Grassroots Glory
v3 Chapter 40: Mesopotamian Lions
The next morning, Zhou Tiancheng and Chu Yunling woke up almost at the same time. The two looked at each other. Zhou Tiancheng saw Chu Yunling's complexion much better. There was a playful smile on his face. He looked at the time, it was less than nine o'clock, and he was relieved. It seemed that there was no tossing too late last night, and this point can't miss the plane returning home this afternoon. Dortmund has access to all German airports, so now he does not need to take the train and then transfer to his home country. Reduce toss.
"Early, my dear. Your face looks much better, I said long ago, no matter how delicate the flowers are, they should be moisturized."
Chu Yunling rolled her eyes and complained: "Also, I didn't know how long I had tossed last night. My parents are all there. Didn't make any noise last night?"
Zhou Tiancheng spread his hands: "I don't know, but your parents will definitely not say anything. My son-in-law is so good. If I miss this village, I don't have this store."
Chu Yunling deflated her mouth and spit out: "I really think those reporters are justified. You are just a pervert. It's only a few moments that you started earlier than the chicken."
After Chu Tiancheng got up, Zhou mother greeted him and excused her daughter into the room. When she came out, Zhou Tiancheng noticed that her mother-in-law's smile was abnormal.
Before Zhou Tiancheng left, Chu's mother specifically said: "Xiaocheng, you can go back to play, don't worry about Xiaoling, we are here. As long as you behave well, she is in a good mood."
...
Zhou Tiancheng deliberately glanced at Chu Yunling before leaving, and said softly, "Xiaoling, rest assured, I will be back after playing the game."
A trace of worry flashed in Chu Yunling's eyes and said, "Be careful, protect yourself, I'll wait for you."
Zhou Tiancheng gently leaned his head to kiss Chu Yunling's forehead, smiled and said: "It's not to go to war, it's already a journey."
Chu Yunling held Zhou Tiancheng's hand just not loose, his brows kept on.
Seeing this, Zhou Tiancheng could only smile and compromise: "Well, my wife, please obey, and promise to complete the task!"
...
On the way to Zhou Tiancheng's return flight, the Chinese media have already begun to take action to explore the situation of the opponents for the national team.
Next, the Chinese team will face Iraq back to back and back against Iraq successively. It is related to the qualifying of the team. Under the circumstances of mastering the promotion initiative, no media can stand. As soon as the Iraqi team arrived in Shenzhen, the venue of the game, their hotel and training base were already “surrounded”. Almost all Chinese journalists came for the purpose of spying intelligence for the national team.
With the general trend, no media can be crazy. In the past, when there was only theoretical hope in the national team's qualifying, they could still devote 100% of their enthusiasm to calculate the possibility of various qualifying, not to mention this time. Almost all the media and fans suppressed the excitement.
However, when large and small media began to celebrate the victory, CCTV, which represents the official channel, still maintained a cautious style. In the latest special report of the national team preparing for the World Preliminaries before the game , Liu Jianhong expressed his opinion: "The Chinese team can occupy a favorable position in the qualifying position. After two World Preliminaries, there is a chance to return to the top ten. This is certainly a welcome progress. But if this point is not a result, Progress makes us feel that the Iraqi team is an opponent that can be won at will. This is a very bad mentality and it is necessary. The opponent in front of us is the Asian Cup champion four years ago, and core players like Younis are still In the team, this team still has a deep foundation, and in terms of willpower, I don’t need to say more about the fighting spirit of Iraqi football. The opponents who can rise in the battle are worthy of our full respect and prudence. "
Naturally, Liu Jianhong's words do not represent his personal views. He can give this national admonition to the national fans. To a certain extent, it is also the national football team that CCTV is taking the opportunity to admonish the national team.
After CCTV aired this episode, the public opinion on the Internet has become more rational, but in fact, many fans are not so optimistic. It's just that in such a big environment, these people choose to be smart people and keep silent. No one wants to be regarded as non-mainstream.
But since CCTV has this attitude, these fans suddenly felt that they had mastered the truth and began to pour cold water on the national team before the war.
"If you want to win, it's still a quick decision. If you can't score after 60 minutes, I think the national team is very dangling. It's not a cool word. On the spiritual level, the national football team is a few streets away from Iraq. One can decide."
"The iron bucket must be on the opposite side. Think about it and sweat for the Chinese team!"
"This game will definitely overwhelm the Chinese team, but I hope that the Iraqi team will not lose too badly... Other countries are almost out of reach and can win the Asian championship. Where is it like our national football team, before you taste this sweetness~www .lightnovelpub.net~ How many years has it been painful...not to mention, enjoy the moment, look back on the past..."
Fans who have seen the Asian Cup of four Southeast Asian countries four years ago basically have a cautious and respectful attitude towards the Iraqi team.
In that year, the Chinese team, known as "stronger than the 02 World Cup lineup", was defeated by Uzbekistan for three consecutive goals in the final round of the group stage. However, the Iraqis passed through without any optimism. The semi-final dragged to the penalty shootout and overwhelmed the South Korean team known for their willpower. The final two goals fell to the popular Saudi Arabia and will be magically carried to the end.
Just as no one believes that a country in war can win the football field, but the Iraqis have created this myth. In fact, as early as the 2004 Olympic Games, the Iraqi Olympic team reached the semifinals and became the biggest dark horse, and that year, the Iraq war just broke out for the second year.
Football symbolizes a spirit, sublimated at the foot of the Iraqis, and represents a soul-a soul that a nation’s hope is not extinguished, and fighting is not endless!
Also after the Asian Cup four years ago, the Iraqi team from the Mesopotamian Plains received a recognized nickname-the Mesopotamian Lions!
Now, the Chinese team will face the challenge of this lion.
Fans can't help but feel a little nervous, if the main players on the call list are in good condition, there is nothing to worry about. But in the last round of Bundesliga before the training, all fans watched Jiang Hao sprained his ankle in the game against Schalke. The next day, the coaching team of the national team confirmed that Jiang Hao would not participate in the national team's game in this window period.
Losing such an important front-end terminator is not so fun.
