World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 219 Training the National Team

The National Olympic and National Football Team practiced together, and the Hongta Base attracted the attention of reporters and fans.

However, after Zeng Zheng started training, the fans watching on the scene were a little confused.

Simple passing and catching, ordinary scrambling games, and regular crosses and shots.

All this seems to be no different from what previous coaches did.

Only the goalkeeper's training is something new.

Fill the water bottle with sand and spread three rows over the wicket line.

In this way, when the ground ball shot hits the mineral water bottle, it will be refracted and changed direction immediately, making the goalkeeper overwhelmed.

Seeing this, the reporters couldn't help asking each other in a puzzled tone: "What is Coach Zeng doing?"

"Does he want to win games by developing a super goalkeeper?"

In the 76th minute, Shao Jiayi got a great opportunity for a one-handed goal, swung the HK goalkeeper and scored the ball.

"When it comes to defense, he often makes unnecessary fouls in his own half, and then gives the opponent a deadly free kick."

Until injury time, Li Yi's beautiful long-range shot went out, and the score was fixed at 4-0.

"Look at the situation on the court, according to my tactical arrangement, if you are here to get the ball, what will you do next?"

In addition to the lack of mutual understanding, many people have already opened up.

Recalling that the club's coaches could only use a small broken blackboard for their own tactics, those players who had never attended Zeng Zheng's theory class couldn't help but burst into tears.

The 19-year-old Qu Bo can do double jumps, why can't others?
When everyone finished the turn-back running task, there was no time to rest.

"In the past, we had two major flaws in offense and defense. The offense was too fast, and even lost the ball too fast. Other players couldn't react at all."

Su Maozhen, Qu Shengqing and Shen Si on the offside line did not dare to move under Zeng Zheng's reminder.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again, and the HK team replaced the head star Ou Weilun.

In the 65th minute, Li Xiaopeng made a cross from the left to Li Yi. After the latter's strong shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, Li Yi quickly stepped forward to make a supplementary shot into the net;
In the 71st minute, Li Xiaopeng made another pass from the left, and Yu Genwei, who followed him, did not have the strength;

After several simulations, Zeng Zheng replayed each result.

"Coach Zeng, who is full of confidence, has given the fans great confidence."

"My God, I'm not dreaming, am I? Is technology already so advanced?"

Instead, according to Shensi's idea, the simulation continued.

This time, Qu Shengqing, who was no longer offside, stepped on his right foot and kicked the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

However, when they were told that there was still a half hour of theoretical class in the evening, the corners of many people's mouths drooped again.

On the court, the ball was passed to the striker without error.

"The last time the two teams met was in the 1998th Dynas Cup in 1. At that time, the National Football Team beat the HK team 0-[-]."

In addition, Zeng Zheng, the international footballer from abroad, also sent a copy to each of them.

After 8 rounds of voting, Zhao Junzhe's option of "possess the ball first, then cross the ground" was approved by most people.

There were still some things I didn't quite understand before, but after participating in thinking and projection simulation, I suddenly understood.

"With so many own players in the midfield, what I hope to see is not bloated accumulation and repetitive movement, but to use the limited space as much as possible to form effective possession of the ball."

"Good evening, audience friends."

Many international players who train for a day at the club still feel relaxed.

"Use the collective to control the ball and then look for offensive opportunities."

More than 20 Olympic players next door watched eagerly.

After that, the national football team tried to achieve full possession of the ball in the midfield according to Zeng Zheng's tactical intentions.

"Hey, I'd rather run two extra points on the field than take some rogue theory class."

During this period, Zeng Zheng replaced 6 players in a row, almost changing all the midfielders and frontcourts.

Considering that there is not much time left until next year's world preliminaries, Zeng Zheng asked everyone in the national team to buy a laptop, and then copy back the lessons Zeng Zheng taught and study them repeatedly.

The HK team formed a counterattack in the 10th minute. Zheng Zhaocong rushed forward with the ball, but was caught up by Li Weifeng who made up in time and destroyed the ball.

After a week of training, the National Football Team and the National Olympics were disbanded on the spot.

But Zeng Zheng didn't give any answer. Instead, he asked Shensi to go back and then asked a midfielder to come up to answer the question again.

Zeng Zheng didn't say anything.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Combining theory and practice.

In the 52nd minute, Ou Weilun hit the crossbar with a header and almost scored.

Zeng Zheng's whistle sounded again.

As for whether to read or not to learn, that is their business.

In addition to protecting the ball in the corner area, you can only force the goal from a small angle.

Shen Si, who was called, stepped forward and tiptoedly stood in front of the projector.

"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!"

"Come on, pick the first one and raise your hand!"

In the blink of an eye, the forward dribbled the ball into the corner of the penalty area.

But running back and forth is obviously more tiring.

Only then did they realize that Zhao Junzhe's optimal solution coincided with Zeng Zheng's tactical arrangement.

Shensi briefly observed the running positions of her teammates, then pointed to the winger on the other side of the court and said, "Give him a long pass?"

"Shensi, you, come here."

After the score became one-sided, the national football team began to gradually stop playing, but it also created several opportunities.

However, as soon as the ball landed, the two guards on the defensive side immediately pushed forward.

"That's right, didn't Boss Zeng say that it's best to hit the ground from this angle."

"No wonder the Jianglong team has such good grades, it turns out that everyone uses this thing in class!"

Under Zeng Zheng's order, the players started running on the court again.

At this moment, everything on the big screen returned to the tactical panel set by Zeng Zheng for the team.

"When the reporters asked before the game whether the national football team in the 02 World Cup could enter the finals, Coach Zeng gave an affirmative answer."

Shao Jiayi, the only one not offside, stepped forward to catch up and then headed the ball.

In the 3rd minute of the opening, with Zhao Jun's strong shot from outside the penalty area, the horn of the national football team's offense sounded.

"That's what I said, do you understand?"

At 5:[-] in the evening, after dinner, everyone gathered in the screening room, listlessly waiting for Zeng Zheng to start class.

In addition to the more relaxed skills training sessions, Zeng Zheng also increased the time for physical training sessions.

Immediately after the 7th minute, Qu Bo made a breakthrough pass from the right, and Shen Si, who outflanked from the left, fell to the ground and shoveled, which was saved by the outstanding HK goalkeeper Chen Jiaqi.

But Zhao Junzhe outside the penalty area was very alert and quickly passed the ball back to the penalty area.

Except for Xu Yunlong who was injured in the league, all the other 21 players were present.

"A team of two, catch the right short pass!"

"We can see that at the HK Stadium, there are already [-] fans entering the stadium to watch the game."

After a class ended, everyone was still in good spirits, and they all began to look forward to the start of the next class.

According to what Li Huajun said in an interview: Yu Genwei was selected to Zeng Zheng's team for the first time, plus he was a striker, so the initial requirements will be lower than others.

In the ensuing time, the adjusted national football team began to completely control the game.

"We have four midfielders. At certain moments, a centre-back can go forward and a striker can go deep, so we have up to six midfielders."

After everyone finished playing a round of the league, Zeng Zheng led the trained players down to HK to play a friendly match with the HK team to test the results of this week's training.

The training time in the morning and afternoon is only 3 hours in total.

Think about it too.

"It seems that Coach Zeng is not exempt! I don't know what rules and regulations will be memorized this time."

"If it were me, I'd have to keep a close eye on it no matter what."

After a while, Yu Genwei was the first one unable to hold on and fell to the ground.

"It's all connected."

"The fans have great expectations for Zeng Zheng's first game after becoming the head coach of the national team."

In this regard, Zeng Zheng did not punish him.

Two minutes later, it was Ou Weilun who received a long pass from his teammate from the backcourt and got out of the gap and hit the goal. The ball was caught by Ou Chuliang.

"In this way, even if the ball is accidentally lost, the opponent will not quickly form a counterattack."

However, when they saw that the projection equipment brought by Zeng Zheng could even achieve a 3D effect, everyone shut up.

In the 61st minute, the national football team passed the ball into the penalty area through a free kick in the front court, and Yu Genwei's volley shot hit the ball on the side net.

On Zeng Zheng's team, although he didn't run long-distance.

When they went to the court the next day, the team members who had pondered over and over again had a better understanding of Zeng Zheng's tactical intentions.

As he spoke, Zeng Zheng had a thought and added a spot of light on the court.

But after all, the tactics are not well understood, the coordination is rusty, and several consecutive mistakes have tested the defense led by Li Weifeng and Zhang Yanhua.

However, due to the relatively good overall defensive formation of HK, the national football team did not find a good opportunity until the 41st minute, when Shao Jiayi shot through HK's gate again with a long shot.

"In tonight's battle, the national football team is still more likely to win than the HK team, but it is not impossible for the battleship built by Zeng Zheng to capsize."

"I hope that Coach Zeng's theoretical class is not strict."

"Fuck, why do I feel like I'm watching a foreign blockbuster?"

Fortunately, HK's personal ability is too poor, and he did not pose a threat to the goal guarded by Ou Chuliang.

"What I'm broadcasting for you now is the HK football team, the home team, against the Chinese national football team led by Zeng Zheng."

"Do you think it is possible to cut in and shake these two people away?"

However, if the standard requirements are not met after the training date, it is very likely that they will be removed from the team.

"The national football team and the HK team have played against each other 30 times in the past 14 years. The national football team won 8 games and the HK team won three games, including the sad "5.19" battle."

Several frontcourt personnel muttered and continued to discuss this situation.

Two minutes later, it was Qu Bo who broke through from the right and made a pass. Shen Si, who came in from the left, hesitated for a moment and missed the chance to shoot.

"Everyone has seen it. There are 8 results in total. Which result do you think is most likely to lead to a goal?"

"Although the game is a friendly match, both sides attach great importance to it. The HK team set up a big prize for this game, trying to use the advantages of the home court to beat the Chinese team to improve its FIFA ranking."

Seeing this result, the fans who had been on tenterhooks finally put their hearts back into their stomachs.

At the post-match press conference, Zeng Zheng talked eloquently: "The purpose of coming to HK to play a friendly match this time is mainly to build confidence for the players."

"To be honest, if this game doesn't win more than three."

"I should have no confidence."
