World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 128 Asian Games Deal
Theoretically speaking, bamboo shoes are just a social industry association, not a ZF functional department.

But in reality, the power of bamboo shoes is not comparable to that of general associations.

It stands to reason that social groups should be decoupled from ZF.

But after Qatar lost in the top ten match, the rhetoric of "we are all GJ cadres" made fans understand that Zhuxie has never been a social group.

Now the internal officials of Zhuxie are not elected by the industry itself, and Zhuxie is exercising ZF functions, and the government and enterprises have not been separated
In the end, the disadvantages of "official downfall" and "official business" are inevitable.

In name, both Lu Jun and Yu Yuancong belonged to Zhuxie.

Something happened to the two of them, it was impossible for Zhuxi not to deal with it, and it was impossible not to hug Dier.

If the handling is too light, it is impossible to explain to the club, fans and all walks of life, and if the handling is harsh, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the subordinates.

Referees are a very important part of football.

Whether it is as small as a friendly match or as large as a cup match, it will be determined by the referee's personal qualities such as fairness and ability.

But in this nationwide crackdown on counterfeiting, referees have become the most statusless and least influential existence.

The Zhuxie booth is too big, how can you take care of a "little" referee?

So far, all walks of life have hardly seen any referee's voice.

Even the "Golden Whistle" Army completely died down after winning the lawsuit.

The reason for this happening is firstly because the refereeing circles are insignificant, and no one listens to what they say; secondly, because the wind direction has never been on the referee's side, and no media is willing to speak for them.

Now the refereeing circles are in panic, as long as there is a small accident in the field, they will be called "black whistle".

Newcomers in the industry were looked down upon by outsiders, and veterans in the industry wanted to flee.

Under this kind of atmosphere, those who still choose to enter this industry will know what they are after thinking about it.

What Xu Fang meant was to let the referees be "liberated" first among the more than [-] administrative departments under the jurisdiction of Zhuxie.

Whether it is to form a social organization similar to bamboo shoes, or to set up an economic company dedicated to serving referees, let it come out first!
During this period, I encountered many obstacles, troubles, disadvantages and waste, let alone, just optimistic about the direction.

After the referee is "independent", he can use the special status of the referee to form a relatively independent relationship with bamboo shoes and the league.

In this way, if the referee has a problem again, Zhuxie's "neutral" status will at least not reappear the current situation where the "palm of the palm and the back of the hand" are all meat.

And the companies or institutions behind the referees will naturally back up other innocent referees who have suffered, preventing them from being indiscriminately attacked by public opinion.

After realizing that Xu Fang used a "knife" to "cut flesh" on himself, Zeng Zheng's respect for Xu Fang added another layer.

The next day, seeing the list submitted by Zeng Zheng, Wang Junsheng was a little hesitant.

"Xiao Zeng, do you know the new Olympic regulations?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

"Now the Olympic overage players can be added to 5 people, your list."

Among the list of 22 people given by Zeng Zheng, only Ou Chuliang and Wu Chengying are "overage".

The rest are all players of the right age, not to mention, there are 3 "young" players.

"Xiao Zeng, if you're embarrassed, I'll send a message to ask those people from overseas clubs to come back. They won't be able to play football there anyway!"

At present, there are 3 international football players playing overseas, General Fan, Sun Jihai and Yang Chen.

"Uncle Wang, what did you say!"

Zeng Zheng retorted so much that he didn't save Wang Junsheng any face: "Do you think calling them back to play for the national team will increase their status in the club's heart?"

"You are old thinking, you have to change it!"

"It's already difficult for them to play, and if you call them back, it will affect the tacit understanding and state between them and their teammates, and it will be even more distant for them to play!"

"And isn't it just the Asian Games? Is it so important?"

Wang Junsheng's expression became serious after hearing this, "Xiao Zeng, this is the Asian Games! Don't underestimate international competitions!"

In this era, events such as the Asian Games and the East Asian Games, which Zeng Zheng regards as extremely "tasteless", are the tireless goals of the Sports Committee.

Not only is it easy to win the gold medal, but it is also the best opportunity to show strength and expand influence to the Asian region.

In addition, during this period of time, the Sports Commission is taking the hosting of the 08 Olympic Games as a strategic goal.

Therefore, for events such as the Asian Games, each department has corresponding "indicators".

"Uncle Wang, you played football at least once."

"When did this football score be linked to age?"

"How about this, you will be promoted to a higher level for any indicators above, and I will issue a military order for you!"

"If you're really afraid that you won't be able to complete the task, you can simply change the age of those international players participating in the World Cup. What do you think?"

"puff!!!"

When Zeng Zheng responded, Wang Junsheng almost choked to death on the tea.

"Get out! Get out! Don't let me see you again!"

While speaking, he grabbed the newspapers in his hand and threw them into balls, throwing Zeng Zheng out of the office.

"Cut, why are you angry? Isn't it just a joke!"

Zeng Zheng closed the door from the outside, and held up the balls of newspapers in his hands.

"Long-range three-pointer!"

Swish!
Zeng Zheng threw the newspaper ball directly into the trash can at the end of the corridor.

Wang Junsheng had already expressed his attitude by throwing newspapers instead of lists.

"Coach Zeng, are you playing?"

As soon as the newspapers were loaded into the basket, a figure flashed at the corner of the corridor.

"Ah, Secretary Zhao." Zeng Zheng laughed, "Am I right?"

"Certainly, Coach Zeng can go to the men's basketball team to play shooting guard these two times!"

After Secretary Zhao made a joke, he asked softly, "Where is Wang Zhuxi in the room?"

"Well, the room is angry!" Zeng Zheng "kindly" reminded.

When Xiao Zhao heard this, he quickly stood at attention, adjusted his makeup, and then knocked softly on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!" Wang Junsheng's impatient voice came from inside.

A few days later, while announcing the list of candidates for the Asian Games at the Asian Games press briefing, Wang Junsheng said that the goal of the Chinese team in this Asian Games is to strive for the top four.

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused strong reactions in the circle. Some thought it was an objective determination of the actual level of football, while others thought it was a lack of confidence in their own football.

To this end, the reporter interviewed three football seniors in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.
Zhang Jingtian: "Although it is preparing for the Olympics and the World Cup, there are big problems with the age composition of this team."

"Although in the Toulon Cup and the Asian Youth Championship, these young people have performed well."

"But it is an international A-level event after all."

"There are no mature and stable old international players in the team. It is difficult for us to gain a psychological advantage in front of the adult teams of other countries."

"In this case, the performance of the players will be greatly reduced."

Yan Dejun: "Zeng Zheng is a unique football coach, completely different from Qi Yusheng, Horton and others, and also beyond our general understanding of coaches."

"Different from local coaches, Zeng Zheng learned most of his skills in Brazil."

"His ideas and tactical concepts are more in line with the current young people."

"Perhaps only young players can display his tactical expertise."

"As for the results, the China-South Korea match in a few days is the key."

"If Zeng Zheng can lead such a team to defeat South Korea, then the Asian Games will not be a problem for him."

Wang Houjun: "Whether it is 'strive for the top four' or 'win the gold medal', I don't think it matters."

"The important thing is that we have a sense of normalcy."

"The gold medal in the Asian Games has never been our ultimate goal. How to use this Asian Games to train soldiers is the most important thing."

On April 11th, Modu.

"Coach Zeng, what is your goal for this Asian Games?"

"Coach Zeng, although this Asian Games is for Olympic training, but only two overage players, Ou Chuliang and Wu Chengying, are recruited. Don't you think this is a bit exaggerated?"

"Coach Zeng, why didn't you recruit overseas international players to join the team?"

"Coach Zeng, we haven't won against South Korea for more than ten years. What do you think of this?"

"Coach Zeng, most of the players recruited into the team this time are former members of Jianlibao. May I ask if this is considered cronyism?"

"Coach Zeng"

Facing aggressive questions from reporters, Zeng Zheng, who has always been high-profile, became cautious.

"Whether it's 'in the top four' or 'in the top four' doesn't mean anything to me."

"My task is to lead this team to play well one game at a time, strive to be able to play to the end, and strive to win the championship."

"That's what I'm supposed to do as a coach."

On November 11, Shanghai Hongqiao Stadium, the second round of the third China-Korea match.

Although Zeng Zheng didn't take the word "Koreaphobia" to heart, the advantage of this team formed by young people only lasted for the first 15 minutes.

In the 5th minute, Li Jinyu went to the meeting alone, but sent the ball directly to the arms of South Korean goalkeeper Kim Byung-ji.

Since then, Zhang Xiaorui's long shot from outside the penalty area also hit the ball high.

After adapting to the style of play of this national football team, South Korea came from behind and created many opportunities.

But like the national football issue, Li Dongguo, who is only 19 years old, is still a little tender after all.

He wasted two unguarded opportunities.One shot missed, one missed kick.

Both sides seem to want to use this game to prove themselves.

Haste makes waste, and there was no record in the halftime of the fierce battle.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

Zeng Zheng replaced Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu with Sun Zhihe and discussed how to strengthen the attack.

Speeding up in the second half is Zeng Zheng's usual routine.

Xu Dingmao on the opposite side knew this point well and made preparations in advance.

After the transfer of the two sides, the scene was still extremely dull, and there was no significant improvement.

The [-] fans at the scene were shouting smoke, but the goal never appeared.

On the bench, looking at Zeng Zheng who returned to his seat from the sidelines, Ou Chuhao asked curiously: "Coach Zeng, are you not going to continue to direct?"

"What are you going to do? I'm already very satisfied with how these boys played like this. I just formed the team for more than a week and wanted to win against South Korea. Those were the dogs that the media put indiscriminately before the game. I never said that I would win. .”

"That's right." Ou Chuliang nodded, "After all, it's a match for the national team. Even the opponents are all young players, but once they reach this level, the mentality of the players will inevitably change. We have never had an advantage in this regard."

After chatting for a while, Ou Chuliang still asked the question in his heart.

"Coach Zeng, I still don't understand, why did you call me into the team? Isn't this a waste of places?!"

"How could it be a waste of quota for Ouge to join the team?" Zeng Zheng blinked, "Ouge is an old international footballer, and he participated in the 94 Asian Games. It would be a perfect fit for you to be Ding Haishenzhen!"

"Ha, let me just say it!" Ou Chuliang smiled and slapped Zeng Zheng on the shoulder, "You said you didn't take me as the top spot?"

Ou Chuliang immediately heard the implication of Zeng Zheng's words.

Zhuxie stipulates that there must be an overage international player, but there is no specified position.

Zeng Zheng took advantage of this loophole in order to squeeze out an extra spot for young outfield players.

Zeng Zheng was not embarrassed by Ou Chuliang's blunt explanation.

He stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Yunfei, who was wearing work clothes behind the chair, to the front of him.

"Brother Ou, this kid is quite capable, how many tricks have you taught me these few days?"

In front of Ou Chuliang, Liu Yunfei, who was usually sloppy, instantly turned into a good baby, not even daring to lift his head.

"Okay, Coach Zeng, your abacus is really good!" Seeing that Liu Yunfei couldn't even put on the substitute team uniform, Ou Chuliang was speechless.

Co-author, you asked me not only to replace the spot, but also to train your private team members?

"Coach Zeng, is there any benefit for me?" Ou Chuliang smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Of course not in vain!" Zeng Zheng blinked. "This Asian Games, I'll replace your silver one with a gold one, what do you think?"
