Chapter 316 Upgraded Big Killer: Ready to Come Out
Schalke's holiday collection time is August [-]th, and Magath has come to the team a week in advance. Before the new season, his task is quite heavy. The team's lineup has changed a lot. The newly joined players integrated into his tactical system and challenged Magath.

Although the team's lineup has changed a lot, Magath still insists on building a mature formation framework.His style, like most German coaches, requires players to actively adapt to the overall tactical system without breaking the original framework due to lineup changes.Even if there are big-name players joining, it will not change. The maximum requirement of tactical execution is the real core competitiveness of Schalke's success last season.

However, Magath walked across the training ground and saw a figure who had come earlier than himself and was practicing on the court.He was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards that direction, just in time to see Zhou Tiancheng crossing the goal with three half-person-high wooden boards, and a ball was hung on the crossbar of the goal with a thin thread, and at the same time He himself stood about 30 meters away from the goal.

When Magath saw this scene, he couldn't help but stop. He saw Zhou Tiancheng backed up, kicked up, the ball circled the board with an arc, and accurately hit the thin line at the dead corner of the goal. The hanging ball and his shot The football lands together in the goal.

Magath applauded and walked over: "Zhou, it seems that he is in good condition... well, his body is in good condition, and he didn't feel fat during the holidays."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled bitterly, he didn't want to eat wine, fish and meat on the beach?This life is so enjoyable, but who let him have so much? There are always so many things that are more difficult than training and competitions during the holidays. Now he really feels that there is no benefit to being famous, and he even has less time to enjoy life with his girlfriend. Pitiful.

Magath looked at it and nodded lightly: "Zhou, keep it up. The team needs your form. We have changed a lot of people this season. Before the team matures, you may need to decide the game more."

……

These days Zhou Tiancheng came to the training base every day. Except for the reporters, he often saw many new faces. When he saw the familiar face in the locker room, he couldn't believe it.

"You are Raul?"

Zhou Tiancheng has entered the rhythm of preparing for the season, and he hardly pays attention to real-time news, and now he can hide from the media, so he has no idea that Schalke has signed Raul, let alone this already famous player. The "Lord of the Rings" all over the world came earlier than him, and judging by his posture, even if he didn't have a training suit, he was ready to start training immediately.

Raul was tying his shoelaces, and raised his head when he heard the shout. Zhou Tiancheng was about to introduce himself, but Raul had already stood up and offered his hand: "Zhou, I am very happy to be your teammate."

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "I'm also very happy, I really didn't expect you to choose this place."

Raul's eyes narrowed slightly, and his attitude was very frank: "I know I'm old, and I have seriously considered choosing this place. I think I can score more goals with you. It was also the Champions League final last season. , let me make up my mind to choose here.”

Zhou Tiancheng snapped his fingers. Although this was the first time he met Raul, Zhou Tiancheng didn't feel any arrogance from the other party. Raul's ambition allowed the two to find more common language: "You must not I will regret this choice, and this season we will definitely go to the Champions League final."

Raul shook his head: "Zhou, you are wrong about this. I don't lack the Champions League champions. I just want to play for myself now. I just need a place where I can keep scoring goals. After seeing your performance at the Bernabeu, I think it suits me here, you know what's the best thing for a striker?"

Zhou Tiancheng thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"Have a midfielder like you give the pass!"

……

In the next few days, Zhou Tiancheng's extra training was neither boring nor boring, and the news that Raul took the initiative to train at the training base of his new club also attracted more and more reporters to the training base, whether it was Zhou Tiancheng or Raul , can cause hot topics in Gelsenkirchen.And the two began to practice together before the whole team concentrated, which made the media, large and small, very interested in what kind of chemical reaction the two would have.Magath also stood in front of the office window facing the training ground, looking forward to the effect of the two people's additional training.

Zhou Tiancheng has watched Raul play football. His specialty is sprint speed and awareness in the penalty area. He is a typical technical striker and does not belong to the type of air fighter.So he aimed at Raul's feet and gave a sufficient amount of advance.

But what he didn't expect was that Raul just watched the ball roll out of the bottom line and didn't chase after it. Zhou Tiancheng was about to walk over to communicate with him. Raul turned around and spread his hands with a wry smile: "Zhou, can you please?" Can you pass more accurately? I could catch a pass of this strength ten years ago, can you take care of the elderly now?"

Zhou Tiancheng smiled and raised his hand to signal: "Come again."

In the joint training of the two, Zhou Tiancheng is basically following Raul's current habits. Raul has rich experience on the field. Now he mainly relies on experience to play football. It is rare to rely on personal ability to make a final decision. In the forward line Taking the ball often requires the midfielder behind him to run continuously.And this happened to be what Zhou Tiancheng liked.After a day or two of running-in between the two, the cooperation in training has become very proficient. Zhou Tiancheng can accurately receive Raul's heel back pass, and then pick a pass over the top. Raul in the penalty area can easily grab a point and complete it. goal.

The reporters watching from the sidelines couldn't help applauding.

"The cooperation between Zhou and Raul can be seen a sense of unfamiliarity in the first two days, but in just a few days, they are already so proficient. Players with high IQ are really different."

"This kind of running-in progress, I don't think Huntelaar is needed at all. There are two forwards, Raul and Jiang, one old and one new. This year's championship is gone again."

"No no, Huntelaar is still good. Schalke will definitely defend the Triple Crown in the new season. Four strikers with similar strength are the basic configuration."

"If Huntelaar can also run in to this level, I'm really looking forward to it!"

"The cooperation between Zhou and Raul is really charming. To be honest, although Jiang's speed makes my blood boil, I still prefer this kind of cooperation with my feet, which reflects the artistic sense of football! Raul's body shape is similar to that of Jiang. But his cooperation with Zhou is an upgraded version of Zhou and Jiang."

"It makes sense. From this point of view, Jiang's position may not be guaranteed. Does Magath have the courage to let Raul sit on the bench?"

The Chinese reporters present watched it with great interest, but their interest dropped by more than half when they listened to the conversations of their peers next to them.

They are happy to have a star like Raul come to be teammates with Zhou Tiancheng.But if it affects the status of Chinese players in the team, then there are two things to say.

PS: The pace of this area should be a little slower. After all, Schalke's signings were really big that year, and some places need to be explained clearly.

I hope everyone will not be too watery~ hold on!
