Grass roots glory

Chapter 313
The progress of the knockout rounds continued to give the fans who believed in Zhou Tiancheng a taste of the sweetness.Spain, which entered the knockout round, truly demonstrated the superiority of pass-and-control football.In the quarter-finals, they faced Portugal led by Ronaldo and Nani. Spain defeated the individual strength with its superb offensive and defensive integrity, eliminated Paraguay in the quarter-finals, and faced the defeat in the European Cup final two years ago in the semi-finals For the German team, the media regarded the collision of the two teams as an early final.

In the program that night, Zhou Tiancheng was asked whether he would support the German team this time. After all, the main goalkeeper Neuer of the German team is his club teammate, and the German team won 4:0 in the quarter-finals In the star-studded Argentina, the offensive firepower can be described as extremely hot.Zhou Tiancheng thought for a while, and said: "Spain and Germany, in a popular saying, the five elements are mutually restraining. Spain's style of play is like water, while the style of the German team has fire and blood, but water naturally restrains fire, so, I'm still bullish on Spain."

Zhang Bin was surprised by this reason: "I didn't expect that you still have research on traditional culture. It's rare, but you have to pay attention in the future and don't let Neuer know."

The results and scores of the contest between the two teams were the same as those in the European Cup final two years ago.Relying on Barcelona captain Carles Puyol's header in No.803 minutes, Spain has advanced to 1:0 in three consecutive knockout matches. Their final opponent is Oranje Netherlands.

The Spanish knockout rounds were all zero seals. The Dutch team averaged more than two goals per game in this World Cup.

In this game, Spain relied on the overall pass control to gain the ball possession advantage, but the Dutch team Robben's two sharp counterattacks created excellent single-handed opportunities, but all of them were bravely missed by Iker Casillas.There was no winner between the two sides within nine 10 minutes.

Before the game entered overtime, Zhou Tiancheng had already shown a faint smile.Zhang Bin leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Zhou, what's the matter, do you already have a bottom line in your mind?"

Zhou Tiancheng nodded: "The Dutch team is basically useless, and they can't survive the penalty shootout."

Zhang Bin was a little confused. He was not a professional football fan after all, so he couldn't see any clues. Zhou Tiancheng didn't explain, and he didn't ask.

The overtime was intense, and it was almost 120 minutes. Just when Zhang Bin thought that Zhou Tiancheng was going to miscalculate, Iniesta scored a single-handed goal against offside - ending the suspense of the game 3 minutes before the end, the first time in history. He won the Hercules Cup once.

Zhou Tiancheng showed a smile. This moment came later than he expected, but it was inevitable. After all, the Spanish team has the championship background and controls the initiative. Although the Netherlands is also a strong team, the four "Uncrowned Kings" This word is doomed that this team lacks the most critical quality to reach the top-the tenacity to fight to the end, and the arrogance of who else.

Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help but think of Schalke. It is precisely because of the most critical spiritual core of the miners' spirit that they can fight Barcelona to the end.

He couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry for Robben, Sneijder and Van Persie. The uncrowned king is a kind of reputation, but it seems a little sad.

As Spain reached the top, Chinese fans on the domestic Internet were blown away.Especially those who steadfastly followed Zhou Tiancheng to buy Spain, this World Cup really became a big winner.

"I just checked my bank card balance, so I decided to buy a big photo frame, hang up Chengda's photo, and offer two sticks of incense every day, hahaha, it's more reliable than asking the God of Wealth!"

……

After finishing his month-long assignment as a CCTV guest, Zhou Tiancheng could finally take a vacation. He took Chu Yunling to the Maldives for a half-month vacation, and then they returned to Germany together.Chu Yunling's studies have entered the final stage, Zhou Tiancheng should also go back to prepare for the new season and visit the club by the way.

When the two were about to part, Chu Yunling was still a little bit reluctant: "It's obviously a two-month vacation, but you only took half a month off."

"Uh..." Zhou Tiancheng was a little embarrassed every time he talked about this issue. Chu Yunling complained that the time between the two of them was too short. .”

"Okay, okay, I know you are busy, big star."

Chu Yunling pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "This time I'll go back, and my parents talked to me about the two of us."

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned for half a second, then revealed a sly face, and asked knowingly, "The two of us? What?"

Chu Yunling pinched him hard on the shoulder, looked at Zhou Tiancheng's pained expression, and laughed inwardly, and then said: "My parents know that you have won the Champions League, and they said that you are now considered a career, so... …They rushed to graduate and settled the matter between the two of us.”

"Oh..." Zhou Tiancheng couldn't say how happy he was. Chu Yunling's skin is actually quite thin. He can take the initiative to tell this matter, which proves that he is very eager in his heart.But Zhou Tiancheng didn't want to be so hasty.

"But Xiaoling, I'm not ready yet."

Chu Yunling's face turned cold all of a sudden: "What do you mean, do you not want to follow me..."

Zhou Tiancheng saw that she was thinking wrong, and quickly explained: "Where are you thinking, we can't just go home like this, let's finish it as soon as the quilt is put on. Give me some time to get ready."

……

Back in Gelsenkirchen, Zhou Tiancheng went back to the rental house to pack his things. The rental contract with Tina was about to expire, and he was about to move into his villa.

When he drove to the door of his villa, he happened to meet Rakitic coming out of his villa.Dragging a big suitcase in his hand, he was wearing an outfit for a long trip.

"Hey, Ivan, I'm back now, and you haven't enjoyed your vacation yet?"

"I'm not ready... Zhou, I'm leaving."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "With your outfit, everyone knows that you are leaving, go, there are still a few days of vacation, go out and have a good time."

Rakitic lowered his head in silence for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Zhou, I mean, we may not be teammates anymore."

Zhou Tiancheng was startled by this news, and then waved his hands: "Stop teasing, Ivan, this joke is not funny."

Just as Rakitic was about to speak, the door of the villa next to his left opened, Westerman came out, saw Rakitic, and asked, "Ivan, are you ready? "

When Westerman saw Zhou Tiancheng who turned his head, his face froze for a moment, and he said a little unhappily: "Zhou, ha... you are back, did you have a good vacation?"

Seeing Westerman's similar outfits, Zhou Tiancheng suddenly felt depressed, and asked in a deep voice, "Haike, are you going to leave too?"

Seeing Zhou Tiancheng's expression and the way he asked questions, Westerman knew that he already knew, so he nodded calmly: "That's right, Zhou, Ivan and I are ready to accept a new challenge."
