Chapter 873 Never Breaking an Appointment (Second Update, Supplement)

While the Chinese team was preparing for the match against Brazil in Fortaleza, on the first match day of the quarter-finals, the first quarter-finals in the upper half started first.

France VS Germany.

The two favorites to win the championship met in advance and had a strong dialogue.

This game is the first day before the Chinese team's game, and this game will also determine the opponents of the Chinese team and the Brazilian team in the next game.

Therefore, while paying attention to the Chinese team, CCTV also paid very high attention to the Franco-German war.

According to the pre-match guest Zhang Lu’s words: “The two opponents are not easy to chew, but if you have to choose, the German team should be more ideal. After all, Zhou Tiancheng is familiar with it, whether it is a teammate or an opponent, he has played against each other.”

When Zhang Lu said this, the host Zhang Bin laughed at the show of the feast of the rich: "Director Zhang seems to have a lot of confidence in Zhou Tiancheng, and the German team also knows Zhou Tiancheng very well."

Zhang Lu chuckled: "To say they understand each other, of course they all understand each other, but the World Cup is a competition that depends on strength until now. The midfielders of the German team, Schweinsteiger and Khedira, even if It's useless for Loew to bring Gundogan up, he can score 41 goals in the Bundesliga, it really happened, Lippi should think more about how the Chinese team should do a good job of defense."

Zhang Bin asked by the way: "Director Zhang, do you think we have a better chance with the German team than with the French team?"

"Hey." Zhang Lu gave a characteristic chuckle without answering.

……

The focus of the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team gave way to the Franco-German battle, and the focus of the match was at the Maracana Stadium.

Zhou Tiancheng was intensively preparing for the match against Brazil. After returning to his room after training, he found that his social accounts in Europe had become active, and there were still a lot of missed calls on his phone.

Seeing the number, Zhou Tiancheng smiled, and he knew that those guys were coming to gain a sense of presence.

"Zhou, how's it going, you guys have to work hard, our boss has said, let's get ready for the next game."

Hummels' voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled slightly: "Is it true? Mats, I don't think you are such a person with low IQ, or do you have a tendency to be abused? Want to be abused so much? If you really think about it, I can certainly satisfy you."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and Hummels' voice became low and deep: "Zhou, just based on your words, I also want to fight with you. You are too crazy. Now we represent our respective national teams, yes It's time to make you pay something, you wait."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled lightly: "Don't slap me with a swollen face to pretend to be fat, you'd better ask, like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Boateng, at least you should ask Il Kai and Mario (Gotze), right? If I'm right, you're probably the only one who thinks so."

"This is the will of our team, Zhou, I just remind you that you are not allowed to go home so early."

"Hehe, I don't like to hear these words. Do you think we are soft persimmons? If you are afraid of facing the host, just say it directly, coward! Take care of yourself first, as if you have settled for France, if you go back first home, that would be heartbreaking."

"Zhou, you wait."

The Chinese media's attention to this game is equally high, just the day before the Chinese team's game, and it will also determine the Chinese team's potential next opponent.

Two superstar-studded world teams, but Loew still showed the results of kneading the German chariot for many years.

At the beginning, the French team pressed and attacked for a while, but the German team took the lead in seizing the opportunity. Hummels received a cross from Kroos [-] meters from the goal and scored with a header.The German team took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

This goal made CCTV commentator Duan Xuan couldn't help but say a few more words: "If the Chinese team meets Germany in the next game, they must learn from the French team. When controlling the scene in the frontcourt, they must pay attention to the German team's well-organized structure Counterattack, if the opponent plays such an attack, even if Zhou Tiancheng has a strong recovery ability and a large coverage area, it will be very difficult."

The German team was more comfortable after taking a one-goal lead. Although the French team tried to counterattack aggressively, they were the ones who created more threats.

Whether it was Ozil in the first half or Gotze came off the bench in the second half, he could have a good chemical reaction with Klose and Podolski.

The French midfielder's double midfielder Pogba and Matuidi are both offensive and defensive ruthless characters, but facing the effective counterattack of the German team's frontcourt combination, they have not completely suppressed the situation.

After the training, Zhou Tiancheng stayed in the room and watched the broadcast of the game. Although he didn’t like anything in front of his club teammates, the performance of the German team still made him nod slightly: “It’s true. There are two brushes, hehe, that’s right, it’s interesting.”

Zheng Zhi, who lived in the same room next to him, was a little shaken: "It's really strong. I thought it would be much better if I passed Brazil as the host. Oh, it seems that the German team is... how do you say that word? BUG, ​​right?"

Zhou Tiancheng turned his head and glanced at him with a smile: "Brother Zhi, don't worry, they are just performing at a super level. Think about it, they are just like us, preparing for the battle in advance and doing training camp alone. The prime minister gave the whole team a good job, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to go home if they reach the quarter-finals? It’s hard to say the semi-finals, and the German team has been blocked from the finals more than once, right? So, do our best.”

Not long after the game ended, Zhou Tiancheng's social media account exploded again.

This time not only Hummels, Gundogan and Neuer also found him.

Hummels: Zhou, it's up to you, we did it, if you can't get rid of Brazil, don't blame me for laughing at you.

Gundogan: I agree.Zhou, this is what I want to say too.

Neuer: Zhou, prove in one sentence that this is what we all think - I am waiting for you.

Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help grinning when he saw it. After thinking about it, he opened the phone's address book, found the number he hadn't contacted for a long time, and called Neuer alone.

"Manuel, tell me the truth, when you fought against me before, were you letting the water go?"

A big question mark circled above Neuer's head on the other end of the phone: "Zhou, what do you mean? Am I that kind of person?"

Zhou Tiancheng laughed softly: "Then I really don't understand. Maci and Ilkay have been teammates with me for a long time and have forgotten the feeling of being dominated, and they are clamoring to fight me. You haven't been bombarded by me yet." Crash? Then just wait, when the time comes, I will reward you with a few super world waves."

"I don't think you will have this chance, Zhou, even if we do."

Zhou Tiancheng stood up directly: "Since you said so, tell Maci and Ilkay, and everyone who is thinking about fighting me, wait! I will never miss the appointment."
