Grass roots glory

Chapter 276 Dream Start
"Ah Cheng, the establishment of the club is a happy event after all. Have you decided who to invite to participate?" Chu Yunling reminded.

Zhou Tiancheng thought for a while: "I'll ask the team. It would be best if they all come. For the rest, you can watch the notification."

"Will it be too much?"

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head: "This is not my personal business. The club has just started, and it is necessary to gain popularity, otherwise it will become a self-examination for us."

"Aren't hundreds of people enough? How many people do you want to expand?"

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "I promised Lao Yang to inject 50 euros into the club every year. I am not satisfied with these dozens of people playing behind closed doors. Although I personally don't like high-profile, some things have to be high-profile."

Zhou Tiancheng told Westerman about this, originally wanting him to spread a message for him in private, and ask how many people would be willing to join him, but in less than half a day, everyone knew about it.

Magath originally put a lot of weight on the team when the Champions League was approaching. He originally estimated that some people might not be able to persist, such as Bordon with poor physical fitness and Ruud van Nistelrooy who is too old.But in the afternoon training, he found that everyone in the team was full of energy and seemed to have inexhaustible physical energy.

Although Magath was very puzzled, he didn't know that Westerman had reached an agreement with everyone when he spread the message. In order to cut the ribbon for Zhou Tiancheng's club, everyone worked hard to win the beautiful... He was naturally against the ball. The current state of the team is very satisfactory.The league defeated Leverkusen easily on the weekend. Magath reduced the team's weight before the battle and passed the rapid physical reserve period. The priority now is to ensure that the players remain healthy.

……

Bayern was eliminated in the German Cup, and all the media were waiting to see the big show. The German Cup can only be regarded as an appetizer, and the Champions League is the championship that Bayern must compete for.

What's more interesting is that in April, the two sides will meet one after another on the schedule. On April [-], the two sides will play the first round of the Champions League, and two days later in the league, the battle of Tianwangshan will be staged.

Naturally, Van Gaal paid more attention to the second match of the Champions League, so he even brought only a part of the main players back to Munich for the league match against Stuttgart on the weekend, while the core players like Robben, Ribery and Klose stayed in Gelsen Kichen, anyway, they will come back after this round of the league.Van Gaal did this to reduce the fatigue of the old players, which is understandable.But in the eyes of the media, this sends out some strong signals.Opinions vary.

Judging from the weekend's league matches, Bayern was not affected by the defeat in the German Cup. They reversed Stuttgart 2:1 at home and continued to chase Schalke.The fans of Bayern became active again. Without the main force, they still won the fifth-ranked team in the standings, which gave them confidence again.

Van Gaal was asked about the strategy of this game at the pre-match press conference. This is also what the media is very concerned about. He just lost a week ago and faced the same opponent a week later. What will happen?

And Van Gaal is very sensitive. He has a kind of opinion that reporters always have malicious intentions. In his opinion, this question is alluding to his defeat in the German Cup and losing his first championship of the season, which led to him being dismissed by the club after the game. General Manager Hoeness invited him to the office for a chat. Of course Van Gaal knew that this was a mild warning.Originally, the pressure was high, and the media still came and did not open the pot, which naturally made him very upset, so he said in a somewhat tough tone: "Of course it is an offense. Facing a Bundesliga team, when did Bayern ever have the second kind?" choose?"

Many people, including the German TV reporter whom he yelled at, wrinkled their expressions, not knowing how this question touched Van Gaal's nerves.

"Hey, it would be better for Bayern to invite Van Gaal than to keep Heynckes. With his personality, I don't believe there is no contradiction in the dressing room. No wonder Bayern is so passive in the championship. Look at how harmonious the atmosphere is at Schalke. "

In the Schalke locker room, when UEFA's game supervisor came to remind everyone to prepare to play, Westermann called everyone together: "Everyone work hard, don't forget our goal, don't worry about it. Just to win the score!"

……

"Hey! It was really dangerous just now. Westerman's pass from the backcourt was blocked. Fortunately, Neuer reacted quickly."

At the beginning, Bayern showed their winning momentum. When they entered the stadium, the Champions League theme song reminded them that this was a contest leading to the Champions League final. Whether it was for the so-called dignity of the rich or their highest goal this season, they all Consecutive losses on the same pitch are unacceptable.

Schalke this season is different from last season, with strong stamina but a slow start. Bayern originally wanted to take this opportunity to find opportunities through strong pressure.In such a level of confrontation, the home team that is not dominant is often affected by various aspects, and it is not easy to quickly enter the state.

The attack just ended, and the Bayern players were watching Neuer's serve, wanting to make another high-post press to steal the ball in the frontcourt.Nobody noticed Ruud van Nistelrooy up front.

However, Neuer's excellent vision of the whole field caught Ruud's intention in an instant, and he directly kicked the big foot. into the restricted area.The whole movement is as flawless as a high-precision instrument.

"Van Nistelrooy, what an opportunity - one-handed!"

Bout struck out quickly, shoveling as Ruud made his next move, but Ruud was going to go straight past him, so he dribbled the ball directly to his side, and Bout's hasty kick just brought him down. .

Hearing the boos from the audience, Bout knew something was wrong, so he quickly raised his hand and ran towards the referee, complaining that he was unintentional.However, the Italian referee Rizzoli blew his long whistle and pointed to the restricted area twelve yards.

The boos immediately turned into cheers.

"Penalty kick! Hahaha, Bout still can't cope with such a big scene, and gave Schalke a huge opportunity at the beginning!"

Zhou Tiancheng was the first penalty kicker for Schalke, but this time he did not walk to the penalty spot, but pulled Van Nistelrooy over: "You take the ball, Ruud van Nistelrooy."

Ruud was taken aback: "You are the first shooter, Zhou."

"That's a normal situation. I didn't contribute to this penalty. It's all your credit. You don't get paid for nothing. I can't take your credit, unless you are very nervous now."

Zhou Tiancheng doesn't need to swipe his data anymore, he will give up some opportunities that should be given up.After all, Van Nistelrooy is an old player, and he played one game less.

"Haha, Zhou, then I won't be polite."

Fan Ni is not hypocritical, although he knows that Zhou Tiancheng wants to give him this opportunity.

Facing Bute, Ruud van Nistelrooy volleyed vigorously from the top corner to give the team the lead, and the game time on the screen had just passed 3 minutes.

Dream start!
