Chapter 323 Three Indispensable People(1/2)
Raise your glass to the bright moon and make three people in the shadows.
Facing the bright moon in West Asia, Zeng Zheng was wearing a pair of beach shorts, lying on a beach chair, and leisurely sipping the drink in his hand.
Zeng Zheng fulfilled his promise.
After the game, I took the team members to have a good day's rest in Doha.
After being behind for a long time, the opponent's center post popped up in a thrilling way, Ou Chuliang's miraculous single shot was resolved, and the players flew in to block the eye-catching shot again and again...
Scenes of passive and thrilling scenes were made into edited videos after the game and were rotated by major TV stations.
Until the final stage of the game, Ou Chuliang still struggled to save himself by diving several times.
Such a thrilling game made almost every fan hold their breath.
Fortunately, the score was tied in the end!
To be fair, the strength of the Qatar team is not extraordinary.
The hot weather in Doha is the biggest key to the performance of the Chinese team.
But Zeng Zheng's determination and courage were also unique.
For this point, I even gave up my briefs in front of the media.
Judging from the results, the victory in the draw not only helped the Chinese team get a valuable point, but also caused Qatar to lose the opportunity to take all three points, and it also helped the Iranian team to be ahead of its opponent in the indirect confrontation.
Now looking back at Li Weifeng's header at the last moment, it is really precious!
When we meet again, we don't drink anything and go back. The peach blossoms at the entrance of the cave also smile.
The evening breeze from West Asia blew by, giving the happy people at the beach a brief moment of comfort.
...
After three rounds in Group A of the top ten, the Chinese team ranked first with two wins and one draw.
Then there is Iran, which has one game in hand and has won both games, followed by Qatar, which has two draws, Bahrain, which has one game in hand and one draw, and Thailand, which has one game in hand and has 0 points.
In terms of points, the Chinese and Iranian teams have already left the other three teams far behind as the media expected.
If the two teams are not careful, they may be left behind by their competitors.
The difference between the first place in the group and the second place in the group is quite big.
The first place in the group can directly take the direct train to Japan and South Korea. The second place in the group will not only have to compete with the second place in Group B, but also have two rounds of battles with teams from other continents.
Playing 4 more games to get to the World Cup is far inferior to solving the problem directly in the top ten.
This trip to West Asia can be said to be perfect.
One win and one draw, completing Zeng Zheng’s pre-game away mission ahead of schedule.
As long as they win two games at home, the Chinese team's points will reach 15 points, and the top two spots in the group can be completely determined.
Although the night in Shenyang in early September was already a bit chilly, when the Chinese team returned from Doha to Shenyang and walked out of Taoxian Airport, they were still warmly welcomed by hundreds of Shenyang fans.
The return from the Western Expedition can be called a "triumph".
Judging from the schedule, the most difficult game for the Chinese team is the away game against the Iranian team in Tehran.
But it was already October.
The weather in West Asia is far less hot than it is now, so even if they face Iran's devilish home court, the Chinese team will not be tested by the high temperature like this time.
Of course, that was also the last game of the top ten tournament for the Chinese team.
Judging from the tactics arranged by Zeng Zheng, if we really secure the first place in the group two rounds in advance, it would not be a bad idea to take the Chinese Youth Team to that game.
This is also what the Iranian team is worried about.
In order to welcome the triumphant return of the Chinese team, the Shencheng police blocked the 20-meter stretch between the exit of the airport terminal and the entrance of the Chinese team's car half an hour in advance.
A platoon of armed police soldiers who came specifically for "reinforcement" stood in two lines to create a special passage for the Chinese team from the staff entry entrance - the stairs - the terminal exit, so that the international football team could board unimpeded.
Get on a special car.
The fans are undoubtedly the happiest group.
Heading to the airport to greet hundreds of fans, they beat gongs and drums and shouted slogans: "The Chinese team must win."
A female fan from Fushun put up a touching slogan: "Brothers, let our hearts cry with excitement again."
Before the plane even landed, the fans sang "Ode to the Motherland" in unison.
When the national players showed their faces one by one, they sang "The sun sets over the western mountains and the red clouds fly, the soldiers return to the camp from target practice..."
Compared with the jubilant fans, the international players looked quite tired after their long journey.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the fans, the national players tried their best to cheer up and wave to the fans and the crowd.
"Yang Chen, good job!"
"Big head, it's a good one!"
"Zhang Yuheng, I love you!"
Fans shouted to their beloved stars and sent blessings in unique ways.
Facing the enthusiastic Northeastern fans, General Fan and Ou Chuliang didn't go far before their hands were stuffed with small gifts.
Zeng Zheng wore the same beach shorts, slippers and a light blue shirt he wore in Doha.
When he wore sunglasses and walked out of several games with Jin Chi, all the fans became commotion.
"Coach Zeng, Coach Zeng!"
"Coach Zeng, look here!"
Fans rushed to raise their cameras, flashes flashing.
Facing so many crazy fans, Zeng Zheng did not forget to jokingly make a "V" gesture.
"Look, the two coaches and the fans are still very reasonable."
Jin and Chi looked at each other, and Chi Shangbin sighed, "If Wei Feng hadn't scored a goal against Qatar, these fans would have changed their slogans today."
With that said, Chi Shangbin looked at the "True Heroes" banner that Zeng Zheng had just accepted and shook his head.
He felt that he was really OUT.
I can't understand what the fans are thinking at all.
"It's actually nothing difficult to understand."
"Although the fans are not as professional as us, they don't understand football."
"We have achieved the greatest results from our trip to West Asia. Of course they will be happy from the bottom of their hearts."
The biggest result?
Chi Shangbin frowned, "Isn't the biggest result that we won both games?"
"of course not."
Zeng Zheng shook his head and gave a simple explanation:
"I can easily win against Bahrain and Qatar in an away game."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But is scoring 6 points against these two teams a victory?"
"Two coaches, don't forget, our opponent in the next game is Iran!"
"Let's assume now that in order to gain 6 points in this trip to West Asia, we bring back a group of injured players and suspended main players."
"How can we play against Iran in the next game at home?"
"Compare it now."
"Although we only scored 4 points, we didn't lose a game and we are still at the top of the standings."
"In terms of injured players, only Yang Pu is seriously injured and needs some time to rest. Other players such as Zhao Junzhe, Xu Yunlong, and Qu Bo can barely play if they continue to play."
"In terms of red and yellow cards, no one has been suspended cumulatively."
"I simply did some statistics."
"The ten members of our team, Li Tie, Yang Chen, Li Jinyu, Zhang Xiaorui, Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe, Shen Si, Qi Hong, General Fan, and Li Weifeng, have yellow cards."
"But so what?"
"Even if these 10 players get cards in the next game and are suspended, the most important game against Iran will be missed."
"If we can win the next game, what if I bring 18 new people to Bangkok?"
"So, the current result is the best result."
"If you don't understand yet, look at the smiles on these fans' faces."
"Whether they are speaking from the heart or are being deceived by the organizers, you can tell at a glance."
Chi Shangbin said nothing after hearing this.
He also learned a lot from Zeng Zheng in the past two years.
