Vol 6 Chapter 4: Ceremony

Lippi began a large-scale substitution adjustment in the second half. In this game, the two teams agreed to change six players. Lippi almost changed the important position of the midfield and frontcourt. Several of the core mainstays of Liuyang were successively replaced, except Zhou Tiancheng.
Lippi asked him to stay on the field and familiarize himself with the exchanged local internationals. After all, any difficult situation in the World Cup may occur. Lippi must consider the most extreme situation: when several of the core players in Europe are defeated by opponents With tactics as a whole strangulation, when the team seeks change, Zhou Tiancheng's single-core on the court can also ensure the normal operation of the team.
　　 This adjustment is just for preparation, but from the scene of the game, the Chinese team's performance is not bad, it can still occupy the initiative steadily on the field, and this tactical adjustment has also given everyone a peace of mind.
　　Guessing is guessing after all, Zhou Tiancheng is the one that makes people Zhou Tiancheng.
　　Zhou Tiancheng sent two assists in the second half, Gao Lin and Yu Hanchao helped the Chinese team to expand the score.
　　The score was locked at 4:1. Saudi Arabia's top star Shamrani scored a face-saving goal.
　　 After the press conference, the media naturally cared about the finalization of the final list of twenty-three people, but Lippi still sold a pass: "It is not yet time to reveal the answer."
　　The reporters have an impulse that they can't help, although they can all guess that it is the time for Lippi to announce the big list until the national team actually conducts the expedition ceremony.
　　 But curiosity can't help it! Although this is not particularly explosive news. Since the age of media, such predictions have long been guessed by people in various circles, but no matter how good they are, they are only predictions. Lippi’s answer is only an official declaration, and it has real hype.

　　On June 2nd, eleven days before the World Cup opener, fans all over the country knew that the Chinese team would really leave for Brazil on this day. At 7:30 in the evening, CCTV will broadcast the national team's expedition ceremony.
　　On this evening, all the fans watching in front of the TV found that the classic show "The Feast of the Giants" that accompanied them through the World Cup for more than ten years started again.
　　Since the 2006 World Cup in Germany, this is the third time CCTV has launched this program.
　　Familiar narration, the symbol of the Samba Kingdom in the Amazon rainforest, of course, there are street football everywhere, and the thirty-two strong impact World Cup goal clips.
　　 Very familiar titles, but for some people, this is a special experience.
　　 CCTV's old commentary Zhang Bin looked at the next Zhou Tiancheng, squinted and smiled, quite a bit emotional.
　　He can still remember that Zhou Tiancheng was invited as a commentary guest at the last World Cup. At that time, the two also made a joke.
　　 "Xiao Zhou, we are really the protagonist this time, haha, this feeling is really very good."
　　 Zhang Bin is also very emotional. Being able to do a special World Cup show as a participant is even more special for his old host who has been with CCTV for more than ten years. The older people are more affectionate. Looking at the head coaches and players waiting in the background, he quietly gathered up and asked: "Xiao Zhou, what goal does the team set for this World Cup?"
　　Zhou Tiancheng smiled and asked: "Do you want to know it yourself, or ask on behalf of the program group?"
　　 "Of course I asked you myself, I am also an old fan, please satisfy my curiosity? Anyway, I will say it later."
　　Zhou Tiancheng said with a smile: "Then you may be disappointed. The team has not set a goal. Lippi let us try our best to fight."
　　 Zhang Bin was stunned. He was not disappointed. Instead, he became more interested. He asked, "What do you think? Can you tell me something?"
　　Zhou Tiancheng was a little helpless: "Isn't it necessary? According to me, the game without the championship is a failure, do you dare to believe it?"
　　 "Dare!" Zhang Bin nodded without hesitation, and did not hesitate at all: "As long as you dare to say it, then there is no hope at all, I am willing to believe you."
　　 Confidence is so full, to some extent, this represents the attitude of the media.

However, there are still too few places to participate. Next, coach Lippi will be called next to the name of the player. The players who come to the stage will go to Brazil with the team."
　　 Lippi called out the names one by one. Although the old man could only speak Italian in his life, he still pronounced these names effectively in the most authentic Chinese accent when he read the list.

At the end of the show, Zhang Bin asked Lippi what was the goal of the game. The old man smiled and said: "The team set the goal. This is our first World Cup. We are not satisfied. If we lose, we will keep going."
　　 caused a burst of applause at the scene. The other meaning of this statement, everyone understood.
　　Zhang Bin turned around and asked Zhou Tiancheng: "Zhou Tiancheng, as the team captain, what do you think?"
　　 Zhou Tiancheng is helpless, this is not over yet?
But facing the camera, he wouldn’t say what he said just now. After thinking a little, he said:
