"Zeng will lead the Chinese team to the World Cup for the second time, and Bahrain is convinced!" - "Gulf Daily" wrote.

New players, new formation, and away from home again.

"The Chinese team got rid of the title of 'Dragon at Home, Worm at Away'." - "Sports Weekly" issued a deafening sigh.

"The biggest gain is to start innovating based on the maturity of the team!" - Laorong Weibo.

After the team won two consecutive rounds, the morale has soared!

Some fans even said that the Chinese team has already entered the World Cup with one leg.

But then Huang Jianxiang wrote an article saying that it was still too early!

Judging from the points situation, after winning consecutive home and away games, the Chinese team is already in a quite favorable position.

But this Top Ten Tournament is different from the last Top Ten Tournament.

In this article, Huang Jianxiang briefly analyzed the points situation.

The final conclusion was: "13 points or the lowest qualifying score for the group."

This is 1 point lower than the 14 points expected by Zeng Zheng.

Like the last top ten tournament, South Korea in Group B qualified with 16 points and a clear advantage.

The Chinese team in Group A qualified from Group A with 13 points, the same number of points as Saudi Arabia.

So the conclusion is that 13 points is the minimum score to qualify directly for first place in the group, and 15 points is the score to ensure qualifying for the group.

But under different conditions, the scores required to qualify will definitely be different.

If among the five teams in a group, two teams are of similar strength and the other three teams are relatively weak, this should be the most unfavorable situation.

Just like today's Chinese team and Iran.

As a result, the points required to qualify will inevitably increase, resulting in the situation of Japan and South Korea in the last top ten tournament.

At that time, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates basically failed to pose a threat to Japan and South Korea, resulting in South Korea's final qualifying score as high as 16 points.

And Xiaotian's 13 points only qualified for the play-offs.

Looking back now, the Chinese team was so lucky to qualify for the last World Cup!

The situation in Group A at that time was that the five teams were of similar strength and restrained each other.

In the final stage of the tournament, not only are the two sides locked in points, but even Kuwait, which has the lowest points, has the theoretical possibility of playing in the play-offs.

Therefore, it was not until the last moment of the last round that the Chinese team won the right to qualify first in the group with a goal difference advantage.

Whenever they think of Zeng Zheng's efforts to turn the tide at the last moment, many old fans feel excited in their hearts.

Still the same sentence: qualifying for the last World Cup was simply a stroke of luck!

It is precisely because this year’s top ten competition is different from the previous one.

After two consecutive victories, many knowledgeable people in the football world said that we cannot take it lightly.

The extremely complicated situation last year is rare to see in hundreds of years.

Having two absolutely powerful teams in the group like this one is the most realistic situation in the top ten games.

At present, the Chinese team is far ahead with 6 points, and no other opponent has won two consecutive games.

If you want to see the situation in Group A, you have to wait at least until the third round of the group stage is over before analyzing it.

...

Judging from the schedule, the Chinese team’s next opponent is Qatar.

Qatar currently has one draw and one loss, ranking second from the bottom in the group.

The Chinese team spent a week in Manama and basically adapted to the climate in West Asia.

At this time, we moved to Doha. There was less readjustment process and the distance was much closer.

From this aspect, the Chinese team took advantage of this game.

Some HG media said that although Qatar defeated the HG team twice (2:0 and 3:0) in the first round of the group stage, people in the HG football community did not think highly of the team.

In their view, it is not a problem for the Chinese team to win them!

"Did you see that? It's no big deal!"

"Fart! These media will make sarcastic remarks! Don't even look at it, what the hell is it now! Where are we playing football!"

"Manama is already hot enough, but won't it be roasted when we get to Doha?"

On the plane, after the international players read the newspaper, they all threw it aside with disdain.

There is air conditioning in the plane.

But everyone knows what the temperature outside is like.

In the limited time, everyone including the coaching staff greedily breathed the cool air in the cabin.

In a few hours, Doha will welcome everyone with even hotter weather.

...

"Gentlemen and girls, I'm so sorry!"

"The plane encountered turbulence during flight, and there will be some bumps next."

"The restroom is temporarily out of use. Passengers in the aisle are asked to return to their seats immediately, hold on to the handrails, fasten their seat belts, and use three grams of oil."

Amidst the calm voice of the stewardess, the plane began to shake from side to side.

Through the window of the plane, Zeng Zheng saw an iron plate on the wing being lifted up and then buckled down in the air.

It slapped back and forth loudly.

"Xiao Zeng, what's going on? Something happened to your kidney?"

Jin and Chi, who did not understand English, asked hurriedly.

"Ah, it's okay, it's just a little turbulent and a little bumpy."

If you and your team are on the plane, the plane will definitely not crash.

But Jin and Chi didn't know that.

At this moment, he was holding on to the armrest, trembling with fear.

"Why!"

"This is God dealing with us too!"

"We don't want three points in this away game. One point, one point is enough, okay?"

After Chi Shangbin nagged for a long time, the plane gradually calmed down and the bathroom was allowed to be used.

At noon, the plane landed at Doha Airport.

Before getting off the plane, Jin and Chi both came to Zeng Zheng's side and whispered:

"Xiao Zeng, I think we are in a bit of a pickle this time!"

"When God heard that we didn't want three points anymore, the bumps stopped."

"If you ask me, let's just let it go in this game and stop playing tricks!"

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes.

Before the ball was kicked, the two of them became superstitious.

God is in charge of wealth, fate, luck and feng shui. I have never heard of God taking care of football.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, a wave of heat hit me.

Many team members turned their faces away instantly in an attempt to avoid the sun.

The weather in Doha makes people feel like they have been in a big oven.

Many team members lowered their heads and hurriedly took a few steps to escape from areas exposed to the sun.

Zeng Zheng, on the other hand, calmly took out a big straw hat and a scarf from his luggage and wrapped his head tightly.

Seeing this, many team members lamented and complained that Zeng Zheng did not warn him in advance.

"What did you do to Zai Manama?"

"Just looking at pearls and souvenirs?"

"Don't you know what the weather is like in West Asia right now?"

"I am your coach, not your parent!"

"Teach you how to play football and teach you how to protect yourself from the sun?"

"If this continues, will I wipe your butts?"

After Zeng Zheng finished speaking, he saw Jin and Chi with dark faces before staring at him from behind.

Obviously, the nagging of the team members just now was caused by these two people.
