Grassroots Glory

Chapter 45 Is the first home defeat inevitable?

In fact, Duan Xuan is wrong. No team in Europe has the capital to underestimate Bayern. Schalke attaches great importance to it. It can only be said that Klinsmann’s pre-war mobilization is too effective. The energy of losing and wolf nature have been found again.

The opening goal brought great encouragement to the Bayern players. Except for the three central defenders Lucio, Van Buyten and Demichelis, the other seven players all overwhelmed the halftime. Klinsmann played today Obviously, it took a lot of effort to arrange the formation in the middle of the midfield. Van Bommel, Schweinsteiger and Ze Roberto are all players with the attributes of running and dribbling at the same time, especially Ze Roberto. This veteran has also played as a left-back, and his man-marking ability is still outstanding. Klinsmann let him play to focus on Zhou Tiancheng's feet. Ze Roberto knows that his height of 1.72 meters and 30 At the age of four, it is definitely not a good way to fight head-on with a strong young man like Zhou Tiancheng, so he kept swimming slowly around Zhou Tiancheng, and if there is any pass to Zhou Tiancheng, he will take the lead if he has the opportunity Steal the ball with one step, and if the situation is not good, he will also try to stretch out his foot and poke it. In short, it is to prevent Zhou Tiancheng from receiving the ball easily and create opportunities for the surrounding Bayern players to steal the ball.

This is the first time Zhou Tiancheng has seen such a defense, which completely prevented him from coherently organizing the ball. Slomka changed his midfield partner from Rakitic to Kobyashvili today. , in order to strengthen the defensive thickness of the midfield, Kobiashvili has done a good job on the defensive end, and there are still few opportunities for Bayern to directly open the defense line after stealing the ball from the middle, but this kind of ball is about to pass. When it is at the foot, the opponent suddenly rushes out and pokes it. It is like a toad crawling on the foot, and it does not bite people who are disgusting.

The reason why Schalke 04 couldn't organize an effective attack at the beginning stage was largely due to Zhou Tiancheng's inability to get the ball smoothly, and the main energy was forced to devote his energy to the physical confrontation with the opponent for the ball.

The supporters of Schalke 04 were very worried. The disadvantage in the score was not what they cared about most. It was Zhou Tiancheng who got into physical fights again and again that made them terrified.

Everyone is aware of Zhou Tiancheng's role, as long as he can gain space like before, the disadvantage of one ball is nothing at all. But if you continue to play like this, the physical exertion will be secondary, and more importantly, there is a high possibility of injury.

If something happens to Zhou Tiancheng, the impact on Schalke 04 is not just a matter of one or two games. Slomka has been standing on the sidelines and hasn't sat down for nearly 20 minutes since the start of the game. Every time Zhou Tiancheng fell to the ground, Slomka shouted emotionally to the referee: Yellow card! Yellow card! Hey, it must be given!

But the on-duty referee, Breher, was covering his pockets tightly today. The same pair of shovels brightened the soles. Right under his nose, Ze Roberto and Van Bommel used it against Zhou Tiancheng three times in a row, and Breher took out a yellow card. Van Bommel.

Schalke may be in real trouble today. Almost all of Bayern's defenses are aimed at Zhou, but the referee's whistle is still very loose, which further encourages Bayern players to attack Zhou unscrupulously.

Bayern's face is still big enough. This is the benefit of the giants. There is no difference between home and away games.

Duan Xuan's words were insinuating, and he was not afraid of offending Bayern fans among the Chinese fans, because he believed that Zhou Tiancheng had more fans.

The boos of the audience could not affect the Bayern players to continue to attack Schalke 04 according to their own rhythm. Several dangerous situations at the beginning made Schalke's defense pay special attention to marking Klose and Podolski.

The attempt to play behind the back directly from the center was blocked, and Van Bommel logically transitioned the ball to the left, and handed it over to Ribery to use his personal ability to tear the hole on the side.

Although Zhou Tiancheng had various difficulties in the opening 20 minutes, he had the urge to have a fight to vent his anger, but when he saw Ribery get the ball, he still remembered the important task assigned by the coach, and immediately got stuck. The position of the penalty area line behind the left back Bordon - if Ribery intends to cut inside and break through, even if Bordon is passed, the position where Zhou Tiancheng is stuck is the only way to enter the penalty area.

Franck Ribery's breakthrough speed was as powerful as Zhou Tiancheng knew in the system. With a light tap of his left foot, the ball hit the opposite direction of Bordon's body, and then he accelerated with one step and directly left Bordon behind.

Zhou Tiancheng saw the situation, and the moment Ribery accelerated, he took a step horizontally. At the same time, he spotted the ball rolling along the baseline, and stretched out his long legs to shovel out of the baseline.

But what I didn't expect was that Ribery's foot speed was faster. He observed Zhou Tiancheng's intention and grabbed the ball to the outside to his right foot before Zhou Tiancheng tackled the ball.

Zhou Tiancheng secretly said Oops, which made the opponent flash out of space. Whether it is a small angle shot or a high point pass with a curved ball, it is quite dangerous!

Ribery must not be allowed to pillage!

Zhou Tiancheng made up his mind, lay down on the ground and quickly moved his body laterally. His right foot, which was stretched out to tackle the ball, abruptly turned to the outside in the opposite direction. The instep stretched to the outside to the limit, and he caught Ribery and swung his leg. This fleeting opportunity was lightly poked, the ball was poked down behind Ribery, and Bordon quickly made up to steal the ball.

Beautiful! Zhou Tiancheng's adaptability is really strong, Duan Xuan praised.

The camera then focused on Schalke's attacking direction, but Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger retreated in time. The ball just advanced to the midfield, and the quick counterattack was killed.

But at this time, the referee Breher suddenly blew his whistle, and then a large number of Schalke players on the field began to run towards the team's penalty area in the broadcast footage.

When the camera turned, everyone found that it was Zhou Tiancheng who stole Ribery's position just now, and he was still lying in the penalty area and didn't get up!

Ah? This...can't be so bad, right? Marcel Leff didn't know how to describe this mutation, it couldn't be worse.

Just now I saw Zhou Tiancheng fighting with others, everyone was very worried about this scene. Now the score has not been equalized. If something happens to Zhou Tiancheng, Schalke's first home defeat of the season in 2004 may be very difficult to avoid. .

The hearts of the home fans and the Chinese fans sitting in front of the screen were tense, their eyes fixed on the screen, but Zhou Tiancheng was surrounded by a group of teammates, the audience and the commentator couldn't see his situation clearly, so they could only pray anxiously in their hearts .

Zhou Tiancheng should be fine. We all know how strong his physical fitness is. He can even survive the powder keg-like intensity of the Ruhr Derby. There should be no problem this time. Just now This time the tackle did not touch Ribéry, which means it will not hurt key parts such as ligaments, so it should not be a big deal.

Duan Xuan is not only comforting the Chinese fans, but also comforting himself.
