Vol 2 Chapter 42: Bundesliga's first Chinese derby

After the away victory over Karlsruhe, Schalke 04 had less pressure, and only Dortmund still kept the same pace behind him. Stuttgart was opened by a three-point gap. This week from the end of October to the beginning of November, Counting the back-to-back Champions League game against Liverpool, three games are played in seven days. Fortunately, the next league opponent Cottbus is not strong. Like Karlsruhe, it belongs to the relegation team in the second half. Schalke It can be put into battle lightly.
Schalke 04 against Cottbus, in the eyes of the German media, with the strength and status of the two teams, the victory and defeat have no value at all, but the first time in the history of the Bundesliga, the Chinese derby has attracted a lot of attention in this game The Chinese media have set their sights on this game early.
Zhou Tiancheng is a supernova that has only started to emerge this season, and the Chinese international Shao Jiayi of the Cottbus team has been in the Bundesliga for five years and joined Cottbus for more than two years. The duel between the two is promising. Is the only superstar in China, and is the only active international player in China. There is a lot of talk in the Chinese media.
[Note: Sun Jihai rarely played on behalf of the national team after 2007, so it is not included. 】
Relative to the media’s hype about the game, Sloemka’s focus is very uninteresting:
The only thing that arouses my interest right now is whether we can successfully get the victory we deserve. As for the topic you care about, well, you still ask Week it."
Sloemka obviously couldn't talk to the media on this topic. He felt that Cottbus had nothing to pay attention to. The reporters did not like his "uncooperative" people very much, so they all hoped that Zhou Tiancheng could come up with something new.
Seeing so many reporters staring at themselves, Zhou Tiancheng would like to spread his hand and say, "I really don't understand Shao Jiayi", but it certainly can't make a difference. Especially for many Chinese journalists in the middle, Zhou Tiancheng knows how good and professional they are. Uneven, but perseverance is terribly strong. If they don't get a satisfactory answer, they will definitely haunt you like brown sugar.
Zhou Tiancheng turned his eyeball twice and said, "I look forward to learning from Brother Jia. He has played in many international competitions and has more experience in the Bundesliga. Whether you believe it or not, once he was my idol, so now he is a little tension……"
As soon as these words came out, there was a small disturbance in the group of journalists. German reporters didn't understand China's modesty. It was a bit surprised to hear Zhou Tiancheng say this. They really didn't pay much attention to Cottbus in the past. Is his strength even stronger? These reporters wonder if they haven't been able to do their jobs, and it's time to make up the class.
The Chinese reporters can't help but smile. They are all elites. How can they not understand Zhou Tiancheng? This is deliberately lowering his posture to support his opponent. Now they want to know a little bit. How will Shao Jiayi respond?
Shao Jiayi heard Chinese reporters quote Zhou Tiancheng and said with a smile: "Don't you know that the real masters are all low-key? Haha, Zhou Tiancheng said that I am his idol? This is obviously humble, now he is obviously stronger than me, The young people are amazing now, learn from him."
Although Cottbus coach Blasnika can’t understand the Chinese communication between Shao Jiayi and Chinese reporters, he can tell from the expressions of these reporters what Shao Jiayi said about it. Ke 04 is very strong, and Zhou Tiancheng is even more, but it is not so easy to win the game at our home. As for the Chinese derby... I would like to say Shao is too modest, he has participated in tournaments such as the World Cup and the Asian Cup Of course, talent is important, but at some critical moments, more experienced players will decide to play!"
Although Blasnika looks stiff on the surface, it is only a superficial article. He asked Shao Jiayi more than once before the game and asked, "Shao, do you really not understand Zhou Tiancheng at all?"
Shao Jia Yi smiled and shook his head: "I have no friendship with him. If I know it, I will definitely not hide it, but I really don't know his origin. I don't know him as much as your coaching staff!"
Blasnika also understands Shao Jiayi's professionalism, and can only give up. Originally thinking that if he could learn more about Zhou Tiancheng, the hope of scoring at home would be greater, but now Blasnika must admit that it is more difficult to grab points Big.
...
Cottbus played a 4-5-1 anti-reverse formation at home. Shao Jiayi's position was a slightly forward offensive midfielder. Originally he played more left-backs in Cottbus, but today Bra Shinka wants to pursue the efficiency of counterattack. Shao Jiayi is one of the best players in the team's consciousness and footwork, so today he is placed in the middle.
Duan Xuan was excited when he saw the formation: "Lu Jiayi, a midfielder, is also competent. He plays the role of the front midfielder in the national team, and Schalke's midfield defense is also responsible for Zhou Tiancheng. The two will inevitably talk directly!"
Partner Tao Wei also said: "This is worth seeing, the two pre-match statements are very interesting, just give them a chance to learn from each other! Haha!"
When Schalke 04 led the attack, Cottbus, except for the arrow character Zimmerman, all the remaining nine players were recovered to their own half. Zhou Tiancheng enjoyed special treatment, and at least two The famous players went up and included him. Shao Jiayi didn't usually have too heavy defensive tasks, but today he is very active himself, and he actively took part in Zhou Tiancheng. He really wants to see how strong young people can be in the center of the Champions League midfield. .
Blasnika cautioned the players carefully before the game. Although Zhou Tiancheng is big, he can't think of easily breaking the ball from his feet, as long as he is not allowed to face his goal. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com
So Zhou Tiancheng received the ball in the midfield. Shao Jiayi caught him from behind for the first time. Although Zhou Tiancheng's physical quality will not easily lose his focus, he also lost the opportunity to immediately turn around and organize the attack.
"The coaching staff said that you are strong, but now you have your back to the goal, you can't help it?" Shao Jiayi said to Zhou Tiancheng in a low voice.
This is the first time the two have truly face-to-face, and Shao Jiayi certainly does not want to lose to a junior.
"Oh? That's OK, brother Jia, come here for two tips."
Weekly cost came to want to pass to Rakitic next to him, but now that Shao Jiayi said so, he didn't want to lose. Slightly turning his head, Yu Guang saw that there was no one behind Shao Jia. Zhou Tiancheng's toes directly picked the ball backwards. The ball went directly over the heads of the two people and flew behind Shao Jia. At the same time, Zhou Tiancheng turned directly, revealing his powerful physical quality. At first sight, Shao Jia couldn't help it, and the whole person was almost hanging on Zhou Tiancheng, but Zhou Tiancheng seemed to turn around without any pressure. The others looked like he was carrying Shao Jiayi on his back.
But Zhou Tiancheng had more amazing operations next. Cottbus saw that Shao Jiayi could turn around and be wiped, so he rushed towards the ball. The movement was not unpleasant, but when he stretched his legs, Zhou Tian grew his legs first. Towards, from the mid-circle arc near the outside of the instep, the right side of the penalty area was passed. The commentator was still wondering what the intention of this foot was. The idea just flashed. Asamoah appeared in the camera like a black whirlwind, comfortable. Yufu stopped Zhou Tiancheng's pick pass...
