World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 86

"Coach Zeng, how do you plan to play the China-Africa battle?"

"Will the absence of Coach Zeng, General Fan and Li Tie cause irreparable results to the game?"

"Coach Zeng, you once again temporarily took over the coach of the national team. Do you have the confidence to bring the team to the top [-]?"

As soon as Zeng Zheng appeared at the press conference, the spotlight kept flickering on his face.

At this moment, Zeng Zheng is like an international star.

I'm afraid Schwarzenegger is here, and Zeng Zheng has not "shone".

Don't look at the announcement of the coach dismissing get out of class in South Korea earlier.

But the Chinese team played first after all.

Zeng Zheng stole the "changing coaches" limelight.

No matter how hard South Korea "works" on this point, it will not help.

Due to General Fan's suspension, Xu Hong attended the press conference with Zeng Zheng.

Two people, one wearing pomade, wearing sunglasses, and wearing a suit and leather shoes;

One was wearing a player jersey, three or seven minutes off, and loafers.

At first glance, they look like brothers.

But everyone at the scene knows.

Zeng Zheng is the youngest national team coach in World Cup history.

Regardless of the results of the Chinese team in this World Cup.

The Chinese team has already left a strong stroke in this World Cup.

But it was not Horton who wrote this, nor the national team.

It was Zeng Zheng.

Use such a young coach to coach the national team?
Still playing in the World Cup?
What about kidding?
Brazil dare?

Will Italy dare?
Will the German team dare?
Argentina dare?
The national teams that are easy to enter the World Cup are all rushing to rank and compete for the championship;

The national teams that have worked hard to enter the World Cup are desperately trying to get out of the group;

The national teams that entered the World Cup for the first time tried to show themselves in these three games.

Teams at any stage dare not "gamble" with such a young coach.

28 years old is the golden age of football players.

The football players of this age are all playing on the field. Who has the time to coach the team?

Therefore, it is almost difficult for anyone to break the record set by Zeng Zheng.

From this point of view, Zeng Zheng is actually at the same level as Fontaine and Pele.

In the face of reporters' questions, Zeng Zheng talked eloquently.

"How to fight? You can fight as you want."

"The Chinese team is capable, and reaching the World Cup is not our limit!"

"In this game, we will use our strengths to the end!"

"The 22 players all have their own strengths and abilities. In my opinion, there is no absolute main force."

"There is also the advantage of starting with a substitute, that is, the opponent will not know anything about us."

"The best lineup is not that all the starters are healthy and have no cards, but that after matching, they can perfectly restrain the opponent."

"I don't want to say more about the team's results."

"What I want to say is that when it comes to the World Cup, every team is a victory and a winner!"

"Of course, I have requirements and goals for myself and my team."

"As far as I am concerned, as long as the team plays normally today, at least we will not end up as the deputy squad leader."

"Even, it is possible to create one or two historical records in Chinese football."

Zeng Zheng's answer was quite satisfactory.

Mature and old at the same time, without losing the domineering youth.

The domestic reporters at the scene were very supportive of Zeng Zheng.

After all, without Zeng Zheng, they would not have come here.

After hearing Zeng Zheng's speech, those foreign reporters were also speechless.

I thought that Chinese bamboo shoes, which entered the World Cup for the first time, were falling into "civil strife" and planned to break the pot;

But judging from Zeng Zheng's words and deeds, it seems that there are really two brushes.

Anyway, the game is about to start.

It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk!
December 6th, 24pm.

Bordeaux, Parc Les Cours.

The stadium, which can only accommodate 35200 fans, was squeezed into more than 40000 fans.

For achievements.

The mayor of Bordeaux is also going all out.

Temporarily add seats and recruit more security personnel.

Fortunately, the fans who came to the scene came to cheer for the team.

Those Chinese fans who can "temporarily" buy tickets to squeeze in are too late to be grateful, so how can they cause trouble?
As soon as the fans entered the field, they quickly found their positions and began to arrange.

Those who pull the banners pull the banners, and those who fiddle with the instruments tune.

After the fans gradually formed a scale, they began to sing various familiar songs in small groups.

Accompanied by the sound of "Come on, Chinese team", the scene was quickly covered in red.

An English reporter exclaimed: "Where in the world can you find such good fans?"

Another reporter replied: "The Chinese team is the guarantee of their presence!"

There are such a large number of fans traveling with the team.

How many teams are there in this world?
Rossi and his group came, as did Lao Rong's family.

Those familiar faces who often appear on the sidelines and in the camera also poured into the stadium one by one.

After watching so many games together, the fans became familiar with each other.

"Yo, buddy, are you here today?"

"Yeah, they're all here to support the national team!"

"Did you bring a horn this time? If you don't bring a horn, I can still play it for you!"

"No, no, no, this time I'll blow my own trumpet."

Ignored the shocking words of the next seat.

Lao Rong took out cheering props such as small flags, bells, and horns from his backpack, and distributed them to his wife and children one by one.

In the end, there was only one bottle of champagne left in the backpack.

This is what he bought locally after he came to France.

The purpose is to open directly when the Chinese team scores the first goal.

But twice in a row, he carried it back as it was.

"Champagne, champagne!"

Lao Rong shook his head and stroked the body of the bottle.

"I hope today's game will give me a reason to toast!"

"This is a war!"

In the court lounge, Troussier stared at his players with a serious face and said, "Now I only ask you to reach the top [-]!"

"The Chinese team is not strong, I don't allow you to give up early!"

Omar Troussier was nicknamed the White Wizard.

Last year, Troussier was sacked by Nizhuxie after leading Nigeria to the World Cup.

Then he led the Burkina Faso team and won No.4 in the Africa Cup of Nations held in the country.

Then, he came to the World Cup with the South African team.

Having coached in Africa for 9 years, Troussier knows African players like the back of his hand.

On the other side, Zeng Zheng is also giving his last pre-war speech with his players.

"Better than the top, have more than the bottom."

"Japan and South Korea are still out 1"

"Everyone, don't have any mental burden."

"In this game, the most pressured opponent is South Africa."

"Let's play honestly, and what we achieve is the result of everyone's hard work."

"I don't want any of you to have any regrets after the game."

After Zeng Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the time.

"Okay, let's go in."

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zheng stepped aside and leaned against the door, revealing the path leading to the players' tunnel.

The team members stood up and walked in front of Zeng Zheng one by one.

Every time a team member passed by, Zeng Zheng gave the opponent a high-five.

After receiving Zeng Zheng's blessing, the players walked towards the player tunnel with their heads held high.

Looking at the players in front of him, Wang Junsheng asked cautiously.

"Old Chi, tell me the truth. If you were to bring this game, what would you think?"

It's been a while since Wang Junsheng still asked this question, Chi Shangbin thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Leader, I have nothing to do."

"But if I were to lead, I would at most be like Coach Gao 10 years ago."

Coach Gao that Shangbin mentioned was Gao Fengwen.

In 1988, Gao Fengwen led the Chinese team to the Olympic Games for the first time.

In that Olympic Games, the Chinese team lost to West Germany 0-3 in the first match, and then lost to Sweden 0-2 in the second round.

In the last match, Gao Fengwen dispatched troops and sent generals to the best of his abilities.

In the end, with a 0-0 score, they drew with Tunisia and earned the first World Series points for the Chinese team.

So far, Gao Fengwen has also left his own mark in the history of the national team's World Series.

"0 to 0?" Wang Jun said, "What's the point?"

0 to 0, is the most boring draw.

Where can satisfy the appetite of fans?
In the words of the fans, "Being hungry is better than not eating!"

On the other side, Troussier was also in the player channel and met the South African team leader.

Facing the careful inquiry of the team leader, Troussier smiled contemptuously.

"Don't look at everyone entering the World Cup for the first time."

"If I can't even win the Chinese team, I might as well go to China to coach!"
