Vol 2 Chapter 6: Can it be a starter?

　　In early August, the eyes of the world began to focus on Beijing, and China will complete the ultimate dream of the 100-year Olympics in this year.
　　 And in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, 8,000 kilometers away, Zhou Tiancheng is preparing to follow the team to Nice, a city in southeastern France, for pre-season training. He can only learn about the Olympics in his hometown through the news.
　　The five major league clubs usually select pre-season training camps in coastal cities. The beach and the sea help players adjust their mind and body.
　　 At the same time, another Bundesliga team Leverkusen is here to practice, the two teams out of the common preparation needs, warm-up match needs are almost a hit.
　　 Slomka's strategy for the first and second half of the game was different. In the first half, the main lineup of players from the previous season was inspected. In the second half, the new players' actual combat ability was tested. Therefore, Zhou Tiancheng must wait until the second half to have a chance.
　　 Schalke is no way. Not only they, but Leverkusen, too. Almost all Bundesliga teams are affected by the European Cup, and training time is generally severely squeezed. In addition, the start of the new season Bundesliga is also in mid-August. It is almost the same as before. It has not delayed the start of the game, and the German Cup will start a few days after the first round, although the Bundesliga teams generally face low-level league teams and send substitutes It is not a big problem to win, but no matter how easy it is, it is also a game task. The German team reached the European Cup finals, which is a good thing for fans, but it really makes these coaches a headache.

In the first half of this warm-up match, the main Schalke 04 had a slight advantage in the scene. Although they did not even retain the runner-up last season, they still ranked in the top three, and their strength is of course better than the seventh ranked Leverku. Mori is much stronger.
　　 In the first half, Schalke 04 led with a 1:0 lead by Peruvian striker Farfan.
　　 However, Sloemka does not value the score. He also knows the overall level of the main lineup. What he wants to know most is what level of new aid this team can play in the second half.
Although the team's performance in the first two seasons has been stable in the top three, and last season also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but Sloemka knows that the strength of the team's original lineup is already at the top. If you want to In the next season, the league and the Champions League will go further, and we must expect surprises in the fresh blood of these newly added teams.
　　Zhou Tiancheng received instructions in the first half of the second half and came off the bench with Rakitic, Fairman and others. Zhou Tiancheng put on his new No. 12 jersey in the first team, there is a different feeling.
Although 　　 is not an official game, but from this moment, his career officially has a first team appearance record.
　　Sloam Carter walked to him, just briefly explained the points that need attention in the game, and then said to him: "You need to prove that Norbert did not brag in front of me."
　　 Zhou Tiancheng smiled shallowly, if there is no systematic real-time video simulation, he may face the strange first-team opponent, there may be fluctuations in his mentality. Although he can't say it well, he still has the energy.
　　 After playing, Zhou Tiancheng first stood in the middle circle and gave a high-five to several teammates nearby, and smiled toward the backcourt with an OK gesture, confident.
　　 Seeing Zhou Tiancheng's move, just replacing Neuer, and also the first time the first team played, Fairman felt a little settled in his heart, and He Wedes, who had not played with Zhou Tiancheng for a long time, woke up with a smile.
　　 is still familiar with Zhou Tiancheng. Moreover, he faintly felt that Zhou Tiancheng now has more aura.
　　……
Many things in the first team and U19 are in the same line, and even the conventional formation is 4-3-3. Based on the characteristics of Zhou Tiancheng’s ability to play up and down, Slomka arranged him in the center of the center of the three midfield, and Croatian Rakitic, who also ushered in Schalke's first show, can only serve as the right midfielder. In terms of function, it is obviously not as important as Zhou Tiancheng.
This made Rakitic feel a little unbalanced in his heart. When he was in Basel, he was wearing the aura of talented youth from the youth team. The first team also enjoyed the core treatment and the feeling of being used to being a central figure. Now It starts with green leaves. If he was to be assisted by a meritorious senior of Schalke, he would have nothing to say, but Zhou Tiancheng's qualifications in the five major leagues are as shallow as his own...
　　Although Rakitic admitted in his heart that Zhou Tiancheng was indeed powerful, that did not hinder his aggressiveness.
　　 He doesn't want to lose to his teammates who are on the same starting line!
　　 So as soon as Rakitic came on the court, he tried two consecutive straight-through scalpel passes. He wanted to directly penetrate the opponent's defense and let the coaching staff see their vision and passing skills.
　　 But this is really out of sync with the team's overall rhythm. Rakitic's eagerness to achieve this is counterproductive. The blind pass directly caused Leverkusen's main midfielder Rolfes to frequently steal the ball. In the opening half of the second half, Schalke 04's midfield combing encountered a lot. Big obstacle.
　　 Fortunately, Zhou Tiancheng was active enough. When he lost the ball, Zhou Tiancheng immediately took a step forward and snatched Rolfes. In terms of confrontation ability, Zhou Tiancheng may not have much advantage, but Zhou Tiancheng has learned through the system~EbookFREE.me~ that Rolfes’ weakness is a slow action rate, so Zhou Tiancheng did not take this step. No hesitation, quick and decisive, directly across the foot between Rolfes's foot and the ball, forming an effective destruction.
　　 Slomka's face on the coach's seat has changed significantly. He is obviously dissatisfied with Rakitic's treatment, but he has seen Zhou Tiancheng's commendable post-help defense awareness.
　　 "Hey, you can be a little more patient. This is the opponent of the Bundesliga. It's not that easy to deal with, you know?" Zhou Tiancheng helped Rakitic to remind him, after kindly helping him.
　　 Rakitic bit his lip without answering. However, from the situation afterwards, he temporarily suppressed his selfishness and returned to the normal state. His ability to control the ball and organization gradually showed, which proved that Schalke's 04 smart eyes and pearls made sense. His vision in the midfield And the long-range ability of the post-insertion is indeed outstanding, not to mention Zhou Tiancheng secretly affirmed, even Slomka, who had given him a low score at first, gradually raised his score.
　　 But to say that the most satisfying newcomer, of course, must be Zhou Tiancheng. Not only did he have a large running range on the court, he appeared in a key position in front of his house several times to complete the clearance, but the offensive end of the team can often be seen after he mobilized a long pass counterattack, and quickly rushed to the opponent's penalty area to participate in the final blow The end, and extremely threatening, completely disturbed Leverkusen's already solid midfielder, between offense and defense, as if Schalke had two cores in the midfield.
　　 No coach dislikes players with positive attitude and outstanding ability. Slomka originally thought that Zhou Tiancheng was an important substitute for the new season, but now he thinks that this positioning may be lower.
　　If you let him directly start, maybe he can reflect more unexpected value.
