Chapter 200 Can Play Forward

Ricardo Carvalho was beside Terry, so Zhou Tiancheng's attempt to turn around just now did not deceive him. In fact, he had already warned loudly at the first moment: "John, be careful!"

Then he found that Terry was focusing all his attention on the ball under Zhou Tiancheng's feet, and he couldn't hear his prompt at all, so he resolutely moved towards the direction where Zhou Tiancheng turned to defend.

Terry is a traditional British central defender with strong frontal defense ability but slow turning.Carvalho is completely different.Although he is not short, at 1.8 meters [-], only five centimeters shorter than Terry, he is a stream-of-consciousness defender. The judgment of the landing point and the speed and accuracy of tackles are the foundation of his foothold.

Zhou Tiancheng turned around and gained space for a shot facing the goal, but at the same time Carvalho also appeared in front of him.

At this step, he didn't rush to step, and kept observing the direction of Zhou Tiancheng's feet, ready to wait for the opportunity to strike before he attacked.

Zhou Tiancheng originally planned to shoot immediately, but now he has to get rid of Carvalho first.

He took the ball and accelerated a step near the baseline, but didn't go straight to the bottom. If the angle is too small, there will be no shooting space. The purpose of his acceleration is to block Carvalho and occupy a favorable position.

In terms of explosive power, the 20-year-old Zhou Tiancheng had a clear advantage over the 31-year-old Carvalho, so in this step, Zhou Tiancheng directly threw off Carvalho, and then directly kicked his legs.

Although Carvalho was behind in the step of starting, he still stretched his legs close to the ground, trying to block Zhou Tiancheng's shot.

But when Zhou Tiancheng saw a leg sliding towards him, he changed his mind again. The moment he touched the ball, he lost the power of the shot, took a step like a change of direction from the outside, and cleanly threw away Carvalho, and then dodged again. shot angle.

"Wow!! One man KO's two central defenders of Chelsea, Schalke's opportunity is coming!" Marcel Leff shouted at the top of his voice.

This time, Zhou Tiancheng was about to shoot for real, and shot directly to the far end of the goal with his right foot.Petr Cech was standing at the near post. At this moment, he was completely unable to save, and the ball went directly to the upper corner of the goal.

At the Stamford Bridge Stadium, more than 1000 expedition Schalke fans were excited and rejoicing in the away team fan area. Many of them felt bad for Zhou Tiancheng.A few days ago, they all knew about Zhou Tiancheng's doubts from the media from all over the world.Now is the best proof.

Efficiency drops?

Can midfielders play badly as forwards?
Look at this goal!

What the hell are you talking about!
Our week is almighty!

At this time, Chelsea fans looked at the Schalke players in white away jerseys celebrating wantonly. No one felt disappointed, they just shook their heads.

Both Terry and Carvalho were passed at the same time. It can't be said that the two superstars are not focused, right?It can only be said that Zhou Tiancheng's ball is so good that he has nothing to say.

While those Chelsea fans in China were excited, they did not forget to laugh at themselves with the excitement of Chelsea fans: "My car looks like it will turn over again this year."

(Because the name of the Chelsea team means "cheluzi" in Cantonese, and many Chelsea fans in Guangdong and Hong Kong call themselves "car fans", so it spread to the mainland, Chelsea fans are collectively called "car fans". Let's popularize the term "car fans" origin.)
……

Perhaps it was karma, as Anelka had just missed a chance to blitz and Schalke turned around and scored just one minute and 50 seconds into the game.

Once again, it proves a very popular saying in football: wasted opportunities will be punished.

It was almost behind at the beginning, although it would not make Ancelotti and Chelsea stars who are used to big scenes mess up, but it is not easy to bring the situation on the court into a balanced state in a short time.

After all, this is the Champions League, there are no underdogs in the Champions League, and Schalke 04 was last year's semi-final team.Even in Chelsea's home game, Ancelotti had to let the formation recover a little bit to avoid the edge.

However, this does not mean that Chelsea completely retreated to take a beating.It just reduces the direct attack from the center, but crosses from both sides can still pose a great threat to Schalke. After all, this is the traditional routine of the Premier League team, and they have a real monster in the center—Dro bar.

Chelsea's routine is very simple. Find Drogba with a high pass from the side. Even if you can't directly head the ball, you can use Drogba as a fulcrum to do it. Both Ballack and Lampard have a very good long-range shooting ability. , the offense still ends in the middle.

However, this temporary tactic is only suitable for defensive counterattacks. In other words, the current offensive dominance on the field is still dominated by Schalke 04.

After leading the score, Schalke 04's offensive became more fierce. Magath naturally considered the leading situation before the game. His instruction to everyone was: Once in the lead, take advantage of the victory and pursue the offensive. The more aggressive the better!
Because a team like Chelsea must never give him any chance to slow down, and it is difficult to predict when he will suddenly recover, but one thing is clear: once Chelsea is allowed to play an offensive, the counterattack will be abnormal ferocious!
Therefore, even if they are temporarily leading, Rakitic and Holtby are still actively approaching Lampard and Ballack to press. Although they are not on the same level as their opponents in terms of technical and physical confrontation, at least they can do it with the ball. You can only live with one person.

The success rate of this kind of pressing is not high. Three times out of the four sieges, the referee called a foul for kicking someone down, but one time was successful because the two of them had a tacit understanding at the moment when Lampard received the ball. All of a sudden, they joined forces to siege Lampard without giving him room for a second reaction. Compared with Ballack, who is similar in stature to Zhou Tiancheng, siege Lampard is naturally more sure.

After stealing the ball, Rakitic still passed it directly to Zhou Tiancheng with his big foot, and the wingers on both sides moved to the middle to get close to him. Only by letting Zhou Tiancheng take the ball and organize it can the offensive efficiency be higher.

Zhou Tiancheng was nailed in front of the central defender again like a nail. This time Terry was fully focused, and frontal defense was his housekeeping skill, but he miscalculated again——Zhou Tiancheng's center of gravity was pushed back, and his body was extremely tight. Most of the core strength was on Terry. Terry felt like holding a boulder on his chest in a Hercules competition. Not to mention jumping, even trying to resist this force would have a reaction on Zhou Tiancheng. impossible.He could only resist, and Zhou Tiancheng squeezed Terry with his excellent physical fitness, and gave the ball to Farfan. The latter took advantage of Zhou Tiancheng's good opportunity to quickly cut into the penalty area, facing Petr Cech, The right foot quickly pushed the near corner, extending the score advantage to two goals.

"A good goal! In just 15 minutes, Zhou Tiancheng contributed a pass and a shot. Facts have proved that he can also be an excellent striker."

He Wei obviously also knew the German media's doubts about Zhou Tiancheng, otherwise he would not express it like this... In fact, if he hadn't been a commentator and had his own professional ethics, as an ordinary fan, He Wei would never have been so polite.

What he really wanted to say in his heart at this moment was - whoever thinks Zhou Tiancheng can't do it, come out and take two steps!

PS: It will be released in advance after codes are completed in advance. It is the last night of the World Cup. Everyone has a good time watching the game.
