Chapter 317 The New Arrival

Schalke completely changed his old look. Zhou Tiancheng opened the door and walked into the locker room. At a glance, he saw almost half of the unfamiliar faces.It was a bit of a headache for him, and it was almost like arriving on a new team—he wasn't worried about his status, but re-establishing a tacit understanding with nearly half of his new teammates was not easy.

Several people were chatting enthusiastically with Raul, when they heard the noise, they all raised their heads to meet Zhou Tiancheng's eyes.

"Brother Cheng!"

"Old Zhou."

Jiang Hao and Hao Junmin took the initiative to greet Zhou Tiancheng.The two quickly walked over to Zhou Tiancheng and said, "Thank you, Lao Zhou."

Zhou Tiancheng was at a loss.

The two looked at each other, Hao Junmin explained: "Thanks to you, I made a small fortune during the World Cup."

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned, and he chuckled: "It's stupid. Luck, it's not worth mentioning."

The two pursed their mouths and made him pretend to be a jerk again.

"Zhou, you are late today." Raul also said with a smile.

"I just went to the club building. I should be earlier than you. Besides, hasn't the boss come yet?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Tiancheng carefully, and everyone was a little puzzled: Didn't Raul just come here? Although their first impression was that this world-renowned football superstar was easy to get along with, it shouldn't behave like this, right? It looks very familiar.

After winning the championship last season, Zhou Tiancheng's reputation is well-known throughout Europe. No one here thinks that Zhou Tiancheng's reputation is in vain, but everyone is more interested.Judging from Raul's reaction, it seems that they can chat with him very well.Are heroes sympathetic to each other?So how strong is he?

There are only a handful of newly joined players who have dealt with Zhou Tian, ​​such as Jurado who previously played for Atletico Madrid.Atletico Madrid have been swept out by Schalke in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons.Only his eyes were full of rejoicing, from an opponent to a teammate, he no longer had to face such a guy with abnormal midfield ability.

But the others didn't understand Zhou Tiancheng's ability, they were all staring at Zhou Tiancheng and pondering.

Feeling the eyes looking at him, Zhou Tiancheng was very embarrassed, coughed lightly, and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am Zhou Tiancheng. Everyone came to Schalke, and we will be brothers in the future. I hope we can cooperate happily .”

After Zhou Tiancheng finished speaking, he went to his locker to change, but he didn't notice that many new players behind him were whispering to each other.

Höwedes blinked meaningfully. He remembered that Zhou Tiancheng introduced himself in front of everyone when he just joined the U19. Although he was not formal, he still seemed a little nervous. Anyway, it must be completely different from the current aura.Every sentence is as if the host is welcoming the new guests, and at first glance, it looks like the boss of the team.

Raul stood up and smiled: "Come on, Zhou. There are a few people here that I am familiar with, let's all get to know each other well."

Metzelder, like Raul, came from Real Madrid.Including Jurado, who also played in the Real Madrid B team for several seasons before going to Atletico Madrid. In the 2005-06 season, he was promoted to the first team and was teammates with Raul. When Raul introduced Zhou Tiancheng to the two, he specifically said One sentence: "Cooperate well with Zhou, you won't regret it."

Everyone's eyes are more interesting.Have the two already practiced?

When everyone was hesitating, they heard Magath's voice from a distance, and Zhou Tiancheng said to everyone: "The boss is here, everyone, cheer up, we all call Magath the 'devil' in private, please don't Let him catch you in a bad state of mind, or you will suffer on the training ground, a hundred push-ups."

Many new team members shuddered and sat up straight, for fear of being caught on the first day.

Magath's voice came from far to near, and he could clearly hear his voice: "Be confident, you should be able to cooperate happily..."

Magath saw everyone's state and knew that they did it for himself on purpose. These young people in their twenties, don't expect them to be so well-behaved, but Magath was still very satisfied with everyone's attitude. At the door, he took the initiative to step forward and let the person next to him into the locker room.

A short Asian face appeared in front of everyone, everyone's eyes were strange, and they went back and forth between Zhou Tiancheng, Jiang Hao and Hao Junmin, another Chinese?

Is the club contracted by the Chinese?
But the three of Zhou Tiancheng were no less surprised than the others. Where did someone who was not selected for the national team but qualified to play in the first team of Schalke appear?Moreover, the visual height is less than 1.8 meters. Compared with Hao Junmin's body shape when he first came, he has no advantage, and he does not have an advantage in any position.

The two had eye contact with Hao Junmin, and Hao Junmin was sure that he had never seen him in China.

Magath walked in and said: "Attention, boys, this is our new teammate from Japan, Uchida, let's meet everyone."

Zhou Tiancheng thought that another compatriot had come, and was about to stand up to say hello, but before he stood up, he leaned on the bench leisurely after hearing Magath's words.

Japanese, then there is no such treatment.

But he didn't expect that this person didn't introduce himself in front of everyone first, but glanced across the audience, saw Zhou Tiancheng, and walked towards him directly.

"Excuse me, is this Zhou Sang? I've heard of you for a long time, and I'm in Shimoda, please take care of me."

[Author's Note: "Sang" is a homophonic usage in Japanese Sinicization. 】

Uchida Toruto bowed deeply to Zhou Tiancheng, Hao Junmin watched from the sidelines with a suppressed smile, it seems that some plots of domestic anti-Japanese dramas were not made up, they nodded and bowed every now and then, just like their ancestors.

Zhou Tiancheng responded lightly: "I don't understand Japanese."

Atsuto Uchida expressed embarrassment and switched to English to communicate with Zhou Tiancheng. Zhou Tiancheng continued to respond: "I am not very familiar with English."

The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit awkward. The old players who were familiar with Zhou Tiancheng were very strange. Zhou was usually very talkative, but his behavior was a bit strange now.

Atsuto Uchida could only repeat it for the third time in obviously blunt German, and then Zhou Tiancheng stood up and shook hands with him lightly: "It's not about caring, we are all teammates, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Atsuto Uchida obviously felt that Zhou Tiancheng's attitude towards him was lukewarm. Thinking of what Magath said just now that he and Zhou Tiancheng could work together happily, Atsuto Uchida felt that this challenge was formidable.

Neuer approached him and asked quietly, "Zhou, do you have any grudge against him?"

"No, it's just that I don't like Japanese players."

"Why? Zhou, your definition is too big. You beat everyone to death with a stick. What's the reason?"

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head: "You can't say it."

In fact, the reason why he doesn't like Japanese players has nothing to do with historical and political factors.He doesn't like it purely in the field of football.Although Japanese football represents the top level of comprehensive strength in Asia, when it comes to Japanese football in China, it is always with a look up, but when Zhou Tiancheng thinks of Japanese football, he thinks of how they stole the 2004 Asian Cup from Gongti. Champion's.He was there to witness this scene.

Although he now understands that all accidents on the court may happen, he still can't let go of the thought that the Chinese team was hacked at home in this way and is the closest to the top of Asia.

He despises such behavior of stealing, rape, and playing tricks, so now he will not be very enthusiastic when facing Atsuto Uchida.Although he could see that Uchida Atsuto was upset, Zhou Tiancheng would not take care of his emotions.
