Grassroots Glory

Zhou Tiancheng thought to himself, since the school team of Darmstadt University of Technology has output of professional players every year, this year must be no exception, there must be a few powerful characters in the opposing team, this will be fun.

Except for facing Fermelin against Dortmund University of Technology, Zhou Tiancheng has passed all the way, and the semi-professional players he encountered are still rare, and Fermelin's strength actually does not make Zhou Tiancheng feel satisfied. He is not that strong. The thrill of confrontation. So Zhou Tiancheng is looking forward to facing the Darmstadt University of Technology next.

Since this opponent is so special, their core players can't be worse than Femorin, right?

Since he got the system, Zhou Tiancheng's vision and mentality towards the game have been subtly changing. In the past, although he was equally confident in the face of strong enemies, he always felt faintly apprehensive. If he meets a player with a professional background, he thinks more about learning from his opponent and measuring the level gap.

In the past, what he thought about was how he was worse than the other party, but now he was only interested in how much better he was than the other party.

He may not realize that he has slowly begun to have the most basic self-confidence of a professional player.

At the stage of the semi-finals, the number of games has been very small, and the interval between the two games is also very long. Before the game with Darmstadt University of Technology, there is a full two-week rest period. The German Football Association also considered that college players need to take into account the particularities of competition and studies at the same time, and appropriately relaxed the preparation cycle for each team.

After scoring consecutive goals in the previous games, it is not difficult for Coach Fabitz to discover that Zhou Tiancheng also has a unique talent in offense. In the next tactical joint training of the whole team, he began to try to change from a four-back system to a three-back system. To a large extent, this was done to stimulate Zhou Tiancheng to attack boldly, especially after he missed a corner kick and a set kick attack, Zhou Tiancheng was specially asked to protect two points outside the penalty area and continue to participate in the next wave of offense. In addition to him, there are two central defenders on the defensive line to protect him, so Zhou Tiancheng doesn't need to rush back to the half court and think about defending after his team's set-piece attack.

In order to stimulate the offensive attributes of the team's central defenders, a set of formations was specially redesigned. Of course, the overall offensive ability of the strikers is indeed unstable, which is the biggest factor, but why did they choose to develop Zhou Tiancheng's offensive ability as a central defender?

The fundamental reason is that Coach Feibitz really has high hopes for Zhou Tiancheng and cannot bear to ignore every bit of his potential. Having worked as a professional youth training coach for so many years, coach Feibitz knows in his heart that with Zhou Tiancheng's starting point, if he does not have comprehensive abilities and does not develop in the direction of generalist panacea in the future, his career prospects will be very limited.

Let me ask, if Zhou Tiancheng had a positional conflict with a player who had received a professional youth training camp since he was a child, and his abilities were comparable, he could only choose one of the two. As the head coach of the youth team, how would he choose?

Coach Feibitz simply doesn’t know too much about the mentality of youth team coaches. Zhou Tiancheng is often given up at this time. Those youth team coaches usually choose the latter, because there is not only a gap in ability between professional and amateur, the youth echelon After all, it is still a professional arena. The mentality of facing professional games is of course that those players who have received professional youth training camps since childhood are more mature, and the intensity of daily games they accept is also greater.

Therefore, Coach Feibitz can only train Zhou Tiancheng to develop in the direction of a comprehensive all-rounder. He has many skills and does not overwhelm him. In a team, all-rounders who can play two or three roles at the same time are even rarer than pandas. Coach Feibitz is very clear. Zhou Tiancheng must increase his trust in the coach's heart by mastering more skills.

Fortunately, Zhou Tiancheng did not live up to his expectations. After systematic assistance and hard training, Zhou Tiancheng's set-pieces and 30-meter long-range shots were already frighteningly accurate. But he didn't slack off either, and he practiced set-pieces and long-range shots every day, although he wasn't as ecstatic and crazy as he was practicing a hundred shots a day when he first got started some time ago.

Now the number is halved, but Zhou Tiancheng's requirements for himself are very abnormal: 50 set balls and 50 long-range shots in four directions around the penalty area every day, must be full of shots, miss once, and start again 50 times !

Such a request is a painful torture for professional players, but Zhou Tiancheng survived after being exhausted by himself time and time again.

Of course, everything is hard work, and coach Feibitz asked him to participate in the team's second offensive after the set kick. As a result, Zhou Tiancheng shot three consecutive shots from outside the penalty area. Coach Feibitz was very surprised.

Jiang Hao shook his head, and said to Mingtao: People like Brother Cheng really can't be provoked, and they can really kill their lives if they are ruthless. If I practice like this until I die, then it's better to just give me a knife.

Ming Tao glanced at him, and added: So you will never be able to PK Brother Cheng one-on-one.

Jiang Hao: Can you chat? What right do you have to say, you goalkeeper who gets beaten!

...

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the semi-finals.

In this game, Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences did not have the pain of the previous two consecutive expeditions. They were lucky to draw the home lottery and will wait for work at home.

The visiting team Darmstadt University of Technology arrived the day before the game and had a warm-up training in the school stadium that morning.

However, Jiang Hao unexpectedly found an acquaintance in the visiting team camp.

Brother Cheng, look at their number 11!

Following Jiang Hao's reminder, Zhou Tiancheng looked over and saw the player changing the No. 11 jersey on the sidelines. When he turned around, Zhou Tiancheng found the same yellow-skinned face!

Coupled with Jiang Hao's reminder, it was not difficult for Zhou Tiancheng to think that he was a Chinese. He casually asked, Do you know him?

Jiang Hao glanced at the front face, and exclaimed in surprise: That's right, it's him! I'm Fa Xiao, and I'm also a classmate in elementary school. Brother Cheng, he is very fierce. You must pay attention later.

Jiang Hao looked serious, and Zhou Tiancheng raised his interest and looked at him from a distance. The other party was not as tall as Jiang Hao. When he took off his clothes, Zhou Tiancheng found that the back muscles of the other party were not as thick as his arms. His first reaction was Jiang Hao overreacted a little.

With such a physical condition, it is obvious that he cannot play as a defender or a striker. Even if he plays in the midfield, even if his spirituality and foot skills are excellent, he will definitely not be able to withstand high-intensity physical confrontation. There are only a few cases of players like Harvey in the entire world of football. On this platform, it is absolutely impossible to have players of that kind of talent and grade.

That's it, is it considered a strong enemy?

It wasn't that Zhou Tiancheng didn't take Jiang Hao's reminder seriously, but that he ruled out all possibilities. Although he was always cautious, he really couldn't imagine how this young man who made Jiang Hao afraid could be called a master.
