World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 232 Still Gets Punishment

What is history?

This is called history!
When Zeng Zheng led General Fan into the post-match press conference, the media immediately aimed their guns at the two.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"kacha!"

"KACHA!!!"

The flashing lights almost blinded the two of them.

Zeng Zhengxue pulled out the chair competitively, then sat down, posing as a winner.

Of course, he was indeed a winner.

After the game, people will only remember the score, no one will remember what the game was like.

As the loser, Tardelli grabbed the microphone first.

He didn't want to see the face of China's victory again, and he just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible after fulfilling his obligations.

"Our players played well and worked hard today."

"They fought until the last second and I'm very satisfied with that."

"But I have to mention that the Chinese team played extremely ugly in today's game."

"This ugliness is not only reflected in the game process, but also in their character!"

"For the humiliating behavior of the Chinese team in today's competition, we will directly complain to the Olympic Committee."

"It was an ugly game, a dirty win for the opponent!"

"If we don't get a satisfactory answer, we Italians will never rest!"

After speaking, Tardelli threw the microphone on the table and left angrily.

The flashing lights of the reporters stayed at the door of the conference site following Tardelli's leaving figure.

The moment the figure of the Italian head coach disappeared, he turned to Zeng Zheng in an instant.

"For today's game, you will definitely have a lot to ask."

"It just so happens that I'm in a good mood today."

"If you have any questions, just ask."

HUREY! ! !

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

The head coach of the losing side left angrily, and the head coach of the winning side talked eloquently.

It's like giving pillows when you sleep, and pillowcases when you go to bed.

What could be more satisfying than a press conference like this?
Reporter: "Coach Zeng, have you thought about adopting such a tactic against your opponent today? Uh, I mean, use the Italian way to defeat Italy?"

"In China, this saying is 'Take the way of the other, and give back to the other'." Zeng Zheng said with a smile, "According to the rules of the game, all teams will know their opponents in the quarter-finals after qualifying for the group. Well, it is normal to prepare to face Italy in advance.”

Reporter: "Coach Zeng, today the Chinese team obviously has many chances to end the game in the regular game. Why do you have to drag the game to a penalty shootout?"

Zeng Zheng: "Sorry, in these 120 minutes, I didn't find any chance to kill Italy with one blow. If you find out, you can apply for the position of head coach of the Olympic team."

Reporter: "But in the 60 minutes of the second half, an Italian player was sent off with a red card!"

Zeng Zheng: "So what? Who said that 11 people will definitely win against 10 people?"

Reporter: "Then I can understand that this is your lack of confidence in yourself and your players?"

Zeng Zheng: "If I didn't have confidence in the players, then we would not have won the final victory. The result now is that we won, and the victory was achieved under the perfect execution of my tactics by the players. How can it be called Not confident?"

Reporter: "The insulting gestures made by the Chinese Olympic players to the Italian players during the game are also part of your tactical plan?"

Zeng Zheng: "What insulting gesture? Why didn't I see it?"

reporter:"."

Seeing Zeng Zheng pretending to be stupid, the reporters gritted their teeth.

Didn't you say that you know everything and say everything?

Why do you ask three questions when you get to a critical place?

Lao Tzu's gun has been pulled out, and the pillowcase is ready to be put on.

When I opened the package, I saw that you sent me a pack of water balloons? ? ?

During the entire press conference, apart from the voices praising the Olympic victory and advancing to the semi-finals, Zeng Zheng didn't mention anything about the Olympic defense tactics or Italy's red card.

I told you from the beginning, okay?

This is called using the way of the other, and giving it back to the other!
What the Italian team does on the field, we also learn what to do.

So after the game, except for some Italian journalists who were filled with righteous indignation, European journalists from Spain, Portugal, England, France, and Germany all had expressions of gloating.

Hunting geese all year round, you also have times when you are blinded by geese!

The news that the National Olympics eliminated Italy and advanced to the semi-finals of the Olympic Games is like a spring breeze blowing all over the world.

Regardless of the course of the game, whether Italy played one player less, whether the two sides played overtime, whether the outcome was determined through a penalty shootout.

Just listening to the words "Italy was eliminated by China", the public opinion is basically one-sided.

Italy knocked out head-to-head by an Asian team?

Could it be that the referee collected black money?

Or did the Italians play fake games?

Anyway, the fans' immediate reaction was disbelief.

After the verification, the second reaction was a mouthful of saliva: I am stupid, I can't even play against the Chinese team!

Although in the previous group stage, the National Olympics also eliminated the bullfighter Spain.

But the problem is that Spain's strength in Europe at this moment is simply not comparable to that of Italy, a team that has won three World Cup championships.

Fans recognize that Spanish football is indeed growing and developing, but it is still in the youth team stage.

It is normal for the youth team to fail the Chinese team.

After all, he was the champion of last year's World Youth Championship, and you are just the runner-up.

So this time Spain and the National Olympics played a 2-2 tie in the group match. The fans still think that Spain has improved!

But what the hell are you Italy?

The Samsung team, famous for its 1-0 practicalism, lost to an Asian team in a penalty shootout in the end?
Thanks to you, Serie A is also known as the Little World Cup.

What about kidding? !

Under the pressure of public opinion, "Gazzetta dello Sport" urgently issued a report entitled "Despicable Eastern Team".

In the report, it described in detail the various lazy defenses of the Olympic Games in the game, as well as the ugly big-foot clearance tactics.

It also focused on Shao Jiayi's "intentional foul" and "insulting gestures", thinking that the Olympic players were deliberately engaging in Italian mentality.

In such a competition environment, the Italian, who has one less player, still maintains a high morale, attacking the Olympic defense line again and again with the Olympic spirit of hard work, even if he exhausts his physical fitness.

In the end, it was precisely because of the lack of physical strength that he fell in the penalty shootout.

This report directly described the Italian players as the British and French allied forces who fought the enemy bravely and suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield of World War II. However, European fans who understand the Italian character did not buy it at all.

What is "Knowing that you are invincible and desperately attacking"?
What is "going forward bravely and dying after death"?
It's all made up!
Throughout the whole game, especially after Gattuso's red card, you Italian players have been playing in the midfield, okay?
Spain's "Marca" even described this match as "the most boring and lacking fighting spirit in Olympic history".

The Chinese team is weak, so it is reasonable to want to play a penalty shootout with you;
You are a Samsung Italy, and you have the same idea later, is it embarrassing?

In short, not only what the Italians said, they were indeed nailed to the pillar of shame for their Olympic defeat this time!

Corresponding to "Italy deserved to be out", it is "fortunately promoted to the Chinese team".

Among the Olympic team, only Li Jinyu played in Turin.

After a series of relegation battles last season, Li Jinyu has become an indispensable player in Turin.

After eliminating the Italian Olympic this time, he once again entered the vision of the top three in the north of Serie A.

The Milan duo are still far behind. After all, they have bought countless young attacking midfielders in the past two years.

But Juventus is different.

Now that Li Jinyu has become a well-known star of the Turin team, the old lady is naturally interested in this young East Asian player under her nose.

You must know that when a giant like Juventus buys foreign aid, in addition to examining the player's ability and team fitness, they will also consider their commercial status behind them.

As for East Asia, which has never been developed, almost all European giants have great interest.

Just like Nakata Hidetoshi who transferred to Perugia in the summer of 98, after helping Perugia to avoid relegation, Nakata had already moved to Rome in January this year.

Now, the "Asian Derby" between Li Jinyu and Nakata Hidetoshi has become the most talked about topic among Chinese and Japanese fans.

Which of the two is stronger and weaker has also become the focus of debate between Chinese and Japanese fans.

With the successful experience of Li Jinyu and Nakata Hidetoshi, more Serie A teams began to pay attention to the Olympic players on Zeng Zheng's team!

Even "Turin Sports" published an article for this.

The editor of the article said: "If the Chinese team won the Olympic championship like Nigeria did in 96, then I wouldn't be surprised that all the members of the Chinese team come to Serie A to play!"

For a while, many European teams were gearing up to get a share of the Olympic Games after the Olympics.

Ability is ability, honor is honor, and contempt is contempt.

After the National Olympic Games advanced to the semi-finals, fans all over the world are not optimistic about the National Olympic Games going further.

There's a reason for that too.

First of all, after these few games in the Olympic Games, the overall strength and technical and tactical level of the Olympic Games have been seen by the world.

In the end, Zeng Zheng still adopted the defensive method in the case of 11 against 10, and was lucky to defeat his opponent with a penalty shootout.

Followed by semi-final opponents.

It is the African lion Cameroon!

After Nigeria was eliminated, Cameroon became the biggest favorite to win the Olympic Games.

And when Italy was also out, Cameroon's odds of winning the championship plummeted by nearly half.

Except for domestic fans, almost no one thinks that the Olympic Games can take another step and cross the mountain of Cameroon.

What's more, the situation of the National Olympics itself is not very good.

After Italian bamboo shoes protested and reported, Shao Jiayi, Li Yan and Li Yi's "umbrella opening" action did not escape the punishment of the Olympic Committee in the end.

On the second day after the National Olympics advanced to the semi-finals, Zeng Zheng's coaching staff received a fine issued by the Olympic Committee.

"Xiao Zeng, what's written on it?"

Seeing the punishment letter from the Olympic Committee, Wang Junsheng and Li Xiaoguang were also anxious.

".The team was fined 10 yuan, and the three players were each fined 3 yuan and suspended for two games."

"And the penalty takes effect immediately, and no appeal is allowed."

After Zeng Zheng briefly introduced the general situation, he spread his hands.

"I didn't expect that in this regard, the Italians are quite agile and decisive. I thought they were just talking."

Wang Junsheng rolled a blank look at Zeng Zheng. He already had a rough idea of ​​Zeng Zheng's tactical arrangements.

"If you engage in the mentality of other people's team members like this, can they not report you!"

"Bamboo mat, I'm doing this for us to win and advance!" Zeng Zheng raised his hands above his head, "I'm absolutely loyal to the organization!"

"Okay, okay, I know you are doing it for the good of the team." Wang Junsheng rolled his eyes at Zeng Zheng's exaggerated actions.

This time the men's football team can advance to the semi-finals, which has already exceeded the task!
You must know that before this, the fans only wanted to see the Olympic Games score a goal and win a game.

"The penalty is the penalty. What does it mean that no appeal is allowed?" Li Xiaoguang on the side was also a little dissatisfied.

"It means that they don't allow us to take advantage of the loopholes in the rules, and let these three people bid farewell to this Olympic Games."

Although he didn't feel very good about Li Xiaoguang, Zeng Zheng still explained patiently.

"According to the rules of international competitions, after a general player is sentenced to a suspension, the team will file an appeal as soon as possible."

"And during this appeal period, the penalty will not take effect, so the player can still participate in the game."

"Most of the results are that this competition is over, and the player's penalty is still implemented, but it has been extended to the next competition."

"So this time the Olympic Committee just doesn't want us to take advantage of this loophole, and just let Xiao Shao and the three of them bid farewell to the Olympics in advance."

When everyone heard it, they suddenly realized.

Wang Junsheng nodded, then frowned and said, "Are we good enough for the next game?"

"Eleven players in the starting lineup are certainly enough." Zeng Zheng shrugged, "But basically there are no substitutes."

So far in this Olympic Games, the National Olympics has been injured, and the judgment has been judged.

After Zhang Yuxie's surgery, he was wrapped in plaster and returned to the team on a stretcher;

Zhao Junzhe's knee injury was also wrapped in a bandage, which was protected by Zeng Zheng.

Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Zhang Xiaorui, and General Fan all had some minor injuries. Although they could play with injuries, Zeng Zheng must always monitor them carefully, for fear of any accidents when they qualify.

Coupled with the suspension of Shao Jiayi, Li Yi and Li Yan, the next semi-final will be against a strong team like Cameroon. It is no wonder that the National Olympics will win!

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have already advanced to the semi-finals! No matter what, this Olympic Games is a hero!"

Wang Junsheng took a deep breath, and made a conclusion for the men's football team in Sydney, "After returning to China this time, everyone will be rewarded, big rewards!"

When everyone present heard this, they all showed satisfied smiles.

Only Zeng Zheng pouted.

Ever since he fell in love with Miss Qian, he always felt that these people were spending his family's money.
