Chapter 967: The opening battle capsized

On January 7, the opening match of the Asian Cup, the ambitious Qatar faced Uzbekistan.

The final result was a shocking result, with Uzbekistan beating Qatar 2-0.

The reason for the shock is that this Qatari team not only brings together the best players in the country, but also naturalized players.

It was widely expected that Qatar would defeat Uzbekistan, but this was not expected.

The Chinese team also watched the game at the hotel.

"Damn, that's all? Spent tens of billions to hit this level? ”

Zhu Guanghu is not so lightly opposed.

"In fact, Qatar's strength is above the opponent, but after the first accidental goal, the team is in chaos, and the pressure of the host is a double-edged sword."

"This is not good news for our Chinese team."

Han Peng wondered: "Director Zhu, this has something to do with us?" ”

Zhu Guanghu glared at Han Peng fiercely.

"Qatar lost the first game, they will definitely fight hard in the second game, you just think about it."

"You're not afraid, are you? We've got Brother Long. ”

"Football is an 11-man sport, do you need me to give you a make-up lesson?"

The rest snickered.

"Hehehehe."

Tang Zhenglong made a gesture to wipe his neck, which means that you are finished.

"Tomorrow afternoon is our game against Kuwait, so let's play this game with all our might, we have to prepare well."

******

Zhu Guanghu called Tang Zhenglong to his room.

"Boss, are you trying to sneak me?" Tang Zhenglong smiled.

“……”

"Zhenglong, I know you're strong, but your current mood is not a good thing for the team."

Zhu Guanghu's tone was very heavy, and Tang Zhenglong immediately became serious.

"No, wouldn't it be easy enough?"

"Ease is not bad, but attitude, we are already a light enemy now, you look at the opening game, isn't Qatar also a light enemy?"

Tang Zhenglong understood.

"I'm sorry, Director Zhu."

"Especially that Han Peng, as if the Asian Cup is his family."

"Yes, yes, what Director Zhu said is that I will criticize him later."

"Hmm."

"Don, defending the Asian Cup is my goal, but if you have that attitude, then I don't think the end result will be too good."

"I see, boss."

*****

Before the match against Kuwait, the AFC had a brief press conference, which Tang Zhenglong attended.

The focus of the reporters is on Tang Zhenglong alone.

"Don, how many are you going to enter?"

If it was before talking to Zhu Guanghu, then Tang Zhenglong would definitely start bragging, but now ......

"Hehe, this is the Asian Cup, the highest stage of Asian football, I won't underestimate the enemy, I don't think the game with Kuwait will be so easy."

Burst.

Tang Zhenglong began to pretend to be X.

"Tang, you didn't say that before, you said that the champion must be the Chinese team."

"That's me bragging, can't you? That's who I am, I'm very involved in the actual game, that's why I'm where I am today, do you know the Ballon d'Or? ”

……

……

"Don, this is the Asian Cup, what are you doing with the Golden Globe?"

"Golden Globes, Golden Globes, Golden Globes, I'll just say Golden Globes, blind you."

……

……

"Don, since you attach so much importance to Kuwait, may I ask who is the head coach of Kuwait?"

Tang Zhenglong was dumbfounded, how could he know, he did this to make Zhu Guanghu happy.

"Golan, his name is Golan." Zhu Guanghu shouted at the TV in the background.

"Tang Zhenglong, this guy probably can't even write three words Kuwait."

That's right!!

"Kuwaiti manager?"

"Don, if you don't know to put it bluntly, we all know you're a megalomaniac."

“……”

"Hehe, how could I not know."

"That's right."

"I forgot."

Burst.

"Well, the whole Kuwaiti team is up and down, as long as you can name it, even if you know Kuwait."

Tang Zhenglong was stunned again.

"Hey, the name of an Arab is so long, how can I, as a Chinese, know it?"

"Besides, we all look at the numbers when we play, and I can name the opponent's number, number 9, number 10."

What is this?

"Don, can you tell you the truth, you don't know who your opponent is, right?"

“……”

"Don, do you know this is Qatar?"

"Nonsense!! When I'm an idiot!! ”

"We thought your spirit was still in Madrid!!"

"Well, one last question, what color is the jersey in Kuwait?"

“……”

Tang Zhenglong was stunned, and the reporter stood up and left.

"Don't go, White? Right? ”

"Black?"

"Green?"

"It's blue." Zhu Guanghu came from the backstage.

"Director Zhu, you can't blame me for this, the opponent's problem is too tricky."

Zhu Guanghu said angrily: "When I take a tactical class, even if you look at the big screen, you won't know the color of the opponent's jersey." ”

"It's over, now all of Asia is taking us for megalomaniacs."

“……”

"I'm sorry, Director Zhu."

Zhu Guanghu patted Tang Zhenglong's shoulder, "Forget it." ”

*******

The afternoon game is scheduled at 1 o'clock Qatar time, which is for the convenience of East Asian broadcasting, but it is difficult for both sides of the game to play at this strange time.

"Damn, I'm still taking a nap at this time."

"Haha."

Tang Zhenglong is not joking, Spaniards like to take a nap.

"Still taking a nap? They all cheered me up. Zhu Guanghu roared.

"It's time to play, remember my words, don't underestimate the enemy."

"Yes."

After all, Kuwait is also an Asian team that has participated in the World Cup, and the 1982 World Cup qualifiers in Spain are the problem is to beat China and Saudi Arabia and qualify for the World Cup, which is also the most glorious moment in the history of the country's football.

Kuwait were in the same group as Czechoslovakia, England and France in the group stage, with Kuwait drawing 1-1 with Czechoslovakia and then losing 1-4 and 0-1 to France and England respectively to exit the group stage.

However, the teams in Asia that have participated in the World Cup are considered strong teams, such as Group A where the Chinese team is located, and only Kuwait and the Chinese team have participated in the World Cup.

Zhu Guanghu walked towards the opposing head coach Golan, but the other party did not extend his hand.

"Is it necessary to shake hands with opponents who don't even know the color of our jerseys?" Golan turned to leave.

Zhu Guanghu was stunned there, a little embarrassed, but if the opponent didn't know the color of the Chinese team's jersey, would Zhu Guanghu still be able to shake hands with him?

"Tang Zhenglong!! How much trouble you're causing me, you'd better score for me, or ...... I can't spare you after the game. ”

The national anthems of both sides are played, and the game is about to begin.
