Vol 2 Chapter 155: Prospects: Picking strong players

While most of the media focused on the transfer of the strong teams, the 16th round of the Bundesliga continued on the weekend. Schalke o4 at home against Hertha Berlin, Bayern Munich away challenge Bochum.
Hertha Berlin is currently ranked in the last Bundesliga. After the return of Zhou Tiancheng's suspension, Magath has no worries about the victory of the league vice squad. Originally, there was no suspense. Now Zhou Tiancheng is back, and he has added the most stable insurance.
After a fight, the score was fixed at 2:o, Schalke won easily, Jiang Hao scored again after two games, but it had nothing to do with Zhou Tiancheng, it was entirely he who worked out with enthusiasm, directly in the backcourt Stealing Berlin’s Hertha centre-back Yankel, he slammed the goalkeeper Debroni and broke the goal.
Another goal was also scored by Rakitic assisting Asamoa. Although Zhou Tiancheng has no direct data contribution, there is something in the football game that cannot be reflected by the data-his control of the rhythm in the midfield The distribution of ball rights is the real source of Schalke's motivation. As long as the ball is under his feet, there is nothing to worry about. Offensive players can press forward without worry.
"Such dominance will make the opponent completely unwilling to resist."
Marcel Leif's description is no exaggeration. In the last two seasons, the Bundesliga has formed a consensus: Zhou Tiancheng in the mid-circle arc is more desperate than Zhou Tiancheng near the penalty area.
Of course, Hertha Berlin will be reduced to deputy squad leader, which is still somewhat surprising. Before the season, many players reported that there was a discord between the club and the coach Favre. In addition, the high level was not able to recruit to save money. The prospect of the season, but a little unexpectedly, three coaches changed within three months, and there is still no improvement. Clubs that have spent money on Desler, Marcelinho, Aridei and other famous players, I am afraid they will have to work hard to upgrade next season.
The not-so-good news for Schalke o4 is that Bayern beat Hamburg 5:1 on another field. In this way, the two teams still maintain the same points, the same product forty points, but Bayern have six more goal difference. The Bundesliga's rule is that if the points are the same as the goal difference, and there is one round left, unless Schalke wins and Bayern loses as many times as possible, Schalke may bounce back.
The next round of Bayern will face Hertha Berlin at home. With this game as a reference, this situation is basically impossible.
Munich media reported that Bayern's victory at the same time, has begun to promote the possibility of Bayern regaining the league championship-according to historical rules, as long as Bayern won the league half-time championship, the championship for the entire season is basically stable.
As for Schalke o4, they admit that this is a rival for the next few seasons, even more difficult than Dortmund, but want to continue to occupy the top spot, the Munich media still do not believe that Schalke has such a capability. They can only win a championship in the season when Bayern has problems. After all, with the depth of Bayern's squad, the entire Bundesliga has no match for it.
Without winning the established half-time list, Schalke's atmosphere seemed to be not particularly dignified. After all, there was no point gap. After the second half, it was enough to play a few games. It was not enough to ask God for blessing.
Both Magath and Zhou Tiancheng gave similar statements when facing the media: "What if Bayern won the half-time champion? At the end of the season, the real winner is seen. The Bundesliga half-time champion has 7%. Ten may win the championship, isn't there another 30%, Bayern won the half-time championship is equal to the season championship? Maybe this season will not be so effective."
Regarding Schalke's confidence in the o4, the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" skillfully expressed its disdain by looking forward to the Champions League knockout: "There is no doubt that Bayern is still the representative of the Bundesliga in the Champions League. Bayern, who has returned to normal status, has the strength to impact the championship! In the face of the superstar lineup of Barcelona and Real Madrid, only Bayern dare to say that there is a chance of winning the entire Bundesliga."
Although the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" has a mysterious confidence in Bayern, most of the more rational German media are still looking forward to Schalke's ability to represent the emerging power of the Bundesliga in the Champions League and make a big difference in the Champions League. Horizontally comparing the performance of the group stage, Schalke o4 in the d group gathered by the strong hands, is even stronger than Bayern.
Between the sixteenth round and the seventeenth round of the league, there is a final match with Atletico in the UEFA Champions League group stage. This game has no practical significance for Schalke, but Magat still tries his best to face it. Atletico.
Magath still asked to play according to the normal rhythm of the game. In the locker room, he and the players said: "In the league, in a game like this, I will let you all rest, but today I have not. Because you Understand that this is the Champions League. Every opponent is worth fighting against. I don’t want you to slack down because the situation is harmless. In the Champions League, this is the most dangerous mistake."
Magath is now focusing on the knockout game, instilling this concept with the players, many players' faces have changed a bit, always feel that the head coach is talking about himself...
Zhou Tiancheng was in deep contemplation, he thought of the semi-finals with Manchester United last season. In the round, the home team led by two goals, but the away game was reversed.
On the other side, Atletico came to the Schalke Stadium with a hint of qualifying. They are now only one point away from the group qualifying. Even if Chelsea is unlikely to win the Greeks, there is very little. Possible. Atletico Madrid must play their best in this game, anyway, their team's third position must be stable. Even if you can't get the qualifying right in the end, you have to increase confidence for the next UEFA Cup.
Both sides have long-term plans for the next. The progress of the game and the predictions of the media are very different. In just four minutes of the opening, Raul Garcia shoveled fiercely from behind in the defense. Zhou Tiancheng rolled two laps on the lawn because of inertia. It seemed that this was a serious foul, which caused deafening boos from the fans on the scene. Magath all ran to the side for the first time and stared at the referee. The meaning is obvious: this should definitely be given!
In fact, he doesn’t need to ask like this, the current referee will not let Garcia pass, even if he puts an innocent expression in front of the referee and keeps complaining to the referee: "Actually I just touched him a little bit, he fell It’s too exaggerated."
The acting is indeed first-rate, but the head referee sees clearly. He was able to get the ball from a long distance and slipped Zhou Tiancheng from behind when it was completely impossible to get the ball. Naturally, he would not be confused.
"Yellow card! There is no problem at all. Raul Garcia seems to be very emotional and does not understand what is controversial. If this foul is replaced by some referees in La Liga, it may be a red card directly." CCTV commentator He Wei said. As a perennial commentator in La Liga, he knows it very well. Although the scene of the most popular confrontation is a few English, to talk about temper, it may not be as good as a few grumpy referees in La Liga.
But the boos at home have not been reduced because of this yellow card, they think the penalty is too light. Zhou Tiancheng is a person who doesn't play tricks on the ball, he has rolled on the ground twice, maybe what harm it caused.
It's so cheap for him!
But this is one of the established strategies of Atletico Madrid today. Raul Garcia mainly uses experience to conduct destructive defense in the midfield. This defensive strategy does not seek to help the attack much, as long as it can block the opponent’s attack. Is success. Of course, Florence is also betting on today's referee's punishment scale. If the punishment is not particularly strict, Atletico may have a chance to fight back directly from the midfield after being tackled from the midfield.
But the yellow card was eaten in the first four minutes, which is the biggest disadvantage to Atletico. At least Garcia will throw a taboo when doing the action, but in the face of Zhou Tiancheng, if the action is not big, and the defensive effect cannot be achieved, no wonder he will So excited.
On the coach's seat, Atletico Flores saw his yellow card held high and his face suddenly became ugly. He glanced at the bench and was struggling ideologically. He was preparing for a substitution, but It was only four minutes after the opening, and if the main back was replaced, it would inevitably appear too impatient.
He shouted at another midfielder Ignacio Camacho, his hands together, the meaning is very simple, tighten the space, can not allow Zhou Tiancheng to take the ball calmly.
At this time, he can only choose the person who mainly focuses on the greatest threat. As for Rakitic, he can only give him a certain amount of space, hoping that the two central defenders will be able to give a little defensive power.
Seeing that there is enough space around Rakitic, Zhou Tiancheng is naturally not greedy and passes the ball directly to him, and then he runs without the ball.
This method has been unsuccessful in the past two seasons, mainly because Zhou Tiancheng’s goal is too large. Even if the opponent knows that Rakitic next to him is also dangerous, but Zhou Tiancheng has inserted into his own penalty area, it is naturally impossible for the defensive player to be did not see it.
Zhou Tiancheng deliberately made a small circle from the other end of Rakitic's direction of advance to attract Atletico's attention to him. Rakitic wanted to find a chance and it was relatively easy.
After half an hour of intensive tackling, Jiang Hao finally got rid of the entanglement of Colombian central defender Perea and got a pass from Pablo Ibanez, who turned slowly, to Rakitic's direct pass to the penalty area. Chance, the two are just like the difference between Ferrari and Santana. Ibanez hasn’t turned around yet. Jiang Haolian’s dribble has been out of his control. The next step is to face goalkeeper Asenjo For Jiang Hao, this is a half-star difficulty shot. Directly and calmly pushed, pierced through the Ascenjo crotch and rolled into the net nest.
Jiang Hao's personal UEFA Champions League goal also inspired the team. In the halftime injury stoppage period, Asamoane cuts the long shot and locks the halftime score at 2:o.
This score made the atmosphere in the locker room in the midfield very relaxed, and everyone started talking about opponents in the knockout.
"Well, I think the second team is quite good now, so that we can meet Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid..."
Jiang Hao just said something casually, and was immediately "attacked by the group." His teammates looked at him, and immediately looked at Zhou Tiancheng. Westman whispered to remind: "Jiang, are you poisoned by Zhou? , Like to challenge high difficulty? But you don’t have the role of Zhou, it’s better not to say that.

Seeing teammates staring at their unsightly faces, Jiang Hao quickly explained: "Hey, no...you misunderstood my meaning. I mean to play against these strong teams, we can go to Camp Nou and Bernabeu. , Old Trafford has played. Don’t you want to?
"I don't want to, Old Trafford, I've been there, but you didn't." Rakitic replied smoothly.
"Uh..." Jiang Hao immediately said that he had one season less experience than others, and indeed a lot less common language.
Zhou Tiancheng smiled next to him and relieved Jiang Hao's embarrassment: "It's okay, Haozi, this season will definitely satisfy you. You just said that Bernabeu, Camp Nou, Old Trafford, these places, we all have to go! "
A group of teammates looked at the two and bowed their faces.
In the Atletico locker room, Flores did not say much, but only encouraged everyone not to give up and continue to strengthen the offense.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the general trend was gone. Regardless of whether this game can be pulled back, the other side kicked off the game at the same time, Chelsea has the advantage of holding two goals, that is to say, the Atletico team is out of the game.
In the second half, Atletico really set off a wave of counterattacks, and Atletico players realized that there was no chance of not working hard again.
But the consequence of this is that the back field space will be enlarged, and Jiang Hao's degree can be fully released.
In the 60th minute, Jiang Hao successfully scored another goal against offside~EbookFREE.me~The score was locked at 3:o.
In the mixed interview area after the game, Zhou Tiancheng and Jiang Hao were both stopped by reporters. Jiang Hao's questions were related to his score twice, and Zhou Tiancheng's questions were related to the next knockout. related.
"Zhou Tiancheng, you said that the team has a bigger goal this season, and now it's qualifying, can you tell me... don't worry, even if it's a champion, no one will say anything."
Zhou Tiancheng smiled and replied: "You may have misunderstood. I'm not afraid of others questioning. Isn't it more interesting to just leave some suspense?"
A group of reporters are speechless, not the champion. What are they selling? Let's call it high-profile and we're so hyped up.
But now I can only change the topic: "Let's talk about the elimination rounds of the top 16 and draw in a few days. Who do you want to touch the most?"
Zhou Tiancheng thought for a while, Schalke is already the first in the group, then he can only play second in the group.
"Who is the strongest group second?"
The reporters were stunned by Zhou Tiancheng's rhetorical question. Many people took out their mobile phones and started to check the real-time scoreboard online, and some people searched with their own memory.
"Seville, won the UEFA Cup twice."
But someone immediately retorted: "In the latest standings, Inter Milan is the second in Group f and should be the strongest."
Zhou Tiancheng froze for a moment: "Inter Milan ranks second?"
"Yes, the first is Barcelona." The reporter replied, but secretly vomited, he would not want to touch Inter now? In this season's state of Inter Milan, it was a bit of a fortune.
As a result, Zhou Tiancheng's answer refreshed what they thought was "impossible": "Okay, it's them."
