Chapter 368 Consensus between Uchida and Kagawa
In the ward of the hospital, Zhou Tiancheng saw Jiang Hao with his ankles fixed.Lying on the hospital bed, he was chatting happily with someone else. When Zhou Tiancheng entered, the man turned his head. He was a little surprised. This was a member of the Schalke team medical team.Next to him are the staff of the national team.

"Zhou, are you injured too?" The man pointed at Zhou Tiancheng's forehead, frowning slightly.

Zhou Tiancheng waved his hand and said, "Small problem, skin trauma, Hans, you came really fast."

The man hurriedly said: "Actually, I have been here all the time, because the club has taken away four people (plus Atsuto Uchida), so the club has always let me follow here, just because I am afraid that this will happen. Jiang This injury... hey, forget it, you can take care of your injury, I'm leaving first, I have to tell the club."

Zhou Tiancheng knew what he meant. Jiang Hao's injury would definitely affect the club's games, so regarding his rehabilitation, Schalke will take over all of it.

Seeing Zhou Tiancheng coming, Hans and the staff of the national team went out and closed the door. Zhou Tiancheng walked up to Jiang Hao, watched him hit his fixed ankle, and joked: "It doesn't look so bad, look In your situation at the time, I thought you would have to go to the ICU."

Jiang Hao also pointed to Zhou Tiancheng's forehead, and said, "Brother Cheng, you're still talking about me, aren't you also dying?"

Zhou Tiancheng rubbed his forehead: "It's better than lying here with your dead body. At least I can still make it to the finals. You're so fucking ruthless when you play football with a stick..."

"Brother Cheng, did we win?" Jiang Hao's eyes lit up, and he raised his voice and shouted.

Zhou Tiancheng nodded lightly: "I won. I must win, otherwise how can I be worthy of you? I am also sorry for myself!"

Zhou Tiancheng pointed to his head and Jiang Hao's ankle, and said.

"Who will we play in the final?"

"I don't know. I haven't played there yet. I also asked for leave. I have to go back soon. I hope to play against Little Japan. In 04, we dared to steal and play tricks at our home court. It's time to run into it. Come out to play. Sooner or later, you will have to pay back!"

Jiang Hao smiled slightly: "Brother Cheng, it's a pity that I can't help you, so it's up to you to help me win this championship."

Zhou Tiancheng made a gesture and knocked him on the head, and said angrily on purpose: "Win the championship for you? Then you get up and roll on the field to fight. Why are you lying here? We all have to work hard to win the championship." What on your head? Say it as if I don't want a championship."

……

In the other semi-final, the Japanese team went through a tough fight and beat Australia 1-0 with a goal in the second half of overtime. As Zhou Tiancheng wished, they met the Chinese team in the final.

Coach Zaccheroni did not relax.For the Japanese team, which has won three Asian Cup championships, entering the final can only be regarded as a routine operation.To be honest, the self-positioning of the Japanese team has already left Asia and entered Europe. Their eyes are only on the World Cup. After all, the ultimate goal of the "Centennial Plan" launched by the Japanese Football Association in 1996 is to win the World Cup in 2050!They have been following this path. At this stage, Japanese football actually does not pay too much attention to Asian events.For the Asian Cup, their only goal is the championship.

Therefore, the pressure on Zaccheroni is actually greater than that of Gao Hongbo. For him, winning the Asian Cup is not a great achievement, but just a pass.

Moreover, he did not dare to be careless when he encountered the Chinese team whose offensive firepower had been completely transformed.Although he knew before the game that the main striker of the Chinese team was damaged and the team leader Zhou Tiancheng was also injured, he still dare not be careless.After all this, Zhou Tiancheng was still able to score goals and eliminated the South Korean team, which had been at the same level as Japan for a long time, which proved that the combat effectiveness was strong enough, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

So he returned to the hotel after the game and directly called Atsuto Uchida and Shinji Kagawa to his room for a small meeting.To deal with Zhou Tiancheng, he feels that he has a natural advantage. Uchida Atsuto and Zhou Tiancheng are teammates. Kagawa Shinji has played against him on the court, and he has a comprehensive understanding from different angles. He believes that no matter how strong Zhou Tiancheng is, he can find his weaknesses. where.

"Uchida, Kagawa, you two talk about how to deal with Zhou Tiancheng. I need your more intuitive experience now."

The two couldn't help but looked at each other.

"Xagawa, let's talk about it first, you and him are opponents, and the feeling is more direct."

Kagawa Shinji bowed his head and thought for a while, his answer made Zaccheroni unexpected: "I'm sorry sir, I can't give any advice."

Zaccheroni frowned slightly: "Why?"

Shinji Kagawa decided to tell the truth: "Sir, I did play against him, but the real protagonist of that match was him. Compared with him, my height, confrontation, and speed were all suppressed, and I have never seen such a tall man. The person who controls the ball is more skilled than me, to be honest, sir, I can't find his loopholes."

"Shut up, Kagawa! Are you going to shake the morale of the army?" Uchida Atsuto shouted at him.

Although Shinji Kagawa was very upset, facing Atsuto Uchida, who was older than him, he still didn't get angry directly, but snorted coldly: "Senior Uchida, please give me some advice, you and him are teammates , know more about it.”

Zaccheroni also turned to look at him.

Uchida Atsuto was also at a loss for words at this time, and he had to scratch his head and think for a while.

Seeing the performance of the two, Zaccheroni frowned and said, "Uchida, can't even you figure it out? I don't believe there is any player who is invincible!"

Zaccheroni raised his voice, Shinji Kagawa glanced at him quietly, and flashed a sneer: I'm just telling the truth, you are amazing, think about it!

Uchida Atsuto thought for a long time, and said: "Although I don't like him very much, he is a bit arrogant, but in terms of competition, he is indeed a person with almost no weaknesses. If we want to limit him... Sir, There's probably only one way to cut him off at all times and then double-team him with at least two players to limit his space."

Zaccheroni stared at him for two seconds, then glanced at Shinji Kagawa, and "invited" the two of them out of the room.

"Xagawa, why did you say that just now? You can't even make a suggestion. Could it be that all of us together can't prevent him?"

Shinji Kagawa looked at him, suppressed his anger and said: "Senior Uchida, I don't know what conflicts there are between you and him, but I think someone like Zhou Tiancheng who is stronger than us and has been recognized by Europe should give Sufficient attention is not too much, even a certain amount of respect is deserved. In addition, there is not only one person like him in the Chinese team, please remember, you have three Chinese teammates.”
