Grassroots Glory

v6 Chapter 32: Emboldened

In the upper half of the Chinese team, the two knockout games in Group a and Group b and Group c and Group d are scheduled for June 29, which is the first knockout Match day.

Therefore, the attention of the Chinese team is not lower than that of the host Brazil. First, Brazil and Chile's knockout match was arranged in Belo Horizonte, and the atmosphere of Rio is naturally incomparable. Secondly, the true spirit of the host has not been fully up. As the host, the current top 16 and even the top 8 are far from reaching the limit of their expectations. In other words, Chile has not been seen by them. Brazilian media discuss more about how to win Germany, France, and Argentina, which is a potential opponent that can threaten their promotion to six-star Brazil.

Of course, there is a more important reason, naturally the appeal of the Chinese team.

As for the Chinese media, in addition to tactics, the biggest focus of course is of course Zhou Tiancheng and Godin.

At the pre-match press conference of the Chinese team, the reporters in front of CCTV clearly intended to elicit the topics they wanted.

"Zhou Tiancheng, can you raise your left arm to show us? The strength of the World Cup knockout will be very difficult. The Uruguayan defense is a fierce defender, we just want to see, so that we can be more at ease ."

After listening, Zhou Tiancheng looked at the reporter and laughed, and the atmosphere in the news hall became very strange. The number of Uruguayan journalists on the scene is naturally not small. They heard the problems of CCTV reporters and immediately turned black. They looked at these Chinese journalists angrily.

Want to see it, more at ease?

Haha, I believe you are a ghost!

These Uruguayan journalists don’t even think that Godin’s “sequelae” to Zhou Tiancheng’s left shoulder is a mistake. They just think these Chinese journalists should be so stingy?

"Oh, what do they mean? Poor selling? Do you want Godin to apologize?"

"Do Chinese people understand football? Do they think this is a crime? Ha!"

"It's a pity that Godin should have been even more ruthless at the time, not giving him the opportunity to sit here."

Uruguay reporters talked to each other in a low voice. Chinese reporters do not understand their own language, but they can know what they mean by looking at their expressions.

Zhou Tiancheng answered, they just smiled in their hearts.

Zhou Tiancheng raised his left arm and shook it gently, fearing that the reporters behind could not even see him and raised it over his head. After he lowered it, he said: "What do you want to know, I know. See? It meets everyone's wishes. But Let’s get back to business, this is the World Cup, the national team’s game, the club’s grievances, it’s time for him to turn over. I believe that a guard like Godin will not intentionally give me this. So what I want to say is, I will not look for him in this game again because it makes no sense. What we think more about is how to win the opponent in front of us, and we must solve the battle within 90 minutes."

Uruguay reporters all showed a sneer of disbelief, and the grumpy stood up directly from their seats.

There was a burst of laughter from Chinese journalists, and even some reporters and photographers and colleagues gave each other a high-five.

Sure enough, it was Zhou Tiancheng's style. It looks very graceful, but you think you are very promising to win?

Hey, I'm sorry, but I really want to say the last sentence.

The reporters turned their focus to Lippi, like when he heard whether the old man had anything to do with the game, the old man helped his glasses, and from his face, he could not see any trace of emotion.

No answer has been received, but Chinese journalists are more looking forward to it.

This is the handsome aura! Lippi sees this much more.

Because players like Zhou Tiancheng are so good on the court that everyone now gradually forgets Lippi's aura.

Lippi looked at the following people and said slowly and forcefully: "Let's take a look at the game. Uruguay's strength does not need to be said, but on the stage of the World Cup, it is not impossible for young and inexperienced teams to win. Play-offs. We have the most loyal fans and we have absolute confidence in each player."

Chinese journalists heard this statement even more comfortably and secretly happily.

There is nothing wrong with this!

We have no experience in the World Cup, but what about that?

Mr. Lippi himself is the biggest experience bank of the Chinese team!

Even the cruelest penalty shootout in the World Cup finals has been experienced, and any problems outside the technical and tactical level on the field are not a problem for the Chinese team.

Coming to Rio's final preparation time, the Chinese team's training seemed mysterious, but in fact it only did one thing: grab the circle.

In fact, relaxation training, this is the atmosphere Lippi wants.

He only repeated one thing with the players: "Don't be fooled by Uruguay's ranking in the last World Cup. The fourth place does not mean anything. Spain is still the defending champion and is now on the plane back home. Won They, Uruguay can’t even enter the top eight~lightnovelpub.net~ and we can go further."

This is a big truth, but after saying this, only a few players in Europe behaved as Lippi felt normal, and the other players laughed a little.

Only Zhou Tiancheng's expression was completely relaxed and normal, and he smiled.

With such a game in sight, the players certainly cannot be completely free of pressure. After all, it's a game of winning. It's a very real problem. If you can't win this time, you will go home. The previous three group matches won all of them without any real value.

Instead, Zheng Zhi is the most nervous. This is his first World Cup, and it is estimated to be the last World Cup. Four years later, he is close to forty years old. If Zhou Tiancheng's young people still maintain the current peak level, he does not need to continue to stick to it.

So this is his only World Cup, he hasn't played enough yet.

At noon, when the team was eating, Zheng Zhi sat next to Zhou Tiancheng with his plate and asked softly, "Dachengzi, are you nervous? All pointing at you."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "Brother Zhi, you shouldn't ask me this question. You just do it when you encounter it. Why do you think so much? I don't have that leisure."

Zhou Tiancheng's voice is not small, which made Zheng Zhi a little embarrassed, let the brothers know that he would be nervous. The elder brother of the national team for so many years, what is the prestige?

However, the surrounding players heard Zhou Tiancheng's remarks, and his already tense face slightly relaxed a few points, Jiang Hao and Ming Tao secretly laughed a few of them.

Like brother like this!

Feeling confident, everyone kicks around him, and he only needs to play his life, and he doesn't need to consider winning or losing at any time.
