Grass roots glory

Chapter 253 Looking ahead to the top eight
Central defender Ignashevich had no other choice but to approach Zhou Tiancheng quickly. He was already the last line of defense in front of the goalkeeper, and he had to kill this threat no matter what.

He thought so, so when he rushed towards Zhou Tiancheng, he used both hands and feet—seeing Zhou Tiancheng's size, he was worried that he couldn't completely stop Zhou Tiancheng, so he didn't care that the movement itself was really not very good-looking.

The eyes of the fans of the home team are staring at these two people on the field. The loyal "Red Army" has great confidence in Ignashevich. The army is the absolute core of defense, and frontal defense is his strength.

But in the next second, even Ignashevich himself was surprised to find that Zhou Tiancheng did not choose to fight him one-on-one, but calmly pushed the ball to the left.

He immediately realized that something was wrong, and forcibly kicked the ground to stop the movement of his slider, while keeping his eyes on the ball.

At this moment, there was only so much he could do.

Zhou Tiancheng just pushed the ball horizontally between the two central defenders, and a blue figure quickly broke out from the opponent's defense line and directly inserted into the penalty area.

"Be careful! Vasily." Ignashevich reminded his central defender partner Berezutsky in horror.

But it was too late, Zhou Tiancheng's pass gave enough lead, Jiang Hao's speed could catch up, but Berezutsky couldn't keep up with Jiang Hao's speed.

The defense line of the two Russian international central defenders was completely torn apart by a counterattack.

Marcel Leff finally found a chance to vent his passion.

"Zhou! He chose to pass the ball, oops, there is no one in this direction...Ahhh! Jiang caught up, speed! Speed! He rushed like no one! Facing Akinfeev! Shoot! Shoot...Huh? He passed Akinfeev, ha, shoot!"

"GOOOOOAL!!!!"

So far today, there are not many chances, so Jiang Hao faced a one-handed game. In order to be safe, he directly accelerated and passed Akinfeev, and pushed the ball steadily into the empty goal.

The broadcast signal stayed at Jiang Hao for half a minute, and then it was sent to the stands. The banner "Germans will not win any victories in Moscow" is still there, and it was held up high by the fans even harder, showing Their belief in the victory of the home team, but at this moment it seems a bit ironic.

The connection between the two Chinese players brought the Germans closer and closer to victory.

The enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene was like being forced to press the pause button, and the next second filled the entire stadium with deafening boos. The boos from the "Red Army" stands were all for Jiang Hao. After all, among these diehard fans It seems that Jiang Hao is the culprit that caused them to lose their advantage, and their own players will not make mistakes.

In other camps, the boos were mixed with dissatisfaction with the home team's defense.The central defender combination of the national team and the No. [-] national team cannot prevent the connection between the two players, and they have been clean. No matter how you look at it, it is unreasonable.

Slutsky, who was still celebrating wildly just now, is now incarnation of the roaring emperor, standing on the sidelines and yelling at the two central defenders with his mouth wide open, his hands still shaking his fists.Russians don't know what concealment is, and they will express what they think in their hearts very directly.

As a coach, such a character is a double-edged sword. Slutsky used his passion to transform the team into a more aggressive one, but now showing this negative emotion will put more pressure on the players on the field.Many coaches with character regard Mourinho as a model, but there are very few coaches with his charisma.Otherwise, it is impossible for the madman to be unique in football.

Liukov, a commentator on Russian State TV, became a little anxious: "The situation is starting to get worse, the Germans have an away goal, and now they need to attack! Attack! CSKA must show greater courage. Fight, there is no draw! "

But you can never expect the strong to make a second mistake. Schalke 04 took a breath and would not give the opponent such a chance.

At this time, Magath called Zhou Tiancheng to the sidelines. He was not very satisfied with the team's offense: "The offense should be simpler, Zhou, this is not a game suitable for possession of the ball, and they are not worth our time."

"Boss, do you want to play a half-court long pass?"

Magath replied: "It's up to you to decide, in short, try to threaten the goal as much as possible."

At this time, the snow in the sky seems to be a little lighter, and there is no sign of clearing up soon, which means that the snow on the field will not turn into water in a short time. Schalke 04 has gradually adapted to such conditions. Zhou Tiancheng just now Advance with the ball is the signal, he is the vane of Schalke's attack, he chooses to plug in decisively, Schalke's formation will press forward as a whole, squeezing the opponent's formation.

The central axis of CSKA Moscow became disjointed in the second half. The distance between Keisuke Honda and Dunbia was too long and was completely cut off by the Schalke defense line raised up. Zagoyev, who was very active before, is now also His enthusiasm can only be seen on the defensive end.

Schalke 04's offensive routine is not delicate compared to the past, but like a surging tide, Zhou Tiancheng has long pass skills, the wingers on both sides and Jiang Hao in front have speed, and they gave up the ball Quan's obsession, in fact, the simple and direct quick counterattack is more familiar, this is the traditional routine of Schalke 04.

And after the blow of the lost ball, CSKA Moscow's midfielders became a little timid, wanting to defend close to the body, but worried that they would not be able to defend themselves and dig holes for the teammates behind them, so when Zhou Tiancheng dribbled the ball forward, the center The choice of the army players is to fight and retreat close to teammates, gradually narrowing the encirclement.

From the general principle of defense, this choice is no problem.But this choice of the opponent gave Zhou Tiancheng the opportunity to calmly observe the situation on the field. He never just rushed forward with the ball, while CSKA Moscow's defense line as a whole approached him, revealing a large open area behind him.

Zhou Tiancheng did the same, throwing the pass over the top as before. This time Jiang Hao was in an offside position, so he had no choice but to turn back, but this time he turned around and found that the ball did not slow down in front of him, but was still moving forward.

Zhou Tiancheng's target was not him, but in Asamoah.Seeing Zhou Tiancheng's hand gesture, the latter deliberately pressed the start for half a second, and overtook strongly under the double-team of the opponent's two players, not offside at all...Driving the ball all the way, facing the attacking Akinfeev, easily pushed Score.

"Gerald Asamoah!! GOOOOOOAL!!!" Marcel Leff roared loudly, and he took a breath until the wave of passion was released, and then said: "Schalke who has awakened, completely It's not something the Russian team can stop!"

"In 7 minutes, Schalke 04 reversed the score in just 7 minutes. With their momentum, even if they encounter those favorites to win the championship next time, it cannot be said that Schalke has no chance of winning at all."

Duan Xuan was not so excited, but his words were full of confidence.With less than 45 minutes to go between the two legs, the quarter-finals to follow have already begun to be seen.
