Chapter 325 Dissatisfaction
Knowing the special features of this stadium, Zhou Tiancheng conveyed his beliefs to everyone in the locker room before the game.

"Brothers, Nicholas just told me that this stadium was built by the king and prince of Monaco, which means that we are now stepping on the king's soil, so even if it is a gift to the king, we have to show what we should have in this game. Do you understand, we have to take the initiative! Although they were the kings of the Europa League last year, there is only one king in European football, and that is us. They were defeated by us in the previous two seasons. Believe in fate, but I believe in luck, it is God's will to meet us... Oh yes, according to what you said, it is God. They don't want to escape God's arrangement today."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and all the newly joined players looked down at the Schalke jerseys under their coats. Originally, their special feeling for this game was only because of the European Super Cup itself, but now many people began to feel that Now that you have put on the Schalke jersey, you should continue to maintain the victories left by your predecessors.

In the dressing room of Atletico Madrid, the head coach Flores said passionately: "The Champions League champion is nothing special. There are countless examples of the Europa League champion defeating the Champions League champion in the history of the Super Cup. Guys, put the previous two seasons against each other. Put it all down, whether you have experienced it or not, we have to face this game with all our strength. This is our first game, to prove to everyone that Atletico Madrid is stronger, and you can do it!"

……

When the two sides walked into the Louis II Stadium, the live broadcast camera quickly scanned the newly joined players of the two teams. Marcel Leif said: "Familiar opponents, but the current Atletico Madrid deserves Schalke's vigilance. ...Diego Costa and Juventus midfielder Thiago are a huge threat, and the mistakes we made against Hamburg must not be repeated."

Atletico Madrid is indeed based on defensive counterattack today. Florence has put on a 4-4-2 formation. The core requirement is to complete a quick transition between offense and defense. Godin and striker Diego Costa have high hopes.Godin won the World Cup No.4 in the past World Cup. His strong frontal defense ability is an important reason why Flores likes him, and his turning speed on the back line is not slow at all. This is why he has played for many years than before Pablo Ibanez has more advantages.

And Diego Costa is officially back. In 2007, he moved from Braga in the Portuguese Super League to Atletico Madrid. However, at that time he could not get a playing position in the team, so he has been rented out, and he has been transferred to West Second Division. Team Celta and Albacete still did not perform well.Atletico Madrid had no patience for the official transfer to Valladolid last season.However, Costa came to the state just last season, scoring 36 goals in [-] appearances, and frequently showed his power at the critical moment of relegation. His performance won him the chance to return to his old club.

Flores put him in the starting line-up today because he also wanted him to play the role of a tactical surprise soldier. He knew that there were not many opportunities today, so he needed to use his impact force to forcibly chip away at Schalke's not-so-solid rear. Defend.

However, Schalke quickly entered the state and controlled the scene at the beginning of the game. Against Atletico Madrid, Schalke does have a psychological advantage. Although there are many new players on the field, the overall offensive rhythm is very fast driven by the old players. In the opening 4 minutes, Jurado shot a long shot from outside the penalty area to the ground. Goalkeeper De Gea quickly reached out and touched the bottom line with his fingertips.

"De Gea! Oh, beautiful, perfect reaction speed!" The Madrid TV commentator praised the goalkeeper produced by Atletico Madrid.Produced by Atletico Madrid's youth training, not only high-yield strikers, but also excellent goalkeepers one after another.

Zhou Tiancheng walked over and gave Jurado a high-five with a smile: "Well done, Jose!"

Jurado shook his body excitedly: "Be optimistic about Zhou, I will definitely score today!"

Most players are always full of energy when facing their old clubs. Although Jurado and Atletico Madrid have no conflicts, and the transfer to Schalke, the two sides also get together and part ways, but this does not prevent him from experiencing The feeling of breaking the goal of the old club.It's also nice to be able to put on a show in front of your former teammates.

Although his wish was good, Schalke's goal to break the deadlock had nothing to do with him, but from Raul. After Zhou Tiancheng made a series of dribbles to attract the back line, the opponent's penalty area was exposed. Raul received a through pass from Zhou Tiancheng, used the change of rhythm to shake away central defender Luis Perea, and hit a single-handed shot from a close angle.

Gaining a one-goal lead, Zhou Tiancheng glanced to the sidelines at this time and saw the assistant coach Hollerbach beckoning at him with a loud voice, and immediately walked towards the bench, Magath told him: "Open up the space , Zhou, don't all crowd in the midfield, play to the wing, let the two wingers charge up, and everyone presses up, take advantage of this time to increase the pressure, we have to score one more, you understand? A one-goal lead is not safe."

Zhou Tiancheng poured a sip of water into his mouth and nodded slightly.Back on the field, he walked up to Hao Junmin and reminded: "Brother Hao, get ready, the devil said that we are going to strengthen the side attack."

Hao Junmin was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Understood, I have been waiting for a long time,"

He watched Zhou Tiancheng return to the middle circle after reminding him, instead of going to the other side to remind Farfan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Old Zhou, that's really interesting!"
Although Zhou Tiancheng understands that the game should be based on the interests of the team, it does not mean that he has no inclination. When both sides have equal opportunities, he must give priority to taking care of Hao Junmin to get more opportunities to get the ball.Even in terms of tactics and strategy, there is nothing wrong with such a choice-Farfan was the main member of the championship last season, and he will be studied by Atletico Madrid without accident, but Hao Junmin is not a key figure in the opponent's eyes. The core responsibility of the midfielder is not to let the team's offense fall into a dead end.

Hao Junmin received the ball from the right and faced the left back Felipe one-on-one. The ball is blocked.

It was not a big deal for the winger to fail to break through and lose the ball, but Atsuto Uchida rushed in when Hao Junmin was not sure to control the ball at all, and he rashly wanted to counterattack after Felipe stole the ball. He took a step, and Felipe changed direction directly to complete the escape, and the entire right-side defense instantly became a vacuum.

"Oh my god, it's dangerous! Felipe Luis, his speed is sharper than that of a winger. His worth of 200 million euros is almost reflected in his ability to put in assists. Atsuto Uchida made a mistake that a full-back should not make. mistake."

Seeing this, Zhou Tiancheng rushed back to the edge of the penalty area and blocked Felipe's key pass to the center of the penalty area. At this time, the opponent had formed a three-point outflank in the penalty area, and Schalke only had two central defenders in place in time. , almost causing irreversible results.

Watching Uchida Atsuto walk back slowly, Zhou Tiancheng suppressed his anger, walked in front of him, and reminded him as gently as possible: "Pay attention to the position behind you, Uchida, just now you saw how dangerous it was, almost!"

Uchida Atsuto raised his head and looked at Zhou Tiancheng. Zhou Tiancheng thought he was going to admit his mistake, but he said suddenly: "It's not that you said we're going to attack. Is there something wrong with my team's tactics?"

Zhou Tiancheng's face darkened suddenly, it was your fault in the first place, it's fine if you don't argue with you, but you are still full of opinions?
