Vol 2 Chapter 43: UEFA Champions League victory, waiting for Bayern

Almost within a few seconds, between the electric light and the flint, Zhou Tiancheng created an excellent opportunity by himself. Asamoah received the ball without marking in the penalty area. For him, no matter There is no difficulty in shooting or passing.
As the main winger of the Ghana national team, and has dual nationality of Germany and Ghana, and has been recruited by the German Football Association, Asamoah's ability to handle this kind of ball is not difficult. He even glanced confidently at the goalkeeper's position before choosing to volley the goal near the corner, so that goalkeeper Tremel had no chance of rushing.
The Cottbus player's face is naturally hard to conceal. After only 14 minutes, he missed a goal. How to play in the next game? Does it make sense to keep it?
Shao Jia looked at Zhou Tiancheng's back in a daze for a moment, and shook his head and smiled bitterly. Before the game, he said that Zhou Tiancheng was very strong. Although he admitted that this was a fact, it was also a kind of humility. He felt that even if the team's overall strength differed greatly, He and Zhou Tiancheng should be able to compete one-on-one.
But he couldn’t think of Zhou Tiancheng’s easy and free approach to passing him directly. He didn’t think there was any omission in his defense. It’s true that Zhou Tiancheng’s way of playing football exceeded his knowledge of Chinese players – even The teammates of the Korea-Japan World Cup cannot control Zhou Tiancheng to such a degree.
Now he somewhat understands why he can only mix relegation teams, and Zhou Tiancheng's reputation in the championship team.
After Shao Jiayi figured it out a little, he gave a thumbs up to Zhou Tiancheng. Zhou Tiancheng immediately met and gently nodded his head to smile.
The fans who saw this scene were also very happy. They hoped that the two Chinese players could each play brilliantly.
Although the "China Derby" statement can be seen everywhere in the domestic news these days, this is only a means used by the media to increase the attention of the game. It does not mean that the two players will really fight for each other. There won't be that kind of motivation.
Although it was on the road, Schalke won the game very easily. In the second half, Hevedes corner kick for the team to lock the score at 2:0.
A little regret is that in the 67th minute, Shao Jiayi had a kick to hit the center post and missed the goal, otherwise both Chinese players will have data (Zhou Tiancheng assists once.)
...
At the end of the 11th round of the Bundesliga, Sloemka began to focus on the next league opponent Bayern Munich. Although there are still the fourth round of the Champions League at home and Liverpool back to back, but from the objective situation of the two fronts, Obviously the league side is more important.
Although Sloemka lobbied in front of the media for the Champions League to win the championship, but the situation is compelling, he will not be really confused to lose the league's overall situation for an indispensable goal. In that case, the face may be saved, but the seat under the buttocks may be dangerous.
In the face of this tie to ensure the team's first qualifying match, all media also found that Zhou Tiancheng was not in the starting list of this game. First, there was a consternation. He thought that Zhou Tiancheng had no secret injuries and could not play, but he was very Quickly think of the opponents in the next round of the league after this Champions League, all of a sudden understand Slomka's intention: to save for Bayern!
This also reflects the attention and prudence of the Bundesliga team coaches facing Bayern. Even if they are only ranked fifth in the standings, there is still some distance away from the top of the list, but Sloemka has never regarded them as a poor general. Opponent watching.
To despise opponents is to pay a price. For a team like Bayern, even if they drop out of the standings for a while, even if they really can't win the championship, but being a spoiler is definitely more than enough. They have the ability to beat any of the top four teams and can compete. The water of Guan Group was very muddy.
It is precisely to understand this that Slomka took the most attention to preparing for the game and Bayern, this attitude is very clear, in order to win Bayern, the Champions League must stand sideways!
Zhou Tiancheng did not start, the difference in strength between the two sides on the central axis was more obvious, Slomka re-arranged the formation into 4-3-3, Kobiasvili and Kristaic returned to the starting line, the attack was launched The task requires Rakitic to assume more. Slomka's special explanation to the midfielder today is to always pay attention to each other's position level, that is, to make Rakitic's offensive end do not rush up, and can use a long pass to counterattack, you have to rely on the personal speed of the winger to solve.
There is no way, if Liverpool's midfield is a few world-class star configuration, Sloemka will not choose such a slouchy anti-anti-tactic at home.
Today, the home fans headed by the North Stand are much quieter, because basically the visiting team is under siege. The only bright spot of the home team is that the defense is very tough. Westman and Hevedus are against Torres and Kuyt. As well as the impact of the Dutch star Babel, the three midfielders were also very active. Rakitic and Mascherano several times faced the shovel for the five-and-five ball. They still showed him in front of the home audience. Tough side.
Schalke 04 has a kind of toughness like a miner in his bones. In many cases, he is more frustrated and stronger under adversity. Although most of Liverpool's offensive frenzy made them a little embarrassed, they also inspired the fighting spirit in their bones.
In the first half, there was no goal, 0:0.
Seventy-five minutes into the second half, there was still no change.
Benitez is a little bit unsettled at this time. It is strictly acceptable to score a point away, but it is not very safe for the second-ranked Liverpool. Benitez wants to replace substitute forward Engel to make the final Give it a go. But Slomka's adjustment is one step ahead of him.
Passing most of the half, Sloemka was keenly aware that the offensive of the opponent had slowed down and his physical fitness had reached a depletion period. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he directly replaced Zhou Tiancheng on the court and began to concentrate counterattacks in the last 15 minutes!
Marcel Leif saw Zhou Tiancheng playing and raised his eyebrows: "Slomka replaced the most efficient killer of the season. Since Zhou played, at least one draw is stable, it can be said that Schalke 04 has locked the first position in Group D."
But he soon regretted it-the result was not a draw at all.
In the 87th minute, Zhou Tiancheng drove the ball to break through Alonso in the counterattack, the straight ball penetrated the defensive loophole on the side of Carragher, and Altentop, who was inserted offside, penetrated Reina with a low shot. Ten fingers off.
Liverpool's repression close to the audience is less than ten minutes of Zhou Tiancheng's appearance~EbookFREE.me~After the game, many reporters regarded Zhou Tiancheng as the biggest hero, but Zhou Tiancheng waved his hand and gave the credit to other teammates: "I just Participated in the winning ball, the team's defensive investment before this can not be ignored, you only focus on goals and assists players, it is very unfair to defensive players."
To say that Zhou Tiancheng can gain a firm foothold in the first team for a short period of time, technology is only one of the important factors, and the teammates' approval is fundamental. And why can you agree with him? High EQ is a very important aspect. With his remarks, all backline players including Neuer, Westman and Hevedus will be very comfortable.
But Benitez only said: "We have done everything, and the gap with Schalke 04 is only a short-term success."
Interestingly, the next day, Liverpool’s chairman’s call reached Schalke’s chairman, Clemens. The other party said
friendly exchanges
, but he mentioned Zhou Tiancheng intentionally or unintentionally.
Clemens, who has long received the following report, does not know what the other party thinks. He directly replied: "In our Schalke, no player is a non-sell product. But this is the first year of Zhou’s professional contract. If you have the intention, , I'll talk about it next summer."
As soon as the other party heard that there was a play, they hadn't had time to be happy. Clemens coughed and added, "Thank you if you are ready to talk to us about 100 million euros."
Clemens laughed loudly at both ends of the phone.
Make you play, no discussion!
