Grass roots glory

Chapter 454 Continue to hit the record?

During the meal time, what made Zhou Tiancheng a little more relaxed was that Kagawa’s apartment had not been changed to a Japanese-style tatami style, and the Western-style dining style was maintained when he went to the countryside. Zhou Tiancheng was relieved, and he could finally enjoy the meal with peace of mind. .

Kagawa brought out a plate of white dumpling-shaped food from the kitchen, and said to everyone: "Please taste it, today is our traditional Japanese Tsukimi Festival, and this is the specialty of our Tsukimi Festival, glutinous rice dumpling."

Even Zhou Tiancheng expressed surprise, not to mention Hummels and his fellow Europeans who knew nothing about traditional oriental festivals. They picked up this hard food, which was smaller than a hamburger but different in color, and carefully observed it. No mouth.Immediately afterwards, Shinji Kagawa unwrapped the mooncake brought by Zhou Tiancheng and brought it up.Looking at the mooncake with a "moon"-shaped Chinese character engraved in the middle, which is obviously more delicate than the dumplings, Hummels' eyes immediately lit up: "Kagawa, what is this? It looks very distinctive."

Zhou Tiancheng answered from the side: "This is our special food moon cake in China on this day. Well, it is similar to the dumplings in Xiangchuan. They are all eaten when admiring the moon. Let's try it."

Hummels picked up one of them and squeezed it, it was soft, and immediately became interested: "It looks like this one should be good, I'll try it first."

Several teammates tasted the mooncakes, while Zhou Tiancheng picked up the dumpling and took a bite.To be honest, after one bite, he really felt that it was not as delicious as moon cakes.The dumpling made of glutinous rice has nothing special except that it tastes very soft.Cooking it like a bun, Zhou Tiancheng suddenly began to miss the taste of glutinous rice when he was a child.

But he naturally wouldn't show it. During the meeting, Kagawa once again thanked him for feeding him cakes for helping him score his first goal in the Champions League. Zhou Tiancheng also encouraged him again in front of several team leaders.

After a meal, both the host and the guest enjoyed the meal, and the team resumed training the next day.

Several important injuries are still actively recovering, but they have little impact on the team's last two league rounds. They played against Hannover 96 and Mainz 05 respectively, and they can win with the current lineup.

It's just that no one expected Zhou Tiancheng to explode again at this point in time.

In the sixth round of the league against Hannover 96, in the first half behind by one goal, Klopp imitated the experience of the previous game in the second half, allowing Zhou Tiancheng to advance frequently to participate in the attack, leaving only Sven Bender behind to protect line of defense.

Perhaps in the Champions League, Klopp will still have scruples, but in the Bundesliga, he has enough confidence that a single midfielder is enough.Dortmund has a clear advantage on the scene. The conceded goal was not a tactical error, but the consequence of Subotic's lack of marking in the set-piece defense.

And Zhou Tiancheng, who went forward and participated in the offense, fully reflected his dominance in the offense.With three corner kick opportunities, Zhou Tiancheng smashed the ball into the goal over the head of the opponent's central defender with his better position selection awareness and absolutely unsolvable bounce.

In the final stage of the game, when Zhou Tiancheng smashed the ball in for the third time, Marcel Leif was very excited and shouted: "GOOOOOAL!!! Unbelievable! Zhou actually performed a hat-trick in the same way Hannover's defensive line is more like a joke... Haha, of course not, the fact is that Zhou has shown absolutely strong judgment and jumping, and super predictive power!"

Hannover coach Slomka smiled wryly when he saw Zhou Tiancheng's goal. As expected, he still couldn't guard against the student he was most proud of.

But the most depressing thing was Mingtao, who was guarding Hannover's goal. He had already attacked decisively for the third goal lost, but the palm he swung was still a step late.

"Brother Cheng, it's too much, you have to forgive others and forgive others, brother has nothing to do if this goes on." After the game, Ming Tao joked and walked off with Zhou Tiancheng, not taking the loss to heart at all. , They all know that this game is not the key battle for the team to complete the goal of relegation.

Zhou Tiancheng chuckled: "You asked for it. Who told you to stay in this relegation team all the time? If you don't abuse you, who will you abuse? We are brothers off the field, but every yard is equal on the court. Xiaotao, can you It's a bit of a pursuit, when can we compete in a wealthy family?"

"Brother Cheng, are you kidding me, Dortmund is a rich family?"

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head frankly: "It doesn't count, but we are on the way to becoming a wealthy family, so we must be better than your current team."

Ming Tao was suddenly a little embarrassed: "I think so too, Brother Cheng, but you also know that this small gate and small temple..."

"Okay, okay, I'll just say it casually, you decide how to choose."

Zhou Tiancheng sighed inwardly. Ming Tao said that he understood the situation very well. Like Hannover, the exposure in the Bundesliga is not high, and there is no chance to make an appearance in the European arena. It is too difficult to get recruited by the giants.

It's like a pyramid, Zhou Tiancheng is close to the top of the tower, naturally there are many attentions and choices, and the scenery at a glance is infinitely good.But people like Mingtao are in the middle of the largest pyramid, which is much better than those young people at the bottom who are still working hard to become professional players. ascend to heaven.

In fact, Ming Tao now regrets that when he played against Schalke U19 in the friendly match, he was too nervous and did not perform at his best level. Looking at Zhou Tiancheng and even Jiang Hao now, he sometimes thinks: If he could have The same starting point, maybe the situation is different now?

……

The hat-trick against Mainz is not the end. Zhou Tiancheng continued the same performance against Mainz in the seventh round of the league. This time, he scored goals with his head and feet in every way.Shinji Kagawa provided him with two assists.Before the end of the game, Zhou Tiancheng also returned the favor and assisted Kagawa, and then scored a single-handed goal.

However, compared to Shinji Kagawa's highlight, the media is obviously more willing to pay more attention to Zhou Tiancheng's performance, because such a scene is too familiar.It happened once this past season.

Klopp was not surprised at all: "I didn't design tactics for Zhou alone. You think too much. Because even if Zhou scores a goal, he doesn't need the whole team to fully support him on the offensive end, as you can see. , For a player like him who can see all the loopholes on the field, scoring goals is easy."

Klopp is telling the truth, but he doesn't understand what the reporters are thinking. What the media wants to ask is not this matter at all.but want to say...

"Zhou, now you have scored seven goals in seven rounds of the league. Gerd Muller said last season that he is looking forward to you breaking his record."

This is what the reporters really want to ask. Of course, it doesn't matter whether Gerd Muller really said this, they just care about Zhou Tiancheng's attitude.

"I think it's too early to say this. Helping the team establish an advantage in the standings is the real thing."

The reporters were very surprised. How could Zhou Tiancheng, who would always give an affirmative answer to this kind of question, be cautious this time?
