Chapter 111 The worst luck is to meet the goalkeeper

Zhou Tiancheng's belief in the game is rare among young players of the same age, and there are very few situations that can shake him.But at this moment, Ming Tao's state made him a little confused, and he didn't know what more effective way to organize the team's offense.

Even his almost deadly set-piece can be rejected, what else can he do?
The opponent's back line is indeed full of loopholes, unable to withstand Schalke's repeated attacks, it is already crumbling, but the last hurdle in front of the goal has become the biggest obstacle.

Although Zhou Tiancheng knew that Ming Tao had a "crazy" attribute in his bones that could be stimulated, he did not expect him to be so crazy today, which has completely exceeded Zhou Tiancheng's expectations.What's more, he didn't expect that one day he would actually have to face this obstacle as an opponent.

After making a few key saves, Ming Tao's confidence increased even more. When Zhou Tiancheng saw a group of defenders surrounding him, he clenched his fists and shouted to lightly hammer his teammates' chests, his brows furrowed even more.Based on his understanding of Ming Tao, Ming Tao is usually a low-key person on the court, but when his body language increases, it proves that he has completely entered the rhythm of selflessness.

And the experience of being teammates with him in the past proved that once Ming Tao enters this state, he can almost guarantee the team's undefeated by himself!
Zhou Tiancheng frowned, it seemed that he had to think of a special way.

At the same time, Slomka also discovered this problem, and his response was more direct. He was ready to make the first substitution in less than 10 minutes, replacing Kobiashvili, a defensive midfielder, who was on the front line. Add a forward, the 1.8-meter-three Germaine Jones, this height does not have an advantage, but there is no way, the only flaw in Schalke's striker configuration is that there is no tower above 1.9 meters.Jones is already the tallest player besides starters Kuranyi and Altintop.

Assistant coach Biskens was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he still suggested: "Mirko, change now? Are you too impatient."

Slomka shook his head, looked at him and said, "Are you in a hurry? In a game like this, do we have to drag the suspense to the end, or even a penalty shootout? That's not worth it. Our real battlefield is the league and the Champions League. , I let the main players play, just to end the suspense in the shortest time! Now it is almost, add another fire, not far from the goal."

Biskens opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. He really wanted to say that Jones has never been a substitute who can change the game, but his tactical authority in the team is not high, unlike Dortmund's coaching staff. , Klopp's assistant Geri Kobvac has a lot of right to speak and advise on tactics.Slomka was tactically confident, so he didn't say anything.

Schalke's lineup is more offensive, with a formation close to 4-2-4. In fact, there is no concept of a midfielder, because it is not needed at all, and the ball cannot go out of the Darmstadt half. Zhou Tiancheng and Rakiti Qidu has already pressed the center line at the same time. Even judging from the current situation, it is no exaggeration to say that it is prudent to keep two central defenders in the backcourt. No problem.

Defensive players can take it easy, they basically have no tasks, but the players participating in the offense on the opposite side are getting more and more crazy.They can all feel that there is only a thin layer of window paper away from the goal. Once it is pierced, the next step will be easy, but today it has become an insurmountable existence in front of the goal.

In the first half, Schalke 04 had a total of ten shots. Rakitic's long-range shot was thrown, Zhou Tiancheng's set-piece was thrown, Kuranyi's goal was bombed, and Ming Tao pulled his teeth out. Hold down from the door line.

In the BJ studio, Duan Xuan didn't know how many times Ming Tao was mentioned in this halftime. During the halftime commentary, his tone was obviously shocked: "Mingtao, who has never appeared in our sight before, is like Like Zhou Tiancheng before, everyone was impressed by his half-time performance. He seemed to be possessed by Buffon and Casillas. This performance is of course a super-level performance, but his normal strength should not be weak. .Sure enough, the facts are forcing us to believe in one sentence, masters come from the people."

On the Internet, Chinese fans' amazement is much more direct.

"Strong! Strong and invincible, this goalkeeper is too good, his name is Ming Tao, I remember."

"To be honest, really, I came to see Zhou Tiancheng, but in the end I couldn't remember what Zhou Tiancheng played in this half. The screen was full of this goalkeeper."

"Although it may be scolding to say this, I still want to ask: Are you on drugs? This reaction speed is unscientific! A header two meters in front of the goal can fall to the ground and be pressed sideways? This is a peak cloth with a stable reaction. Feng, how can a yellow race be so physically fit?"

"That...let me flirt. If Zhou Tiancheng and this goalkeeper are selected for the national team, will it be possible to break out of Asia?"

"Upstairs, believe it or not, I'm going to cut you down, why are you talking about that horrible thing! My son, uncle told you, the national team can do nothing else, cheat teammates, we are professionals!"

……

In the midfield, Darmstadt was deeply motivated. In the second half, the opposing coach added another person to the defense, directly turning into a six-back bus formation, and even planned to defend to the end.

For Schalke, the bad news is that the 15-minute interval did not let Ming Tao's state drop. Instead, he chose to take the initiative to increase the control range many times in the second half.

As time passed, Darmstadt instead expanded its defense zone to 40 meters around the goal, consciously preventing Schalke's offense from going deep into this area to shoot long shots.And fouls are also very firm, in a word, a principle: try to prevent Schalke 04 from passing effectively.

In the last 15 minutes, Slomka signaled Zhou Tiancheng to go up to the striker, and Rakitic directly raised the ball from the midfielder, using the simplest tactics to achieve the effect.

Darmstadt's defense is a many-to-one double-team defense against Schalke's core forwards. Suddenly, Zhou Tiancheng is a high point. The defensive responsibilities are unclear for a while, and Zhou Tiancheng is really emptied. natural!
However, at this crucial moment of deciding the outcome, Ming Tao made a decisive attack and took the first step to shoot the racket from the top of Zhou Tiancheng's head, and incidentally hit Zhou Tiancheng on the forehead.

Ming Tao came over to care, Zhou Tiancheng slapped his hand away, and said, "Xiao Tao, you are enough, cheating is not enough, you still want to plot against me, what kind of enmity is this between us?"

Zhou Tiancheng really has an MMP in mind, what is the most aggrieved offensive player?It's better to have an advantage in the audience, but it's unfortunate that you encounter a goalkeeper who is full of various open and hanging states.In the end, if you can't score a goal, even if you raise your head and ask the sky, you can only get one answer:
That's luck!
PS: The author's favorite goalkeeper is actually San Cassie, but Buffon has just left Juventus. After all, he is considered a legend, so he took it out in the middle to brag.

Tribute to the Juventus teenager, the legend is not old!
