In the 2026 World Cup, the qualifiers for the Chinese team are in an emergency.

The head coach got out of class, and the next day, Tang Zhenglong took office.

The incident immediately caused a sensation as the Chinese team only had one final match left in the qualifiers against Iran.

The Chinese team must win away from Iran in order to participate in next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada, Mexico.

At such a time, even a slightly smarter person will not be able to wade into troubled waters.

But Tang Zhenglong took office.

This is either the greatest coach in the history of the national football team, or the stupidest coach in the history of the national football team.

What's even more bizarre is that Tang Zhenglong doesn't want an annual salary, if he enters the World Cup, he can give bonuses.

At the press conference, Tang Zhenglong said very simply.

"Anytime the national team needs me, I have no shirk and I will definitely come back to help the national team."

"Do you have faith?"

Tang Zhenglong shook his head.

"It's a bad situation now, we're one point behind Iran, and the next game is at the home of the Devils in Iran, so I think everyone knows how difficult it is."

The Chinese reporters in the audience were silent, the Iranians are thieves, their home stadium is a high-altitude area, and no one in the entire Asian qualifiers has won in their field.

It's like Bolivia in South America.

Tang Zhenglong shrugged, "But we don't have a choice, either we go to the World Cup, or the Iranians have the last laugh, it's as simple as that." ”

"See you in Tehran next week."

******

The plane slowly fell, and when they got off the plane, the Iranians were very sluggish, and everything for the Chinese team was the worst.

This made the national football team very annoyed, although everyone was an opponent, but when the Iranians were guests in China, the Chinese Football Association did not treat the other party badly, and they were entertained with good food and drink.

Tang Zhenglong did not go berserk, this is the psychological warfare of the Iranians, and the purpose is self-evident.

Coming to the hotel, the Chinese team began closed training.

Reporters were denied throughout the process, but from time to time some Iranians stepped forward to build rooftops in the distance.

Tang Zhenglong's coaching team is Zheng Zhi + Li Tie.

The two were ready to settle the matter, but this time Tang Zhenglong was serious.

"Go and call someone from the AFC organizing committee."

The organizing committee came, and it was a Qatari official.

Tang Zhenglong pointed to the Iranians in the distance.

"If you can't clear the game within half an hour, then please judge the Chinese team to win 3-0, and we will return to China immediately."

The other party is stupid.

"Don, I'm embarrassed by this."

"Really?"

"Hehe, kids, pack your things, let's go back."

When the Qataris saw it, they also became nervous.

West Asian people generally help West Asian people, but Tang Zhenglong is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and it is not so easy to fight with Tang Zhenglong.

If the Chinese team does withdraw from the competition, then it will be bad.

"I've gathered enough information, we'll see you in the AFC Arbitration Committee."

“……”

"Okay, give me half an hour, I'll go talk to the Iranians."

Soon, the Iranians disappeared and the Chinese team resumed training.

Zheng Zhi and Li Tie were puzzled.

Why did Tang Zhenglong not get mad when he lost his salute at the airport, but he was mad because of this incident?

Tang Zhenglong said with a smile: "The matter at the airport, the Iranian Football Association can completely shirk its responsibility, maybe it really has nothing to do with them, but stealing intelligence, this is completely the pot of the Iranians, and it is impossible for them to get rid of it." ”

"I see!!"

*****

At the pre-game press conference, Tang Zhenglong attended on time.

Tang Zhenglong is still so arrogant.

"I haven't lost to the Iranians since my first Asian Cup and I don't think it will be this time."

'But that was when you were a player, and now you're a manager.'

"As a manager, I led Cologne to the Bundesliga, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and my ability to coach Asian teams is more than enough."

At this time, a reporter hinted that Iran's plateau home field was unfair.

Tang Zhenglong said with a smile: "Fighting on the plateau is indeed very harmful to the players, and it may also cause sudden death, which is also the reason why the Iranians have such a big home advantage." ”

The Iranian journalist immediately retorted: "This is our home stadium, is it possible to go to another country to hold it?" ”

"I think the most important thing in football is the health of the players, and if that can't be guaranteed, then everything else is empty."

"I talked to some Chinese journalists yesterday, and they are struggling to walk, so if you think about it, let's play football, how difficult is that?"

"Then the Iranians are not suitable for playing in China, can they also ask for a different place to play?"

"Of course."

Burst.

Anyway, it's over, of course you can say that.

"I still say that the health of the players is above all else, and everything else is false."

*******

Iran is still a backward country, don't look at the stadium can seat 100,000 people, but the equipment is very old, so it is generally played in the afternoon, so as not to have bad lighting equipment.

In addition, the stadium must have been seriously overloaded on the national team break, and there were even many people sitting on the edge of the roof, which was quite dangerous.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team stepped onto the lawn and began this game of life and death.

Tang Zhenglong gave the order to die and must score.

This kind of game is life and death, there is no middle ground at all.

After the start of the game, the Iranians took advantage of the highland battle and launched a tidal attack on the Chinese team.

Iran's striker Azmoun crushed the Chinese defence.

Azmoun is at the level that he can play in the top five leagues.

After several crushes, there was a gap in the Chinese team's defense, and Azmoun faced the goalkeeper directly.

A shot on goal, the ball hit the post, and the audience screamed.

Tang Zhenglong has been to this stadium many times, and it is very difficult every time, but this time it must be the most difficult, because this time Tang Zhenglong is a spectator.

Zheng Zhi and Li Tie have also been abused by this stadium.

The hard time is still fresh in my memory.

"It's okay, just hold on for the first half." Tang Zhenglong comforted his two assistant teachers.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team struggled to hold the score of 0-0, and the possession rate was miserable, and the Chinese team was in an absolute weakness with 30% possession.

In the locker room, Tang Zhenglong asked everyone to do a relaxing massage and inhale oxygen, and didn't say much, at this time the fate was no longer in the hands of the Chinese team itself, and Tang Zhenglong didn't want to criticize these young people too much.

Before the second half, Tang Zhenglong hugged his players one by one.

"I hope to bring my good fortune to you, I've been in three World Cups and now it's your turn."

The veterans are gone, and the young people don't take responsibility right away, so it's not easy.

Zheng Zhi and Li Tie were the last to come out.

"Long Long, can the children withstand it?"

Li Tie smiled: "I was so nervous when I played the qualifiers for the first time. ”

"Hehe, it's man-made."
