Vol 2 Chapter 113: Flexible big man

At noon on the day of the game, the whole team had lunch in the hotel restaurant. Magath asked everyone to return to the room to recuperate, but left Zhou Tiancheng alone.
"What's the matter, coach?"
Magath pondered for a few seconds and said, "It doesn't matter much, just to tell you. Be prepared. You are still the starting striker in the evening game."
Zhou Tiancheng showed a trace of surprise, the coach's stubbornness was really beyond his expectations. His last performance as a striker was in his heart. He could manage to ignore the media's doubts, but he had originally estimated that this game might return to the midfield. Unexpectedly, Magath still let him start at the forward position. .
However, he still feels warm about the arrangement of the head coach, standing still means trust.
Zhou Tiancheng did not react for a few seconds. Magath observed his look and offered to express what he was thinking: "Do you feel surprised. Khalil (Altentop) and Germani (Jones)?" They are all forwards, and there are so many questions to you, why am I still so stubborn?"
Magath did not mention Jiang Hao. Although he came to London with the team, Magath did not intend to report three forwards at the same time in the limited 18-man game list (seven substitutes), so Jiang Hao is the three other than the 18 One of the alternates came with the team. Unless it is Altendorp and Jones's temporary accident that has no possibility of appearance, he may make up the list of 18 people. Of course, even if he is on the roster, his chances of appearance are minimal. After all, apart from the German Cup, he hasn't even officially appeared in the league.
Zhou Tiancheng was even more surprised when Magat said the problem at once. Does he still read mind?
But he also raised his ears, and really wanted to know what Magath thought.
"First, objectively speaking, you are very strong. Although Chelsea are the technical flow in the Premier League team, they are still the Premier League team and they are very good at confrontation. We need a strong fulcrum, so this is your task today. "
Zhou Tiancheng's expression was two points serious. Today's burden seems really light...he immediately thought that he will play against England's main defender John Terry at night.
"The second thing..." Magath paused, and then said: "I want everyone to see that my adventure is not wrong, Zhou, I believe you can be a forward. Although you are tall, you are a Flexible big man."
At this point Zhou Tiancheng touched his head gently, he was never too humble about his strengths.
...
Before the game, in the visiting team's locker room at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Magath held Chelsea's starting lineup, emphasizing: "Ivan, the passing rhythm must be fast, and Barak must not be forced to come up!"
The opposite Ancelotti discharged a 4-4-2 formation, goalkeeper Cech is still the main force of the iron; captain Terry and Ricardo Carvalho partnered with the central defender, left defender Ivanovic, right defender is also England international Ashley Cole; double midfielder Lampard teamed up with German international Barack, one attack and one defense. The reason why Magath emphasized that the midfielder should play faster is because Barak has a superb interception ability in the midfield. Zhou Tiancheng is a new star in B2B midfield, and Barak even interpreted B2B midfield to the extreme. It's a pity that the two can match up, and fans can see a matchup between the new and old B2B midfielders, but unfortunately Kuranyi was injured and fell through.
This pot, Kuranyi came back.
In addition, the left avant-garde is the French international Malouda, and the right-wing position of Ancelotti's choice is Joe Cole, which is also the England international. On the front line, Drogba partner Anelka, Chelsea's two most important siege hammers.
Before approaching the game, Magath finally inspired everyone: "Come on, use a victory and bless Kevin."
At the mention of Kuranyi, everyone immediately added two points of spirit and shouted in unison: "For Kevin, we have to win!"
...
During the pre-match pick-up procedure, Schalke won the pick-up and Chelsea won the kick-off.
Westman chose to let the team attack from left to right in the first half, because behind the right goal is obviously the area where Chelsea fans gather the most. The pressure to stare at the boos offensive in the first half was naturally great. But in the second half, the pressure will be much smaller.
But on the other hand, it is also an unfavorable factor. Chelsea took the lead in the first half kick-off, and will inevitably take advantage of the home interest rate to make it difficult for the first time.
Only two minutes after the opening, Drogba and Anelka jointly created a dangerous situation. Drogba rubbed Westman's header with a superb physical force before the penalty area and Anelka quickly inserted. On the right side of the penalty area, he grabbed a chance and shot, and the ball nearly swiped across the post.
A sigh of regret rang out at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Looking at the full blue, Zhou Tiancheng was a little uncomfortable. It took a few seconds to remember that this was in London, not the blue of Schalke Stadium.
"Ah! Good luck. The 4-4-2 formation is very demanding on the personal ability of the two strikers, but it must be admitted that the two strikers of Chelsea are too strong. For Schalke, the first task is to withstand the opening twenty minutes."
However, Magath didn't plan to fight against the road today, which is clear from Schalke's response. Neuer immediately took the goal kick. The ball crossed the two lines and directly found the front court accurately. Zhou Tiancheng took the initiative to find a physical confrontation, leaning on Terry and stretching the foot to control the ball.
Based on his experience, Terry believes that Zhou Tiancheng must rely on himself to play for the teammates behind him, but at this time the Schalke players who are inserted later still have a certain distance, but his own midfielder Barak is Come quickly.
Terry gently pushed Zhou Tiancheng in his hand and did not dare to move too much in the frontier of the penalty area, but he pushed Zhou Tiancheng outwards with his hand and prepared to poke the ball under his feet, as long as he could poke the ball slightly away from Zhou Tiancheng With his body farther away, Barak rushed back to steal the ball with great possibility.
Zhou Tiancheng naturally knows the situation in front of him, UU reading www. uukaanshu.com had originally planned to give Farfan a plug in the side before Terry closed, but he suddenly felt that the hand behind him was slightly shorter.
He realized that this was an opportunity, then immediately changed the ball to the left foot and knocked on the side and back, and then the whole person turned back immediately...
Terry's height is 1.87 meters, so when destroying the ball under the striker, the process of lowering the center of gravity is still obvious. Face-to-face one-on-one may not feel, but it is easy to feel the change by holding the ball on your back.
Zhou Tiancheng seized the opportunity of his moment of lowering the center of gravity.
Terry was originally full of confidence. As a result, he just leaned over and was surprised to find that the ball and Zhou Tiancheng's feet had disappeared from his sight!
Immediately after hearing the full of exclamation and boos, he suddenly felt bad and turned his head to find that Zhou Tiancheng had appeared behind him, facing the goal guarded by Cech!
"Oh! Zhou! He's here again, and he turns around and throws away Terry. He is really a flexible big man."
Although Sky Sports Bob Clem has always stood in Chelsea's position, but Zhou Tiancheng's performance, he found that he wanted to say bad things, he was embarrassed to say it.

PS: There is one more change at ten o'clock, just after watching the World Cup final.
Let’s make a small prediction about the final. Croatia and France will draw 0-0 in 120 minutes, and Croatia will win the penalty shootout...
The French team fans lightly spray...
The French team has already won the World Cup, and the return of the king is certainly good-looking, but the story of the new king ascending the throne is more exciting!
Croatia's tenaciousness deserves the championship honor.
Fight, Balkan nation!
