Grass roots glory

Chapter 884 Exposed Short Board, Roaring Chariot

"We have to admire Lippi's courage. Zhou Tiancheng is sitting on the bench, and he can still form such a formation. Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin, Zhang Xizhe... This is the first time for the old captain in this World Cup Playing in the midfield position, in terms of offensive and defensive attributes, it can be said that there is not even a defensive midfielder. When needed, the 34-year-old Zheng Zhi can even be used as a midfielder."

"It can't be helped, but if Zhou Tiancheng is not like this, it is really a fatal injury, Lippi will not do this, and indeed he can't bet on his career. But I hope this game can be a clean fight, fans Everything is ready! Before entering the arena, everything may be against us, but if you put it to death, you will be born later!"

At the scene, the two commentators He Wei and Xu Yang were ready. When the game was performing the opening procedures and playing our national anthem, the deafening singing made even Marcel Leif, who was under the stands, clutch his heart. Startled.After the national anthem was played, he still had lingering fears: "Sitting under the stands, I have to be honest, I have already felt the determination of the Chinese team. Even if they encounter the worst off-court incident, they cannot shake their belief in victory. The changes brought to his national team... Although he does not play, there is no doubt that he is still the core. Taking him to the final is the belief expressed by the players of the Chinese team, and it may not be as easy as Loew expected. , he should be careful."

Just as he was talking, Zhou Tiancheng stood on the sidelines, sang the national anthem loudly with everyone, and then shook hands.

Not only to encourage every Chinese team player who plays, but also to old friends who will be in the German team.

In the starting lineup of the German team, there are quite a lot of old friends, Neuer, Höwedes, Hummels, two former Schalke teammates, and one has a relationship in Dortmund.

There is also a Gundogan sitting on the bench.

Of course there are more rivals, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Boateng...

Several people came up in turn, and my hands smelled of gunpowder.

"Ha, Zhou, you won't have a chance to enter the World Wave again this time, right? Hahaha, look at your eyes... Hahaha, may God bless you." Seeing Zhou Tiancheng like this, Neuer couldn't help but laugh.

Hummels patted Zhou Tiancheng's shoulder on the sidelines, looked at his head, and shook his head slightly: "Zhou, brother... Oh, my God, you look like this, I sympathize with you. Also, have you thought about it? Are you considering staying next season?"

Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help laughing: "Be smart, Matz. Do you think it's appropriate to ask this question in this scene? Do you think I will consider this? Also, if I don't stay, what can you do?"

Hummels' face collapsed in an instant: "Then I'm sorry. Anyway, without you, it would not take much effort to win you. I originally thought that I would wait for you to lose a lot, and give you face so that you don't look too bad. Since You say that, we have no friendship in the future, why should I?"

"It's ruthless!" Zhou Tiancheng gave a thumbs up: "However, hehe, first prove that you can do it."

"Look, don't regret it!"

……

Lippi and Loew's attitude towards this game is exactly the same, so the strategy of the two sides after the opening is to use spears to spears and attack to attack.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides fought back and forth in the midfield. Zheng Zhi continued to fight with Schweinsteiger and Khedira in the midfield. Facing the two midfielders of the German team, at least he made a contribution to the young people around him. example.

But the referee took a look at the last pass, and finally did not call a foul, because Schweinsteiger actually brought the ball out from Zheng Zhi's feet.

On the stage of the semi-finals, the referee generally does not steal the show, and tries his best to take care of the fluency of the game.

The German team intercepted the ball in midfield and started to counterattack directly at the Chinese team.Schweinsteiger passed to Gotze, and Gotze hit behind the Chinese team's defense with one kick.

Top scorer Klose seized the space directly on the defensive line.Zheng Zhi's position has been moved up, and the central defender Mei Fang who replaced him has not found the feeling of the World Cup at all!
"Klose has slipped in, it's dangerous! Mei Fang... The Chinese team has played with a lineup so far, and it is indeed stable, but this time is about to die."

The top players can't find the feeling at all!
Fortunately, this time Mingtao was watching closely enough, so he attacked decisively, directly aiming at the position where Klose kicked, and sent his whole body out to put the ball in his arms.

At the beginning, the Chinese team escaped, but Zhou Tiancheng frowned.Other players will be sitting on the bench, and he is still standing on the sidelines, arms crossed, looking no different from the head coach.

Lippi didn't pay attention, but Madaloni came over and asked, "Zhou, what are you doing? Go back and sit quietly, don't worry, they will always come twice at the beginning."

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head lightly: "You have a really good attitude."

"You don't think so?" Madaloni asked rhetorically.

"If you defend like this, there will be big problems. I don't believe that your vision is so much worse than that of Mr. Pi, or are you unwilling to believe it?"

Madaloni opened his mouth, but said nothing.

However, it must be admitted that the Chinese team's midfield control in the past few minutes has dropped by more than one level compared to when Zhou Tiancheng was there.

Whether it is Zheng Zhi or Zhang Xizhe, facing the German team's close pressing, they are very uncomfortable with such intensity. The midfield attack cannot be delivered, and Jiang Hao, Chen Pengfei and Wu Sanshi can only watch in front.

Watching the German team accurately press Zhang Xizhe again and again at the beginning of the game.He is the shortest piece of wood in the midfield of the Chinese team. Although Zheng Zhi is more than ten years older than him, he still has the physical foundation and self-discipline spirit left by studying abroad in the Premier League when he was young.

But as soon as the ball reaches Zhang Xizhe's feet, whether it's Khedira or Schweinsteiger, he can't control the ball with a little body squeeze.

The German team has tried and failed to steal the ball on his side.

"It was interrupted again! Hao Junmin or Zheng Zhi should protect Zhang Xizhe more. He has not experienced the confrontation of European rhythm. This kind of intensity is commonplace for German players. When the German chariot starts to pursue victory at full speed, This is their normal rhythm, but for our local players, it is really hard to bear without experience."

The German team counterattacked quickly. Schweinsteiger passed a direct pass to Klose, and Klose knocked back to Kroos with his heel. The Bayern midfielder followed up with a low shot and went straight into the dead corner.Ming Tao noticed it, but the ball flew in against the post, and he couldn't help it.

He Wei looked disappointed: "The Chinese team lost the ball at the beginning, and the start was not good, but it doesn't matter, hold on!"

Zhou Tiancheng turned around directly, he was already bad at evaluating.

What else can he say in this situation?
I can't help now, once the midfield loses momentum, it is inevitable that the shortcomings of the defense will be exposed.

Especially in the face of such a fast attack by the German team.He had already seen that the defense line was in danger of being directly run over by the opponent's tanks.

He thought for a while, got up and walked towards Lippi.
