World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 142 North of the North
On January 1th, the HLJ Provincial Stadium was crowded with people.

The media came, the reporters came, the fans came, even the deputy mayor came.

"Coach Zeng, Coach Zeng."

"welcome!"

"Welcome to Harbin!"

"I welcome you on behalf of the 927 million Harbin people!"

Facing the long guns and cannons of the media, Zeng Zheng seemed very calm.

"When we first came to Guibao Land, we have to rely on the mayor to take care of us. We can't be kicked out just because of poor grades!"

"Coach Zeng, look where you are talking! You can bring the team here, and we, the people of Harbin, are too late to welcome you! Where will you be kicked out?"

The mayor held Zeng Zheng's shoulders tightly, fearing that he would fly away in the next second.

When the microphone was passed to the mayor, in front of all the fans, he expressed strong support for Zeng Zheng's team.

"Coach Zeng is the coach of our national team. He is the coach who can lead the national team to the World Cup and reach the top 16!"

"Now that he comes to our Harbin to play football, the HEB City ZF will give full support and fully give the green light!"

"I hope that the citizens will also show their enthusiasm and pay more attention to our team."

"I believe that our Harbin football will get better and better!"

As early as three days ago, Zeng Zheng asked the printing company to print a brochure about the team.

On the cover of the brochure are the five characters "Harbin River Dragon" and a team emblem of the Dragon Crossing the River.

It introduces in detail all kinds of information about the team from the coach to the players, and I believe it includes the origin of each assistant coach.

This booklet costs ten yuan a copy, which is a bit expensive.

But on the 10th day, you can use this booklet to enter the stadium to watch the meeting ceremony of the Jianglong team.

Judging from the tens of thousands of fans at the scene today, this booklet has already brought tens of thousands of dollars in revenue to the team.

The snow in the stadium has long been cleaned up.

The fans stood in the stands with their hands in their hands, looking eagerly at the twenty or so players in the stadium.

"Look, that's Zhang Xiaorui!"

"Li Jinyu is here too!"

"Hey! There are two foreigners! They look really strong!"

"That's no ordinary foreigner, that's Maradona's teammate!"

"What? Where did you get the news?"

"You bought that booklet for nothing? It says everything!"

"Ah, I thought this was today's admission ticket. I didn't look at it when I bought it! I have to study it carefully when I go back this time, so I don't know who to cheer for when the time comes!"

When the fans were discussing, every player in the field performed a live show of "flower work" under the order of Zeng Zheng.

Although most of them were juggling the ball, the fans still gave warm applause to see the players' skillful juggling ability.

After all the players showed off, the microphone was passed to Zeng Zheng.

"Cough, cough, it's such a cold day, and everyone is still so enthusiastic to join the scene, Zeng really doesn't know what to say."

"First of all, thank you! Thank you very much for coming here in your busy schedule to support the Harbin Jianglong team."

"Presumably everyone has seen from the team's brochure that our starting point for this season is A-B, and the goal is definitely A-A!"

"With the support of Harbin Guibao, I think it will not be difficult for us to get an A!"

"You guys say, don't you?"

"Yes!!!" The fans were excited.

The year before last, there was a second-tier team that excited the people of Harbin enough.

This year, we started playing directly from A-B, and these fans are even more excited!
After Zeng Zheng finished speaking, the host on the side took the opportunity to say:
"Coach Zeng, in view of the fact that you led the team to Harbin this time, the student representatives of Harbin specially wrote a team song for our team, and want to present it to the team today, what do you think?"

"Yo? Is there such a good thing?" Zeng Zheng grinned after hearing this, "Then what are you waiting for? Play music!"

Under the interested attention of Zeng Zheng and others, more than a dozen students from Harbin Institute of Physical Education came to the stage with microphones.

"Hello Coach Zeng!" Everyone bowed in unison.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone!"

"Coach Zeng, the team song we wrote for the Jianglong team is called North of the North. I hope Coach Zeng and all Jianglong team members will like it."

After the leader finished speaking, he took a deep breath and took the lead in singing.

"Oh Harbin, oh Harbin!

We are north of the north!
We are a bunch of savage devils,

Ole, Ole, Ole!
Oh Jianglong team, oh Jianglong team.

Rush forward fearlessly!
We scream for you beside you,

Ole, Ole, Ole! "

The sonorous and powerful singing echoed in the north windy stadium. The firmness and majesty in the singing made countless people yearn for it.

When it was sung for the second time, many people hummed along with the popular rhythm.

And the students of Harbin Institute of Physical Education opened their mouths earlier and began to chant loudly.

At that moment, Zeng Zheng really seemed to see a group of devils in snow-white bear skins rushing out of the ice and snow whistling by the north wind, tearing all the enemies in front of them to pieces!

In such a harsh environment.

Let alone a counterattack, the enemy had difficulty even standing still.

After singing a cappella twice, the leading student stood where he was, staring fixedly at Zeng Zheng.

"it is good!"

After a while, Zeng Zheng nodded slowly.

"This is the team song of our Jianglong team!"

"Yeah~~~" The students of Harbin Sports Institute burst into cheers.

When the team flag, team emblem, and team song became the gold-lettered signs of the Jianglong team, all the manufacturers who were in the heat worked overtime to produce countless products.

At the same time as the sales, waves of publicity were also carried out for the Jianglong team.

After listening to Zeng Zheng's phone report, Wang Junsheng chuckled.

"Okay, Xiao Zeng, I can't tell, you have such a great influence, and now the whole Harbin is supporting you."

"Isn't that brought by Uncle Wang? If I hadn't mixed up with Uncle Wang in the national team, would the fans have given me such a big face?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you bastard! Just after I praised you, you became angry again." Wang Jun was so angry that he wanted to reach out from the microphone and slap Zeng Zheng twice.

Then he sighed again, "You said you too, with so many good resources under your hand, why choose Harbin? It's so cold there!"

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with Harbin? No matter how high the latitude of Harbin is, it's not as high as Russia, right? Isn't the Russian Super League doing well?"

"Can it be the same? Everyone in Russia has lived at that latitude since they were young. What about us? Guangzhou is almost in the tropics!"

"Then I don't care, it's their own business if they can't get used to it!"

"Good boy, you're thinking of cooperating with me!" Wang Junsheng scolded with a smile, "You're deliberately bullying the southern team, aren't you?"

"I bully them with severe cold, and they can bully me with heat and humidity!" Zeng Zheng didn't care at all, "I didn't go abroad anyway, and my site selection is reasonable and legal! Admit defeat, I don't think it's less than 3 to 0."

Wang Junsheng also nodded after listening, "You are right."

"Football players are all about adapting to a variety of situations."

"Don't be intimidated by the cold weather."

"Otherwise, when we go abroad and encounter inappropriate weather and venues, why don't we just stop playing?"

Wang Junsheng was talking to himself here, while Zeng Zheng laughed suddenly there.

"Uncle Wang, you only think about us going out and kicking, and you don't think about others?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Uncle Wang, think about it." Zeng Zheng guided a little bit, "If my team has a firm foothold in Harbin, it will succeed in reaching A again next year, and become a team that has competed in A-A year after year."

"This home court needs to be repaired a little bit to meet international competition standards."

"Next time there will be a top [-] match, a top ten match, etc. My field is a big strategic base for us!"

"Not to mention Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand, but Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Which one do you think will work?"

"Looking at the whole of Asia, apart from Xiaotian and North and South Korea who can fight hard, who else is our opponent?"

"These 3 points, isn't it a steady hand?"

Wang Junsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Okay, Xiao Zeng, you have a good idea!"

"Of course!" Zeng Zheng said proudly, "Our country has a vast land and abundant resources. We can have whatever climate we want, what kind of climate we want, and what kind of geographical conditions we want! Someday there will be a team in West Z, and we will build a few stadiums there. At that time, the whole of Asia will have to beg us not to put the playing field there!"

"Hahahaha, you young people still have good brains!" Wang Junsheng clapped his hands and smiled.

Wanting to have a resident team and a resident stadium in West Z, this matter will not be possible in ten or twenty years.

But so what?

At least Zeng Zheng provided ideals for this vision.

Maybe one day in the future, there will be a team from West Z in China's top league!

On January 1, a week after the first A17 team arrived, Zeng Zheng also led the team to the spring training base in Haigeng, Kunming.

The arrival of batches of players brought rolls of film to be sealed.

At this time, Haigeng had just had a heavy snowfall. During this period, the A-A team members who arrived first did nothing but run circles every day.

And the stall Zeng Zheng came to was just about the time when the snow melted.

"The Harbin River Dragons team has 23 leaders, coaches and players, and there are actually 23! Here is the list!"

Facing Zeng Zheng, who was wearing sunglasses, the receptionist didn't even look at the list, and immediately put on a welcoming expression: "Come on, Coach Zeng, I'm waiting for you to lead the team!"

"What's your name?" Zeng Zheng asked.

"Coach Zeng, just call me Xiaoguan."

As Xiao Guan said, he took out a booklet from his pocket.

"Coach Zeng, here are all the rules and regulations of this Haigeng spring training, as well as the final test items and standards."

"As long as all the players meet this standard, they will be able to participate in this year's A-A-B."

"It's okay to fail, there will be make-up exams later."

Zeng Zheng casually opened the first page, and what caught his eyes was a series of fines.

If the lights are not turned off at 10:1000 in the evening, or if you talk on the phone, smoke or drink alcohol during the lunch break, you will be fined 3000 yuan for the first time, and [-] yuan for the second time.

If you don't do morning exercises on time, you will be fined 3000 yuan once, and it will increase to 5000 yuan for the second time.

The most fined are those who stay out at night and gamblers. In addition to being ordered to leave the base, they will also be fined 10000 yuan.

In addition to punishing players, there are also restrictions on coaches.

For example, if the team leader and the head coach do not arrange more than two team meetings with a focus on ideological and discipline rectification every week, a fine of 2000 yuan will be imposed.

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng was also dumbfounded.

"Damn it, the coach also needs to be fined for smoking? Is the bamboo shoes short of money and short of money?"
