Chapter 481 Royce's Ability
Royce's ability was quickly revealed when he was integrated into the team's training.Although Zhou Tiancheng used his familiarity with footbonaut to trick Royce a little, but this just inspired Royce to prove himself here.

For him, Dortmund is the defending champion and the leader of the league. Although his old club Borussia Mönchengladbach had a golden decade of ruling the Bundesliga in the 70s, they can no longer satisfy their ambitions. Higher and farther Royce.

This is why he accepted Dortmund's olive branch. He knows that Dortmund is also a team on the road to revival, but at least they can play in the Champions League here and have the opportunity to show their abilities to the whole of Europe. For Royce, this is the best choice-of course, Bayern is also good, but Bayern is not interested in players like Royce at all, what they need is a well-known star with strong immediate combat power, even young people , They are also more inclined to the little monsters of their own youth training camp, this is the arrogance of the rich.

Coming to Dortmund, he is ready for the challenge.He didn't realize that this was Zhou Tiancheng deliberately tricking him, but he thought in his heart: the training of the wealthy is really different, put up your posture!

The first time he trained with the team, Royce showed [-]% concentration, even more focused than he actually played in the Bundesliga, and the ability he showed surprised Klopp.

In the physical fitness test, Royce's performance is not too outstanding, and he belongs to the upper-middle level of the team, but when Klopp really allows him to integrate into the team's tactical training, his ability gradually begins to show.

At present, Klopp's choice of winger is mainly Kuba and Gross Kreutz. There are basically no other rotations. One is because there is no one who can be trusted by Klopp in this position. The imported Croatian winger Perisic hoped to get a chance to perform, and even got a little emotional, but Klopp was unmoved. The more this happened, the less he would give the chance.

But now the ability shown by Royce has made Klopp himself start to admire his vision.

In terms of straight-line return acceleration ability, Royce is comparable to the two full-backs who play the main force, but Klopp noticed that Royce is different from the two. A person who doesn't know how to pass the ball, he knows how to observe the defensive player's position, make an emergency stop and change direction, and the ability to use space with long passes is better than both of them.In addition, Klopp also found that Reus has an excellent sense of coordination and midfield.In the group confrontation, he and Shinji Kagawa were assigned to one side, and cooperated with Kagawa on the side. He did not go down to the side to wait for the ball, but ran in a small diagonal line, interspersed with the space between the full back and the center back. Zhou Tiancheng was not familiar with his running habits, so he caught the leak behind him at the first time. Royce used his speed to get in and broke Weidenfeller's goal.

Seeing such a movement, Klopp's eyes lit up.What does it mean for wide players to have such awareness?
If things go on like this, the side lanes and the middle lane can be completely connected in series. In the future, do you still need to fear the so-called iron barrel formation?
Royce's ability to move without the ball is beyond the reach of the team's current two main players, and he has a keen sense of court space.Klopp naturally knows what this means-the ability to run without the ball represents the ball quotient, and represents the ultimate height of a player in the future. People with excellent ball quotient often have the same upper limit, but without ball quotient, No matter how good the physical fitness is... The godfather of Manchester United Ferguson once commented on Dong Fangzhuo's words are the most classic - all are world-class from the neck down, and the final result is no longer a secret.

When Royce showed this ability, Klopp knew that his vision had earned him.The winter training lasted only one week. In Klopp's mind, Royce has already reserved a position as the main winger for the second half of the season.

As Royce was assigned to the main team at the end of winter training, Gross Kreutz became a victim, and he was not so important in Klopp's tactical chess game.

Zhou Tiancheng warned him in private: "Kevin, don't say my brother didn't warn you, don't keep thinking about picking up girls, you are a professional player, OK?"

Zhou Tiancheng didn't know if talking too much out of a friend's position would be effective, Gross Kreutz seemed to think something different from what he thought.Zhou Tiancheng secretly guessed that this guy might be a rich second generation who grew up on a pile of money?Football is just a career like playing tickets?

……

In the No.18 round of the Bundesliga, in the first round of the second half of the season, Dortmund challenged Hamburg away.

Klopp made exactly the same starting lineup as before the winter break.In addition to introducing Royce in this winter window, Dortmund took back several players who were on loan.However, the Bundesliga winter standard king is Royce, and Dortmund has also become the most expensive club in the Bundesliga-the transfer fee for buying Royce is a full 1710 million euros.This cost is higher than Bayern, which has always liked to spend a lot of money in the winter window.They introduced Swiss international Shaqiri and Borussia defender Dante for a total of 500 million euros.

Except for Zhou Tiancheng's sky-high price, this can be regarded as a big signing for Dortmund. Due to the financial environment of the Bundesliga, all clubs pursue "healthy finances" and tighten money. The transfer transaction of tens of millions of euros is enough to shake the Bundesliga.

Therefore, this game, which was not a focus match, has increased a lot of attention, and everyone is looking forward to Royce's debut.

After securing a 2-0 lead in the first half, Klopp fulfilled everyone's wish in the second half, and Reus played in the right-wing midfielder position.

Dortmund has achieved suppression on the scene, and the advantage is still expanding.

No.606 minutes, Zhou Tiancheng extended the score to 3:0 with a long shot.

No. 707 minutes, Lin Zhijian, a naturalized German player who joined the Hong Kong team, scored a goal for Hamburg.

Three minutes later, Zhou Tiancheng stepped in to expand the score single-handedly, but this time he scored a goal, which did not satisfy the German commentator Marcel Leif

"Zhou still chooses to shoot by himself. Of course, there is no problem if the ball is scored. However, it will be easier if he pushes the ball to Royce next to him? Haha!"

Royce felt a little disappointed when he saw that he had run for nothing, so he smiled and ran over to celebrate with Zhou Tiancheng.

"Marco, are you upset? I really didn't see you just now. The next chance is yours."

Royce smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't want such an opportunity."

"Ha!" Zhou Tiancheng smiled, he began to think that this newcomer is still very interesting, at least not like Kevin, who still has a common language in some aspects.
