Vol 4 Chapter 28: The top 8 in the future

With the referee blowing the long whistle on duty, in addition to the relatively calm performance of the Chinese team coach Lippi, the Chinese coaches on the home team including assistant coach Madaloni and others are excited and difficult to suppress.
Not to mention the Chinese fans in the stands, they danced like they were in the mood to receive the best gifts in childhood.
The Chinese players on the field felt the surging feeling from the heart, ecstatic, but more players wept with joy.
Even Tang Zheng, who scored twice in this game, felt the excitement from Chinese fans. He concealed his face with both hands. From the broadcast picture, it was more like knocking out the game than advancing to the top 16.
Tang Zheng's two goals are very exciting, it can be said that it determines whether the Chinese team can be promoted, especially his two goals are scored under the unfavorable situation of the Chinese team behind two goals, adding a lot of points, so was Officially rated as the best on the spot.
So the live broadcaster gave Tang Zheng a close-up shot of his face after the game. Tang Zheng covered his face with his hands in the broadcast screen, and there was an obvious tremor on both shoulders. It is not difficult to see that he is also very excited now.
In the past five seconds or so, Tang Zheng squeezed his mouth and bent halfway, using the large body to cover most of the broadcast picture, and then rubbed his face with both hands, specifically, the position of the eyes should be rubbed by hand.
The Chinese team's qualifying is historic, so the close-up shot of the live guide is continued to Tang Zheng.
His every move was presented in front of the TV.
Yang Wei's narrator, He Wei, had a hoarse throat, but he was still passionate and eloquent: "Drinking water does not forget the digging man! The reason why we can stand out from Group C is inseparable from Tang Zheng, and we can even say that there is no Tang Zheng , Our qualifying no longer exists! Maybe some fans do n’t think so, but I tell you the data is not deceptive! Three goals and one assist! Personal contribution up to 80%, and the World Cup 20 Tang Zheng's super play, we can't even enter the top ten! "
He Wei surging, the domestic fans in front of the TV are even more unrestrained. Numerous communities, streets, school dorms, Internet cafes and other places have all kinds of indescribable screams, crying and howling, just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
Fortunately, domestic news reports have revolved around the World Cup in Brazil these days, so many people know that four o'clock in the morning is the focus of the Chinese team's battle with Colombia.
Now you can hear the loud voices like a mountain tsunami. Obviously, it is the Chinese team that became the first Asian team to advance to the knockout tournament in this World Cup.
According to the performance of Asian teams in the first two rounds, the promotion of the Chinese team is likely to be the only one in the Asian team.
As a Chinese, even if it is not a fan, as long as Chinese football can go to the world, it is also a matter of pride.
In addition, the general secretary likes football, and all kinds of football promotion are carried out across the country. There are more and more people who like football. Now that the national team has succeeded in the World Cup stage, it is natural to be overjoyed.
British Sky commentator Andy Gray looked at Tang Zheng in the broadcast, and he felt with emotion: "If our national team can have a midfielder like Tang, why not worry about being eliminated in the knockout? He does not hesitate to run on a large scale and defend. Can play the role of Dinghai Shenzhen, and the offense can enrich the offensive routines in the frontcourt, and each game can guarantee at least 80% of the game's concentration, which is very rare, of course ... At this time, congratulations to the Chinese team, they become the current The eighth World Cup team to advance to the round of 16.
Martin Taylor turned his head and said to Andy Gray: "Old man, I must correct your statement. Don is not only maintaining 80% of the game's concentration, but ... 100%!"
Not to mention, he did not give Andy Gray the opportunity to speak, and continued: "The Chinese team, who advanced to the top 16 in the group second, will face the relatively weaker Group D first Costa Rica in the 1/8 final. They are a very good result, as long as they play normally, it is very possible to advance to the quarterfinals! "

Judging from the broadcast picture, Tang Zheng had obvious tears on both eyes.
Of course, this is a masterpiece of tears of joy.
As the well-deserved first star of the Chinese team, Tang Zheng naturally knows how many eyes are looking at himself.
Young people, always face-saving.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath to adjust his mental state, then gave a high-five to his teammates, hug and celebrate.
When he hugged every teammate and was ready to follow captain Zheng Zhi to thank the Chinese fans who were present, he saw his friend wearing a casual Falcao standing aside, so he said to his teammates and walked over with a smile.
"How? Romedal? My good brother." Tang Zheng extended his right hand.
Falcao is Colombia's biggest hero in the World Cup. He scored nine goals in the qualifiers. The team's top scorer was missing the World Cup because of an injury in the French Cup earlier this year, but the national team did not forget his hero.
Since there is no way to participate in the World Cup as a player, he can participate as an accompanying member of the national team.
Because of other delays before, I didn't communicate directly with Tang Zheng. This time I finally got a chance.
"First of all, congratulations! Congratulations on leading the national team into the 16th World Cup."
Romedal raised his right arm and held it tightly with Tang Zheng's right hand.
"Same joy and joy." Tang Zheng smiled: "Congratulations on your promotion to the top 16 in the group."
Speaking of which, Tang Zheng's meaningful words suddenly changed, saying cheaply: "I hope you can eliminate Uruguay in the 1/8 final."
The reason why Tang Zheng is so cheap is because he blinked at Falcao when he said it.
Fans who follow the Brazil World Cup South American Qualifiers know that Colombia ’s ability to qualify for the World Cup second place in South America is directly related to Falcao ’s excellent performance. It is worth mentioning that the two rounds of Falcao between Colombia and Uruguay Decide the game trend.
In the first round, Colombia's 4-0 home victory over Uruguay was the Falcao's opening two minutes of lightning. The lightning set the tone for the game. In the second round, Falcao's accumulated yellow cards were suspended, which directly affected Colombia's offensive efficiency in the frontcourt. 2 lost to Uruguay.
The two teams met in the World Cup 1/8 finals, and the results were unpredictable.
"I believe my teammates, they are the best." Fal gave Tang Zheng a white eye, then turned to look at Hames Rodriguez, said confidently: "Especially Hames! He has the ability to take this national team further. "
Tang Zheng followed Falcao's gaze to Hames Rodriguez, who was not yet 23 years old. Rarely, he did not laugh at Falcao again, laughing: "Hames is indeed a very promising one. Young player, from the first glance I saw him. "
At the end, Tang Zheng habitually joked: "If his performance can continue to shine, I think ... I may become a teammate with him next season."
"You guys? Teammates?" Falcao raised a frown. "Isn't it possible?"
Hames Rodriguez only transferred from Porto to Monaco and Falcao as teammates last summer. Will he transfer to Real Madrid next season?
Falcao certainly dare not imagine.
"Why not?" Tang Zheng glanced down at the serious Falcao and smiled: "Hames is young, has great potential, and everything is possible."
"That's true." Falcao listened to the high voices coming from above the court, tapped his head, felt like it was a bit possible, and then pointed to the fanatical atmosphere of the scene, laughing: "Your fans are too enthusiastic, we will change again. Have a good chat, by the way ... do n’t forget to invite guests! "
"Why treat guests?"
Tang Zheng looked stunned.
"If it weren't for me to let my teammates not be so forceful, do you think you can draw us?" Falcao said with a blushing heart.
"Really?" Tang Zheng glanced at Falcao playfully.
"of course!"
Falcao patted his chest.
"Yes." The national team advanced to the round of 16, and the opponent in the 1/8 finals was Costa Rica, who was relatively weak. Tang Zheng was in a good mood and put his arm around Falcao's right shoulder: "I invite you to eat after the World Cup Chinese food. "
"Deal!"
Tang Zheng and Falcao made a few more remarks before returning to their respective camps.
The Chinese fans at Pantanal Stadium are full of passion, and many non-professional fans are especially crazy under the leadership of the Dragon Team Fan Club. They danced and danced hysterically to express the pride in their hearts.
Captains Zheng Zhi and Tang Zheng and other players walked to the stand of the nearest Chinese fan, raised their arms high, and thanked the fans for their support by clapping their hands.
After the regular press conference, coach Lippi and Tang Zheng appeared in the press conference hall.
Physical media reporters and online media reporters from China looked very excited and could not wait for the start of the regular press conference after the game.
This game is the last round of the Chinese team and Group C of the round. The arrangement of the organizing committee is also inclined to the domestic media of the Chinese team.
Of course, the first opportunity to get interviews is the most enjoyable FI5 cooperation station. The reporter responsible for asking questions is still the young intern reporter Xiao Linzi. His excited expression is overwhelming.

While the Chinese team participated in the regular press conference after the game, CCTV 1 ’s news at 7 o’clock in the morning rarely used the Chinese men ’s football as the opening content. Therefore, many Chinese who do not pay attention to football gradually know that the previous one is like The Chinese men's football team that has been shouted and beaten by mice has become proud.
The 16th World Cup is the most glorious moment since the establishment of the Chinese men's football team!
But the 16th round is not the focus of this Chinese team, because the 1/8 finals face Costa Rica.
This is not to say that the Chinese team can beat Costa Rica 100%, but that Costa Rica ’s strength is much weaker than the other teams ’headlines, increasing the Chinese team ’s hope of winning.
Coupled with the fact that China's first star Tang Zheng sits in town, the odds of winning are greatly increased.
As the number one hero of the Chinese team's promotion to the top 16, Tang Zheng once again showed his face in front of the people of the whole country.
The Chinese players who returned to the hotel still had some difficulty in suppressing their pride in their hearts, but they thought that after reversing Côte d’ Ivoire, they drew against the Greek team. Many players forcibly suppressed their inner turmoil and prepared for the next 1/8 final.
According to the schedule of the Brazil World Cup Organizing Committee, the World Cup 1/8 finals of the Chinese team and Costa Rica will be played in five days. The city of the competition is Recife, which the Chinese team is relatively familiar with.
In that field, the Chinese team has very good memories.
3: 2 reversal of Côte d’ Ivoire and the first three points of the Chinese team ’s World Cup is also a crucial game victory.
At noon the next day, the Chinese team took a domestic Brazilian flight to Recife to prepare for the 1/8 final.
The last round of group games in Group e and Group f continued. The first two pairs of Group e France won the group ahead of schedule. In the final round, a large number of substitutes were sent. In the end, 0-0 was drawn against Ecuador. Switzerland won by three goals. Honduras received a promotion from the left in Group e.
The situation in group f is somewhat similar to that in group c. Prior to Argentina's two-game winning team ahead of the qualifying group, Nigeria had a win and a draw of four points, Iran had a draw and a negative score of one point, and Bosnia and Herzegovina had lost the game early.
Although Nigeria lost to Argentina in the final round 2: 3, but the Iranian team lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina, so Nigeria became another spending team in Group f.
While the Chinese team was preparing for the 1/8 finals, Tang Zheng was concerned about the situation in Group G.
The Portuguese team led by Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a blow in the first round, defeated the German team 0: 4, and drew the United States team in the second round. Fortunately, the German team drew Ghana in the second round and failed to advance to the top 16 ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ is equivalent to leaving Portugal a hint of promotion.
However, it is not optimistic for Portugal. In the first two rounds, Germany and the United States both scored four points, Portugal and Ghana both scored one point, but Portugal lost four goals in the first game, too many backward goals, and the last one The round match is again Germany vs. the United States, which means that as long as Germany and the United States reach a tie, even Portugal's final 10-0 victory over Ghana will not qualify.
It happened that Portugal and Ghana's group g final group match was played in the Arena of Recife, Pernambuco. The match time was at 8 o'clock local time in Brazil. Tang Zheng took his father and mother in his spare time. A girlfriend Zhao Lina went to the scene to watch Portugal's last group match, cheering Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo has always been injured, Tang Zheng knows, but Cristiano Ronaldo performed well, assisting teammates in the second round draw against the United States to equalize the score, the game is more active, rushing across the field.
However, the strength of other Portuguese players is significantly different from that of Cristiano Ronaldo, so Cristiano Ronaldo, who runs at any rate, is like a headless fly and hits the wall everywhere.
Fortunately, the result is not bad. Cristiano Ronaldo also scored a lore goal before the end of the game, but Portugal lost too many in the first round, even if the German team defeated the United States 1-0, they missed the top 16 and they won by three. The difference in the ball regrets to say goodbye to the Brazil World Cup ...
At the end of the game, the whistle sounded, and Cristiano Ronaldo covered his face with both hands, very helpless.
Tang Zheng, who stood in the stands, could understand the mood of Cristiano Ronaldo. Football is a team sport, and personal strength cannot make up for the overall strength of the team.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng felt very lucky.
Sixteen, there are eight in the future!
