Grass roots glory

Chapter 461 Towards the Great River
After the end of the three rounds of the world preliminaries, the promotion situation of the Chinese team in Group A of the top [-] has become clear.

The Chinese team ranked first with nine points for three consecutive victories and seven goal difference, Jordan ranked second with six points for two wins and one loss, and Iraq ranked third with three points for one win and two losses.It seems that the Chinese team only needs to win one game in the next three games to be sure to qualify from the group.

Although this is already an unexpected result, when this moment comes, no Chinese reporter can remain calm.

After the game, a large number of media surrounded the hotel where the national team was staying. This time they did not come to see a joke or vent their anger, but to welcome the heroes.

When the bus of the national team returned to the hotel from the stadium, the reporters had already been waiting outside the hotel. Numerous cameras had been aimed at the national footballers getting off the bus, and the crowd began to applaud.When Zhou Tiancheng and Gao Hongbo appeared, the applause was even more enthusiastic, and the crowd even cheered spontaneously.These journalists who have covered football for a long time know the truth of winners and losers best.Without Gao Hongbo, it would be impossible to have such a national team that is united and capable of out-of-the-box combat.Without Zhou Tiancheng, it is even more impossible for the Chinese team to go so smoothly in this group. Today's game has proved this point.

The coach and the main player are the souls that make this Chinese team different now.

Of course, although Hao Junmin, Ming Tao and Chen Pengfei were envious of such treatment, they couldn't get it.Who made it not be them who stood up today and made the final decision?
If he didn't stand up at the critical moment, he would naturally have to stand aside and be the melon eater when it comes to meritorious deeds and rewards.

Gao Hongbo has always been neither humble nor arrogant nor arrogant, he can be regarded as a very qualified Chinese Confucian handsome man, and Zhou Tiancheng is often the one who is more confident and exposed. When interviewed by the media, he even said with a smile: "That's right. , I will jump out of these small ditches immediately, and to tell you the truth, all of us are now very confident in conquering the big rivers."

The reporters immediately laughed. Everyone still remembered Zhou Tiancheng's previous metaphor. The top ten competition is a big river. Zhou Tiancheng said that he is very confident...it must be!Don't forget that we are a team determined to conquer the stars and seas!

It's just that the careful reporter observed the faces of other players around him, and always felt that something was wrong.

Can it be normal?Even Hao Junmin and Mingtao could only turn their heads aside at this time, thinking to themselves: Nima, they have been represented again!
It's just that the reporters didn't have the opportunity to ask further questions at this time. The security personnel of the hotel put the team into the hotel, and all the reporters were stopped outside without exception.

Gao Hongbo and the team leader Liu Dianqiu walked behind, looking at Zhou Tiancheng, Liu Dianqiu smiled bitterly in a low voice, "Zhou Tiancheng is a kid who has nothing to say about his abilities, but sometimes he doesn't know how to keep a low profile. He's really... a young man!"

Seeing Liu Dianqiu shaking his head with a smile, Gao Hongbo's face changed slightly. As a walker, he felt that what Liu Dianqiu said at this time might be implying something. After all, a "family rule" of the national team is that players should not be too personal ...He immediately defended Zhou Tiancheng and said: "Old Liu, young people are inevitably a little frivolous, but I think this should not affect the overall situation, right? Is it still young if you are not frivolous? And we all know his abilities. This team really needs him.”

Liu Dianqiu smiled and waved his hands and said: "Xiao Gao, don't always be nervous about me, treat me as an imperial envoy from above. I really like this kid, a young hero, you have to be a little different from ordinary people, right? Hehe, I just praised him a few words casually, and this is also true."

Gao Hongbo's expression relaxed: "Old Liu, I was really startled just now. I thought the higher-ups didn't like him, so I asked you to spread the word."

Liu Dianqiu waved his hand: "You think too much. What kind of football do those officials who sit in the office all day know? Those people have been in the team for as long as I have? What they want is a result. The current record of the national team It's very glamorous, and it's too late for them to be happy. Those people also have to do business... But let's talk about it in private."

Gao Hongbo smiled: "I understand Lao Liu, as long as I don't disrupt the team's arrangements, I don't have the time to talk too much."

In front of them, Ming Tao chased up from behind, stared at Zhou Tiancheng for a long time, and said, "Brother Cheng, you are floating."

Zhou Tiancheng did not change his face, and also looked at him.

Ming Tao went on to say: "What you meant just now, it seems that we can even pass the top ten games casually."

"That's right, that's what I mean. We've passed the top [-], so it's not surprising that we advanced to the top [-], right?" Zhou Tiancheng nodded directly.

Ming Tao opened his mouth, Zhou Tiancheng's attitude made him not know how to respond, he could only stick out his thumb: "What can I say? Brother Cheng, you are amazing! It feels like there is not enough in Asia for you. Great God, I am convinced by this pretense!"

Zhou Tiancheng turned around, shook his fingers back and forth, and said, "It's for us! Xiaotao, we are the Asian champions, can you be a little conscious of being champions? Who do we need to be afraid of? When we meet Saudi Arabia, Just hit it! If you meet Iran, you’re done! As for Bangzi and Little Japan, do you need me to say? Just hit him until he begs to avoid us. Can you be confident? Even Asian teams are afraid, so why not talk about conquering the stars and the sea? Ah, let's just stop eating."

Zhou Tiancheng really felt that the Asian opponent had nothing to fear.When the national team set off to face Iraq in the West Asian away game the next day, Zhou Tiancheng absolutely believed that this battle would be able to settle the situation.

The Iraqis at home have learned the lessons of the previous game, and more thoroughly set up a 5-4-1 iron bucket formation.However, he did not defend to the end. In the No.703 minute, Zhou Tiancheng found an opening in the defense of the central defender, and passed a diagonal pass into the penalty area. Chen Pengfei appeared in this opening tacitly, pushing a shot from the far corner to complete the goal.

It was another 1:0. While the Chinese team advanced, it also pushed the Iraqis to the edge of the cliff.

When the final whistle blew, Liu Jianhong shouted in front: "Beautiful! Beautiful! Congratulations to the Chinese team, we have advanced! We have entered the final top ten in Asia! As Zhou Tiancheng said, we are going to conquer Dajiang There's a big river."

It was late at night, but at this time, countless families quietly turned on the TV and enjoyed the excitement brought by the national team in various ways.

Although everyone knows that the opponents in the top ten competition are stronger, the difficulty of conquering big rivers is definitely much more difficult than crossing small rivers.But what opponent is there now that can make Chinese fans feel unconfident to fight against?

The strong stay strong!
Our totem is a dragon, soaring in the nine heavens and diving in the depths of the sea, how can a small river stop it?
