Chapter 269 Do You Dare to Fight the Host?

This is far from the end of the Chinese team's goals, but just the beginning. Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team once again expanded its advantage-after the midfield steal, the Chinese team quickly advanced along the left to the front of the opponent's penalty area. It was impossible for the Kuwaiti players to reach out to open the opponent. After Chen Pengfei accelerated his breakthrough and pushed across the goal, Jiang Hao stabbed vigilantly in the dense siege. The distance of one meter in front of the goal completely made the Kuwaiti goalkeeper unable to react in time. Successfully arrived and rolled into the lower left corner of the goal.

After the goal, Gao Hongbo finally walked from the coach's bench to the side of the court and applauded Jiang Hao. This goal meant that the game was basically stable.

Back in the locker room at the midfield, Gao Hongbo emphasized on being good at himself. The pace of the second half can be slowed down a bit, but every opportunity created must be seized as much as possible: "This kind of waste of opportunities, even if this game can pass , you will be punished sooner or later. If you feel that you are not sure, don't be greedy for credit and give the ball to Zhou Tiancheng!"

Zhou Tiancheng felt flattered: "Don't, Director Gao, I can't score every shot."

He wanted to be humble at first, because he was not close enough with his teammates of the national team - naturally not because of conflicts, but because in the eyes of the local international players, in addition to the relationship with the teammates of the national team, his personal aura was even more important. hard to erase. He appeared in the headlines of domestic sports news, basically in the same frame as those legendary top European stars. Over time, these people regarded him as an unattainable god. Although many of them are content with receiving high salaries in China, but when they are with Zhou Tiancheng, they still lack confidence. Richer than Zhou Tiancheng? It might not be comparable, and in terms of fame...it's not a level, they are at most dick-level existences in world football.

Zhou Tiancheng actually wants to shorten the psychological distance between him and his teammates in the national team. He hopes to have an atmosphere like Schalke, but when it comes to games, it will always reflect his particularity in this team.

For example, now Gao Hongbo just said, "I'm not sure about passing it on to Zhou Tiancheng." Zhou Tiancheng wanted to refuse, but Gao Hongbo directly lowered his face and emphasized seriously: "Don't be modest, Xiao Zhou, you are in Schalke. I watched every game, the team is really not going well offensively, you are the captain, you have to take responsibility."

Zhou Tiancheng stopped talking, turned his head and glanced around, and found that his teammates all glanced at him, he really felt dumbfounded.

"Brother Cheng, what's your expression? The head coach trusts you. It's a good thing. You don't seem to be happy." Jiang Hao said quietly.

Zhou Tiancheng sighed, he really didn't want to stand out so much, but now it's a luxury to keep a low profile.

...

In the second half, the players followed Gao Hongbo's deployment, and the team's overall rhythm slowed down. They were not in a hurry to put pressure on Kuwait's defensive hinterland. Under Zhou Tiancheng's series connection, the Chinese team was always in the middle circle. Two or three of them back and forth, neither passing back nor pushing forward, giving people a feeling of taking control of the game by strolling around.

CCTV commentator Liu Jianhong, like the fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, was in a good mood, and commented with a smile: "The mentality of the players is really relaxed. In a big game like the Asian Cup, the second half actually started to play."

If it was the past, Liu Jianhong would definitely worry that the Chinese team was too relaxed and playing with fire. The root cause of painful lessons such as "black three minutes" and "black five minutes" is often his own slack.

But now no one will worry about this, because within two or three passes, Zhou Tiancheng will definitely catch the ball once.

Liu Jianhong's statement is euphemistic. Judging from the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Chinese team is walking the dog!

Of course, when a rabbit is in a hurry, it wants people, and a dog is in a hurry, it is understandable to jump out and show its teeth. In the second half, the Kuwaiti players wanted to play against Zhou Tiancheng more than once. Fortunately, Zhou Tiancheng faced various types of midfielders in Europe. The pass and movement were completed almost at the same time, and the speed was generally faster than that of Asian-level opponents. One shot, this didn't let the opponent succeed. However, Gao Hongbo replaced Zhou Tiancheng after 75 minutes to be on the safe side.

Although this further weakened the team's offense, Kuwait has also been beaten and demoralized. The Chinese team does not need to score any more goals, but only needs to keep the fruits of victory. For the current players on the field, it is quite simple.

In the first show of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team led by Gao Hongbo maintained the tradition of winning the first game of the Asian Cup. Kuwait coach Tufigzić was completely convinced, and directly admitted that he was not on the same level as the Chinese team. However, Gao Hongbo was as low-key as ever in the post-match press conference: "The real test will start from the next game. Today we practiced for the first time. I am very happy that the results have been achieved. The players have defeated themselves and brought their training level to the next level." It showed. But Qatar is the real test and the hosts have never been easy."

As the head coach, Gao Hongbo's standard is inevitably higher than that of ordinary fans. After all, the game in front of him is just the first step, and the current efficiency makes him a little worried about the next games against Qatar and Uzbekistan. Those two opponents are much stronger than Kuwait, and they are the sufferers of the Chinese captain's time.

But fans have different standards. At least the performance of the Chinese team in the whole game was not to be challenged. The scene was like a confrontation between adults and elementary school students. Such a scene made many hardcore national football players who were afraid to speak out due to the pressure of public opinion bubble up at this time

"Suddenly, I feel that Gao Hongbo's words about military training are very meaningful. We won the first game, and it was just training! Do you feel very confident!"

"Upstairs +1, I don't know how far the national team can go this time, but as far as this first show is concerned, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. There are no loopholes in both offense and defense. Don't say Kuwait is third-rate in Asia. In the past two or three years When did the national team win so neatly against the third-tier players in Asia?"

"The three group matches this time should not be battles of debut, battles of life and death, and battles of honor. Looking at this posture, the next two games are very likely to become qualifying battles and training battles. Of course, how far can the knockout match go? Let's see when Zhou Tiancheng opens his arsenal, the only thing I'm not happy about in this match is that I didn't see his world wave!"

"Although I really want to endure it, my hands are still itchy. Let's start with a wave of 666. The rest of the score depends on the performance in the next game. Whether this Asian Cup is really good, it depends on the next game. Do the hosts dare to behave like today, the time for revenge has come."
