World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 131 United to Boycott the World Cup?
The news and photos were quickly sent back to China.

Looking at the row of "monks" in the center of the newspaper, the fans couldn't stop laughing.

"Ha! It has to be Coach Zeng, he really does what he says!"

"Coach Zeng did the right thing, we should control these guys collectively!"

"For so many years, Coach Zeng has led the team and I am convinced! We should have more courageous coaches like Coach Zeng!"

"I'm afraid that coach Zeng is the only one in the country who doesn't take winning as capital? With such a coach, why worry about the national team not winning?"

"But don't tell me, Coach Zeng is quite energetic after shaving his head."

"Tsk tsk, are you a nympho? What kind of spirit? Why do I look more and more like a young and Dangerous boy? Look at these sunglasses, they look scary!"

"What young and Dangerous boy? This is clearly a prisoner!"

"Huh~~ It's a good thing Ouge didn't shave his head. If Ouge gets shaved too. Woohoo, even if it's Coach Zeng, I'll go all out with him!"

Domestic fans are just watching a joke.

But in the international arena, Zeng Zheng shaves all the heads of the national team, but other countries have taken it seriously.

Because it is the Asian Games, the biggest reaction is a few neighbors.

"Asahi Shimbun": It is Zeng's strict self-discipline that has made him so many champions.With such an iron-blooded coach, the Chinese team will definitely be the biggest enemy of the rise of Xiaotian football!

"Seoul Daily": The Chinese coach's behavior of shaving the whole team's head shows that he has absolute control over the team;

The players did not express any dissatisfaction with the coach's behavior, which also proved the players' true trust in the coach!

Perhaps the South Korean Football Association should also think deeply about how to build a team like the Chinese team.

"Siam Sports Daily": After seeing the performance of the Chinese team and comparing the match-fixing incident of the Thai team in the beer cup in August, it is not difficult to understand why the Thai team did not qualify for the group stage in the Asian Youth Championship.

Zeng Zheng used a "baldhead operation" to completely silence the media who wanted to watch the excitement and gossip.

We have problems, we rectify them ourselves, there is no need for you to make sarcastic remarks to attract others' attention.

When Wang Junsheng reported to his superiors again, the reply he received changed from a reprimand to a commendation.

After the two group matches, the Chinese team qualified from the first round.

It's also interesting to think about.

In an Asian Games with only 27 teams participating, the football competition system is very cumbersome.

There will be two rounds of group stage in this Asian Games.

In the first round of the group match, 27 teams were divided into 8 groups for a single round-robin confrontation, and the top two in the group advanced.

In this way, some groups have three teams and some groups have four teams.

Although the groups are divided, it does not mean that all the national teams will finally be able to participate.

In addition, these national teams did not retire at the same time, so the officials moved the teams around without moving out of balance.

Like Group E, because Bangladesh and Myanmar all withdrew, the United Arab Emirates and North Korea played only one game, and both advanced.

But because the score of the two teams was 1-1.

In order to be grouped in the second round of the group stage, the two teams had to continue to play penalty shootouts.

In the end, the United Arab Emirates defeated North Korea 4-1 in the penalty shootout and won the top spot in Group E.

On December 12, the opponent was Tajikistan at the Supacharasai National Stadium in Bangkok.

Not to mention strength.

The bald heads of the Chinese team are enough to become a "beautiful" landscape in the Asian Games.

Facing the weakest opponent in the group, the dominant national team played relatively easily.

Even Li Tie got a lot of opportunities, frequently dribbling forward and pressing.

In the 21st minute, Zhang Xiaorui took a free kick to the back point, and Zhang Yuxi followed up with the header to open the scoring for the Chinese team.

In the 43rd minute, Zhang Xiaorui organized support in front of the penalty area again, assisted Li Jinyu to score, and the Chinese team ended the first half with a two-goal lead.

Changing sides to fight again, Tajikistan tried to counterattack Jedi, the offensive wave after wave.

In the 59th minute, Tajikistan also took advantage of the free kick opportunity, and the captain scored a header to win back.

Seeing the opponent score, all the bald heads on the field trembled and looked nervously at the sidelines.

But this time, Zeng Zheng did not slump like the previous two games, but clapped his hands to encourage the players not to be careless.

The morale of the encouraged team members increased greatly.Facing Tajikistan's strong shot, Li Jian reacted quickly and blocked the must-go goal with his feet.

Seeing that this team composed of mostly young people began to feel a little weak after entering the second stage of the group stage, Zeng Zheng made continuous substitutions and adjustments.

Wu Chengying, Sui Dongliang, and Zhang Ran appeared successively.

Under Jianlibao's BUFF, the substitution effect is immediate.

In the 69th minute, Sui Dongliang received a direct pass from the midfielder and made a high-speed pass from the bottom. Li Jinyu scored the ball and rewritten the score to [-]-[-].

One minute before the end, Zhang Ran assisted Wang Peng to lock the final score at four to one.

"Boss Zeng, I"

The players trembled after leaving the field.

Recalling the punishment after conceding a goal in the last game, the players were all wondering what the "harder" punishment was.

But this time, it was Zeng Zheng's smiling face that greeted them.

"Okay, let's go back and have a good rest, you played well!"

"good?"

The team members were a little confused.

"Boss Zeng, we still lost the ball in the second half."

Seeing the team members bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes, Zeng Zheng scratched his scalp under the wig with a look of surprise.

"What do you think of me?"

"Am I so unreasonable in your hearts?"

Looking at the Little Tigers wig on Zeng Zheng's head and the bald heads on top of his teammates, the team members remained silent.

"I was angry in the first two games because your attitude in the game was not correct!"

Zeng Zheng said seriously, "Facing the weak team, you didn't show the professional attitude you should have, which led to conceding the goal in the end."

"But in today's game, you all performed very well."

"Even if Tajikistan scores a goal, it is a goal conceded within the normal range."

"You don't think I'm so strict that I won't concede the ball, do you?"

"Am I like that?"

After hearing this, the team members breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zeng Zheng really kept the team from conceding a goal in this Asian Games, then the players really don't know how to play.

On December 12, Supracharasai National Stadium in Bangkok, against Oman.

Oman beat Iran [-]-[-] in the last game, which surprised everyone.

I thought the group's biggest rival was Iran.

But this time Oman wins, this game becomes a must to win the opponent.

For this reason, Zeng Zheng exchanged a lot of thousands of miles of sound transmission props in advance, for fear that these "new recruits" would be embarrassed in front of their opponents.

However, what Zeng Zheng and others did not expect was that Amen, who defeated Iran in an upset, was vulnerable in front of the international players.

Only 1 minute and 15 seconds into the opening, Li Jinyu took the lead.

Turned around and volleyed from the edge of the penalty area, opening the scoring for the national team.

Subsequently, Wang Liang broke into the penalty area from the wing and passed the ball to Zhang Xiaorui, who swayed away two defenders and shot into the net.

In the 29th minute, Li Jinyu received a pass from Yao Xia and scored a goal, [-]-[-].

In the 37th minute, it was Li Jinyu's personal show again, rewriting the score to 4-0.

Li Jinyu, who completed the hat-trick, made a celebratory gesture of "pointing the sword to the sky". This is also the first hat-trick completed by a Chinese player in this Asian Games.

Changing sides to fight again, this time it was Zeng Zheng who took the initiative to ask the team to retreat to preserve their strength.

In the 64th minute, Li Weifeng made an assist and scored a goal, [-]-[-].

The Oman team finally broke the egg in the 69th minute, also using a flying jump to the top to pull back a victory.

But this goal is of no avail to the result.

In the 83rd minute, Zhang Yuxie's header at the near post fixed the score at 6-1, and the Chinese team won the victory.

After the first two games of the group stage, the Chinese team won both games.

As long as the next game is not lost by a big score, you can definitely advance.

The men's football side has won consecutive battles, and the women's football side is not to be outdone.

Under Zeng Zheng's special medicine, the healthy women's football team is also unstoppable, and they have not lost a single defeat so far.

Since the last fever incident, the relationship between the women's football players and Zeng Zheng has grown by leaps and bounds.

Women's football has long been led by aging male coaches.

Facing the old pedant who changed the soup without changing the medicine, these women's football girls have nothing in common with them.

But Zeng Zheng was different.

Although he is also a coach, Zeng Zheng is not even 30 this year, even younger than some women's football players.

Under such circumstances, the women's football players were willing to take the initiative to talk to Zeng Zheng about any demands they had.

At that time, Zeng Zheng will take the lead and seek benefits from the Bamboo Association.

And these women's football girls did not seek Zeng Zheng's "help" in vain.

After hearing that Zeng Zheng is still single so far, gossip suddenly ignited, and they introduced their single sisters and sisters to Zeng Zheng.

In these days, Zeng Zheng went to the women's football team more frequently than to his own players.

That night, Zeng Zheng was telling some classic football cases to the women's football team when Han Tao's shout suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Boss Zeng, the team leader called you over for a meeting." After all, Han Tao was a young man, so he didn't dare to enter the women's room.

"Okay, let's stop here today, and I'll tell you after the game tomorrow."

"Okay, Coach Zeng, don't forget to promise us when you return to China!"

Zeng Zheng was speechless.

After returning to China, he didn't want to add the word "blind date" to his itinerary!
Walk through the corridor and come to Wang Junsheng's room on the other side.

"Leader, are you looking for me?"

Knocking on the door and entering the room, there are not only Wang Junsheng and others in the room, but also Zhang Jilong, who just took office in the AFC.

In this Asian Games, some cadres of the AFC have also been meeting in Bangkok.

It seems that there is some action.

"Xiao Zeng is here?" Wang Junsheng nodded, "Sit down."

"Okay, now that everyone is full, I have something for Deputy Zhang to tell everyone."

After Wang Junsheng finished speaking, Zhang Jilong stepped forward and said with a serious face:

"This afternoon, the AFC just finished an important meeting."

"After a unanimous vote, a decision was passed with 94% of the vote, requiring the cooperation of all member states."

"That is, we Asian countries will unite and boycott the World Cup."
