Chapter 169 "Asia's No. [-] Star" Changes Owner?
At this moment, the audience fell silent, and all the Schalke fans covered their mouths and put their expectations on their faces.

Zhou Tiancheng adjusted his breathing and started to run slowly. At this critical moment, the home game has a unique advantage. At least the fans will cooperate, and the kicker does not need to bear the psychological pressure caused by the noise.

While running towards the ball, Zhou Tiancheng was still looking at Van der Sar's position, his rhythm was fast and slow, and Van der Sar's experience was also staring at Zhou Tiancheng, judging the shot from the direction of his torso, but he It's just that the mind is tense all the time, but the body doesn't move away a little bit hastily.

After all, Van der Sar is still experienced, and he knows very well that if the goalkeeper shifts his focus first when he hits a penalty kick, it is purely trying to die.

This is a confrontation at the psychological level. Two people who are twice their age are competing to see whose heart is stronger.

Zhou Tiancheng paused several times in the process, but did not deviate in the direction of his body. Van der Sar's first reaction judged that the ball would be shot to the right, but he suddenly woke up before pressing his center of gravity to the right.With Zhou Tiancheng's golf quotient shown earlier, it shouldn't be that simple!
So he adjusted his center of gravity back, and before Zhou Tiancheng really made his move, he didn't move at all.

At the same time, he still had these two points of luck in his heart.I hope that Zhou Tiancheng will notice this series of changes, and then be thrown into chaos by himself.

But the result was going to disappoint him.Zhou Tiancheng quickly swept towards the dead corner on the left side of the goal with the arch of his foot.All the previous moves were false moves, and the real change came from the slight flick of the ankle at the moment of touching the ball.

Although Van der Sar judged the right direction, Zhou Tiancheng's shot was fast and from a tricky angle, flying right past his fingertips into the absolute dead corner of the goal.

"GOOOOOOAL!!!" Marcel Leff performed his lion's roar again, and shouted loudly: "2:0! This score is probably not expected by anyone, but don't be too surprised. Because Zhou himself can People who perform miracles... well, maybe they can really create even greater miracles, what is impossible?"

But Duan Xuan stood up from his seat and shouted: "Two goals! Zhou Tiancheng scored twice in the semi-finals of the Champions League, against Manchester United, the champion of the Champions League! It's amazing! It's only 10 minutes, maybe... ...hat trick? Haha!"

The scene was plunged into the waves of a blue ocean, Zhou Tiancheng enjoyed the cheers of thousands of people, and Park Ji-sung, who was not far away, had a gloomy face.

Obviously, Zhou Tiancheng was the brightest figure in the audience during this time, and he...

He can't accept this situation. The title of Asia's number one star has been crowned on him for a long time!

Since he took this title, he had to perform well.Otherwise, with Zhou Tiancheng's current performance, if he gets the same amount of honor as himself, wouldn't it mean that he can't even compare with Chinese players!

Thinking about it this way, Park Ji-sung felt a little unacceptable, he had to show some strength to have a chance.

But the chances he wants are destined to be limited, and his role in Manchester United cannot reach Zhou Tiancheng's current level.On the offensive end, Ronaldo's left side is the center of gravity. Scholes and Carrick's passes basically point to this side. Park Ji-sung wants to justify himself, so he can only look for performance opportunities on the defensive end.

Two goals behind, this time reflects the difference between the giants and the average team.Ferguson did not direct the formation to press forward, not to say that he is [-]% sure so far, but he knows that if he rushes forward rashly and faces Schalke's sharp offensive in the middle, the consequences may be more serious if he is slightly negligent in his positioning.

Instead, Manchester United first deployed defenses in the midfield, step by step to attract Schalke 04's central attack, and then looked for opportunities to counterattack quickly.

Compared with positional warfare, the super conversion speed of defensive counterattack is the secret weapon that really makes Manchester United stand out from the crowd.

But now holding the two-goal advantage, Slomka logically signaled everyone to slow down the pace. Schalke 04 significantly increased the frequency of backcourt possession and inversions, forcing Manchester United to press out of the formation.

The development of the situation on the field is like the surface of the sea. There was a turbulent wave in the beginning, and (climax) (tide) after another. Now it seems calm on the surface, but in fact, there are undercurrents surging.

Schalke has enough patience and capital to consume time, but Manchester United can't afford it. Schalke now has sufficient capital, but it will be extremely detrimental to them if they continue to consume it like this. Time is now the biggest enemy-if in half The score cannot be rewritten before the field. In the second half, Schalke can continue to use this tactic more relaxedly. After all, they can only take the initiative to have a chance.

After half an hour of the game, Manchester United's midfield line suddenly began to press forward as a whole. Carrick learned the lesson of the opening this time and was more accurate in timing. When Zhou Tiancheng passed the ball, the ball left his feet and quickly took a step forward. Steal the ball.

"This is an opportunity! Fight back." Bob Clem shouted excitedly.

Manchester United immediately fired four arrows in the frontcourt. After Carrick got the ball, he took a look at the situation. Ronaldo was on the other side of the far end, and the long pass was risky. It was easy to be caught up by the full-backs. Not too slow, he was plugging in at a high speed, Carrick naturally wouldn't look far away, and a precise long pass directly penetrated Schalke's midfield defense. Westman, a smile flashed in his heart.

Kung Fu pays off, finally waited for the opportunity!
Park Ji-sung raised his foot and it was a volley!
"Manuel Neuer!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.

Neuer's attention was very concentrated. Although Park Ji-sung's shot was powerful, the angle was not too tricky. Neuer shot the ball directly with both palms.Park Ji-sung didn't expect that the kick didn't go in, so he rushed to the ball and prepared to strike again.

But before he could get close to the ball, Zhou Tiancheng had already arrived first. Right in front of him, with a long leg hook, he directly brought the ball under his control.

Pu Zhixing suddenly became angry, even though he fell to the ground, he stretched out his foot and tripped Zhou Tiancheng.

This scene happened under the eyes of many Schalke defensive players. The referee Rossetti was not far away. He blew his whistle immediately, touched his jacket pocket, and showed a yellow card to Park Ji-sung with a stern expression. The meaning was obvious. : I endured you not once or twice!

Park Ji-sung, who received a yellow card, still had an angry expression on his face looking for faults at any time.It is estimated that he really didn't deliberately target Zhou Tiancheng. If it were someone else, he would still play this kick. He played very violently throughout the first half and had no place to release it.

The on-site satellite broadcast signal was sent to Ferguson on the coach's bench, his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with this expression at the moment.

As for whether he has opinions on Park Ji-sung's behavior or is dissatisfied with the team's overall performance, it is up to various media to interpret.

But there is no doubt about one thing, Zhou Tiancheng's performance completely overwhelmed Park Ji-sung, not only in scoring statistics, but also in several direct matchups.

"Judging from this halftime, Park Ji-sung's title of 'Asia's No. [-] star' may not be worthy of the name." Duan Xuan joked lightly.
