Chapter 621 Bayern's Iron Barrel Formation
Zhou Tiancheng didn't do such a thing, as long as the team wins, he has [-] goals in his career. He just went through it in his mind and remembered today's day.

He remembered this day just to motivate himself, and scored the first hundred goals. Zhou Tiancheng felt that it took too long, so he set a goal for himself: the time to complete the second and third hundred goals should still be Keep it as short as possible.

If the other forwards know that Zhou Tiancheng has set such a goal, they will be ashamed and indignant and hit the wall collectively-are you going to surpass Ronaldinho and Raul?You're a fucking midfielder!Can you be a little self-conscious?

After the game, the Dortmund media probably also got the news from the Chinese reporters that Zhou Tiancheng's total goals had exceeded 24 goals, and they also kept up with the rhythm of the Chinese media's hype.But what they focus on is the whole season - winning the Ballon d'Or is the beginning of Zhou Tiancheng subverting the traditional pattern of world football, and he has just turned [-] years old. It can be said that this is the starting point of the pinnacle of his career.The Dortmund media couldn't help thinking in their minds: If they can keep Zhou Tiancheng forever, how long can they dominate in the Bundesliga?

It is exciting to think about, but no one has an answer to this question.Zhou Tiancheng has already won all the championships that can be won in the Bundesliga. It can be said that once a club like Real Madrid that is not short of money makes another move, Dortmund will not be able to keep Zhou Tiancheng sooner or later.

No one can say in the future, but being able to recruit Zhou Tiancheng is already a great success for Dortmund. Where Zhou Tiancheng will go in the future is a matter for the future.

At least he is still here now, this is Dortmund's biggest confidence in defending the Triple Crown.

But then they will encounter the biggest stumbling block in the quarter-finals of the German Cup: Bayern Munich.

No one thought that the two teams would be drawn into the same half before the start of the season. It was supposed to be the final showdown in the finals, but the quarterfinals were held early.

But this time it is worth watching, the entire Bundesliga has turned its attention.

In the first round of the confrontation between the two sides at the league level, there was no winner. Including the Super Cup, Bayern still has the advantage.This season has the momentum of the return of the king.Now that the German Cup has only reached the quarter-final stage, neither team can accept being eliminated now, so this game is estimated to be a game of gunpowder.

And both sides have their main players absent in this game.Ribery was forced to miss this focus match because of his red card against Augsburg in the last round. Bayern lacked a sharp weapon in the frontcourt. Coincidentally, Klopp also happened to lack A defensive force.Hummels did not go to the Allianz Arena with the team, and Klopp said that he was forced to be absent due to a cold.

God knows if it was the impact of the trip to Donetsk, which erupted now after a short incubation period.In short, Klopp is in a worse mood than Heynckes. The loss of a central defender has a much greater impact than the absence of a winger.

And Klopp's approach to dealing with the absence of the main players is even more incomprehensible.Most of the Dortmund media predicted before the game that Klopp should pull the right back Schmelzer to the center to play as a guest central defender and partner with Subotic. This is a relatively reliable central defender configuration, without too much experience and skills. Obvious shortcomings.The combination of central defenders may not be against the sky, but it must be stable.This is a very simple truth, at least you can't trick yourself.

But what is surprising is that Klopp's replacement for Hummels turned out to be Felipe Santana.

This defender has not played much in the last two seasons, because Subotic and Hummels have played very stably, but in fact he is about to turn 27 years old, and he is not young anymore.And it was the star of hope that Klopp personally ordered to introduce when he took over Dortmund in 2008, but he has never really proved his performance.

As a central defender, he has excellent physical fitness and jumping, but he is also prone to the most common problems of central defenders: he likes to shovel, and his actions are relatively reckless.

Seeing him appear in the starting lineup, the Dortmund reporters felt their hearts jump and their toes tightened.

"What's the situation? Isn't Marcel (Schmelzer) here? Why use Felipe, a guy who can't find a place at all?"

"Suicide tactics? Is Klopp unable to adjust, or does he want to give up the German Cup?"

"Damn it! It's really not good, even if Zhou is pulled back to play as a central defender, I believe he can do a good job!"

"That's for sure. Zhou always comes with surprises, and Felipe... I hope I don't get scared."

"Hey, maybe it's not that serious, ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at Bayern's starting lineup before talking..."

What the Dortmund reporters couldn't understand was their team's formation. Klopp's weird formation was enough for them to worry about for a long time. After this reminder, everyone reacted and found out the Bayern starting information provided by the rear director.

Seeing it, everyone was stunned.

It's not surprising that the Dortmund media couldn't understand their team's formation, because of Heynckes' formation, all the commentators who broadcast the game couldn't understand it.

Heynckes played 5-4-1!

The defense line from left to right is Alaba, Dante, Badstuber, Boateng, Lahm, and the four midfielders lined up are Schweinsteiger, Harvey Martinez, Tymoshchuk, Robben, and Mandzukic came forward as single arrows.

Bayern's sudden "low-key" caught everyone off guard, and everyone even wondered if they saw a fake Bayern.

Seven of the starting 11 players are defensive players. Heynckes' tactics are already very clear, and anyone who knows a little about football can see it, but everyone doesn't want to believe it. Heynckes wouldn't be so cautious, could he?
This should be the tactic of another team in Munich, Munich 1860, when they met Dortmund. Anyway, everyone was surprised.

Some commentators prefer to believe that this is a fascination array put on by the cunning Heynckes like a fox.In fact, this lineup can also be very aggressive. If the frontcourt is high and the midfielder is full of players with a wide range of running ability and a tough style, Dortmund may be in big trouble.

Marcel Leff is one of the commentators who are cautious. He looked at the starting lineup, frowned, and said: "Dortmund's game may not be easy. When Bayern tear off the halo of the giants, their rich game experience will be It will make them the most difficult opponents. Only God knows how they will fight, Dortmund have to be careful, especially Zhou..."
