World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 146 Punishment
After scoring the goal, Li Jinyu immediately got up from the ground, put the clothes on his chest over his head and ran around the field.

Other teammates followed suit, shouting at the cameras and the audience in the stands.

"Oh Harbin oh Harbin! We are north of the north!!!"

The fans stood up and began to sing the team anthem in unison.

"Goal, goal!"

"Goal scored so quickly!"

"It has to be a player of the national team! This goal is so fast!"

"Quick, quick, take a picture with the camera!"

"This is a historical moment in Harbin football, hurry up and take pictures!"

The fans were ecstatic.

As they say, this is the first goal Harbin football scored in the First Division.

At this time, the big screen on the scene also began to replay Li Jinyu's goal.

At the same time, the words "Harbin Jianglong: 1" and "Guangdong Hongyuan: 0" appear in the subtitles below.

"This is the Jianglong team's first goal of the season. It was Li Jinyu who scored the goal, and it was Li Weifeng who assisted him!"

"This goal came from a frontcourt positioning kick from the Jianglong team."

"Li Weifeng nodded forward to ferry the ball, and Li Jinyu, who was unguarded in the middle, headed the ball directly into the net."

"This skillful coordination must have been practiced many times before."

"The Hongyuan team was very passive in this defense."

"When Zhang Xiaorui took the corner kick, their thoughts seemed to be half a beat behind."

At this time, the photographer also found Zeng Zheng on the sidelines.

At this moment, he also waved his fists fiercely, not caring at all about his image after being photographed.

With this goal, it can be regarded as the bottom line for the full audience.

"Keep working hard, don't be proud!"

"One more!"

"Strive to win the game as soon as possible!"

No matter how much Matsuri refused to believe it, he had to accept the fact that he fell behind 0-1 after the opening game.

It is a good thing to learn from the pain, but everyone showed a dejected face.

It's not that they were careless just now, but that they really didn't expect that Li Weifeng would squeeze to the front, and they really didn't expect that Li Jinyu would suddenly come out from the middle.

The harsh weather in Harbin made their brains and thinking stiff, and their joints also became numb.

Many of the abilities of the training office in normal times cannot be displayed on this northern field.

Most players, let alone playing football, have been thinking about how to fight the cold.

It is normal to retract the hands into the sleeves. How to take the ball in place with a step, they haven't figured it out yet.

After the game restarted, Hongyuan's players did not show the counterattack posture they should have.

Especially when the team's consecutive attacks ended in mistakes, even the head coach Hongyuan stopped talking.

What else to say?
On such a cold day, the players handed in their guns and surrendered!

In the second half, Deco and Zhang Xiaorui scored a goal each, making the score at 3-0.

In the post-match press conference, Zeng Zheng's face was full of smiles, unlike the head coach of the Hongyuan team, who had a bad face.

"Hello, Coach Zeng, congratulations to the Jianglong team for winning the match. What do you think of the team's performance today?"

"Obviously, the players did not play their due strength. In the first half and the second half, we all missed several necessary goals." Zeng Zheng talked eloquently.

"If they had been better at seizing their chances, I think we would have scored more goals today."

Zeng Zheng's speech caused a burst of low cheers from the audience.

Playing the opponent 3-0 is still not good enough. When you really play well, how many goals will you have to score?
After the first round, A and B were devastated.

Other teams have seen their fate from Hongyuan.

Yes, the Jianglong team decorated the provincial stadium well, and the venue was almost up to international standards.

But the weather in Harbin is simply too cold!
The ball has not been kicked yet, and the person is frozen to death.

How is this a game?
For a while, all kinds of complaints, misfortune and distress letters were reported to Zhuxie, expressing protest against Jianglong team playing their home court in Harbin.

Faced with these doubts, Wang Junsheng replied very simply - didn't the Jianglong team play outdoors?
Everyone is playing on the same conditions, on the same playing field.

Why can't you adapt to others?

For this reason, Wang Junsheng even published an article titled "The temperature should not affect the athletes' competitive ability", specifically to justify the name of the Jianglong team.

This is just great.

Fans across the country know that the Jianglong team is going to "walk" A-A.

With such a unique geographical advantage, the other teams of A and B can't win together!
The fans' thinking is of course simple.

Harbin is cold, but our fans are enthusiastic.

This is enough!

Taking advantage of the cold weather, the team traveled north and south and played two away games and one home game, winning the first four consecutive victories.

At this moment, Gao Hongbo came to Harbin.

"Brother Gao, how is the old man?"

In the office, Zeng Zheng poured Gao Hongbo a cup of hot tea.

"Thanks to Coach Zeng, my dad is almost in good health." After finishing speaking, Gao Hongbo took out a can of Longjing from his bag, "Coach Zeng, please accept it. This is a good tea specially selected by my dad."

Zeng Zheng smiled slightly, and took the tea without changing his face.

Gao Hongbo is not a person who is good at expressing.

When he went north this time, Zeng Zheng naturally knew why he came.

Outside the window is the track and field of Harbin Sports Institute.

The team members live here, eat here, train here, and Zeng Zheng's office is naturally built here.

"Brother Gao, what do you think of my team members?"

Looking out through the glass, the players are training on the playground.

After watching for a while, Gao Hongbo nodded.

"Coach Zeng is worthy of being a member of Jianlibao. His basic skills are solid. But..."

"But what?" Seeing that Gao Hongbo hesitated to speak, Zeng Zheng asked hastily.

"Coach Zeng, are those trainings also what you asked to do?"

Following Gao Hongbo's fingers, Zeng Zheng saw Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu.

Everyone else is doing normal passing and catching training, but a few of them are showing off their skills.

Especially when there were fans watching and booing, these people intensified.

"These bastards! They'll embarrass me!" Zeng Zheng cursed angrily.

Only after winning a few games, the tail cocked up.

Is this still available?

Seeing that Zeng Zheng was angry, Gao Hongbo tried to persuade him.

"Coach Zeng, the Jianglong team is all young people in their early 20s after all. Young people like to show themselves, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"If you want me to say, the Jianglong team should play with their own characteristics."

"The northernmost team in China, the youngest team, the most sunny and dynamic team."

"Shouldn't such a team have its own characteristics?"

After what Gao Hongbo said, Zeng Zheng felt embarrassed instead.

Seeing Gao Hongbo's serious face, Zeng Zheng took the opportunity to say: "Brother Gao, are you interested in building this team into your own characteristics?"

Gao Hongbo was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Coach Zeng, you can't do this. After all, you are the head coach of the Jianglong team."

Zeng Zheng shook his head and leaned back on the chair.

"Brother Gao, to tell you the truth, I've thought a lot these days."

"I used to want to be a coach and lead the team well."

"But you can see it now, my family is big now."

"The club has to ask me to come forward in terms of operations, and I still have to grasp the management of the team."

"The most important thing is that the bamboo shoes don't let me stop."

"Look, in a few days I have to take the team to Nigeria for the World Youth Championship."

"So I thought, if it doesn't work, I will hand over the position of head coach to someone I can trust."

"I believe in the strength of this group of players under my command."

"If you come to play normally, you can get an A-A ticket."

"Brother Gao, it would be great if you have the idea of ​​becoming a coach. I believe you can definitely become my right-hand man!"

"At that time, we brothers will build the best club in China together!"

What Zeng Zheng said made Gao Hongbo's blood boil.

Before he came, he just wanted to be an assistant coach under Zeng Zheng's command, to learn about the experience of leading a team.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Zheng handed over such a large stall to himself with a wave of his hand.

Faced with Zeng Zheng's invitation, Gao Hongbo was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Coach Zeng, Zeng, I, I have just retired after all, and I don't have enough experience. It would be bad to delay the team."

"It doesn't matter! I can train you!" Zeng Zheng blinked.

"Anyway, there is still some time before I go to Nigeria. During this period, I will definitely train you to be a qualified head coach."

"Uh, at least there is no problem leading the Jianglong team!"

So, in the next few days, Zeng Zheng gave several assistant teachers under his command a small talk for several days.

The content of the explanation is also very simple. It is to break apart and crush the 20 people on the team, list all of their strengths, characteristics, and development directions, and then bind them into a book for several people to understand.

Then Zeng Zheng took out 6 sets of formations and lineups that had been planned for the team before, and explained the simple tactics of home and away games, offense and defense, and leading and falling behind.

On the football field, the two teams really need to know themselves and the enemy, and achieve the goal of defeating their opponents by playing back and forth.

But at the level of A and B, it is far from reaching that height.

"One trick, eat all over the world" is the best strategy.

What's more, the Jianglong team occupies such a strong geographical position, Zeng Zheng's 5 sets of backup tactics are enough.

In the fifth round of A-B, Jianglong played against Guangzhou Helios at home.

There are many A-B Guangzhou teams this season, and there are three, namely Guangzhou Hongyuan, Guangzhou Helios and Guangzhou Baiyunshan.

The Jianglong team, which has won 4 games in a row, did not pay attention to their opponents at all.

Guangzhou is basically the southernmost and lowest latitude team in China.

The team members here are also most afraid of the cold.

Although it is now entering April, the weather in Harbin is still around a few degrees.

The Jianglong players who have long been accustomed to sub-zero are gearing up one by one, waiting to continue to use the advantage of the home court to finish torturing their opponents.

When entering the field before the game, some players in the Jianglong team began to look forward to celebrating after winning.

After the start of the game, the confident Jianglong players began to aggressively attack from the first minute of the game.

Zeng Zheng didn't say anything, and they gave full play to their personal skills, just like what Gao Hongbo had seen before.

Faced with such fancy skills such as Marseille maneuvers and cycling, the fans at the scene kept exclaiming.

Every time Zhang Xiaorui does a trick, the female students in the stands will scream.

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng hugged his shoulders on the sidelines and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Coach Zeng, this is my negligence."

Gao Hongbo, who had been on the job for two days, hastily apologized to Zeng Zheng on the sidelines.

He didn't expect it either.

My original "joke" turned out to be a reason for the players to indulge.

"It's okay, let them play!" Zeng Zheng snorted coldly, "You don't know it hurts until you fall!"

Obviously, these hormones did not give the team an advantage.

The imaginative Brazilian football played by Zhang Xiaorui and others did not pose any threat to the opponent. Instead, at the end of the first half, Sun God scored a goal with a practical long pass.

This is the first time the Jianglong team has conceded a goal at home since the start of the season!

After the home team lost the ball, Zhang Xiaorui restrained himself a little.

In the next game, the Jianglong team suffered a lot against the tenacious defensive Sun God.

No matter how you attack, you can't break through the opponent's tortoise shell.

In the end, it was the experienced Carreca who dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area and fell to the ground, winning a "home penalty".

Deco made it overnight and helped the team equalize the score.

But the Jianglong team stopped here for this game.

1 to 1, the Jianglong team won the first draw of the season.

After the game, facing the players who walked off the court, the coaching staff all had gloomy faces.

Zeng Zheng said a word: "We will have a summary meeting after we go back."

Hearing this, the hearts of all the team members rose.

"Boss Zeng is really angry, isn't he?"

In the player tunnel, Zhang Xiaorui talked to Li Jinyu cautiously.

"What do you think? Boss Zeng is angry that you haven't seen it?" Li Jinyu rolled his eyes.

"Isn't it? Isn't it just a game? And we didn't lose!" Zhang Xiaorui scratched the back of his head, still trying to struggle, "I didn't do well in this game, but the foreigner wasted a lot of opportunities!"

"Your words are enough to make Boss Zeng punish you for writing a [-]-word self-criticism!" Shang Yi curled his lips aside, "Have you forgotten how Boss Zeng taught us? When you encounter problems, you should first find the problem yourself. Leave others alone!"

"Yes, yes" several times in a row, Zhang Xiaorui remained silent.

After a while, Zhang Xiaorui pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Boss Zeng won't fire me anyway, what are you afraid of?"

Zhang Xiaorui's self-comfort really affected several other people.

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

Yeah, isn't it just a bad performance in a game?

It's over when you win the next game!
Thinking of this, the smiles returned to everyone's faces.

More than half an hour later, Zeng Zheng returned to the locker room, looked at the laughing crowd in the room, and said expressionlessly.

"Laugh? Still have the face to smile?"

"Do you think my team is relying on you to win?"

"Or do you think I have nothing else to do with you?"

"Don't forget, I'm still the coach of the national team!"

"Your club is not performing well and you still want to go to the national team?"

"no way!!!"
