Chapter 58 First Team Manager Interests
After the team doctor entered the field, he checked Jiang Hao's condition and was surprised. Seeing Zhou Tiancheng squatting beside him, he asked, "Zhou, did you handle this?"

Zhou Tiancheng nodded: "I don't know much about it too, did I handle it right? There won't be any problems, right?"

The team doctor gave a thumbs up: "Although you are not very professional, you actually know the first aid method for sports shock. Where did you learn it?"

Zhou Tian let out a sigh of relief, and replied, "I learned it from the TV show."

"Oh, that's it..." The team doctor originally thought that Zhou Tiancheng had a background in sports medicine.

Although it has been treated urgently, Jiang Hao's condition must be sent to the hospital for further examination.Seeing Jiang Hao being sent to the ambulance, although Zhou Tiancheng was worried, he probably had the bottom line in his heart, and there shouldn't be any serious problems.

Jiang Hao's injury was a small episode on the court. Hewedes played the role of captain at this time and took the initiative to communicate with Zhou Tiancheng: "Zhou, everyone is very worried about Jiang's situation. I understand your feelings. But The game isn't over yet, it's not time to get distracted."

Höwedes' concerns are entirely human.Zhou Tiancheng didn't say anything on the surface, but he responded with actions.

In stoppage time in the first half, Schalke U19’s left forward relied on his personal ability to speed up the inside cut, attracting the opponent’s defensive center of gravity, and then made an inverted triangle pass to the outside of the penalty area. There was a defensive vacuum in front of the penalty area. Zhou Tiancheng was comfortable He kicked a shot and drew a very beautiful arc. The ball hit the lower edge of the goal frame and flew into the net. The opponent's goalkeeper did not respond.

That's the best response.Not only did Jiang Hao not waste the advantage that Jiang Hao fought for, but he further secured the victory.

Although Hamburg U19 changed into a three-central defender in the second half, their top star Schupmoting pulled back a goal before the end. Schalke U19 finally won 2:1 and advanced to the second round of the German Youth Cup.

After the game, Zhou Tiancheng immediately went to the team doctor, wanting to know which hospital Jiang Hao was sent to, so he wanted to visit immediately.The team doctor gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, he went to a hospital that has a cooperative relationship with us. I have already learned about it. The hospital said it was nothing serious. It was just a temporary shock caused by the impact on the head. Hurry up." If you do, you can wake up tonight and leave the hospital after a few days of observation."

Zhou Tiancheng was a little relieved, but before Jiang Hao was discharged from the hospital, he definitely wanted to visit. That night, he also contacted Ming Tao on QQ to explain the ins and outs, and made an appointment to go together at that time.Ming Tao returned a terrified expression, and said, "Oh my god, I suddenly feel that I don't want to play professional football that much anymore. It's good to just hang out on the school team. Although the level is low, at least it's safe..."

Zhou Tiancheng chuckled, he knew that Ming Tao was definitely joking, otherwise when he and Jiang Hao were selected by Schalke, Ming Tao would not have compared himself to himself, and was so sad.

……

The Youth German Cup was successfully promoted, and Schalke's U19 double-line triumphed. However, the players who fought hard in the last game did not know that the head coach of the first team, Mirkoslomka, also paid attention to their performance.

Since Schalke 04 won the Bundesliga runner-up last season, the new season began to face the two-line battle of the Champions League and the league, and the thickness of the lineup was quite tight.After the start of the German Cup, it is facing a third-line battle.Although Slomka decisively chose to abandon the Champions League to protect the league, the wave of widespread injuries is still inevitable.

The most terrible thing is that the position where there are large-scale injuries is on the defense line. Westerman, Pender, and Kristajic have suffered injuries successively. For Schalke, this has shaken their foothold. foundation.The most important guarantee for them to win the runner-up last season is a solid defense. Only conceded 34 goals in 32 league rounds, the best defensive team in the entire Bundesliga, even conceding five goals less than Stuttgart, which won the championship in the end.Faced with this dilemma now.Slomka's best choice at the moment is to tap the potential internally.

And his goal of coming to the youth team this time is also very clear, that is U19 captain Hewedes.Because Hewedes had the experience of training with the first team last season, Slomka was very optimistic about him at that time, so his name was included in the 25-man roster of the first team for the new season.In other words, as long as Hewedes is capable enough, he will immediately follow the first team to play in the Bundesliga.

For the needs of the first team, even if Elgort is reluctant, he can only meet them unconditionally.On the second day, everyone in the team knew the news that Höwedes had been promoted, and the head coach came to take him away in person. Everyone had envy in their eyes.

When Hewedes bid farewell to everyone, he took a special look at Zhou Tiancheng with a demonstrative smile, and said, "Haha! What's the matter? Although I haven't taken advantage of you, but now it seems that I am better than you." Be stronger."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled calmly: "Maybe we will meet soon!"

Hewedes was stunned for a moment: "Well... Maybe, with your strength, there is hope, this day will not be too far away."

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head: "Maybe, it's still here!"

Zhou Tiancheng's joke hit Hewedes' sore spot. He has already "taken the elevator" up and down between the first team and U19 twice, so he put on a very angry face: "I won't Back. We'll see you in the first team."

Hewedes also hugged Zhou Tiancheng, this hug was a bit sympathetic.Although Zhou Tiancheng made a bad joke, he already regarded the captain as a role model in his heart.

Slomka saw the performance of the two from the side, which was a little strange.Although he paid more attention to Hewedes in the last game, Zhou Tiancheng's performance also caught his attention.He decided to ask Elgort about Zhou Tiancheng who suddenly appeared in his field of vision and aroused his interest.

"Norbert, did you transfer No. 50 from the lower echelon? When will the club have Asian players?"

"No, he doesn't belong to our youth training camp. It was an accident to find him."

Elgort recounted the process of how he discovered Zhou Tiancheng with great interest, with a smile on his face the whole time.Because excavating Zhou Tiancheng was his masterpiece, he felt lucky for it.

Slomka was even more surprised: "No way? College players, can they show such a strong dominance in the youth league?"

"To do youth training is to believe in the impossible. Because geniuses always go beyond the norm." Elgort replied naturally, as if he had never been surprised by all this.

"Mirko, are you also interested in him? The first team won't be so short of people, right? Although the U19 should fully support the first team, you should take it easy, we also have the task of winning the championship."

Slomka smiled: "You have said that, so can I still have an idea? However, I will want his weekly game data in the future, and now I can not take him away, but you can't care about the end of the season." It's..."
