Grassroots Glory

The home team, Dortmund University of Technology, took the lead. It is worth mentioning that the colors of the jerseys of the two teams are very distinctive, highlighting the football characteristics of the two cities. Zhou Tiancheng's Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences paid tribute to Schalke 04 in blue.

Spectators with richer imaginations may think that they are watching a derby in the Ruhr area at the inter-school league level. It’s okay to imagine this way, but the confrontation between school teams is still much less enmity than the derby in the professional arena. The smell of gunpowder. Because players like Zhou Tiancheng did not grow up in the football culture of the Ruhr area. At most, they only regard the opponent as an opponent that must be won on the field, rather than a life-and-death enemy who fights to the death.

Of course, the rival rivalry between him and Femerin is an exception.

After the kick-off, TU Dortmund took the initiative to seize the initiative on the field. According to the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, coach Feibitz arranged a 4-4-2 formation with parallel midfield positions on the field, based on defense and counterattack. Ming Tao started as the goalkeeper, Zhou Tiancheng wore the No. 5 jersey and the captain's armband to lead the defense, and Jiang Hao and another No. 20 high center forward with a height of 1.87 meters appeared on the front line. Jiang Hao's characteristic lies in running and interspersing in the frontcourt. At the same time, he arranges a bridgehead on the front line that can hold the ball and support him to feed him the ball, which can give full play to his advantages in the counterattack.

In the past ten games, Jiang Hao scored eight goals alone, accounting for 60% of the team's total thirteen goals. The state was so hot that Coach Feibitz almost pinned all his goals on Jiang Hao. body.

But fullness of ideals is a good thing. Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences must face a very cruel reality. The strength of the opponent is indeed a level higher than them, especially in the gap between the two midfielders. Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences The No. 8 and No. 10 of the Technical University are defensive midfielders with strong running ability and excellent interception ability, but the delicateness of organizing offense is obviously insufficient. In the previous games, Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences' offensive routine often even relied on Zhou Tiancheng's long pass to directly hit Jiang Hao on the front line to form a counterattack. After all, Zhou Tiancheng's long pass ability can reach an outstanding level of 74 after being evaluated by the system according to the standards of professional players. It's scary.

As long as Jiang Hao moves diligently, the opponent's defense will always have a lot of space that Zhou Tiancheng can use. The previous front and back field connection is also the key tactic of Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences' counterattack.

But today it obviously failed. The opponent obviously did a special study and arranged a three-back formation in the formation. The two central defenders are always in the vicinity of the penalty area to prevent the counterattack of Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences. Attacking back and forth in time to contain Jiang Hao, the most lethal striker.

Such a targeted arrangement can be said to be only the first step. The pressure exerted by Dortmund University of Technology in the midfield is also very strong. In the first half, the physical fitness is sufficient. The biggest shortcoming of the University of Applied Sciences has been revealed. It lacks a true organization core and a midfield leader who is truly worthy of the No. 10 jersey. When the opponent is prepared, all long pass attempts will be in vain. Instead, the hard-won ball will be returned to the opponent in a short time. Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences played very hard in the opening stage, always in a passive state of defense.

From the choice of tactics, it can be seen that Dortmund University of Technology is quite confident. Knowing that such intensity will bring huge physical energy consumption and may bring hidden dangers to the second half of the game, they still spare no effort. Obviously they all believe that they lack final experience. Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences will collapse before them. Dortmund University of Technology simply wanted to end the suspense of the game in a quick way.

Compared with the misnamed No. 10 of the Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences, the No. 10 player of the Dortmund University of Technology is a typical midfield leader. He is at most 1.7 meters tall and has a yellow and white complexion. He should have half Asian blood . However, his style of play in the midfield is very similar to that of the new Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas. Not only can he pass the pass that tears the defense to drive the striker, but in the situation where the defense is constantly recovering, his back shots and breakthroughs are also good. quite prominent.

The game lasted only fifteen minutes, and the scene had completely turned into a one-sided half-court offense and defense. The back line and midfield line of Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences could only be recovered to the vicinity of the backcourt penalty area.

Zhou Tiancheng was very busy during this period. With a height of 1.93 meters, as the absolute height of the back line, he was logically arranged by Coach Feibitz to stare at the opponent's high-risk tower Femolin.

As soon as he fought against Fei Molin, Zhou Tiancheng knew that this was not a simple opponent. Even though he was two or three centimeters taller than him, his skills were not weak at all. At the beginning, Zhou Tiancheng thought that he would rely on his body to lean on himself like a traditional standing center, and then give back to his teammates, and then use the opportunity of passing the ball to go to the middle to grab points and give full play to his height advantage, but He didn't expect that the opponent was actually a big and flexible man. After stopping the ball with long legs, he pulled the ball and turned around, facing the penalty area directly.

Zhou Tiancheng was quite surprised. Not every big man can have such a skill at his feet. This characteristic of Femolin reminded him of a superstar, the Swedish Goatazlatan who just transferred to Serie A Inter Milan last summer. ? Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Seeing that Zhou Tiancheng was blocked by him, Fei Molin felt complacent, but that's all! With this strength, the result can only be easily crushed by himself.

But soon it was Fermelin's turn to be amazed. Zhou Tiancheng didn't intend to fight him head-on to grab the ball from behind, but quickly took a step to the left, while focusing completely on Femorin's feet. He's waiting for a chance to tackle the ball.

This opportunity came from the moment when the opponent kicked the goal. Since Femolin is tall and strong, the swing of his legs is not small. Zhou Tiancheng just aimed at this gap and directly fell to the ground from the side to slide the shovel. It's like snatching food from a tiger's mouth, abruptly destroying the opponent's chances out of the sideline.

At the same time, Zhou Tiancheng's body inertia also brought Femorin down this time. The home team's cheerleaders protested for a while. Femorin fell to the ground and turned to look at the referee. Get up quickly.

Fei Molin could only shake his head in frustration, and threw himself into the game. Compared to the fact that the referee did not award a penalty kick, what made him even more incomprehensible was how Zhou Tiancheng suddenly appeared at his side and put the shovel so quickly.

For Zhou Tiancheng, this is actually nothing at all. Don’t forget that his reaction ability reached 67 in the system test, and he was able to take a step sideways when Fermolin turned around just now, which fully reflects this reaction ability Advantage, on this platform, his defensive ability is absolutely outstanding.

And all this is just Zhou Tiancheng's secret. As for Fei Molin, he had no choice but to accept the reality.
