Chapter 709 The Second European Super Cup

Chapter 709 The Second European Super Cup
After the official start of the league, most of the attention in the entire Bundesliga returned to the topic, focusing on the two teams of Bayern and Dortmund.At the beginning of the season, various bookmakers also offered the odds of winning the new season for the first time. For the first time, Dortmund overwhelmed Bayern and ranked first. It was already relatively low, but obviously in the eyes of the gaming company, if Zhou Tiancheng does not leave, the chances of them overthrowing Dortmund and regaining the hegemony are not great.

And Dortmund did start well.Following the 4:0 victory over Augsburg in the first round, the newly promoted Braunschweig was defeated 2:1 in the second round, and Bremen was defeated 1:0 in the third round.Although winning was not as smooth as the first game, especially against the newly promoted team, it was a bit thrilling to win. The third game was also a hard fight against Werder Bremen. Zhou Tiancheng's direct free kick was the only way to seal the victory, but at least he won.

At the beginning of the season, Klopp didn't ask much. He was consciously adjusting the lineup. Aubameyang, Hummels, and even the main goalkeeper Weidenfeller were in the rotation.He has to ensure the state of every main player to ensure a good result in the European Super Cup at the end of August.

Of course, Zhou Tiancheng is an exception. Even if Klopp wants to let him rest, he has to carefully consider it. Only when his state can be guaranteed, Uncle Zha dares to rotate other main players with confidence.

Everything is to make way for the UEFA Super Cup.As it turned out, he didn't need a break at all.

After the end of the third round of the league, Dortmund's schedule for the next week was postponed, and the whole team could rush to the distant Eastern Europe to prepare for the European Super Cup without distraction.

This year's game was played at the Eden Stadium in Prague, the Czech capital.In order to expand the influence of the top European competitions, UEFA this year is the first time since 1998 that the UEFA Super Cup has moved away from the "home" Monaco's Stade Louis II.And Dortmund's opponents in this year's Super Cup are also old acquaintances.

Premier League team "Blue Army" Chelsea.The old opponent of the Champions League final two seasons ago.

And the coach is also an old acquaintance. The former Real Madrid coach "Madman" Mourinho, although it is not good to be dismissed from Real Madrid's face, but Mourinho returned to the place where his coaching career first took off. Neo stated that he will lead Chelsea to a higher peak this season.

At the Vaclav Havel International Airport in Prague, several people's heads were printed on the promotional posters, and Zhou Tiancheng stood in the middle C position, and even Mourinho was next to him.

I don’t know if Mourinho noticed that the organizers issued such a promotional poster, but he seemed very confident when he was interviewed by reporters: “The best players are in the Premier League. I have them in my team. There are many players who are good enough to be called good. I don't understand why some players who won the Ballon d'Or don't accept new challenges. This only shows that he also has weaknesses, so he doesn't have enough confidence to try new ones. The challenge is that we have not discovered it in the past.”

"So, Mr. Mourinho, have you found out now?" The Dortmund reporter asked politely.Anyone could hear Mourinho attacking Zhou Tiancheng with insinuations, and they were certainly not polite.

Mourinho raised his head: "Of course I won't tell you now, but you will know when you are on the field."

When Zhou Tiancheng heard the Chinese reporters relay Mourinho's words, he just smiled: "This question is boring, right? What is Mourinho's nickname? Madman, a madman is going to be crazy, if he becomes It may be deceitful to be humble, now... as long as everyone is happy, as long as they are happy."

Zhou Tiancheng didn't want to say too much, the facts will prove everything.

Before the game, Klopp just let the players understand that this stage is more precious than the Champions League final-this is a stage that only champions can deserve.

"I don't want you to be influenced by the media, just play your best. We are the champions of the Champions League, and we deserve to be stronger than them, right? Seize every opportunity, especially some players, which is rare A chance to touch this trophy."

What Klopp said before the game was for Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan and other newcomers, but what he said made the players feel a little nonsensical: Is the boss nervous?For us, even if we miss this time, what opportunities will we still have in the future?With our strength in Dortmund, can't we win the championship?
Zhou is here, what do you think?

What's more, they haven't played yet this time, if they want to come to win the championship, just let them come!

……

In just 4 minutes of the opening, Dortmund took the lead in grabbing the start and almost took the lead.Zhou Tiancheng intercepted Lampard's pass with a direct pass from midfield, then went over the head of England defender John Terry and found Aubameyang directly.Aubameyang's excellent speed stood out from the siege of the defense in an instant.

Whether it is Gary Cahill or the veteran Terry, they all tend to the traditional British central defender style, with slow turns and slow starts, and are good at defending against high-altitude balls. Unwilling to face existence.

Aubameyang waded through the entire defense line, but he had a fly in the ointment when facing Cech. He wanted to choose to push and shoot, but Cech fell to the ground and stood firmly in his arms.

"Aubameyang! Oh, my God!" Marcel Leff yelled regretfully: "The speed is amazing, and it fits well with Zhou's pass, but the last thought was too simple, and I wanted to use this It's not so easy to beat Petr Cech!"

Aubameyang looked annoyed.Just when he was scratching his head, Zhou Tiancheng came over and comforted him with a smile: "Hey, beautiful sheep, cheer up, you did a good job!"

Seeing that it was Zhou Tiancheng, Aubameyang immediately gave a thumbs up, saying that he was dressed very well, and that the ball was entirely his own problem.But then he immediately asked: "Zhou, I didn't hear clearly, what did you call me just now?"

Zhou Tiancheng repeated with a smile: "Beautiful Yangyang, Mei-Yang-yang, do you understand?"

Aubameyang shook his head, obviously he didn't know why Zhou Tiancheng called him that.

Zhou Tiancheng explained with a smile: "You are popular, do you know that you are popular in China? Now the fans call you that. Mei Yangyang is a very cute little cartoon sheep in our country. Chinese fans think you are cute, so I give you Such a nickname."

"Hahaha!" Aubameyang laughed, "Zhou, I like this nickname."

Zhou Tiancheng patted him on the shoulder: "After a long time, you will find that joining Dortmund is definitely the most correct choice. But next time you have to seize the opportunity, if you really can't, pass it to me, the beautiful sheep who don't waste opportunities blindly More lovely."

The two of them were in a good mood as they talked like this.But Mourinho's mood on the sidelines is not so good.
