Vol 2 Chapter 59: Schalke's "God Operation"

After winning the opening game, the Chinese team ushered in the first home of the qualifying round of the Asian Cup qualifiers three days later, sitting in the Hangzhou Huanglong Sports Center against the world ranked 135th Vietnam team.
Back at home, the Chinese team finally found the feeling against the weak. In the opening three minutes, he took the lead. The whole game was more blooming. Four players scored goals and finally won the Vietnam team 6:1. Zhou Tiancheng staged the first hat trick of the national team.
Near the end of the game, gorgeous fireworks rose in the sky at the Hangzhou Huanglong Sports Center. CCTV explained He Weiqing's whereabouts, and began to show his unique style of "poet commentary", saying: "A big victory should be expected. In the middle, this firework may only herald the blessing of the new year and the blessing of welcoming the new year. But at the moment, it appears above the stadium. We might as well think of this as a blessing and expectation for the future of the national team. It’s not difficult for these two games. I feel that the national team is also changing bit by bit. The last game can reverse the conquest of West Asia. Zhou Tiancheng's joining is a little bit making the Chinese team's temperament stronger. Perhaps in the near future, there will be a day when the Chinese team's performance It is worth the fans to light up the fireworks ten times and one hundred times more brilliant."
After ending the game, Zhou Tiancheng immediately bid farewell to the national team and returned to Gelsenkirchen. Although the taste in China has grown stronger, the team will soon begin to concentrate on winter training to prepare for the second half of the league.
This is the inconvenience of playing football in Europe. Every Chinese traditional festival is basically busy. Zhou Tiancheng can say that his father is not far away anyway. However, Chu Yunling also said that she did not want to return to her country, just taking advantage of this time to take her parents to play.
Zhou Tiancheng was a little surprised: "The New Year is a reunion day, can uncle and aunt come over here?"
"I told them that the school had to arrange a project this year. If they couldn't go back, they would definitely have to come. Hey, anyway, I didn't want to go back. I was so annoyed to deal with those seven aunts and eight aunts every year...how, you want to let Am I leaving?"
Zhou Tiancheng shook his head like a rattle. He knew Chu Yunling's brain too well, and he didn't know any big tricks waiting for him, so he firmly denied it.
The Lunar New Year's Eve in China was small for one night, and then Zhou Tiancheng was busy again. When most Chinese people are on holiday, he has to adjust his status to meet the winter training and the second half of the league.
At the same time, the European winter window transfer period is still underway. Under the five major leagues, such as the New Year’s Eve system, the winter window is generally difficult to make a big deal. Relatively speaking, the support of the Arab consortium Manchester City has become the most active in the entire winter window throughout Europe Clubs: 18 million euros for the introduction of De Jong from Hamburg, 9 million euros for the introduction of Irish Manjivan from Newcastle, 15.5 million euros for the introduction of Liverpool veteran Bellamy from West Ham United, while also renting players such as Ruo, Ben Haim and others. Manchester City began to show its wealth.
Seeing such a big move in Manchester City, Chinese fans were delighted for Sun Jihai: after more than six years, they finally had to wait for a group of powerful teammates. If two years ago, at the peak of his state, the club could smash money with this intensity, maybe Sun Jihai already had one or two gold medals in the Premier League championship.
At the Bundesliga level, the theme of Dong Chuang is to leave the team. All the German media originally stared at the top four teams in the standings, especially Schalke 04 at the top of the list. It is estimated that this year may be a different way of living, and once again be bold. After all, this year is a better chance to win than two seasons ago.
As a result, the successive officials of Schalke 04 did the opposite, not only did not have any generous reinforcement, but constantly sent players!
First, it was announced that the three young players Ze Roberto Oliveira, Borier and Marcus had no positions on the team. All of them thought that Schalke's streamlining of the first team lineup was a prelude to the introduction of big-name stars. As a result, everyone was looking forward to it, and did not wait for any signing of the official recruitment. Instead, they announced that Gustavo Barrera and Lowenkland, who had performed well in the first half, would not renew the contract!
As soon as the news came out, more than half of the German media was in an uproar. Didn't even the player like Lowenkland keep four goals and two assists in the half? Schalke intends to take a break in the first half and stop playing in the second half?
The choice of the club is completely unintelligible. If the contract expires, the person will be released without renewal of the contract. If the club does not get a penny, it means that there is no benefit at all.
Even the Schalke media couldn't understand the club's approach. A 50-year-old local newspaper, The Mining District, commented in a tone of hatred for iron: "Schalke has never seen such a choice in this transfer window!"
Because of Zhou Tiancheng’s existence, the domestic media that paid special attention to Zhou Tiancheng’s every move was even more surprised.
Football News
had a comment during the winter window transfer summary: So far, there are two most surprising clubs during the winter transfer period. Home: First, Manchester City's signing strength is far ahead of all the traditional top giants, and the second is the operation of Schalke 04.
The so-called "God operation" is applicable to two extreme situations: the first is to turn the tide in desperation and turn decay into magic, and the second... is to hold the game well, but to the death of the main action!
Obviously, in the eyes of the media, Schalke's performance belongs to the latter.
Even after Schalke announced the introduction of Liverpool U19 striker Pryor, it was finally introduced, but not only the media did not buy it. As far as the club itself is concerned, in fact this winter window signing failed.
In fact, the club's top executives are now squandering their heads. In fact, the actions behind them are not as calm as they seem on the surface, but Schalke is really poor in recruiting, and none of the fancy people have dug.
Hamburg midfielder De Jong was originally on Schalke's signing list, but was cut off by Manchester City with a high transfer fee of 18 million euros. This price has exceeded Schalke's expectations, which was actively given up.
Immediately following the collapse of Lowenkland’s contract renewal negotiations, the club’s director Helt set his sights on Hoffenheim striker Ibisevich and Wolfsburg striker Sanogo. . Ibisevich was set up on the ground by Hoffenheim, with a price tag of 15 million euros, clearly not wanting to let this relegated mainstay be pryed away. When he turned to Sanogo, Helt took a closed-door soup directly at the other party's high level. Wolfsburg General Manager Alofs directly replied to Helt: "We will never sell players to championship opponents~EbookFREE.me~ There is nothing to talk about!
"Milko, we didn't win this winter transfer period. We have players who have some strength. All of them are very close. If you maintain the current lineup, how confident are you to keep the top position?" Helt called Slomka Talked to my office and asked such a question.
"Ninety percent!" Slomka smiled slightly.
"It's so high? Are you sure? Mirko, this is not a joke. It decides whether we want to strengthen the line of fire."
Sloemka got up from the seat, holding the table with both hands, full of confidence: "Horst, I am serious. Although one or two guns are missing on the front line, our real nuclear weapons are still there! "
Helt listened, then froze for a moment, then smiled: "He is excellent, I know."
"No, Horst, the word excellent is not enough to describe him. He is a phenomenal player, including me, he has conquered everyone. I am ready to make him a true team leader next season."
