What is the saying?

A sheep leading a flock of lions cannot defeat a lion leading a flock of sheep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the outside world, the Chinese team is actually a group of sheep to be slaughtered, and it has been the case for the past ten years, the difference is only that at the beginning it is a goat, and when it encounters danger, it can lower its head and fight with the horns on its head, and then it transforms into a docile sheep, and when it encounters danger, it will only shrink into a ball, or run away.

But this time things are different. Chu Zhongtian is undoubtedly not a sheep, but a lion, and his addition is like a lion leading a flock, which makes the combat effectiveness of this flock increase dramatically.

The train runs fast because of the headband. With a locomotive like Chu Zhongtian, how can the broken train of the Chinese team run at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, right?

Don't underestimate the speed of 120 kilometers per hour, thank God the former national football team can run 60 kilometers.

In this way, the Chinese team, under the leadership of the lion Chu Zhongtian, launched wave after wave of offensives against Kuwait.

The Kuwaitis themselves did not expect that their first opponent would be so difficult to deal with.

It stands to reason that based on experience, the strength of the Chinese team is very average, and they still have a "fine tradition" of dropping the chain as soon as they arrive at the competition, so this game should be easy for Kuwait to win.

Let's take a look at how bad the Chinese team performed at the Asian Games in Guangzhou...... Who would have thought that the team in front of them, which is constantly attacking their backline, is also called China?

The Kuwaitis apparently made the same mistake as many Chinese by confusing the national Olympic team with the national team...... When Chu Zhongtian blasted open the door of the Kuwaiti team with a long-range shot in the 23rd minute, the game was completely on a different track.

All the Kuwaitis had calculated before did not come in handy, and they completely fell into the rhythm controlled by Chu Zhongtian and could not extricate themselves.

The lead also boosted the morale and confidence of the teammates of the Chinese team, and their performance in the subsequent games became better and better.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Kuwait 1-0 under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian scored the only goal of the game.

In this game, Chu Zhongtian fully showed his talent in both offense and defense, whether it was attacking or defending, the opponent couldn't do anything about him. When attacking, he has a variety of means, you go to defend his shot, he will give you a long shot; You watch out for his long-range shots, and he tears through your defence with clever passes; You can defend him from passing or shooting, and he can break through with the ball, and although his dribbling skills are not the best in the world, he is strong enough in Asia.

In defence, he always shows up in the most critical positions in time and then makes the most critical moves. The defense of the Chinese team is not monolithic, but whenever there is a loophole, the first one to rush back to make up for it must be Chu Zhongtian.

In the game, the commentator He Ping sighed more than once that Chu Zhongtian was so powerful that after the game, a good person posted a post on the Internet, counting how many times He Ping said "Chu Zhongtian is really amazing" in this game.

However, Chu Zhongtian's performance in this game was indeed outstanding, and he was awarded the best of the game by the media after the game, and he was the brightest star of the game, even without that goal.

He sent the football to the feet of his teammates many times in this game, and if it wasn't for the lack of ability of his teammates to take chances, this game would definitely not be 1:0. Just from the score, it is easy to think that the Chinese team won very thrillingly, or by luck. But in fact, anyone who watched the game would have thought that the victory was fair for the Chinese team, for the simple reason that the Chinese team had Chu Zhongtian, while the Kuwait team did not.

After this game, the other teams in the Asian Cup further understood how important Chu Zhongtian's core was for the Chinese team, so the opponents of the Chinese team made it easier to do everything possible to contain Chu Zhongtian.

As long as you can make him play abnormally, even if it's a foul, it doesn't matter, if you can get him injured directly, it's even better.

Of course, Rangnick also pays attention to his most proud disciple, and he also knows how Chu Zhongtian will be treated after his outstanding performance in the first game, which makes him worried.

Chu Zhongtian himself seemed very indifferent, training as usual.

The good news is that after this battle, the atmosphere in the team has become more positive, and everyone is willing to believe that under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian, the Chinese team is really likely to win the championship.

Relying on this victory, the domestic public opinion has also criticized the national football team a lot less, although there are still voices saying that this is a victory for Chu Zhongtian, not a victory for the Chinese team, but Chu Zhongtian was originally a member of the Chinese team, why should he be so clear? In last year's World Cup, many teams relied on the flash of inspiration of a certain star, but no one said that it was only the victory of one person, not the victory of the whole team.

The good thing for Chu Zhongtian is that after this battle, his reputation in the country is unprecedentedly high, and this is not the highest, with the victory of the team, his popularity will increase further.

After the game, Chu Zhongtian's photos during the game and the interview he accepted after the game were on the front page of the official website of the AFC, and the local media in Qatar also published a large photo of him.

The AFC's comment is that "the star of China shines on Asia", which is a high evaluation. However, it is not the first time that he has been on the front page of the official AFC website. In the just-ended 2010, although Chu Zhongtian did not participate in the World Cup, but with his outstanding performance in the club, he still beat South Korean star Park Ji-sung and was elected Asian Footballer of the Year, which is the second time in a row that he has won this award, and he was also on the homepage of the AFC official website at that time.

※※※ In the second round of the group stage, the Chinese team played against Qatar.

In the game, it can be clearly seen that the referee is biased towards the host's side, as long as there is physical contact, it is the Qatari player who falls, and the Chinese team will immediately blow the foul. The Qatar team fouled the Chinese team players, and the referee didn't say anything, but gave a verbal warning when he couldn't say anything.

Chu Zhongtian was naturally closely guarded by the other party and suffered a lot of black feet.

During the game, Gao Hongbo was very dissatisfied below, rushed out of the coach's seat again and again, and protested to the fourth referee emotionally.

Of course he had to be in a hurry. My core players let the opponent toss so much, what if I am injured and can't play in the future?

It's not like nothing like this has happened to the Chinese team. In the 2002 World Cup, Sun Jihai, as the representative of China's overseas players at that time, was expected to be high, but the first World Cup group stage against Costa Rica was shoveled by the opponent after just over 20 minutes.

Later, some people regarded Sun Jihai's departure as a turning point in this game. His injury took a big toll on the morale of the Chinese team.

Similarly, Gao Hongbo was also worried that Chu Zhongtian would be injured during the game. His injury must have dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Chinese team, far exceeding the impact of Sun Jihai's injury on the Chinese team. After all, Sun Jihai was not a core player at that time, but Chu Zhongtian was the absolute core of this team, if he was absent, there was no one to replace him, Deng Zhuoxiang was also an organizer, but his Chinese team was at most the third-rate in Asia, and the Chinese team with Chu Zhongtian could squeeze into the second-rate in Asia, if there were a few more players like Chu Zhongtian, it would not be a problem for the first-class in Asia.

All the tactics of the Chinese team revolve around Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian's absence is like a car without an engine and can't move at all.

Can Gao Hongbo not be worried?

However, his protests did not help, and the Qatari players still did what they should do. West Asian football has this tradition, and the first time Chinese football saw the dark side of football came from West Asian football. Later, Chinese football and West Asian football clashed again after many years of blackness, and the two sides blatantly played match-fixing and tacit understanding. Originally, everyone thought that Chinese football had been messy and dark for so many years, and it was already the world's first shameless, right? Who knew that this game made them see that compared with West Asian football, Chinese football can only be a little brother, and Chinese football will be willing to bow down in terms of shamelessness and thickness of cheek.

Chu Zhongtian was still on the field, enduring the opponent's various small actions.

Chu Zhongtian didn't care so much about his coach, he rarely complained about the opponent's small movements in the game, even if he was put to the ground by the opponent, he just got up from the ground. So it's often his teammates who complain about him. He just put his heart and soul into the game. He knows that the opponent's foul tactics have a function of making the violated player lose his cool, and if he focuses on entangled with the referee and fighting with the opposing player, he will lose. The best way to fight back is to talk with football, beat them on the pitch and make them understand that fouls don't work on their own.

In the face of the black feet and various small actions of the Qatari players, Chu Zhongtian could not fall to the ground without falling to the ground, and insisted on sending the football out. Even if he is entangled by the other party, he can use his excellent physical fitness to protect the football and then send the football to where it belongs.

The first half was a draw, and the game was not at all pretty, with frequent interruptions. Of course, it was definitely not because Chu Zhongtian was violated by the other party, but because of the foul of the Chinese team.

During the intermission, Gao Hongbo cared about Chu Zhongtian's body, and Chu Zhongtian told him that there was nothing wrong with him. At most, the other party's black hands and feet only left some bruises on his body, and did not hurt the bones.

Gao Hongbo was still not very relieved, and told Chu Zhongtian to be careful and careful in the second half. He was even ready to replace Chu Zhongtian as soon as he saw that the momentum was not right. Even if it loses to Qatar and allows Qatar to qualify with six points in advance, the Chinese team can still spell Uzbekistan in the last game. Uzbekistan and Kuwait drew in the last match of the same group, with both teams having a chance of qualifying in the final game. Gao Hongbo is not worried, as long as there is Chu Zhongtian, it should not be a problem to take Uzbekistan. Today's Chinese team is not the "Zhu Jiajun" in 2007.

In the second half, Qatar's action was more intense, and the players of the Chinese team were beaten by them, and the smell of gunpowder in the game became stronger.

Four Chinese players have received yellow cards. There is no Chu Zhongtian among them, he always remembers what his mission is, not to come here to fight the Qataris, but to defeat them.

In the sixty-third minute, Chu Zhongtian's forbearance finally paid off.

A sharp pass like a scalpel helped Deng Zhuoxiang find an opportunity in the penalty area and hit the bottom corner of the far end of the goal, giving the Chinese team a 1:0 lead!

The Chinese team's bench and coach's bench were thunderous, and the Chinese fans in the stands also jumped up one after another, chanting the slogan "Come on, Chinese team".

And the Caliphate Stadium, which had been full of boos before, was temporarily filled with shouts from the Chinese. Soon the frenzied home fans hit back, making every noise to drown out the Chinese cheers.

After the goal, Deng Zhuoxiang roared at the Qataris in the stands, and finally breathed a sigh. When he was just a fringe player of the national team, it was Chu Zhongtian who gave him a lot of help in training and life. He also regarded Chu Zhongtian as his idol and master.

Seeing his idol being bullied by the other party so much, he had already held his breath. Now it finally came out.

Gao Hongbo saw that the team was ahead, and he didn't care that there were so many minutes left in the game, so he quickly replaced Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian knew that this was protecting her, and this was good intentions, so he couldn't complain. Although he himself thinks that Qatar's small actions are like mosquito bites, there is nothing to be afraid of.

When he walked off the court, it was definitely not only Gao Hongbo who breathed a sigh of relief, but also the Chinese fans in front of the TV. They also know how important Chu Zhongtian's role in the national team is. Because of the victory in the first game, the ratings of this game are much higher, and everyone's confidence in the Chinese team has returned. They also know that the Middle Heaven is the source of all faith.

If Chu Zhongtian is injured, everyone knows that the Chinese team is finished. They don't want to watch Chu Zhongtian lead the Chinese team to the quarterfinals in a closed battle.

After Chu Zhongtian played, the performance of the Chinese team was obviously not as good as before, and one of the outstanding performances was that there was no direction when attacking. There was Chu Zhongtian before, everyone just handed over the football to him, and then it was enough for him to organize the attack, but now? To whom? It is only for Deng Zhuoxiang, but there is still a big gap between Deng Zhuoxiang's strength and Chu Zhongtian.

Later, Gao Hongbo simply signaled the whole team to retreat, just keep the one-goal advantage and get three points. He doesn't care if the game is ugly, the Chinese team has played a lot more than this ugly game, that is both a loss and a loss, and now although the scene is ugly, it is not ashamed.

In the end, they were hungry and still didn't hold on to this one-goal advantage.

In the final moments of the game, the Qatari player fell in the penalty area with a slightly exaggerated action, and the referee blew a penalty in time.

The decision drew a wave of disgruntled scolding from the Chinese fans in the stands, whose voices were quickly drowned out by the cheers of the large number of Qatari fans.

Chu Zhongtian also looked very angry when he saw this scene from the sidelines, and he rushed to the sidelines and yelled inside. Gao Hongbo was protesting, but when he saw Chu Zhongtian like this, he hurriedly found someone to drag him down. I was afraid that the referee would use this as a handle to directly punish Chu Zhongtian.

"It's not a penalty at all!" Duan Bin, the Chinese commentator, was also very excited, and he exclaimed: "Dewey definitely didn't touch him!" Fake fall! ”

What else can the narrator do but protest with his mouth?

In the end, Qatar relied on this controversial penalty to get a draw, the Chinese team and Qatar are currently with four points, the same number of goals, the same number of goals conceded, the same goal difference, and the relationship between victory and defeat is exactly the same, Qatar occupies the first place in the group with the advantage of the host, and the Chinese team follows in second place in the group.

In this way, there is a very interesting possibility that if Kuwait beats Qatar and Uzbekistan also beats China in the final round, everyone will have four points, which will be hilarious.

In the end, we will have to use a draw to determine the number of places in the group.

This is certainly not the situation that the Chinese team wants to be. The good news is that Chu Zhongtian is neither injured nor carded in this game, and he can play in the next match against Uzbekistan.

As long as Chu Zhongtian is available, Gao Hongbo is confident that he will qualify from the group and enter the quarterfinals. In this way, the task given by the General Administration of Sports will be completed, and he will have an explanation when he goes back, and he can at least lead the team to play the qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. That's the final test.

※※※ Of course, the story after the game is far more exciting than the game.

Chu Zhongtian mentioned the penalty in an interview after the game, he didn't directly explode foul language, that is not his style, but anger can not only be expressed by foul language.

"Now everybody knows that, that's why Asian football doesn't have a place in international football anymore." He shrugged. As a star second only to Park Ji-sung in the Asian Cup promotional video, Chu Zhongtian said this, which can be described as a slap in the face of the AFC. His anger can be imagined.

If it weren't for this referee, the Chinese team would have qualified ahead of schedule and would be one step closer to his goal.

His remarks were later rendered and disseminated by the media, causing an uproar. The most dissatisfied is of course the Qatari media, who have angrily accused Chu Zhongtian of having no demeanor at all, and it is not at all like the quality and standard that a world-class player should have.

The Chinese media naturally want to support their own families, and they have brought out various pictures and videos to prove that the penalty was indeed a misjudgment, Chu Zhongtian is not wrong at all, since he likes to show a ** and hang around, then don't blame others for saying that he is shameless.

According to the consistent principle, the Football Association will of course jump out at this time to play the role of being scolded. The Football Association is very annoyed by Chu Zhongtian's unorganized and undisciplined approach, but at present, he has the absolute core of the Chinese team and cannot move. Coupled with Gao Hongbo's strong support, it is quite difficult for the Football Association to deal with Chu Zhongtian now. But there is news that it is said that the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports are not dissatisfied with Chu Zhongtian for a day or two, and after this Asian Cup, it is estimated that a fine will be issued.

An official of the Football Association revealed to the media the dissatisfaction of the leaders of the General Administration and the leaders of the Football Association, "...... Regardless of the overall situation, the players should obey the penalty no matter what they say. That's too much! We have asked the team to gag him, and he will not be allowed to give any interviews in the future! ”

In the online media, this reprint has been very loud. For a while, the voices of scolding the Football Association's brain-dead idiots and the whole family were endless.

"Everyone always says that Chinese football is bloodless, and now everyone knows where the root of this bloodlessness comes from, right? The officials themselves don't have JB, and they also ask others to follow them to chop off the crotch, and it's really pitiful and ridiculous to be a slave to this role! Lin Hai, a non-famous competitive novel author at the starting point, commented in his Sina meager article.

Chu Zhongtian doesn't care about the "thunderous anger" from the General Administration and the Football Association, he has always dared not take risks against those who are officials, whether it is when Xie Yalong was in power or in the era when Nan Yong was in power, he always went his own way, and it was not a day or two to work against the Football Association.

He has this capital, he doesn't mix in domestic football, those intricate interests have nothing to do with him, he doesn't have to worry about anything, the Football Association can't control him, the big deal is to quit the national team. provoked, as soon as he won the Asian Cup, he announced his withdrawal from the national team and let them play by themselves.

It is precisely because he is not afraid of the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports at all that Chu Zhongtian is in a calm mood now, and he is waiting for the match with Uzbekistan, which is a revenge battle for the Chinese team. Three years ago, Uzbekistan kicked the Chinese team out of the quarterfinals, and the humiliating group did not show up before rolling up and going home.

Three years later, Chu Zhongtian wants Uzbekistan to taste the taste of returning home early.
