Grass roots glory

Chapter 336 Really Strong

This goal established a decisive advantage for Schalke, not only made Klopp's face terribly gloomy when he got up from the coach's bench at halftime, but also stunned Shinji Kagawa.

Kyle didn't follow Zhou Tiancheng just now, and Shinji Kagawa was the only person who could interfere with Zhou Tiancheng at the moment of kicking.Originally, he thought that the distance of one or two meters was not a problem. After Zhou Tiancheng received the ball, he always had to adjust a step before he could shoot comfortably. This time difference was enough for him to block it in place in time.

So Zhou Tiancheng's choice of volleying directly without stopping the ball was beyond Shinji Kagawa's expectations. He caught the ball, picked it up, charged up the volley, and shot the goal. He felt the ball passing by, and his hair was blown up by a strong wind. Shinji Kagawa came back to his senses, and what shocked him was that Zhou Tiancheng's handling of the ball was no slower than him.

Both offensive and defensive ends suffered, Shinji Kagawa stared at Zhou Tiancheng closely, biting his lips lightly.Deep down in his heart, he doesn't regret his decision to come to Europe. He sees his shortcomings, and at the same time, he still feels a little bit discouraged. It seems that he really can't find any breakthroughs in front of Zhou Tiancheng, and he is underwhelmed both offensively and defensively. Damn, it made him very frustrated.In particular, the opponent is not black and hard, nor is it a long-established first-class midfielder, but an Asian player like him.

Shinji Kagawa kept his head down when he left the field, and Duan Xuan tried his best to exaggerate how Shinji Kagawa felt depressed during the half-time match against Zhou Tiancheng in the BJ studio... Domestic commentators always like to add some feelings that fans love to see Elements, the football feud between China and Japan does exist, but this is just an ordinary club competition. Even if Zhou Tiancheng wins, it does not prove that the younger generation of Chinese football is better than Japan. Japanese football has invested in basic projects at the youth training level , at least for now we are still far behind.

And Shinji Kagawa's performance of lowering his head doesn't just prove that he is in a bad mood, of course there must be some.But at the same time, he was also thinking about how to crack Zhou Tiancheng.He can't do anything on the defensive end, but offense is his forte.He found that maybe he should get back to what he should do most as a midfielder, finding space to help his teammates score.

Shinji Kagawa returned to the locker room, waiting for Klopp's instructions, but he didn't expect that the words he waited for would surprise him.

"Kagawa, you can rest for the second half."

When Shinji Kagawa heard this, he became anxious. He felt that his performance must have been too bad, which made Klopp dissatisfied.

"Sir, give me a little more time, I will never do it alone, I have found a way to help the team attack..."

"Kagawa, you have done a good job, but now for the sake of the team, you must come down and rest. This is not a confrontation between you and Zhou Tiancheng." Klopp emphasized to him.

Shinji Kagawa could only obey the team's arrangement and sat down unwillingly.

……

At the beginning of the second half, Klopp replaced Shaheen and Gotze in succession. Gotze replaced Shinji Kagawa, and Shaheen replaced Kyle. This kind of high-intensity game, Klopp simply stopped pursuing the balance of offense and defense, and added a very offensive midfielder behind Gotze, obviously going to put all his eggs in one basket.

After the half-time break, Dortmund seemed to be reborn, and the offensive rhythm was significantly accelerated. Gotze picked the ball lightly and evaded Klug's defense. When the two central defenders of Schalke failed to catch up in time Kick off directly outside the penalty area.

Neuer blocked the ball with a side throw in time, but the terrible thing is that Gotze's kick was very powerful. He dropped the ball and it was too late to make a second reaction. Lewandowski took the lead and pushed in. , Dortmund pulled back a goal in just 1 minute of the second half.

The Dortmund TV commentary immediately shouted: "Robert! Robert Lewandowski! The smell of a good shooter is revealed. Of course, we can't forget Gotze, Super Mario (Götze's nickname), showing the most important moments his worth."

Klopp was excitedly playing combo punches on the sidelines. The goal came in a timely manner. With the remaining half time, he saw the hope of an equalizer or even a reversal.

Zhou Tiancheng specifically asked Klug, "Bill, do you need help?"

Klug shook his head: "No."

Zhou Tiancheng stared into his eyes, confirmed that he was not trying to hold on, patted him on the shoulder, and then greeted his teammates on the field: "Hold on, brothers! The worst is to score one more!"

In the noisy environment, not all players could hear his shouts, but those who heard them gathered a new force in their hearts.

Since Zhou is so confident, he must have a solution, right?
Due to Dortmund's desperate move, Zhou Tiancheng did gain more freedom. Although the midfield defense was weakened, Klopp tried to use the rear central defender to press forward to create a threat, but Zhou Tiancheng increased the transfer to the wing in time. Dortmund The loopholes in the overall forward pressure of the back line are reflected, especially Owomoyela on the right is always restless and wants to get in, so Farfan's breakthrough speed has a lot of room for display.

While Dortmund was still thinking about scoring another goal, the overwhelming shouts on the scene sounded again. Farfan made a pass from the left, but Raul and Huntelaar in the center failed to reach it. The ball went straight to the back and Metzel De followed up to the back point in time. Facing his old club, he also wanted to perform. He volleyed and flew straight to the dead corner, but Weidenfeller reacted quickly and blocked the ball with a single palm.The central defenders of Dortmund all turned around and prepared to clear the siege with their big feet. At this moment, they were all facing their own goal, facing sideways or with their backs to the ball saved by Weidenfeller. Naturally, they reacted a little slower, and it just so happened that Zhou Tiancheng was preparing to come from The back came up to compete for the top, but the ball was too fast, and the ball saved by Weidenfeller fell right behind him.

Without hesitation, Zhou Tiancheng jumped up and flew upside down. The moment he swung his legs, he looked upside down at Weidenfeller's direction, and then shot towards the goal in the opposite direction.

The moment Zhou Tiancheng touched the ball, he felt very good, while Weidenfeller's eyes widened, his body didn't react at all, and he just stared blankly at the ball flying into his goal on the other side.Now even if he wanted to make another move, it was too late.

On the Dortmund side bench, everyone was taken aback by Zhou Tiancheng's barb counterattack after just one minute. Only Shinji Kagawa, after experiencing ups and downs of mood, showed a wry smile.

I was just watching from the sidelines, and my heart was very nervous, let alone making such a strong counterattack.

But Zhou Tiancheng can do it.

Didn't Uchida say that he was the European Golden Boy last year, and he should be about the same age as himself.

But it's really strong!

Shinji Kagawa watched from the sidelines, and it was even more clear to the bystanders. At least such a creative blow, he compared himself, and had to admit that he couldn't hit it under heavy pressure.
