World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 331 The Up-and-coming National Youth Player

Bangkok is one hour ahead of Beijing time.

After the game over there, the nightlife here in China has just begun.

After seeing the final score, the fans standing in front of the TV got up to celebrate wantonly and shouted loudly.

"Hmph! I guess the Chinese team won again?"

Residential buildings were separated, and a single aunt pulled out the cloth strips from her ears.

Get up, put away the soles of the shoes
At the post-match press conference, the head coach of the Thai team expressed regret: "In order to effectively resist the Chinese team, we also used [-] to counterattack."

"But the Chinese team is really too strong."

"For the Chinese team that has already won the Asian Cup and the Confederations Cup, the Thai team, which entered the top ten for the first time, is obviously not enough to watch."

"This top ten match is aimed at training for the Thai team."

"I hope that in the next top ten competition, the Thai team can put forward even better results."

"Finally, I would like to thank the home fans for their support."

Before the game, the Thai team planned to score a point at home.

Being able to draw the powerful Chinese team at home is an incentive in itself.

But the result is always unsatisfactory.

While losing three points at home, he also completely lost the possibility of qualifying for the group.

At present, the Thai team has five games and one tie, with only one point.

For the Thai team, the rest of the game was all about fighting for face.

The next day, the headlines of "The Chinese team is getting closer and closer to the World Cup" came overwhelmingly.

Since the home victory over Iran, the team's path to the World Cup has become increasingly clear.

There are even fans who are embarrassed.

With the current strength of the Chinese team, both teams sent by Zeng Zheng can qualify for the World Cup.

Those main players who play in the league in Europe, just wait for the World Cup next year!
This point of view was directly refuted by Zeng Zheng.

"Barry is only half of [-]."

"The more important the juncture, the more we cannot take it lightly."

"Especially the remaining two home matches will directly determine whether we can go directly to the World Cup in Japan and South Korea as No.1."

"So in the last two games, the Chinese team will try their best to seal the victory as soon as possible!"

"If the Iranian team draws with Qatar in a few days, then maybe we can qualify three rounds ahead of schedule."

Fans didn't expect too much from Zeng Zheng's joke.

The Iranian team has lost to the Chinese team away.

Blazevic will never allow the Iranian team to lose to other opponents in the same group.

However, once "Zeng Style Conservative" was released, it won praise from many fans.

There is no way, the Chinese team has lost too much at critical moments before.

It is often that everyone thinks that the ball is stable, but the chain is lost in the last few minutes.

Now that Zeng Zheng is so cautious, the fans are relieved.

"Liaoshen Evening News" stated that once the Chinese team was lucky enough to pass through the "away game minefield", "joining the WTO" has entered the fast lane!

Without considering other teams, as long as they win the next two consecutive home games, the Chinese team can almost lock a ticket to the World Cup.

On September 9, as the plane slowly landed in Shenyang, the enthusiasm of the fans made Shencheng heat up again.

No matter whether the weather in Shenyang is cold or hot, Zeng Zheng always appears wearing his pair of brown sunglasses.

From inside to outside, Zeng Zheng's attire has not changed much from four years ago.

His gait and posture are like those of a young man in his eighteenth or nineteenth year, and there is also a touch of confidence in the movement of holding his head up and chest out.

Under the dim lights outside the airport, the fans couldn't see Zeng Zheng's thick face clearly.

Under the sunglasses, what kind of expression will it be?

Seeing the return of the expedition team members, the crowd began to surge at this moment.

The fans also turned from talking to cheering.

Someone called Zeng Zheng's name loudly, but Zeng Zheng actually heard it, walked towards him and waved his hand.

Just this moment, the fans instantly cheered like a tsunami.

After letting the crazy fans take enough photos, Zeng Zheng got into the bus.

Unlike other people yelling "Shen Si" and "Du Wei" names, many girl fans just stared at Zeng Zheng's actions.

Zeng Zheng is 31 years old and still unmarried.

Properly rich son-in-law.

Quite a number of reporters came forward to ask Zeng Zheng when he would get married besides asking about the team and results.

Regarding this question, Zeng Zheng proudly showed the reporter his wedding ring.

And said, "The day the Chinese team qualified was when Zeng Zheng got married."

For this reason, there was another upsurge of shouting under the bus.

After defeating the Thai team, Shenyang's "scalpers" immediately threw out a shocking opinion: "The match between China and Bahrain will become a new growth point for Shenyang's economy!"

In order to experience the taste of this growth point, the reporters specially came to Wulihe Stadium.

Sure enough, there are countless scalpers and crowds of ticket scalpers, making people mistakenly think that the Chinese team has come to the stadium for training.

Near noon, the crowds buying and selling tickets outside the Wulihe Stadium were so large that they could almost be compared with the Spring Festival travel season.

As the National Day approaches, the scale of ticket scalping here will become even more out of control.

The strength of the Chinese team in this top ten match surprised the "scalpers" at the Wulihe Stadium, but also added a lot of trouble.

The most unlucky and annoying ones are those scalpers who have no vision.

They sold their tickets prematurely.

It turned out that the people who bought the tickets were all from their own peers!
In contrast, those scalpers with "National Day Battle" tickets printed in their hands are like getting on a helicopter, and the price is one day.

After asking, the scalper said that the ticket for the stand behind the goal is asking for 400 yuan.

If the reporter doesn't buy it again, it may rise to 500 in the afternoon.

The reporter said in a slightly mocking tone: "You might as well sell it in two days, then it might be able to rise to 1000 yuan."

"You think I'm stupid," the eldest brother obviously didn't take the reporter's words to heart, "I'm just testing the market conditions, which is also called throwing stones to ask for directions."

"I still have a lot of tickets at home, just look at them, 1000 yuan, 1500 yuan will be a hot commodity at that time!"

"Think about it, it's only once in four years. How many fans have spent so much money in the past and didn't see anything."

"But now that Coach Zeng is leading the team, winning and qualifying are basically a matter of certainty. With my ticket, just wait to go home and have fun!"

And according to internal sources, in addition to the tickets for September 9, many scalpers also got home tickets for October 28.

The minimum price of this home ticket against Qatar starts at 3000!

Because according to the current points form of the Chinese team, the fans of that game are very likely to see the fans qualifying ahead of schedule.

Coupled with the tickets during the National Day Golden Week, of course the price doubles!

March 9, 28:19 p.m.

With the whistle of the referee, the Chinese team first launched an attack.

Ou Chuliang returned to the main goalkeeper, and General Fan and Sun Jihai were recalled by Zeng Zheng.

On the defense line, except for Du Wei who played heroically in the last game, the others are the main players.

In addition, Zeng Zheng once again ranked the Bundesliga double tyrant "Chenhui combination" that fans are most willing to see on the front line.

After kick-off, the Chinese team played quite confidently.

The players' personal skills are exquisite, and the team is skilled in cooperation. Amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, they quickly suppressed their opponents.

In the first 10 minutes, three consecutive strong shots in the penalty area almost knocked on the opponent's door.

Although the Bahrain team is stronger than the Thai team, it is not that strong.

They didn't pose too much threat to the Chinese team at home. When they came to the away game, they were naturally like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

In the 12th minute, Wu Chengying took a right corner kick.

The goalkeeper of the Bahrain team rode on top of Yang Chen's head without hesitation, and hit the ball with a single punch.

However, Ma Mingyu quickly kicked the ball back to the penalty area. Xie Hui, who was on the line of the small penalty area, turned around and pushed the ball, and the ball easily rolled into the empty goal.

This is the fourth shot of the Chinese team in the opening game, and they scored a point.

After falling behind by one goal, the Bahrain team's defense core and captain Fadriman got injured while fighting with Yang Chen.

The Bahrain team was even worse.

In the 20th minute, the Chinese team took advantage of the opponent's corner kick and pressed heavily.

Shensi went to the meeting single-handedly after receiving a direct pass from General Fan Dazhong, but it was a pity that the opponent's goalkeeper ran out of the penalty area early and destroyed the ball first.

In the 25th minute, Ma Mingyu shifted his big foot in the midfield to the space on the right. After Xie Hui picked the opponent's defender, he quickly passed a half-high ball over the top.

Yang Chen, who was unmarked, stopped the ball on his chest 10 meters in front of the goal, kicked his foot and shot, but unfortunately, the opponent's defender caught the opportunity first and blocked it with his body.

"Today Du Wei doesn't have much room for performance!"

Chi Shangbin with his hands behind his back, the old god is here.

Seeing the team's offensive, he was relieved a lot.

Du Wei played well in the last game, and she started again in this game.

If Du Wei can still have such a stable and crucial performance in the last game, Bao Buqi can absorb him into the main lineup.

This is also in line with Zeng Zheng's tactical arrangement for selecting two people from the national youth team.

Who doesn't like a big and tall guy like Du Wei?

"Coach Chi, don't worry, we still have substitutes on the bench!"

A "substitute" is not a "substitute".

National youth players Sun Xiang and Xu Liang are also sitting on the bench right now.

If the Bahrain team really has no threat to the Chinese team, and the Chinese team can seal the victory early.

Zeng Zheng doesn't mind letting two more national youth players play, so as to adapt to the rhythm of the competition in advance.

Not long after leading by one goal, the Chinese team expanded their advantage again.

In the 42nd minute, Sun Jihai took advantage of the opportunity of a sideline ball to insert at high speed from the right, followed by a bottom pass.

Under the cover of Yang Chen and Xie Hui, General Fan in the middle jumped up high, hitting the ball like a net with his head.

This is a textbook bottom cross.

The Chinese players on the field have already used it with ease.

And the opponents are far behind in the face of the high-altitude bombing of the Chinese team.

After the start of the second half, Zeng Zheng followed the "promise" and replaced the national youth player Xu Liang to adapt to the game.

Seeing Xu Liang coming on as a substitute, Xu Liang's relatives and friends in the stands couldn't help shouting.

"Hey, Ryoko Ryoko, look here, here!"

"Liangzi, come on, don't disappoint Coach Zeng's expectations!"

"Ryoko, get one, find a chance to get one!!!"

A fan next to him was curious and couldn't help asking: "Brother, who is Xu Liang?"

"Here, it's the one who just came on!"

"Which one? I didn't look at it when it was changed, so I don't know which one it is now!"

"Um, it's the one with the black hair. Yes, it's the one with the crew cut."

Although the number was not directly disclosed, the fan saw this young player comparable to Zhang Enhua and Wu Chengying at a glance according to the reminder.

As soon as Xu Liang came on the field, she used a pass to assist Yang Chen and almost scored.

The fans in the stands and Jin Chi on the sidelines were all very excited to see Xu Liang almost assist and score as soon as she came out.

"Oh, I found a treasure, I found a treasure!"

"This national youth player is not stage fright at all!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if only all of us young people were like this."

Xu Liang's appearance on the field was considered a conclusion for this match.

That is - the Bahrain team is insufficient, and the Chinese team has secured the victory in advance.

At least the reporters in the press box thought so.

Seeing the end of the game, the coaching staff also began to draft some post-match summaries.

The Iranian team just defeated Qatar at home, biting the Chinese team in terms of points.

This is not a good sign.

But it can motivate the team to deal with every game seriously and strive for the victory of every game.

Of course, Zeng Zheng didn't want to delay the possibility of qualifying to the last game against Iran.

But if the Iranian team is competitive enough, the suspense of the first place in the group is really placed in this last game.

Then Zeng Zheng also tried his best to help the team gain a greater advantage before that.

For example, the main players without injuries, and more goal difference and points.

Just as Zeng Zheng started drafting the press conference, the court suddenly burst into cheers again.

Thousands of red balloons flew up in the stands, and countless fans in red jerseys stood up again, waving their arms like the previous two times.

"Goal! Goal, my God, this kid actually scored!" Chi Shangbin grabbed Jin Zhiyang's wrist and pulled him to the sidelines.

"Yeah, it's really uplifting us, I didn't expect to get in!" Jin Zhiyang clapped his hands again and again.

Looking at Xu Liang who was surrounded by the team members in the center, the coaches all had expressions of relief on their faces.

"This is Xu Liang's first goal in the adult national team!"

Huang Jianxiang called out the greatest achievement of this ball.

A national youth player opened his senior national team's scoring account for the first time in the world preliminaries after being exceptionally promoted to join the team.

This kind of experience is enough to inspire Xu Liang for a lifetime, allowing him to keep moving forward and growing.

Surrounded in the center, Xu Liang forcibly got out from the crowd, then rushed to the sidelines, making various faces to the camera.

At the same time, the big screen in Wulihe also began to replay the free kick that just bypassed the wall and flew into the dead corner of the goal.

Seeing this free kick that was comparable to a Bayesian arc, Xu Liang's family and friends shouted again.

"Chuckham Tsui, Keham Tsui, Harkham Tsui!"

Xu Liang is also a bachelor. She lifted her jersey directly at the camera, revealing two rows of Chinese characters: "Every ten thousand times of practice, there will be a goal."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

The fans were talking.

But Zeng Zheng knew.

Xu Liang, this guy, practiced hard to the extreme in free kicks.

After normal training every day, he has to train himself at least 300 free kicks.

It was by relying on these hard training that he was able to score a corner kick in the Asian Youth Championship, and he was able to use a free kick to open his scoring account in the top ten competition.

You know, there is no shortage of free kick masters in today's Chinese team.

Zhang Xiaorui, Shensi, Ma Mingyu, Li Jinyu, Shao Jiayi, Sun Jihai...all of these people have a free kick.

In contrast, Xu Liang's free kick was even more precious.

However, the fans in the stands misinterpreted what Xu Liang meant.

"Only one shot out of [-]?"

"Is it time for this kid to buy a pair of glasses?"

　I'm hospitalized today and have surgery next Wednesday.
