Vol 4 Chapter 14: pour cold water on

"Aoao--"
As the on-duty referee blew two short and one long whistle at the end of the game, a huge deafening voice from Chinese fans sounded over the Pernambuco Arena.
The Chinese players on the court were crying with excitement, and many players couldn't believe that the team had beaten Côte d'Ivoire!
The players on the bench also rushed to the court at the end of the game, enjoying a hard-won victory with the players on the field.
In other words, enjoy a victory that made history.
Twelve years ago, the Korea-Japan World Cup Chinese team lost in three games, without scoring goals, and nine goals were conceded. At that time, many of the players present were still children, like Sun Jingbo, the youngest team, only six years old in 2002.
Tang Zheng was only thirteen years old at the time. He still remembers the heavy mood of sitting at the TV watching the three World Cups.
It was also at that time that Tang Zheng determined to become China's best player and lead the Chinese team to the World Cup.
Leading the Chinese team to the World Cup is Tang Zheng's first step, and scoring a goal to win the game is the second step. Next ... is the group qualifying!
Colombia is the seed team of Group C. The overall strength is strong. The possibility of defeating Colombia is very low, but it is not without good news for the Chinese team. Colombia is the opponent to be faced in the final round of the group, as long as the next round is defeated Greece, the Chinese team is able to group two consecutive victories ahead of the group qualifying.
Tang Zheng, who was rebroadcasting the picture, was very excited, raising his arms and waving a few times upward.
Commentary guest Xu Yang added almost crazy after He Wei ’s passionate commentary: "This is a day that people all over the country must remember! We not only scored in the World Cup, but also scored three points! This round can beat Côte d’ Ivoire, next The round also has a chance to beat the former European champion Greece team! Before the game, the media of the Chinese team was also questioned and your eyes widened! I believe that the Chinese team will definitely appear in the knockout of this World Cup !! "
The national team coach Lippi took a breath at the moment when the whistle sound of the whole game. In order to prepare for the World Cup, he was very strong in choosing to warm up his opponents. Therefore, the whole warm-up match in the first half of 2014 was a win-win situation.
To put it directly, only one game has been won, but considering the overall strength of the warm-up opponent Macedonia, this victory is not very convincing, especially the two warm-up games before the World Cup lost to Italy and Chile in a row, leaving Lippi to bear Too much public opinion pressure.
It was not easy to defeat Ivory Coast in the first round of the World Cup group stage.
Immediately, Lippi, who appeared in the broadcast, walked to Ivorian coach Ramucci, politely shaking hands and simple comfort.
Lippi is a well-known coach in the world football. When La Muchi played for Serie A teams Parma, Inter Milan, and Genoa, he had played against Juventus who Lippi briefly coached. Lippi was respectful, even if he lost the ball in a bad mood, he did not forget the basic etiquette.
As the best player selected by the official, the live guide also paid special attention to him. Many fans can see that Tang Zheng is slowly moving towards the mixed zone through the TV station without interrupting the live signal.
At this historic moment, Tang Zheng directly ignored those well-known foreign TV stations and chose to be interviewed by the most influential reporter of CCTV 5 in China.
Xiao Linzi, an intern reporter of Central 5 who graduated this year, was suddenly too late to transfer from other places because of the sudden cold of two labor colleagues, so he had to make him an intern to replace him, so he was worried that the wrong Xiao Linzi ’s brain was still drafting. Brewing, some absentminded.
Tang Zheng stood in front of the sponsor card and habitually extended his right hand to prepare to pick up the microphone, but the young reporter standing in front of him didn't hand it over for a long time ...
As a result, Tang Zheng's right hand froze in the air, his brows frowned unnaturally, other national media were watching, and the atmosphere became very embarrassing.
However, Tang Zheng was accustomed to the storms and waves. His vision was not only reflected in the football field, but also in his life. He saw the word "internship" written on the young reporter's card in front of him, so he stretched out his hand and looked A reporter younger than himself shook his eyes, pointing his right index finger at the microphone and jokingly said, "Hey ~ brother? You don't seem to want to interview me?"
Xiao Linzi, an intern reporter at Yang 5, finally relieved himself, and quickly handed the microphone with the wire in front of him to Tang Zheng, and kept apologizing: "Sorry, sorry, I just thought how to ask you questions, Some are distracted. "
"It's okay, don't be nervous, just ask what you think." Tang Zheng's image of the people reflected again, and he patted the reporter's shoulder again.
Xiao Linzi put a spectacle frame on his right hand and his brain was running fast. With a solid foundation, he gave a very common question: "Did you think about the victory before the game?"
Tang Zheng received the wired microphone in his right hand and said without hesitation: "Yes, of course there is. The tactics provided by Coach Lippi before the game are very reasonable. The shortcomings and tactical ideas of the Ivorian players have also been analyzed in detail. Playing his tactics, winning the game is an inevitable result. "
Tang Zheng said that the head of the road was right. Xiao Linzi, a reporter of Central 5, gradually got better. He asked the domestic fans what they wanted to hear: "We beat Côte d'Ivoire, and then there are Greece and seed team Colombia. Are you confident?"
"Of course there is confidence, but ..." Tang Zheng said here, paused, and said after a little thought: "But the game needs to be played one by one, but the result is not to think about it for the whole team. The process is good, and the results will not be bad. I believe my teammates can play in the next game and the next one is better. "
To answer two questions in a row, the interview time of CCTV 5 has also arrived, so Tang Zheng has to be interviewed by other foreign media of the organizing committee.
The signal of CCTV 5 was switched to the Beijing studio, and the commentator Song Shixiong apparently had not recovered from the joy of the Chinese team ’s victory. The passion was:
What is a leader? This is the leader! Know why Tang Zheng's career is so successful, because he never fears challenges! "
At the same time, Xiao Linzi, an intern reporter of Yang 5 who had just interviewed Tang Zheng, secretly wiped a cold sweat, but he was more excited and excited.
He has been a fan since he was sensible, to be precise, he is a fan of Tang Zheng and has a long experience.
At the time, the Football Association heavily punished Tang Zheng. Xiao Linzi, who is well-known in the hacker world, has hacked the official website of the Football Association many times to vent Tang Zheng.
It ’s amazing to be able to interview the idol in person!

After the regular press conference, the Chinese team coach Lippi, who was interviewed by the media, expressed the excitement of the team ’s victory and said that the next two rounds of the group stage became more critical. The international rankings of Greece and Colombia are very high. Close up, the strength is quite strong, Baoping is the core idea of ​​the Chinese team's remaining two games.
The team leader Zheng Zhi, who was with him, was even lower. He said: "It is more luck to win Côte d’ Ivoire, so the persuasion of winning the game is not very strong, so the next two group matches should maintain a higher degree of attention. Fight for points. "
Lippi speaks Italian, and Zheng Zhi speaks Chinese.
Through the official translation, foreign media reporters who came to the press conference hall of the Arena of Pernambuco felt very speechless.
This ... is simply getting cheap and selling well, especially the Ivorian domestic media, crying without tears.
The first round unexpectedly lost to the Chinese team, the second round will face the strong seed team Côte d'Ivoire, no accident is likely to lose, that is to say, two-game losing streak Côte d'Ivoire will be directly out.
The media from China is relatively speechless, but it is associated with the national team defeating Côte d’ Ivoire in the first round, which has a positive effect on the team ’s qualifying. There is no dissatisfaction. Anyway, the football game is based on performance.
The first round performance of the Chinese team is very qualified!
Returning to the hotel where the Chinese team stayed, many players were in a state of excitement, as was Tang Zheng.
This sense of excitement is even stronger than the 2012-2013 season that led Dortmund to win the Triple Crown.
But Tang Zheng was very forward-looking. The Chinese team's next World Cup group match against Greece was played at the Dune Stadium in Natal four days later.
The first training flight to Natal tomorrow is not big, but he knows that excessive excitement will affect the mental state the next day.
Bad mental state will naturally affect the quality of training the next day.
In tournament competitions, there are not many training sessions, so quality is generally sought after.
So Tang Zheng did n’t pay any attention after the brain was over. Now the time is close to twelve o'clock in Brazil local time. He patted his palm twice in the hotel lobby. The eyes of his teammates gathered and said: "Brothers, let's go to one In the reception room of the building, I have something to tell everyone, is it okay? "
Tang Zheng's influence in the national team is even greater than that of captain Zheng Zhi. Everyone has no opinion, including Zheng Zhi.
At the same time, he is pulling his assistant Madaloni and Chinese assistant Li Tie to discuss whether to have a meeting with the excited Chinese players, to avoid over-excitement and affect the state and the second round of the group stage.
But when they discussed the result, the Chinese player who was still in the lobby just followed Tang Zheng and walked inside.
Lippi raised his eyebrows, Li Tie asked in a low voice: "Marcelo, let me ask the situation?"
"No." Li Tie just turned around and Lippi shook his head: "I know what Tang is doing."
"Oh?"
Li Tie and Madaloni were very curious at the same time.
"If there is no wrong guess." Lippi smiled: "Tang's thinking should be the same as me. He is a phenomenal player, unmatched. I think ... he will be a great coach when he finishes his career."

In the hotel conference room, Chinese players have been here many times since they arrived in Recife, so they are not unfamiliar and everyone sits down casually.
Tang Zheng is also not foreshadowing. After his teammates sat down, he directly entered the theme: "I think the brothers here are still very excited?"
"Of course excited, the first match of the World Cup won!"
Lu Liang, who is very familiar with Tang Zheng, performed amazingly at the end of the group stage and said without hesitation.
"This is a must!" Gao Lin also took out his phone, the screen turned around, excitedly said: "I just sent a Weibo, there were thousands of comments, and there are already some after the game. Tens of thousands of comments, retweets and likes, which is great! "
"Don't really say, there are a lot of female fans confessing on Weibo comments, there are also private letters, and bold female fans directly send private pictures, my mother, he is explosive." Left-back Jiang Zhipeng said excitedly on you.
"Really?" Cai Huikang, who is also the root protection training base, opened his eyes and gave Jiang Zhipeng a "you know" look: "Let's borrow a step later to speak."
...
Other teammates also expressed their views one after another.
Tang Zheng smiled helplessly, but he knew what he was going to do, so he clapped his palms again: "Brothers, please stop for a while, I haven't finished my words yet."
After about five seconds, the entire meeting room became quiet, and everyone looked at Tang Zheng again.
It is not difficult to see that Tang Zheng's position in the Chinese men's football team is very high.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath, adjusted his state, his expression became serious, and said in a deep voice: "I know the brothers are very excited and excited now, but I hope you can better control your personal emotions, this is just our journey to the World Cup The first game, the first victory! Then there is Greece and a stronger Colombia. The last round of Colombia will not say, Greece is a very strong opponent. "
Speaking of which, Tang Zheng looked at Lu Liang, Yan Junling, Wu Sanshi, Zhang Linpeng, Hao Junmin, some of the more successful overseas players, the momentum is unabated: "There is no weak traveler in Europe, I think your experience is no better than what I want Shallow, we do n’t have any exciting capital now, and winning Côte d’ Ivoire is a thing of the past. I also know that saying this at this time makes people a little uncomfortable. I think I ’m pouring cold water, and I should celebrate now! But why should I say it? Because. "
This time Tang Zheng looked at everyone present, his voice was octave higher, and said loudly: "I have the same thought in your brain! I want to win in the next game! But ... if you keep your current thinking and Mental outlook, I think everyone ca n’t sleep tonight, it will seriously affect the state of tomorrow ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Four days later is the second round of the group stage, I do n’t want the brothers to be affected by the off-site factors. Play ... "
Tang Zheng said a lot in one breath, very direct, so that individual teammates were unhappy, but they had to be convinced by Tang Zheng.
Because every sentence that Tang Zheng said makes sense, the reason why European players can play stable, even weak teams may not lose a big score to strong teams, the biggest reason is that European players have a high degree of self-discipline and can regulate their personal emotions very well .
Especially Greece, where the overall strength gap is not large, is the team first.
Otherwise, how did you win the European Championship in 2004?
In his speech, Tang Zheng also mentioned the employment standard of the Li belt team. If the player is too excited to affect the training state the next day, then the head coach Lippi will be dissatisfied, and there is really no place to cry.
The tournament system has always had a intensive schedule, and many coaches will choose to rotate. Players who have not been able to play before have hope to get a chance to play.
Even if you do n’t get a starter, it ’s okay to come off the bench and show your face to the people of the whole country.
