Grass roots glory

Chapter 670
Chinese journalists love to brag about themselves, although they don't know what happened to Zhou Tiancheng, and it seems likely that he won't be able to play, but who's to say we can't win?
In this regard, Chinese football reporters are born optimists, and under the current situation, everyone has full confidence in the Chinese team.

But right now, it's the South Korean journalists who are really on fire.

They saw that Zhou Tiancheng was absent from the Chinese team's training, and immediately realized that Zhou Tiancheng might not be able to play, and they immediately had full confidence in the South Korean team—Chou Tiancheng didn't come to the training?Hehe, hahaha!God bless the Republic of Korea!

For this reason, the front of the hotel where the Chinese team stayed was even more lively, and the South Korean reporters were more active than the Chinese reporters. With such a sign, they wanted to know what happened to Zhou Tiancheng, and whether it was Lippi's smoke bomb.

Coincidentally, the South Korean SBS TV reporter who was hiding in the dark happened to see the staff of the national team entering the hotel from the outside carrying heavy transparent plastic bags from an angle.

Through the zoomed-in lens after the post-capture, everyone saw what it was—the fever-reducing medicine box.

……

"The facts are very clear. The core player of the Chinese team, Zhou Tiancheng, has a fever. He should be in a very poor physical condition. He didn't even participate in training. A core player who is so important has a cold before the big game. What does it mean? This is The South Korean team has the best chance! Without Zhou Tiancheng, the Chinese team is not even second-rate in Asia! The Korean team must win! If even such a Chinese team cannot win at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, then Hong Mingfu resigns and apologizes!"

The South Korean reporter instantly forgot that there was a cliff behind them, and suddenly had the feeling that they could win the whole world.

Head coach Hong Myung-bo resigns to apologize?If it is based on performance, he should have resigned and apologized long ago.

In June this year, Firewire replaced the famous Korean football coach Cui Kangxi as the head of the South Korean national team. Originally, the Korean media had high hopes. With the achievement of leading the South Korean team to win the bronze medal in the London Olympics, the Korean football circle hoped that he could save the game from Firewire.

As a result, the rescue was unsuccessful, but it pushed the South Korean team another step into the fire pit.

And when Chinese journalists sent such news back to the country, all the portals and QQ groups were blown up.

Zhou Tiancheng has almost been resting in the hotel for the past few days. He has no idea that the news about his cold has been trending on Weibo, and many fans leave messages of concern under his Weibo.

At the pre-match press conference, a Chinese reporter asked Lippi with a concerned tone: "If Zhou Tiancheng can't play, does it mean that the team will be more low-key in terms of tactics?"

After listening to the translation, Lippi raised his head to look at the reporter, and said directly: "I don't seem to have ever said that Zhou Tiancheng can't play, I don't know where you got the news... I can tell you all directly and responsibly. , Zhou Tiancheng will be able to play tomorrow, he will definitely be able to. He has played a very key role in our journey so far. It would be a pity and unfair for him if he could not play in today's decisive game for Chinese football to return to the World Cup. So Zhou Tiancheng will definitely attend."

Lippi's tone was resolute, very sure, but the reporter of South Korea's SBS TV station couldn't sit still. He stood up and directly grabbed the words, without any scruples about the anger of the Chinese reporter.They were really anxious, how could they care about other things.

Can Zhou Tiancheng make it?
Do you want to play heartbeat like this!

"However, before we got the exact news, as evidenced by the photos, Zhou Tiancheng was indeed suffering from a bad cold. Is Coach Lippi planning to let him persevere despite his illness? Hehe!"

This "hehe" has a lot of meaning. If Zhou Tiancheng is really persistent despite his illness, then he will have to put a question mark on how much of his strength he can display. Korean reporters don't think they can't fight a sick number. Besides, they still have If they can continue to maintain their sense of superiority over Chinese football, they won't talk about winning. Even if they lose, they can still say that they just lost to Zhou Tiancheng.

But Lippi just responded lightly: "Well, I hope everything goes as you wish."

Lippi just dropped a sentence lightly, then spoke to the translator next to him, got up and left.Speaking of this, he couldn't reveal any more.

The CCTV reporter who was robbed just now glanced triumphantly at the Korean reporter who was immediately whispering to his companion, and sneered.

Confused?Bangzi, deserve it!Shout out, keep on shrieking, come out and take two steps!

……

After Lippi returned to the hotel, he immediately went to the hotel room to see Zhou Tiancheng.

"Zhou, you look good, do you feel better?"

After resting for a day yesterday, Zhou Tiancheng's fever has subsided to 37 degrees, at least he can get out of bed now.

"It's much better, old man." Zhou Tiancheng replied with a smile, and said in a hoarse voice.

So Lippi did not lie at the press conference. According to Zhou Tiancheng's physical fitness and his recovery speed, there are still two days before the game. It is entirely possible for him to play.

Lippi frowned: "What do you mean much better? Is this called much better? The voice is still hoarse, Enrique told me that you have not completely subsided the fever, give me a good rest! Be honest with me next time." Sit on the bench."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled, and before he could speak, Lippi said: "Zhou, if you really want to help the team, take advantage of these few days to recover from your illness. Otherwise, I will really Knock you out of the Confederations Cup squad. I'm not going to a big tournament with a player who doesn't help the team."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled, and it's all about this, he really doesn't have much room to fight for.

After leaving the room, Madaloni came up and asked: "Marcelo, shall we put Zhou on the list for the next match?"

Lippi looked back at his assistant: "Otherwise? Do we have any spare candidates?"

Madaloni nodded, then laughed: "Well, actually, I just want to know, are you really willing to kick Zhou out of the Confederations Cup squad?"

This time Lippi laughed: "Old man, you just know and asked. But for him, I have to use this method. Otherwise, he will do everything possible to prove that he has recovered from his illness and fight for a chance to play. I Don't want to take a little risk. To tell you the truth, old man, this game is just a Fed Cup practice in my plan."

Madaloni's eyes widened, and then he was convinced: "You can treat the World Cup qualifiers as a friendly match. From a tactical perspective, Marcelo, you are definitely the first."

Lippi shrugged: "Who made the players perform so well? Besides, we have no time to prepare for the game."
