Grass roots glory

Chapter 384 Can I do it if I don't score goals?
The headlines that appeared on the domestic Internet and major media the next day were quite eye-catching and unified: Zhou Tiancheng's small goal-shoulder to shoulder with the legend.

This topic was first thought up by the "Sports Weekly". After the latest issue of the newspaper was published, the response was overwhelming, and it soon became a hot search word on the Internet.

If it was as expected by these reporters, even they were taken aback at the time, let alone the fans.

"It sounds daunting, but from now on we have something to look forward to. If he really scored [-] goals, Zhou Tiancheng could retire immediately. Anyway, if it were me, he could boast for the rest of his life."

"The screen is full of bosses, forty goals are still a small goal."

"Suddenly, I discovered the omnipotent opening method of a big boss pretending to be: first set a small goal... Then who didn't say to set a small goal and earn [-] million a year. Sure enough, all the big bosses said that."

"So it's better for dicks like us to be spectators honestly. Don't talk about ideals. Compared with the boss's goal, he will suffer [-] points of damage in an instant and be blasted into scum."

……

Zhou Tiancheng thought that no one would know his answer in front of the Chinese reporters, so he said it without any pressure.

But he was wrong.

When Huntelaar and Jurado saw him, their first reaction was to touch his forehead.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" he asked, avoiding their palms.

Huntelaar asked in disbelief: "I don't have a fever... So Zhou, are you serious about scoring forty goals?"

Zhou Tiancheng was taken aback: "How do you know?"

All eyes turned to Hao Junmin.

Zhou Tiancheng understood immediately.

"Brother Cheng, I don't think this is a bad thing, so I said it so that everyone can cooperate with you."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled bitterly. He could boldly say this in front of Chinese reporters, purely to make the domestic fans happy, even if it didn’t work out in the end, it wouldn’t hurt too much, but Hao Junmin said this in front of the whole team. Tian Cheng glanced at the faces of all the forwards in the team and knew something bad was going on.They must feel that they are deliberately grabbing jobs with them by raising such a goal, right?
"Zhou, do you think it's appropriate to do this? You've scored the ball, so what are we going to do?" Huntelaar said.

"That's right, Zhou, you're going too far. Is it easy for us to score a goal? Why are you fighting for the limelight?" Even Van Nistelrooy was dissatisfied.With the arrival of Raul, although his chances of playing have decreased, any striker will not be very happy when he hears this.

"Zhou, first of all, from my experience, you want to score at least two goals per game, which is basically impossible, and you are still a midfielder..."

Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help laughing: "Raul, those who think I'm not good, but I have withdrawn them all. I don't accept what you say."

Raul snorted and said, "Then you can try to single out the opponent's entire team. Anyway, I won't cooperate with you."

The corner of Zhou Tiancheng's mouth twitched, with an expression of indifference.But he didn't expect that Raul's words represented the will of all forwards in the team.

"Agreed, I will not pass the ball to Zhou anymore, and help others steal my job... I feel like I have a problem with IQ before." Huntelaar also followed up.

"I didn't expect Zhou to be such a person, it's just too greedy."

All the forward teammates sneered at him, Zhou Tiancheng was taken aback, and snorted: "That's what you said."

He can't believe these guys don't pass the ball to him in the game.Even if they were not happy, what if Magath had such a request?

Everyone lowered their heads and pretended to be chatting, ignoring him.

Hao Junmin said apologetically, "Old Zhou, I seem to have caused you trouble again."

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head: "What does this have to do with you? I said it. Don't worry, I have a way to do it."

Speaking of this, Zhou Tiancheng suddenly missed Jiang Hao a little bit. If he was here, he wouldn't care what other people thought of him, just the three of them would be enough.

But what surprised Zhou Tiancheng was that during training on the training ground, several forwards really refused to pass the ball to him. As long as he pushed the ball to the forwards, it would basically never return to his feet.

"What's the matter? Jan, really?" Zhou Tiancheng asked Huntelaar with a frown.

The latter nodded: "Do you think we are joking?"

"We'll miss things when we get to the court!" Zhou Tiancheng raised his voice and shouted, he was really angry.

Seeing that Zhou Tiancheng had very few chances to catch the ball, Magath did not ask the forwards to blame, but called Zhou Tiancheng over for a conversation: "Zhou, are you serious? Forty goals in a season, isn't this goal a joke?"

Zhou Tiancheng replied frankly: "Since I said this in front of the media and I can't take it back, I must find a way to do it."

"Do you know how difficult it is? You are the captain. I don't want you to encourage your teammates to achieve your goals. Driving the team is your first duty now."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled slightly: "Boss, I think the best way to drive the team is to keep winning and keep everyone confident. What do you think?"

Magath was a little helpless. Zhou Tiancheng's implication was that as long as he could win, he felt that there was nothing wrong with monopolizing the team's goals.

If it were someone else, it is estimated that Magath would get angry and hit him directly from the starting lineup to the bench, but is this team missing Zhou Tiancheng?
It has been proven during the Asian Cup, and the next game against Stuttgart is another proof.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Zhou Tiancheng focused his energy on passing the ball. He was far away from the penalty area. Facing Stuttgart's iron barrel formation of five defenders, the front trident really couldn't penetrate.

Taking advantage of the opening period, Stuttgart also took the lead through a quick counterattack.

Magath consciously pushed Zhou Tiancheng forward, and at the same time called Raul to the sidelines to explain a few words. The core is one: I don't care what you think in your heart, but when you are on the court, the overall situation is the most important thing!

Seeing Zhou Tiancheng coming up, Raul quickly returned the ball to him. As soon as Zhou Tiancheng took the ball, the effect was different immediately. The two Stuttgart players couldn't defend themselves and could only foul from behind.

With the set ball in the frontcourt, Zhou Tiancheng sent the ball into the goal with one kick, and it went straight to the dead corner.

After Zhou Tiancheng scored a goal, he took the initiative to go up to give Raul a high-five, and said with a smile: "Raul, did you see? I wanted to give you a chance, but the team fell behind instead. This is a fact. If I don't score, I can OK?"

Raul looked at Zhou Tiancheng and waved his hands at him with a smile, showing a slight smile, and shook his head slightly.

Young man, you really think you are serious with him!

PS: First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone.

Last night, after coding the second change, I couldn’t do it. My head was about to explode. I wanted to stick to it, but I fell asleep in the middle of the third change.

Today's update is so early, everyone should know that the third update must be guaranteed.
