World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 189 Bahrain "Encounter"

News of the Olympic victory over Bahrain spread like wildfire.

Before the game is over, the editor has already written an article, waiting for the score to settle.

Throughout the game, not only was the National Olympic comeback and victory after one goal behind was widely reported, but the angry Zeng Zheng also became the focus of discussion among fans.

"It's really embarrassing for Coach Zeng. The youth team led so well, but at the U23 level, they started to stretch their hips. This kind of contrast is really hard to accept."

"Fortunately, the Olympic players are fighting for themselves, otherwise the reputation of coach Zeng might have fallen into the hands of these players."

"However, looking at what Coach Zeng said after the game, he felt that scoring 5 goals did not satisfy him! I have to say that Coach Zeng has really high demands on this group of players!"

"It's not that Coach Zeng was dissatisfied with the goal, but that the conceded goal really disappointed Coach Zeng."

"Yeah, I've been training in Shanghai for so long. If it rains a little, I won't be able to kick!"

"Isn't it fog? That's also called rain?"

Seeing the goal conceded in the National Olympics, the fans were disappointed and angry.

The biggest characteristic of domestic players is that they played very well when they were young.

But once he entered the adult team, he played worse and worse.

Just when the fans thought that this "golden generation" was not worthy of the name, they never thought that this group of players would explode with such a strong combat effectiveness.

Originally, the 2-1 lead score in the first half was already satisfied, after all, this is considered as the players making up for their mistakes;
The successive explosions in the second half were a surprise to the fans who came to watch the game.

Good guy!
It turns out that this is the true strength of the Olympic Games!
It turns out that Coach Zeng is not bragging, this National Olympics is really amazing!

For a while, the fans' expectations for this Olympic Games have been raised to a new height.

I thought that with such a performance, Zeng Zheng would praise the players at the press conference after the game.

But after seeing Zeng Zheng's dead fish eyes and Li Weifeng's trembling expression, the fans softened again.

"Hey, Coach Zeng is really too, why are you so strict? Isn't this a win!"

"Be strict. After all, the ball shouldn't be lost. Coach Zeng pays attention to details."

"However, it's really pitiful to see Weifeng's appearance. I guess he was often criticized by coach Zeng when he was in the Jianglong team."

"To be honest, seeing such players and coaches today, I am finally relieved of the Chinese team. Strict teachers make good apprentices, this sentence seems to be true!"

"Come on, boys from the National Olympics, be careful not to make Coach Zeng angry in the future."

"Ha! I just don't know what kind of criticism these Olympic players will receive when they go back!"

A big victory swept away the haze of the previous away draw against South Korea.

Because of sorrow, it has appeared on the face of South Korean coach Huo Jung-moo.

During the China-Pakistan battle, the reporter inadvertently discovered that the head coach of South Korea, Huo Jung-moo, was sitting in the back corner on the right side of the rostrum.

Obviously, he didn't want to draw attention to himself.

But when the reporter saw him on the rostrum, he was not surprised.

Because South Korea only played against Bahrain on the 17th, Xu Dingmao said long ago that he must come to the scene to watch the match.

After seeing Bahrain scored a goal in the 13th minute, Xu Dingmao finally broke into a smile on his stern face.

But a minute later, the smile froze on his face.

After seeing the Olympic team score the second goal, Xu Dingmao's face became more and more serious.

No one could tell what he was thinking from his face as hard as a piece of steel.

For this game, South Korea also sent five reporters.

During the intermission, two South Korean reporters surrounded Xu Dingmao, constantly recording something on paper according to Xu Dingmao's dictation.

At that time, many fans and reporters were by Xu's side, but because they didn't understand Korean, they could only worry secretly.

Fortunately, a reporter from South Korea's "Daily Sports" agreed to reveal Xu Dingmao's notes to reporters after the game.

After he made a 20-minute "report" call to China, the Chinese reporters finally "intercepted" 2 minutes of information.

According to Xu Dingmao's judgment, these 45 minutes can't really reflect the true level of both sides.

Bahrain is not good at "water battles", and many players are tense due to the atmosphere of tens of thousands of fans in Shanghai, resulting in out-of-shape movement skills and unable to exert their full strength.

This coincides with the idea of ​​the Bahrain team.

In interviews after the game, several Bahrain players expressed nervousness about the atmosphere.

After 45 minutes of the second half, Xu Dingmao's face sank like water, and his brows were tightly knit together.

It can be guessed from his facial expression that he still misjudged the true strength of the Olympic team.

Especially seeing that the Bahrain team did not take the opportunity to attack when the Bahrain team was exhausted, Xu Dingmao's heart sank to the bottom.

On the second day after returning to China, Xu Dingmao's evaluation of Zeng Zheng was clearly on the paper.

"I used to be a coach with meticulous observation skills and a strong overall view."

"He knows when enough is enough."

"Normal people can only see one or two steps, but he has seen three or four steps, or even more!"

After the game, former Olympic coach Xu Hebao also spoke highly of Zeng Zheng.

"Zeng Zheng has always been a visionary coach."

"He is very clear that after the Olympic Games were tied by South Korea in the away game, they urgently need a big victory to restore his and the team's reputation."

"But this big victory cannot be won too thoroughly."

"The reason is due to the competition system of the top nine competitions."

"Because of the three-in-one system, the relationship between us and the Bahrain team is extremely delicate."

"We must let our own people feel that there is no suspense in defeating Bahrain, and we must not let the Bahraini people think that there is no hope of qualifying for the group."

"I think this is the biggest reason why the National Olympics did not take advantage of the victory at the last moment."

As the saying goes, those in power are obsessed.

When Xu Hebao led the national team back then, he never thought about this.

After class at Wanda in the middle of this year, Xu and Bao, who were free at home, began to study Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Looking at it now, the art of war in the past few months was really not in vain.

5:1.

It not only demonstrated the strength of their own team, but also boosted the morale of the whole team without causing too much harm to the Bahrainis.

Judging from the whole game process, the Olympic team is fully capable of scoring 8, 9, or even more!

Of course, there are also media speculations that Zeng Zheng "stopped" in time because of the face of "Pakistan".

Bahrain is an island country located in the southwest of the Persian Gulf, with a land area of ​​767 square kilometers, which is less than half of the capital's area.

As of this year, China and Bahrain have formally established diplomatic relations for ten years, known as the second "Pakistan Railway".

When Modu specially prepared two boxes of mineral water for the Bahrain team, the Bahrain team coach Sahrida was a little embarrassed.

"The Chinese are too friendly. In Bahrain, not everyone can drink this kind of water."

"We will show the same enthusiasm for the Chinese team's away games."

Perhaps it was because of this simple sentence of thanks that Zeng Zhengcai gave up on Bahrain.

Zeng Zheng is not known about Bahrain's confiscation and confiscation, but none of these Olympic players were pleased.

According to "internal" information, Zeng Zheng gave each starting player a review and punishment of tens of thousands of words after the game, and he was not allowed to write circle words.

Not only that, the originally planned team Suzhou tour was also temporarily canceled by Zeng Zheng, and it was changed to a theoretical class on techniques and tactics.

This kind of "mental torture" really made this group of starting players lose their skin.

At 15:21 local time on the 50th, Zeng Zheng finally arrived at Manama International Airport, the capital of Bahrain, after a 15-hour long flight.

"Coach Zeng!"

As soon as he walked out of the airport lobby, Zeng Zheng heard someone calling his name.

I was shocked.

I flew over from HK, so the paparazzi can see through this itinerary?

Just as Zeng Zheng was about to leave, he saw the back door of the van in front of him being pulled aside, and a familiar face appeared inside.

"Miss Qian, it's you."

"Coach Zeng, come up quickly, hurry up!"

Before Zeng Zheng could react, Miss Qian grabbed Zeng Zheng's arm and pulled him into the van.

"Boom!"

The door of the van was then quickly closed.

After getting into the car, Zeng Zheng discovered that the inside of the van was not as dilapidated as its appearance.

Although the interior is old, it is very clean and tidy.

In the car, besides Ms. Qian and Mr. Qian, there were two strangers sitting in the driver and co-pilot.

Seeing Zeng Zheng getting into the car, the two turned around and said hello to Zeng Zheng.

"Miss Qian, what are you?"

"Shh~~~"

Miss Qian put her index finger near her mouth and blew out a puff of hot air.

"Coach Zeng, look!"

Following Ms. Qian's fingers, Zeng Zheng saw more than a dozen East Asians dressed as reporters walking out of the airport hall.

"They flew from South Korea." Ms. Qian said holding a flight schedule, "Just the front and back of your plane."

"Coach Zeng, you don't want to be discovered by them either!"

Zeng Zheng nodded.

Glancing at the people in the car, he complained in his heart: I don't want to be discovered by you either!

As a head coach, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles.

Although the game can be watched in real time through the system, this God's perspective cannot meet Zeng Zheng's needs at all.

The venue of the game, the atmosphere of the scene, the real situation of the players... these can only be seen clearly when you go to the scene.

The driver stepped on the accelerator and the van started running on the road.

At this moment, the man in the co-pilot turned around and extended his hand to Zeng Zheng.

"Coach Zeng, hello, I've heard of you for a long time!"

"Uh hello hello."

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Dong Jun, and I own a small seafood market locally."

When Zeng Zheng was wondering, Ms. Qian at the side introduced enthusiastically:

"Coach Zeng, Uncle Dong was the men's volleyball coach back then. He was appointed by China to Bahrain to support volleyball eight years ago."

"I started a seafood business in the past two years, and I can be regarded as a partner of my dad's partner."

"Besides, Zhu Xie came here to play the first stop, and it was introduced by Uncle Dong."

When Zeng Zheng heard this, he put away his underestimation.

"It turned out to be Coach Dong, disrespect and disrespect."

"Hahaha, Coach Zeng, don't be polite to me!"

Dong Jun laughed, extremely heroic.

"How many years have I not been a coach!"

"Although I'm a little older than you, I've been in love with you for a long time."

"If you don't mind, just call me Brother Dong."

Before Zeng Zheng could speak, Miss Qian suddenly interrupted:

"Uncle Dong, Coach Zeng isn't that old, is he?"

"How old is this? Are you in your teens?"

Seeing Dong Jun's white temples by the light in the van, Zeng Zheng also nodded silently.

The opponent could have been sent here as a men's volleyball coach to support him eight years ago, but now he must be 50 years old at least.

It's not bad to call him uncle.

"Then I will call you Uncle Dong just like Miss Qian."

Dong Jun grinned, and exchanged glances with Mr. Qian behind him, but didn't say anything more.

After the car drove forward for a while, Zeng Zheng looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly asked:

"Miss Qian, do you know that I will come to Bahrain?"

"Of course I don't know!" Miss Qian shook her head, "But I followed you after I knew you bought the ticket."

"You also took this flight?" Zeng Zheng was taken aback. "Why didn't I see you?"

"Because you are in the economy class and I am in the first class!" Ms. Qian said proudly.

"Ok."

Zeng Zheng was choked speechless, so he had to change the subject, "Then what are you doing in Bahrain? Traveling?"

"If you can come to Bahrain for inspection, can't I?"

Miss Qian bared her canine teeth, and two sweet dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"What are you investigating? What's the matter? How many Bahraini players do you want to sign?"

"I'm not familiar with Bahrain, but I can sign South Korean players!" Ms. Qian blinked. "The level of South Korean players is quite high."

Well, Zeng Zheng is speechless again.

Seeing Tian being chatted to death by Zeng Zheng, Dong Jun in the co-pilot asked:
"Coach Zeng, what do you think of the weather in Bahrain?"

"It's not bad. For football players, this kind of weather is not bad."

"Then it's coming." Dong Jun smiled, "In two weeks, the weather in Bahrain will be cooler."

"Oh? That would be even better."

This is the first good news Zeng Zheng heard when he came to Bahrain.

"Coach Zeng, since you are here, you are a guest."

"Don't be polite to Uncle Dong either."

"These days, let me arrange it!"

It's hard to turn down the hospitality, Zeng Zheng nodded.

At 23:[-], Zeng Zheng was sent to the door of the Hilton Hotel.

"Coach Zeng, rest well first, I will pick you up at noon tomorrow!"

"Okay, then trouble Uncle Dong!"

To Zeng Zheng's surprise, both Ms. Qian and Mr. Qian followed suit.

"Eh, you also booked here?"

Miss Qian blinked, but did not answer.

After a while, Mr. Qian came back with a room card.

"Miss, this is the presidential suite on the eighth floor."

Zeng Zheng clicked his tongue.

Well, money can indeed be willful.

After getting the room card, Miss Qian shook her head in front of Zeng Zheng.

"Coach Zeng, do you want me to upgrade your room too?"

Zeng Zheng pursed his lips and turned his head to one side, "Forget it, thank you Miss Qian for your kindness. I'm not used to living in a room that's too high-end, so I'd better live in a standard room."

"Ah? That's it! Well, then I'll go back to the 'President' room to rest!"

The word 'President' stabbed deeply in Zeng Zheng's heart.

For a moment, Zeng Zheng really regretted it.

What a big-tailed wolf!
This is great, the free upgrade to the presidential suite is gone.

Holding the standard room card issued by the front desk, Zeng Zheng and Miss Qian entered the elevator together.

The standard room is on the 6th floor, and the presidential room is on the 8th floor.

Along the way, Miss Qian kept shaking the presidential room card in her hand.

As soon as the elevator arrived at the station, Zeng Zheng hurried out, not wanting to stay for a second longer.

At this moment, Miss Qian's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Coach Zeng, wait a minute."

Zeng Zheng waved his hands without turning his head, "I said, I'll just live in a standard room..."

"That's not what I'm going to say."

"What's that?" Zeng Zheng turned his head and watched the elevator door slowly close.

"I just wanted to say"

The moment the two doors closed, there was a whisper from inside: "Is that suit not suitable? I, I can find a tailor to make you a new one."
