World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 64 Recommending Individuals
With the World Cup approaching, almost all domestic sports events have been sidelined, and everything has given the green light to the World Cup.

All parties in Zhuxie are also non-stop, whether it is logistics or diplomacy, they are doing their best to make the national team have a full mental state.

Sun Zhi, who was delayed for three more days in France, has bought a ticket to return home.

The "little pill" produced by the system is still very miraculous, this guy can walk on the ground in two days.

Fortunately, no sequelae were left, so Zeng Zheng sent Sun Zhi on the flight back to China.

Zeng Zheng himself stayed in France.

Anyway, Horton had to bring the national football team in a few days, so there was no need for him to bother.

According to the grouping regulations of this World Cup, the host France, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, and Spain are divided into the first team, and the Chinese team is divided into the third team.

In the top ten match, in addition to the Chinese team and South Korea qualifying first, Xiaozizi defeated Saudi Arabia in the playoffs and became the No.3 Asian team to qualify.

Saudi Arabia also won after two rounds with Oceania's No. [-] kangaroo.

So in this World Cup, there are a total of four Asian teams participating.

These four Asian teams are all divided into the third tier, which is also reasonable.

Just when the fans were complacent about qualifying for the World Cup, they found that their team was unfortunately assigned to Group C.

The opponents in the same group are France, Denmark and South Africa.

In the same group as the host, even a fool knows what the result will be.

Therefore, after several meetings, Zhuxie finally made a decision: don't try to be the first in the group, and strive to be the second in the group!
At the same time, the slogan "Score a goal, score a point, win a game" was released.

Perhaps in Zhu Xie's view, "scoring a goal" should be easier than "scoring a point".

However, this slogan is understandable.

It is also a good thing for domestic fans to see the gap between their own football and world powers on the World Cup stage.

Just as Sun Zhi was sent away, Zeng Zheng received another call from China.

This time it was Wang Junsheng.

"Chairman Wang, what is it that bothers you to call me personally?"

"Xiao Zeng, you can't say that. A person who can win the Toulon Cup can still be a small person? What do you think of other coaches who lost to you?"

When Zeng Zheng heard Wang Junsheng's laughter, he couldn't help curling his lips.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

There must be nothing wrong with this guy calling himself!

After the brief pleasantries, Wang Junsheng didn't talk nonsense with Zeng Zheng about the Toulon Cup, and went directly to the topic.

"Xiao Zeng, you are now the assistant coach of the national team. Did Lao Xu tell you?"

"Ah, I said it." Zeng Zheng put the phone between his ears and shoulders, cutting his nails boredly.

"Then did he tell you what to do?"

"Blind, deaf, dumb, isn't this my task?"

"Okay, you are quite sensible." Wang Junsheng nodded, "But don't say it so harshly, it makes our national team seem to have recruited a group of disabled people to lead the team."

After a few simple instructions to Zeng Zheng, Wang Junsheng finally said the purpose of making the call, "Xiao Zeng, Jianlibao won the Toulon Cup this time, which is very gratifying and congratulatory."

"You are their coach, and you are familiar with them. How about recommending some players to the national team that you like?"

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng frowned and almost cut his nails.

"Chairman Wang, why are you telling me about this? Don't your bamboo shoes have your own selection criteria?"

"You bamboo shoes, you bamboo shoes, don't forget that you are also a member of the bamboo shoes!" Wang Junsheng criticized Zeng Zheng with a beard and a stare, and then he said patiently:

"Jianlibao won the Toulon Cup this time, which greatly exceeded our expectations."

"Besides Zhang Xiaorui who won the best player, let's see if there is another player who plays well. We can arrange for him to join the team as appropriate."

"After all, they are all the talents of the future!"

"Just like Ronaldo in 94, let's talk about the success or failure of the World Cup this time, and let the young people gain more knowledge!"

Wang Junsheng said it nicely, but Zeng Zheng analyzed the whole story immediately.

When Jianlibao did not graduate, six players returned to the country successively, namely Li Tie, Zhang Xiaorui, Li Jinyu, Hao Wei, Li Weifeng and Sui Dongliang (there are no Li Weifeng and Hao Wei among the Four Little Swans).

It's just the World Cup preliminaries, and it's reasonable to find a few young players to join the team.

But when the World Cup is really going to be played, this 22-man roster has become a place where all international footballers can't get in.

Active international players must be considered, old international players must be considered, and young international players must also be considered.

Coupled with the advancement of multi-party relationships, there should be only one spot left for the Jianlibao Youth Team.

With this quota, Zhang Xiaorui, who gave Jianlibao the most limelight, is also reasonable.

But this time the Toulon Cup, Jianlibao unexpectedly won the championship beyond the expectations of fans all over the world.

Now not only domestic public opinion is exploding, but also many foreign media and clubs know about this young Far East team.

Zhu Xie couldn't bear the pressure, and it should be squeezed out another spot for Jianlibao like squeezing toothpaste.

But who to choose, the problem finally fell on oneself.

After pondering the whole story, Zeng Zheng immediately shook his head.

He didn't want to go into the muddy waters.

"During the world preliminaries before, didn't you already pick a few people to come back to Qin Wang? Can't you go and pick from there?"

"Hey! Four little swans and six little swans are in the past tense. We must not give other players a chance? Isn't the Toulon Cup just ended? Which one is the best, just say it! Give your Uncle Wang a face."

In order to get Zeng Zheng to speak, Wang Junsheng played the emotional card shamelessly.

Good guy!
From 29 people to 6 people, the players will not have much to say;
But from 6 people to 2 people, who to choose and who not to choose, you insist on making me a scapegoat!
According to Zeng Zheng's idea, he wished to bring half of Jianlibao's players to the field, so that it would be easier for him to lead the team.

But of course this is unrealistic.

At least the 98 session was unrealistic!
Think before and after.

Since Wang Junsheng called him, there must be Xu Fang's intentions behind it.

In addition, Wang Junsheng said a lot of good things to himself before, Zeng Zheng sighed.

Ugh!
In any case, let's sell their two vice-chairmen a face.

In the future, after Yuan feeds the people, they will have to rely on them to preside over the bamboo shoes!
After pondering for a while, Zeng Zheng said slowly, "Take Li Tie."

"What?" Wang Junsheng, who had been waiting for a long time, thought he had an auditory hallucination.

"I said take Li Tie."

"Li Tie?" Wang Junsheng frowned and hesitated.

"Xiao Zeng, Li Tie is a good kid, but what about his influence in China?"

The "replacement of Li Tie" in the Battle of Qatar is still fresh in the memory of domestic fans.

Perhaps for some real fans, this is not a problem, and they feel that the problem is caused by Qi Mi.

But for some new fans and people who are not fans at all, Li Tie must be more or less a problem.

Otherwise, why don't you call for someone else to replace you?
Typical guilt theory.

"Uncle Wang, you also said that Li Tie played well."

Zeng Zheng grinned, and Wang Junsheng was not used to calling him "Uncle Wang".

"Since he played well, what do you care about his domestic influence?"

"Li Tie not only played well, but his position is very important to the team."

"If you play well, you will definitely be the backbone of the national football team in the next 20 years."

"And his physical indicators are not worse than those of the old international players. He is a bit stupid, but he is very obedient."

"Bringing him to the World Cup will do no harm."

"I am a coach, and I recommend players who are suitable for the team."

"As for the public impact, I don't think about it."

"Anyway, I've finished recommending it. Whether you wear it or not depends on whether your bamboo shoes have the courage!"

After hearing this, Wang Junsheng frowned into the word "Chuan", and said hesitantly for a while: "Well, that's fine, let's think about it comprehensively."

After that, he hung up the phone.
