Grassroots Glory

After the Group B match, the focus of the entire World Cup shifted to Recife, Pernambuco.

On the third match day, the focus of Group C should be the match between China and Côte d'Ivoire.

Not only for Chinese fans, but also for all the media involved in World Cup coverage, the Chinese team is an element that cannot be ignored.

Why?

The game kicked off at 8:00 pm local time. From noon on that day, the Recife Pernambuco Stadium, which is the open-air square outside the stadium where the game was hosted, has seen more and more crowds gathering everywhere like a snowball. Chinese fans, many of them are clearly on the bus of a tourist group.

It was still early before the start of the game, but it didn't affect the fighting spirit of all the fans present. Groups of three or four painted the national flag on their faces, posed for pictures at the gate of the stadium, and then proudly shouted: China team, we must! Win!

Those fans who were captured by reporters outside the stadium were lucky. When they were randomly interviewed by CCTV’s front reporting team and asked “how do you see the score against Côte d’Ivoire”, many fans did not hesitate to extend three finger.

3:0, minimum consumption!

Zhou Tiancheng scored a hat-trick!

There are also fans who are more conservative: I started watching football in the 2002 World Cup. I lost two games to Costa Rica in the first game. This time the requirements are not high, 2:0. Although the opponent is not as good as before, it is enough to have a good start.

No matter where you go, as long as there is the Chinese team, the fans will always be a beautiful scenery outside the stadium.

The formation of Chinese fans stunned all the foreign journalists who reported the game.

So the Chinese are so crazy about football?

Based on their old cognition, the Chinese national team has been in a downturn for a long time, and the fans' true love for football will not be too high. Not to mention being professional by English football standards.

But at least at this moment, they feel that their cognition has been refreshed.

Chinese fans just lack the opportunity and platform. Once they show enthusiasm and madness, it is enough to instantly kill any fan group in the world.

We've always had top-notch fans, and now the level of the national team can finally match a little bit.

But this startled the few African friends. Many Ivorian fans even touched their pockets, took out the tickets and held them tightly in their hands. Location.

...

The legendary Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has two identities after retiring: one is a columnist for the Daily Mail, and he is also a guest commentator for famous English media such as BBC and Sky Sports.

For this World Cup, he was invited as a special guest commentator of Sky Sports to participate in the whole World Cup coverage.

Based on his rich experience and experience, Rao could not help but smack his lips and walked into the media hall quickly, as the traffic jams occurred within a kilometer around the stadium due to the gathering of more and more Chinese fans. Meeting a young colleague who came out of the reference room, Carragher said, Ha! Yang, you really should go out and have a look, you Chinese are crazy! It's completely different from what I imagined.

The young colleague was a little moved, and some wanted to go out to read it, but he looked at the information in his hand and could only shake his head and refuse: Thanks, Jamie. To be honest, I really want to take a look, but I can't now. I have to hurry up Send these materials to Bob, the live broadcast is about to start,

He was anxiously waiting.

I'll bring it to him for you. Carragher said with a smile.

Forget it. I still care more about the performance of the Chinese team on the court.

Carragher smiled and walked up and patted his shoulder: Yang, I will help you witness. I am also a supporter of Zhou.

Yang Cheng watched Carragher walk past him with a smile, and felt quite at ease in his heart.

He is very satisfied to have the opportunity to enter a big media such as Sky Sports as an intern. For this matter, he turned down the opportunity to return to China to work with his parents.

Since he established a good personal relationship with Zhou Tiancheng, he has become very clear about his life goals. It is impossible for him to play professional football in this life, so his goal is to become the best commentator in the world.

The best football commentary in the world must be in England. So his goal is to take the position of Bob Clem, the gold medal commentator of Sky Sports today.

Although now he is just a rookie who is responsible for collecting game data for the director and assisting subtitles in the background, but he already feels very lucky to take this step.

To be selected as part of the Sky Sports World Cup broadcast team, he feels that his hard work over the past two months has been worthwhile.

Anyway, I can pay attention to the Chinese team openly!

Yang Cheng handed the competition information to Bob Clem: Mr. Clem, the information you want.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Bob Clem, who had already put on his equipment and was about to start auditioning for the evening broadcast, suddenly stopped him: Wait, Yang.

Sir, what's the matter? Yang Cheng was a little nervous, thinking that his work was not done well.

But Bob Clem asked with a smile: The first game of the evening is the Chinese team's game. I want to know, how likely do you think your Chinese team is to win?

Yang Cheng was stunned, and replied with a smile: I personally think it's more than 80%. Of course, I hope it won't affect your judgment.

Is it so tall? Bob Clem smiled even more. This is the World Cup. If you think the same, I think the Chinese team will be very dangerous. What's your reason?

The Chinese team is very young, which means it has vitality. With old arms and legs like Didier Drogba, I don't think his lethality can match his reputation.

Ha! Yang, then you are about to miscalculate. I must tell you that Drogba is no longer the core force of Côte d'Ivoire. Their starting lineup is as dynamic as the Chinese team.

Seeing the other party's unconcealable smile, Yang Cheng didn't feel embarrassed, but instead smiled and replied: Even if there is any accident, Zhou Tiancheng is the one who can save the accident... Ha! I'll go first, You are busy.

Bob Clem stroked his chin lightly, showing some interest.

It's not that he doesn't know Zhou Tiancheng's strength. He has no doubt that Zhou Tiancheng is enough to dominate the court in any top European quasi-rich club. But he has always been skeptical. On a big stage like the World Cup, with different teammates around him, how much should Zhou Tiancheng's performance be discounted?

His expectations are not very high, perhaps Zhou Tiancheng's performance will not be better than that of Messi in the Argentine national team... Anyway, Messi's teammates are all famous players in world football, but Zhou Tiancheng's teammates, except A few players in Europe, he has to get familiar with other names.

...

Two hours before the game, CCTV's wealthy feast had already entered the live broadcast mode. As the camera cut to the scene, the voice of He Wei, the commentator in front of CCTV, came over: Fans and friends from all over the country waiting in front of the TV, audience friends! , I am now in the central commentary booth of the Pernambuco Stadium, have you heard the cheers around? Our commentary booth is surrounded by Chinese fans, the excitement and pride at this moment is really beyond words! Today will be played by I, Xu Yang, and the former national team's main striker Hao Haidong 'Hao Dong' together brought the broadcast of the first match of the Chinese team back to the World Cup stage.

CCTV’s forward broadcast team for this World Cup is unprecedentedly strong. In addition to He Wei and Duan Xuan, two well-known CCTV speakers, Yang Chen, Fan Zhiyi, and Hao Haidong, three main players of the older generation who have World Cup experience, were invited as commentators.

At this time, both the official organizing committee and the FIFA official website have announced the starting list. In the studio hall of the wealthy feast program group in the back, Zhang Bin also stood beside an old acquaintance: the old acquaintance who commented on each World Cup, the hardcore commentator who has known Chinese fans since the 1990s when they first knew Serie A, Zhang Bin road.

Seeing the starting lineups from both sides appearing on the big screen, Zhang Lu was still talking just now: It's been more than ten years, and this is the first time I've seen the Chinese team at a feast of giants.

Glancing at the starting roster of the Chinese team, he nodded again and again: Stable, stable.

And at the scene, CCTV guest commentator Hao Haidong started firing again.

African teams have no willpower at all. Therefore, the Chinese team must grasp the two openings in the first half and the second half today. They must be aggressive and ruthless enough. If they get off to a good start and knock them out, the African teams will be vulnerable!

He Wei was a little embarrassed. Although this was what was in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, so he could only answer from the side: Côte d'Ivoire is still more cautious today. Their most dangerous figure, 'Warcraft' Drogba, is on standby on the bench. .”

As soon as He Wei finished speaking, he didn't expect Hao Haidong to pick up the words: What is the age of Drogba? He is only a generation younger than me. His current physical fitness can't support the whole audience. It is impossible to get off unless it is a last resort. Yes, he can only play as a substitute, if he wants to start, he can't do it!

After retiring, Hao Haidong's popularity has not diminished. Whenever there is a hot topic, he can always be seen coming out to follow the popularity and spray people everywhere. The middle-aged and elderly fans who watched him play back then called him Hao Dong, but in the self-media and the younger generation of fans, his nickname is Hao Dapao-fighting against people and shooting guns everywhere.

It's just that this time it's very popular. Fans who browsed the post bar and CCTV's mobile phone live broadcast barrage all praised: Hao Dong 666!

Although He Wei and Xu Yang next to him were embarrassed, the fans were willing to listen.

...

In the locker room of the court, Lippi explained his tactics for the last time. There were still seven or eight minutes before his official appearance. He looked at everyone, and then opened the door of the locker room. The loud Chinese singing was transmitted into the locker room instantly.

Boys, I believe you can hear this voice, be more motivated, do what I told you just now, and be tougher than them. The World Cup is about confrontation, but you must protect yourself and counterattack quickly. It’s our specialty! Well, that’s all I have to say, the rest is up to you, don’t forget that you are fighting for fans all over China.”

Zhou Tiancheng gathered everyone together: Okay, everyone, don't be nervous, let's have a small ceremony - the Chinese team will win!

They are about to play, and everyone is ready.

The Desert Wolves football team just played a game in the county, and Nizamiti, who returned to his hometown for vacation, got together with his friends again, and naturally became the object of pursuit, but Nizamiti, who went out to see a circle, was obviously more mature: Tomorrow, in the county square, who will go to the World Cup with me? Come with me, and I will satisfy your curiosity.

In this way, a group of children sneaked out in the early morning, and watched the broadcast of the game with thousands of people on the big screen in the county square.

Matt, are we going to win? a kid about his height asked.

Nizamati nodded arrogantly: Don't ask such questions in the future! The Chinese team will definitely win, brother Tiancheng will score at least two goals!

The current Nizamati naturally understands the meaning of the World Cup better than these children. Listening to the passionate music and deafening cheers on the screen, he bit his fingers lightly, with longing in his eyes.

At this time, the camera turned and players from both sides lined up to enter the field, and the audience almost stood up and cheered.

Everyone watching the screen at this moment heard He Wei's excited voice.

Players from both sides are on the field! The Chinese team is here! Those who come out are Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang, and Zhang Linpeng. They come from Guangzhou Evergrande, which has dominated the Asian club arena for the past few seasons. They are followed by Ming Tao, Jiang Hao, and Hao Hao. Junmin, Chen Pengfei, Wu Sanshi, these European players are the cards that the Chinese team really relies on, ha! Of course, as we expected, Zhou Tiancheng is at the end, the real soul, the hope of the Chinese team, to a large extent Pinned on him. They are here! These eleven players represent the Chinese team to go to the World Cup again!

In the stands, the red screen completely overwhelmed the orange Ivory Coast fans. On the front stand, a huge Chinese slogan was captured by the camera for the first time: Pick the stars from the sky, step on the sea and let me go! Because there is no giving up, the dragon conquers miracles!

There are more than one such slogans. They belong to the most loyal fans of the national team, the Chinese Dragon Team.

Zhou Tiancheng may forget it after talking about it, but every fan will remember it in their hearts. They all remember that Zhou Tiancheng said that we come to the World Cup to conquer the stars and the sea!

They feel that such ambitions should be seen by the whole world. This is a pride that belongs exclusively to Chinese football.

In the stands next to it, there was another group of fans. They didn't have a slogan, they just wore the cheering uniforms of the Chinese team, holding a huge photo of Zhou Tiancheng in their hands, and the slogan was simple, only four words: Do what you say!

Zhou Zhenyong glanced at the surrounding situation, and quietly said to Chu Yunling: I knew we shouldn't come here to make a fool of myself. According to what you young people say, it seems a bit low!

Chu Yunling smiled and looked to the side: Isn't that just right? Dad, let them do the hard work, as long as the Chinese team can win. Right, little lucky star, what do you think?

Little Fuxing seems to be born different from children of the same age. He seems to like to go to crowded places. When he is refreshed, he listens to the cheers (orgasm) (tide) around him, and tries to keep his eyes open. on the field.

It seemed that even he was looking forward to it. I look forward to my dad scoring a goal in such a big scene.
