Chapter 442 World Cup Qualifiers
The current situation of the duo in the Ruhr area can be described as a double world of ice and fire, with a strong contrast.It seems that Schalke is sinking deeper and deeper into a quagmire. The Gelsenkirchen media have admitted that the current Schalke looks luxurious enough, but it is basically a non-nuclear team. They are now the most scolded It was Schalke executives who spoke the most, and the word that was said the most was "if" - if Zhou Tiancheng didn't move his mind like that, the club wouldn't make such a stupid decision...

Maybe the moment will still come, but at least it won't be as overwhelming as it is now.

On the other side, Dortmund fans are enjoying the joy brought by Zhou Tiancheng.Dortmund are off to their best start to the last five seasons.

In the second round of the league, they defeated Hoffenheim 1-0 away, and in the third round they defeated Nuremberg 3:1 at home. In the fourth round, they faced Leverkusen. The two sides were very stalemate on the scene. The referee showed five cards Yellow card, until the end of regular time, the score is still 0:0.

Zhou Tiancheng once again demonstrated his ability to decide the game on his own in stoppage time.First, he swayed Ballack's shovel, and then sent a line from the backcourt across the field. Lewandowski succeeded in anti-offside, and a push shot made the final decision.

After the game, the shot showed Ballack, who was 34 years old, and he took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Zhou Tiancheng. Marcel Leif couldn't help mentioning his announcement that he would retire at the end of the season, and sighed: "In the future, the Bundesliga will continue to play. Midfielder, it will be Zhou's era. If Ballack can be ten years younger, maybe there will be a classic matchup. Even now, Ballack is the only B2B midfielder who can compete with him. It's a pity that he I'm really old, and my physical strength is exhausted at this critical moment, otherwise Zhou might not be able to pass on this wonderful biography of lore..."

In Leverkusen's Bayer Stadium, Ballack still enjoyed the applause from the home court.The twilight of a hero, and the iconic leader of the German Panzer deserves it.

But that didn't stop the Dortmund media from celebrating their best start to the league.Four consecutive victories have opened up a gap with Bayern.

If possible, the Dortmund media really hope that the league will continue at this pace, but immediately after the international match day in September, the league must be suspended, and the international players in the team have to return to their respective national teams.Dortmund fans really don't want to see a good momentum interrupted.

In fact, Klopp is even more unwilling to face such a situation. The international match day is simply the natural enemy of the club coach.He counted on his fingers: Hummels and Gotze and the newly joined Gundogan were recruited by the German team, Piszczek, Blaszczykowski and Lewandowski received Poland The team's call, these players will represent the national team to participate in the 2012 European Cup qualifiers.In addition, Barrios was called into Paraguay, Zhou Tiancheng and Shinji Kagawa were called up by the Chinese team and the Japanese team respectively... Such a result really drove Klopp crazy, and most of the main lineup was drawn out. .Even if only half of these people have three strengths and two weaknesses, it will be difficult for him to guarantee that the team can maintain its current combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Klopp decided to communicate with these "international players" one by one.

"Zhou, it shouldn't be a problem for the Chinese team to win Singapore and Jordan, right?"

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Boss, your question is equivalent to those reporters asking me before the final if I want to win the championship."

Klopp frowned slightly and said, "I'm serious, Zhou, these two opponents shouldn't make the Chinese team too hard, right?"

Zhou Tiancheng touched the bridge of his nose: "For me, it's naturally like this... No, boss, don't you want me to release water to protect myself? I can't do this, this is the World Cup qualifier, boss. "

Klopp stared: "Am I such a person? Zhou, I know that the World Cup qualifiers are very important to every player. If it's what you think, I can never let you go, even if there is trouble with the international football team." It's not that I'm going to sue the Chinese Football Association... I mean, be careful on the court. Especially when you're leading by a big score, watch out for the opponent's black feet. I don't want you to have any surprises, understand? "

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned, and then waved at Klopp: "Don't worry, boss. Those defenders in the Premier League can't hurt me, and I'm not free for such a big man."

"Then you have to be careful!"

"Boss, don't worry, I've accepted my wish, and I will guarantee how I will come back."

……

Before Zhou Tiancheng left, he still couldn't let go of Chu Yunling who was in the hospital, so he took a look.

But to his surprise, not only Chu Yunling's parents were there today, but also his father.

Zhou Tiancheng looked at Chu Yunling whose complexion was gradually turning red, and his eyes showed joy. Chu's father said with a smile: "Xiaoling's condition is getting better and better, and she is still vague today. Not far away."

Zhou Tiancheng squeezed her hand lightly, and said softly: "Xiaoling, I won't be with you for the next half month, silly girl, I know you can hear me, don't pretend to be asleep, when I come back, can you give me your hand?" My surprise?"

Zhou Zhenyong hurriedly interrupted and asked, "Wait a minute! Xiao Cheng, your wife is already like this, where are you going?"

Zhou Tiancheng quickly explained with a smile: "Dad, how long has it been since you watched football? The national team called me back to fight for the World Cup, how can I say no?"

"You are really right. To tell you the truth, one of the reasons why I came to work in Germany is that there is no news about the national football team here. Before you joined the national team, I really haven't watched it for many years. That thing looks like Worried."

Zhou Tiancheng pursed his lips, and Zhou Zhenyong realized that his son was now in the game, so he scolded his son together, and immediately changed his words: "But don't think so much, fans at my age have already I have no idea about the national team, so let go and play hard. If you can lead the national team to the World Cup again, you are a hero! Don’t you like to conquer opponents? If you have the ability, go and conquer the stars and seas of the World Cup for me! Look Let's see if you can bring home a World Cup goal."

Zhou Tiancheng was very dissatisfied with his father's goal: "Dad, can you pursue a little bit? A World Cup goal is considered to have conquered the sea of ​​stars? Your sea is too small, right? We are the champions of the Asian Cup!"

Zhou Zhenyong glanced at his son: "Then you just go ahead and do it. Forgive me for limiting my imagination with my views on the national team. I really dare not ask for too much."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "Xiaoling, did you hear that? My dad asked me to conquer the sea of ​​stars, what do you think of the sea of ​​stars? How about touching a golden cup and coming back?"

Chu Yunling hooked him lightly with her finger, and Zhou Tiancheng immediately smiled.

"Let's go, Dad."
