Grassroots Glory

The team doctor of the national team, Enrique Castellazi, tried to help Zhou Tiancheng get up and take two steps after a simple investigation. The volunteers of the organizing committee who were carrying the stretcher saw Castellazi's gesture and turned back. Back off the field, this scene caused thunderous applause from the scene.

This is an encouragement for Zhou Tiancheng, and also a comfort for them themselves, if they don't need to go on a stretcher, then it's okay, okay.

He Wei also breathed a sigh of relief: Oh my god, it's really scary! But judging from Zhou Tiancheng's situation, it's not serious. He should be able to persevere. You should be relieved. Zhou Tiancheng's physical fitness is hard to get injured!

Xu Yang spoke with a smile: I guess Lippi is really relieved now. Zhou Tiancheng is really indispensable! I believe he must have a plan, but today, if Zhou Tiancheng can't play, I'm afraid no matter how good the plan is. It doesn't necessarily work either!

He Wei smiled, turned his head and asked Hao Haidong: Haidong, I really want to know how you feel now? Is it the same as when Sun Jihai was injured and left?

Hao Haidong nodded: It's all the same, I don't feel much. It's a pity that Ji Hai went down after 20 minutes of playing that game, but we really didn't think so much at the time, and we were confident in winning the Costa Rica team. It's the same now. And Zhou Tiancheng seems to be able to play! It's much better than that of Jihai at that time.

Hao Haidong is as confident as ever. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is self-confident.

Zhou Tiancheng took two steps lightly on the sidelines, Castellazi's expression softened slightly: Fortunately, Zhou, it's much better than I imagined.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: That's fine, Enrique, don't worry.

Be careful, Zhou! Castellazzi still reminded him when he left the stage.

Zhou Tiancheng gave a high thumbs up, not only the players on the field, but also all the fans in the field could see it.

Zhou Zhenyong's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he turned to Chu Yunling with a smile and said, Xiaoling, did you see that? I'll just say it! Hahaha! It's not so easy to get this kid down!

Back on the court, the players of the Chinese team were very motivated, and the counterattack speed was further increased.

Chen Pengfei received Zheng Zhi's long pass from the backcourt, and directly used the change of rhythm to overwhelm the opponent's right back Zokola, and went straight into the penalty area along the sidewalk.

Almost immediately after a counterattack from Côte d'Ivoire, the Chinese team responded immediately, and the speed was too fast to stop.

Counterattack is coming! Zheng Zhi's long pass is too accurate. We must admire Mr. Lippi's seemingly inconspicuous change. Now as long as the ball is under the feet of the Chinese team, there are murderous opportunities everywhere!

Chen Pengfei rushed into the penalty area, attracting Kolo Toure to give up his defensive area and follow him to defend. Chen Pengfei pushed lightly to the empty space where Kolo Toure was originally defending. Zhou Tiancheng quickly reached the position.

Many fans in the stands almost stood up with their eyes wide open. If there is a decibel test instrument, it can be clearly seen that the first peak since the opening was reached at this moment.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that Zhou Tiancheng's shot didn't have enough strength, and it went limply wide of the goal.

Even Marcel Leff patted the table lightly: Zhou's kick...the Chinese team's best chance so far, this kick is really out of standard! Ha!

Many people only thought that the timing of passing and running was flawed, and the camera didn't even notice that Zhou Tiancheng lightly touched the back of his thigh as he walked back.

Hao Junmin noticed it.

He frowned and asked, Why, are you still injured? Does it matter? Don't hold on.

Zhou Tiancheng waved his hand: It's okay. The two steps I ran just now were too hard. If you can persist, go back to your position and don't make a show.

Hao Junmin nodded hesitantly, but since this time, everyone can perceive the fact that every time the ball came to Hao Junmin's feet, he deliberately controlled the rhythm, that is, a little slower.

Theoretically, the problem is not very big, but under the high pressure of the audience, a top midfielder like Yaya Toure can immediately see the change of rhythm, and directly shift the target to press Hao Junmin.

Compared with Yaya Toure, who is like a bison, Hao Junmin is still too young. After Côte d'Ivoire steals, Yaya Toure passes directly to Gervinho.

Gervinho quickly swayed Zhang Lin away from the wing and passed to the goal. Zheng Zhi and Boni jumped almost at the same time, but the only disadvantage was that there was a big gap in physical fitness, which was a flaw.

Boni made a strong header in front of the goal and headed towards the dead corner. Although Ming Tao reacted quickly and touched the ball with his fingertips, it was still not enough to prevent the ball from flying into the goal.

Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team lost the goal.

He Wei's tone was frustrated: I lost the ball, I still lost the ball. The defense didn't hold up! And the time of losing the ball was really bad. The Chinese team did not play badly in the first half, and almost achieved a suppression. Change clothes The adjustment of the room will test Lippi.

At the end of the halftime, Hao Junmin noticed Zhou Tiancheng especially when he was going to the locker room. Seeing that he was touching the back of his thigh intentionally or unintentionally, he came up to persuade him: Old Zhou, you can't do this. I have to talk to the team doctor. Let me just say, don't break your body for the competition, you are our card now, who will be it then?

In fact, there is no need for Hao Junmin to say, Lippi and Castellazzi both saw Zhou Tiancheng's strangeness, and when they returned to the locker room Castellazzi pulled Zhou Tiancheng over to do a serious inspection. The line of blood marks drawn by the nail is extremely clear.

Zhou, what's wrong? Castellazi asked patiently.

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head lightly.

The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit depressing. The teammates all subconsciously looked at Zhou Tiancheng. He was almost behind at the buzzer at halftime. The core was like this. Even Zheng Zhi, the eldest brother who had seen the most, had a look full of disappointment.

Jiang Hao even spoke directly: Brother Cheng, if you don't want to just say it, everyone can accept it. The worst thing is...we're going to fight for a draw. Everyone has confidence and we're still here!

Hearing this, Zhou Tiancheng signaled Castellazi to step aside temporarily. He looked at Lippi's expression and frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Jiang Hao's words, but before the old man could speak, he spoke first : Haozi, listen to what you said, many people think the same as you? Huh? Pengfei, Xiaotao, and all of you, do you agree?

Lippi and Madaloni looked at each other, but they simply kept silent and left it to Zhou Tiancheng. At this time, morale is more important than tactics. Zhou Tiancheng, as the captain, is more suitable for him to do these things, and Lippi knows very well that Zhou Tiancheng has his own way to unite people.

No matter what you think, I don't agree. Haozi, maybe you think a draw is enough. To be honest, even if we lose this game, I can think of what our reporters will say after the game. Rong. Our performance in the first half is completely worthy of it. But I don’t like these four words very much, do you like it, Brother Zhi?”

Zhou Tiancheng suddenly asked Zheng Zhi. As the big brother, Zheng Zhi knew very well that Zhou Tiancheng wanted to drag himself into a trench and set an example for those local international players he had no friendship with. He could only smile and shake his head.

Look, Brother Zhi doesn't like it either. Zhou Tiancheng spread his hands: I think saying this is to paralyze myself. If you lose, you lose. I've never heard that failure is very honorable.

Zhou Tiancheng patted his left chest: The team emblem of this place is not the club's. If we lose today, we people may just be bragging in the mouth of the reporters, but in fact we are still stupid in the World Cup. Just like the group of international players more than ten years ago. So try your best, brothers! We can definitely fight back and press up to attack. I think everyone can see it and have a chance.

The locker room fell into a brief silence. No matter what everyone was doing just now, everyone stopped what they were doing and lowered their heads to think about Zhou Tiancheng's words.

It was Jiang Hao who couldn't help but say, Okay, brother Cheng, I didn't think about it that much, but your physical condition...as a brother, is it really okay to ask you?

Zhou Tiancheng smiled slightly: Can you watch it on the field? I think the neighbors must have noticed it too. It's best that you think so.
