"I have always had my own standards for selecting personnel."

Before the Chinese youth team left, Zeng Zheng finally held a press conference that fans across the country loved to see.

"Which player is suitable and which player is not suitable."

"I look at his performance on the court, not his reputation in the media."

"I think you don't want me to bring a bunch of film and television stars to the Asian Youth Championship, right?"

The reporters burst into laughter after hearing this.

Although Zeng Zheng gave an explanation, it was not what they wanted to hear.

Why not bring Gaoming.

Where did that four-character brother come from?

Can it be explained by just one "on-court" performance?

But it’s true.

Play football!

What are you looking at if you don’t look at the performance on the field?

Depends on family background?

In short, Zeng Zheng only had these 20 people.

As for why we brought them, let the results speak for themselves.

On November 9, Yang Jun, Wang Ke, and Sun Xinbo were ultimately defeated due to overlapping positions.

Three coaches, Zeng Zheng, Tang Pengju and Chen Jingang, rushed to Yinlang and Tehran with 20 other middle and youth players.

In this Asian Youth Championship, the Chinese Youth Team is in the stronger Group B with South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and Yinlak.

For the Chinese Youth Team, the most threatening opponent is the old enemy South Korea.

The first group match between the two teams has naturally become the most hotly discussed topic among fans since Jianglong won the FA Cup.

Whether "not winning against South Korea" can really be transformed into "not losing against South Korea", fans are looking forward to it.

...

"Latest news from xx agency: The Chinese youth football team competing in the Asian Youth Football Championship (U19) arrived safely in Tehran at 0:10 a.m. local time on November 10 and stayed at the Rahel Hotel designated by the organizing committee."

For these young team members, it is the first time for some of them to go abroad.

As soon as I got off the plane, my two wide-eyed eyes looked around.

"This is Tehran? It's not as good as my hometown county!"

"Nonsense, don't even look where this is! This is West Asia, not Europe."

"I heard that Yin Lang does not allow female fans to watch the game. Is it true?"

"If even a fly in the stands is a male, then what's the point?"

Along the way, the team members were chattering outside the window.

When we arrived at the Rahel Hotel, our face was filled with disappointment.

This is an old five-star hotel with not very good conditions.

Five teams including South Korea, Little Days, Yinlak, Thailand and China Youth Team all live here.

The Chinese Youth Team lives on the sixth floor.

Perhaps this is the first time this hotel has hosted such a team, and the organization was quite chaotic.

The team members have already carried their luggage and walked out of the elevator.

But because there were still some guests who had not checked out and left, they had to stand in the corridor and wait for the staff to knock on the door one by one.

In addition, the dining situation is also quite chaotic.

When all the members of the Chinese Youth Team arrived at the restaurant the next day, they sat there for half an hour with nothing to eat.

Because the conditions are quite difficult.

After resting for a few hours, the team members got up one after another and prepared to participate in training.

After sitting in the restaurant for half an hour and having a bite of something, the whole team got on an old and dilapidated bus and drove towards the training ground with a bang.

"Damn it, what kind of conditions are these? Did this car just finish pulling animals?"

The smell inside the car is strong, and the smell outside the car is not small either.

Open the car window and dust and sand will blow into the car from time to time.

In this case, it is better to close the window.

"Let me tell you, you are lucky enough."

Zeng Zheng was sitting in the middle of the bus, talking like an old gentleman.

"I think back when I was in Brazil, there weren't even buses, only passengers."

"When I go to training in the morning, I can only pull half of the people at a time. After I finish pulling, I have to drive back to the base to pull the remaining half."

"This time, the first batch to arrive can train for more than an hour."

"It's the same at night."

"The first group of people had already washed their underwear after they returned, but the second group of people were still scratching their baskets on the yellow sand and gravel!"

Since there were no women in the car, Zeng Zheng joked unscrupulously.

Listening to Zeng Zheng talking about these past events and dirty jokes, the team members gradually became cheerful.

It happened to rain in Tehran on the day the Chinese Youth Team arrived.

The weather is cold and windy.

The bus drove for more than half an hour and arrived at the outfield of Azadi Stadium, which was the training venue for the Chinese Youth Team on the first day.

But the organizing committee's arrangements for the training ground are obviously in chaos.

Take a shot and move to another place.

When they went to train the next day, the Chinese youth team was moved to a stadium called Homa.

Since the game time is at 1 p.m., the internal matches of the Chinese Youth Team are also held at 1 p.m.

After two days of simple adaptation training, Zeng Zheng was still very satisfied.

No injuries or acclimatization.

Although food and accommodation are a bit difficult, luckily we can overcome it.

On the evening of the 11th, as soon as the Chinese youth team returned to the hotel after training, they met staff sent by the AFC.

After Tang Pengju gestured with the other party in half-baked English for a long time, he finally arrived at Zeng Zheng.

As soon as Zeng Zheng took action, all problems were solved.

Seeing Zeng Zheng being able to converse with foreigners in fluent foreign languages, these young men in their 18s and 19s all had stars in their eyes.

Except for Yan Song and Qu Bo, few others in the team can speak English.

"Coach Zeng, what's going on?"

Seeing Zeng Zheng return, Tang Pengju immediately asked.

"Check your age."

Zeng Zheng replied casually, "Didn't it be found out that U16 had falsified their age a few days ago? This time the AFC held a special meeting and must investigate this matter strictly."

"How to check?"

"Check them one by one!"

In this way, the Chinese Youth Team first submitted the English information of all members.

Then the staff will call the team members into the room individually and conduct verification one by one.

This set of procedures is cumbersome, extremely time-consuming, and often leads to misunderstandings that cannot be explained clearly.

These staff members not only required the team members to report their date of birth, but also required them to report their school, graduation certificate, etc.

When Chen Tao walked into the room, everyone's eyes were focused on his face.

"This kid is... 15 years old?"

"What's the matter, Commissioner Vardy? The AFC stipulates that overage cannot be exceeded. I should be fine at my young age, right?"

"Young age? This is too low!" Wadi muttered.

Even if the other teams are younger, they are at least sixteen or seventeen.

But Chen Tao directly lowered it to a lower level!
