Grass roots glory

Chapter 37
Elgort was also shocked.

He also didn't expect that Zhou Tiancheng would be able to overwhelm his captain Hewedes one-on-one. More than half of his attention was following Zhou Tiancheng. He naturally knew that Zhou Tiancheng hadn't done anything before Hewedes took off. The movement predicted in advance meant that Zhou Tiancheng suppressed Hewedes completely by relying on his own waist and abdomen strength.

Although Elgort's expression didn't change, he was very happy in his heart.

Top notch fitness!Elgort said to himself.

This scene also shocked Schalke 04's youth training director Lunett, who just came to pay attention to the U19 training today.In Schalke 04, players in the U19 echelon are very important. The reason is simple. The U23 echelon of the Bundesliga team basically belongs to the role of soy sauce. The real promotion of young players is from U19 to the first team.Especially for Schalke 04, they regard internal potential tapping as the primary source of fresh blood for the first team. The growth of young players is related to the future of the first team, so the daily training of U19 requires the personal care of Lunett, the youth training director.

Of course, Runet knew that Schalke U19 had this warm-up match, so he came to see it, and saw the scene where Zhou Tiancheng beat Hewedes.

Lunet opened his mouth slightly, obviously a little shocked, and after a while, he talked softly with the scouting director Casanueva next to him: "Odinson, is he the young man you and Norbert advocated to recruit?"

Casanueva naturally knew that he was referring to Zhou Tiancheng, and nodded in response: "Yes, sir."

"Well, physical fitness can pass the test, and it can actually suppress Benedict... But, ah, if he can't show other highlights, even if you and Norbert jointly recommend him, I don't advocate bringing him in. After all, you Be clear about our training model."

Casanueva reminded in a gentle tone: "Sir, you should have seen that video file, right?"

Thinking of the video he brought back, Lunet immediately turned his head to look at Casanueva, with a dazed look in his eyes. Be confident.

……

Although Zhou Tiancheng's strong performance at the beginning gave Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences some encouragement.But in the face of the huge gap in absolute strength, the effect of boosting morale can be ignored.

In this game, the two sides agreed to only play 10 minutes in the half, but even if the standard time was reduced, at the end of the first half, the score board showed a result of 0:4.

Schalke U19 led 4:0 at halftime, averaging 10 goal in [-] minutes.

Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences is regarded as the top level of the amateur team, but compared with the professional echelon, it still shows a gap of two dimensions.

Zhou Tiancheng was not responsible for the four conceded goals. He was forced to expand the defensive area to cover the players who were on the ball. As a result, the full-backs did not cover in time and the winger was cut inside by the opponent. Grab a favorable position.

On the contrary, if it wasn't for Zhou Tiancheng's several key clearances in front of the goal, the half-time gap is estimated to be at least six goals and go up.

But as the captain, even though it wasn't his responsibility, Zhou Tiancheng also felt very uncomfortable. He had never played such a humiliated game with no power to fight back.

It is one thing to be able to clearly understand the gap between the two sides, but with such a dazzling score, as long as there is a sense of team honor, no one can maintain absolute rationality.

"MD, how do you play this game, you can't even catch the ball. According to this situation, the whole audience can't play an 8:0 rhythm!"

During the intermission, Jiang Hao couldn't help but complain.He is really angry today, basically in a state of stealth, because he has no chance to get the ball, and even the half-court sprint, which he is best at, is difficult to run without space.

It's just that it's obviously ill-considered to complain like this at this time. The other people felt the same as him. Hearing Jiang Hao's ignorance of current affairs added fuel to the fire, they all frowned and looked at him with very dissatisfied eyes.

"Can't say a few words less! If you don't complain a few words, you will die!"

Jiang Hao said that the game was 8:0. This sentence stimulated Ming Tao. He felt very humiliated when the goal was pierced four times in the half, and he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

Zhou Tiancheng immediately stood up to calm the two of them: "Okay, stop arguing! If you don't want to lose more, just hold back your complaints and try to score one in the second half. Come here, you can't lose too much!" Ugly."

Coach Feibitz didn't say too much. The gap in strength is too big, which cannot be made up by tactical design. In this game, he didn't have any requirements for everyone.

While Zhou Tiancheng and the others were drinking water and chatting, the two head coaches got together again.

"Albert, if he played like this in the second half, won't his confidence really collapse? How about I stop it?"

Coach Feibitz chuckled, looked in Zhou Tiancheng's direction, and pouted, "Look for yourself."

Zhou Tiancheng was chatting with everyone using various gestures, talking non-stop, while Jiang Hao, Ming Tao or other players just nodded frequently at this time, and it seemed that Zhou Tiancheng's words were recognized.The key point is that from this detail, not only did Zhou Tiancheng's mentality not collapse, but he was more sober than others.

Elgort looked at it with great interest for a few seconds, and his expression of admiration for Zhou Tiancheng deepened: "Winning is not arrogant, losing is not discouraged, and he can guide his teammates in a difficult situation. Hehe, I like him more and more!"

Runet may not have observed Zhou Tiancheng's actions in the rest area, but he noticed that at the beginning of the second half, Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences, which was four goals behind, still showed high spirits on the field, and soon conceded another goal. As the point difference widened further, Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences took the initiative to attack, while Zhou Tiancheng was the engine of the team's offense, and his specialty in vision was also brought into play, even Schalke U19 noticed his threat, and the striker took the initiative to put high pressure on him. He can still keenly spot the wide players on both sides who move in time and pass the ball into the space. Although due to the overall ability, these few large-scale transfers None of them created a real chance to score goals, but Zhou Tiancheng's scheduling ability was fully seen by everyone who followed him.

Even Lunet was quite surprised. Zhou Tiancheng, as the guard of the university team, can have such a precise long pass scheduling, how can he not be surprised?
As long as I can run there, I will definitely pass it on!Runet thought that even in the Schalke 04 youth training camp, there are not many players with this kind of overall situation view and precise scheduling ability, even in midfield, right?
Moreover, Zhou Tiancheng did not change his strategy because of one or two failed attempts. After a half-time contest, he found that the opponent's left back was strong in attack and weak in defense. The position of the right midfielder of the team delivered the ball, which effectively contained the offensive threat of Schalke U19 on the left.

Runette smiled even more, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was talking to Casanueva next to him: "I have a firm belief, a leader's temperament, and solid basic skills. Although I am a little older, but In front of the potential, it is nothing... We should keep this person."

Casanueva suddenly looked happy.He knew that the boss in charge of the club's youth training had all spoken his affirmation, and this matter was finally settled.
