Grass roots glory

Chapter 392 Core matchup, lock the victory
The one with the worst face at the moment is Mourinho. In the midfield locker room, he instilled confidence in the players, emphasizing more on offense, because he still trusts these players. One of the best defenders in Europe.

But the score on the court made him pay for his blind trust.

Of course, this is also his fault. He said that he will try to score three or four in the second half. The players naturally think that they should focus on the offensive end. Ramos and Pepe are not safe people. Just now Real Madrid continued to press high. , Their minds were all in the opposite penalty area. This time Schalke's sudden corner kick, the two central defenders hurried back to their own penalty area, and did not seize a very favorable position.

Mourinho has a gloomy face and is quite dissatisfied with Pepe's performance. A madman will not reflect on himself immediately, but to be honest, if he can emphasize more in the midfield locker room, "We will defend first in the second half. ", it is estimated that this conceded goal can be avoided...but it is too late to say anything now.

The Madrid TV commentator kept angrily complaining: "Too bad! Too bad! Pepe's performance is simply a disaster level... No, the entire Real Madrid defense is like this, and Mourinho turned a blind eye to such a defense , only thinking about attacking. It remains to be seen whether Higuain's appearance will be effective, but now, the defense can't wait! If no adjustments are made, I'm afraid he will be blown up! Pepe's expression clearly proves that there is already a problem with his mentality !"

But the commentator is not the head coach after all, so even if this guy blushes and has a thick neck, he is very worried about Real Madrid's prospects, he can only stay in words, Mourinho does not intend to use the knife on the back line.Instead, it is required to continue to exert pressure on the offensive end. The best defense is offense.This tactical philosophy matches Mourinho's personality very well.

Neuer saved two consecutive shots from Cristiano Ronaldo from near the penalty area line. Both times they went straight to the dead corner. Neuer only caught a little bit of the ball. Zhou Tiancheng took the initiative to come up to pay tribute to him. Neuer A little anxious: "Give me some attention!"

"Manuel, calm down. You did a good job." Zhou Tiancheng said with a smile beside him.

Neuer gave him a blank look: "You can still laugh. Zhou, why don't you go guard against Cristiano, they obviously can't handle it, and I think I can't hold it anymore if I do it again."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "Why do you all like to arrange tasks for me? Don't forget that I am the captain."

Zhou Tiancheng pointed to the captain's armband. In fact, he really didn't like this kind of more exhausting defensive task, although he was not afraid of Ronaldo.

Neuer thought for a while: "Even if you help me, you are the only one who makes me feel at ease. I won't let you work in vain. After winning the game, I invite you to my house for dinner."

Thinking of this, Zhou Tiancheng shrank his neck: "I agree, even if it's for the team, but I won't have to eat."

Although Zhou Tiancheng has been in Germany for many years, he has never dared to think about German food. Although it is not as "famous" as the British dark cuisine, it is really better than cooking a few home-cooked dishes by himself eat.Since he learned a few dishes last time to cope with his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, he also has the same experience that he can barely master the dishes. Chinese food crushes global cuisines.

Neuer smiled and patted Zhou Tiancheng on the shoulder, he thought Zhou Tiancheng was being polite to him, what a brother!
……

Ronaldo found that the player staring at him was replaced by Zhou Tiancheng, his smiling expression immediately received two points, and he began to get serious.Pulling the ball to change direction, changing direction to forcefully enter the penalty area, the rhythm under his feet has obviously accelerated.He knows very well that it is unwise to try to dribble and shoot horizontally in front of Zhou Tiancheng, so his first choice is to rush into the penalty area. He knows that the biggest opportunity is to gain position by speed, so that Zhou Tiancheng can defend in the penalty area There will also be many scruples.

However, he still underestimated Zhou Tiancheng's ability to respond.As soon as he accelerated a step towards the penalty area, Zhou Tiancheng immediately followed, and his pace was faster. He grabbed in front of him in two steps, directly blocked between Ronaldo and the ball, and turned around to wipe off Ronaldo. Foot clearance.

"Beautiful! Zhou Tiancheng and Ronaldo are one-on-one, don't fall behind!"

Immediately, many fans in China sent a bunch of angry praises to Zhou Tiancheng.

"Hard strength is crushing, awesome!"

"This explosive power, I have seen it today. May I ask how many people in the world can defend Ronaldo so cleanly one-on-one?"

"It feels like he traveled through the two-dimensional space. The muscle power of the yellow race is so strong that it doesn't make sense."

Ronaldo pursed his lips angrily. He didn't insist on fighting with Zhou Tiancheng. At his level, he understands team discipline better, and he also knows that Zhou Tiancheng is really not an easy opponent, so he won't do it. This kind of risk is very high and it is not interesting to ask for it.

However, as the game time goes on, more ball possessions will come to him, because... there is no time, the game is about to enter injury time, and Real Madrid's bottom line requirement is to get a draw. Look at their core.

The two cores just matched up again.

This time Ronaldo took out all the tricks he could display. First, he dunked the ball to the left to speed up, and flashed the space to make a fake shot. From the corner of his vision, he saw Higuain running without the ball in the penalty area. .

However, Zhou Tiancheng and his angle are the opposite. Ronaldo glanced to the left, while Zhou Tiancheng saw Higuain's running position when he looked to the right. Tian Cheng immediately shifted his center of gravity to his right side, stretched out his right foot to tackle, and firmly kept the ball under his feet.

Pass downfield, and any player would do the rest—take the ball to the corner flag and slowly eat up the game time.

A reversal is almost a certainty. At this time, Duan Xuan said: "Zhou Tiancheng's two goals today are worthy of special mention, but his greatest contribution should be to defend against Ronaldo. Facts have proved that only he can do it, if not He, Schalke may not be able to withstand Real Madrid's counterattack today."

"This is confidence and strength. His teammates have nothing to do. At this time, he can only stand up. But he has this strength. Without diamonds, how dare he take on this porcelain work?" Xu Yang, the guest commentator, answered the talk beside him.

Duan Xuan interrupted him suddenly: "What do you mean, this has nothing to do with Magath's tactics, but his own choice?"

Xu Yang was very sure: "Absolutely, otherwise how could Magath have such an expression?"

The camera turns to Magath, his expression is uncertain.

But this time it was not given to Mourinho, his expression is even more interesting!
PS: I feel the need to explain.

In the last chapter, some fans reacted too harshly against Real Madrid and called me a Barcelona dog. I want to say that the author is absolutely neutral in writing the book. I also blacked Barcelona when I wrote about the Champions League final, which is fair.

Although the nickname "Royal Circus" has only come out in the past two years, who told Real Madrid not to live up to expectations at that time, such a lineup, Champions League Sixteen Lang every year...
