Grass roots glory

Chapter 106 Huh?penalty? !
Back in the locker room, Slomka closed the door and concluded the first half with a serious expression: "This is not the first time you have played the Ruhr Derby. Do you still need me to teach you some things? See, this It is the price of slack, leading by two goals can fall short. If it were not for the strong start of the week, we would be two goals behind now, everyone should adjust as soon as possible, we can lead by two goals in the first half, and we can do the same in the second half."

Feeling everyone's stares, Zhou Tiancheng touched his nose in embarrassment, and said to his teammates: "The boss is exaggerating, I just did what I should do. Low-key, low-key!"

Zhou Tiancheng is not used to publicizing what he has done. Although in the eyes of everyone, his performance is indeed outstanding, but his teammates do not understand the way of modesty in China, so Zhou Tiancheng's behavior at the moment, In their eyes, it was low-key pretentiousness, everyone's eyes were a little more playful, and some people were slowly shaking their heads.

"Zhou, can you stop pretending? Is it difficult to accept praise proudly? If you do this again, we will collectively despise you." Hewedes said deliberately squinting.Altintop and Farfan nodded deeply in agreement.Especially for the first goal, Zhou Tiancheng's performance can only be described as awesome in their opinion.

Dribbling the ball one-stop to defeat the entire defense, is this what a midfielder should do?

Of course, they actually hoped that Zhou Tiancheng would explode again in the second half. With such teammates, they would be much more relaxed.

During the intermission, the fans on both sides of the stands were not idle. The Dortmund Expeditionary Army witnessed the feat of the home team scoring two consecutive goals in the half at the last moment. Now is the time for restlessness, and the visiting team stands began to sing uniformly. , is the song "You will never walk alone" that is widely circulated in European football.

As soon as the Dortmund Expeditionary Stand sang, there was a burst of laughter from the Schalke fans. This song was first famous in European football. It was the heyday of the "Red Army" Liverpool in the 80s. It spread from Anfield to the whole world. Europe.With the spread of the Premier League's influence throughout Europe and even the world, the influence of this song is not limited to British football. Dortmund also chose it as the team song. The song emphasizes the strength of unity.

The song is a good song. Schalke fans just booed Dortmund for not even having their own original team song. The club's cultural heritage is far worse than Schalke's.To put it bluntly, this is borrowing, and in the eyes of Schalke fans, this is plagiarism!
At this time, the home fans of course have to show their sense of superiority, so after booing, the North Stand fans took the lead in singing the Schalke team song "Blue and White I Love You". The huge wave of singing shocked the media and commentators at the scene, and they joked: Even the fans are so competitive, these two teams are hopeless.

But it is undeniable that the singing of the Schalke fans inspired the fighting spirit of the Schalke players waiting to play in the player tunnel to a certain extent. The situation on the field at the beginning of the second half was almost a replica of the beginning of the first half.However, Dortmund has a lot of experienced players in the backcourt. In the first half, Schalke suffered a big loss in the opening blitz. Kyle even defended Zhou Tiancheng personally.He is 28 years old this year, and his experience, skills and physical fitness have accumulated close to the peak. Although the two are not at the same level in terms of physical fitness, he sticks to Zhou Tiancheng with a defense like brown sugar, which can still effectively compress the space for Zhou Tiancheng to move forward. .

After all, Dortmund is a strong team in the Bundesliga championship. They have a strong ability to respond quickly. They just rely on constant fouls to cut Schalke's offensive rhythm into pieces and survived the first 15 minutes of the second half. .

Of course, this also comes at a price.Kyle received a yellow card, and Dortmund's midfield defense planted a major hidden danger.

Duan Xuan's voice immediately became more excited by two points: "Kyle received a yellow card, Slomka should now consider replacing Croatian star Rakitic as soon as possible, and now it is completely possible to pursue the effect of combining two swords and focus on attacking Dortmund's center .”

The guest commentator Tao Weixiong thinks the same, but Slomka has his own considerations at this critical moment. The team is still suppressing the opponent. Young people are quite adventurous, a little carelessness is tantamount to death.

Although Rakitic's performance is considered excellent by rookie standards, in Slomka's eyes he is still inferior to Zhou Tiancheng.

The roles of the two teams in the second half are very subtle. Schalke 04 continued to suppress. They regarded Dortmund as fish on the chopping board, while Klopp recovered the midfielder to assist the defense, while leaving three players in the frontcourt. Using the counterattack sharp knife to act as a hunter, Schalke is the prey in their eyes. Now they wait for the prey to make a mistake, reveal a flaw, and then launch a fatal blow.

In fact, Slomka felt more and more uneasy when he couldn't attack for a long time in the second half. He had repeatedly studied the videos of Dortmund's previous three games, which aroused enough vigilance in his heart.The game is close to seven and 10 minutes, and he is already seriously considering whether to replace Rakitic to strengthen the offense.

But just at this time, Zhou Tiancheng crossed Kristajic in the midfield, but unfortunately the latter stepped on a relatively soft turf, tripped and missed the ball, Shaheen made a quick steal, Dortmund The midfielder pressed forward collectively in an instant.

This scene directly made Slomka stand up from the coaching bench, and the counterattack from Dortmund that he was worried about came!

Counting the striker trident stranded in the frontcourt, Dortmund's counterattack number reached five in an instant. In the five-on-five situation in the frontcourt, Shaheen quickly put a kick straight to the right side of the penalty area to Zidan, and Qidan started the first sprint. The line has been blocked by Westerman's rich experience and fast replacement. Seeing that it is impossible to go straight to the penalty area, he chooses to protect the ball out of the penalty area first, dribbles along the right side of the penalty area line, and then sets up a turret for Shaheen in the middle, Turkey The midfielder has a long-range shooting ability from outside the penalty area.

Shaheen was heavy on this kick, but Zhou Tiancheng just approached from the side and rear. Seeing the frequency of kicks under Shaheen's feet, he could only choose to take a horizontal step and block the bullet hole sideways in the penalty area.

"boom!"

The live sound on the TV clearly reflected the power of Shaheen's kick, but it bounced back outside the penalty area after hitting Zhou Tiancheng's body.

The Schalke fans were just about to cheer for this beautiful defense, but the referee Merk, who had no sense of presence throughout the game, suddenly blew his whistle at this time and made a penalty that could change the result of the game—he pointed to the penalty area Twelve yards!

"Ah? Penalty?!" Duan Xuan raised his voice in disbelief.
