uruguay.

After thanking Zeng Zheng and Zhu Guanghu repeatedly, they led the coaching staff to conduct a brief study.

As the runner-up of the last World Youth Championship, Uruguay lost the first game of this World Youth Championship. This game must be a victory, otherwise the group is likely to go home early.

This interview report focuses on the Uruguayan player Chevanton.

"Xiao Zeng, this player is fast and has good skills at his feet. If there is no accident, Uruguay will definitely attack around this player." Zhu Guanghu analyzed seriously.

After looking around, Zeng Zheng nodded, but still picked up another file.

"That Chevanton should be on guard, but this one named Diego Forlan, we can't be careless!"
