World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 43 The Harsh Zeng Zheng

In 1989, the Berlin Wall came down and Germany was unified.

In 1995, with the advancement of European integration, the Bosman Act came into being.

The introduction of a large number of stars and the policy of opening to the outside world have brought German football into a peculiar "development" moment.

It seems that the Bundesliga is thriving, but in fact Germany's local resources are beginning to fail.

Coupled with the frustration of the economy, this has also led to a trough in German football.

During this period, German football went from bad to worse, the reserve force was in short supply, and the world rankings also fell back year after year.

In such a big environment, Jianlibao beat Germany 1-0 in the first game. In fact, there are also historical factors for a lot of reasons.

So after Jianlibao won, Portugal, the opponent in the second round, still didn't take this team from the Far East seriously.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, No. 17 Delphine tested Li Jian's defensive quality with a long shot from 30 meters away.

Although Li Jian is not tall, he is very alert.

After retreating to the goal line, raise your hands high and drop the racket in front of you.

Then before the opposing striker ran forward, he quickly held the ball in his arms and threw it to his teammates on the wing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jianlibao's overall formation pressed forward and launched a quick counterattack.

"Xiao Zeng, you told me so many times that the German team is weak, so I believed it. But Portugal is not a weak team, is it? Let's keep a tie and win this game!"

If you didn't even kick, how could you keep it flat?

When Zeng Zheng heard this, he became angry.

There is simply no aggressiveness at all!
This is not a real World Cup group match, so it needs to be dealt with carefully.

A Toulon Cup that tests the strength of the team, why are you playing so conservatively?

Doesn't that make your opponent look down on you!
After defeating the German team in the first game, the audience on the sidelines of the second game increased significantly.

In addition to second-hand dealers like Nancy, there are still real scouts from a certain club.

Take this opportunity to leave a good impression on the opponent, and sell the players in the past one or two years, and you can sell them at a good price.

So Zeng Zheng's main theme for this game is to strive for victory with all his strength and play with his own demeanor!
Zeng Zheng has been leading this team for almost five years, the team is full of buffs, and they have a good understanding with each other.

In the 9th minute, full-back Tao Wei accurately found Li Jinyu in the penalty area with a long diagonal pass.

Facing the ball coming from diagonally behind, rushing Li Jinyu shot himself out like a cannonball.

With a bang, a diving dive topped the ball into the goal of the Portuguese team.

After climbing up, Li Jinyu raised his arms and shouted, and ran to the sidelines screaming.

"Boss Zeng, Boss Zeng, I scored a goal, I scored a goal! Take a look, is there any female fans leaving me a message?"

Li Jinyu jumped to the top with a flash of inspiration, which caught the eyes of many scouts.

Most of these scouts came to see Portugal.

But now, they started whispering to each other, asking who the teenager in the No. 9 Chinese jersey was.

Seeing Li Jinyu's goal, Zeng Zheng nodded.

"Don't be proud, give me a solid fight, continue!!!"

With a wave of Zeng Zheng's hand, the players rushed to the Portuguese half again.

One minute later, Ma Yongkang sent a diagonal pass from the right.

Zhang Yonghai, who was running, was supposed to catch the ball, but he lifted his feet and let the ball slip away from his legs.

At the same time, Zhang Ran, who received the ball, took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball onto Zhang Yonghai's advancing route.

This operation instantly prevented the four Portuguese defenders from finding North.

After receiving the ball, Zhang Yonghai took the opportunity to make a diagonal pass to the middle. Zhang Xiaorui took the ball and turned around, and shot with his left heel at the top of the penalty area in Portugal.

The Portuguese goalkeeper struggled to the ground and blocked the ball in front of the goal line.

But Jianlibao's attack is not over yet.

When the ball was saved, Li Jinyu was the first to rush forward again.

But this time, because the shooting angle is too small.

Li Jinyu's follow-up shot directly hit the goalkeeper's arms.

"Fuck, Dayu, what are you thinking about? Forgot how I taught you?!"

Seeing the ball hit the opponent's goalkeeper directly on the chest, Zeng Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly yelled.

"Shots from tight angles either hit the top of the near post or push into the far corner."

"Let me watch you shoot like this next time, I will take your legs off!"

Li Jinyu didn't dare to lift his head when the follow-up shot failed, and just ran past Zeng Zheng.

"Xiao Zeng, seeing that Jianlibao has returned to China, I have been holding back some words in my heart."

Li Hui on the side persuaded, "Don't you think that sometimes you are too harsh on these children?"

"Look at the ball just now, Dayu has already surpassed most of the players by running up to grab it in the first time."

"In such a tense situation, there are defenders beside me, so if the kick is slightly crooked, it is still being cleaned up."

Li Hui is kind.

But Zeng Zheng didn't intend to accept this favor.

"Coach Li, what part do you mean by surpassing most players? Is it A A or A B, or the Portuguese players on the opposite side? Or those players from Germany, Brazil, Argentina, and England?"

"Xiao Zeng, you... aren't you just talking about it? Anyway, Dayu is only 21 years old this year, and he is still a child"

"Yes, Coach Li, as you know, he is already 21, and his foot shape is not fixed when he shoots. If I don't scold him like that, should I let him kick his feet crookedly for the rest of his life?"

"Hi, you are his coach, I can't say no to you!"

Li Hui shook his head and said no more.

Everyone has his strong and weak points.

In the past few years, Zeng Zheng has seen clearly what Jianlibao's students are good at.

It's not realistic to develop everyone into a hexagonal fighter like Gullit.

But suddenly their specialties made them achieve the ultimate in a certain field, and Zeng Zheng still had a lot of experience.

Like Lee Jin Woo.

This guy is not fast, his body is not strong, and his jumping is not high. These are all inherent disadvantages.

But relying on his miraculous running position, he can always appear in the most critical places.

On this basis, what Zeng Zheng has to do is to improve Li Jinyu's shooting skills as much as possible and cultivate his ability to touch the ball with one foot.

In offense, he can still fail to hit the opponent, jump or run the opponent.

But as long as there is an opportunity similar to the one just now, Zeng Zheng's requirement for him is almost 100% goals!
Looking at all Jianlibao, everyone has a place where Zeng Zheng believes that there should never be "mistakes".

For example, Zhang Xiaorui's ball control, Li Tie's running, Zhang Ran's overall view, Sun Zhihe's assault, Li Weifeng's header and so on.

Anyone who "failed" at what they are best at will only get scolded by Zeng Zheng.

Under Zeng Zheng's almost harsh requirements, Jianlibao's second goal appeared soon.

In the 34th minute, Li Weifeng headed the ball away from Portugal's cross from the right. Li Jinyu leaned on his opponent and successfully selected the ball.

Although the opponent's back tackle was suspected of fouling, Ma Yongkang still distributed the ball to the wing before falling to the ground.

Based on the principle of favorable offense, the referee did not blow.

Tao Wei, who followed from the left, made a long pass and accurately found Zhang Xiaorui who rushed to the right side of the opponent's penalty area.

Faced with the high-altitude ball diagonal pass from behind his teammate, Zhang Xiaorui simply stretched out his right leg and stopped the rapidly falling ball in front of him.

This scene was never seen in Zeng Zheng's previous life!

"Don't hesitate, do it yourself!!!"

The moment Zhang Xiaorui stopped the ball, Zeng Zheng used thousands of miles of sound transmission.

After receiving Zeng Zheng's instruction, Zhang Xiaorui took a step forward directly and pushed towards the opponent's small penalty area.

As the camera moves, four defenders have been recovered from the penalty area in Portugal at this time, but none of Jianlibao got in in time.

If it wasn't for Zeng Zheng's reminder, Zhang Xiaorui would have already been besieged by five people.

But now, Zhang Xiaorui, who is pressing towards the opponent's goal alone, only needs to deal with the opponent's central defender who has been lagging behind and the goalkeeper guarding the near corner.

After making two consecutive laps above the ball, Carvalho has been forced back to the corner of the small penalty area by Zhang Xiaorui.

Facing the opponent's gate that was close at hand, Zhang Xiaorui's right foot tensed and the instep twitched hard.

The Portuguese goalkeeper raised his left arm subconsciously, but it was still a step too late.

The ball brushed the post and went straight into the top net from the near corner.

Swish!
2 is better than 0!
