World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 243 It's All Big News

In the opening game of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team, which just won the bronze medal from the Olympic Games, VS their old enemy South Korea. This game not only attracted the attention of domestic fans, but also attracted great attention from the Asian media.

Which team loses the ball is the "Asia's No. [-] brother"?
Maybe this game will show it.

"Isn't Coach Zeng a bit overbearing this time? If you let anyone go, you can't let Lao Fan go!"

"General Fan performed well in the Olympics just now. Why don't you use him? Is there any conflict between the two of you?"

"In the past, with General Fan on the court, I felt at ease watching this ball. Now that there is no old Fan on the court, the Chinese team's defense may be weak."

After seeing the training list of the national football team, the fans talked a lot about the absence of General Fan Da.

When it came to the game, the stands were full of such arguments again.

Over the years, I have been used to watching General Fan fight for the country, and suddenly I can't see him in a field like the Asian Cup, and the fans are inevitably a little worried.

When players from both sides entered the field, many reporters joked in the press box: "Hey, let's guess how the score is?"

"Okay, how much do you say?"

"I guess it's 3 to 1, South Korea 3, us 1?"

"Ah? Why?" Qin Xue opened her small mouth in surprise, her face full of surprise. "Is that why you don't trust Coach Zeng?"

"It's not that I don't believe in Coach Zeng. You see, among the four referees today, three are bald." The reporter who guessed South Korea's victory explained solemnly, "Three of them are bald near South Korea. The only one not bald near us."

"So I venture to guess that South Korea should score three goals in this game."

"In the end it was a 3-1 victory over us."

The reporters followed the eyes of this observant colleague, and it was true.

The three bald referees looked particularly shiny in the reflection of the lights, making it easy to think of South Korea's goals in this game.

Seeing such a scene, many reporters sighed.

"Well, if only the referee in the middle had more hair on his head, we could have drawn 2-2 with South Korea."

The grievances between the Chinese team and South Korea have lasted for more than 20 years. Every time the two teams played against each other, the press would make a lot of articles about grievances and hatred.

Up to now, even whether the referee has hair on his head has become an opportunity to predict the results of the two teams.

Among the reporters at the scene, many rushed to write after hearing this remark, and wrote the title of the article "The Referee's Hairstyle in the Sino-Korean Battle Has Already Foreshadowed the Results of the Match".

While many fans were discussing, Shensi, Ma Mingyu, Yang Chen and Li Xiaopeng played a series of wonderful cooperation in front of the South Korean penalty area.

When Shen Si sent the last second pass, Qu Shengqing almost formed a 1V1 situation with Jin Longda.

Facing Hong Mingpu who was defending him, Qu Shengqing raised his right leg and cleverly made a false shot.

By the time Hong Mingpu reacted, it was already too late.

In the restricted area of ​​South Korea, Hong Mingpu slid past Qu Shengqing with his whole body, and at the same time blocked Jin Yongdae's sight.

After deceiving Hong Mingpu away, Qu Shengqing swung his right foot decisively forward.

The ball went out with a "whoosh" and got into the lower left corner of South Korea's goal.

When the referee's whistle sounded, many fans in the stands hadn't taken their seats yet.

Some of the fans who were squeezing their seats in the aisle hadn't realized it, but they were taken aback by the fans who stood up suddenly.

When they came back to their senses, they immediately joined the cheering group.

"Pretty!"

"It's so beautiful!" Huang Jianxiang clapped his palms.

"Qu Shengqing!"

"Only 2 minutes into the game, Qu Shengqing opened the scoring for the Chinese team."

"Let's watch the replay again, it's a brilliant play from the frontcourt players."

"The frontcourt players of the Chinese team made a series of one-kick passes in front of the penalty area of ​​South Korea. In the end, Qu Shengqing drove away Hong Mingpu and succeeded in stabbing and shooting."

"1 to 0!"

"The Chinese team has made a fantastic start!"

The opening goal of the Chinese team caught everyone by surprise.

"Ah, the Chinese team scored a goal!" Qin Xue whispered.

Seeing the goal of the Chinese team, the colleagues of the two teams who just used the referee's hair style to tease the colleagues of the two teams didn't take it to heart, but still grinned and joked: "Ah, the Chinese team scored this goal so quickly?"

"Wouldn't it be that South Korea will pour three balls in a row?"

Hearing such morale-damaging words, Qin Xue couldn't bear it any longer, and muttered, "Why isn't the Chinese team 3 and South Korea 1?"

"According to the distribution of bald referees, it is also possible that South Korea was scored three times and the Chinese team was scored one!"

"In this way, isn't the Chinese team beating South Korea 3-1?"

The colleagues laughed after hearing this, "It's fine if you want to understand it this way."

"Anyway, it's only 4 goals, whoever you like will score?"

Most of the football journalists in China are not football fans.

It doesn't matter what the result of this game is, what matters is whether there are any gimmicks worthy of their bragging.

After Qu Shengqing completed the opening blitz, the camera lens quickly found the coaches on both sides.

When Qu Shengqing scored a goal, Xu Dingmao was still directing other players to run.

At the moment when he saw the ball entering the net, he hadn't reacted, and he was stunned for two seconds before he realized that he had lost the ball.

Then the South Korean veteran closed his eyes, lowered his head and shook his head back and forth a few times.

I don't know if I knew this earlier, or I was unwilling.

In short, judging from his expression, he was obviously extremely disappointed.

On the contrary, Zeng Zheng in front of the Chinese coach was more calm.

When all the other colleagues were clapping their hands in congratulations, Zeng Zheng just stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist, then tidied up his new suit neatly, and continued to stand on the spot pinching his waist.

When the camera zoomed in and took a closer look, what Zeng Zheng was wearing turned out to be William Westermancourt's ultimate custom-made suit.

Some "savvy people" were surprised from ear to ear when they recognized it, "Fuck, this suit is 60W from head to toe, right?"

In the entire Maojiawan Football Stadium, Zeng Zheng is the calmest Chinese.

Whether it's the new and old grievances with South Korea, or the recent agreement with Zhuxie.

Zeng Zheng has long been prepared to use the Asian Cup to make his own "name".

After so many years of training and accumulation, how strong is this Chinese team and what level is it?

Not only fans, Zeng Zheng also wants to use this Asian Cup to get a feel for the first national team he built.

In Zeng Zheng's view, whether a country will be called a football powerhouse, and whether a team will be called a football powerhouse, there is a very convincing indicator.

That is whether it is a regular visitor to the World Cup.

If a team never misses every World Cup, no matter how bad it is, it will still be the top 32 in the world.

Like the Chinese team's "blind cat met a dead mouse" last time, relying on opponents' infighting to enter the World Cup does not meet the standards at all.

What Zeng Zhengzhi said is that for each world preliminaries, the Chinese team must lock in a qualifying spot.

Regardless of whether the World Cup will expand in the future, whether there will be more or less places in Asia, and whether Australia and New Zealand will join the AFC
Abandoning all the elements of previous calculations before the world preliminaries, and turning these considerations into the opponent's worries, this is what Zeng Zheng wants.

Except for Japan and South Korea in the next World Cup, there will only be 2.5 places in Asia.

If they are divided into two groups, only the first place in the group can ensure the qualifying.

It is also just to use this opportunity to set the tone for the future Chinese team.

As long as it is the world preliminaries, the first place in the group must be the goal!

High standards and high requirements can create a high-capacity and high-intensity team.

Today's South Korea is nothing more than Zeng Zheng's small experiment.

After the Chinese team scored a goal after the opening, Xu Dingmao was also busy like ants on a hot pot.

In fact, after South Korea was eliminated in the last nine finals, South Korean Zhuxie wanted to replace Huo Dingmao.

But the news reports of the Chinese media at that time were too rampant, and even threatened that as long as the team led by Zeng Zheng met Xu Dingmao, he would definitely win.

In addition, after the China-Korea match, Zeng Zheng himself said that as long as he meets South Korea's 352, he will win.

In this way, it just happened to provoke the hard string in the brains of the South Koreans.

Didn't you say that you will definitely defeat our Xu Dingmao?Well, we will use Coach Xu to defeat you;
Didn't you say that against our 352 is a must-win game?Well, we will use 352 to fight you head-on.

South Korean bamboo shoes want to use Xu Dingmao and 352 to hit the face of the Chinese media, Chinese fans, Zeng Zheng and the Chinese team, but Xu Dingmao is very bachelor, he can only use 352.

In other words, the formation he has built for South Korea over the years is 352.

In this way, it goes up to South Korean bamboo shoes and down to South Korean coaches.

They brought this set of 352 with the highest tacit understanding to the Asian Cup.

Zeng Zheng was also convinced when he encountered such a tough stick.

Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!

In today's Chinese team, there are overseas players like Li Tie and Yang Chen, and there are also players like Li Weifeng who were brought up by Zeng Zheng from a young age.

These players were all carefully selected by Zeng Zheng, and they did not lose the slightest in the 1V1 confrontation. This first broke the worst problem of South Korea against the Chinese team in the past.

Secondly, in terms of cooperation, these players have already achieved a tacit understanding after being trained by Zeng Zheng.

In partial confrontations, the Chinese team used to have a significantly higher passing and receiving error rate than their opponents. After getting the ball, they always like to stop, look, and pass again.

But now, the Chinese team's cooperation in a small area is very smooth and layered.

Even a "returnee" like Yang Chen who doesn't often play under Zeng Zheng can quickly adapt to the fast-paced style of European football in the team.

Third, in terms of tactics, Zeng Zheng's 442 has many changes. Whether it is a parallel position or a diamond layout, Zeng Zheng's 442 is slightly different in every game.

Compared with the Chinese team, which could only fly with two wings and hold high, Zeng Zheng also created more ground coordination for the team while maintaining the advantage of high-altitude balls.

While the players, coordination and tactics are not weaker than the opponents, Zeng Zheng's strong personal charm and Maojiawan's strong on-site atmosphere have made the players' self-confidence reach the peak.

The right time, the right place, the right people and all three, in Zeng Zheng's view, there is no possibility of South Korea winning the game!
After leading by one goal, the Chinese team completely suppressed their opponents in momentum.

The South Korean players fought desperately in the middle, but found that everyone was trapped in the "defensive quagmire" of the Chinese team's midfield.

Especially when some South Korean team members are in a hurry to jump the wall and fight fiercely, Li Tie, the cabbage head, will face the difficulties immediately.

Facing this one-cell, one-tendon defender, the South Koreans also complained endlessly.

Whether it was a flop or a real shovel, none of them benefited from Li Tie.

Soon, in the 8th minute of the game, the second goal appeared.

This time, it was Yang Chen who ran out of space in South Korea's penalty area, but before he could shoot, he was tackled to the ground by South Korea's defender Park Jae-hong and won a penalty.

Frankfurt's leading striker personally took the penalty, and the penalty hit the lower left corner of the goal steadily. The Chinese team rewritten the score to 2-0.

Seeing the team score again, the fans in the stands were completely excited.

"Aha, leading by two goals in less than 10 minutes? My God, am I dreaming?"

"What kind of dream? What kind of dream? Coach Zeng even brought back the Olympic bronze medal. Isn't the little South Korea easy to catch?"

"No wonder Coach Zeng dared to let General Fan go back to the club. It turns out he still kept such a trick."

"Tsk tsk tsk, we scored two in 10 minutes, so don't we have to score more?"

In the reporter's seat, Qin Xue looked proud.

"Look, I told you that the three bald referees lost the ball to South Korea, you still don't believe me!"

But at this moment, no one is responding.

These reporters all took out their mobile phones at this moment, edited the text messages as quickly as possible, and sent the latest news here to the headquarters.

When the editor of the "Asahi Shimbun" received the text message, there were only a few numbers on it.

"8 minutes, 2-0."

"2 to 0?" Seeing the score, the editor was a little uncertain.

"Mr. Kawaguchi, look, this is a text message from Kojima at the scene. But he didn't indicate the team. We are not sure whether this 2-0 is China 2 or South Korea 2?"

Editor-in-Chief Kawaguchi laughed, "Who cares? Two goals in 8 minutes, isn't that big news?"
