Grass roots glory

Chapter 82 Farewell and Inspiration (End)
Slomka likes Zhou Tiancheng's attitude, or most European coaches also like those players who are confident on the surface.

"Mirko, I gave you the best player, you must not waste his talent... Zhou, I won't say more, remember my words, you are no worse than anyone."

There is an old Chinese saying that parting hurts, and Elgort’s exhortation to the two of them in turn is actually a way of expressing emotions. Whether it is public or private, he is actually reluctant to let Zhou Tiancheng go, but no matter what the reason is, he All have to do this.This contradiction made his mood very complicated.

Slomka interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Okay, Norbert, are you getting too old, why are you still sentimental? You weren't like that when you took Mesut (Ozil) away. Haha! Could it be? Do you think he can surpass Mesut in the future?"

Zhou Tiancheng silently answered in his heart: Don't use this expression, what's impossible?

Elgort replied truthfully: "Every player who comes out of me, I can roughly judge their future upper limit, but for Zhou alone, I don't make predictions. I don't think he will grow to what extent he will grow in the future." It's normal, it depends on how many opportunities you can get. Zhou, I dare to say this in front of you, I'm not afraid of your pride, don't let me down."

Zhou Tiancheng nodded, and the corner of Slomka's mouth twitched.Of course he could hear the implication, he was optimistic about Zhou Tiancheng, it was true, but at the same time he dug a hole for himself.

With such an excellent player in all aspects under me, if you can't play in the first team, you will be to blame!
Slomka was even more curious about Zhou Tiancheng. For the first time, he could not wait to follow and observe a player who had not officially entered the first team.

In fact, this is exactly Elgort's purpose. Only by making the head coach curious can he get more opportunities.In fact, Elgort has laid a good foundation for Zhou Tiancheng without any trace.

"Let's go, Zhou, go and say goodbye to them and say a few words. Some people will be very reluctant to part with you."

Zhou Tiancheng was silent, he knew that this moment was inevitable.

……

When Elgort announced to all the U19 players that Zhou Tiancheng was about to be promoted to the first team, except for a small number of people who already knew, the players who hadn't known before made a low cry. In fact, there was not much surprise, but more envy.

Elgort must say something to everyone when Zhou Tiancheng is saying goodbye. Although such cases happen almost every year, for this group of young people, this is a role model around them.Elgort hopes that Zhou Tiancheng can play a positive role in driving and motivating.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled dryly, and said, "Actually, there is nothing to say. I think it is enough to talk with your feet while playing football."

Everyone below burst into laughter, Elgort suddenly became serious, and admonished the other players: "It's not your fault that you don't have Zhou's talent, but if you can love football as much as he does and continue to invest in it, maybe you can go to the first team today." You are among the people."

In fact, Elgort said this on purpose. Zhou Tiancheng was not the only target of Slomka this time. While he was following Zhou Tiancheng, Fehrman's performance also fell into his eyes.

As a goalkeeper, Ferman is young and has excellent physical fitness. Slomka feels that Ferman is more suitable as Neuer's substitute than the 32-year-old No. [-] goalkeeper Mathias Schober this year.And it has more future cultivation value.

The two quickly went to communicate with Fairman again, and Jiang Hao immediately came up to congratulate Zhou Tiancheng: "Brother Cheng, you are not mean enough! Could it be that you deliberately kept this news tightly because you don't want to treat guests?"

Zhou Tiancheng smiled wryly: "Really not. I only found out today. I haven't even met the coach before. Where would I know? I'm still confused!"

Jiang Hao chuckled: "I just like Brother Cheng's low-key pretentious style, shouldn't I be blatantly proud at this time?"

Zhou Tiancheng chuckled, then patted his shoulder to encourage him: "Behave well, I'll take a step first, the first team is waiting for you."

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly, and put on a wry smile on his face: "Brother Cheng, I accept your words, but after you left, I only dare to think about the first team of Schalke. I know that only by holding your thighs can I score so many goals in the past, other people probably won’t be able to urinate in the same pot as me.”

"What are you talking about!" Zhou Tiancheng immediately retorted: "Haozi, you can't think so. You and I cooperate well because we have a tacit understanding, but tacit understanding can be cultivated with time, and, from you Since joining Schalke U19, do you feel that you have improved a lot compared to when you were in the school team? Your own ability has become stronger, so it has nothing to do with me, right? In fact, this shows that you don’t know yourself enough. "

"As a striker, your physical fitness is really not a striker type. Maybe this makes you feel unconfident. You are used to relying on the midfielder to pass the ball to you, and then take advantage of your speed. In fact, I will give you a suggestion, make more use of the strength of a small striker. Flexibility, try to change direction and dribble more, and you can also consciously strengthen this technique during training. Experience the feeling of the ball under your feet, and gradually you will not have this kind of self-doubt. Because people who are used to holding the ball, Slowly you will know how to control everything!"

Jiang Hao was taken aback by Zhou Tiancheng's words. After savoring them carefully, he was convinced: "Brother Cheng, you are also human. Why are you so awesome? Every time you talk about these things, I think it's very interesting." It makes sense. After retiring, you might as well switch to a psychiatrist, Zhou’s Chicken Soup, the curative effect is guaranteed.”

"Excuse me, this is not a very profound thing. If you read more about the experience of those superstars, you will naturally understand more."

"Follow Brother Cheng, increase your knowledge, it's a must!"

……

Because of the European Cup, the concentrated preparation time for the first team is much later than that of the youth team. The international players participating in the European Cup need at least one month of rest, so the official concentration time for Schalke's first team is at the end of July.

Therefore, for Zhou Tiancheng, another benefit of being promoted to the first team is that there are more than ten days of vacation. In fact, after returning from the European Cup, those few days are not enough for him to adjust his body to the best condition.Traveling is a waste of energy. Ordinary people will be exhausted after a trip, and they can recover after a day or two of rest. However, football players have much higher requirements to reach their competitive state.

So these ten days are very precious to Zhou Tiancheng.

However, Zhou Tiancheng did not forget to share this important good news in time while recuperating.

Chu Yunling was still on vacation in China for the past two days, and her mobile phone was disconnected for some reason, so Zhou Tiancheng could only leave a message on QQ to announce the good news to her father first.

"Dad, what are you doing... Hehe, sit still, my son has good news for you..."

PS: The first team is finally here, and the saga is about to begin.

On the legendary road, there are not only wonderful conquests, but also...recommendation tickets and rewards in your hands!Come on, let's walk together.
