Grassroots Glory

Perhaps it was because the Olympic team had just returned from a disastrous defeat at the Olympic Games. CCTV World Soccer suddenly broke out that Zhou Tiancheng scored twice on behalf of Schalke 04 in the German Cup, which made the fans and football people in the industry once again Wounded hearts find a placebo. In short, with the help of Internet media, the name Zhou Tiancheng has rapidly fermented in the football circle. The media are eager to dig out more information about him first, and the fans are even more eagerly looking forward to knowing who Zhou Tiancheng is.

There are few doubts this time. One is that Zhou Tiancheng is already playing on behalf of Schalke 04, and the other is that as the edited video of World Soccer spreads wildly on the Internet, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly: these two goals , There is no airs, it is completely hard power!

Many well-known media began to contact those domestic clubs with strong youth training capabilities to inquire whether Zhou Tiancheng came from their youth training system. There are also some media who choose a more direct method and directly send interview teams to Germany to grab the news!

CCTV regards the Olympic Games as the main event and cannot find enough manpower, but professional football media such as Football News are different. Their focus is on the five major leagues. Now that Zhou Tiancheng has suddenly appeared, they naturally have to pay attention Take a look at the performance of the Bundesliga debut. The interview team has already received the editor-in-chief's task order before departure. If Zhou Tiancheng's Bundesliga debut is really a surprise, it is best to grab an exclusive interview first, and the news value will be great.

...

On August 15th, the 2008-09 season of the Bundesliga kicked off. This season, La Liga started as early as the Premier League. However, La Liga will be postponed to early September because many players will participate in the Olympic Games.

In the opening game of the first round, Borussia Mönchengladbach lost 1:3 to Stuttgart at home, and several teams with high attention will not encounter any strong opponents in the first round. Bayern VS Hamburg, Bielefeld VS Bremen, Leverkusen VS Dortmund.

It is worth mentioning that Dortmund, the Bumblebee who is regarded as the most qualified to challenge Bayern, has just undergone a coaching change. Last season, this team only ranked thirteenth, creating the worst record in 20 years. At the end of the season, Dortmund The high-level executives couldn't bear it anymore, and directly attacked Thomas Dole's position. It was replaced by Mainz coach Jurgen Klopp. Dortmund chose him probably because he valued his practical and passionate coaching style, and at the same time he was good at promoting and training echelon players.

As a Bundesliga powerhouse that once reached the top of Europe, Dortmund aims at the hope of revival at young fresh blood. To some extent, I should have learned some experience from the strength of the rival Schalke 04 in the past two seasons.

And Schalke's opponents in the first round are not strong, sitting at home against Hannover 96, it is not a big problem to win normally. However, Zhou Tiancheng is looking forward to this game. Not only does he have the opportunity to usher in his Bundesliga debut, but he can finally realize a wish in his heart and set foot on the Schalke Stadium as a player.

Zhou Tiancheng still clearly remembers the enthusiasm of the Schalke fans he felt in the audience more than a year ago. Being able to play in such an atmosphere, the passion of the players themselves will be easily ignited, especially the dialogue between the strong and the strong. The more energetic, proudly going to Schalke's devil's home court, for young players, is the best place to easily stimulate combat effectiveness.

However, Zhou Tiancheng will not be so stupid as to patronize excitement. The day before, he was familiar with Hannover 96 in the system. After all, this is his first opponent. trust.

Before the match, the two had a communication, and Slomka recognized Zhou Tiancheng's ability very much. However, considering that his opponent ranked eighth last season, Slomka hopes that Zhou Tiancheng will be patient and wait for the opportunity on the bench first.

Zhou Tiancheng naturally did not have any objections.

Schalke sports director Hegel and club chairman Clemens both yelled the slogan of the league and cup double-line championship in the interviews before. The first home game of the new season will accommodate a maximum of 61,000 people. Erker Stadium was packed.

The fans ignited the entire stadium with passion from the moment they entered the field.

Use the shortest sentence to describe the atmosphere of the home court: heart patients do not enter!

Out of prudent considerations, Slomka's main force in the starting lineup is still the main force that was handy last season. The starting formation is 4-3-3. The goalkeeper is Manuel Neuer. The double central defender is Westermann and Brazil. Bordon, left back Christian Pender, right back Rafinha, three midfielders Kobyashvili, Kristajic and Gustavo Barrera, striker Asamoah and Altintop Jr. were separated on the two wings, and Kuranyi was the arrowhead. Except for the fine-tuning of individual positions, this lineup is basically Slomka's handy main lineup.

Schalke really took advantage of the home court to quickly enter the state and took the lead to seize the start. In the 18th minute, Kobyashvili counter-stealed the ball in the frontcourt, and passed the ball to Kuranyi by mistake. The Germany international seized the opportunity to hit the goal with a low shot and a long kick.

The dream start made the scene go crazy, and the fans saw the good start and were already waving to the home team.

However, behind the smooth scene, there was an accident on the field.

Kobyashvili, who had just sent an assist, and the opponent's Hungarian midfielder Justi had a 50-50 match, and accidentally sprained his ankle. After checking, the team doctor immediately applied an ice pack, which means That is, the game just fell through.

For Schalke, opening the scoring early is not as influential as this bad news. According to the schedule, there are two very important games at the beginning of the season. The first round of the Ruhr Derby at home in the fourth round of the league is absolutely impossible to lose. Before that, there will be a round of Champions League qualifying. [Note: According to the ranking of the league, in the 2008-09 season the Bundesliga only had two places to directly enter the Champions League. Schalke was the third place last season and needed to play a qualifying round. 】

Seeing this scene, Slomka was very worried about whether he could catch up with these two key battles. But a more realistic situation is that he must consider the immediate substitution adjustment.

The first thing he thought of was Zhou Tiancheng. Rakitic has no problem attacking, but he is not qualified for the defensive task of Kobiashvili, which is similar to a midfielder position. And Zhou Tiancheng's offensive and defensive all-round and active style of play can bring more changes to the field.

Zhou Tiancheng was fully prepared to wait for this moment, so he was not too surprised. Every step he took on the court seemed sonorous and powerful.

The home fans saw that it was a new face, and the audience burst into applause. As fans of Schalke, they are very aware of the importance of fresh blood to the team. They represent the future and more expectations, so they should not hesitate to send encouragement.

Zhou Tiancheng was a little moved when he heard the thunderous applause from the audience. For the first time when he set foot on the Schalke Stadium, his heart was full of motivation.
