Grass roots glory

Chapter 443 Strength decides everything

Domestic public opinion has high hopes for the current national team that is about to hit the World Cup.

The team of Asian Cup champions, Zheng Zhi with rich experience and Li Weifeng with World Cup experience are also in the squad for this issue. It definitely has a clear advantage.Perhaps only Iraq can bring some threats to the Chinese team, but their strength is not the same as when they won the Asian Cup four years ago.

Therefore, even though there was a tense and cautious atmosphere before the competition, even though most of the Chinese teams in major competitions had a habit of collapsing before that, the cautious media even used the tragic ending of the 2006 World Cup qualifiers as a warning, no matter how good the results were in the Asian Cup , It does not necessarily mean entering the World Cup steadily.

But the fact is that when Zhou Tiancheng returned to China and faced the cameras of the domestic media, he seemed full of confidence, even when the reporters asked him questions, he kept smiling.

This kind of expression made the reporters feel at ease in their hearts. To be honest, all their confidence comes from the foreign students who are currently in the frontcourt of the national team.

Talking about his upcoming World Cup for the first time, Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "I think a person must have a dream, that is to say, to try things that are not dared to think... Right now, the top [-] is just the starting point. If we fall in the No. If we take one step further, I would be too sorry for everyone's enthusiasm."

The reporters were happy to hear that, and immediately pressed, "So we can look ahead to the Big Ten?"

Zhou Tiancheng glanced at the other party: "As I said just now, you have to try something that you don't dare to think about. If the limit you can imagine is only the top ten, I think you can make a breakthrough. I don't mind fighting with these brothers." Let's conquer the stars and sea together."

Zhou Tiancheng followed his father's words and cryptically expressed his goal. These words aroused the strong interest of the reporters, and they sounded grand!
Stars and seas, such a metaphor can only be matched by a fantastic stage like the World Cup.

"So, you are absolutely confident about making it to the World Cup? Have you communicated with Gao Hongbo?"

The reporters wanted to determine whether such an idea came from the coaching staff. If Gao Hongbo also had such ambitions, then it would be really interesting.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled and waved his hands: "I didn't say anything, I will answer you on the court then."

Although Zhou Tiancheng didn't say it clearly, everyone understood.At the same time, they also understand that, after all, it is really inconvenient for players to speak too clearly before the coaching staff has made a statement.

But this did not delay them from reporting what Zhou Tiancheng meant.

[Zhou Tiancheng released the World Cup declaration, full of confidence! 】

[All of Asia is a foil!Where did we lose in the past?Look at the confidence and pattern of world-class stars. 】

[If we meet in 2014 and conquer the sea of ​​stars and stars in Samba together, will you make an appointment? 】

Such headlines spread like wildfire on many portals the next day.

……

Not long after Zhou Tiancheng reported to the national team, he was called by the coaching staff to talk.

The team leader Liu Dianqiu held a few newspapers, looked at Zhou Tiancheng in front of him without any embarrassment, calm and relaxed, he was a little helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Zhou, I have always thought that although you are young, you have always been quite stable. This time What's the matter? Suddenly firing such a big shot at the media?"

Zhou Tiancheng picked up the newspaper and glanced at it, he was at a loss: "Uncle Liu, I don't understand, what did I say wrong? If you say that I am too proud, I admit it... But I think, like this If we don’t even dare to think about the World Cup, wouldn’t it be a bit too cowardly, as if we were afraid of someone.”

Liu Dianqiu looked at Zhou Tiancheng saying this with a wry smile on his face, that is to say, he knew Zhou Tiancheng and had a good relationship in private when he was in the national team. At this time, he explained with a smile: "It's better to keep a low profile, you have to consider the impact. .Not everyone is like you, what if the rest of the team loses their minds?"

Zhou Tiancheng smiled, but thought to himself: The game hasn't been played yet, if you can't even bear this little flattery, what kind of professional player is it?
Gao Hongbo is very low-key in front of the media. He is not a person who likes to shout slogans. Even when facing the players behind closed doors, he also emphasizes to the players that the road must be taken step by step: "I know everyone has had a hard time in the past six months. It’s quite fulfilling. I have received many endorsement advertisements. I think we are the champions of the Asian Cup, and we are considered stars. But that’s all in the past. Now, everything starts from scratch, and our goal is to win the next game! On such a stage, I hope that you will correct your mentality and put down your body to fight hard. If you want to go to Brazil, this road will have to be fought hard to pile up this road. I allow you to make mistakes, but I do not allow any People are passive and sabotage. This time we have one principle, attitude determines everything! Those who are capable will go up, and those who are mediocre will go down. The General Administration attaches great importance to our World Preliminaries, so I don’t want anyone to set this example for everyone!”

Gao Hongbo quoted the famous words of Milu, the former meritorious coach of the national team, with a serious face and a murderous look. After he left, several foreign players gathered in private, and Ming Tao couldn't help but said: "It feels a bit evil, why is there such a thing?" This kind of feeling of success or success, who is this for?"

Several people shook their heads, Hao Junmin said: "Anyway, it's none of our business. But you can see the determination, attitude is everything. It seems that Milu said, it makes sense."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled lightly at this time, and said quietly: "It is useful to stimulate fighting spirit to compete, but in really high-level competitions, only emphasizing willpower is not very effective."

Several people turned to look at him.

"Don't understand?" Zhou Tiancheng said, "Have you seen us in 02? Our seniors fought hard enough on the field, and the result? We didn't score a single goal. In a really high-level game, even if it is The effect of crazy running in the whole field is not great, it depends on experience, skills and other things. In a word, it is strength. Strength determines everything, this is the truth."

Hao Junmin hurriedly made a gesture of silence, and warned in a low voice: "Old Zhou, you are openly challenging the authority, let's just entertain ourselves, and be strict with our mouths... Hey, but Lao Zhou, you It’s just bragging about yourself, that means you can decide everything, and you can handle it all by yourself, is that what you mean?”

Zhou Tiancheng spread his hands in astonishment: "Did I say that?"

"Isn't that obvious? In terms of strength and fame, none of us can compare to you."

Jiang Hao, Ming Tao and Chen Pengfei deeply agreed and nodded together.

Zhou Tiancheng was speechless: "Brother Hao, you're misinterpreting my meaning. Although I'm a little bit better than everyone...well, it's still in the European arena. Can you be a little confident? Just a few of us Individual abilities, a team like Singapore, is a baby with experience for us to brush up data, and neither Bangzi nor Little Japan is enough to see. On the low-tier stage of Asia, we all have absolute strength to handle everything."

Jiang Hao nodded lightly: "Although it's a bit swollen, it still means the same in general! It sounds so comfortable."

Several people nodded one after another, Zhou Tiancheng looked disgusted, and complained: "A bunch of idiots!"
