Grassroots Glory

When Tina heard that Zhou Tiancheng had this idea, Dai Mei frowned immediately, her mouth was pouted, but she said firmly, How can this be done! Don't you Chinese have any spirit of contract?

Although Tina is very open and casual in many cases, but still maintains the seriousness and rigor inherent in Germans, Zhou Tiancheng is naturally joking, but he can see that if he really intends to go back on his word under this situation , Tina absolutely never finished with him.

I'm just joking. Anyway, I'm also a college student, and the risk of default is clear, but I really can't stand you joking like this.

There are still two days left before the echelon's unified notice to return to the team. Zhou Tiancheng hasn't gone to the base for extra training in these two days. It's rare for him to be diligent about housework and tidy up the empty house. It's not for others to see , but always let yourself have a good mood.

Two days later, Zhou Tiancheng reappeared early at the gate of the training camp. But what surprised him was that besides him, Jiang Hao was the second to arrive.

Zhou Tiancheng suddenly chuckled, Jiang Hao had never been so active when he was on the school team, it really is because the platform is different and the motivation is different.

Jiang Hao also saw Zhou Tiancheng, and hurried over. Looking at the empty field, Jiang Hao was very surprised: Brother Cheng, where are you? Didn't you report for duty today?

Zhou Tiancheng joked to him: They're not like you, they've been pumped with blood. I bet fifty cents, you must have been so excited that you couldn't sleep last night. You were so excited for the first training, then you will still be so excited after the training. Playing, scoring, how many firsts are there, I am very worried about your mentality.

Jiang Hao replied nonchalantly: The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. We will wait until that day to talk about those things. This is the first time I am exposed to the training of the professional echelon. Why can't I get excited?

If I didn't say it, do as you please. Zhou Tiancheng spread his hands, Jiang Hao's state of being happy at any time and Ming Tao are completely two extremes, sometimes he can't understand this kind of brain circuit, and he can't learn it Come.

In addition, Zhou Tiancheng also cared about Jiang Hao a few words in other aspects, that is, those life problems that Lunet asked him.

Jiang Hao said with a smile: I'm not as hypocritical as you. When I signed the contract, I agreed to let the club arrange people to live. I like to join in the fun. The family is very good. Other people's sons are also members of the echelon here, and they are still He's a genius, he's already playing with the U17s, but he's only fourteen.

Hearing what Jiang Hao said, Zhou Tiancheng also became interested: Heh, I'm still a grade-jump student. I'm really awesome. If you have a chance, introduce me.

Jiang Hao said: No matter how much he can skip a level, he is not as good as the two of us. He jumped directly from amateur to professional. This is a direct jump of a dimension, haha!

...

After all the players arrived one after another, the first thing Elgort did was to introduce Jiang Hao, a new member, who appeared in front of everyone wearing the No. 19 jersey. Even though he was very excited in front of Zhou Tiancheng, he was still a little nervous when facing a group of strange new teammates.

But luckily, he didn't encounter Zhou Tiancheng's embarrassment. However, while paying attention to him, many people also looked at Zhou Tiancheng with meaningful eyes. The meaning was obvious: Why did China suddenly have so many geniuses? I didn't have one before, but it's very fresh to have one, and now they are in pairs.

After the first training session, Zhou Tiancheng asked Jiang Hao, How do you feel?

Jiang Hao nodded: It's okay, I can keep up, but the speed advantage is not so obvious, and I can't get rid of the defender.

That's for sure. In the final analysis, this is also a professional arena. You think it's as simple as college. You can consider developing more skills. I'm not asking you to give up your specialties. One specialty can do more. The more skills you have, the better you are in coaching. The weight in my heart is getting heavier.

Time passed day by day, Schalke U19 was preparing for the new season U19 Youth League,

He also played many warm-up matches with clubs that have made great achievements in youth training, such as Wolfsburg, Freiburg, and Stuttgart. The team is in good condition, with two wins and one draw in three games. In the Freiburg U19 game, he got a 20-minute debut opportunity, and his performance was also very good. In the limited playing time, there was an anti-offside long-distance attack on the crossbar, which almost opened his scoring account in the professional echelon.

Zhou Tiancheng was a substitute in the first of these three games against Wolfsburg U19, and started in the other two games. Elgort thinks highly of Zhou Tiancheng and gives him enough opportunities to show himself. Zhou Tiancheng's performance did not disappoint the coach, but the more this is the case, the more difficult it is for Elgort to choose the defense line in the new season.

Last season, Hewedes and Matip were an unshakable combination of central defenders, but now that Zhou Tiancheng is extra, Elgort must give up one or the other.

Hewedes must not move. He is the captain of the team, and his role on the field is far greater than that of the pure defense core. What really makes him difficult is how to arrange Zhou Tiancheng and Matip.

Through these warm-up sessions, Elgort unexpectedly discovered that Zhou Tiancheng had more comprehensive abilities than he had seen before. The specialties of defensive filling, stealing and long pass counterattack have been further improved, and the speed of turning and chasing back, which has been a short board before, has also improved a lot.

Moreover, the central defender combination of Zhou Tiancheng and Howedes made Elgort see the possibility of transforming the team's tactical system into an offensive and defensive system, and a full attack and full defense. The key point is Zhou Tiancheng's ability to instigate precise long passes.

But at this stage, Zhou Tiancheng's physical resistance ability has always been flawed. Although the system helped him improve his consciousness, it didn't change his physical condition. Zhou Tiancheng is 1.93 meters tall, but weighs only 81 kilograms. He is thin for a normal person, let alone a professional athlete.

What Elgort is worried about is Zhou Tiancheng's physical condition. If he doesn't gain weight and increase muscle density, the intensity of the competition will be high, and it is easy to cause injuries due to physical fatigue. At his age, if he encounters a major injury, it is easy to form old physical injuries, that is, hidden diseases, which will affect his entire career and even his life after retirement.

As the coach of the youth team, Elgort is responsible for the future of each player in addition to tactical considerations. Thinking of this, Matip, who is as strong as a tank, is very suitable for him.

This multiple-choice question is very difficult for Elgort to do, but every head coach hopes to encounter this kind of happy trouble.

Norbert, why do you force yourself to choose like this? Zhou and Joel have their own advantages, maybe we can find a way to get the best of both worlds.
