With the last minute goal of Tang Zheng in injury stoppage time, the Chinese team made a lore at the Nizhny Novgorod Arena and became the fourth team to advance to the World Cup in the 2018 Russia World Cup.

In the quarter-finals, the Chinese team will face Portugal, which defeated the host Russia.

Had early speculation about the media that might appear in this contest. Now that speculation has become a reality, it has naturally become the focus of everyone’s attention.

Tang Zheng, who celebrated the victory of the game with his teammates, was quickly caught up by reporters in the mixed zone. As in the past, Tang Zheng preferred to be interviewed by domestic media reporters before accepting media interviews with relatively good relations or good reputation.

Although there is nothing to be hacked to the level of Tang Zheng, but leading the team to the quarterfinals, the next preparation is particularly important. He does not want the media’s public opinion to affect the preparation of his teammates.

Especially when the next match is to face Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo, in his mind, this game is only allowed to win but not to lose!

Face is very important, national glory is more important!

Four years ago, the penalties defeated the Netherlands, and four years later, Portugal, which is not strong in overall strength, must go further!

Nizhny Novgorod Arena is completely reduced to a sea of ​​joy for Chinese fans, wave after wave.

Whether it is a Chinese fan on the stadium or a Chinese fan outside the stadium, they are celebrating wildly, venting the great excitement of the national team’s promotion to the World Cup quarter-finals again.

Croatia is not a team comparable to the Chinese team, but a team with an overall strength stronger than the Chinese team. In this case, it can still win the game. How many shows that the Chinese team has a chance to win a stronger ball than its own team.

In the quarter-finals against Portugal, there is a high probability of winning!

Tang Zheng did not forget his lost friend Modric. After accepting the media interview, he actively walked to Modric who was still sitting on the grass.

Modric looked up, it was Tang Zheng’s familiar smile.

I don’t know why, Modric’s calm face subconsciously turned into a smile, and then rolled his eyes.

“It seems … you don’t need my comfort, Luca.” Tang Zheng said playfully.

Modric felt Tang Zheng’s ridicule, and did not go further, but stood up with Tang Zheng’s right hand extended, and then actively changed the topic: “Congratulations, Tang, you got together with Cristiano in the quarter-finals. . “

“How do I feel that you are a bit sour?”

Tang Zheng said, covering his nose.

“Go, go.” Modric was speechless: “I want to beat Cristiano’s Portugal, but you guys have eliminated us!”

Speaking of this, Modric suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: “Tang, your teacher told me, have you seen the defensive weaknesses you have seen?”

Tang Zheng shrugged and spread his hands: “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Modric smiled and said to himself: “I was just guessing, but now I know the answer, you guys are really terrible! It’s just using the free time I saw! Fortunately, the club is teammate.”

“Actually, you can abandon Croatian nationality and join our Chinese national team.” Tang Zheng blinked: “Four years later we can work together in Qatar to launch an impact on the Hercules Cup.”

“Too lazy to care about you.” Modric smiled and gave Tang Zheng a punch in the left chest, then took off the jersey and handed it to Tang Zheng: “Change the jersey, I should also comfort my teammates.”

“OK!”

The Chinese team defeated Croatia 2-1 to become the fourth team to advance to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, bursting a big upset, but taking into account that the Chinese team’s two goals were scored by Tang Zheng, but also few A lot of news about the Chinese team’s upset.

In the perception of many media, as long as Tang Zheng played well, any team can be defeated!

Croatia is at best a world-class strong team, and can not occupy the top with the top strong team, otherwise it has long been described by the media as one of the favorites to win the championship.

However, the Chinese team who defeated Croatia has become the focus of global media attention, because Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo will compete for the first time in the World Cup as the captains of their respective national teams.

At the club level, Tang Zheng defeated Cristiano Ronaldo, so … what about the national team level?

Global media is roughly divided into two types. One is that the Chinese team led by Tang Zheng defeats Portugal to advance to the semi-finals, and the other is that Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in good shape, leads Portugal to defeat the Chinese team.

Although the Portuguese national team is not a popular championship, but the overall strength is still considerable, significantly stronger than the Chinese team led by Tang Zheng.

Therefore, it is really hard to say who will advance to the semi-finals of this World Cup. Coupled with Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo ’s ‘old hatred’ deliberately excavated by the media, this game will be full of attention.

The Chinese team who defeated Croatia was still excited after returning to the hotel, but the coach Lippi did not interfere with the players because he knew that deliberately suppressing the players’ emotions would bring rebellious psychology.

And Portugal’s quarter-finals have five days left, players have plenty of time to prepare, sleep late and sleep late.

Has no effect!

At noon the next day, the Chinese team took a charter flight from Nizhny Novgorod south to Sochi, the southernmost point.

For the city of Sochi, the Chinese team and Chinese fans are no strangers, because the third group match between the Chinese team and Peru is played at Sochi Fisht Olympic Stadium.

The game ended with a 1: 1 battle between the two sides, but the Chinese team scored four points in the previous two games. The victory and defeat in the last game is not particularly important, even if you lose, the coach Lippi is conscious of letting some players never play. The World Cup players made their debut.

This match against Portugal at the Sochi Fish Olympic Stadium, the Chinese team is full of fighting spirit, and the enthusiasm for the recovery training in the afternoon is so high that it is not like a team that went to midnight last night.

However, head coach Lippi considered that the players were too high last night, and the intensity of the first training class arrived in Sochi was very low, focusing on recovery.

There were two 1/8 finals at Samara Stadium and Rostov-on-Don Stadium at 6 pm and 9 pm in Russian time on that day, Brazil VS Mexico and Belgium VS Japan.

There was no suspense in the match between Brazil and Mexico. Firmino and Neymar scored two goals in the second half to beat Mexico.

There is no suspense in the 1/8 finals of Belgium and Japan. After all, the Belgian lineup is too luxurious. The Japanese team is able to qualify for the group more because of luck, but no one thought that the Japanese team will score two goals at the beginning of the second half. , Ahead of Belgium.

Fortunately, Virtonghen and Fellaini scored two goals in five minutes to equalize the score, and then in the injury time stoppage time Chadley scored a lore goal, thus advancing thrillingly into the World Cup Quarterfinals.

The last two quarter-finals places are Sweden and England, which means that the four matches in the quarter-finals are Uruguay VS France, Brazil VS Belgium, Sweden VS England and Portugal VS China.

The quarterfinals were decided and the World Cup entered a two-point rest period.

Of course, this is for fans who care about the World Cup.

On behalf of their respective national teams to advance to the quarterfinals, players must seize the time to prepare for the short gap, so as to go further and reach the quarterfinals!

In fact, the game came to the quarter-finals. The tactics of each team have been formed. They will no longer run in the new tactics. They are more familiar with and studying the tactics of their opponents. Therefore, the preparation of the Chinese team revolves around recovery, Familiarity and research.

The two matches on the first match day of the 2018 World Cup quarter-finals in Russia are Uruguay VS France and Brazil VS Belgium. The preparation for the Chinese team is also in the final stage. Before the end of the game, as in the past few days, coach Lippi Arranged the players for the penalty shootout training.

Four years ago, the Chinese team was eliminated by the Netherlands in the quarter-final penalty. Four years later, if they enter the penalty shootout again, they cannot fall in the same pit.

Penalty training is not a simple five rounds, but each player must kick three times in a loop, the goalkeepers are Yan Junling, Zeng Cheng and Wang Xiaolei respectively.

Football matches are constantly changing, and any possibility is possible, so every player may appear on the penalty list of the penalty shootout.

Training naturally cannot be compared with the game of real swords and guns. After all, the pressure experienced by the players in penalty shootouts cannot be described in words, so the penalty rate in training is very high.

But as the number one goalkeeper for Dortmund, Yan Junling performed quite well. Excluding the two goalkeepers and his 20 players, he saved a total of five penalties, a pretty impressive number!

Know that the penalty shootouts are generally five rounds, unless there is no winner after five rounds.

Twenty goals save five goals, which is equivalent to one of four goals. In a thrilling penalty shootout, one goal save may help the team win the penalty shootout!

For the data handed over by Yan Junling, the Chinese team is very satisfied.

The goalkeeper of the second round was Zeng Cheng. Compared with Yan Junling, his save success rate was much lower. Only three of the 20 goals were saved. Two of the teammates who took the penalty did not hit the goal range. .

Zeng Cheng’s success rate is lower than Yan Junling’s. Lippi and his coaching staff thought of it in advance. Besides, the position of goalkeeper is very special and will not be easily rotated.

The third round was played by Wang Xiaolei. The players who took the first few rounds of the punishment were Lippi ’s ideal punishment player, with a very high percentage of hits.

Because of his height limitation, the penalty player knew Wang Xiaolei ’s shortcomings and chose to play both the lower corner and the upper corner, so he did n’t save a ball until the fifteenth round. Wang Xiaolei was in a bad mood about it and mentally implied that he must To save Shi Ke’s penalty.

Shi Ke is the central defender. His footwork is naturally not very good. In the past two cycles, he mainly shot shots, hitting one and punishing one.

“Beep ~”

With the whistle of Li Tie, the guest referee, Shi Ke assisted to raise his right thigh.

Wang Xiaolei’s eyes condensed, and the whole person was like smelling a **** shark, struggling hard with his left foot, but at this moment, he felt a sudden pain in his powerful left calf, and the body he was about to take off fell.

Shi Ke can take a penalty to destroy the goal, but no one pays attention to the goal, but looks at Wang Xiaolei who frowns and tries to exert his left foot.

After a simple diagnosis by the team doctor, Wang Xiaolei confirmed that it was a strain of soleus muscle, which was considered to withdraw from this World Cup early.

But the penalty training did not end there. Head coach Lippi turned his head to look at Yan Junling: “Yan, you keep keeping the goal.”

At this time, Tang Zheng suddenly grabbed Yan Junling who was about to walk to the goal and blinked at the coach Lippi: “Hey ~ head, I want to feel the feeling of being a goalkeeper, is that okay?”

If it is another player, Lippi will definitely refuse on the spot, Tang Zheng is different.

Thinking about it, the adverse situation of the player ’s injury in the preparation, the player ’s mood must be affected, and it is inevitable that he will not become the second Wang Xiaolei in the intensive training. As the captain, Tang Zheng actively applied as a goalkeeper to complete the third round of penalty training It has the function of distracting players’ attention.

What is a captain?

This … is the captain!

So Lippi nodded slightly: “No problem.”

Media reporters and fans watching the Chinese team training outside the Fisht Olympic Stadium were surprised. They even saw Tang Zheng taking the gloves handed over by Yan Junling and standing in front of the goal.

This … is it to be a goalkeeper?

Several seconds later, they confirmed that Tang Zheng was a guest goalkeeper, and that Wang Xiaolei, who had been injured and left the field, had not completed my task.

However, journalists and fans who often follow the training of Real Madrid are not surprised ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Tang Zheng will also occasionally visit the goalkeeper during the training of Real Madrid’s team. In addition to the very difficult shots, the height is outstanding, the response, the pre-judgement Tang Zheng, who is very good, is also very impressive in the success rate of saving.

The last four penalty shooters were Wu Xi, He Chao, Deng Hanwen and Liu Yiming.

Really do n’t say, Tang Zheng standing at the door with a height of 1.94 meters with open arms gives a very depressing feeling, except for Wu Xi who scored the ball in the upper left corner of the goal, He Chao, Deng Hanwen and Liu Yiming were all predicted. Tang Zheng, who was very accurate, threw himself out.

According to the success rate of consecutive saves, Tang Zheng is even higher than goalkeeper Yan Junling.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the low level of the penalty kick players.

Tang Zheng, as a goalkeeper, completed the Chinese team’s last practice before the game and became a hot topic in the media and fans online.

Many fans posted on Weibo and Twitter that Tang Zheng was a goalkeeper who was delayed by goals and assists, otherwise the Chinese team in the last World Cup quarter-final penalty shootout might well win the Dutch team.

Tang Zheng was very satisfied to see that the fans had heatedly dispelled the unfavorable atmosphere of Wang Xiaolei’s absence from the rest of the World Cup.

At five o’clock local time in Russia, Uruguay faced the championship-winning French team at the Nizhny Novgorod Arena. The French team defeated Uruguay with two goals in the first and second half of Valane and Grezman to defeat Uruguay and took the lead. Semifinal.

At 8 pm, Brazil faced Belgium at the Kazan Stadium. Because of the opportunity, luck and referee factors, Brazil won the championship by 1-2 and lost to Belgium. Unfortunately, it was eliminated.
