Chapter 219 The 4th China-South Korea Competition(1/3)
As spring goes and autumn comes, people come and go.
Time flies and 4 months have passed.
In the past four months, Zeng Zheng has led the National Youth, National Olympics and National Football Team to play nearly 20 friendly matches.
This includes leading the National Youth Team to Spain for training, leading the National Olympic Team to Brazil for training, leading the National Football Team to Yugoslavia for training, etc.
Basically, the national youth training is completed after the national Olympic training, and the national Olympic training is completed after the national football training.
For half a year, Zeng Zheng was either leading the team for training or on the way to lead the team for training.
Although busy, the results obtained are gratifying.
During the training period in Spain, Zeng Zheng led the youth team and played a total of 6 solid friendly matches with the local club 2 teams, with results of 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.
In addition to the 2-0 Getafe B team, this also included a 3-2 narrow win over Bilbao B team and a 3-3 draw with Real Madrid B team.
Especially in the game against Real Madrid B team, the National Youth Team fell behind three times and equalized three times.
Chen Tao, who returned from injury, won the MVP award with one pass and one shot.
When Zeng Zheng led the team to leave after the game, the person in charge of Real Madrid insisted that Zeng Zheng leave the contact information of Chen Tao and others.
Even after the National Youth League returned to China, Spanish Bamboo Shoes specially sent people to the country to negotiate with Bamboo Shoes to see if they could build a bridge of "friendship and mutual assistance" among young people.
...
The National Olympics trip to South America can also be regarded as revisiting the old place.
Although the Jianlibao model has been stopped, domestic players will no longer be sent to Brazil under the official name.
But Jianlibao’s influence is deep-rooted here.
This time when he came to Brazil, Zeng Zheng discovered that there were Chinese faces in many local youth training camps. These were the children of local overseas Chinese.
From Rujetiba, the National Olympic Games went all the way to Sao Paulo.
We played a total of 5 games in 3 days and won all of them, once again leaving a great reputation in Brazil.
After leaving Brazil, he went to Paraguay and Uruguay next door and played a friendly match with the opponent's U23 team, winning both games 2-0.
...
Compared with the "big victories" coming from the National Youth and National Olympic Games on the front line, the results of the friendly matches of the National Football Team were somewhat unsatisfactory.
The Yugoslavia team, the national football team and local clubs played a total of two games, with a record of one win and one loss.
In the match against the Yugoslav national team, they lost to their opponents 4-5.
After returning from the South, Zeng Zheng said.
"The national football team is different from the youth army. The national team's games are always cruel."
"Youth teams can pick some weaker opponents to accumulate victories and gain morale, but the adult teams of each country have gone through years of accumulation, and their strength has basically been finalized."
"If the national football team wants to move from being second-tier in Asia to being first-rate in the world, it will have to go a long, long way."
"At present, we should pay more attention to the specific performance of the team members on the court."
"Such as fighting state, fighting spirit, and the strength of tactical execution."
"Instead of always focusing on the score, or the victory or defeat."
Zeng Zheng's answer made some fans dissatisfied
They believe that since Zeng Zheng became the head coach of the national team, his speech has become more and more "official" and he is more and more in line with the old and scholarly coaches in the past.
He was afraid that Zeng Zheng would be "assimilated" by his constitution.
As the day progresses, fans invariably focus on the China-South Korea football match that was interrupted for a year due to the Asian Football Qualifiers for the Olympic Games.
This is the fourth China-South Korea competition, and the venue is arranged at the Beijing Workers' Stadium.
The head coaches of both teams and their players had arrived in Beijing three days ago and were conducting adaptation training at the Workers' Stadium.
Since Europe was still in the summer window at this time, Zeng Zheng recalled almost all the international players who had studied abroad for this match between China and South Korea.
It is reported that relevant personnel from FIFA have ordered a videotape of this match from the tournament organizing committee to bring back to the headquarters.
There are also more than 30 cable TV stations across the country broadcasting the game live, and the reporting team from South Korea has already arrived in Beijing. Their two commentators will introduce the game to the domestic audience at the Workers' Stadium.
Before the game, according to the voting statistics of Jiulang.com.
63% of fans believe that the national football team will win, 31% of fans think that South Korea will win, and only 6% of fans think that the two sides will tie.
Although in the Olympic qualifiers, Zeng Zheng led the National Olympics to break the Korean phobia.
But at the national team level, the national football team has never defeated its opponents in a head-on match.
Not only that, after the defeat of the South Korean National Olympic Games, it is inevitable to form new ties with the national football team.
In this match between China and South Korea, Xu Dingmao may take this opportunity to cheer for his country's Olympic Games.
Therefore, domestic fans also attach great importance to this game.
Whether we can truly defeat the fear of Korea depends on this!
Right from the start, South Korea showed a strong desire to attack.
Their control and pressing in the frontcourt put a lot of pressure on the national football team. However, they were never able to get a shot in the face of the national football team's steady defense.
The first shot of the game was taken by Li Jinyu.
At that time, he received a long pass from Li Tie, took two horizontal steps at the edge of the opponent's penalty area, found an opportunity, and decisively shot a long shot.
It was confiscated by South Korean goalkeeper Kim Yong-dae.
After this shot, the national football team gradually organized an effective attack.
Sun Jihai and Zhang Xiaorui on the right; Wu Chengying and Shen Si on the left. The two fronts pose a great threat to South Korea.
Soon, the national football team created a threatening attack.
In the 9th minute, Su Maozhen received a pass from Shen Si from the left, grabbed the spot in front of the goal and shot with his left foot, but the ball missed the goal post.
After that, the national football team relied on its compact formation to firmly control the situation on the field.
In the next ten minutes, South Korea was kept in their own half.
But because he was still a little rusty in handling key balls, he never scored a goal.
"grass!"
"If you have to kick, just kick it!"
"What do I usually train you for?"
"It's really fun to play hard on weekdays."
"How come when we get to the field, everyone is too weak to shoot?"
Li Huajun, who had a "teaching assistant" sign hanging beside him, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zeng Zheng.
"Coach Zeng, why do I feel that the players are not afraid to shoot, but they don't want to shoot?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Nonsense!" Zeng Zheng, who was getting angry, rolled his eyes.
How could he not see it?
This group of players don't shoot, which is really different from the previous national players who didn't dare to shoot easily. They are too cautious, always feel that their chances are not the highest, and always want to create better opportunities.
As a result, the current "humility" situation has been formed.
But in Zeng Zheng's eyes, this is "over-interpretation" of his own tactics.
After taking a sip of water, Zeng Zheng slowly calmed down.
Although Li Huajun didn't pay attention to his swear words, Zeng Zheng began to reflect on his own.
Are you being too harsh?
Why are these disciples who have been brought up from childhood all afraid of me?
In addition, he always likes to use thousands of miles of sound transmission to direct from the sidelines. When he gets to the court, will these players feel that they are deliberately spying on him?
Thinking of this, Zeng Zheng decided to go back to his seat and rest for a while.
Let's see what these players can do without their own leader.
Sure enough, after Zeng Zheng's words "went off", the national football team launched two threatening attacks in a row.
In the 23rd and 26th minutes, Shen Si passed the ball from the left to the center of the penalty area. Su Maozhen and Yang Chen made a clever shot with their heel and a lion head shake.
As a result, the former missed the post and the latter hit the crossbar.
Of course, South Korea will not surrender.
In the 30th minute, Park Jin-seop shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, but goalkeeper Gao Jianbin lifted the crossbar with one palm.
In this game, Zeng Zheng did not use the "Queen Goalkeeper" Ou Chuliang, but used Sichuan Army General Gao Jianbin.
Gao Lao has also made many fans realize that Jiang Jin may also follow his elder brother Jiang Hong and slowly leave the national team.
After that, South Korea, which had been suppressed for too long, had several opportunities. The most threatening one was in the 35th minute. Choi Yong-soo stopped the ball with his chest outside the penalty area, but was destroyed by Lee Hyun who arrived in time.
