Chapter 9 Not Only Defense

Zhou Tiancheng saved himself from danger in front of the goal one after another, earning him enough cheers from the cheerleaders. At the same time, his teammates rushed forward, expressing their excitement and at the same time looking at their captain with admiring expressions.

In this team, Zhou Tiancheng is not the only one who takes the professional arena as his goal.In Germany, most young people have their own football dreams.But Zhou Tiancheng's performance made these young people feel the distance from their dreams.

The captain is so good, he has not yet received the favor of any professional club.So if you are an opponent, are you sure you can beat him one-on-one?
Including Jiang Hao, he lost his mind for a moment. He thought of what Coach Feibitz said to him two days ago, and he was still very dissatisfied at the time.

Off the court, the most surprised person was Hansen, the head coach of the rival Dortmund University of Technology.He has also played professional football. Although it is only a low-level regional league, he can still beat the level in front of him by several blocks.Zhou Tiancheng's two defenses completely exceeded the level of the college league.

Does he have a professional background?

Hansen murmured in his heart, and at the same time regretted that he was too confident in his team. Facing the school team with the best defense in the entire division, he firmly believed that his team would score goals, and did not use technology against Gelsenkirchen. The university's line of defense does targeted research.Zhou Tiancheng's stunning performance somewhat caught him off guard.

Now Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences has basically figured out the opponent's offensive routine. Although the No. 10 core of Dortmund University of Technology has excellent foot skills, the attack in the center is just a cover. The real threat comes from the opponent's right.Coach Feibitz made a gesture, and another central defender partnered with Zhou Tiancheng immediately expanded his defense zone, and together with the full-backs pressed the opponent's right midfielder. In the past few minutes, this right midfielder, who is only 1.7 meters tall at most, has given The defensive line posed a huge threat. The source of Zhou Tiancheng's two clearances was the pressure brought by his cutting inside the penalty area.

The joint attack of the two defenders achieved remarkable results, and the right flank attack of Dortmund University of Technology was quickly contained.The opponent's skills are indeed two brushes, but after all, two fists are no match for four hands. After all, college players do not have the tactical quality of professional players. Facing defensive players, the first thing they think about is not to guarantee the ball and maximize the advantage of the scene. I want to show off my extraordinary skills, but football has an iron law different from basketball and other sports: no matter in any level of competition, the role of the team is always higher than that of the individual.

Basketball can do 1V2 or even 1V3. At critical moments, a superstar like James Durant can also attack with the ball alone to complete the lore.But on the football field, such a choice can only be a dead end.

Nearly 10 minutes into the first half, Hansen saw that the offense was at a stalemate for a while, and began to have the idea of ​​seeking stability. He signaled the midfielder No. 10 not to rush to attack and pay attention to controlling the rhythm, but this in turn allowed Coach Feibitz to see an opportunity !
He made a gesture off the field, and the defenders and midfield line of Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences quickly put pressure on the opponent's midfield core with an unexpected order. Zhou Tiancheng's forward pressure was even faster than The two defensive midfielders were still fast, and they immediately pressed around the opponent's No. 10 player. At the same time, the team's defensive midfielder immediately rushed to grab the No. 10 player's feet.

However, Dortmund University of Technology was not in chaos. Several players around quickly approached No. 10, desperately increasing the support points around him.

Just based on the series of reactions and choices at this moment, it can be seen that the opponent is definitely not an ordinary college team, and has certain tactical qualities.

However, the turn of the opponent's No. 10 was in a hurry and he had no time to think. He just turned to face Zhou Tiancheng. Send the ball to the foot of the midfielder on the left side of the team.

As soon as the cheers of the cheerleaders were heard, Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences counterattacked even faster. The back line led by Zhou Tiancheng was pressed to the center circle as a whole. As a forward, Jiang Hao took the lead and quickly jumped in. A three-on-three counterattack situation was formed.

The full-back of Dortmund University of Technology is also very fast. It only took about 20 meters to catch up with the left midfielder who dribbled the ball. However, this brother reacted quickly. He observed Jiang Hao's running position and directly gave a kick The diagonal pass close to the ground, the weight is just right, seeing that Jiang Hao can directly face the goalkeeper to form a shot as long as he can get the ball, the opponent's central defender gritted his teeth, threw his body directly, tripped his foot on Jiang Hao's leg, and fell directly He, at the same time the ball quickly rolled out of the baseline.

Jiang Hao fell to the ground and looked at the referee for the first time, but the referee only pointed to the corner area.He decided that Jiang Hao did not completely gain control of the ball, so it could only be a corner kick.

The two sides huddled together again in the penalty area. Zhou Tiancheng, as the highest player in the team, was naturally obliged to participate in the set ball competition. In order to pursue the efficiency of the counterattack, Dortmund University of Technology chose not to withdraw Femerin Defend the corner.Zhou Tiancheng has an absolute height advantage in an instant. The most pressured goalkeeper of Dortmund University of Technology is Hatta. , has a natural advantage, but he is still very afraid, if Zhou Tiancheng comes to overwhelm him and bully others with his height, that would be bad.

When he had this kind of worry, he didn't understand one thing. As a goalkeeper, he should be domineering. In this respect, he was not even a star behind Ming Tao who was facing him. Although Ming Tao didn't like fighting in private, he stood in front of the goal, He could be someone else entirely.

And sometimes, the more you fear something, the more often it will become a reality.

The corner kick from Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences was clearly aimed at Zhou Tiancheng, and the arc was extremely high. Even if Hatta attacked, it would be impossible for him to touch the ball due to his height. Zhou Tiancheng.

Zhou Tiancheng was actually surrounded by three opposing players who double-teamed him, but he didn't dare to make too many moves in front of the goal, for fear of being awarded a penalty kick.He could only grab Zhou Tiancheng's jersey from below, but this was not enough to interfere with Zhou Tiancheng.

Like a great roc spreading its wings, Zhou Tiancheng leaped high, smashed the ball hard to the ground amidst the amazement of the audience on both sides, and then bounced high...to the goal!
Flick the ground in front of the goal with professional standards, and score with a header!

Zhou Tiancheng used the most domineering attitude to help the team take the lead in the final.

Hansen's face was extremely gloomy. He fully understood that the opponent's tall Asian defender not only knew how to defend, but was also good at scoring goals with set kicks.

But only now did I realize that it was too late, and Hansen was deeply remorseful for his underestimation of the enemy.
