Grass roots glory

Chapter 143 Is it just a pass?

Seeing Zhou Tiancheng rushing towards him with the ball, the two central defenders of the Iranian team hesitated for a while. One wanted to retreat and wait for the midfielder to catch up with the encirclement. The other wanted to rush forward and take the initiative to steal Zhou Tiancheng. The actions were not consistent, and a gap was exposed in the line of defense between the two. Zhou Tiancheng took advantage of the timing, and the whole person was crushed into the penalty area like a tank.The two Iranian defenders wanted to turn around and make amends, but Zhou Tiancheng had already blocked the favorable position. With Zhou Tiancheng's confrontation ability, there was no way for them to stop them from behind, and there were many restrictions on the defense of the defenders in the penalty area. Only the positive goalkeeper Rahmadi can hope to defend.

But in the face of Zhou Tiancheng, who rushed to close range aggressively, Rahmadi lost first in terms of momentum. This is a big taboo for goalkeepers. Offset, the real trick is to volley the middle of the goal!

"Beautiful, the goal has been scored! The goal has been scored! Goal in the first show, this is the national team script that Zhou Tiancheng should have. And this one-stop is enough to bring enough shock to the Iranian midfielders!" He Wei sonorous said forcefully.

In 28 minutes, China 1:0 Iran.

This score makes most fans feel unreal. Are we actually ahead of the top Asian teams? !

But the fans at the scene didn't have the heart to think so much. Now is the time to celebrate, and they began to shout for Zhou Tiancheng crazily, even though Zhou Tiancheng was now pushed down by many teammates surrounding him.

Meanwhile, Darmstadt, Germany.

Ever since Zhou Tiancheng posted the message in the group that he was going to play for the national team, Ming Tao and Chen Pengfei were very concerned about Zhou Tiancheng's performance.Among the four of them, Zhou Tiancheng was the first person qualified to play for the country.They specifically log on to CCTV's official website to watch the online live broadcast.

"I'm going to be awesome!" When the two of them saw this strong one-stop, they both sighed with this sentence. Even Chen Pengfei, who is good at breaking through and attacking, could only be convinced in capital letters.

At the same moment, Gelsenkirchen.

The U19 holidays are not over yet. Jiang Hao secretly followed Zhou Tiancheng at the Schalke fan’s house where he shared. After seeing the goal, he couldn’t help but clapped his hands and shouted in Chinese: “Ah, good goal !"

"What's the matter, Jiang, what are you calling?" Draxler, the young master of the house and a talented player from Schalke's U17 team, ran into Jiang Hao's room and asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was so excited about my friend's game." Jiang Hao apologized quickly.

Draxler's gaze stayed on the screen for a while, and he subconsciously murmured: "Team China..." His tone was obviously indifferent.

But it happened to be a goal replay at this time, even if Draxler glanced at it unconsciously, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this technique is very good, if you guess well, Jiang, this should be Zhou Tiancheng, right? "

Jiang Hao nodded: "Julian, what, I didn't lie to you, did I? This is the ability of first-team players. Don't always brag about yourself. Can you and I achieve such a coherent technique?"

"I'm two or three years younger than him, but he's normal. As for you...Jiang, come on, sooner or later you can be like him."

Draxler left after finishing speaking, and Jiang Hao stared at the screen alone, thinking about it.

The game scene on the screen.

The lagging Iranian team began to take the initiative to speed up. They saw Zhou Tiancheng's running and intercepting ability in the midfield. When hitting the ground ball was not feasible, they began to directly kick the ball by the central defender. On the front line, Dejaga and Ansarifa The two German forwards began to compete with the Chinese team's defense for speed.

This trick really pinpointed the Achilles heel of the Chinese team's central defenders. Both Zhang Yaokun and Dewey are stream-of-consciousness defenders. They are not the kind of fierce men who rely on physical explosiveness and speed. difficult.One is a Bundesliga striker, and the other is a "post-19s" young striker. He is not yet [-] years old. He has nothing but the age of rushing, running and working hard.

Before the end of the first half, the Iranian team relied on the repeated speed impact of the two to rewrite the score to 1:2 and achieve a lead.

He Wei hit the nail on the head in the half-time summary: "The Iranian team raised a new issue for Gao Hongbo. Zhou Tiancheng can indeed bring great changes to both offense and defense, but he is not a god. If the opponent does not confront him Contact, directly hit our defense, the problem of the weak defense line cannot be covered up by good ones."

Gao Hongbo affirmed the performance of all the players in the locker room, and did not get to the bottom of the responsibility of the central defender for conceding the ball: "Everyone played well in the first half. In the second half, we must continue to walk around Zhou Tiancheng, first control the scene, and pay more. Give Zhou Tiancheng control of the ball, remember, the reason why football is football is to walk close to the ground is the right way. Take the ball more, pass the ball more, and you will have the initiative in the game."

In the past few days, Gao Hongbo has repeatedly emphasized control and ground coordination. In his opinion, even a defensive counterattack is not a one-shot job.This point is slowly correcting the problem of the national team's frequent long pass.Of course, Zhou Tiancheng has such an axis that can hold the ball, so he is sure to transform the national team in this way.

In the second half, the Chinese team obviously increased the speed of passing the ball under the leadership of Zhou Tiancheng. Probably Zhou Tiancheng's performance in the first half really reassured everyone. I began to believe that as long as I ran to the free time, Zhou Tiancheng would definitely see it.

The biggest change after changing sides is that the most distinctive wing attack of the Chinese team in the past was really activated in the second half, especially Hao Junmin, who was very quiet in the first half, opened two one-on-one games in the second half and unceremoniously ate the opponent's side As a defender, the characteristics of the Chinese team's iconic wing breakthrough and cross, and the central header bombing slowly began to play out.

The equalizing goal of the Chinese team in the final stage of the game came from such a cooperation.However, Zhou Tiancheng’s precise kick pass through the two midfielders was the finishing touch before going down the wing. In the end, Hao Junmin made a pass, and Luneng Kongba Han Peng, who replaced Gao Lin, grabbed a spot in front of the goal. , and finally fixed the score at 2:2.

Being able to draw against Iran, the "Gao Family Army" has ushered in a good start. Although Han Peng equalized at the last moment, it is reasonable to say that he should be considered the biggest contributor, but today is different. No one can steal Zhou Tiancheng's attention. The most concerned by the media Only him.

"Zhou Tiancheng, this is the first time he has scored a goal for the national team. Do you have any special feelings?" A CCTV reporter came up and asked a question that is very characteristic of Chinese media.

Zhou Tiancheng replied flatly: "Of course, this may prove that my career in the national team will be as smooth as Schalke 04."

"Can you rate your performance?"

Zhou Tiancheng pursed his lips and thought for a while: "It's barely a pass. The opponent's two goals, if I recovered more deeply and filled up the position more aggressively, it should have been avoided. I can't blame the defender entirely, I am also responsible. "

There was a commotion among the reporters. They didn't expect Zhou Tiancheng to be so critical of him. In their opinion, Zhou Tiancheng was too low-key.

Not to mention the goal and the key offensive launch in the final stage, but his defensive performance is remarkable. Without his many key positions in the midfield, he might have been beaten in the opening 15 minutes up.

In Zhou Tiancheng's eyes, this kind of performance can only be considered a pass?
So what kind of performance is considered good or excellent?

Measured by his standards, what are the debut performances of so many local players?
