World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 19

"Good afternoon, audience friends, and welcome to the final round of World Cup qualifiers."

"The Chinese team is playing against Kuwait at home."

"As long as they win this game, the Chinese team will qualify for the World Cup in France."

Sun Zhengping's familiar voice came from the TV.

Lao Rong's family was sitting in front of the TV, waiting for the Chinese team to kick off.

For this competition, Lao Rong specially took half a day off for his son, which made Xiao Rong's other classmates envious.

"Dad, do you think we can win this game?"

"Xiao Rong, don't you like Coach Zeng the most? Why do you lack confidence now?"

"It's not that I lack confidence in Coach Zeng, but that Coach Zeng used two substitute players to start the game. I'm afraid they don't have enough understanding with their teammates and can't play their due strength!"

Xiaorong is young, but mature and experienced than many adults, seeing farther.

In fact, there are indeed many media and fans who look down on Zeng Zheng's starting arrangement.

However, under the influence of the general environment, these people chose to forbear.

Once the Chinese team loses or fails to win the game, these people will spring up like mushrooms after rain, completely occupying the public opinion market.

Zeng Zheng was standing on the sidelines under such pressure, directing in real time.

"He NND, shoot? Why don't you shoot when you're already there? It's not like I didn't give you the right to fire!"

"Don't just watch if you lose the ball, grab it back for me immediately!"

"Side, side, side! Side!!! Side!!! Are you fucking blind can't you see?"

Just 2 minutes into the game, the national team was scolded bloody by Zeng Zheng on the right.

Sun Jihai, Zhang Xiaorui, and Gao Feng on this line were all running with their heads sullen, for fear that they would face Zeng Zheng's scolding if they stopped.

But they obviously thought too much.

Can Zeng Zheng's "spiritual pollution" be avoided especially by running?

"Coach Xiao Zeng's command style is so wild." Gu Mingchang explained with a smile.

Jin Chi and the two watched from the side with their eyebrows raised.

Good guy, you really don't leave any sympathy to the team members!
"Coach Zeng, you'd better save your time, players from such a distance can't hear you."

After watching for a while, Jin Zhiyang finally couldn't help but stepped forward to remind him.

"And you are so excited, isn't that adding pressure to the players?"

"Stress? What pressure? Who feels pressure?"

Zeng Zheng said without looking back, "A player who even the head coach thinks he is under pressure, so fucking replace him as soon as possible!"

Jin Zhiyang:
In this top ten match, Kuwait has the lowest chance of qualifying, but it does not mean that they have no chance at all.

Since the last game in Group B did not start at the same time, the last game in the UAE was poor, and there were very few fans who came to watch the game.

At the request of the two home teams, the AFC arranged for today's game to start at the same time.

While ensuring fairness and justice, it also allows the two stadiums hosting the competition to make a lot of money.

After the opening game, the Chinese team showed a strong determination to win, and the players were full of energy.

But Kuwait is not to be outdone.

Taking advantage of every opportunity to switch between offense and defense, drive the ball vigorously towards the open area of ​​the Chinese team's half.

Howard, who broke through the national football goal in the last duel, rushed forward like the wind.

Earn one point for one point, earn two points for two points.

If it weren't for Li Tie's deadly stuck position, the opponent might really be able to enter the Chinese team's penalty area after getting the ball.

Twice in a row, Li Tie leaned on the opponent and split the ball with his head to clear the siege.

After observing Kuwait's counterattack tactics, Zeng Zheng didn't take it seriously.

It is not difficult to crack a long pass of this intensity and a quick counterattack. As long as the defenders fighting for the landing point are focused and handle it cleanly, it is generally fine.

The first task at this stage is to advance him a goal!
Let's wear them once before talking!
Finally, the national team ushered in the first shot since the start of the game.

Sun Jihai, who was plugged in, suddenly slanted his foot 20 meters before the bottom line on the right. Gao Feng used his speed to rush into this open space, and volleyed directly after receiving the ball.

Because the angle was too small, and there was an opponent following him, the ball was finally shot on the side net.

Seeing the Kuwait net shaking, many fans who had a bad angle thought the goal had been scored, and immediately stood up and cheered.

Under the chain reaction, some other fans who didn't see it clearly also shouted.

It wasn't until the Kuwaiti goalkeeper picked up the ball outside the goal and placed it on the small penalty area line that the fans realized that the goal was missed.

Even so, the fans still shouted with this excitement.

"Team China, bang bang bang! Come on, bang bang bang!"

Seeing that the goal was missed, the ten assistant coaches on the side of the court also looked regretful.

The two of Jin Chi even shook their heads and looked up, as if passing by a million generals.

Zeng Zheng gave simple encouragement to Sun Gao to cooperate with each other this time.

Because this is a temporary move by the player through on-the-spot changes while the team is implementing his established tactics.

According to his arrangement, Sun Jihai would either play the ball by himself, or pass the ball to Zhang Xiaorui for him to play.

Finally, Su Maozhen was found with a high-altitude ball, and he completed the final blow.

But there are ever-changing changes on the court, and it is impossible for the players to always follow the routine arranged by Zeng Zheng, that would be too rigid.

So every time this kind of opportunity came up and was seized by the players, Zeng Zheng would clap his hands and shout that he played well.

Of course, there is no need to use thousands of miles of sound transmission for this sentence.

Five minutes later, Su Maozhen's header finally showed its power.

Zhang Xiaorui passed two people in a row in front of the opponent's penalty area, and suddenly stopped the ball under his feet.

Before the Kuwaiti players could react, Zhang Xiaorui lightly raised his toes and picked the ball behind the two Kuwaiti players.

Su Maozhen, who rushed up obliquely, leaped high in Kuwait's restricted area, and slammed his forehead down hard.

Bang!
The ball hit the Kuwaiti goalkeeper's chest.

The opponent's goalkeeper subconsciously folded his hands and held the ball tightly in his arms.

After he fell to the ground, he realized that there was an extra ball in his chest.

Eh?When did you come here?
Such a majestic aura of Mount Tai is so upright.

Even Zeng Zheng on the sidelines couldn't help shaking his hands.

The ball was hit, but it was just a little bit of luck.

"It's okay, keep doing it, one more!"

When the team members ran past, Zeng Zheng clapped his hands and cheered.

As the game progressed, neither side succeeded in attacking.

However, the mentality of the team members gradually calmed down. According to Zeng Zheng's pre-match arrangements and instructions, they attacked step by step, and indeed created murderous intentions many times.

In the 19th minute, Li Ming took a free kick.

General Fan in the penalty area earned the first point, jumped high and then shook his head to attack the goal. The ball brushed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline;
In the 23rd minute, Wu Chengying, who had been silent on the left, suddenly dribbled the ball in at high speed.

He who had been passing the ball before took this opportunity to catch his opponent by surprise. In the camera, he was the only one with the ball forward.

It's a pity that the quality of the final pass was slightly off. Gao Feng, who followed up to the back point, saw that the pass was too big, so he ran out of the penalty area in a circle, picked up the ball in front of the other sideline, and reorganized the attack .

Half a minute later, Ma Mingyu received a ball from Zhang Xiaorui, and suddenly kicked and shot at the top of the penalty area.

The ball was bravely resolved by the Kuwaiti goalkeeper.

"Brother Ma, this ball is empty." Zhang Xiaorui pointed at Su Maozhen in the penalty area.

That means, Boss Zeng asked us to fight around him with him as the center, why did you shoot so hastily?
Ma Mingyu ignored Zhang Xiaorui's reminder and just spat.

In the Asian Cup last year, his tomahawk shot 40 meters away, but even the South Korean commentator was shocked.

What do you know, a kid who hasn't officially graduated yet?
What qualifications do you have to point fingers at me?
Seeing Ma Mingyu's attitude, Zhang Xiaorui also lost his temper.

In the next two consecutive goals, Zhang Xiaorui lost the ball because Zhang Xiaorui stuck to the ball for too long.

When he was squeezed on the sidelines by two opponents for the third time, Zeng Zheng watched from behind the sideline.

At such a close distance, there is no need to transmit voices thousands of miles away, and he just spouts at his beloved disciple.

"Zhang Xiaorui, are you out of your mind?"

"Return the TM belt?"

"What's the matter with you taking the ball home baby?"

"No matter how f*cking the ball is lost, you can GUN me down and sit down as soon as possible!"

"What do you think I have to do with you?"

Seeing Zeng Zheng's ferocious face so close at hand, Zhang Xiaorui not only didn't panic, but had a flash of inspiration in Zeng Zheng's scolding.

I saw him leaning against an opponent behind him, and then stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled it back.

While turning around, the ball slipped through the opponent's wicket.

A nice man ball points too!

Even Sun Zhengping couldn't help admiring this scene.

But without saying a word of admiration, Zhang Xiaorui, who dribbled forward, tensed the instep of his left foot and flicked forward. The ball rubbed against his outer instep and flew towards the penalty area in Kuwait.

Facing the sudden cross from the outside instep, the Kuwaiti goalkeeper who was about to attack hurriedly retreated.

But before he retreated to the goal, Su Maozhen's head was already slammed into the center of the ball.

boom!
The powerful header flew hard towards Kuwait's gate.
