Chapter 8 Comprehensive Ability Advantage: Twice Emergency Rescue

After 1 minute, the opponent's attack made a comeback.

Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences is constrained by the gap in overall strength. No matter how hard Zhou Tiancheng works, he is only a central defender. At most, he can only ensure a solid defense without conceding goals, but he cannot score goals to bring the team the lead Advantage.

This is why young players generally prefer the striker position in particular.Most young people are eager to be the focus of the field, like the central defender, who is not thankful for his efforts, it is natural to succeed in defense 99 times, and he will be targeted if he makes a mistake. Unless there is a special request, not many people are willing to take the initiative this responsibility.

It turned out that Zhou Tiancheng was the same. He was in the school team in high school, and he often kicked his own position before mentioning the midfielder. He even actively participated in the frontcourt offensive such as corner kicks.We all know that the striker is the most likely position on the court, but because the possibility of scoring is high, most fans will only remember the scorer, so Zhou Tiancheng is also eager to enjoy the cheers.

Although he is a defender, he also has the heart of a forward.

However, what really prompted him to truly recognize his current role as a central defender was last year, the 2006 World Cup final.

Zhou Tiancheng watched Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro defend French striker Henry to the point of helplessness throughout the final.

Watching Cannavaro's performance at that time, Zhou Tiancheng really understood that defense is also an art with unique aesthetic feeling. With a height of 1.7 meters [-], Cannavaro can form a overwhelming advantage over Henry when he takes off to compete for the top, not to mention his strong confrontation in the style of a predator, excellent danger prediction, and always stronger than a striker. A quick slide to clear the siege...

Ordinary fans may remember Materazzi's "little plan" in the final to induce Zidane to end the curtain with a red card, but Zhou Tiancheng was impressed by Cannavaro's performance. Trazi's partner taught Zhou Tiancheng a very exemplary lesson.

"It turns out that this is the real defender."

And that year Cannavaro became the first defender to win the World Footballer of the Year with the honor of the World Cup champion, which made Zhou Tiancheng firmly regard him as his ultimate goal as a player.

As long as they are stronger than the top strikers, the defenders can also stand on the top of the pyramid!
Through the World Cup last year, Zhou Tiancheng realized this belief, and now with the help of the system, he feels that he has obtained a shortcut to achieve his goal.

To reach the height of Cannavaro, Zhou Tiancheng still has a long way to go, but in the finals of the university league that he is in, he has already shown an absolute strength that is clearly superior to most others.

The offense of Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences is still not improving. The mixed-race midfielder of Dortmund University of Technology wearing the jersey No. The leading striker Fei Molin has no advantage at all in front of Zhou Tiancheng, whether it is in the air or on the ground.

In the cheerleading teams of both sides, except for those girls who came here only to make up the number of people, anyone who knows a little bit about football can see that TU Dortmund is only taking the initiative to take advantage of the ball possession and attacking posture. Operational University of Applied Sciences Gelsenkirchen.

The head coach of Dortmund University of Technology also has coaching experience in low-level leagues. Seeing this scene, he was also a little anxious, and quickly signaled the midfielder to change the focus of attack.Zhou Tiancheng couldn't open a gap from this side, so he concentrated on attacking the other side, which is their right flank, the left half of Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences, and the area in charge of another central defender.

TU Dortmund thought very well, as long as one side is torn open, no matter how strong Zhou Tiancheng is, he will not be a god, and it is impossible to do everything.

Half of the idea was realized. The central defender on the other side was indeed not as good as Zhou Tiancheng. The Dortmund Technical University’s simple combination of passing and cutting from the side and the center tore apart the defense line. The first attack after the change, the opponent’s right The avant-garde entered the penalty area directly from the left baseline.

It may be that he has had the advantage on the field for a long time but failed to form a threat. The short right midfielder of the opponent directly volleyed at a zero-degree angle.

"boom!"

This shot was powerful and heavy. Although Ming Tao moved to the near corner on the left side of the goal, this choice was completely beyond his expectations, and he subconsciously reached out and missed the ball.

With this kick, the opponent touched the ball with the lower half of the arch of the foot and pulled out an extremely fast speed. What he wanted was the result of the ball hitting the inner side of the far post and bouncing into the net.

But in the end things backfired.

The ball passed Ming Tao's last line of defense and rolled towards the far post, but Zhou Tiancheng appeared in the most correct position, fell to the ground on the penalty area line and swept the ball out of the baseline.

The visiting team's cheerleaders suddenly burst into cheers. Although Chu Yunling was in the audience of Dortmund University of Technology, she applauded secretly in her heart, with a proud smile on her face, she was astonishingly beautiful.

Zhou Tiancheng's emergency rescue also greatly boosted the team's morale. After Ming Tao got up from the ground with lingering fears, he directly hugged Zhou Tiancheng: "Brother Cheng, thank you."

"It's not over yet, concentrate and pay attention!"

Zhou Tiancheng gave the opponent a corner kick for this clearance. Dortmund University of Technology took the corner kick No. 10, and there was a scuffle in the penalty area. Zhou Tiancheng believed that the main goal of the opponent was Fermelin, so his main attention was also on Fermelin. .

It was also because of this that there was no effective communication between him and Ming Tao, and Ming Tao chose to attack rashly this time, but he didn't even touch Mao. The ball crossed the front and center and went straight to the back.

The right midfielder who wasted an opportunity just now happened to pick up the leak in front of the goal and faced the empty goal.

The cheerleading team of Dortmund University of Technology immediately burst into cheers. Off the court, Coach Fabitz looked serious, but his heart was twisted.There was just a wonderful rescue just now, so you want to give the other party a big gift when you turn around?

For these players, the blow was bigger than normal.If this continues, the second half will probably be even more difficult.

However, Coach Fabitz's worried expression quickly stagnated on his face, and the pair of eyes behind the glasses frame were wide open.

He saw that the big man in the blue jersey stretched his legs calmly and kicked the ball directly on the goal line to clear the siege when the opponent leaned over to the top!
It was Zhou Tiancheng!
This time, including the cheerleaders from the Technical University of Dortmund, the audience burst into exclamation.

It is nothing new for a central defender to block an offensive player's shot on the goal line, but to clear the ball directly with his feet without using his body, this requires how accurate the judgment of the landing point and trajectory is, how Quick instant response, and what a strong psychological quality!

Zhou Tiancheng's ability to defend twice in a row shook the confidence of the student army at Dortmund University of Technology.

In their eyes, Zhou Tiancheng is an unbreakable wall that is everywhere.

Fei Molin took a serious look at Zhou Tiancheng this time, thinking to himself: Could it be that he was a player who was eliminated by a youth training center or a professional echelon?

Femerin had to think that he could be stronger than himself, the player whom Dortmund favored.

No wonder he was able to say something like that before, and it seems that he is really capable.
