World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 275 The Chinese team is a problem

Japan and South Korea lost, Iran lost.

Neither can Saudi Arabia or Iraq.

After the China Youth Team won the Asian Youth Championship, the whole of Asia had a common question.

Who else can fight against the Chinese team?

From the Olympics to the Asian Cup, and then from the Asian Cup to the Asian Youth Championship.

The Chinese team has achieved great success in three fronts and three battles.

While bringing various honors to Chinese football, it also added a new topic to Asian football.

That is how to fight against the Chinese team led by Zeng Zheng.

Coordinated, skilled and experienced adult teams cannot beat;
A youth team with physical strength, aggressiveness, and hard work can't beat it.

Especially South Korea.

Shouldn't the title of Asian overlord be given up?

Facing the interview, Zeng Zheng showed that he didn't care about these titles.

"It's just an ordinary Asian Youth Championship. We won this title last time in the Asian Youth Championship."

"In my opinion, it's very short-sighted to keep looking at Asia."

"Instead of blindly discussing who is the hegemon in Asia, it is better to spend more effort to improve the overall level of Asian football."

"Don't forget, compared with the world's top teams, Asian football is just running with them."

wow~~~
Faced with Zeng Zheng's calm answer, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar.

They wrote down the words "the Chinese team has no rivals in Asia, and Coach Zeng has set his sights on the world".

One family is happy and the other is sad.

In the first Asian Youth Championship, Zeng Zheng kicked several opponents out of class while taking all the honors.

These include South Korea, Little Days and Iran.

Even the AFC used a piece of red to congratulate the Chinese youth team for successfully defending their title.

But these three bamboo shoes still decisively dismissed their youth team coaches.

According to North Korea's "Chosun Ilbo", "I, Japan and South Korea are still maintaining their superficial glory, and changing coaches if they can't play, this seems to be their last resort to maintain their dignity."

In addition, Singapore's "Straits Times" also published an article titled "Team China, a difficult problem for the whole of Asia".

The first half of the article mainly lists the series of championships that Zeng Zheng has won since his debut, as well as the records of matches with various Asian teams.

The fans were surprised to find that Zeng Zheng has almost never lost in these matches!
Even if it is a tie, it can be understood as preserving strength in the group stage.

After entering the knockout round, the Chinese team all made great strides, and finally won the championship.

There is also a more important data that shows that the Chinese team has almost never played a penalty shootout in the knockout round.

This is terrible!

This means that Zeng Zheng's team can always solve the battle within 120 minutes.

To go deeper, as the coach of the Chinese team, Zeng Zheng understands the opponent better; the players also have a more fighting spirit.

Only when a strong team plays against a weak team will it play calmly and with ease.

And once the penalty shootout occurs.

That at least means that the weak side is not too weak even if it is weak.

After seeing the Chinese team's winning rate of 75% in the past three years.

The fans fell silent.

If it is more accurate, only counting the games where Zeng Zheng was the head coach, the winning rate is even more than 83%.

This also includes competitions between the World Cup, the Olympic Games and the world's top teams.

After making these "shocking" data public, The Straits Times raised two sharp questions.

The first question is how other teams in Asia will deal with the Chinese team in the future.

In this case, the Chinese team will inevitably be studied under the microscope by the opponent before the World Cup.

So the second question is, how long will the Chinese team's strength last.

Is it a flash in the pan, or enduring?

In this regard, South Korea's "First Day Sports Daily" provided an extremely clear direction.

"To win the Chinese team, first win Zeng Zheng! "

Obvious.

For South Korea, Zeng Zhengcai is the "culprit" who broke the Korean-phobia!
Zeng Zheng before his debut.

Every time there is a war between China and South Korea, whether it is a South Korean coach or a player, they will pretend to be modest in front of reporters, saying that they are under "Koreaphobia", but they are actually under a lot of pressure.

Well now.

Every time I met the Chinese team, a lot of sand sculpture media from various Asian countries came forward and asked if they would be affected by "neophobia"?
What's more, there are some people who can't enunciate words standardly, and they hear "fear of China" as "fear of Zeng".

But whether it is "fear of China" or "fear of Zeng", the meaning is the same.

Since the Asian Cup was poured by the Chinese team for 8 games, South Korea's domestic football has been full of complaints.

It was okay when the Asian Youth Championship did not start.

These youth soldiers clamored to avenge their predecessors.

Now the Asian Youth Championship is over.

They lost to the Chinese youth team in the first game.

In the end, he didn't even get the tickets for the World Youth Championship, and returned home in despair.

How can the South Korean people accept such a contrast?
So in the end, after their expert analysis, they agreed that the reason for all this was Zeng Zheng.

As long as you find a way to restrain Zeng Zheng, you can beat the Chinese team.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be such a rationale.

But looking further down, it's a bit out of tune.

The article does not analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Zeng Zheng's usual 442 from a professional perspective, nor does it analyze the characteristics of the Chinese team from the perspective of players.

On the contrary, some people who messed around came up with a few unofficial histories from nowhere, and after a lot of random discussions, they finally came up with evidence that Zengzheng's ancestor was a Korean immigrant.

In other words, Zeng Zheng was labeled a certain "Korean ethnicity".

And it is not the Korean ethnic group in China, nor the Korean ethnic group in North Korea.

This ridiculously ridiculous article is still sought after by many South Korean youths.

So hot that it spread throughout Asia and became the laughing stock of fans all over Asia.

In contrast, Xiaotian's "Asahi Shimbun" expresses it very pertinently.

In their view, the reason why the Chinese team is strong is entirely the joint result of their coaches, domestic leagues and youth training.

Zeng Zheng has someone to choose from, and the team has someone to use.

This is the key.

Comparing the differences in the youth training between China and Japan, it seems that the small days are doing better.

Popularity, there are high school leagues in Xiaotian;

In terms of importance, hundreds of thousands of young players go to Brazil as trainees for two and a half years every year.

It seems that Xiaotian is still ahead of China in terms of personnel training.

So where is the difference?

"Asahi Shimbun" summed up a few points.

One is the population base.

No matter how popular football is in the small days, China's population base is there.

In the last Olympic qualifiers, Zeng Zheng selected a Korean from Jilin;
In this Asian Youth Championship, Zeng Zheng brought another Uyghur from the frontier.

If Zeng Zheng has been looking at the whole country to select talents, the talent pool of Xiaotian is really no match.

The second is the reason for the coach.

No matter how famous Troussier is, he is also handsome;
No matter how unknown Zeng Zheng was when he debuted, he was still handsome.

It's not that handsome natives are better than handsome foreigners.

It's that the local coach knows his team better than the foreign coach.

Looking at the world's top teams, the effect of local coaches leading their own teams is definitely better than that of foreign coaches.

Beckenbauer was born in Munich, West Germany won the World Cup in 1990;

Pereira was born in Rio de Janeiro and led Brazil to the World Cup title in 1994;

Jacquet was born in Loire, led the French team won the World Cup in 1998.

Doesn't this explain anything?

If the two coaches have the same strength, then the team led by the local coach must be better than the team led by the foreign coach!
This is beyond doubt.

The third point is different, Xiaotian set his sights on Haigeng spring training.

Every early spring, all Division I teams go to the same place for group training.

Here, the teams strengthen exchanges with each other, and the players also gain technical growth in the collective.

And through a series of physical tests, set the minimum threshold for all practitioners participating in football.

From selection to training to communication.

In the league, everyone is an opponent and competes with each other;

But when it comes to the national team, everyone is teammates and needs to cooperate with each other.

This spring training model just solved the problem that the players of the two teams who played well in the league did not work together in the national team.

All in all, spring training has many benefits.

It looks like it's New Years Eve again.

Xiaotian Zhuxie is also preparing recently, looking for a place with a sunny day, no earthquakes or tsunamis, so that all players in the J-League can also experience the joy of spring training.

It is worth mentioning that some qualified football training bases in China are actively participating in the bidding competition because of the news of Rizhu Shoes.

Aren't you going to spring training?

Come to us!

Think of it as a trip!
At present, Dalian, Qingdao, Modu, and Guangdong are more likely to negotiate deals in coastal areas.

Deep self-reflection compared to the neighbors.

After winning the Asian Youth Championship, Zhuxie also published an article titled "Chinese Football Needs "Mountain-Building Movement"".

To say that we are not as good as us in the small days is completely modest.

In fact, our own youth training has only started in the past two years.

In this article, Zhu Xie proposes to focus on the strategic shift of youth football.

At the same time, the Jianglong team also shouted the slogan that next year's league will not aim to compete for the championship, aiming to train more young players in the league.

If other teams shout this slogan, everyone thinks it is false, but the Jianglong team, which won the second place in the league last season, is recruiting this winter and is fully equipped to win the championship next season.

Nowadays, the Jianglong team has such stars as George Weah and Ibrahimba who have played for AC Milan in terms of foreign aid.

There is also Deco, a strong Brazilian striker who has just won the A-A Golden Boot. The Jianglong team is fully capable of winning the league.

Even so, the Jianglong team still shouted the slogan of cultivating young talents.

The reason is also very simple.

That is, in this regard, the Jianglong team is indeed a beneficiary.

The economy of the Northeast is withered.

Let alone football, it is difficult to make money in other industries.

Lao Wang even sold the Dalian team for this reason, so in the three northeastern provinces, the Jianglong team basically has no competitors.

Coupled with the relegation of the Aodong team.

At present, the football youth seedlings from HLJ and Jilin provinces have all been recruited by the Jianglong team.

Not all football talents in Liaoning area go to Liaozu or Shide.

Don't forget, Zeng Zheng's youth training base in Huayuankou still recruits many people every year.

Sitting on more than 70% of the football talent pool in the three northeastern provinces, the Jianglong team is of course willing to tilt the policy in this regard!
The operation of the Jianglong team also provided a development direction for teams like the Bayi team and the Locomotive team that are about to withdraw from the stage of history.

It turns out that well-trained young talents can also make money!
It was also from this moment that the talent industry chain of China's youth training began to take shape.

After the Asian Youth Championship, Tang Pengju and Chen Jingang flew back to China with the team to participate in the celebration ceremony held by Zhuxie.

At the pick-up scene, a lady wearing sunglasses stretched her neck, looked left and right, but she couldn't find Zeng Zheng.

Finally seized the opportunity to grab Qu Bo's clothes from the crowd.

"Sorry, I don't accept interviews."

Qu Bo got stuck when he saw the face of the visitor clearly.

"Master, Mistress."

Miss Qian didn't talk nonsense with him either.

"Little Bo'er, where's your boss?"

"Zeng, boss Zeng, he, he didn't come back."

"Is he still in Tehran?"

"Yeah!" Qu Bo nodded quickly.

Hearing this, Miss Qian stomped her feet angrily.

The cold war has been going on for so long, no matter how big the resentment is, it turns into longing.

Before Zeng Zheng led the team to play games, he was busy, which is understandable.

Now that the Asian Cup and the Asian Youth Championship have won, you still haven't called me, what do you mean?
Is it really necessary to divide?

"What's the situation? Boss Zeng is in Iran"

"Ah! Mistress, don't think about it! Women in Iran are not allowed to go out on the street casually. Boss Zeng is with us every day and has never been anywhere."

"Then what's going on with him now? Why hasn't he come back after the game?"

Qu Bo scratched his head, "The world preliminaries are coming soon!"

"In a few days, the Iranian team will play a World Cup preliminaries, and Zeng Boss decided to stay there and watch the match before coming back."

Miss Qian also became anxious when she heard this.

"Damn guy! He won't let someone take a picture, and then send the video back to watch it?! Do you have to go to the scene by yourself?"

"Boss Zeng said that what can be seen on the video tape is too one-sided, and many problems can only be seen clearly at the scene."

"Hmph! Workaholic! He deserves to be single for the rest of his life!"

Seeing that Miss Qian was so angry, Qu Bo didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that the child was too scared to move, Miss Qian shook her hands.

"Okay, little Bo'er, I played well in this Asian Youth Championship."

"Next year A will play well."

"I'm fine, you go back!"

"Hey! Mistress, I'll go now! Call me anytime if you have anything to do."

Seeing that Ms. Qian let her go, Qu Bo hurriedly nodded and bowed to thank him and left. How could there be any shadow of the MVP of the Asian Youth Championship on him?
After returning to the team, Qu Bo, who was still in shock, let out a long sigh of relief.

Boss Zeng, Boss Zeng, just ask for blessings!
That night, Zeng Zheng received an email from Ms. Qian.

Seeing the letter from his girlfriend, Zeng Zheng was surprised, excited, and a little apprehensive.

These days I am busy with competitions, and I have indeed left my girlfriend in the cold.

Now that she suddenly contacted herself, is she going to ask her again?
With a nervous mood, Zeng Zheng clicked to read.

In the letter, there was no longing, nor was there any reprimand.

A few words are all about work.

Seeing the end, Zeng Zheng frowned.

What the fuck? !
That kid Deko wants to change his nationality to play in the World Cup?
