The home match against Iran is on September 8th.

It’s all calculated, and there’s still less than a week left.

"Five days is indeed a short time, but we will make full use of these five days and try our best to defeat our opponents!"

This is the promise Zeng Zheng made to the fans before the game.

Because this is the last group match of the first stage of the Chinese team, the team will take a week off after the game.

Moreover, the opponent was the strongest opponent in the group, Iran. Zeng Zheng called back almost all the overseas players this time.

and tell them.

If we can win this game, maybe the remaining top ten games can really be used for training.

With Zeng Zheng's "commitment", those European clubs that were already on track for the new season finally had to choose to let him go.

For this matter, Zeng Zheng also received calls from Juventus, Liverpool, Sevilla and other European clubs, asking whether what he said was true.

These clubs are not buying Chinese players just to let them sit on the bench and watch the show.

...

“I don’t need to say anything about this game, everyone must know its importance.”

"Just by reading these newspapers and news, you can tell that this group of media has caused a huge commotion."

After morning training, the players returned to the locker room one after another.

Zeng Zhenghe and the coaching staff came to the conference room.

After returning to Shen, Zeng Zheng changed his "laziness" from Doha.

I am immersed in work almost every day.

"Boss Zeng, these are the statistics of the Iranian team's first two games."

Zeng Zheng nodded and posted it on the small blackboard behind him.

Iran's opponents in the first two games were Qatar and Thailand.

2-0 Qatar at home and 1-0 Thailand away.

Especially the game against Qatar.

Iran's ball possession rate is not as good as it should be, only around 52.

There were less than 10 shots in the game, and only 4 were on target.

"What does this mean?"

Facing Zeng Zheng's inquiry, the room was completely silent.

Later, Zeng Zheng announced the answer himself.

"This shows that old boy Blazevic is also preserving his strength."

"Look at their level in the first stage of the qualifiers. I won't say more about this."

As he spoke, Zeng Zheng slapped a stack of information on the table.

"They were promoted just like us, almost in a crushing manner."

"But it got weaker in the Big Ten?"

"Obviously not."

"So it is certain that the Iranian team is also accumulating strength and preparing to surprise us in the away game."

"What I'm most worried about right now is actually this guy."

As he spoke, Zeng Zheng flipped the information about the Iranian team to a photo of a person.

It's Aziz.

"This guy was substituted due to injury in the 63rd minute against Thailand."

"Injured?" Several other coaches were a little surprised.

"Who knows!"

Zeng Zheng spread his hands and said, "People say you are injured, but you are injured."

"As for where and what kind of injury it is, the Iranian team is very strict about keeping it secret."

"Even their country's media doesn't know."

"So all this will have to be revealed after they come to Shenyang."

"In my opinion, whenever Aziz appears on the training ground, it's just a smoke bomb."

Some teaching assistants at the scene heard this and quickly recorded it in their notebooks.

They are not only bamboo shoes' monitors, but also Zeng Zheng's microphones.

What Zeng Zheng said here today will reach Zhu Xie in a few hours.

When the Iranian team arrives in Shenyang tomorrow, there will be a large group of reporters assigned "missions" to investigate for Zeng Zheng.

In the latest FIFA rankings, the Iranian team has 610 points, ranking 38th in the world and fourth in Asia.

The Chinese team ranks first in Asia and 15th in the world, with 695 points.

There seems to be no comparison.

But there is a problem. Since Zeng Zheng coached the Chinese team, the Chinese team has never met the Iranian team in a major competition.

Like the Ancient Civilizations Cup at the beginning of this year and the Asian Games the year before last, the nature of these games is more like friendly matches, where you need to know the strength of your opponents.

Just like the last World Cup qualifiers.

The Chinese team did not take the Iranian team seriously before the game, and even kicked off a 2-0 climax in the first half.

But what is the result?

In the second half, Madavecchiana's ecstatic kick almost knocked Ou Chuliang out of his psychological shadow.

"In addition to Aziz, every Iranian player such as Alidai, Bagheri, and Madavikiya needs to be extremely careful."

Zeng Zheng briefly explained the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of these opponents, and the teaching assistants had two bases in mind.

"In general, after Blazevic's training, this Iranian team has been taking shape for a long time and is also very capable."

"It's okay if it's Saudi Arabia. We can still have traces to follow in the recent competitions."

"But as for Iran, the ancient Cup of Nations match at the beginning of the year has no reference value."

"If you are still immersed in the victory of that game, you may make the same mistake as Golden State in a few days."

"In my opinion, the Iranian team currently has no obvious weaknesses or shortcomings. The wing and center are well combined, and the age combination of old, middle and young is also very reasonable."

"Facing a team like this, in addition to fighting hard, home court advantage is a key."

"Everyone knows my plan, which is to make the last away game against Tehran completely useless and make the Iranians' home game completely useless."

"So we have to make good use of our home court today."

...

Wulihe Stadium.

The autumn breeze is refreshing.

The team members were engaged in a simple group competition on the field.

Han Tao was responsible for blowing the whistle as the referee, while Zeng Zheng mostly watched the game from the sidelines with his shoulders in his arms.

Under the sunglasses, Zeng Zheng's brows never straightened.

Hearing Zeng Zheng sigh, Chi Shangbin came over and asked.

"Xiao Zeng, isn't this a good kick? Why are you so angry?"

"Our passing success rate is very high, but our intention is too obvious."

Zeng Zheng was dissatisfied, "This will give the Iranian team more time to react."

"Let the team members pass the ball faster," Jin Zhiyang said.

"It's not a matter of speed, it's a matter of intention."

Zeng Zheng emphasized again, "In addition to Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu, including Sun Jihai, the players have all developed habits after getting used to playing in this formation."

"If the opponent finds the pattern, it can be predicted in advance."

"So this has nothing to do with fast passing and slow passing."

"Then what should we do?" Jin and Chi were a little anxious upon hearing this.

"It's also very simple. Just put the last player Iran is not familiar with in the ball position."

After saying that, Zeng Zheng rejected his own method first.

"However, this is also very risky."
