Chapter 310 Serving as a World Cup Guest

Unable to resist the club's kindness, Zhou Tiancheng could only accept it.Clemens clapped his hands and smiled: "Great. Zhou, now go and enjoy your vacation. I wish you a good mood."

"that's for sure."

After leaving the training base, it was a week later that Zhou Tiancheng actually set foot on the land of his hometown.During this period, he was called up by the national team and played a World Cup warm-up match with the French team on Reunion Island.It is not uncommon for the Chinese team to go overseas for warm-up matches.This warm-up match was held at their "home court" because the French Football Association took the initiative to invite them.

After the news of this warm-up match was announced, domestic fans began to ridicule again, basically not optimistic about the Chinese team.

"Can the media really cover up the shame of the national football team and invite the Chinese team to play? Are the national football teams qualified? To put it bluntly, it is to find a confident partner for others. Domenech's locker room is a mess now. He must win to increase his confidence. There is no more suitable opponent than the national football team." gone."

"With 1 yuan, we decisively beat France 3-0... It's a warm-up match, I think it will save some face."

"After thinking about it, I still decided to watch this show. I just came here for Zhou Tiancheng. Is there anyone with the same path?"

"High-energy warning! It's time for Zheng Zhihua to show up. Cisse suffered a disaster before the last World Cup. Who will it be this time?"

"Scar Ribery, be careful, Zheng Zhizhi kicked the Ferrari engine!"

Of course, there are a few optimistic fans still holding a ray of hope: "There are Zhou Tiancheng, Jiang Hao, and Hao Junmin. It shouldn't be too ugly to lose, right?"

But there are so few such voices that they are completely submerged in the decaying sound.

However, the final result is probably not expected by the whole world.

The most outstanding players in this game were not Ribery, Henry, Benzema, Malouda, nor Zhou Tiancheng and Jiang Hao, which many Chinese fans expected. These big names were all taken away by Deng Zhuoxiang with a set kick. No. In the 607th minute, Deng Zhuoxiang kicked a falling leaf elevator ball 26 meters in front of the penalty area. The French team, which dominated the field, was mentally lax and the wall did not take off at all. .

The total number of shots from the two sides was 27:2. In this game, Zhou Tiancheng mainly focused on restricting the French team's midfielder Gourcuff. It is no coincidence that there is no book, and it has become another classic work of Deng Zhuoxiang.After the game, the video of Deng Zhuoxiang's goal went viral on the Internet.Many fans recalled the three Korean team's rush to score in the East Asian Cup a few months ago. Many fans are glad that Zhou Tiancheng can safely partner with Zheng Zhi as a double midfielder.The Chinese team also has a smart attacking midfielder.Deng Zhuoxiang's type is an excellent No. 04 midfielder template.

Zhou Tiancheng said with a smile in an interview after the game: "This is the ultimate secret of Schalke's ability to win the Champions League. Nothing is impossible on the football field. The Chinese team can also have this kind of hard work. .The future of this team will never be what many fans think."

This is Zhou Tiancheng's heartfelt thoughts, but after he said this, the domestic fans immediately divided into two groups, and Zhou Tiancheng's fans expressed their support.Even if the national team can't get up, but at least he is there, it is worth looking forward to two more points.But there are also some fans who don't buy it. These fans have been heartbroken by the national team. As much as they love, they hate as much as they love. The trolls who turn from fans to black are more terrifying than natural trolls. They run Go to Zhou Tiancheng's Weibo to leave a message.

"However, when they go to the World Cup, you can only be melon eaters."

"Don't be lazy in the warm-up match, that's not a skill. Can you win the Asian Cup? Can you enter the World Cup?"

"For Zhou Tiancheng's sake, forget it, I won't complain, it's best to show the facts, the competition must be strong!"

Zhou Tiancheng was on the plane back to China, and he was completely unaware of the attitude of the fans.On the plane back home, he felt a little complicated.Originally, he wanted to enjoy this vacation, but the night before, CCTV conveyed an invitation to him through the team reporters within the national team, inviting him to be a guest on CCTV's World Cup special program "The Banquet of the Rich".

Zhou Tiancheng is no stranger to this program. The CCTV World Cup special program, like "World Football", is a boutique program of CCTV Sports Channel. It is a must for Chinese fans to watch the World Cup.

But he originally wanted to decline, but it turned out that he couldn't refuse. In order to take advantage of his current popularity among fans, CCTV specially set up a special section for him in the program. From his professional perspective as a professional player, he commented on the events of the night. Match predictions and reviews.

Feeling the sincerity of CCTV, Zhou Tiancheng couldn't push it anymore. After all, this is a national TV station. Being able to invite himself in this kind of program for the whole people definitely recognized his status. You know, the World Cup is not just Fans' festival, even many fans who never watch football, will come to join in the excitement of the World Cup... These people are "pseudo-fans" in the usual sense.

Zhou Tiancheng heaved a sigh of relief after figuring it out. Fortunately, he wasn't asked to be the guest commentator, to make comments and predictions. It was mainly based on brainstorming and analysis. For him, it wasn't too difficult.

As soon as Zhou Tiancheng entered the CCTV headquarters building, he attracted many people's attention. After all, his height was too eye-catching, and the staff of other channels' non-sports programs were discussing in low voices behind their backs.

"Hey, there is a tall mysterious person who was directly led in by director Jiang of the sports channel. Which star is it?"

"Xiao Cai, you will gradually get used to it in the future. What kind of unit is this? Isn't it normal to invite a lot of stars to do a show?"

"However, there are not many people who let Director Jiang personally lead them in, right? They are tall? Could it be Yao Ming?"

"No way, he hasn't been in the focus of the NBA recently, and others are recovering from their injuries. There are no major competitions, what program is he on?"

……

"Xiao Zhou, congratulations, you have given us Chinese football a face. It is our honor that you accepted our invitation. Fans all over the country are blessed." Jiang Ping, director of the sports channel, said to Zhou Tiancheng.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled politely: "Actually, I'm just a soy saucer. It's a rare opportunity to communicate with domestic fans."

Jiang Ping narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Haha, Xiao Zhou, I came here to pick you up today because I am also a veteran football fan. The World Cup has started, and it is the second time. In the next one, I hope you will not be invited as a guest again... Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I will try my best, and I don't want any regrets in my career."

Jiang Ping nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, CCTV Sports Channel released the news on the official Weibo that Zhou Tiancheng will be a guest of the World Cup at the feast of a wealthy family, and the fans cheered.

Now I am more motivated to stay up late and watch the game.Some fans said that they just wanted to wake up and watch the game, but now they are going to sleep after watching it at night. With Zhou Tiancheng, he must not miss a minute!
