World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 277 Don't be in a hurry about naturalization

With the analysis of his virtuous wife, Zeng Zheng's views on this matter became clearer.

After returning to China, I communicated with Deco immediately.

"To be honest, Mr. Zeng, I am very optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team. With you here, the Chinese team may play in the World Cup in 02. It is not a problem to qualify for the group stage, so..."

Looking at the young man with a full chin beard in front of him, Zeng Zheng couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

When he was brought to the Jianglong team two years ago, he was still a young boy.

And now, he has become Harbin City's most popular star.

Even Weah, the former World Footballer, is not as popular as him.

Playing the ball well is one of the reasons.

The most important thing is the identity and appearance of Deco Brazilian, and his only 23 years old.

This age is about the same age as a college student who just graduated.

But it is the existence of killing everything from a 14-year-old junior high school student to a 41-year-old rich woman!
Deco is not only the star of the Jianglong team, but also the public relations manager of the Jianglong team.

Not only the official website of the Jianglong team, but even the newspapers and media in Harbin City like to print a few photos of Deke, and then gossip about his private life.

So far, Deco has never heard of any local girls.

But the number of times he went to nightclubs, even he himself can't remember clearly.

As his fame grew, even Gao Hongbo couldn't hold him down now.

But in front of Zeng Zheng, Deco has a natural fear.

Not only because Zeng Zheng is Deco's former coach and current boss.

Also because Deco knows it all too well.

Zeng Zheng is a very capable person in the football field.

As long as Zeng Zheng is willing, he can go to Europe and South America at any time, and then dig a few young people like Deco back, train them for a year or two, and then create a star like him.

This is also the root reason why Deco still respects Zeng Zheng.

"Deco, as your former coach, as long as you do what I say, I have the confidence to train you into a world-class star."

"By then you can represent Brazil in the World Cup."

Hearing this, Deco shook his head.

"Boss Zeng, I have the confidence to join the Brazilian team, but...you know. With them here, I am at best a substitute."

Ronaldinho and Brick are still at their peak, Romario has not yet retired, and Ronaldinho has already emerged.

In 06, Adelaide and Robinho were born, together with the chosen son Kaka.

If Deco really wants to be on his own, his competitive pressure is not so great.

But therein lies the problem.

Does Deco want to be the short-lived Ronaldinho or the Ivy Klose.

Judging from Deco's current performance, their Brazilian star is obviously not suitable for the latter.

Zeng Zheng is just the coach and boss of the players, not their father or mother.

He can cultivate the football skills of the players, and he can also set some temporary death rules for the players before the big game.

But in terms of private life, Zeng Zheng has no reason and no need to be strict with every team member.

What kind of player he wants to be is the player's own decision, not his past.

For Zeng Zheng.

When it comes to transfers and nationality transfers, he only needs to play his role as a businessman well.

Deke's few words have completely clarified his mind.

He just wants to take advantage of his youth to play more heavyweight matches and gain a higher status.

"Since that's the case, don't even think about the Chinese team."

"Ah? Why? My strength"

"It's not a question of strength." Zeng Zheng shook his head.

"You have been in the Jianglong team for two years, don't you know the domestic situation here?"

"It's difficult for foreigners to become naturalized, but you're only focusing on your own interests."

"So on this matter, I can't help you!"

Deco became anxious when he heard it.

"Boss Zeng, you are the head coach of the Chinese national team! And you and your bamboo shoes are still here."

In Deco's view.

He wanted to come to the Chinese team to play under Zeng Zheng, it was all a matter of Zeng Zheng's words.

This is also the reason why he chose to come to AB with Zeng Zheng.

"Deco, things here are very complicated, not as simple as you think."

Zeng Zheng sighed and patted the other person on the shoulder.

"But as your boss, I respect your desire to play in the World Cup as soon as possible."

"The Chinese team can't, we can choose other national teams!"

"Europe has less strict restrictions on naturalization, and there are still many countries that recognize dual citizenship."

"If you want to go there for naturalization, I can arrange it for you."

Hearing this, Deco's eyes lit up again, and he regained his energy.

"Boss Zeng, where do you think it would be better for me to go?"

"This depends on your own thoughts."

Zeng Zheng shrugged, "But you have to be mentally prepared."

"With your current strength and reputation, even if you succeed in naturalization, it will be difficult to catch up with the 02 World Cup."

"But don't be discouraged, you can definitely aim for the 06 World Cup."

"At that time, you will be able to show your talents on the stage of the World Cup!"

Zeng Zheng's words can be regarded as opening a knot in Deke's heart.

On December 12, Shanghai Hongkou Stadium.

Facing Dalian Shide, the Jianglong team played their best.

In this game, Deco completed a hat-trick of assists.

The top scorer of the Asian Youth Championship, Qu Bo, scored twice, and the local youth training, only 18-year-old Liu Zihao scored directly from a free kick, plus Li Yi's key penalty.

Within 120 minutes, the two sides drew 4-4!
Facing a brutal penalty shootout.

Ou Chuliang, who played poorly in actual combat, once again played bravely in the penalty shootout.

He saved the penalties of Orlando, Yan Song and Wang Peng one after another, helping the Jianglong team beat their opponents 3-2 in the penalty shootout and won the Millennium Super Cup.

After the Super Cup, Zeng Zheng and his girlfriend came to the future father-in-law's house to celebrate New Year's Day.

During this week, Zeng Zheng successfully completed the transformation from champion boss to "grandson".

As the girlfriend of the youngest daughter of the Qian family.

When you arrive at the old man's house, you not only have to face the majesty of the old man, but you also have to please the two uncles.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law looks more and more satisfied with her son-in-law.

Under Mrs. Qian's face, Zeng Zheng finally "passed the test".

Get engaged after the Spring Festival, and then get married at the end of the year.

With this relationship, some of the Qian family's resources began to lean toward Zeng Zheng and Ms. Qian's business.

In addition to buying land and building football stadiums within the mainland, Zeng Zheng's football stadium industry even exists in Hainan and Wanwan.

As soon as Wanwan's business started, the spring training base for Xiaotian Zhuxie was immediately selected.

The two parties signed the same contract for ten years.

From 02 to the early spring of 12, every year all the J-League teams will go to the Wanwan football training base for three weeks of spring training.

Although the unit is yen, this "small goal" still made Zeng Zheng very happy.

After leaving the old man's house, Zeng Zheng immediately rushed to Zhuxie to report on his work.

"Come on, come on, cheers! Xiaozheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xu let go of a bottle of Maotai that will be treasured for many years, and poured Zeng Zheng a glass.

Zeng Zheng quickly picked it up with both hands, "Uncle Xu, I'll just drink it, you'd better save it."

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zheng raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass.

Just as Xu Fang wanted to have a drink with him, his wife snatched the glass from the bottle.

Meanwhile, the promise of programming in the bedroom speaks.

"Dad, if you really want to work for a few more years, don't touch alcohol!"

Xu Fang smashed his mouth and laughed twice.

"I see that Xiaozheng hasn't had enough, so I want to fill him up!"

"That's not your turn, I'll help him."

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng quickly took the wine bottle from Xu Fang's wife.

"Aunt Lun, how can I use you to pour wine? I will do it myself, I will do it myself!"

With that said, Zeng Zheng poured himself another glass.

For so many years, Lun Shufen has always regarded Zeng Zheng as a child.

"Xiaozheng, how is it this time? How is your talk with your girlfriend?"

"Aunt Lun, the marriage is almost settled. If there are no accidents, I will get married after the world preliminaries. Then you will have to come and join me!"

Lun Shufen smiled happily when she heard that, "Of course, of course, Aunt Lun will give you a big red envelope then!"

"Then I'll thank Aunt Lun first."

As he spoke, Zeng Zheng raised his wine glass respectfully and drank a toast.

After sitting down again, Xu Fang exchanged greetings again.

The two quickly got to the point.

"Why, I heard that you did not agree to the naturalization application of that Brazilian kid?"

Zeng Zheng nodded.

"Why? Didn't he play well in A-A last year? Why? Not strong enough? You don't like it?"

Xu Fang supports naturalization.

He is eager to improve the performance of Chinese football in his lifetime.

"It's not a matter of strength, Zheng Zhi's awareness is not high."

"Fuck!"

Hearing what Zeng Zheng said, Xu Fang was full of questions, and held back all of them.

Seeing Xu Fang deflated, Zeng Zheng quickly gave an explanation.

"Uncle Xu, I don't think we should be in a hurry when it comes to naturalization."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that we have not yet determined whether we can play football with our own ability."

"Oh? Tell me carefully."

Xu Fang didn't drink, and after hearing what Zeng Zheng said, he immediately realized something.

"Football is the number one sport in the world, and it is also a national sport."

"Ancient football originated here, and modern football originated in Europe."

"This fully shows that a dozen people chasing and kicking a round thing, the participants like to kick, and the onlookers like to watch."

"Since this is the case, then football cannot be the privilege of a certain race."

"It's like track and field. We all know that black people can run fast, so do all national teams have to naturalize black people?"

"That's clearly unrealistic."

"The reason why sports competition is called a war in a peaceful age is that its national attributes cannot be ignored."

"In football, South Americans are skilled and Europeans are strategic."

"But whether it is Europe or South America, the popularization of football among the people is definitely a problem that cannot be ignored."

"How long has our youth training been going on?"

"Counting Jianlibao, it's only seven or eight years old!"

"It's already very good to have the current results in seven or eight years!"

"Some countries have developed for 20 years before they can stand out."

"So on the matter of naturalization, my idea is to wait."

"When our youth training is fully popularized, leagues at all levels are mature enough to be handed over to the market, and our national teams of four age groups have already climbed to the top of their respective rankings."

"At that time, it's not a bad idea to naturalize a foreign aid and increase our strength."

"And there is another very important issue here. If you don't explain it clearly, you can't explain it to the fans."

Xu Fang raised his eyebrows when he heard it: "What's the problem?"

"If a fan asks, 'Why are foreigners selected? Have all the talents from every province in our country been selected?' How should we answer?"

After hearing this, Xu Fang fell silent.

Last year's Olympic Games had Zheng Dongqi, and this year's Asian Youth Championship had Eric Wood.

So next year's World Cup, will Zeng Zheng bring another Tie Chatenger or Tashi Lausanne?
The talents in all provinces in our country have not been tapped out yet, so you can't wait to naturalize foreigners.

It doesn't make sense!

What's more, we have the strength to enter the World Cup.

Nor is it to rely on these few foreign players to play in the world preliminaries to catch the results as soon as possible.

So naturalization is completely unnecessary for the current Chinese team.

Of course, if there are foreigners who really want to play for the Chinese team, they can completely settle down and get married to become naturalized and compete fairly with other players.

Zeng Zheng would not look at them with colored glasses.

If this cannot be satisfied, it will be difficult to accept a naturalized player to play in the competition based on our national culture and current national conditions.

After a while, Xu Fang nodded.

He understood what Zeng Zheng meant.

Although Zeng Zheng also supports naturalization, there is really no need for this matter at present.

However, Xu Fang asked a new question.

"Xiaozheng, you know Shide's preschool teacher program? They are all here for naturalization."

After hearing this, Zeng Zheng smiled even more disdainfully.

"That's their freedom, and we didn't order them to do it?"

"Could it be that we give them the green light because they want to train naturalized players?"

"To put it bluntly, even if Zhu Xie is not naturalized, if he does not open the door for naturalization, how dare he say anything in Shide?"

"Who does business with high investment and doesn't lose money?"

Xu Fang nodded, "But I heard that they have good grades, and now they are playing against Shide's second team casually. Does this mean that foreigners are born to do sports?"

Zeng Zheng still shook his head.

"Uncle Xu, you only know one thing and don't know the other!"

"I remember that when I first came here, several of them were found to be carrying a virus unique to Africa, and they were sent back overnight. Is this true?"

Xu Fang nodded.

"In one, although they performed well in the youth team, what about the senior team?"

"Uncle Xu, go to Dalian and have a look."

"In the past month or so, how many lawsuits have arisen about this group of old black whoring, fighting, drinking, staying out at night, etc.?"

"It's just that someone above is holding down the grades, so this matter hasn't become a big deal!"

"Look at it!"

"In a year or two, when these gangsters become adults and play against the senior team, will they still be able to produce results? At that time, it will cause much trouble to the security of Dalian. I dare say that in the end, Shide wants to get rid of this The burden is difficult!"

"Uncle Xu, have you forgotten? What is the most important thing for our national team?"

"It's discipline!"

"A player who doesn't even abide by basic discipline, no matter how good he plays, will you use him?"

"Boom!"

Xu Fang slammed his rice bowl on the table.

After Zeng Zheng talked for a long time, this sentence came to his heart.

Being strong is one thing.

Whether you listen or not is another matter.

Didn't he know that the people who proposed naturalization recently came here for profit and fame?
But when he thinks of improving the ranking of the Chinese national team in the world, he feels that these trivial matters are trivial.

But he forgot, there is another sentence.

That is a rat droppings spoiled a pot of porridge.

He also understands the principle of the black sheep.

If the team becomes disunified because of a naturalized foreign aid, it will be even more difficult to manage.

Then even Ronaldo would not consider this naturalized foreign aid!

After all.

The ultimate goal of naturalization is not to improve the team's level and strength in the short term.

It is a means of strengthening and strengthening when the national team, league, and youth training have become saturated and stable.

After thinking it over, Xu Fang also laughed.

"Okay, when you talk, you are better than those guys in bamboo shoes!"

"There have been so many meetings, and none of them can get to the point."

"To put it bluntly, I just want to take advantage of the naturalization to take a share of the opportunity."

"With what you said today, I have a solid foundation in my heart."

"Xiaozheng, lead the team well."

"Whether we can go to the World Cup next year depends on you!"
