World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 237 My team is in charge

"Kindergarten Teacher Program"?
"Screw the bastard!"

In the hotel room, after hearing this proper term, Zeng Zheng pursed his lips, with disdain written all over his face.

"Brother Zheng, you don't like this plan?" Miss Qian looked surprised, "I thought you would be very supportive!"

"Why do you think I will support it?" Zeng Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Didn't you always say that our players go out and foreign players come in? Now we can train a group of young foreigners for our own use. Isn't this more cost-effective than spending a lot of money to hire Weah's old star?"

This summer, former African Footballer of the Year George Weah officially signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Jianglong team and transferred to A-A.

The arrival of Weah not only made A-A "brilliant", but also made A-A become the biggest league in Asia!
Everyone knows that with Weah's fame and strength, he came to the Far East to make money;

But it is undeniable that titles such as World Footballer and African Footballer can indeed deter some youngsters.

In Ms. Qian's opinion, spending so much money to hire a Weah who is about to retire is better than spending hundreds of thousands to cultivate a star herself.

They were all black anyway, and they didn't look any different.

"NONONO! You have completely misunderstood it!" Zeng Zheng picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, then walked to the window and opened the curtain.

On the street downstairs of the hotel, Chinese faces can be seen everywhere.

Although the Olympic semi-finals lost, there is still a third and fourth finals to play.

The fans still showed great support and enthusiasm.

"When I say players go out, I mean that when our league is not as good as others, we can learn more about the level of the world's top leagues, play more against the world's top teams and opponents, and accumulate experience."

"As for whether they are willing to come back to participate in the Guozihao competition after they become famous, I think as long as there are more people going out, I can always make up a team of 11 people."

"As for foreign players coming in, I don't really want some foreigners."

"What we want is their football level, and more importantly, their existing reputation in world football."

"If we want to bring in a foreigner who wants nothing, why not cultivate a local player of our own?"

Miss Qian nodded after listening, "That is to say, you don't like this plan?"

"Of course not!" Zeng Zheng affirmed, "First of all, our culture is different from the little life next door. In the matter of naturalization, it will arouse public anger."

"Secondly, we can obviously train better players ourselves, so why train foreigners?"

"Another one is that even if there are foreigners who sincerely want to play for our national team, it is not impossible, but they have to show an attitude."

"For example, check whether one or two generations have Chinese blood, whether they agree with our culture, whether they have settled in our country for a certain number of years, whether they have our green card, whether they have enough ability, etc. All these need to be carefully examined one by one. , rather than relying on a so-called youth training program.”

"at last."

Having said that, Zeng Zheng snorted coldly.

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

"Who knows what's going to happen if we bring a bunch of teenage black Africans to our place?"

"You can't even imagine the accidents they can create!"

"If it is not managed well, it may cause international disputes."

"Do you think it's enough to just train players?"

"Look, this group of foreigners has come up with a lot of moths before they reach adulthood!"

"At that time, someone has to come and wipe their ass!"

"puff!"

At the end, Miss Qian couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, then I will tell Mr. Zhang that I will not vote for this matter."

"Mr. Zhang? Which Mr. Zhang?" Zeng Zheng asked immediately with sharp ears.

"Of course it's Mr. Zhang from Shide. I heard that his family has shares in several listed companies in Dalian!" Ms. Qian blinked, "Should I introduce you? They happen to be fellow villagers!"

"What kind of fellow, he and I are not fellow villagers!" Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes and rejected Miss Qian's "kindness".

"Ah? Why is this! I promised him that I will attend his dinner tonight and say that I will build a bridge for you!"

"What? You promised to eat?" Zeng Zheng frowned, "No!"

"why?"

"If I say you can't go, you don't want to go!" Zeng Zheng pouted, "If he can come up with such a bad move, he will lose all his wealth! It's better for you to have less contact with such people!"

"But I already promised him!"

"Then find an excuse to push!"

"What excuse?"

Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes, put down his teacup and turned around. Miss Chen Qian hugged her waist unexpectedly and threw her on the bed.

"Ah! Brother Zheng, you, you!"

Being attacked by Zeng Zheng and throwing herself on the bed, sniffing the breath of the man who was close at hand, a blush instantly appeared on Miss Qian's face.

"Just say you're tired, so you can't go!"

"But brother Zheng, you, you still have a game to play, can, can you do it?"

"What's wrong?" Zeng Zheng said domineeringly, "Anyway, I have overfulfilled the task this time, and I have to play in person, what are you afraid of him? And let me tell you, I have been under a lot of pressure these days." Daddy, if this goes on like this, I might be overwhelmed!"

When Ms. Qian heard this, she immediately wrapped her hands around Zeng Zheng's neck and her feet around Zeng Zheng's waist.

"That can't be done! How can you hold back my housekeeping brother?"

Zeng Zheng grinned when he heard the words, and glanced at the cell phone next to Miss Qian's pillow, "Turn it off!"

Miss Qian stared at Zeng Zheng's eyes, fumbled with her right hand a few times, but failed to touch the off button.

Just when Zeng Zheng wanted to help her, the phone was thrown out by Miss Qian with a "bang", and hit the wardrobe, the battery cover and battery flew out.

"Ah, this"

Before Zeng Zheng could speak, Miss Qian stepped forward and bit Zeng Zheng's lower lip.

"Let's get started, Brother Zheng."

With the Olympic Games coming to an end, there are only two finals left for men's and women's football.

For the men's football team, after Chile beat the United States 3-1, they joined Cameroon in the final.

The National Olympic Games competed with Tate and the United States for the third place.

On the women's football side, in the just-concluded third and fourth finals, Germany defeated Brazil 2-0 and won the women's Olympic bronze medal.

In the final match the next day, it was still a confrontation between China and the United States.

It can be said that the attention of the football event in this Olympic Games has been completely taken over by the two football desert powers of the East and the West.

Men's football competes for bronze, while women's football competes for gold.

Such a schedule has completely surpassed the football game itself.

After wrapping up Ms. Qian's quilt, he took a cup of warm water from the thermos cup next to the bed. Zeng Zheng dressed neatly and attended the impromptu meeting held by Zhuxie.

In the room, Wang Junsheng demanded righteously: "Whether it is men's football or women's football, you must do your best to win the game like a final!"

Ma Yuan'an curled his lips after hearing this, Lao Tzu's women's football is the final!
Zeng Zheng raised his hand in protest and said, "Uncle Wang, this is different from what we agreed upon!"

After hearing this, Wang Junsheng blushed and coughed a few times.

"cough cough"

"Coach Zeng, please call me Wang Zhuxi, Head Wang, or Team Leader Wang here. Please don't confuse life with work."

Zeng Zheng still looked disdainful.

As agreed in advance, it is enough to enter the Olympics, and there are no more requirements.

Now I have led the team to score, won the game, qualified for the group, and even reached the semi-finals.

And I have already promised the players that in the last game, all the players who have not played will go up to compete.

You suddenly imposed a hard requirement on me in this last match, of course I will make you unable to step down!

"Coach Zeng, this is a temporary task from above."

"Because no one thought that we could make it to the Olympic semi-finals before."

"Now that we have entered the semi-finals, of course we must try our best to win a medal."

"And there is only the last game left. Everyone grit their teeth, work hard, show fighting spirit and fighting spirit, and we will definitely win!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Junsheng cleared his throat on purpose and asked his colleagues to help out.

"That's right, Coach Zeng, we're already here, why don't we work harder to achieve better results?"

"Coach Zeng, this is the first time the men's football team has had the chance to win an Olympic medal. How could they miss such a good opportunity?"

"Coach Zeng, I know you want to use the Olympics to train players, but there are still thousands of fans in China who are paying attention, just waiting for our men's football team to get a medal and go back!"

"An Olympic bronze medal for men's football is much more valuable than gold medals in other sports!"

"Coach Zeng, think again!"

You and I persuaded everyone, but Zeng Zheng didn't even have a chance to intervene.

He simply sat there with his arms folded, without saying a word.

After the big guys finished speaking, seeing that Zeng Zheng was silent, they turned their attention to Wang Junsheng again.

Seeing this, Wang Junsheng could only bite the bullet and ask, "Coach Zeng, what do you think?"

"Since everyone wants medals so much, that's great!" Zeng Zheng spread his hands, "Give me the starting list, and then I will start according to the arrangement, and it's over? It's even the best time to change which player to play. So write it down for me, lest you lose and blame me when the time comes."

"Ah this."

Zeng Zheng's almost "rogue" wording hit the weak spot of everyone present.

In key games, the starting lineup is arranged to replace the coach, which has been done a lot before.

But now it's different.

Zeng Zheng's performance has been getting better and better after coaching, and the suggestions of some high-ranking people and fans have become more and more marginalized.

Back then, fans calling for Li Tie's replacement might have shaken the morale of the coaching staff, but now when Zeng Zheng is leading the team and someone shouts that again, they will definitely be labeled as "ball blind" immediately after the game.

This is what Zeng Zheng has achieved in the past few years.

It can be said that in today's domestic football, Zeng Zheng's tactics are the weathervane and the "imperial decree"!
"Coach Zeng, aren't you making fun of us by saying this?"

"You are the head coach, and of course you will arrange the personnel and tactical arrangements for the last game."

"What's the point of letting someone else do it for you? This is the responsibility of your head coach!"

When it came to the end, Wang Junsheng also stiffened.

He also has good reason.

Since Zeng Zheng first coached in 97, Zhu Xie has never participated in any team led by Zeng Zheng.

Even if he wanted to intervene at first, it was finally not possible because of Zeng Zheng's strong opposition.

So even though there was such a "tradition" before, Wang Junsheng still dared to pat his chest in front of Zeng Zheng and say - we have never used that method on you!

"That's right!" Zeng Zheng shrugged, "Football games, how can there be a game that you can win?"

"I can only do my best to let the players fight for the victory, but what happens in the end is out of control."

"Maybe we didn't score a hundred shots in the whole game, and the opponent scored a goal with a random kick?"

"No one can tell what happens on the court!"

Wang Junsheng nodded hurriedly when he heard the words: "Yeah, what Coach Zeng said is right, as long as you do your best to win."

"As long as our team shows the hard work we played against Cameroon."

"Coach Zeng, is this all right?"

Seeing Wang Junsheng's earnest expression, Zeng Zheng didn't bother to refute.

The game against Cameroon was simply a special case.

On the one hand, the players refused to admit defeat, on the other hand, there is also the desire for victory and championship, as well as some objective conditions and so on.

But this three or four finals is different.

The three or four finals have always been considered the most boring "finals" of the cup.

There is no hope for the two sides to compete for the championship, and the final will usually be played as an exhibition match and a practice match.

But because the Olympic Games have to decide the bronze medal, the third and fourth finals of the Olympic Games are really more intense than those of the World Cup.

And for weak teams like the Chinese team and the U.S. that have never won an Olympic bronze medal, the third and fourth finalists really cannot be used for training casually like some European powers.

But the problem is that after the team members fought against Cameroon, they have reached the point where they are exhausted.

General Fan and Li Weifeng are the main players who have played 5 games.

But if they are allowed to continue to start the next game, the physical bar will only be half at the beginning of the game.

Considering the injuries of the players of different sizes, the combat effectiveness of the main players is not as good as that of the substitutes.

Of course, Zeng Zheng also promised all players.

No matter how well the games are played in this Olympics, everyone will have a chance to play, and the players should not be allowed to come in vain.

Fortunately, except for the goalkeepers Li Leilei and Ou Chuliang who have no playing experience, everyone else has more or less made appearances.

So no matter how important the three or four finalists are, Zeng Zheng has made up his mind not to continue using Liu Yunfei.

This is also what Wang Junsheng and others objected to.

In the beginning, I advocated using Liu Yunfei and you opposed it, but now I don’t use Liu Yunfei, and you all disagree.

How can there be so many good things that make you happy?

I have decided this game, I will definitely change the goalkeeper!
On September 9th, in Sydney, the men's football finals officially started.

For the National Olympics, the starting goalkeeper is Ou Chuliang.

The four defenders are Wu Chengying, Xu Yunlong, Shu Chang and Sun Jihai;
The four midfielders are Li Tie, Zheng Zhi, Zhang Ran and Shensi;

The two forwards are Li Jinyu and Qu Bo.

It is also a helpless move to discharge such a starting lineup.

In fact, apart from suspensions and injuries, there are not many players who can play in the National Olympics.

Except for Zhang Ran, a substitute player in the midfield, all the others are "scrapped"!
After seeing the starting list submitted by Zeng Zheng, Wang Junsheng stopped Zeng Zheng in the player tunnel.

"Xiao Zeng, what's going on here? What is your starting arrangement?"

"What's the matter? Commander Wang, is there a problem?"

Looking at Zeng Zheng, who looked like a "loafer" with his mouth curled up in front of him, Wang Junsheng also looked helpless.

"Xiao Zeng, there is no one else here, so we can call him whatever we want."

"Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, bamboo mats!" Zeng Zheng continued after emphasizing the three "official titles" of Wang Junsheng, "Now is the working period, and we must not confuse it with life!"

Wang Junsheng suppressed Zeng Zheng's ambiguity, pointed to the starting team members and said, "Xiao Zeng, didn't you promise well in the meeting a few days ago? This game is going all out to win. But look, you are starting."

"What's wrong with the starting lineup? Is there any problem?" Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes, "Could it be that you let the man on crutches go up and kick?"

Now there are already two people on crutches in the Olympic team.

One is Zhang Yuchen, who is wearing a plaster cast, with two crutches, and the other is Zhao Jun, whose knees are wrapped in gauze, and is leaning on an auxiliary crutch.

But this is not the Paralympic Games, how can they let the two play?

"No! I mean goalkeeper, goalkeeper!" Wang Junsheng emphasized.

"What's wrong with the goalkeeper?" Zeng Zheng pretended not to understand, "Is there something wrong with Ou Chuliang? If he has something wrong, I won't take him in the Asian Cup. What do you think of the bamboo mat?"

The words "Asian Cup" choked Wang Junsheng enough.

Different from the Olympic Games, this Asian Cup Bamboo Shoes is rushing to win the championship!

Yes!

You are not satisfied with my default goalkeeper for the Asian Cup, who else do you want to use?
Seeing that the goalkeeper couldn't make sense with Zeng Zheng, Wang Junsheng could only point to the two central defenders and said, "Xiao Zeng, look at these two central defenders, don't you think they are hanging?"

"I know Xiao Fan and Xiao Wei have been playing, and they are both tired."

"But you can't replace them all together!"

"It's okay to leave even one."

"Now that there is not one, what can we do with the defense?"

After Wang Junsheng finished speaking, he couldn't help pinching his waist.

Goalkeeper, I can't say enough about you, you don't need any of these two main central defenders who have not been suspended, you should give me an explanation, right?
Facing Wang Junsheng's doubts, Zeng Zheng still put on a confident look.

"Captain Wang, isn't this what you asked for?"

"I asked for it? When did I ask for it?" Wang Junsheng asked with a question mark on his face.

Why are you still beating me up?

"Didn't you say that we must strive to win, to win, to win this 'political war'?" When it came to the last three words, Zeng Zheng deliberately emphasized a bit, "Since you have said so, then I always Do you want to add some firepower to the frontcourt attack?"

"Think about it."

"If we can't start the game after halftime, or a midfielder is replaced due to injury."

"There must be someone on my bench who can take over, right?"

Wang Junsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at Zeng Zheng in disbelief, and said in horror, "Xiao Zeng, what do you mean?"

"What?"

"Captain Wang, have you forgotten?"

"General Fan can also play forward!"
