World Cup of Great Powers

"Hello, audience friends, I am the commentator Morena!"

"I am now at the Enugu Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, explaining the match between China and Uruguay in Group D of this World Youth Championship."

"The team in blue is Uruguay, and the team in red is China."

"The two sides have already set up their positions, and the Uruguayan team took the lead to kick off."

"The starting lineups for both sides are."

"Eh!"

"Uruguay had a chance."

"Nusri got the ball and went to the left"

"Diego Forlan comes in fast through the middle."

"Cross!"

"Chevanton!!!"

"The ball has been scored!"

"My God, the game has just started, and Uruguay took the lead in breaking the goal of the Chinese team with an attack."

"It's just unbelievable!"

"All the fans in the stadium were sighing with regret."

"Look, now the head coach of the Chinese team, Zeng, appears in the camera."

"In last year's World Cup, he once led the Chinese team to the top [-] of the World Cup, and was known as a magical coach in Asia."

"But judging from today's scene, Coach Miracle seems to have time to take a nap."

Zeng Zheng stood on the sidelines with his hands folded, showing a hint of surprise on Uruguay's opening blitz.

Since Uruguay lost to Mali in the first game, Uruguay has been on the brink of death. Zeng Zheng expected to increase the attack in this game.

But I didn't expect the opponent to score so soon.

"We are so unlucky! I didn't expect to be scored so quickly by the opponent."

Zeng Zheng shook his head vigorously.

Then he shouted at the players on the field: "Don't worry, you lose the ball if you lose the ball, and you can kick as you want!"

"Zhao Junzhe, stop for me in the middle!"

"Xu Yunlong, you too, look after him, don't let that guy pass so easily."

"Wang Liang, Li Yan, you two should focus on defense first!"

Zeng Zheng made several commands in a row, all targeting one person, that is Diego Forlan who just sent an assist for Chevanton.

This guy doesn't seem to be a big threat, but according to Zeng Zheng's understanding, many threatening balls in Uruguay come from his feet.

After a simple investigation, Uruguay began to show its advantages in strength in front of the China Youth Team.

The offense of the China Youth Team is mainly through the pass between Xu Yunlong and Shao Jiayi, seeking a breakthrough from the left.

But because the opponent had already prepared in advance for Shao Jiayi, the threat was not great.

In the 14th minute, the fans who came to cheer for the China Youth Team broke out in a cold sweat again.

Xu Yunlong's return pass was not strong enough, Liu Yunfei abandoned the goal and kicked the tackle on the ground to clear the siege and kicked on the feet of Uruguayan striker Chevanton, and the ball bounced off the baseline.

While everyone was making a false alarm, they had a new understanding of the Uruguayan No. 9 player.

"Xiao Zeng, the situation is not going well." Zhu Guanghu said worriedly.

"It's okay, let's just increase the intensity." Zeng frowned slightly.

Several times Uruguay's threatening offenses were passed through the middle.

In other words, as long as some confrontation is strengthened in the middle to prevent the opponent from sending threatening balls from the source, the situation can be stabilized.

But the question is, who will do the "dirty work"?

In the past, Li Tie was the best candidate.

With no one at hand, Zeng Zheng only thought for half a minute before shouting loudly: "Zheng Zhi, stand in the middle!"

"Up the intensity!"

"Stop letting that guy kick!"

Through simple adjustments, Zeng Zheng raised Zheng Zhi's position to the midfielder, and Wang Liang and others fell back temporarily.

This is Zheng Zhi's first time playing this position since his debut.

Although he was still a little unfamiliar, Zheng Zhi quickly gained a firm foothold in this place after Zeng Zheng reminded him several times.

"Zeng's adjustment is still very fast."

In the stands, some scouts nodded repeatedly.

"This Chinese player looks very thin, but he kicked a little harder!"

"But it's right to be ruthless. You see, it is difficult for Uruguay to play a decent offense in the middle now."

After Zeng Zheng's adjustment, although he used the rush to score a goal at the beginning, the Uruguayan did not increase the score in time.

Don't look at them still attacking like a tide, but the soldiers of the Zhongqing team come to block them, and the water comes to cover them.

In the absence of an urgent equalizer, they gradually gained a foothold and began to play back and forth with Uruguay.

Uruguay adopted the current mainstream offensive tactics.

With No. 10 Diego Forlan as the core, he uses his ability to hold the ball at the front of the opponent's penalty area to constantly pull the opponent's defense line, and then waits for an opportunity to add you to the penalty area, and the striker completes the fatal blow.

And the double defensive midfielders composed of Zheng Zhi and Xu Yunlong just restrained this style of play.

The two are like two gates in front of the China Youth Team, shutting out all the attacks of the Uruguayans.

"As expected of the amazing coach of the Chinese team, he pulled up the defense so quickly!"

Double defensive midfielder defense is not a rare tactic, but it is not easy to form an effective combat force by switching positions and matching existing players on the field in a short period of time.

This means that the head coach can not only analyze the situation on the field in a short period of time, but also have a good understanding of the personal abilities of the players under his command.

With Zeng Zheng standing on the sidelines, the lower limit of the China Youth Team will not be too low!
"Sure enough, it's a bit level!"

Uruguay coach Rodrica stood on the sidelines, looking at the Chinese youth team that defended their offense impeccably, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Zeng Zheng is really too young.

He is so young that any coach will unconsciously regard him as a junior when he takes a look at him.

The Uruguayans must score three points in this battle.

But looking at it now, even leading by one goal does not seal the victory!

The assistant coach on the side also saw the clues, and whispered in the ear of the Uruguay coach: "Our attack on a 30-meter area is like knocking down an iron plate, and we can't pass it in."

"Diego can't do anything alone."

"The No. 5 of the Chinese team is too difficult."

"And very decisive"

Roderica shook his head with a wry smile, "That No. 5 is just the one who made a fool of himself, and the key is not with him."

Saying that, Rodrika pointed to Xu Yunlong and Zhao Junzhe, "The reason why number 5 can find a suitable opportunity to step down is because of these two people's support."

"But to be honest, that No. 5 looks pretty thin, but I didn't expect it to be so good in confrontation. He has plenty of energy and is active in running."

"There is such a player on the defense line of the Chinese team, no matter who it is, it will be a headache!"

The assistant shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.

Zheng Zhi has been playing full-back and center-back before, and he didn't have a good eye.

But today Zeng Zheng casually moved this move, and it happened to be stuck at the throat of the Uruguayan.

Such a development caught the Uruguayans by surprise.

"Fortunately, we were lucky and scored a goal before they adjusted!"

After Rodrika finished speaking, she sighed again.

"But I have to admit that the Chinese team is really a magical team."

"Each of their players has their own talents, but we don't have the exact data on them at all."

"Because the special talents of these players were brought into play under the on-the-spot command of the young Chinese coach."

"If we don't reach that step, maybe we will never know that a certain player has a certain ability!"

"The most important thing is that even under the change of formation, this Chinese team can still maintain their distinctive offensive characteristics."

"Look, that No. 7 and No. 12 have been watching."

"The number 16 on the side has always been ready to go."

"Once we make their speed soar, we really may not be able to hold it!"

As Roderica said, the characteristic of the China Youth Team is speed!

And this kind of special team is very difficult to defend.

If you are not careful, your opponent will surprise you to the front of the penalty area.

Looking at the time, Roderica began calling for the team to change.

No team can maintain a high-pressure offensive for a long time, and the rhythm of all games must be relaxed and tightened, advancing and retreating.

The Uruguayan attacked for 10 minutes and it was time to slow down.

"We'll be back in 5 minutes!"

The assistant coach nodded, this was planned before the game.

"But we have to be careful, that Chinese coach will definitely catch us!"

"As long as he sees us retreating, he will definitely follow up quickly."

"We must not let him seize this gap!"

On the rostrum, Wang Junsheng and Ladd sat together, watching the game.

Unlike the Uruguayans who are fighting to the death.

If the youth team wins again in this game, it will directly announce that the group has advanced.

"Mr. Ladd, do you think we have a chance to turn defeat into victory?"

Ogenjanovic Ladd, FIFA Senior Lecturer, Yugoslavia Football Coach.

In 1993, he came to China to serve as the coach of the National Olympic Games. From 19941996 to 1996, he served as the technical consultant of the National Olympic Games. In [-], he became the head coach of the Beijing Longli Football School.

As an early foreign coach who came to China at the same time as Schlappner, Ladd has taken root in China these years.

It is also because of Ladd's good reputation in the country that Horton was elected as the head coach of the national team as a foreign teacher even though the negative news of "reselling the national football team" broke out.

According to Zhu Xie's idea, let Ladd, a foreign teacher who is familiar with China's national conditions, temporarily stay in the position of coach of the national team for a year or two.

After these national Olympic and national youth teams have fully grown up, let Zeng Zheng take over to form a perfect transition.

Although Wang Junsheng has also played football, in terms of the overall situation and the overall situation, he is basically no different from ordinary fans.

"Wang Zhuxi, did you see that Zeng was in a hurry?"

The wise old man from Yugoslavia did not answer Wang Junsheng's question directly, but asked back with a smile.

Wang Junsheng looked to the sidelines, Zeng Zheng didn't show any panic on his face.

Even if they are yelling sometimes, it is just urging the players to move in place.

"Xiao Zeng didn't show any signs of worry."

"That's it." Ladd smiled slightly. "Coach Zeng is an excellent coach. He knows these young people better than us, so we should trust him."

As time passed, Uruguay's offense became less violent, but the players of the China Youth Team still did not dare to be careless, and carefully responded to every attack of their opponents.

Although the defense was very good, many people began to sneak glances to the sidelines, hoping to see changes from Zeng Zheng.

The Chinese youth team can afford to lose, but the game is not over yet, so there is no need to admit defeat at this stage.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing the clarion call of Zeng Zheng's counterattack.

But to everyone's surprise, Zeng Zheng remained unmoved even though he saw that Uruguay's offense had slowed down.

"What's the situation with Boss Zeng? The opponent is not attacking anymore, why don't we attack quickly?"

"Could it be that Chief Zeng gave up?"

"Impossible, this is only the first half!"

"We must trust Boss Zeng, he must have his own ideas!"

Zeng Zheng stood still, but Uruguay was hesitant.

It is not difficult to analyze from Zeng Zheng's past games that Zeng Zheng is a coach with particularly strong on-the-spot command ability.

Not only is he good at it, but he does it often.

To this end, Rodrika and his coaching staff are also well prepared.

But the problem was that Zeng Zheng suddenly seemed to be stuck and couldn't play his cards!

As a result, the plan that Rodrika had prepared a long time ago was delayed, and the cards in his hand just couldn't be played!
"This guy must be holding back his big move!"

Rodrika did not believe that Zeng Zheng would surrender so early.

His many years of coaching career have made him very sure that Zeng Zheng must be thinking of a way to win with one move!

But the problem was that he didn't know when Zeng Zheng would make his move, nor where his knife would go.

As time passed by every minute and every second, Rodrika also became anxious.

"The pace of the game is too slow!" The assistant coach whispered from the side, "Shall we take the opportunity to attack again, if we can expand the score advantage to two goals."

The long-term slow pace can easily affect the players' desire to attack.

Rodrika thought for a moment, then shook her head, "No, just wait!"

Turning his head, he looked at Zeng Zheng on the other side.

Roderica was really unpredictable.

What the hell are you thinking?
At this moment, Zeng Zheng suddenly turned his head and met Rodrika's eyes.

As if aware of the other party's gaze, Zeng Zheng grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

Hey!
This guy actually laughed!
What is he laughing at?
What is he thinking again?
As time passed, Roderica couldn't sit still anymore.

Looking at the time, Roderica whispered to the assistant coach: "Tell the players, it's time to attack again!"

"Aim at their right this time, let's attack from the side!"

This was originally Zheng Zhi's defense zone.

Rodrika does not believe that after Zeng Zheng's impromptu change, the defensive strength of the China Youth Team can still be maintained here.

After all, these players are young people, and it is impossible for Zeng Zheng to do everything.

Soon, the Uruguayan players on the field received instructions from the assistant coach and quickly began to organize, bringing the rhythm of the game back up again.

The Uruguayan was strong and was quick to seize a chance.

After playing a beautiful two-two from the wing, Diego Forlan kicked the ball into the space on the right side of the penalty area.

Zhao Jun turned back and was unable to defend, the opponent's left midfielder Hera took a strong shot towards the ball, the ball rubbed against the post, and hit the camera behind the goal directly.

Seeing such a result, the Uruguayan shook his head and sighed.

At this moment, Zeng Zheng waved his hand suddenly, and called Wang Liang to his side in front of all the fans.
