Grass roots glory

Chapter 889 Leave with head held high, already a hero (end of this volume)
In the midfield locker room, Loew completely lost his temper.He slapped the table directly, especially at the two central defenders Hummels he trusted most, and scolded him head and face, without showing any sympathy.

"Mats, do you feel that you haven't woken up yet? Or was Zhou given some ecstasy drug? As soon as he came up, look at what you did? Do you know what you should do? This is what you said Yes, you know him best, eh?"

Hummels lowered his head and was too scolded to say a word.

"I have to see you as normal, can you shoulder the expectations of all German fans? Can you afford the honor of German football? If you can't even handle this rookie Chinese team...don't follow I said that Zhou Tiancheng is in the Chinese team, this is not a reason! If all of you can’t compete with him on both offensive and defensive ends, then I will let you go before I go!”

Although Loew can be regarded as an iron coach with the iron-blooded spirit of German football, it is really difficult to see him go crazy like this.

On the other side, Lippi walked into the locker room and kicked the empty mineral water bottle lying at the door of the locker room.Sometimes it's catharsis, sometimes it's unquenchable excitement.

He clapped his hands and pointed at Zhou Tiancheng, who usually showed seriousness in front of the team members, laughed heartily like an old urchin: "Zhou, I knew, you never let me down! "

After finishing speaking, Lippi swept across the entire locker room, his smile widening two points: "You think I only praise Zhou Yi? Hahaha, of course not, you are the same, boys, you all did a good job. To maintain this rhythm, what you need to do is to open up the space and move the midfield at a faster pace, which we did not do enough in the first half, creating space for Zhou is also creating opportunities for yourself.”

Lippi didn't make any special explanations. The current momentum of the team is in the stage of recovery. Lippi knows very well that the less the head coach intervenes at this time, the best tactic is not to toss.

He put this trust in Zhou Tiancheng's hands.

In the second half, Loew changed his formation. Loew replaced Schurrle on the front line, and No. replaced Gundogan in 60 minutes.

After playing three cards early, the Chinese team has done very well, pushing the German chariot to the decisive moment early.

……

"It's a very regrettable game. The dark horse road of the Chinese team did not come to the end. In the first game of the Brazil World Cup semi-finals, the boys have played extremely well. In the first half, they fell behind by two goals. In the second half, Zhou Tiancheng scored a three-person counterattack in the No.605 minute and even made us see the possibility of a miracle. However, Hao Junmin received two yellow cards in the next 5 minutes and became the turning point of the game. The German team scored two goals in a row in the final stage of the game. Klose's lore in the first minute of stoppage time regrettably fixed the score at 1:3. God K has achieved his own legend. Four World Cups, sixteen Goal, surpassing the Brazilian legend Ronaldo and the German football predecessor Gerd Müller to be crowned the top scorer in World Cup history, but the only regret is that this honor is based on the regret of the Chinese team as the background wall.”

"After the semi-finals, Lippi's team ushered in the curtain call of this World Cup. They will compete with the Dutch team for third or fourth places in Brasilia, the current administrative capital of Brazil. The Dutch team still did not break them after all." The title of "uncrowned king", lost to Argentina in penalty shootout, and watched Messi lead the Pampas Eagles and German Chariots to the championship. But this game has special significance for the Chinese team. Just yesterday, the Chinese team's Veteran captain Zheng Zhi publicly stated that he had made a difficult decision - this game will be his curtain call performance in the national team. He will retire from the national team after the World Cup. Zheng Zhi said that he is 34 years old. He felt powerless to shoulder the honor and responsibility of the national team at this age, and he was also sincerely happy that the national team has an outstanding leader like Zhou Tiancheng and a group of outstanding young people. Four years later, the Chinese team no longer needs themselves when preparing for the World Cup in Russia , he firmly believes that the national team will become stronger and stronger."

……

"This morning in BJ time, the Chinese team had a wonderful goal battle with the Dutch team. The Chinese team took the lead twice in regular time, but the Dutch team scored twice with the goals of Robben and Van Persie. The game has been going on. Entering the final penalty shootout. Barcelona goalkeepers Cillessen and Ming Tao played bravely and each saved two penalties. It was not until the seventh round that the winner was decided—Yu Hanchao, the seventh player of the Chinese team A volley kicked the center post, and the Chinese team missed the best record in the history of an Asian team, but it also tied the No.2002 record in the history of the World Cup created by the South Korean team in 4."

When the news from the CCTV Sports Channel after the game commented on the ending of the Chinese team's second World Cup in history, there must be some regrets, but no fans were dissatisfied.

With regard to this record, the age structure and main frame of the national team, they have 1 reasons to believe that the national team, which has experienced a loss and accumulated lessons, will still be the same group four years later, and it will definitely be able to make further progress in Russia.

Everyone just felt worried, only one step away from the podium, everyone saw the players sitting on the ground in frustration after losing the penalty shootout, only Zhou Tiancheng bit his lip and squatted, and he was still there after a while Walk over, starting with Zheng Zhi, and pull up the teammates one by one.

Even the news on the CCTV Sports Channel after the game was distracted. The words Zhou Tiancheng yelled on the field were clearly presented in front of the fans after special processing. Those fans who only saw his movements but did not hear his voice clearly Finally, I could hear what he said clearly.

"Brother Zhi, don't cry! Brothers, don't cry. If it's a man, if it's a man with a handle, stand up and walk around with me! If it's a man, don't lie down, stand up, stand up and walk out. If we lose, everyone insists that we will come again in four years, but so many folks have called us so many games, shouldn't we give them something in return?"

Driven by Zhou Tiancheng, all the players of the Chinese team threw their jerseys onto the stands of the Chinese fans, and clapped their shirtless shirts to interact with the fans.

In response, all the Chinese fans suddenly sang "Rise" at this time

"No matter what, you are my brother, and I will watch you no matter how far away. Every time you fall and get up, my heart hurts and I feel sorry. No matter what, you must have dignity, and I will not blame you for any results. Glory and Glory is not just about victory, it spreads its wings against the wind and rises into the sky!..."

Zhou Zhenyong was also in the crowd. While singing, he gave thumbs up to the players on the field, his eyes followed his son with pride.

Who thought you could get this far?Spread your wings against the wind and rise into the sky!Our Chinese team died standing up this time and left with our heads held high. Everyone is a hero.

Son, dad is proud of you!

PS: I think it’s better not to write such details about the last World Cup plot, and deal with it coldly. I thought about going all the way to win the championship, but I didn’t dare to write it. Haha, the majority of German fans are afraid to send blades...

The next volume, a new journey?Guess where the protagonist will go, hehe!
