World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 335 Iranian tricks

"The Chinese team is a magical and tenacious team."

"We underestimated the Chinese team."

"They are definitely qualified to qualify for the World Cup finals!"

In the post-match press conference, the Qatar coach was not stingy.

In the game that just ended, his team did have a chance to score a point in the away game, and even had a chance to keep the home team from getting a point.

But all of this eventually came to naught under the waves of Qu Bo's world.

Since it failed to achieve the effect of "sniping", it is better to let go, say something good, and build a good relationship with the Chinese team.

Zeng Zheng, who won the victory, once again confirmed the title of "magic coach" in front of the home fans.

Unfortunately, the news came the next day that the Iranian team also won.

In this way, even if the Chinese team has 7 games, 6 wins and 1 tie with 19 points, it cannot guarantee to pay in advance.

The fans who were stranded in Shencheng also left sadly after hearing the news.

It is always a pity that we were not able to celebrate qualifying at home.

Even so, the fans still have great confidence in Zeng Zheng and the team.

Because no matter what, the second place in the group has been firmly determined.

Even if they fail to win the first place in the group, they still qualify for the play-offs.

So fans of this World Cup are more tolerant than previous World Cups.

"Hey, how many points do we have? This will be put on hold in the last session, okay?!"

"Yeah, we haven't lost a single game in 7 games, but we haven't been able to qualify yet. Are we too unlucky?"

"What happened to those three teams, why didn't they even win a game?"

"From this point of view, it's not that the Iranian team is too strong, but that the other three teams are too weak!"

"It is estimated that we played too hard and kicked the three of them out early, which made these three teams not in the mood to play."

"Hey, no matter what, we can win Iran at home and we can win away!"

"Yes, we must trust Coach Zeng and these national players!"

This year is really outrageous.

The three teams of Thailand, Qatar and Bahrain did not pose any threat to the Chinese team or the Iranian team.

At present, the Iranian team has one game less, with a record of 5 wins, 1 loss and 15 points.

As long as they beat the Chinese team at home in the next game, they have every chance to win the first place in the group and directly qualify for the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

From this point of view, the Chinese team's schedule is too disadvantaged.

And this last top ten match has also become the focus of deciding the life and death of the Chinese team.

Fortunately, the initiative is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese team themselves.

"As long as the next game is tied, the Chinese team will be 100% sure to advance!"

On the day when Zeng Zheng led his team to board the plane, the "Beijing Daily" published such a headline.

A tie will qualify!
What a vision!
But the question is, is this draw really easy to win?
"There is nothing to say. For this 'final', my team members and I have been preparing for a long time."

"In the last game left, I guarantee that the team will play its best."

"Win the Iranian team in one fell swoop, so as to qualify for next year's World Cup as the number one in the group!"

"Here, I would like to thank fans and media friends across the country for their support."

"Just wait for the good news of our return in victory!"

"I have only one goal, and that is to qualify for next year's World Cup!"

"Kill~~~~ah!!!"

Zeng Zheng yelled at the screen, which also showed his determination to fans all over the country.

Since Zeng Zheng became the head coach, he has led the team to win so many championships.

This time, the fans still chose to believe!
After the plane left, Zeng Zheng's speech before leaving was also published by the media in their own newspapers.

Seeing Zeng Zheng's heroic momentum, the confidence of the fans has also increased a lot.

Since Zeng Zheng came to power, domestic football has grown at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Whether it is the youth training, or the league, or the players who went to Europe to study abroad, and now the Northwest Development.

Zeng Zheng, the club and Zhuxie took the lead to achieve the goal of revitalizing Chinese football in an all-round way.

Now, if you can enter the World Cup with an undefeated record in the top ten teams, doesn't this mean that Chinese football has made long-term progress?
For this reason, "Football Night" also made a special program of Zeng Zheng.

Since Zeng Zheng was ordered in the face of danger and miraculously led the team to the World Cup in France.

Asian Games, Asian Youth Championships, World Youth Championships, Olympic Games, Asian Cup, Confederations Cup.
Along the way, Zeng Zheng's Chinese team won awards and got soft.

Ou Chuliang, General Fan, Zhang Yanhua, Li Weifeng, Li Tie, Li Jinyu, Zhang Xiaorui, Zhang Ran, Yang Chen, Xie Hui, Zhang Yuxie, Zheng Zhi, Qu Bo, Su Maozhen, Xiao Wangtao, Shao Jiayi, Zhao Jun Zhe, Du Wei, Xu Liang.
From old to new, the national team has also stepped up to a new level while completing the renewal.

From defeating and destroying terrorism to South Korea, to infecting Japan and South Korea with terrorism, to kicking Saudi Arabia, punching Iran, taking revenge on Qatar, and then fighting against other continental powers such as Nigeria, Argentina, Brazil, and France.

Zeng Zheng not only led his team to dominate East Asia and conquer Asia, but also had the qualifications to challenge the world.

After watching the two-hour documentary, many netizens commented on the Internet.

"Along the way, under the leadership of Coach Zeng, I did not expect the Chinese team to have such a big qualitative change!"

"The Chinese team, which couldn't even win an Asian Games championship before, has now won the Confederations Cup. It's unbelievable!"

"From the youth team to the adult team, along the way, coach Zeng worked hard!"

"Not only the national team, but with the Jianglong team joining, I feel that A-A is also very exciting."

"That's right! A B is still not close. But looking at A A now, I think it has a lot of European football flavor!"

"It's not like European football, but there are really a lot of European stars playing in our league!"

"Now the domestic football population is increasing. I heard that the Chinese Super League will be established after the World Cup? If this can be as successful as the Premier League, then I won't have to stay up late to watch European games in the future!"

"After watching the Chinese team's game, my children also clamored to play football and win glory for the country!"

"Since the next Asian Cup will be held in our country, will the World Cup be held after the Asian Cup?"

"Our football is really strong!"

"All of this was brought about by Coach Zeng"

If the last World Cup was a coincidence, this World Cup is the most powerful one ever!
Time, location, people and harmony.

The Chinese team wins all three!
Looking at the plane disappearing into the sky, countless fans who saw off waved their arms.

Thousands of words can't be poured out, and finally converged into a blessing: "Thank you, Coach Zeng!"

Tehran is the capital of Iran, but it has never been a blessed place for the Chinese team.

However, since Zeng Zheng coached, the Iranian team has not defeated the Chinese team at home.

This is also where the confidence of domestic fans lies.

But for Iranian fans, they don't care too much about past records.

Because those are irrelevant or youth team games.

In the eyes of Iranian fans, the scores of the world preliminaries are more worthy of reference.

In the last two world preliminaries, the results of the Chinese team were not satisfactory.

So when the Chinese team arrived in Tehran, in order not to be disturbed by the local fans, the embassy specially sent someone to pick it up, and then led the team to settle in the independent hotel.

The people here also know it.

It's time for the Chinese team to fight to the death.

So for this game, a special hotel was specially arranged for the Chinese players.

"This TM is the special hotel for the Chinese team?"

Looking at the dilapidated building in front of him, Zeng Zheng almost swallowed the reception official alive.

Not only Zeng Zheng, but even Jin Chi showed dissatisfaction.

"Reception Li, you must give me a reasonable explanation!"

Faced with Ma Kejian's questioning, the reception officials also looked helpless.

"Captain Ma, I can't help it either!"

"There are indeed better hotels in Tehran, but didn't we ask that we want to book one?"

"It's right to contract it! But just contract it? It's not like we won't pay him!"

Receptionist Li looked helpless, "Money is not a problem. There are many sponsorships from Zhu Xie. But the problem is that the local residents of Tehran still support their team very much on this point."

Li Reception didn't finish his speech, but everyone knew what the other party meant.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zeng Zheng spread his hands, "In other words, we didn't give enough money!"

Without waiting for the faces of the people in front of him to change, Zeng Zheng continued, "In this case, let's score more penalties and it's over!"

"Aren't these Persians hospitable?"

"Then don't blame us for turning against customers!"

Hearing Zeng Zheng's "crazy words", Ma Jian smiled.

"Receptionist Li, don't worry, Coach Zeng has this temper."

"Hey?! Where is that? I just like Coach Zeng's character, or I wouldn't be his fan!"

Compared with the accommodation conditions in the first three away games, the hotel facilities in Tehran are too old, and the food situation is also very worrying.

Just looking at the food served on the table, not many people in the whole team could eat it.

But fortunately, the team brought a lot of instant noodles, pickled mustard, canned food and condiments randomly, and what the players ate was not completely nutritious.

"It's so hot, there's no air conditioner!"

"Did you see that mark on the wall? The air conditioner must have been removed temporarily. They deliberately disgusted us!"

"Speak less when you are hot, no one will treat you as a mute."

Hearing the complaints from his roommates, Li Jinyu turned over helplessly.

"We're not bad! If we came a month ago, wouldn't it be a hot dog?! Just think about Doha!"

indeed.

The time has entered October, and the weather in Tehran is also much cooler.

But with such accommodation conditions, coupled with the high temperature every now and then, everyone prayed for a cooler day on the day of the game.

On October 10, before the bus saw the stadium, it was surrounded by Iranian fans.

Although he couldn't understand the other party's bird language, judging from his expression, it was obviously some kind of angry curse.

"We don't look welcome!" Yang Chen secretly looked out through the gap in the curtain.

"It's just reciprocity!" General Fan laughed, "Our fans in Shenyang didn't bypass them either!"

"Damn it, they're pretending to be B!" Zhang Xiaorui suddenly yelled.

Everyone looked out along the opened curtains, and a group of Iranian fans pointed at the Chinese players with four fingers.

4?

what does this mean?
"Are these Bs members of some sort of cult whose teaching is to cut off thumbs?"

"Fart! They mean that every man can marry four wives here! Damn, four wives, can you handle it?!"

Hearing Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui's stupid speech, everyone immediately hid aside.

Obviously, these Iranians didn't join some kind of cult and get their thumbs cut off, or that a man here can marry four women.

Instead, they are going to score four goals for the Chinese team!
“Old Iranian way!”

Zeng Zheng sat in the first row, sipping tea leisurely.

"Every time I come here, they will show me these four fingers."

"No innovation at all."

"Let's also stretch out four fingers when we get off the bus, and see how they respond?"

The crowd laughed.

Just at the beginning of the year, Zeng Zheng played his opponent 4-0 here.

As the bus moved slowly, the outline of the Azadi Stadium gradually appeared in front of everyone.

Azhar Stadium was originally named Al Yamehr Stadium, which translates to the light of the Aryans, which is also the title of the last Iranian king, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

It sounds quite high-end, but when translated into Mandarin, it is like a place called "Puyi Football Stadium" outside the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing.

Very earthy!
As the driver slowly stepped on the accelerator, the bus began to climb uphill.

As the gates of the stadium get closer and closer, the fans are getting more and more, and the speed of the car is getting slower and slower.

If it weren't for Ya Zhulian watching from the sidelines, these fans would have surrounded the bus directly to prevent the Chinese team from entering the stadium.

So far, the Chinese team has not lost in the world preliminaries.

Also won against Iran at home.

In this way, if the Iranian team wants to make a comeback, it must win the Chinese team at home.

So this game is not only a battle of life and death for the Chinese team, but also a battle of life and death for the Iranians!

Fans in Tehran have been causing troubles for the Chinese team since the first day the Chinese team arrived.

From accommodation to training, from eating to traveling, local residents of Tehran have always been harassing.

The local government doesn't care about this kind of thing at all.

In their words, this is a spontaneous act of the people, and at most a few policemen who don't work hard are sent to expel them.

But in the end, even the police joined in the harassment, leaving the Chinese team gnashing their teeth.

But so what?
In other people's territory, let's keep our heads down and be a man!

The appearance of the Azadi Stadium is like an inverted bowl, built on an artificial hillside.

This slope is like the shell of the stadium, and the slope is decorated with patterns with Iranian characteristics.

Go up the hill to reach the upper stands of the stadium.

The tunnel under the ramp is the entrance to the lower stands.

From here, it's graded.

As the bus slowly went up, most of the fans were stopped here.

But there are still some "high-end" fans gathered around the bus, continuing to disgust the Chinese players.

"No need to peek outside!"

Zeng Zheng complained, "You guys are really too!"

"Knowing that there is a pile of cow dung outside, you keep peeking."

"I really don't know where I learned the habit!"

That said, but what the Iranian fans did was really disgusting.

Just when everyone took a deep breath and wanted to completely get rid of the interference from the opponent's fans, a familiar singing voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"How many years, together, bear the wind and rain!"

"Flowers fall, flowers bloom, there will be a time. Hold your head up!"

"How many years, pain and injury, turned into vicissitudes in an instant!"

"The tide rises, the tide falls, the sadness and the strength, all for that glory!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaorui hurriedly opened the curtains.

Looking around, a piece of red came into view.

"Fuck?! They are our fans!"

"Look, everyone, they are our fans!"

The fans outside the window saw the curtains being lifted one by one, and they sang even more vigorously.

"We wait for that day!"

"The day of victory!"

"We wait for that day!"

"The day of victory!"

"We wait for that day!"

"The day of victory!!!"

This is a rock song specially arranged by Zang Tianshuo for the national team before the top ten competition, called "The Brilliant Day".

Before almost every game, all David TV will broadcast.

After a few months, not only the players are familiar with it, but the fans are also familiar with it.

In the crowd, the team members saw many familiar faces.

All the way through mountains and rivers, wherever the Chinese team goes, this group of lovely fans will follow!

After seeing the players waving, Rossi took off his iconic cowboy hat and waved at the players as well.

This group of lovely Chinese fans formed a protective cover around the bus and isolated them from those hateful Iranian fans.

At the same time, Zeng Zheng stretched out his neck from the car window and shouted, "Team China, come on!"

"Chinese team, come on!" The players shouted in unison.

"Team China, come on!!!" The fans who finished singing also echoed loudly.

"The Chinese team must win!"

"The Chinese team must win!!"

"The Chinese team must win!!!"

The Chinese team members, who had a gloomy face just now, swept away the haze amidst bursts of slogans, and their fighting spirit was passionate.

squeak~~~
bang! ! !

The person on the bus swayed, and the moving car stopped suddenly.

"Fuck, master, what's going on?"

As a coach and translator, Zeng Zheng asked immediately.

"Sorry, there is a little problem with the car." The driver with a big belly turned around and looked at Zeng Zheng with disdain.

"The car is off."

"Please get out of the car, everyone."

"The rest of the way, you can walk forward on your own!"

Looking at the VIP entrance not far away, and looking at the mustache driver with a smirk in his eyes, Zeng Zheng understood everything at once.

At this moment, he wished he could pick up the laptop in his hand and slap him hard on the face.

"Fuck N!"

"You are cruel!"

"Row!"

"Let's go!"

Zeng Zheng pointed a civilized finger at the other party, and was the first to get off the bus.

With the help of security and fans, the players lined up and walked for about 10 minutes before arriving at the VIP gate.

Until the last team member entered the aisle, the misfiring bus suddenly heard a series of "potting" engine sounds.

Amidst the cheers of the local fans, he gracefully turned around and drove in the direction he came from.

　I have surgery tomorrow.
