Grass roots glory

Chapter 874 The fight is about momentum (three more)

The German team took the lead in advancing to the semi-finals. For the Chinese team playing in Fortaleza, it means that after this match against the host, the next match will definitely not be easy.

The style that Loew has forged in the German team over the years is well known. Although Lippi told the players in front of the players to focus on the present and gnaw the hardest bone of the host, but in private, he singled out Zhou Tiancheng. Called to the room to chat alone.

"Zhou, do you think we have a chance to reach the final?"

Lippi's sudden question made Zhou Tiancheng stunned for a while, but when he carefully observed Lippi's eyes, it didn't look like he was joking, so he could only reply in a joking tone: "If I can decide, I will It will definitely let us enter the finals, ha! After playing to this level, everyone has equal opportunities, why don’t you dare to think about it, old man?”

Lippi also laughed: "It's good if you have this attitude. Who said you can't decide? You have decided the outcome by yourself many times."

Zhou Tiancheng was a little dazed, and Lippi immediately added: "Of course, you must not realize it yourself, maybe you just think this is what you should do. Zhou, this means that you are no worse than Messi and Cristiano You are born to decide the outcome. So in the next game, I have only one request for you: avoid injury. You must be the number one target of all opponents. Not only Brazil, but also the German team. I think what kind of nightmare you brought them. So, Zhou, don’t force some opportunities for the team’s victory, your health is our greatest guarantee.”

While arranging targeted tactics for the team, Lippi also attaches great importance to communication with Zhou Tiancheng. Even a tactical master like him, with an absolute star like Zhou Tiancheng in the team, will support the tactics without hesitation. The point is based on Zhou Tiancheng.

High-level football confrontation, in the final analysis, is the oppression and anti-oppression, restriction and anti-restriction of space and core players.The core that Lippi emphasized to the Chinese team on both offensive and defensive ends is that the offense revolves around Zhou Tiancheng's midfielder to play the ball and counterattack speed, and the defensive end strengthens the pressure on the midfielder and the sidewalk defense to limit Neymar's activities.

As for the Brazilian team, under the close attention of Brazilian reporters, Scolari did not intend to keep it secret. In fact, he was three hours before the game, far earlier than the time stipulated by the organizing committee. Within an hour, the starting lineup was announced, showing great confidence.

There is no targeted arrangement in the starting lineup, 4-2-3-1 formation, Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho and Tottenham midfielder Paulinho form two gates, the core of the organization in front of them It is Chelsea midfielder Oscar, who still continues the usual main configuration.

The Brazilian media actually has doubts about Scolari’s tactical arrangement, but Scolari is very confident: “We are confident that we can beat the Chinese team with the strength of the team, and we also have players like Neymar. His state He is also trustworthy. In my eyes, he is a player who can change the game like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. We have played against the Chinese team and know their weaknesses very well. Lippi is a very good coach, but I believe that such a weakness is not so easy for him to solve."

Scolari's words sounded like... Chinese journalists definitely just want to laugh, but they are very useful to the outside world.The Brazilian media likes to hear this, which is in line with their psychology as fans of wealthy families.

Moreover, the gaming company was also led astray by Scolari's words. Before the game, they raised the odds of the Chinese team winning alone, and once again looked down on the Chinese team.

But this time, the direction of the wind is different from when the World Cup first started. The Chinese fans are more determined than anyone else, and they put a lot of money on the Chinese team.

"What the hell? The odds for the Brazilian team to win are actually lower than those for the Chinese team? Spinach companies, wait for bankruptcy, all studs!"

Without enough trust in the Chinese team, Zhou Tiancheng and Lippi, no fans dare to waste their money like this.

……

Lippi has enough patience in this game and can afford it. When he walked into the Fortaleza Castelo Stadium, he could clearly feel the difference-now the Chinese team should be said to be enjoying the second home team in Brazil Basically, as long as there are games played by the Chinese team, the number of Chinese fans will crush any national team.According to a data from FIFA's official website, because of the participation of the Chinese team, Brazil's tourism revenue in this World Cup has more than doubled compared with the previous hosts.There are not tens of thousands of Chinese fans traveling to Brazil.

But with such a number, we can barely fight for a [-]-[-] split when we meet the host. It's not that we didn't work hard enough, but because someone else is the host. It has been decided from the beginning that Chinese fans can only have [-]% of the stands.

We all know how powerful Chinese fans are, and the Brazilians will definitely not let their own territory become someone else's home court.

But even so, we will never lose in terms of momentum.

Lippi just explained to everyone in the locker room that the victory of this game belongs to the positive side. We must dare to take the ball to oppress the opponent and play our own in order to fully control the initiative. Immediately after the players entered the field, I felt such a feeling momentum.

Dragons fans will completely wrap the stands where Chinese fans gather with pieces of national flags, red scarves and red banners, and they will not be weak in the slightest, giving the Brazilian fans next door roaring wildly.

The slogan is still the same slogan. What kind of slogan is written at this time is not important, the key is that the decibel is loud enough.

The number of Chinese fans allowed to enter the stadium is definitely not as large as that of Brazilian fans, but at the moment when players from both sides came out, the voice of "China, come on!" was clearly heard in the stadium, not weaker than the Brazilians at all.

Originally, this kind of scene has never happened to Chinese players after more than ten years of playing football, and everyone was excited.Especially with someone like Jiang Hao who has a crazy personality, such a scene can be extremely exciting.

"Brother Cheng, ah, I'm so excited about this scene. It's great."

Zhou Tiancheng draped his shoulders: "Haozi, do you know why everyone is so excited?"

"Does it need to be said? Play Brazil, the host! And if we win another game, we will be in the semi-finals, and then the finals. We are not far from the championship. No one is excited."

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head.

Jiang Hao was stunned: "Then what is the reason?"

"The most important thing to lose in a host game is momentum. Everyone knows that if the momentum is suppressed, we can't play."

Jiang Hao chuckled: "I have, I am the most imposing, Brother Cheng, you don't need to tell me this, look—oh! Let's fight!"

Jiang Hao yelled directly at the Brazilian team next door, causing all the eyes on the other side to look like idiots.

Zhou Tiancheng resisted the urge to cover his face, and whispered to him, "It's not about arrogance, can you tell me in advance when you want to do this in the future?"

Zhou Tiancheng thought to himself: If you are such an idiot, don't call him my brother in the future...

PS: Tomorrow will continue the third shift, and make up what was owed yesterday. I have a rest today, and I am still a little sleepy.
