Vol 6 Chapter 31: 1/8 final: Uruguay

The three-match victory in the group stage won the group first, which means that the Chinese team will have to leave these three small cities in the northeast of Brazil to move to Rio de Janeiro, the economic center of Brazil.
　　 came to the big city from a small place. In the next game, the Chinese team will usher in the most famous knockout game in Asia at the most famous Maracana Stadium in Brazil.
　　 The scene has been improved, and the challenge has also increased.
　　 In the last post-match press conference, although Korean reporters deliberately or unintentionally uttered two sour words, but one thing is true.
　　The knockout is no longer like the persimmons with the old arms and legs like Greece, and the last time it has to be an opponent who is stronger than Colombia.
　　 The first time the Chinese team arrived in Rio de Janeiro, it gave people the feeling of going home at the airport and returning to our own home.
　　 The airport seemed to be specially arranged. As soon as the Chinese team walked out of the airport, applause and cheers rang out.
　　Welcome the national team to Rio!
　　The eye-catching Chinese slogan was held in the middle of the airport by dozens of Chinese fans, so that everyone in the team stood on the spot and did not take a step forward.
　　Zhou Tiancheng is purely lively. As a person who has been abroad for a long time, where to see the collective activities organized by the Chinese, it will be more emotional.
　　 is still the motherland is powerful, and many people are powerful. Although it sounds a bit like the slogan of chicken blood, it will only be known after going abroad. This sentence is true at all times.
　　 What's more, this is the World Cup, fighting for a momentum!
　　 And other local internationals, that is really dumbfounded.
　　We still have such a popular time?
　　 Even when they passed the crowd, they also received a lot of flowers handed over from the fans, and even saw a foreigner's face crowded in the middle of the crowd, giving us a thumbs up.
　　 This is different from the popularity abroad when I went to the Asian Cup. At least on the surface, it can be seen that everyone is sincere this time.
　　 Zheng Zhi's arms were already filled with flowers, and even someone kept coming up to shake his hand, making Zheng Zhi slow.
　　Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help but feel funny when he saw it.
　　 "Yo, what's the matter, Zhige? Why can't you walk this scene?"
Zheng Zhi smiled and shook his head gently: "You have seen much of the big scene, we really can't compare. To be honest, I have never seen such a warm before, don't forget this is Brazil, there are tens of thousands of kilometers across the country. ."
Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "Calm, calm, you have to know that we are now in the 16th World Cup, what is this? If we can win the championship, believe it or not, this is the place, give you a Chinese to occupy the city The parade?"
Zheng Zhi's eyes lightened slightly, but then he smiled more intensely: "Just think about it, just think about it. What does that popular buzzword say now? yy innocent, yy innocent, listen to the elder brother's persuasion, yes The ideal is good, but don’t float, don’t float."
　　The training camp of the Chinese team in Rio is near the Maracana Stadium. Because the preparation time for the training camp here is relatively hasty, there is not much consideration in the selection of sites to avoid the media.
In fact, the area used by the Chinese team is one of the echelon training camps of the local Braga giant Flamenco in Rio, so naturally there is no way to escape the media’s attention here, not to mention the current attention of the Chinese team. It has become the center of media attention.
　　 But Lippi's training for the knockout games was not so open before the first group match. Except for opening to the media within the time prescribed by the organizing committee and sending out a relaxed signal, the rest of the time, the Chinese team's training was in a closed state.
　　The opponent in the next quarter-finals is Uruguay after all, Lippi is completely careless.
　　 Although Uruguay did not play well in the group stage, in the end they squeezed out Italy and England, and they were fourth in the last World Cup. Their strength is absolutely impressive.
As a powerhouse in South America, the attack line is just looking at the last World Cup Golden Globe winner Diego Fran, "Suya" Luis Suarez, the big-name stars clearly understand the pressure on the Chinese team's defense. .
Although Uruguay’s defense also has a big gate like Godin, but to be honest, Lippi is really not worried. The overall strength of the Chinese team’s front line may not be as good as Uruguay, but they do not have such a bug as Zhou Tiancheng, as long as Unable to prevent him, he frequently transported forward in the midfield, even if he played against the Chinese team.
　　 He is really worried about defense, so Lippi training has only one focus for tactical training these days: how to go back and fight back as fast as possible after losing the ball in the midfield or even in the frontcourt.
　　 Actually this is Lippi's requirement all along, but now he specifically made the requirement that Zhou Tiancheng's defensive position should be recovered deep enough.
　　 is used as a front waistline when attacking. When defending, you should stand in line with Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting and change into the role of center defender.
　　 For the team's defense, Lippi really can't rest assured, this is also helpless.
　　Even after the team's training, he left Zhou Tiancheng alone: ​​"Week, regarding the defense of the next game, I have to tell you something."
　　Zhou Tiancheng listened patiently without any speech, but he was thinking about it, and he was not at ease with me?
Lippi looked at his expression~EbookFREE.me~ The words slowly and conscientiously explained: "Week, don't think too much, of course I am not worried about your ability, but... In short, your next game and theirs The striker, especially the No. 9, must pay attention when defending him, and can be casual in physical contact, but be careful when pulling, otherwise you may have to suffer a loss."
　　 "I know the old man." Although Zhou Tiancheng coped with it, it was obvious that he didn't pay much attention to Lippi's advice.
　　After Lippi left, Madaloni quietly stepped up to explain: "Why don't you blame Marcelo, Zhou, he is really afraid that you will lose money."
　　 "Oh, no, why would I blame him." Zhou Tiancheng smiled, but obviously, Madaloni can see it, Zhou Tiancheng is confident.
　　 But what they worry about is Zhou Tiancheng's confidence.
　　Madaloni came up and quietly put Zhou Tiancheng on the shoulder, explaining: "Do you know the number 9 in Uruguay, did he do anything?"
　　Zhou Tiancheng was shocked: "This number should be a very good character, but do you still believe me?"
Madaloni shot Zhou Tiancheng: "I'm in a hurry, I haven't finished it yet, we certainly don't worry about you in terms of ability. But the last Uruguayan No. 9, Luis Suarez, bit Italy while defending. Defender Chiellini took a sip, so be careful not to be fooled by him."
　　Zhou Tiancheng's eyes widened at once-lying down, arranged for me to stare at a dog? !
