Chapter 196: Is This Just Famous and Fearful?
This training list of the Macau team, not to mention the drooling of mainland fans, even the three teams in the same group are in fear, with the same three points of envy!
"I've made a lot of money in the past few years!"
Zhang Desheng looked at the lineup in front of him, and even he was very satisfied, especially the sense of accomplishment was directly full.
Of course he knows that if this lineup is placed in Europe, it is still a dog!
But in Asia, it is not inferior to Japan, South Korea, Isa and other teams in terms of immediate combat power, and it is far superior in terms of potential.
Therefore, Zhang Gongzi looked at this team cultivated by one hand, although he didn't see anything unusual on his face, he was already happy in his heart.
"Xiao Tu, do you dare to step out when you see those holes clearly?"
"Idiot, didn't your brother tell you that whether it is in the midfield or in the backfield, defensive positioning is a prerequisite for everything, and the saying that choice is greater than effort is the same when used in defense."
"Stupid, it's true to be rough and ferocious in defense, but if you lack delicate skills and cunning minds, you will never be on the table!"
“……”
Zhang Desheng is not only satisfied with the group of players he has cultivated, but he also incarnates as a coach on the field at all times in training, and even often guides these little dishes next door on his own training ground.
At this time, after he passed the massacre, he turned around and went to the small slaughter next door.
Among these little kids, Tu Guangri and Zhu Biao are the two rookies he is most optimistic about in this issue, and the former is even more optimistic.
This little guy can be seen from the name, he is Tu Guangtai's younger brother.
But this younger brother is much stronger than his brother in terms of physical fitness, more ferocious in defense, his brain is also very flexible, and his ball sense is not bad.
This can be seen from the fact that he has a combat power of 69 at the age of 17, and his potential is a little stronger than Zhu Biao, the leader of the new generation.
If it is said that the limit of Tu Guangtai is the top midfielder in Asia, he can play in the middle of the four major leagues for a few seasons and be an absolute starter.
Then Tu Guangri will have the talent to grow into a first-class defender in world football in the future, if he can really realize eighty or ninety percent of his talent, then he can play as a starter for several seasons in the giants at his peak.
"Wang Zhen, how many times have I told you, it's useless to just be fast, there must be changes, there must be rhythm, especially your basic skills are still far behind, if you don't have enough talent, you will make up for me hard practice, you must master the essence of one step at a time, like yours to kick the ball out and chase it again, you will never be able to kick it."
"Gao Lin, although I said that you have no talent in shooting, but you haven't figured it out, I said that your talent is not good, then TM is according to my standards, it doesn't mean that you really can't practice a little archery. But you dare to give up on yourself, do you want to live in the domestic league for the rest of your life? Don't want to? Then get over there and practice my shots, and don't eat tonight!" ”
"Yang Feng, I encourage you to actively insert the attack, but it doesn't mean that you can take risks with the team's overall defense, you go and watch the videos that the coaching staff found for you a few more times, especially the videos of McCone and Zambrotta."
"Zhu Biao, you are a good person, but don't think I'm praising you, because a good person on the football field is not a good thing for your teammates. I've always wondered, didn't your coach teach you how to shovel your legs? If you can't prevent it, shovel his legs, didn't your coach tell you this? Are you going to be a good gentleman on the soccer field with me? Now, you shovel his leg for me!" Do you hear that? ”
"Feng Shicai, what are you laughing at, hurry up and pick up the ball, aren't you good and quick to react, just accompany me to practice a few groups!"
“……”
Zhang Gongzi not only pointed out Tu Guangri, he didn't let go of any of the good seedlings in the team, and he always sang blackface when he was training.
There is no way to do it, he can't always be by their side to guide, so he can only use the method of taking the lead to make them as impressed as possible.
But not to mention, with his current status, the effect of teaching like this is indeed the best.
The little guys who were sprayed with dog blood by him would not have the idea of holding grudges at all, let alone rebellious, but all remembered his words in shame and shame.
The training of the Macau team was under the merciless scolding of Zhang Gongzi, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the day before the first match of the quarterfinals.
During this time, Zhang Desheng actually took time to participate in two business events.
He really didn't want to be distracted, but at his level, he really couldn't avoid these activities in the summer.
He had pushed off most of the stuff as much as he could, but he still took part in the first two stops of Barcelona's Asian tour, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Of course, he tried his best to mix business and training together.
In Shanghai, for example, he played a half-time friendly with Barcelona against the first team.
But when he arrived in Hong Kong, he played Barcelona in the first half and Macau in the second half.
In this friendly match, he really worked hard to play, especially after wearing the Macau team jersey to fight Barcelona in the second half, he even showed the intensity of the official game.
At the same time, he also asked his teammates on both sides to play seriously, because this is a rare training opportunity that does not cost money and has good results!
Tomorrow, his Macau team will play against the Japanese team.
But three days later, he will play a friendly against Barcelona and the last champions of the J-League, FC Tokyo.
Looking at it this way, he is also busy enough.
But this is already the least affected way for the national team to play, and Barcelona is really arranging this Asian trip according to his time, after all, if Zhang Gongzi is missing because of the time conflict, the organizer's offer will be halved.
However, the outside world did not know that Zhang Gongzi attended the club's commercial activities and friendly matches, in addition to the 50% share of the image rights, his team would also ask the organizer for an additional amount of money.
Of course, this is unreasonable, but it's okay if you don't add money, then he will not be able to play for various reasons.
But you can rest assured that if there is really no talk about adding money, he will definitely inform the organizers and fans in advance.
He still has this bottom line, and he will never wait for the fans to buy tickets to enter the stadium before he finds that Zhang Gongzi is not playing at all.
After the Macau team arrived in Kanagawa, the Japanese media not only paid attention to the match between the two sides, but also paid close attention to the friendly match between Barcelona and FC Tokyo, especially whether he, the world's No. 1, would be able to play at that time?
But this question can be asked by him, because the friendly match three days later has not yet been negotiated to "add money".
This is mainly because the lion of Barcelona opened his mouth and made the organizers very painful, but Mendes's extra money is even darker, which makes it a little impossible to get these two money.
But what makes the Japanese organizers even more troublesome is that even Xiao Luo plans to ask for an additional appearance fee.
"Ah, all of you have to add money one by one, it's too bullying, right!?"
At this time, the Japanese organizers only felt extremely aggrieved, but who made Japanese football too weak, and Barcelona and the world's first person + the world's second person are too strong, they really don't look down on the Japanese.
Zhang Gongzi is actually good, although his asking price is darker than anyone else's, but he doesn't play big names!
This is evident in the fact that he will take the initiative to thank the staff who serve him at the airport and in the hotel, and he will be polite to the management and the media, including the fans, especially as long as the price is negotiated before attending the event, he will never be a minute late or fail to work.
It is not the first time that Zhang Desheng has come to Japan for business activities, but every time as long as the price is in place, he really cooperates fully and never throws big names, which makes those painful organizers feel a little gratified.
But don't think that this is not all an obligation that should be fulfilled after taking the money?
That's a big mistake, this kind of basic quality in the eyes of ordinary people, put in the superstars of the sports world, if not unique, is definitely rare.
The most arrogant in this regard are the stars of the four major leagues in the United States, as well as European football.
They really took your money, and they still have to treat you like an inferior person, "respect" is impossible, and it's good not to treat you as a grandson.
Xiao Luo looks innocent enough, but the Japanese side has obviously promised to give him a separate appearance fee, but as soon as this master arrives in Japan, he will sit on the ground and raise the price, so he has to add more money. Then, he is also extremely picky about accommodation and meals, and must be special for him. And when attending a business event, if he is only an hour late, he is considered very punctual. As for what the organizer needs him to say and do when he participates in the event, don't think Xiao Luo can write it down, let alone expect him to actively cooperate. In the end, it is often in the middle of the activity that he will impatiently put on a stinky face.
But when it comes to talking to and interacting with the young ladies at the event, then these people will automatically do it without teaching, and they are very cooperative in this regard, and even really put forward the threat of quitting if they don't let a young lady accompany them for one night.
So in such a comparison, if you are the organizer, even if Zhang Gongzi's asking price is several times more than Xiao Luo, but if you measure the international influence and cooperation of the two sides, especially the kind of respect expressed on the surface, do you think Zhang Gongzi's money is worth it?
The Japanese media actually know that Zhang Gongzi is very different from other international superstars in terms of "respect", so the coverage of him is generally very positive, and deliberately separates him from "China".
Zhang Gongzi is naturally too lazy to deal with the internal propaganda of the Japanese, and many things will come naturally when the time comes, and at this stage, he just needs to make money here.
But he didn't come to Japan this time just to make money, he wanted to take the money and win the ball!
Of course, at the pre-match press conference, he has been picking up good words.
After all, this is on someone else's turf.
#######
The next day, the Macau team took a bus to the 70,000-capacity Yokohama International Stadium, which is also the home of the Japanese club Yokohama Marino.
Zhang Gongzi guessed before the game that there would be a lot of his Japanese fans today, but after entering and looking around, he still didn't expect that there would be Japanese fans wearing his Barcelona jersey and even Porto jersey everywhere.
Of course, in the eyes of loyal Japanese fans, this is naturally a very faceless thing, these people are simply traitors!
But the problem is that most of these fans are not real football fans, who made Zhang Gongzi's influence rely on "YouTube" to break the circle a long time ago.
Now nearly half of his fans don't like him because of football, but because they like him, they start to pay attention to football.
This is also the reason why FIFA and UEFA dare not engage him, this kind of influence after breaking the circle is even higher than that of Xiaobeidu, especially in Asia, it is even more terrifying!
"Hey, the main force of the little devil is out!"
After Li Xiaobo came out, he looked at the Japanese team opposite, and today Xiaori really took out the strongest combat power that could be sent.
"Boss, my brother really has more potential than that Nakata Hidetobu?"
Although Tu Guangtai knew that his younger brother's talent was good, Zhang Desheng's private evaluation after he leaked his mouth not long ago still made him never forget it.
"That Shunsuke Nakamura was second in the Scottish Footballer of the Year award last season, and I think he's the strongest player in the Japanese team right now."
Shen Yi's eyes have always been on Shunsuke Nakamura, although he established himself in Zaragoza, known as the second team of Barcelona last season, but he is still not comparable to the opponent as the core of the midfield at Celtic.
So, he's holding back his energy today to prove that he's Asia's No. 1 midfielder, and as long as he can get the upper hand in a direct confrontation with Shunsuke Nakamura, he can prove himself.
Zhang Gongzi's expression did not change when he heard this, but he naturally knew in his heart that Shen Yi was not hot enough.
However, Hidetoshi Nakata, the former No. 1 Asian star, has indeed declined very quickly in the past year.
If Shen Yi goes to the opposite person, there is a certain probability that he will have the upper hand.
If he remembers correctly, Hidetoshi Nakata seems to have retired after the World Cup, and he didn't seem to be 30 years old at the time, and the public reason was that he "thought football was no longer what he knew it to be."
But judging from his immediate combat power that is no longer ranked in the top ten in Asia today, it is obvious that "I am not what I used to be", to put it bluntly, my ability is not good.
At this time, on the live TV broadcast of China and Japan, the starting lists of both sides have appeared on the TV screen.
Japan's starters –
Forecourt: Naotai Takahara (82, 1979, 181cm), Daikoku Shoshi (80, 1980, 177cm)
Midfielders: Junichi Inamoto (81, 1979, 181cm), Hidetoshi Nakata (82, 1977, 175cm), Shunsuke Nakamura (84, 1978, 178cm), Shinji Ono (79, 1979, 175cm)
Backcourt: Santo (80, 1977, 178cm), Koji Nakata (77, 1979, 182cm), Yuji Nakazawa (81, 1978, 187cm), Ryo Kaji (79, 1980, 175cm)
Goalkeeper: Noho Kawaguchi (80, 1975, 179 cm)
The starting lineup of the Japanese team is estimated to be enough in Europe to enter the second stage of the qualifiers, but it must be the top five in Asia, but it is slightly inferior to South Korea and Iran, and compared to the Macau team with Zhang Gongzi in charge, it is naturally inferior.
This also proves that Asian football is progressing rapidly, and the Japanese team has unknowingly fallen out of the top three in Asia on paper.
If Australia and New Zealand both join the Asian zone next year, there will be a question mark over whether Japan will be able to hold on to the top five.
Of course, this is only on paper.
In fact, even if there is a slight gap in the strength of the top teams in Asia, it may not be reflected in the game.
The original Japanese team was the first team to beat Iran to qualify for the first place, while the South Korean team, which was stronger on paper, was pressed to second place by Saudi Arabia in the other group.
But today, when the Japanese team faced the Macau team at home, from the head coach Zico to the players, to the media and fans, there was no certainty of victory, and there was even a little fear and timidity!
The reason for this, of course, is that there is a successor in the Macau team who has been hand-picked by Bailey.
This person is really terrifying!
Macau team starters -
Front: Zhang Desheng (93, 1985, 183cm), Li Xiaobo (82, 1984, 188cm), Thiago (81, 1983, 181cm)
Midfielders: Tu Guangtai (79, 1984, 183cm), Shen Yi (80, 1984, 180cm), Li Wei (79, 1985, 174cm)
Backcourt: Zhou Ting (79, 1979, 181cm), Niu Zhanshan (79, 1983, 192cm), Ma Zhenguo (79, 1985, 180cm, central defender), Zhu Biao (76, 1986, 185cm)
Goalkeeper: Kong Xiaochuan (81, 1984, 189cm).
Li Xiaobo and Thiago are both in good form today, which should have something to do with their explosiveness and speed to restrain the Japanese team, and their height and confrontation to restrain the Japanese team.
But it's a pity that Levi still hasn't been able to break through to the 8 series, his progress has slowed down a little in the past six months due to injury, and today he needs to play two wings alone in this lineup, and I don't know if he can do it?
Zhang Gongzi was somewhat disappointed in his heart, because his talent should have broken through to the 8th series faster than Shen Yi.
But even with the current lineup, the Macau team has the power to fight against Japan, not counting him.
Liao Qimin also decided to send a lineup that was inclined to attack after referring to Zhang Desheng's opinion before the game.
"China National Radio, CCTV ......"
"Today's live broadcast for you is the first round of Group A of the third stage of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers, between our Chinese Macau men's football team and the Japanese men's football team."
"Everyone is familiar with the Macau team, this time they recalled a total of 14 returnee players, although a few little guys have not yet entered the first team, only seven or eight people really serve as the main force, but the number of returnee players is still the best Asian team, maybe the rise of Macau football, can let our team refer to it."
"The Japanese team is currently ranked second in Asia, they are a full 20 places higher than Macau in the rankings, but the number of returnees is only 6, and except for Shunsuke Nakamura who is the main player in Celtic, the rest such as Hidetoshi Nakata, Junichi Inamoto and others are all roles!"
"Look, the Macau team is ready to kick off in the center circle, and the camera immediately shows the current number one ......star who is the absolute core of FC Barcelona and has just won the 'World Footballer of the Year' and the 'European Ballon d'Or' at the same time."
I can't help but mention it here, when Han Qiaosheng read out several titles of Zhang Gongzi in an extremely proud tone......
Fans all over the country felt a surging heat rushing in their bodies, and the excitement was mixed with a sour feeling, which made their every nerve tremble, and their hearts were trembling to get unprecedented pleasure and excitement, and even suddenly felt that there was hope for the future life.
In the first half, the Macau team kicked off first, and the Japanese team naturally focused all their attention on Zhang Desheng from the first second of the opening game.
This is also Zico's pre-match arrangement, and he believes that Zhang Desheng's dominance in Asian football is basically a devastating dimensionality reduction blow.
Therefore, even if they have to use two or three people to guard all the time, that is the price they must pay.
If you don't, a monster like this, who can score four goals in the Champions League final, is definitely capable of beating them up alone!
To be honest, this was somewhat frightened by Zhang Gongzi's name.
It's true that he was able to perform in the Champions League final, but it wasn't his credit alone, as Ronaldo and Xavi both helped him create a lot of good chances.
However, Zico still stubbornly believes that a player of Zhang Desheng's level is equivalent to cheating in Asia, and a player of this level is a dimensionality reduction blow in Asia!
Therefore, the victory or defeat depends on whether the Japanese team can use the numerical advantage and willpower to entangle Zhang Desheng, and only then can they have a chance to win.
At the same time, they can't rush to attack, they must always deploy heavy troops in the backfield, and resolutely can't give Zhang Desheng a chance to counterattack.
Because with the quality of the Japanese players, they simply can't cope with the attacking power that even Chelsea and Liverpool can't defend.
How to say this, in addition to being a little scared to death by Zhang Gongzi, there is actually a little bit of arrogance.
Zico actually looks down on Asian football and Asian players, including Japanese football and Japanese players.
Deep down in his heart, he even felt that he was coming to lead the Japanese team, which was definitely condescending.
As for him praising Zhang Desheng so high, in addition to recognizing Zhang Desheng's level, he also indirectly elevated himself, because he was also the world's No. 1 person for a period of time.
So in his pre-match interview, he talked about "players like us" and how to do it!
In addition to being equal to the more exaggerated the son, the more he exalts himself.
If the Japanese team really loses in the end, it will also be "the strength of your Japanese football is too poor", which has nothing to do with his ability as a coach, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!
Looking at it this way, the Japanese team is also quite miserable, they belong to the one hand who was intimidated by Zhang Gongzi's prestige, and on the other hand, they were poured "fear poison" by their own coach.
Therefore, the Japanese team not only played very conservatively after the opening today, but also obviously felt a little unconfident, and even had a strange picture of Zhang Desheng in the middle in a group of three.
This made the Japanese fans at the scene feel a little embarrassed, but when they thought of the horror of the first person in front of them, everyone felt that they had to be so serious!
But the problem is that this oversaturated defense will naturally make the defensive pressure on the rest of the Macau team too easy.
"Doesn't that take me seriously?"
Levi felt that he was being slighted because he was deliberately empty several times in the first ten minutes of the opening period.
This made him, an eighth-Chinese half-race who was favored by Sporting Lisbon, feel that he was being despised by the Japanese, and Shen Yi also deliberately shifted the ball to his side.
As a result, in the 7th minute of the first half, Levi staged a dangerous breakthrough and shot on goal, but unfortunately that good chance was saved alive by Kawaguchi No.
In the 12th minute of the first half, Shen Yi dodged a gap in the face of Shunsuke Nakamura's defense, and once again transferred the ball to the feet of Li Wei on the right side.
Zico was naturally taken aback on the sidelines, and the Macau team's offensive after the opening was close to the direction of Zhang Desheng on the left side.
But the Chinese midfielder, who plays for La Liga clubs, is cunning, and on several occasions he has taken advantage of Zhang's threat from close to the left to pull them in on before suddenly shifting the ball to the Brazilian half-breed.
This time it was a repeat of the same trick, but the Japanese team still couldn't make up for it quickly, and they barely pounced after Levi burst into the penalty area with the ball.
At this point, Levi can actually distribute the ball to Tu Guangtai, who is ambushed outside the penalty area, and the defensive big man has developed a good long-range shot last season, while also having the ability to pass the ball again from outside the box.
But Levi was a little greedy this time, and shot directly on the right side of the penalty area with a small angle, and was directly saved by the agile Kawaguchi Nengalive to save the ball in his arms.
Zhang Desheng was naturally dissatisfied with this ball, but seeing that Li Wei hurriedly took the initiative to make an apologetic action, he couldn't say anything in the game.
"Keep an eye on that half-blood!"
Zico had been hesitating on the sidelines for a long time, and at this time he could only signal the players on the field to draw someone to guard Levi.
But less than a minute after this order was sent, Zhang Gongzi used a wonderful stop on the left side, first skillfully got rid of Shinji Ono, and then faced the pinching attack was already very timely Jia Di Liang, he actually used the strong explosive power to directly lie down on the ball and eat the opponent.
The most terrifying thing is that after Zhang Gongzi rushed to the bottom line in one breath to catch up with the football that was almost out of bounds, he actually humiliated the central defender Yuji Nakazawa who rushed over with a crotch after an emergency stop, but it was a pity that the football that he wore through the crotch was finally kicked out of bounds by Shunsuke Nakamura, who was driven back to the penalty area in advance.
But such a wonderful three-person performance, especially the extreme crotch piercing at the end, almost single-handedly penetrated the entire defense line of the Japanese team, still made the entire "Yokohama International Arena" a gasp!
This is not an exaggeration, the Chinese fans in front of the TV can see the Japanese fans at the scene all with their mouths wide open and look at the man who looks like a god with a look of fear on their faces.
Zico was even more frightened of Chrysanthemum, and hurriedly signaled that he could not take away the defensive force on the left side, and he must surround that monster at all times!
The Japanese players are also dead set on this, they originally thought that putting so much defensive power on one person was no different from suicide.
But now they also approve of their own head coach's arrangement, after all, Zico did be the world's No. 1 person for a period of time, and sure enough, only a player of this level can know how good the other party is?
"Made, they are still using three people to defend one, they are really not afraid of death!"
Tu Guangtai watched the Japanese surround Zhang Gongzi again, and secretly said that he was so extreme to guard against a person, he simply didn't take them seriously.
Shen Yi didn't speak, but he also felt that the Japanese team was so defensive, did he really think that they were all decorations?
