World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 324 Three Indispensable People
Toast Mingyue, and Yingying became three people.

Facing the bright moon in West Asia, Zeng Zheng was wearing a pair of beach shorts, lying on a beach chair, sipping his drink leisurely.

Zeng Zheng fulfilled his promise.

After the game, I took the team members to have a good rest in Doha for a day.

The score fell behind for a long time, the opponent's center post popped out of danger, Ou Chuliang miraculously resolved the single-handedly, and the players flew to block the eye-catching time and time again.
Scenes of passive and thrilling shots were made into edited videos after the game, and were broadcast by major TV stations in rotation.

Until the final stage of the game, Ou Chuliang still made a few dives to rescue.

Such a thrilling game made almost every fan hold their breath.

Fortunately, the score was tied in the end!
In all fairness, the strength of the Qatar team did not show extraordinary strength.

The hot weather in Doha is the biggest key to the performance of the Chinese team.

But Zeng Zheng's determination and courage are also unique.

For this point, he even gave up his briefs in front of the media.

Judging from the results, the victory of the draw is not only because it helped the Chinese team get a valuable point, but also because it made Qatar lose the opportunity to take all three points, and it was because the Iranian team was ahead of the opponent in the indirect confrontation.

Now looking back at Li Weifeng's header at the last moment, it is really precious!

If you don't drink and go back when you meet, the peach blossoms at the mouth of the cave will also laugh at people.

The evening wind from West Asia blew by, making the joyous people at the seaside gain a short-term comfort.

After three rounds in Group A of the Top Ten, the Chinese team topped the list with two wins and one draw.

Then came Iran, which had one game less and won both games, then Qatar, which had 2 draws, Bahrain, which had one game less and 1 tie, and Thailand, which had 0 points in one game less.

From the point of view of points, the Chinese and Iranian teams have left the other three teams far behind, just as the media expected.

If the two teams are a little careless, they may be thrown away by their competitors.

The difference between the first group and the second group is quite large.

The first in the group can directly take the through train to Japan and South Korea, and the second in the group will not only compete with the second in group B, but also have two rounds of battles with teams from other continents.

Playing 4 more games to go to the World Cup, this result is far worse than directly solving the problem in the top ten games.

This trip to West Asia can be said to be perfect.

With one win and one tie, Zeng Zheng completed the away mission scheduled before the game ahead of schedule.

Next, as long as two victories are won at home, the Chinese team's points can reach 15 points, which can completely confirm the top two seats in the group.

Although the night in Shenyang in early September was already chilly, when the Chinese team returned to Shenyang from Doha and walked out of Taoxian Airport, they were warmly welcomed by hundreds of Shenyang fans.

The return from the Western Expedition this time can be called a "triumph".

Judging from the schedule, the most difficult game for the Chinese team is to go to Tehran to challenge the Iranian team.

But it was already October.

The weather in West Asia is far from being as hot as it is now, so even if they face the Devil's home court in Iran, the Chinese team will not be tested by the high temperature like this time.

Of course, that was also the last game of the top ten match of the Chinese team.

Judging from the tactics arranged by Zeng Zheng, if he really locked in the first place in the group two rounds in advance, it would be okay to take the China Youth Team to that game.

This is also what the Iranian team is worried about.

In order to welcome the triumphant return of the Chinese team, the Shencheng police surrounded the short 20-meter distance between the exit of the airport terminal building and the gate of the Chinese team's special car half an hour in advance.

A platoon of armed police soldiers who specially came to "reinforce" stood in two rows, and opened a special passage for the Chinese team from the staff entry entrance-stairs-exit of the terminal building, so that the international players can board without hindrance. Get on the special car.

Fans are undoubtedly the happiest group.

Going to the airport to welcome hundreds of fans beat gongs and drums, and shouted the slogan "China must win"
The slogan played by a female fan from Fushun is emotional: "Brothers, let our hearts shed tears of excitement again."

Before the plane landed, the fans sang "Ode to the Motherland" in unison.

When the international players showed their faces one by one, they sang "Sunset and Xishan Red Xiafei, soldiers shoot and return to camp"

Compared with the elated fans, the international players after a long trip looked quite tired.

Faced with the enthusiasm of the fans, the international players tried their best to raise their spirits and waved to the fans and the crowd.

"Yang Chen, great job!"

"Big head, it's pretty good!"

"Zhang Yuxie, I love you!"

Fans shouted to their beloved stars and sent blessings in a unique way.

Facing the enthusiastic Northeast fans, General Fan and Ou Chuliang didn't go far, and their hands were stuffed with small gifts.

Zeng Zheng was wearing beach shorts, slippers and a light blue shirt that he had in Doha.

When he wore sunglasses and walked out with Jin Chi for a few games, all the fans were in a commotion.

"Coach Zeng, Coach Zeng!"

"Coach Zeng, look here!"

The fans scrambled to hold up the cameras, and the flashes clicked and clicked.

Facing so many crazy fans, Zeng Zheng did not forget to make a "V" gesture jokingly.

"Look, the two coaches, the fans are still very reasonable."

The two of Jin Chi looked at each other, and Chi Shangbin sighed, "If Weifeng hadn't scored a goal against Qatar, these fans would have changed their slogan today."

As he spoke, Chi Shangbin glanced at the "True Hero" banner that Zeng Zheng had just accepted, and shook his head.

He felt that he was really OUT.

I have no idea what the fans are thinking.

"There's really nothing incomprehensible about it."

"Although the fans are not as professional as us, it's not that they don't understand football."

"Our trip to West Asia has achieved the greatest results, and of course they will be happy from the bottom of their hearts."

Biggest result?
Chi Shangbin frowned, "Isn't the biggest result our victory in both battles?"

"of course not."

Zeng Zheng shook his head and explained briefly:
"Winning away games against Bahrain and Qatar, I can easily do that."

"But is it a victory to get six points against those two teams?"

"Two coaches, don't forget, our opponent in the next game is Iran!"

"Let's assume now that if this trip to West Asia is to get 6 points, we will bring back a group of wounded and suspended main players."

"When the next game is against Iran at home, how can we play?"

"Compare it to now."

"Although we only scored 4 points, we did not lose a game and are still at the top of the standings."

"In terms of injuries, only Yang Pu is more serious and needs to rest for some time. Other players such as Zhao Junzhe, Xu Yunlong, and Qu Bo can barely play if they continue to play."

"In terms of red and yellow cards, no one has accumulated suspensions."

"I made a simple count."

"Ten people in our team, including Li Tie, Yang Chen, Li Jinyu, Zhang Xiaorui, Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe, Shensi, Qi Hong, Fan Dajiang, and Li Weifeng, have yellow cards."

"But so what?"

"Even if these 10 players get cards in the next game and lead to suspension, it will also pass the most important game against Iran."

"If we can win the next game, what if I bring 18 rookies to Bangkok?"

"So, the current result is the best result."

"If you still don't understand, look at the smiles on the faces of these fans."

"Whether they are from the bottom of their hearts, or whether they were invited by the organizers to cheat, you can tell at a glance."

After listening to the late guest, he stopped talking.

He has also learned a lot from Zeng Zheng in the past two years.

But after all, I am getting older, and many times my brain can't turn around.

Coupled with the fans of the authorities.

Zhuxie holds meetings every day, and in such an important game as the top ten, even the assistant coach is Alexander.

If there is no Zeng Zheng.

These local coaches will think that the three-pointer they get is far more important than the next game that is not played.

This is also a kind of inertial thinking of coaches from that era.

After Zeng Zheng's explanation.

Chi Shangbin briefly compared the two results.

I also agree with what Zeng Zheng said.

"Old Chi, Xiao Zeng's goal is actually very simple."

Jin Zhiyang's trip to West Asia has enlightened him a lot.

"Didn't I say it earlier?!"

"Our opponent in this top ten match is the Iranian team!"

"As long as we can win the Iranian team, we will win!"

"Isn't all the arrangements that Xiao Zeng made for playing against Iran in Wulihe?"

"If you think about it this way, you can understand what he did before."

"Think about the game against Bahrain. It was almost the end of the game. Why did Xiao Zeng let him get a card?"

Chi Shangbin suddenly realized after listening.

After accumulating yellow cards for a game suspension, Wu Chengying was able to revive with full blood when facing the Iranian team.

There are substitutes at other positions.

Even after playing against Iran, everyone received cards and there was a substantial reduction in staff. Wu Chengying, who has 0 cards on the left back, can still last until the return of other main players.

At the entrance of the Green Island Hotel, Zeng Zheng got out of the car first and stood in front of the reporters and fans, buying time for the players to "escape".

"The players are exhausted."

"Let them rest."

"Ask me if you have any questions."

Facing the camera, Zeng Zheng smiled.

Seeing the tiredness on the faces of the international footballers, the reporters were all interested and stretched out their microphones to Zeng Zheng.

"Coach Zeng, three top ten games have passed, which player do you think is the most important in the team?"

After asking, the reporter extended three fingers and added, "Well, if you were asked to choose the top three, how would you choose?"

Zeng Zheng smiled slightly, "That's a good question."

"Then let me answer you from three angles."

After speaking, Zeng Zheng snapped off the first finger.

"After the game against Qatar, the opponent's coach Haji said such a sentence at the press conference."

Speaking of this, Zeng Zheng imitated the expression of the opposing head coach and widened his eyes: "Li from the Chinese team is really scary!"

Li is not Li Weifeng, nor Li Jinyu, but Li Tie.

Because Haji stretched out six fingers at that time, the number 6 was on Li Tie's back.

Li Tie is one of the few players on the Chinese team who has played all three games in a row.

His abundant physical fitness is also the key to Zeng Politician's battle against the West Asian team.

No matter what the formation is, whether it is a single midfielder or a double midfielder, Li Tie can perfectly complete the tasks he assigns.

Over the years, Zeng Zheng has never worried about Li Tie's position in the game.

After the game against the card team, Haji said almost to everyone, "Li Tie of the Chinese team is terrible."

This frustrated man reflected Li Tie's role in the team in an unabashed way.

"In my words, Li Tie is the Veron of the Chinese team."

"Of course, in the game you rarely see him pass the ball well."

"But it's not because of his poor passing ability, but because there are more players on the team who pass the ball better than him. In many cases, he is not needed to be the player."

"However, you can also look at this from his clearances, inverted kicks and side kicks. In fact, in these three types of passes, he has basically never made a mistake."

"For a player in his position, that's enough!"

After talking about Li Tie, Zeng Zheng snapped off his second finger.

"After talking about the opponent's opinion, let's talk about the fans' opinion."

"A lot of fans watch the game, and what they see is victory or goals!"

"After these three games, we scored a total of 8 goals, of which Zhang Yuxie scored two, Xie Hui scored two, Yang Chen, Su Maozhen, Qu Bo and Li Weifeng each scored one."

"But Yang Chen still has two assists!"

"So from the perspective of making total goals, Yang Chen is the key to scoring in the team."

"Plus Yang Chen's tall and handsome image, I guess it's hard for a female reporter like you to resist his charm, right?"

Hearing Zeng Zheng's answer, the female reporter lowered her head shyly.

"third."

Zeng Zheng pressed the third finger down.

"Let me see who is the most indispensable in our team."

"Of course it's goalkeeper Ou Chuliang."

"Ou Chuliang is 31 this year, which is the golden age of a goalkeeper."

"He is now at the peak of all conditions, and he is the player with the most experience in the competition."

"As the saying goes, a good goalkeeper is worth half the team."

"Ou Chuliang deserves half of the credit for achieving such results in the first three games!"

"what do y'all think?"

After hearing Zeng Zheng's answer, everyone present couldn't help but nodded.

Although the captain, General Fan, Qatar's scoring hero Li Weifeng, the biggest star Zhang Xiaorui, and the most handsome Zhang Yuxie in the team are all the main players.

But Zeng Zheng's answer was well-founded, and he selected these three players from the perspectives of opponents, fans and himself.

After recording all this, many reporters even came up with the title of tomorrow's report, calling it "China's Three Musketeers Megatron West Asia"!
"Coach Zeng, hello!"

After Zeng Zheng's rhetorical question, the reporter who was the first to respond immediately raised the microphone and asked the second question.

"Excuse me, Coach Zeng, what are your plans for the next game against Iran?"

"Arrangement? What else is there to arrange?"

"That's the most important focus of our top ten competition!"

Zeng Zheng laughed out loud when he heard this, "Fuck you to death and it's over!"
