World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 98 The Benefits of the Magical Coach

Thunder on the ground!
The Chinese team eliminated Laudrup and the Danish team to qualify from Group C. This news became the biggest news since the start of this World Cup in the blink of an eye.

In 92, the veterans of Danish fairy tales have not all retired. Last year, Denmark was the first in the group.

Such a Danish team lost to an unknown Asian team?
The term "dark horse" landed on the Chinese team overnight.

The advancement of the Chinese team has become the subject of discussion by various media.

It is not uncommon to qualify with 3 points in this World Cup.

Just like the Group B match that just ended the day before, the Chileans failed to win a single game and were able to qualify from the group.

The Chinese team still won a game anyway!

Before this World Cup, many teams won a group match, and then advanced to the top 16 with the promotion mechanism of the third place in the group.

But this year is different!

In this World Cup, the number of participating national teams has expanded to 32, and there is no possibility of qualifying for the third place in the group.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team's turnaround has become the most talked about topic among fans all over the world.

Participated in the World Cup for the first time, lost the first game, and lost to the host in the second game by a big score.

According to past experience, such an Asian team will pack up and leave after the third game, and no one will care about him.

Coming to the World Cup is just a formality to support the scene.

I thought it was the same for the Chinese team.

But who ever thought.

In the last group match, the Chinese team not only scored a big victory over their opponents, but they even managed to survive and advance to the group.

Reuters introduced the three group games of the Chinese team in detail under the title "Lucky Chinese Team".

After losing two games in a row, Reuters said that the strength of the Chinese team, which is visiting the World Cup for the first time, is indeed different from those of the World Cup regulars.

But in the end, they completed the "reversal" in an "unbelievable" way.

If it weren't for the French team to win, if it weren't for the Danes who messed up their positions during the game, no matter how many goals the Chinese team scored, it would be of no avail.

They hide themselves in failure, and complete the "anti-kill!" in silence

With the help of the hosts, they became the biggest winner of the group.

On the contrary, Agence France-Presse issued an article saying, "The promotion of the Chinese team is not just luck."

Everyone knows that the last group match is actually a fight for honor for the Chinese team.

Although there is still a theoretical possibility of qualifying, in the eyes of fans, it is no different from Japan and South Korea that have already been eliminated.

But it was such a battle of honor, and the Chinese team played their own style.

A team can score 4 goals in a World Cup match.

Either you are too strong, or your opponent is too weak.

Among teams of the same level, it is rare to score such a big score.

The phenomenon of "pecking each other" is generally manifested in the World Cup as 0-0, not a farce with a big score.

Judging from the results, if the Chinese team did not work hard on their own, it would not be his turn to advance.

What's more, anyone who has watched the game knows it well.

The Chinese team scored 4 goals in a row to overtake the game when they were behind by [-] goals.

Agence France-Presse finally stated: "It is not so much the 'lucky Chinese team', it is better to say that relying on unremitting efforts and struggle, in exchange for the favor of the gods."

"French Football" analyzed the matter from another angle.

As the saying goes, "If you sharpen your guns before the battle, you will be happy if you are unhappy; if you change your coach before the battle, it is all accidental."

The "accident" of the Chinese team came from their temporary head coach.

In a group of photos released by France Football, Zeng Zheng, who appears in the camera at any time, is shouting and commanding loudly.

Such command frequency is very young in world football.

One is because the environment on the court is complex and opportunities are fleeting.Even if the coach can see the scene clearly, it will be too late when the voice passes.

The second is that these football coaches are generally old, and it is simply unrealistic for them to stand on the sidelines and shout nine or ten minutes like young people.

Not only that, the tactical map left in the locker room of the Chinese team after the game was also revealed by the staff.

The circles and triangles above, as well as various arrow marks, are like scalpel scars, completely dismembering the South African team.

"French Football" finally praised: "... Putting on such a magical coach can at least make the team unbeaten."

After being rendered by many media, "dark horse" and "magic coach" have become "synonymous" with the Chinese team.

Especially when it was learned that Zeng Zheng was still the champion coach of the Toulon Cup, more than a dozen clubs approached him, wanting to invite Zeng Zheng to coach.

The "miraculous" advancement of the Chinese team brought different consequences to the other three Asian teams.

South Korea, which also changed coaches in Group E, was encouraged. Facing Belgium, which wanted to advance, they fought desperately with their opponents.

With Yoo Sang-chul's goal in the 72nd minute, South Korea and Belgium tied 1-1, and the European Red Devils were eliminated.

Saudi Arabia was not so lucky.

Saudi Arabia, which has one win and one loss, can only qualify for the final game if it wins.

Before the game, the big-name stars Klinsmann and Bierhoff both said, "The result of the Chinese team sounded the alarm for us, and we will no longer underestimate any Asian team."

In this way, Germany defeated their opponents 2-0 and eliminated Saudi Arabia.

Xiaotian worked hard in the last game, but also reaped good luck.

Facing Jamaica, which was also eliminated and participated in the World Cup for the first time, Xiaotian scored the first goal of the World Cup by Nakayama Masashi in the 74th minute.

Although it was still a 1-2 defeat, fans of Little Days can still accept such an ending.

After the three Asian teams were eliminated, the media from various countries issued articles, wishing the Chinese team to go further and further in the World Cup and create greater glories.

In the words of the "Asahi Shimbun", ".No matter what, the opponent with the Brazilian team for the championship is an Asian team."

The group advanced, and the Chinese team got a 3-day rest.

During this period, although Spain beat Bulgaria 6-1 in Group D, they did not have the right to qualify.

On the other side, Nigeria lost 1 to 3 to the eager Paraguay, and the two teams finally joined forces to qualify.

The same is true in Group E. The uncrowned king Netherlands was tied by the tenacious Mexico, and Belgium failed to win against the South Koreans, so they could only go home with their opponents.

There is no suspense in Group F. Yugoslavia and Germany, two traditional strong teams, jointly qualify.But only Zeng Zheng knew that this was the last time Yugoslavia appeared in the World Cup.

Romania, who had no trouble qualifying in Group G, drew 1-1 with Tunisia. In the "life and death competition" between England and Colombia, they had the last laugh with the goals of Anderton and Beckham.

The match in Group H was just for the sake of explanation. Argentina and Croatia, who had already qualified, played 1-0 "casually".

Just when the Chinese team was studying how to deal with Nigeria, the "old friend" Santos came to the door.

"Zeng, you're famous again!"

"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Being famous is not a good thing! What happened last time?"

Foreigners don't really understand the Chinese people's ability to hide their strengths and bide their time, and they think Zeng Zheng is Chinese-style modesty.

"Zeng, I can only say that you are really lucky." Santos looked flattering, "Ponte Preta agreed to release him, and he also promised to come to China to play for a year."

"You also know that since Maradona left, Naples' performance has plummeted."

"Players like them who are about to retire are thinking about making another fortune before retiring."

"He's barely playing in the team now, and Ponte Preta is trying to send him out!"

A qualified team not only needs to have the main players who attack the city and defend the defense, but also needs to have veterans with a stable military spirit, a commercial brand that can "kick and go" and can bring fame and fame to the club. A "mascot" for reputation, attention, gimmicks, etc.

Zeng Zheng's budget is not much, and in terms of "mascots", he can only use this method to get old horse traffic.

After Santos' mediation, after the end of Brazil's domestic league, the opponent can come to China, just in time for Shanghai Geng's spring training.

After briefly finalizing the verbal agreement, Zeng Zheng finally smiled.

It seems that going to the World Cup with such a big risk this time is not fruitless!
　Thanks to the support of many book friends, the goal is achieved.

　　I have been seriously ill these past few days, so let me transfer for two days.

　　Starting on the 1st of next month, there will be [-] changes every day, and we will do what we say!
　　As for Tiezi, I don't want to say more.

　　All the fans who come here to watch are old fans. Everyone knows better than me what has happened in the past 20 years.

　　Tie Zi in this article is still the main force, and there is no need to worry about 404. This is fundamentally different from the one who was fired.

　　In addition, this article is a parallel world. Some young players basically reshape their personalities after the protagonist wins. Let me make it clear first.

　　Finally, I would like to say that small bets are fun, but big bets are harmful.

　　I don't buy balls, and the protagonist doesn't know how to buy balls either.
