What does there be a saying?

A sheep leads a group of lions but cannot beat a lion leads a group of sheep.

For the outside world, the Chinese team is actually a group of sheep that can be slaughtered. This has been the case for the past ten years. The only difference is that it was a goat at the beginning, but when it encountered danger, it could lower its head and fight with the horns on its head. Later, it transformed into a docile sheep. When it encountered danger, it would only shrink into a ball or run around in scattered areas.

But this time the situation was different. Chu Zhongtian was undoubtedly not a sheep, but a lion. His joining was like a lion leading the flock, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the flock.

The train runs fast, all depends on the locomotive. With a locomotive like Chu Zhongtian, the Chinese team's broken train can run at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, right?

Don’t underestimate the speed of 120 kilometers per hour. Thank God for the former Chinese national football team to run 60 kilometers.

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

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

Logically speaking, according to experience, the Chinese team's strength is very average, and they have the "fine tradition" of losing their chains as soon as they arrive at the competition, so this game should be easily won for Kuwait.

Let’s see how bad the Chinese team performed at the Guangzhou Asian Games... Who would have thought that the team in front of them that is constantly rushing to their defense is also called China?

The Kuwaits obviously made the same mistake as many Chinese people, confusing the National Olympic Team with the national team... When the 23rd minute, Chu Zhongtian blasted the Kuwait team's goal with a long shot, the game completely got on another track.

All the Kuwaits had planned before were useless, they were completely in the rhythm controlled by Chu Zhongtian and could not extricate themselves.

The lead also boosted the morale and confidence of the Chinese teammates, and performed better and better in the subsequent games.

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

In this game, Chu Zhongtian fully demonstrated his talent in both offense and defense. Whether it is during offense or defense, his opponents can't do anything to him. He has a variety of methods when attacking. If you guard against his shots, he will give you a long shot; if you guard against his shots, he will tear your defense line with exquisite passes; if you guard against him passing or shooting, he can also drive the ball through. Although his dribbling skills are not top-notch in the world, in Asia, they are enough to stand out.

In defense, he can always appear in the most critical position in time and then make the most critical moves. The Chinese team's defense is not a solid piece of cake, but whenever there is a loophole, the first person to rush back to make up for it must be Chu Zhongtian.

During the game, commentator He Ping sighed more than once that Chu Zhongtian was so awesome that after the game, a rioter posted a post online, counting how many times He Ping said in this game, "Chu Zhongtian is so awesome."

However, Chu Zhongtian's performance in this game was indeed very outstanding. After the game, the media selected the best in the game was awarded to him. He was the most dazzling star in this game, even if he didn't score that goal.

He sent football to his teammates many times in this game. If his teammates were not able to seize opportunities, the game was definitely not 1:0. Just in terms of scores, it is easy for people to think that the Chinese team won a thrilling victory, or it depends on luck. But in fact, anyone who watched the game would think that victory was fair to the Chinese team. The reason was very simple, because the Chinese team had Chu Zhongtian, while the Kuwait team did not.

After this game, other teams in the Asian Cup further understood how much Chu Zhongtian's core role was for the Chinese team, so the work of the Chinese team's opponents became simple, just to try every means to curb Chu Zhongtian.

As long as he can perform abnormally, it doesn't matter even if he is a foul. It would be even better if he can get hurt directly.

Of course, Rangnick would also pay attention to his most proud disciple. He also knew what kind of treatment Chu Zhongtian would be treated after his outstanding performance in the first game, which made him worried.

Chu Zhongtian himself seemed indifferent and trained as usual.

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

With this victory, domestic public opinion criticized the national football team much less. Although there were still voices saying that this was a victory belonging to Chu Zhongtian, not a victory of the Chinese team, Chu Zhongtian was originally a member of the Chinese team, so why should he distinguish it so clearly? Last year, many teams' emergency relied on the flash of inspiration from a certain star, but no one said that it was just a victory of a certain person, not the victory of the entire team.

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

After the game, Chu Zhongtian's photos during the game and interviews he received after the game were all on the homepage of the AFC's official website, and local media in Qatar also posted his large photos.

The AFC's comment was "The Chinese Star shines on Asia", which is a very high evaluation. However, this is not the first time he has been on the homepage of the AFC official website. In the just-concluded 2010, although Chu Zhongtian did not participate in the World Cup, he still beat South Korean star Park Ji-sung with his outstanding performance in the club and was elected Asian Footballer of the Year. This is his second consecutive honor, and at that time he also went to the homepage of the AFC official website.

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

It is obvious during the game that the referee is on the host side. As long as there is physical contact, the Qatari players will immediately call the Chinese team foul. The Qatari team fouled against the Chinese team players, but the referee did not say anything. He was unable to speak up and gave a verbal warning.

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

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

Of course he had to be anxious. His core player made the opponent so hard. What if he was injured and could not play in the future game?

This has happened to the Chinese team. As a representative of Chinese players studying abroad at the time, Sun Jihai was highly expected, but in the first World Cup group match against Costa Rica was only more than 20 minutes after being tackled by the opponent.

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

Similarly, Gao Hongbo was also worried that Chu Zhongtian was injured in the game. His injury would definitely have 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 the time, but Chu Zhongtian was the absolute core of this team. If he was absent, no one could replace him. Deng Zhuoxiang was also an organizer, but his Chinese team was at most a third-rate in Asia. With Chu Zhongtian, the Chinese team could squeeze into the second-rate in Asia. If there were more players like Chu Zhongtian, it would be no problem for Asia to be first-rate.

All the Chinese team's tactics revolve around Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian is not there, just like a car without an engine and cannot move at all.

Can Gao Hongbo not worry?

However, his protests have no effect, and Qatari players still do whatever they should do. West Asian football has this tradition. When Chinese football first saw the dark side of football, it came from West Asian football. Later, after many years of darkness, Chinese football confronted West Asian football again, and both sides blatantly played counterfeit and tacit understanding. Originally, everyone thought that Chinese football had been in chaos for so many years and was already the world's number one shameless person? Who knew that this game made them realize that compared with West Asian football, Chinese football could only be a younger brother. In terms of shamelessness and the thickness of his face, Chinese football would be willing to give up the disadvantage.

Chu Zhongtian was still taking on the field with various small moves from the opponent.

Chu Zhongtian doesn't want his coach to care so much. He rarely complains about the opponent's small movements during the game. Even if he is knocked down by the opponent, he will get up from the ground. So often his teammates are speaking for him. He only devotes his whole body and mind to the game. He knows that one of the functions of the opponent's foul tactics is to make the injured players lose their calmness. If he focuses on entangling the referee and fighting with the opponent's players, he will lose. The best way to fight back is to speak with football and defeat them on the court, so that they can understand a truth - fouls are not useful in themselves.

Faced with the black feet and various small movements of Qatari players, Chu Zhongtian would not fall to the ground without falling to the ground and insisted on sending the football out. Even if he was entangled by the other party, he could protect the football with his outstanding physical fitness and then send the football where it should go.

The two sides tied in the first half, and the game was not good at all and was interrupted frequently. Of course, it was definitely not because Chu Zhongtian was violated by the opponent, but because of the Chinese team's foul.

During the intermission, Gao Hongbo cared about Chu Zhongtian's body. Chu Zhongtian told him that he had no problem. The other party's black hands and feet only left some bruises on his body at most, and did not hurt his bones.

Gao Hongbo was still not relieved and told Chu Zhongtian to be careful and be careful in the second half. He even planned to replace Chu Zhongtian when he saw that the momentum was wrong. He would rather lose to the host in this game than take risks. Even if he lost to Qatar and allowed Qatar to qualify for six points in advance, the Chinese team could still defeat Uzbikistan in the last game. In the last game of the same group that ended before, Uzbekistan and Kuwait tied, and both teams had the chance to qualify in the last game. Gao Hongbo was not worried. As long as Chu Zhongtian was available, it should not be a problem to win Uzbekistan. The Chinese team is not the "Zhu Family Army" in 2007.

In the second half, Qatar's movements became more intense, and the Chinese players were exasperated by them, and the gunpowder smelled stronger in the game.

Four Chinese players received yellow cards one after another. There was no Chu Zhongtian among them. He always remembered what his mission was, not to come here to fight against the Qatars, but to defeat them.

In the 63rd minute, Chu Zhongtian's forbearance finally received rewards.

His sharp pass like a scalpel helped Deng Zhuoxiang find an opportunity in the penalty area, and scored as a result of the far corner of the goal, and the Chinese team led 1:0!

The Chinese team's bench and coach seat were cheering, and the Chinese fans in the stands also jumped up and shouted the slogan "Come on, China."

The Caliph Stadium, which was full of booing before, was temporarily filled with Chinese shouts. Soon the crazy home team fans fired back, and they made all the noises to cover up the Chinese cheers.

After scoring the goal, Deng Zhuoxiang roared at the Qataris in the stands and finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he was just a player on the edge 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, he had already been full of anger. Now he finally vented.

Gao Hongbo saw that the team was leading, and regardless of how many minutes there were left in the game, he quickly replaced Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian knew that this was protecting her, and that was kindness, so he could not complain. Although he himself felt that Qatar's small movements were like mosquito bites, they were not afraid at all.

When he walked off the stadium, he breathed a sigh of relief not only Gao Hongbo, but also the Chinese fans in front of the TV. They also knew how important Chu Zhongtian's role in the national team was. Because of the victory of the first game, the ratings of this game were much higher, and everyone's confidence in the Chinese team was back. They also knew that Chu Zhongtian was the source of all confidence.

If Chu Zhongtian is injured, everyone will know that the Chinese team is over. They don’t want to see Chu Zhongtian playing the blockbuster and leading the Chinese team to the quarterfinals.

After Chu Zhongtian was out of the field, the Chinese team's performance was obviously not as good as before. One outstanding performance was that there was no direction when attacking. Before, Chu Zhongtian was there, and everyone just handed the football to him and then organized the attack. Now, what about? Who is it for? Only Deng Zhuoxiang, but Deng Zhuoxiang's strength is still very different from Chu Zhongtian.

Later, Gao Hongbo simply signaled the whole team to retreat, and just defended the advantage of one goal and scored three points. He didn't care about the ugly game scene. The Chinese team played many more games than this ugly one, which was both losing and losing. Although the scene is ugly now, it is not embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, they were hungry in the end and still failed to defend the advantage of this goal.

At the last moment of the game, the Qatar player fell in the penalty area, his movements were a bit exaggerated, and the referee promptly called a penalty kick.

The penalty caused dissatisfaction among Chinese fans in the stands, and their voices were soon drowned out by the cheers of the large number of Qatari fans.

Chu Zhongtian also seemed very angry when he saw this scene off the court. He rushed to the sidelines and shouted at the inside. Gao Hongbo was protesting, but when he saw Chu Zhongtian's appearance, he quickly found someone to drag him down. He was afraid that the referee would use this as a handle to send Chu Zhongtian off directly.

"This is not a penalty kick at all!" Chinese commentator Duan Bin was also very excited. He shouted: "Dewey never touched him! Fake a fall!"

What else can the commentator do besides protesting on his lips?

In the end, Qatar won a draw with this controversial penalty kick. The Chinese team and Qatar currently have four points, with the same number of goals, the same number of goals conceded, the same goal difference, and the winning and losing relationship is exactly the same. Qatar has taken the first place in the group with the host's advantage, and the Chinese team is next to the second in the group.

In this way, there will be a very interesting possibility. If Kuwait defeats Qatar in the last round and Uzbekistan defeats China, everyone will get four points together, which will be lively.

Maybe in the end, you have to use lottery draws to decide the quota for the group qualifying.

Of course this will not be the situation that the Chinese team hopes to happen. The good news is that Chu Zhongtian was neither injured nor had a card in this game, so he could participate in the next game against Uzbekistan.

As long as Chu Zhongtian is available, Gao Hongbo will be confident of qualifying in the group and reaching the quarterfinals. In this way, even if the tasks given by the General Administration of Sports are completed, he will give an explanation when he returns. At least he can lead the team to the qualifiers for the 2014 Brazil World Cup. That is the final big test.

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

Chu Zhongtian mentioned the penalty kick in an interview after the game. He did not swear directly. That was not his style, but anger could not be expressed only by swearing.

"Now everyone knows that this is why Asian football has no status in international football." He shrugged. As the star who appeared second only to Park Ji-sung in the Asian Cup promotional video, Chu Zhongtian said so, which can be said to be a slap in the face of the AFC in person. His anger can be imagined.

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

His words later caused an uproar after being exaggerated and circulated by the media. Of course, the Qatari media was the one who was most dissatisfied with. They all angrily accused Chu Zhongtian of not having any demeanor, and they did not look like the quality and level that a world-class player should have.

The Chinese media naturally have to support their own people. They have brought out various pictures and videos to prove that the penalty kick was indeed a misjudgment. Chu Zhongtian said nothing. Since he likes to show off his penis and sway around, don't blame others for saying that he is shameless.

According to consistent principles, the Football Association of course has to jump out and play the role of being scolded at this time. The Football Association is very annoyed by Chu Zhongtian's unorganized and undisciplined approach, but he is currently in trouble with the absolute core of the Chinese team and cannot move. In addition, Gao Hongbo's support, it is difficult for the Football Association to deal with Chu Zhongtian now. However, there is news that it is said that it will be a matter of one or two days since the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports are dissatisfied with Chu Zhongtian. After this Asian Cup, a ticket will probably be issued.

An official from the Football Association revealed to the media the dissatisfaction of the leaders of the General Administration and the Football Association, "... he does not care about the overall situation at all. No matter what he says, players should obey the penalty. This approach is too much! We have asked the team to ban him and he will not be allowed to accept any interviews in the future!"

On the online media, this sentence was reprinted so much. For a while, the sound of scolding the whole family of the treacherous idiot in the Football Association was endless.

"Everyone always says that Chinese football has no blood. Now everyone knows where the root cause of this blood has no blood? The officials themselves don't have JB, but they also ask others to follow them to chop up the words under their crotch and be slaves. It's so pitiful and ridiculous!" Lin Haitingtao, a non-famous competitive novelist on Qidian Chinese, commented in his Sina meager.

Chu Zhongtian didn't care about the "thunderous wrath" from the General Administration and the Football Association. He has always dared not take risks to those officials. Whether it was when Xie Yalong was in power or when Nan Yong was in power, he always did his own thing and had not been against the Football Association for a day or two.

He has this capital, he is not involved in domestic football, and those complicated interests have nothing to do with him, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. The Football Association can't control him. At worst, it's just withdrawing from the national team. If he gets the Asian Cup, he announces his withdrawal from the national team and lets them play by themselves.

Because he was not afraid of the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports, Chu Zhongtian was in a calm mood now. He was waiting for the game against Uzbekistan. For the Chinese team, it was a battle of revenge. Three years ago, Uzbekistan kicked the Chinese team out of the quarterfinals, and the shameful group did not appear and went home.

Three years later, Chu Zhongtian wanted to let Uzbekistan taste the taste of going home early.
Chapter completed!
