World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 318

"We can see that Coach Zeng made some small adjustments in the formation today."

"Yang Chen, Xie Hui, and Zhang Yuxie will start together."

"It seems that the Chinese team is playing a three-forward formation today."

"Li Tie plays a single midfielder, and the two forwards are Li Jinyu and Shensi."

"There hasn't been much change in the positions of the defenders, namely Sun Jihai, General Fan, Li Weifeng and Wu Chengying."

"Starting goalkeeper Ou Chuliang."

"Before the game, Coach Zeng said that he would take all three points."

"His starting arrangement, I am afraid that everyone has not guessed."

As soon as the camera turned, Zhang Xiaorui was leaning on a chair in the coach's bench with his arms folded in a substitute team uniform.

Unlike the leisure of the substitutes, the coaches were nervous and turned back and forth.

Just as Huang Jianxiang introduced the Thai players one by one, Shensi made a touch in the middle and passed the captain of the Thai team Chitisa Sanaman.

The captain was passed, and the penalty area of ​​the Thai team was in chaos.

Shensi saw the opportunity, and directly pushed her foot straight to Yang Chen's feet.

After getting the ball, he used his body to forcibly block the Thai player. After protecting the ball for a second, he directly swept the ball with his left foot in front of the goal.

In the chaos, Zhang Yuxi rushed to the goal to follow up with a strong shot, and the ball easily got into the lower left corner of the goal of the Thai team.

Such a fantastic start completely disrupted the visiting team's deployment.

"The ball is in! It's in!" Huang Jianxiang shouted immediately.

"Zhang Yuxie, it's Zhang Yuxie!"

"Zhang Yuxie opened the scoring for the Chinese team in his hometown!"

"Less than 2 minutes into the game, the Chinese team led by 1 goal!"

"What a fantastic start! What an amazing coach, what a team that is good at creating miracles!"

"Before the game, we were still saying that although the Thai team has little hope of qualifying in the group, their performance is related to the qualifying of other teams."

"Now it seems that Coach Zeng's new formation has worked wonders!"

In the stands, the fans who came to Shen to cheer had already burst into laughter.

Countless red flags fluttered in the wind, dyeing the entire Wulihe Stadium red.

"Heizi still has a hand!"

"This guy, it's like a different person once he arrives on the court!"

"It was the same when I played the Four Nations game a few days ago. When I first joined the team, my attitude was sluggish, as if I didn't sleep well. But when I got to the court, I became lively."

"Or how can we say that Boss Zeng is a magical coach?! Only he can make us forget everything in reality and devote ourselves to the game wholeheartedly."

The substitute players talked a lot.

Especially Zhang Xiaorui.

If he is on the field, even if he is not the goal just now, he is also the assister.

Although he missed the first goal in the top ten match, Zhang Xiaorui didn't show any displeasure on his face.

Without Zeng Zheng, there would be no him today!

Seeing the goal, Jin Chi and the two also put their hanging hearts back into their stomachs.

The two of them, who had learned before the match that they were about to change their teams, did not agree with Zeng Zheng's "reckless" approach.

Even they are ready to review the fans after the game.

Set aside their estimates.

Although the new formation is not well adapted, but relying on the personal ability of the players, it is no problem to win the Thailand team.

Probably the Chinese team committed the problem of soft feet in previous competitions. They played in fear for more than 80 minutes, and then at the last moment, relying on the individual ability of the players, they randomly scored a goal and finally defeated the opponent 1-0.

But it was unexpected.

This script was smashed in only 2 minutes.

Judging from the players' passing, running positions and adaptability to their positions, this 433 formation has not weakened the team's combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, with three strikers, the attacking ability seems to be stronger than before.

After scoring the goal, the two hugged each other first, and then planned to go to Zeng Zheng to report the good news.

Seeing that Zeng Zhengzheng and Ladd were chatting happily, he didn't bother him.

"Zeng, I have to say, you once again subverted my cognition." Ladd admired.

"There is nothing to be happy about." Zeng Zheng smiled lightly. "In our Chinese language, this is called paying attention to the opponent tactically and despising the opponent strategically. The Thai team is a classic example."

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it."

"Peter White knows, right? It's the British guy opposite."

Ladd nodded.

What Zeng Zheng said was the head coach of the Thai team who was anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"His identity is the same as yours, and he also belongs to the international bead curtain that was sent to Thailand to support vulnerable areas."

"I heard that his salary is still borne by FIFA."

Ladd knew what Zeng Zheng said.

But he didn't understand what this had to do with this game.

"As a British coach, Pete has only been in Thailand for about two years."

"Although the strength of the Thai team has indeed improved a lot after his arrival, the natural physical disadvantage of the Thai team determines that they can only show their strength in the 'Tiger Cup'."

"It is a very, very long process for Thai football to develop and play its own style while curbing its own shortcomings."

"And to do this, Pete can't do it!"

"It's not just Pete who can't do it, coaches from other countries can't do it either."

"It must be the local coach of the Thai team."

"But before that, we need a few or even a dozen foreign coaches like Pete to go to the Thai team to lay the groundwork."

"At this point, the Chinese team and the Thai team are fundamentally different."

Hearing this, Ladd nodded thoughtfully.

"Coach Zeng, are you saying that the current Chinese team has reached the point you said?"

This is a simple two-step problem.

Pete's arrival opened the door for the Thai team.

After gaining knowledge and learning advanced technology, the Thai team is fundamentally different from other small Southeast Asian teams that work behind closed doors.

But the things of foreigners, after all, serve the foreigners themselves.

To have something of their own, Thais have to be on their own.

To put it bluntly, it is abusive for the Thai team to play other small Southeast Asian teams in the Tiger Cup. This is consistent with the reason why the Chinese team looks at the Thai team at a higher level in the top ten matches.

After figuring this out, Zeng Zheng can treat this game with a higher latitude than his opponents in terms of selection, formation, and tactics.

Instead of dealing with opponents with old ideas and old ideas like Jin Chi and the other two.

"Just like the captain Chitisa Sanaman who was passed by Shensi before, Mr. Ladd, do you know his worth?"

As the captain of the Thai team, Chitisa Sanaman has the title of "Little Zico" in the Thai team.

Many domestic media in Thailand also pinned most of their hopes for today's game on this headed star.

It is precisely because of this.

After seeing Chitisa Sanaman being easily passed by, the Thai team's defense was briefly chaotic.

"I don't know." Ladd shook his head honestly.

"It is said that when the Hong'an Club and the Singapore Samba Bay Club extended their olive branches at the same time, Chitisa Sanaman chose the former."

"The reason is also very simple."

"Because the Hong'an Club offered more favorable conditions, he couldn't refuse."

"I heard that his contract is a monthly salary of [-] US dollars, free board and lodging, and a Mercedes-Benz car."

"This is a sky-high price in Vietnam, where the per capita annual income is [-] to [-] U.S. dollars!"

"But compared to our players."

Zeng Zheng pointed to the players on the field.

"Whether it is local or overseas"

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zheng shook his head and made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound.

"I'm not saying that hardship and simplicity are bad."

"It's this level of knowledge that also determines that the Chinese team does not need to regard the Thai team as an opponent on the same level as itself."

"To deal with such an opponent, I use 442, or 433, or even 343, and it doesn't have much impact on the result."

Hearing this, Ladd suddenly realized.

Think back to the two or three years when I was sent by the international bead curtain to the Chinese team to support.

The Chinese team at that time was indeed a group of 11 people who gathered together to fight wildly.

Not to mention Yugoslavia, even South Korea next door can't beat it!

Zhang Yuchen's goal completely blew the horn of attack.

Whether it is the media or the players, no one thinks that Zhang Yuxi is the chief striker in Zeng Zheng's heart.

What's more, Qu Yueheng's lawsuit has not been completely settled yet.

But it is such a player who can score goals at the speed of light in such an important game as the top ten.

Greatly stimulated the other players on the field.

Three minutes later, Yang Chen received a wonderful pass from Sun Jihai and made another pass from the bottom. Facing Zhang Yuxie and Xie Hui's steals, the Thai defender barely cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

As soon as the ball flew out, Shensi from outside the penalty area shot at the ball from the top of the gourd, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the goal post!

Seeing this shot, Ma Mingyu was so excited that he bounced off the bench.

This ball is full of power, and there is a little S-shaped change in the air.

As long as you kick within the range of the goal frame, you will score a goal!

If I were five or six years younger, I would not have a problem playing such a ball.

But now, alas.
The fierce attack made the Thai team unable to lift their heads at all.

The "short and fast spirit" that the Thai team is proud of cannot be played out under Zeng Zheng's defensive tactics.

The players don't need to compete with their opponents for speed.

You just need to stand in your position and defend according to the usual training methods.

Thailand's offensive players were like sparrows that plunged into the net one after another, and eventually they could no longer flap their wings.

The defense is worry-free, and the offensive intensity is even greater!
Sun Jihai and Wu Chengying alternately inserted assists on the left and right flanks. Yang Chen and Xie Hui were one on the left and one on the right. They were second to none in terms of assault ability and grabbing ability.

Not to mention Zhang Yuxie.

As a tall and large "assassin center", his threat in the penalty area is "nuclear bomb level".

This height has an advantage on the Thai team.

The technique under the feet is good, and the sense of smell in front of the door is still good.

Such an opponent, if the Thai team doesn't send two or three people to watch, they won't be able to defend against it at all!

In the 19th minute, Sun Jihai, who put in an assist, easily sent a high-quality cross at a 45-degree angle after attracting the attention of the two defenders.

Facing the ball coming from the air, Yang Chen, Xie Hui, and Zhang Yuxie jumped up at the same time.

Facing such a high-altitude bombing, the Thai team defending the three could only stand still, like refugees waiting for the end of the world.

boom! ! !
Xie Hui, who was ahead of the game, flicked the header and the ball hit the net.

2 is better than 0!

The Chinese team extended its lead.

The second goal completely stunned the Thai team.

After looking up at the defense twice, Pete immediately realized the gap, so he simply returned to the coach's bench and sat down.

no way!
There's no defense against that ball at all!

Let alone Yang Chen, Zhang Yuxie, and Xie Hui.

It is Li Jinyu and Shensi, who have a great advantage over the Thai players in the high-altitude ball.

Both Sun Jihai and Wu Chengying have the ability to cross the ball, plus the occasional two air fighters, General Fan and Li Weifeng, the Thai team's air defense ability is infinitely close to 0.

This is still in the absence of Xiao Wang Tao.

How do you play this ball? !

No kick!
I thought that relying on my own "Little Kuailing" would be able to entangle with the Chinese team for a period of time.

But in less than 20 minutes, two goals were scored.

Seeing this, Pete, who came from a big city, finally realized that the Chinese team really, as the newspaper said, had already left the scope of Asian teams.

Let him take the Thai team to play the European team, it really can't be played a hundred times!
On the court, the Chinese team's offense is not over yet!

Three minutes later, Shensi made an over-the-top direct pass in the midfield, and Yang Chen got the ball to form a semi-single-handed.

It's a pity that before the kick, the two central defenders who were desperately shoveled by the opponent destroyed the ball out of the bottom line.

One minute later, Yang Chen made amends.

Taking advantage of the chance of a corner kick, he scored with a header and expanded the score to 3-0.

So far, the three starting forwards sent by Zeng Zheng have all scored goals.

In the 35th minute, Shensi, who was extremely active, took the free kick near the center circle and won the starting game "accidentally".

At this time, Zeng Zheng stood up and shouted for General Fan to go to the opponent's penalty area to fight for the top.

Seeing the burly General Fan also squeezed in, the Thai team almost cried.

Is this Nima still a restricted area in our house?
Why do you look around and see that they are all Chinese players? ? ?

After the whistle blew, General Fan really stood out from the crowd in the restricted area.

He headed the ball easily from the front point and ferried the ball to the back post.

Xie Hui, who came from behind, formed a header to respond, the header was a little easier, and the ball went directly into the net.

4 is better than 0!

After scoring the goal, General Fan and Xie Hui, who received the assist, hugged each other tightly and cheered for the far-leading score.

In the commentary booth at the scene, Huang Jianxiang's throat was already dry from shouting.

No matter how many champions you have won before, no matter how many titles you have won.Because of the black history of the national team, people still can't help but worry about this top ten match.

But now, there is nothing to worry about.

The players seem to have opened up, and they should pass and shoot.

Playing a top ten game is like training in peacetime.

Judging from the current situation, the Chinese team is still doing well.

And it is very likely that the Thai team will become a stepping stone for the "competition for fame and fortune".

Play the top ten match as the first stage of the group stage.

It's fun to think about it!
In the second half, Pete played two substitution cards in a row, all of which were strengthened on the side attack.

Even if you can't win, at least you have to win back a city by strengthening your offense and earn some morale.

Unfortunately, the Thai team never found a way to attack.

Li Tie's full-court galloping attributes make him always appear on the attacking route of the Thai players at the first time.

In the 62nd and 69th minutes, Zeng Zheng replaced the scoring heroes Yang Chen and Zhang Yuzhen with Zhang Xiaorui and Su Maozhen respectively.

After Zhang Xiaorui played, he returned to his familiar position as an organizational midfielder.

The formation has also become 4132.

Facing the Chinese team that has returned to 442, the Thai team has long since lost the confidence before the game.

In the 71st minute, Shensi took a right corner kick.

The golden-headed Lao Mao who had just played headed the ball, and the ball passed the fingertips of the Thai goalkeeper and got into the net.

It was the first time that Sumao, who had touched the ball, was really pissed. Facing the surrounding teammates who came up to celebrate, he also complained in his heart:
Fuck, I didn't expect it to be so easy to score! If I were to start this game, would I be able to score 5 now?
In the 79th minute, Zeng Zheng turned his head inadvertently.

Everyone on the bench bounced off their chairs instantly.

me me me!
choose me!choose me!

Including Ma Mingyu, a veteran player, everyone's eyes are full of small stars.

To score at home in Game [-] of the Big Ten is a remarkable achievement.

Zeng Zheng ordered troops and generals, and finally pointed at the young general Zhao Junzhe.

Afterwards, in the sign held high by the fourth official, Shensi was honored to end under the cheers of countless fans, and the Liaozu teenager was also fortunate to experience the atmosphere of the top ten match at his home court.

In the end, the score of 5 to 0 was maintained until the end, and the Chinese team won the first victory in the top ten of this world preliminaries.
