Grass roots glory

Chapter 380
Schalke directly ended the suspense of this round with one round, and Magath can free up his hands for at least a month to seriously prepare for the league.The schedule of the last month is very critical. In the three games, two opponents are against Stuttgart and Bayern. Although it will not make Schalke afraid, but it is not careless, as long as it passes this level.The rest of the race will be much easier.

Oh yes, they will play against Bayern again in the German Cup. Schalke advanced to the semi-finals of the German Cup after eliminating Nuremberg, and happened to meet Bayern head-on in the semi-finals.

But this is not a bad thing for Schalke. As long as they pass this hurdle, Duisburg and Cottbus, the two second-tier teams in the other half, will basically pose no threat to them.Among the current three fronts, the German Cup should be the least difficult championship.

But what Magath values ​​most is naturally the league.Originally, he also hoped that Bayern would stop Dortmund a little bit, and if the team seizes the opportunity, it is not impossible to narrow the point difference.

Schalke won Stuttgart 1:0 at home. They did it to the extreme. However, in another field, Bayern lost 1:3 to Dortmund at home.In this way, Bayern will have no choice in the away game.

But compared to them, the pressure on Bayern at this time is really not small. Losing to Dortmund almost means that Bayern said goodbye to the champion, and Van Gaal's calls for getting out of class reached the peak. "Süddeutsche Zeitung" stated one of Van Gaal's most direct "mistakes": during the coaching period, there were no champions.

"Thinking about it now, Klinsmann should have dismissed get out of class, but I don't understand why Rummenigge and Hoeness chose to be indecisive in tactics. Van Gaal, who is extremely conceited and has a temper, can look at his performance in the past two seasons. What did Bayern bring, even a tasteless German Cup champion, but! Nothing! Van Gaal consumed the passion of Bayern fans, with a monthly salary of 20 euros, in the position of coach, it was like dawdling , If this is the case, why do you need him? If the Bayern executives still have the ambition of being the number one Bundesliga club, maybe it's time for someone to take the helm."

In European football, there is a saying in private that the league that most likes to let the head coach take the blame is Ligue [-], but in fact the whole of Europe is similar, especially in these traditional giants, as long as the team does not have well-known infighting, it will lose the championship. It must be the head coach's fault.

However, Van Gaal was very strong in front of the media: "The hope of the championship has not been lost. You do not need to question the ambition of me and the club. If the club thinks that I should leave, then I will definitely obey the arrangement, but it is not up to you reporters to say It's up to you."

The team's top scorer Mario Gomez also stood up to support Van Gaal: "It is meaningless to discuss these issues now. The game against Schalke 04 is what we should pay attention to. Who said that a seven-point deficit cannot be reversed? Who knows until the end? Just like Zhou Tiancheng is indeed in good condition now, but will he definitely win the Golden Boot this season? At least I don’t agree!"

The Bayern reporters present were instantly excited. Now Gomez's image is much more popular than Van Gaal's, at least he can still find some of Bayern's usual domineering, so a reporter kindly asked: "So, Super Mario , what are your plans for this game?"

Gomez didn't think much at all, and stretched out three fingers: "Three goals, Bayern lost in the three games I played on behalf of Bayern, so I have to return it to Schalke."

Gomez said this intentionally. In the latest scorer list, he and Zhou Tiancheng are just three goals away, so he has great ambitions. He wants to catch up with Zhou Tiancheng in this battle.

The reporters all smelled the afternoon, and the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" simply used it as the headline of the second day: Golden Boot Declaration from Super Mario!

In private, Schweinsteiger jokingly asked Gomez, "Mario, are you serious?"

"That's for sure, Bastian, I will never lose this bet... In fact, I am helping you again, you are a family man!"

Schweinsteiger quickly coughed lightly: "You misunderstood, Mario, I just want to say that if you are serious, I will try my best to help you."

Gomez turned his head and looked at him for two seconds, and said, "Thanks, but... Bastian, let's take care of your own troubles first. After fighting so many times, do you know how to deal with Zhou?"

Schweinsteiger's face froze for a moment.

Zhou Tiancheng didn't want to pay attention to the other party's boring declaration of war, but since he attended the press conference, the local reporters have been mentioning Gomez's hat-trick today intentionally or unintentionally.The media finally caught one party taking the initiative to express their views, and caught a gimmick. They all wanted to see how Zhou Tiancheng would accept the move, and how could he just ignore it like Zhou Tiancheng did.

Zhou Tiancheng actually hates this kind of YY, but he came with the head coach.Magath hadn't left yet, so he naturally couldn't just leave. Magath also snickered, and leaned into Zhou Tiancheng's ear and said, "Zhou, it's time to satisfy their curiosity. Are you still afraid?"

Zhou Tiancheng smiled helplessly. Originally, I just wanted to keep a low profile, but someone always forced me to express my opinion like this...

Zhou Tiancheng approached the microphone and cleared his throat. The reporters immediately focused their attention and heard him say: "I didn't want to answer such a question. In the past few seasons, Bayern has never scored us three goals, so I would like to ask Did the inspiration for Gomez's hat-trick come from last night's dream?"

Zhou Tiancheng's remarks aroused public outrage. This is Bayern's home court. It is conceivable that many reporters are fans of Bayern.Hearing Zhou Tiancheng's words, they gritted their teeth in secret, but due to the occasion, they all pretended to be gentlemen with sullen faces.

When the two sides shook hands and greeted each other on the field, Gomez whispered in Zhou Tiancheng's ear: "I really want to win you, and soon you will know that this is not a dream."

In order to show his determination, Gomez used a lot of strength when shaking hands, and Zhou Tiancheng felt his knuckles cracking.

Zhou Tiancheng actually felt a lot of pain. Europeans are really not good at muscular strength.The explosive power in this brief moment was amazing enough, and Gomez made such a sudden attack while he was not prepared, which really made him suffer a dark loss.

Zhou Tiancheng moved his fingers a few times, this small episode was enough for him to fight Gomez today.He is not a person who can suffer from dark losses.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years?

No, Zhou Tiancheng usually doesn't have an overnight feud with anyone, because he reported it on the spot.

PS: There is another update before twelve o'clock.
