Grassroots Glory

v6 Chapter 25: Surprised, not surprised?

The attention that the Chinese team and Colombia received before this game was extraordinary.

   The two rounds of group stage are over, and the qualifying situation of each group is basically clear.

   Except for the Chinese team, the Asian teams in other groups have basically nothing to do with qualifying.

   Group B's "outdoor households" lost to the Netherlands in the second round of 2:3 in the Netherlands, which is not ugly, but the result of the two-game losing streak has declared that they still have to roll back home.

  The Iranian team played the tenaciousness of the Persian iron rider in Group F. The first round was dull Nigeria, and in the second round they were close to the bright stars Argentina. It's a pity that it's still a little bit worse-insisting on the first minute of injury stoppage time, it still lost to Messi's master-like fatal blow outside the penalty area. In the first two rounds, one draw and one loss. In the last round, not only did you have to grab three points in Bosnia-Herzegovina, but you also had to win a big win to get a goal difference... Facing Pianic, Dzeko, Ibisevich and other five league stars Leading Bosnia and Herzegovina, striving for the end of the three group matches to score goals do not hang on the account to go home is a good result.

  As for Japan representing Asia, this round was rubbed against the floor by Algeria from North Africa, and was once behind 0:4. Even if the outburst broke out and pulled back two goals, one foot was already on the edge of the cliff.

   So in Cuiabá, there were many more Europeans and Americans in the press conference before the Chinese team's game, but the Chinese reporters were more cumbersome at first glance.

   is of course mostly Japanese journalists. This World Cup has no Koreans at all, and it was still squeezed out by the Chinese team. With the urine of the kimchi country, it is definitely not going to join the Chinese team's excitement at this time.

   Of course, the game must of course be broadcast, but like the Chinese media before, there is nothing to do with their own national team, and they have sent dozens of reporting teams to the front for full coverage. They certainly can’t do it.

   If Zhou Tiancheng had some moths out there, that would be really bad. Koreans have always been the most active in such matters as "recognizing relatives".

   In this respect, the Japanese reporters present are much more pleasing to the eye, at least they are respected, not only for Lippi and Zhou Tiancheng who are present, but also for all the reporters present. Whenever they see their Chinese counterparts, Japanese journalists always give a compliment: "China is great! Zhou Tiancheng [thumb]"

   This scene has actually been staged in Brazil more than once this time. It should be said that the experience of this World Cup is an experience where these Chinese football journalists have erupted in self-confidence and pride. However, after being praised so many times, the compliments from Japanese counterparts are still somewhat different from the compliments of European and American journalists.

   For well-known reasons, for this small island country, it is difficult to make our feelings clear in a few words.

  Actually, Chinese reporters would like to say that we have more than Zhou Tiancheng, but I still haven't said that. The national team has always lacked business cards. As the captain of the national team, Zhou Tiancheng is also reasonable to be a representative person.

   Before the match, Japanese reporters asked Lippi very gently: "Mr. Lippi, what do you think, then you may even have a chance to play against your old friend Mr. Prandelli in the World Cup knockout?"

Lippi listened to the translation, smiled, and calmly replied: "If there is such a game, then I have no friendship with him, at least before the end of the game, I am a thousand Chinese, It will inspire my players to fight for victory. But this question is too early. For us, it is not important who the opponent is. The important thing is that in the next knockout, we are ready to go to Rio."

   In the conference hall, Chinese reporters couldn't help applauding.

  The first quarter-final of Group C was played in Rio. Lippi had a showdown without hesitation.

   is so confident.

   The prediction before the match was half right. Lippi did adjust five positions in the starting lineup, midfielder Hao Junmin was removed, and local midfielder Wu Xi from Jiangsu Shuntian took his place to start. In addition, Chen Pengfei, who played two games on the left side, was also removed, and Ji Xiang started for him on this side.

   Of course, Lippi still has an idea for this game, so Zhou Tiancheng is unmovable.

  Slightly surprised the commentator He Wei, there was no change in the position of the goalkeeper. The two local goalkeepers Zeng Cheng and Wang Dalei did not get the chance to play in this kind of game. It seems a pity for these two older goalkeepers that they seem to be wearing the bench.

   What they didn’t know was that Lippi was in the locker room, and when everyone was about to play, he said to everyone: "This game, the result is the second place, I hope to see you show your ability."

  Zhou Tiancheng turned his head and quietly said to Ming Tao: "Xiao Tao, a little bit, this is a bit more powerful."

  Suddenly said this, Ming Tao was confused: "What's wrong with me, I'm holding the team behind?"

  Zhou Tiancheng gently shook his head: "That's not there, but do you think you have played two games, do you have any sense of existence? Peng Fei has all kicked out, Sanshi is almost luck, but you played in Europe."

   Mingtao spread his hands: "So should I blame you? You have such a BUG controlling the midfield, what else do I have?"

  Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "Then I will give you a chance to show."

  ……

The two sides did not have the pressure to actually advance and get out of the game, so the game opened up against each other. Zhou Tiancheng intercepted the direct pass of Quintero in the midfield. After getting up, a long shot was blocked and there was no The first time to return to the defense ~lightnovelpub.net~Let Colombia hit the counterattack through the midfield for the first time.

"This is indeed not the best state of the Chinese team. Lippi still has reservations. It can be seen from Zhou's running." Marcel Leif, who has watched the three Chinese team games, has confidently made such an assertion. .

   Even the Colombian players did not expect such a smooth, fast bottom pass, midfielder high center Jackson Martinez headed the ball from close range and hit the corner.

"Danger!"

   Almost at the same time when He Wei's words just fell, Ming Tao flew with a single palm and racked the ball from the goal line.

   "Oh, good Mingtao! The response is quick, but the alarm has not been lifted."

  He Weigang just shouted a few words, the ball flew near the bottom line, and Falcao caught up with a small angle shot.

  Mingtao subconsciously noticed that a carp squeezed to seal the near corner, and stretched his leg to block the ball from the bottom line.

   "Oh! Beautiful! Beautiful! Wonderful two-shot, Ming Tao is in a very good state today!"

   Mingtao clenched his fists and shouted deliberately after he got up. This is a kind of self-motivation and also an answer for Zhou Tiancheng.

But at this time, the camera gave him a close-up, and immediately turned to Pekerman, who was stomped on the Colombian coach seat. He Wei said with a smile: "Pekerman is afraid of new troubles. What is Zhou Tiancheng? It’s unclear when I’m doing my best, but it’s not in his plan to see him at this level. Are you surprised or surprised? Haha!"
