"Whoa—"

The Nizhny Novgorod Arena resounded with the huge shouts of Chinese fans like a tsunami, wave after wave.

In stark contrast to the ready-made Croatian fans, who have yet to react......

A bewildered face!

The Croatian players on the pitch were no better, almost everyone had the same expression, a calm face, a blank look and no idea what they were thinking.

Captain Modric stood about 30 meters away from the goal with his hands on his hips, and just now he tried his best to chase back frantically, but compared to Tang Zheng's assault speed, he couldn't return to his position when Tang Zheng completed the shot.

Thirty seconds ago, he was still planning to kill the Chinese team's attack, and thirty seconds later, the Chinese team was completed by Tang Zheng!

Who can accept such a huge gap?

Four years ago, Brazil failed to qualify from the group stage in the World Cup, and four years later, the World Cup in Russia finally won three consecutive group wins to qualify for the first place in the group, and in the second round of the group, Argentina also beat a 3:0, which amazed the world.

But...... Who would have thought that Croatia, which is in hot form, would be defeated by the Chinese team in the 1/8 finals?

It may have been thought before the game that China could beat Croatia, but it was only a possibility, and it would be much more difficult for China to win the game than Croatia to win the game, even if the Chinese team got off to a dream start in less than a minute.

However, the game came to the fourth minute of injury time, and the legal stoppage time was over, which also meant that Croatia did not have time to equalize again!

Croatia coach Dalic put his hands in his trouser pockets and frowned, although he did not make any disgruntled movements, but it just proved his despair.

Many times it is not enough to express the desperation that arises, and the real despair is to accept it naturally.

Irreversible!

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, was particularly excited in the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, and he knew what this goal meant!

It means that the Chinese team has reached the quarterfinals of two consecutive World Cups!

The quarterfinals are Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo, although Portugal is the champion of the 2016 European Championship in France, but the overall strength of the Portuguese team is not so strong, and the Chinese team led by Tang Zheng is in the middle of the middle.

Thinking of the possibility of going one step further in the World Cup in Russia and reaching the semi-finals!

If you're lucky, it's not impossible to reach the final!

The other two 1/8 finals in the second half are Sweden VS Switzerland and England VS Colombia, Sweden and Switzerland are second-rate in Europe as a whole, England is first-class at best, Colombia is a little special, but not much better than the Chinese team......

After watching the whole process of Tang Zheng's goal, He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, was undiminished with passion, and shouted almost frantically: "From breaking the ball to scoring a goal, Tang Zheng only took 20 seconds! Four minutes of stoppage time have passed! The Croatians have no time to equalize again!"

Speaking of this, He Wei's voice changed, and L was slightly dissatisfied: "The referee Piñata should blow the end of the game!"

Countless Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV also think so, why not just blow the whistle at the end of the game?

※※※

Cristiano Ronaldo, who watched the 1/8 finals between the Chinese team and Croatia at the hotel, was surprised and a little panicked at the same time.

In the quarter-finals, if Croatia were to be the quarter-finals, he would be confident that he would be able to lead his country to defeat Croatia and equal Eusebio's record of leading Portugal to the semi-finals in 1966.

The team as a whole has played well and there is a good chance of reaching the final.

However, facing the Chinese team led by Tang Zheng in the quarterfinals, Cristiano Ronaldo was a little lacking in confidence.

Friend Quaresma reached out and patted Cristiano Ronaldo on the right shoulder, and said with a meaningful smile: "Our strongest captain is afraid of the next quarter-final opponent? ”

Cristiano Ronaldo has always been very good-looking, so he naturally didn't want to show a lack of confidence in front of his friends, he stared at Tang Zheng who was given to the broadcast screen, and said confidently: "How is it possible? The Chinese team is the opponent I dream of encountering, because ...... I'm going to beat him with dignity!"

"Okay!" Quaresma, who will turn thirty-five in two months, patted Cristiano Ronaldo on the shoulder again and said solemnly: "I will definitely cooperate with you, Cristiano!"

"Good brother!" Cristiano Ronaldo tapped his head, and then his voice changed: "But...... Ricardo, can you shoot a light next time?"

Quaresma laughed embarrassedly: "Pay attention next time, pay attention next time, haha~"

……

France was eliminated from the Argentine Cup and the team was disbanded on the spot, but Messi, as the captain, did not start the holiday like other teammates, but took his wife and children to Moscow to 'heal'.

Messi naturally didn't watch the game between the Chinese team and Croatia, but he was not very comfortable to see the Chinese team scoring a goal by Tang Zheng in the final stage of injury time, according to the overall strength, Argentina is much stronger than the Chinese team.

But that's the game of football!

A strong team may not be able to stay......

Messi has mixed emotions, with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal advancing to the quarterfinals, and now the Chinese team led by Tang Zheng has more than 99% chance of advancing to the quarterfinals, while Argentina, as the favorite to win the championship, missed the quarterfinals.

It's a terrible feeling.

Antonella didn't say anything, she lay on Messi's chest like a docile meow.

Silence is better than sound at this point.

……

Antoine Griezmann, who led France to the quarterfinals, sat in his hotel room at this time, with high morale.

Tang Zheng can lead the unoptimistic Chinese team to the quarterfinals, so the French team led by him should at least advance to the finals, right?

The king of Sanya in 2016 will realize his dream of winning the World Cup in 2018!

※※※

The Chinese team's celebration lasted for nearly a minute, until referee Pinata couldn't stand it anymore and signaled that the game was not completely over.

"Woo-woo-"

The Chinese fans in the stands were clearly unhappy with referee Piñata's approach, so they booed.

They believe that referee Piñata will either blow the game straight away or continue to celebrate the goal for the Chinese team.

A real stunner goal, why are you in such a hurry to restart the game?

Could it be that Croatia still have time to equalize again?

The referee, of course, doesn't want to be a villain, but sometimes there is no way, who makes him the referee?

The Chinese players celebrating the goal were obviously a little unsatisfied, and the emotional Zhang Linpeng deliberately waved his arms excitedly towards the direction of the fans of the 'Dragon Team' fan club after getting up, inciting the excitement of the fans.

Several other players with distinct personalities followed suit, fanning the excitement of the fans.

"Whoa—"

Suddenly, the huge boos that erupted over the Nizhny Novgorod Arena suddenly turned into a huge shout like a mountain and a tsunami.

The celebration of the Chinese players indirectly cleared the siege of head coach Piñata, so Pinata did not rush too much, but slowly ran to the middle.

Croatia head coach Dalic was still making a final push when he made a third change as the Chinese players walked towards their own half, replacing full-back Fosariko with Kalinic.

The on-site director switched cameras, and the CCTV 5 commentator He Wei smiled: "Croatian coach Dalic is still making the last struggle, injury time has come to the fifth minute, and it is impossible for the referee to give Croatia a few more chances to attack!"

Tang Zheng's goal was scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time, and the referee Piñata did not directly sound the end of the game in accordance with the normal football game regulations, and I believe that when Croatia restarts the game, Piñata will blow the whistle for the end of the game. ”

Commentator Xu Yang said in a slightly hoarse voice.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray turned his head to look at his old partner Andy Gray: "Is Zlatko Dalic still making his final struggle?"

"Of course!" laughed guest commentator Martin Taylor, "but ...... If I were the Croatian manager, I would be ready to wait for the game to end. ”

Of course, there are commentators who ridicule Dalic's approach, and naturally there are commentators who support Dalic.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said: "Although the game no longer means anything to Croatia, the approach of head coach Zlatko Dalic is to tell all the Croatian players on the pitch that as long as the referee does not blow the whistle for the end of the game, they still have a chance to equalize!"

However, the Croatian players on the pitch did not have much mood swings, and even Mandzukic, who was scrappy in any game, could not lift his spirits, let alone the other players.

At the same time, Tang Zheng, the captain of the Chinese team, kept saying to his teammates as he walked back: "The game is not over yet! As long as the referee's whistle doesn't blow at the end of the game, Croatia will have a chance to attack with the ball! I don't want to be the laughing stock of the whole world! I think you are the same, right?"

Tang Zheng said it very directly, but his teammates did not have any dissatisfaction, because the World Cup knockout round is different from other competitions, and any negligence may bring about a catastrophe.

Besides, it is not without joy and sorrow in world football, and there will be no shortage of meat when the game is over......

"Beep~"

With a whistle from referee Pinata, substitute Kalinic passed the ball to Luka Modric just outside the arc of the centre circle.

Modric's face was heavy, and he was about to pass the ball forward, and he suddenly had a spirit, and a yellow figure appeared in front of him.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei was so excited that he couldn't help but shout: "Yeerfan is very fast!

"Beep~Beep~Beep~~"

As soon as the words fell, the referee on duty, Piñata, blew the whistle, two short and one long.

※※※

"It's over!

He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, was ecstatic, and his heartbeat accelerated to the extreme: "The Chinese team once again exceeded the score with a valuable goal scored by Tang Zheng in the last ten seconds of injury time!2:1!! After the World Cup in Brazil, it advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup again! Challenged Portugal led by Ronaldo in the quarterfinals!"

"Although Portugal unexpectedly won the European Championship in France two years ago, but chance plays a big role, I believe that the Chinese team will definitely be able to defeat the Portuguese national team led by Cristiano Ronaldo in the quarterfinals at the Fisht Olympic Stadium and advance to the semifinals of the World Cup in a record!"

The narrator Xu Yang was like boiling water in a frenzied atmosphere, and his excitement was about to overflow.

Whoop –

The Chinese fans in the Nizhny Novgorod Arena boiled over the moment the referee Pinata blew the whistle for the end of the match, creating a wave of huge shouts that resounded throughout the stadium.

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng the first time, and Tang Zheng won two yuan in this game!

The undisputed best of the best!

The Croatian players could be seen recovering from their sudden death, lying on the ground with their hands over their faces.

The Croatian fans in the stands were like ashes, they really didn't expect that the national team, which had a better overall strength, would lose to the Chinese team led by Tang Zheng......

It is not difficult to see that Croatian fans are actually very unconvinced.

If the Chinese team can defeat Croatia with the excellent performance of the whole team in the game, Croatian fans have nothing to say, the problem is that the victory of the Chinese team depends entirely on Tang Zheng's excellent performance.

This...... Is it still team-oriented football?

No!

This is a movement that relies on Tang Zheng to achieve victory!

Tang Zheng, as the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's victory, is undoubtedly the most popular one in the game.

He was about to walk to the stands where his wife, children, and parents were, and he was soon thrown to the ground by his passionate teammates to celebrate his advancement to the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

Immediately, the broadcast picture was given to the head coach of the Chinese team, Lippi.

Four years ago, Lippi led the Chinese team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, and the quarterfinals also drew with the Netherlands in 120 minutes, but unfortunately lost in the final penalty shootout, resulting in missing the semi-finals.

Four years later, the Chinese team was able to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup again in addition to Tang Zheng's excellent performance, which is directly related to Lippi's tactical arrangement.

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV saw Lippi happy like a child, and they also cried with joy.

Lippi, who has reached the age of 70, once again led the Chinese team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, which is not easy!

While Chinese commentators are full of enthusiasm for China's return to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, British Sky commentators Andy Gray and Martin Taiti have analysed the quarter-finals at the Fisht Olympic Stadium five days later.

Don and Cristiano Ronaldo were team-mates for three seasons at Real Madrid, leading Real Madrid to become the first team to successfully defend the title since the Champions League was restructured, but unfortunately the good times were short-lived, and the relationship between the two plummeted for some reason, which led to a plummeting team performance, and eventually the older Cristiano Ronaldo returned to England...... When we meet in the World Cup in two years' time, who will win?"

Andy Gray said methodically.

"This is a fateful battle decided by God, will Tang lead the Chinese team to the semi-finals, or will Cristiano Ronaldo lead Portugal to the semi-finals......? I'm more optimistic about Don, don't ask me why, this game just ended has shown that Don's team is invincible!"
