Chapter 678 "China Red" Appears in Brazil

In the pre-match press conference, when talking about the match against the Chinese team, Scolari fully demonstrated the demeanor of the world's famous coaches: "Being able to represent Asia in the Confederations Cup is enough to prove that the Chinese team is really strong, but I have no doubts about them. I don’t know, the last time I played against the Chinese team was more than ten years ago, but I have grown from a black-haired man to an old man, so this is a brand new confrontation, and the past historical record has no reference value.”

There was nothing wrong with this on the surface, but before the Chinese reporter could speak, the European journalists involved in the Confederations Cup coverage couldn't help but criticize: "Mr. Scolari, do you know Zhou Tiancheng? With his strength not enough to threaten the Brazilian team?"

Scolari looked at the eager reporters, raised his head and said, "Although I am in South America, you say that I don't know this year's Golden Globe winner... Are you provoking my profession? Zhou Tiancheng Naturally, there is no need to say more, he is the best in any big club, and he can replace Gilberto Silva in the Brazilian team more than ten years ago, but as the head coach of the Brazilian team, what I think is How to lead the Brazilian team to victory? Fortunately, the Chinese team only has one Zhou Tiancheng."

This made the Chinese reporters present very upset. What do you mean?Except for Zhou Tiancheng, no one else caught his eye.

Scolari's full name is Luis Felipe Scolari, and Chinese fans affectionately nicknamed him Big Phil.Originally, this Brazilian godfather who has achieved fame in European and South American football has a certain popularity among the Chinese media and fans.But if you say that, it really makes the Chinese media unconvinced.

Look down on people or what?The Chinese team is no longer the former Chinese team, and Brazil is no longer the same Brazil. It is just the top eight teams in the World Cup in South Africa. Kaka and Robinho, who are at their peak, are playing like this.

Although this was the fault of his predecessor Dunga, Chinese reporters did not hesitate to blame Scolari at this time, and in fact they did not wrong him at all.There is a kind of arrogance in this old man's bones when he examines Chinese football. 20 years ago, he led Gremio to lose 2:3 to BJ Guoan in the Gongti friendly match. After the game, the old man criticized the referee for the home whistle. At that time, he threw down a sentence: "If Chinese football keeps playing like this, it will never enter the World Cup."

This was in 1996, and just six years later, Brazil met China in the World Cup group stage.

The reporters who knew about this period of historical tidbits didn't take Scolari's stubbornness to heart at the moment.What Da Phil said in front of the reporters, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.

It is estimated that he did not expect the Chinese team to come. Not only is it here, but we also have to do something in Brazil!
Of course, no one can predict what big things the team can do on the field, but at least the fans can. Become your own home field!

……

There are a lot of fans who come to Brazil to watch the Confederations Cup, and most of them are from China. Many domestic travel agencies have launched a special activity: an in-depth warm-up experience tour for the World Cup in Brazil.

If it weren't for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil, the remote and mysterious Amazon Samba Kingdom has never been a popular destination for domestic tourists and travel agencies, but it is different now.Through the Confederations Cup, this sign was played out.

Since the Confederations Cup is a warm-up for the World Cup, some fans are willing to explore the way, in order to get a better viewing experience for the World Cup next year.The national team has entered the World Cup, and Chinese fans suddenly have the awareness to be the protagonists in the World Cup. Naturally, they care more than anyone else.

Not to mention Zhou Zhenyong, he had confirmed with Zhou Tiancheng that his physical condition was fine, and he would definitely be able to play, so he led people directly from Seoul to Brazil.

The match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team was held in Brasilia, the administrative capital of Brazil. The prosperity of this capital is actually far less than that of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, the two major economic centers of Brazil. In front of the stadium, there was an unbelievable scene-the crowd was surging, but the red obviously suppressed the blue.

The appeal of this game is not strong among Brazilian fans. Brazilian fans feel that there is no suspense. What they are really preparing for is the last two games against Italy and Mexico.

So outside the stadium, Chinese fans dominate.

Looking at the dense crowd, Zhou Zhenyong couldn't help laughing and sighing: "I'll go, or Grandpa Mao is right, there are more people than strength."

He shook his head, this is the only long-term advantage that the Chinese team has maintained for so many years.No matter where you go in the stands, you will not lose your momentum.

He was just about to lead people into the arena when a voice behind him suddenly stopped him: "Old Zhou!"

Zhou Zhenyong turned around and saw a half-bald tall middle-aged man walking towards him, Zhou Zhenyong's eyes lit up and he recognized him immediately.

"Old Huang! Hahaha! Old classmate, why is it you!"

Zhou Zhenyong walked up quickly to meet him. He was obviously surprised to see his elementary school classmates here, but after walking up, he still did not forget to make fun of him: "Hey, bald yellow, hahaha, you are a blossoming iron tree! Are you able to grow your hair? It seems that these years have been rich and lucrative... But I remember that you didn't watch football before, and you came here to catch the heat? It's still the same as before."

Baldy Huang laughed: "Old classmate, don't look at people with old eyes. It's different now. You hardcore fans may not understand football like I do. Besides, I'm not alone."

It was only then that Zhou Zhenyong noticed that there was a group of people behind him, there were quite a few of them, there must have been hundreds of them, and they all followed him.

"This is..." Zhou Zhenyong was a little puzzled.

"See? We are the most professional fan organization in China - China Red. Old classmate, I'm not bragging. Why do we dare to call it a professional? We exist to support national football teams professionally. There is no black area. It's not for profit, only the common belief and common cry. How about it, old classmate? When you were in school, you were a veteran of the national football team. Are you interested in joining? My buddy will take you along."

Zhou Zhenyong and a group of Zhou Tiancheng's fans behind him looked at each other, and then collectively sent a "hehe".

"Huang bald, I'm not alone, and in terms of professionalism, we can definitely surpass you."

Baldy Huang laughed, obviously not believing it, and the people behind him were even more prepared to uphold the honor of the organization.

Zhou Zhenyong said lightly: "Don't be dissatisfied, you are here to support the national team, and we only exist to support one person. If he is not here, we can all be silent on the national team!"

The other party smiled: "Zhou Tiancheng, right? Haha! Old classmate, I've seen it a lot, don't act like it's real, grab ten random fans now, and all ten of them say they're Zhou Tiancheng's die-hard fans, just for the sake of Supporting Zhou Tiancheng exists... Does Zhou Tiancheng know? Have you ever seen Zhou Tiancheng! Haha."

Zhou Zhenyong smiled: "I can satisfy your wish, after the game, it's just a phone call."
