World Cup of Great Powers

"Everyone knows that when World War II was coming to an end, Xiao Tian, ​​who was about to be defeated, formed a special force called Kamikaze in order to save the war."

"The meaning of the existence of this kind of troops is the same as that of KB elements, it is anti-human."

"Even so, there are still many brainwashed little days who fly planes to commit suicide."

"If there's anything commendable about Little Days, it's their ability to execute."

After hearing Zeng Zheng's description, Han Tao muttered in a low voice: "Compared with execution ability, it's more surprising that you are not afraid of death?"

"What do you know, kid?" Zeng Zheng slapped Han Tao on the head, "Our soldiers back then were not afraid of death! But is not afraid of death the same as not afraid of death?"

"Little Days has too many extreme characteristics."

"Knowing that it can't be done, have they done such a thing?"

"What supported them to do so during this period is execution."

"Like this game right now."

Zeng Zheng pointed with his hand, and everyone saw the little day players who were holding the ball and running towards their own half.

"The physical stamina of the young days is not as good as those of us who are waiting for work at leisure. In addition, they have been fighting hard until now, and their physical stamina has long been depleted."

"Even so, did you see that their formation was scattered? Did you see that their feet were crooked? Did you see that they didn't play according to the originally established tactics?"

Asked by Zeng Zheng, Li Huajun and others recalled the conceded goal just now.

Although there are personal strength and willpower factors such as Shinji Ono and Hiroshi Namami, in the final analysis, this is a team goal and a tactical victory.

Troussier, who formulated this tactic, is the biggest hero behind the scenes.

Because it at least proves that this tactic can score goals when facing the Chinese team.

"Then what should we do now?" Li Hui was a little anxious.

There is only one difference left.

If people get in again, the ball might collapse.

"They have the ability to execute, but that doesn't mean they have the ability!"

Zeng Zheng snapped his fingers.

"Let's change people too."

"They've already replaced two of them, and we're not allowed to replace one of them!"

"Then Coach Zeng, who shall we replace? Li Tie?" Li Huajun asked.

"Brother Jun, you really want your family." Zeng Zheng smiled slightly, "It's not impossible to change Li Tie, but it's not the best choice."

"Best choice?" Li Huajun was a little confused. "The guard that Xiaotian changed was to prevent our high-altitude ball attack, so the midfielder that was changed was the source of the goal just now. From this point of view, shouldn't we strengthen the midfield defense?"

"It's right to strengthen the midfield defense. This is what every coach can think of." Zeng Zheng nodded and pointed at Qu Shengqing who was warming up, "But I just don't change the midfielder."

"I want to change the striker!"

forward?

Li Huajun and Li Hui were full of question marks.

Qu Shengqing, who was called to the sidelines by Zeng Zheng, was very excited.

He also understands the situation on the field.

Isn't the coach calling him over now just to attack and score goals?

what!
It seems that Coach Zeng still doesn't intend to just let this little life go!
"Boss Zeng, what do you want?"

"After you go up, sit a little further back."

"Stand between Shensi and Yang Chen."

"When defending, you should be more diligent, and it doesn't matter if you run back to the penalty area."

"When attacking, you just use your strengths."

"Just remember one thing, don't be stingy with your physical fitness, don't keep your energy! I don't play overtime with the little RB."

"do you understand?"

At this moment, a football fell from the sky.

Shunsuke Nakamura, who was desperately chasing the ball, saw that the white line on the sidelines had started to slow down. Even if he could fly, he couldn't catch the ball.

Facing the incoming ball, Qu Shengqing, who was listening to the tactics with his head down, hadn't reacted yet, Zeng Zheng stretched out his right foot and firmly met the ball on his toes.

The moment the leather shoes collided with the football, Zeng Zheng withdrew his calf just in time to relieve the force of the football.

In the eyes of the fans and Nakamura, the ball did not bounce when it landed on Zeng Zheng's leather shoes, but landed steadily after a pause.

At the same time, Zeng Zheng retracted his right leg and quickly stepped on the ball under his foot.

"Sigh~~~"

"Whoo~~~"

"Wow!!!"

Zeng Zheng stopped the ball steadily, causing the fans on the scene to gasp, and then exclaimed again.

"Just remember it, let's go to the field."

Zeng Zheng patted Qu Shengqing on the shoulder and pushed him towards the fourth official.

"Ah NO" Shunsuke Nakamura, who stopped in front of Zeng Zheng, put on a modest gesture, and carefully pointed at the ball under Zeng Zheng's feet.

"Nakamura-san, right? We're going to change, so wait a minute."

As he spoke, Zeng Zheng pointed to the fourth official who had just raised his placard on the sidelines.Then with a flick of his toes, he gave the ball to the opponent.

After receiving the ball, Shunsuke Nakamura instinctively said "Arigado", then holding the ball, he obediently stood beside Zeng Zheng, waiting for the Chinese team to make a substitution.

At this time, Huang Jianxiang, who had reacted from the shock, also raised his voice and began to praise.

"Whoa!"

"Did you see the stop just now?"

"I didn't expect Coach Zeng to have such a skill!"

The fans at the scene were also extremely excited.

Because the loss of the ball just now made many people nervous, they put it back in their stomachs again.

"It's really a strong general who has no weak soldiers!"

"As expected of Coach Zeng, I didn't expect his skills to be so good!"

"Or how can we teach students like Zhang Xiaorui, Li Jinyu, and Li Tie?"

"Yeah, no wonder no matter how tough the thorny head is, he has to give in when he sees Coach Zeng. It turns out that Coach Zeng is also hiding his secrets!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, those are leather shoes. Judging from my 20 years of football experience, Coach Zeng is at the level of Beckenbauer at the very least!"

While the fans were discussing, the Chinese team also completed the substitution.

"The Chinese team replaced a striker here."

"It was Qu Shengqing who replaced Su Maozhen who made a wonderful assist in the first half."

Even Huang Jianxiang, who has been commentating for many years, did not understand Zeng Zheng's substitution.

But he was smart enough not to bring up the subject.

He knew that Zeng Zheng would explain everything with actual combat.

On the other side, Troussier frowned, and Kameda's assistant was flustered.

"Mr. Omar, what does the substitution of the Chinese team mean?"

"Aren't they going to keep the score till the end?"

"Do they still want to keep scoring goals?"

"Ba Ga, it's really hateful!"

I thought Shunsuke Nakamura's goal would make the Chinese team's lineup more restrained, but I didn't expect Zeng Zheng to replace it with a striker, which made Assistant Coach Kameda very panicked.

After hearing what the translator said, Troussier did not answer immediately. As Zeng Zheng's old opponent, he did not believe that Zeng Zheng just wanted to use a forward with more physical fitness to expand the score at this time.

Soon, the coaches of Little Days saw the role Qu Shengqing played after playing.

Under Qu Shengqing's retreat and defense, although the first line of the Chinese team's frontcourt cast by the striker to force the upper chain to break naturally, the thickness of the midfield defense has increased by some points.

Although Ono Shinji's pull and ball control can still play a role, whether it is Xiaotian's long pass transfer or short pass connection, it has added several layers of difficulty.

In this way, the Xiaotian players have to work twice or three times before before they can barely hit the ball in front of the Chinese team's penalty area, and then seek a good shot.

But in this way, the lack of physical fitness of the players became worse again.

"As expected of Coach Zeng!"

Troussier nodded, "Instead of replacing with a more physically fit defensive midfielder, why not just add a defensive player to the midfielder?"

Looking at the Chinese team that is about to become 451, Troussier had to turn his attention to the bench again.

The last substitution.

Do you want to save it until the end of the game?
Do you want to reserve an alternative for injury or physical exhaustion?
Troussier looked at the 3-2 scoreboard again, and shook his head first.

Before the score is tied, any preparations for injuries, physical exhaustion, overtime, and penalty shootouts are all nonsense.

What Xiaotian has to do now is to equalize the score as quickly as possible!

As for whether to go all out or retreat after the score is tied, it depends on the actual situation on the field.

After two consecutive small day attacks failed, Troussier decisively chose to play the last substitution card.

"Oh? Little Days has changed again!"

"The player who scored the goal was replaced by Mingxun Nishizawa, and he was replaced by Tatsuhiko Kubo who is currently playing for the Hiroshima Three Arrows in the J-League."

"In the past season, Tatsuhiko Kubo played 25 times for the Hiroshima Three Arrows and scored 13 goals. He was affectionately called the 'cold killer' by the local fans."

"Cold-faced killer?" Hearing this address, Shao Jia said in a low voice, "Isn't that Zhang Yuxie?"

Zhao Jun rolled his eyes, "Stop talking, you fake fan! Old Hei is a jade-faced killer!"

"Zhao Junzhe, come here!"

Just after complaining, Zhao Junzhe was called to the sidelines by Li Hui.

Zeng Zheng pressed his shoulders, pointed to the space in front of Wu Chengying and said, "That position is good, so you can take precautions before they happen, do you understand?"

"Understood, Boss Zeng!"

Faced with Troussier's third substitution adjustment, Zeng Zheng responded immediately this time.

Don't look at Xiaotian playing 352, but according to the tradition of Xiaotian, there has always been a "second striker" in the lineup.

In other words, there is often one more striker than the formation when attacking.

In this regard, Troussier does not need to replace the striker with a midfielder, but can directly replace the striker with insufficient physical fitness.

Regarding Tatsuhiko Kubo's ability to break the game, Zeng Zheng still chose to strengthen the midfield defense, allowing the opponent to have the ability to shoot, but he couldn't create a chance to shoot.

It is Zeng Zhengyi's usual practice to cut off the threat from the source.

After playing three substitution cards, Troussier turned around and returned to the coach's bench to sit down.

Assistant coach Kameda immediately took over his command and continued to yell "Baga Baga" from the sidelines.

Zeng Zheng's two substitutions were just right. Not only did the opponent not take advantage of the power after the goal to make another victory, but also strengthened the midfield defense, making Xiaotian's offense more difficult.

Correspondingly, Troussier's substitution effect has become minimal.

The situation in the first half reappeared on the court-the Chinese team attacked two or three times on average, and Xiaotian barely got a chance to counterattack, and it may not be possible to attack the Chinese team in front of the penalty area.

The most important thing is that although Zeng Zheng's two substitutions and adjustments were mainly aimed at opponents and defense, they still did not weaken the offensive ability of the Chinese team.

Qu Shengqing can run, rush, shoot, and is even better than Su Maozhen in terms of dribbling and shooting.

Although Zhao Junzhe's left-footed footwork is not as precise as Shensi's, his overall view and defensive ability are not what Shensi possesses.

Seeing this, the Chinese coaching staff finally understood why Zeng Zheng was not nervous at all after the Chinese team conceded another goal.

It turned out that Zeng Zheng had already expected that even if the goal was scored, it would be the last struggle of Xiaotian.

Just a flashback!
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the game soon came to the end.

Looking at the score of "ten thousand years of immobility", the little days are finally in a hurry.

"Mr. Omar, even counting stoppage time, there are still 5 minutes until the end of the game."

"The score is still one goal away, what else can you do?"

Facing the translator's hasty inquiry, Troussier calmly took a sip of the locally produced and sold mountain spring water in Maojiawan, and then said unhurriedly: "Mr. Kameda's command is already very good."

"I don't speak Japanese, and the effect of on-the-spot command is not as good as him."

"In moments like these, it's up to the players on the field."

Hearing the words, the translator also sighed, and relayed Troussier's words to Kameda.

"Baga!" Kameda cursed loudly.

"I knew he would say that!"

"These white Gs from Europe won't help us sincerely at all!"

After all, Kameda pulled out the baton at his waist, stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Attack, attack! Give the duck, give the duck!!!"

Hearing Kameda's fanatical yelling, several elderly fans in the stands behind the Xiaori coach's bench couldn't sit still for an instant.

He jumped up from the seat with a "bass", and was about to draw his gun and aim.

Seeing this, the children at the side hurried forward to appease, "Dad, uncle, don't get excited, don't get excited."

"Little days are going to commit suicide, little days are going to commit suicide!"

An old man grinned when he heard the words, "Are they going to have seppuku?"

"Yeah, hara-kiri, hara-kiri."

"Hmph, it's almost there!"

Another old man put down the drumstick in his hand when he heard the words, and he was about to use it as a machete and rush out just now.

At this time, the physical fitness of the Xiaotian players on the court has reached the point where they are exhausted.

Hearing Kameda's shouts, everyone forcibly cheered up and rushed to the Chinese team's half.

At this moment, Wu Chengying, who was under too much defensive pressure, had no choice but to give the opponent a corner kick.

Seeing that it was a corner kick, Zeng Zheng, who was just about to make a substitution to hinder the opponent's fighter, shook his head.

When the opponent takes a corner kick, it is better not to substitute.

This time, in order to tie the score, even Kawaguchi Nouko abandoned the door and participated in winning the top.

Morioka Takashi was left in the midfield.

Because his own goalkeeper also rushed into the penalty area, coupled with the strict defense of the Chinese team, Shunsuke Nakamura did not choose a tactical corner kick this time, and kicked the ball directly over the small penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

Facing the incoming ball, the defenders of the Chinese team in the penalty area are ready to fight.

In the absence of General Fan, Heizi Zhang Yanhua took on the important task of leading the defense.

Watching the ball continue to fall, at the critical moment, Zhang Yanhua leaped high, forcibly grabbed in front of Kubo Tatsuhiko, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

However, before the ball hit the ground, it was kicked back by the Xiaotian players.

This time, the target is Naoyasu Takahara who is in the back spot.

Similarly, Li Weifeng, who was focused at 120 degrees, contributed a precise tackle at a critical moment. While the ball was rolling, he fell to the ground and blocked the ball with a sliding tackle.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhi rushed forward to chase the ball.

Just when everyone thought he was going to kick the ball directly out of the sideline, Zheng Zhi, who was chasing the ball, made a 180-degree turn and kicked the ball high into the forward field.

Whoosh!
The ball soared into the sky, bringing the eyes of all the fans and the camera lens over.

At this moment, the fans were surprised to find that Qu Shengqing had already crossed the half court at some point, chasing the ball at a distance of two or two more than Takashi Morioka.

???

"My God, when did Fatty rush out?"

"Is Fatty too fast?"

"Qu Shengqing! Qu Shengqing! Qu Shengqing!!!"

More, it is the shouts and shouts of Chinese fans.

Qu Shengqing rushed to the falling ball and pushed the falling ball forward with one foot.

At the same time, with his arms outstretched, he swooped across the Little Days like a glider.

The backcourt of Xiaotian was empty, except for Ryuzo Morioka who was desperately chasing back, there was not even a goalkeeper.

It's true that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly.

Isn't Qu Shengqing's arms raised flat to celebrate the goal in advance?

When Qu Shengqing caught up with the football rolling forward again, he had already rushed to the front of the small day's penalty area.

Looking at the fans standing up behind the goal and cheering with arms raised, Qu Shengqing lightly pushed with his right foot.

The ball, which was slowly advancing, suddenly accelerated and burrowed into the net.

"Wow!!!"

At this moment, the joy that had been accumulated for a long time finally burst out.

Maojiawan Stadium once again fell into a sea of ​​joy.

"The ball has been scored!"

"The ball has been scored!"

"The ball has been scored!!!" Huang Jianxiang shouted three goals in succession.

"It was Qu-Sheng-Qing who scored the goal!!"

"At the last moment of the race, Qu Shengqing once again staged a scene of riding alone for thousands of miles."

"This is simply a must-goal!"

"Facing the empty door of the small days, Qu Shengqing accomplished it overnight!"

"4 to 2!"

"The Chinese team scored another goal!"

"Qu Shengqing completely killed the game!!!"

Amidst the cheers of Huang Jianxiang and the Chinese fans, Ryuzo Morioka, who chased all the way to the top of the arc, fell to the ground and covered his face with his hands.

All the other Xiaotian team members stood with their waists pinched, their heads bowed in silence.

Qu Shengqing was so excited after scoring the goal.

He took off his shirt directly, held it in his hand as a banner, and cheered around the venue.

Looking at the figures of the Chinese players running past shaking their jerseys, Assistant Coach Kameda let go of his hand, and the baton in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

At the same time, Kameda's bent legs also knelt on the land.

It's over, it's over.

Qu Shengqing's goal brought the game to an early end, and also warmed up the happy atmosphere of the scene by 3 minutes in advance.

Three minutes later, in the face of the two players who had no intention of fighting again, the referee Martin from Singapore blew the whistle for the end of the game with two short and one long tones.

The moment the whistle blew, everyone on the Chinese coaching bench rushed into the field immediately, who couldn't wait.

Everyone raised their arms high and hugged each other warmly.

Cheers, screams, and applause abound.

"We can go to Shanghai!" Huang Jianxiang was also very excited.

"We beat the RB team again!"

"We reached the final of this Asian Cup!"

Asian Cup final!
"16 years!"

"16 years!"

"We reached the Asian Cup final again!"

Li Hui and Li Huajun hugged each other and fell to the ground, crying.

In 1984, they also entered the Asian Cup final with the team.

But in the final final, the Chinese team lost to Saudi Arabia 0-2 and returned home with hatred.

The venue for the final at that time was still the National Stadium of Singapore.

So when the Chinese team entered the Asian Cup final again, the players and coaches who had personally experienced that final all burst into tears at the same time.

"Da Qi, I have to say that you made the right choice to hand over the coaching position to Xiao Zeng!" In the stands, the head coach Zeng Xuelin sighed at his assistant coach.

Qi Feisheng smiled wryly, "If I knew that this kid has this ability, I wouldn't take a single World Preliminary Tournament!"
