Grassroots Glory

Nice job, Hiroko! Haha, the shot is so cool!

No, no, brother Cheng, in the final analysis it's your idea.

The two hugged each other for the first time, being humble to each other, in fact, it was more like flattering each other. But soon the two disappeared on the field—everyone on the field rushed up and surrounded them. . Even the players on the bench waved towels excitedly, echoing the field.

Elgort and his assistant also looked surprised, and the assistant joked: Norbert, you really have it! But your unconventional tactics are very effective!

Elgort turned his head to look at his assistant, and said: It has nothing to do with me. And the real leader star is the commander on the field, and he will never just stick to the coach's arrangement.

The second half of the sentence implies Elgort's experience as a top youth training coach, and also implies that Zhou Tiancheng's upper limit in his heart will never be too low.

...

Schalke took the lead in a flash, and Bayern players were beaten in the opening game. However, Bayern deserves to be the only club in Germany that can be called a giant, and the players have always maintained confidence on the field.

How do you see it?

With such a rare lightning conceded goal, Bayern U19 players can still hold their ground, and under the leadership of captain Tony Kroos and striker Thomas Müller, they played sharp anti-offside counterattacks. No lower than Schalke U19.

But since this is the finals, Schalke intends to use the weak to beat the strong. Elgort must have explained all possible situations to the players before the game. Fight for the initiative.

In this way, Zhou Tiancheng will inevitably have to confront the opponent's core midfielder Toni Kroos head-on.

In terms of height, Zhou Tiancheng is half a head taller, but Toni Kroos is also very confident. Although he is a post-90s and is one or two years younger than most players on the field, he is naturally confident technically that he can be trained as a future midfield successor in Germany's leading youth academy like Bayern Munich. As for the biggest constraint factor in the youth arena, that is, physical fitness, Kroos also feels that he is not at a disadvantage.

Having seen Zhou Tiancheng's excellent long pass skills just now, and now facing him face to face, Cross wanted to use his skills to compete with the yellow-skinned big man in front of him.

Cross thought that Zhou Tiancheng would definitely make full use of his physical advantages. He could turn his body slightly to try to isolate Zhou Tiancheng from the ball.

However, Cross didn't know that what he was facing was Zhou Tiancheng who had used a system bug to activate the predictive function. All his advantages and disadvantages were no secret to Zhou Tiancheng.

Cross's strength and explosive power reached 75 and 77 respectively in the comprehensive score of the superstar growth system, which is not low, so Zhou Tiancheng didn't intend to fight head-on with his opponent on this, he moved a step to the right in advance, and now The angle is just right to expose the ball in front of Kroos while turning sideways.

All of this is done in a fast-paced and high-confrontation moment, and Cross has no extra time to think about corrections.

Zhou Tiancheng took the opportunity to poke with his foot, the ball broke and he fell down, but the referee decided that Zhou Tiancheng did not make any additional actions, which did not constitute any foul.

When the ball returned to Zhou Tiancheng's feet, he thought of what Elgort said before the game. His teammates were struggling to advance and counterattack, but he began to actively slow down and control the rhythm without rushing.

Zhou Tiancheng's choice was actually not in line with the thoughts of most of his teammates on the field, but at this time Elgort tried his best to shout from the sidelines: Everyone come back, come back to support Zhou!

There were not many spectators in the youth league, so Elgort's shouting effect was very good, and Zhou Tiancheng immediately had two more support points around him.

Kroos, who had just been robbed, appeared behind Zhou Tiancheng at this time,

He felt that he was careless when the ball was intercepted just now, so he tried his best to kick from behind, even at the risk of losing the card, he still wanted to steal the ball back to save some face.

However, things backfired. Zhou Tiancheng always seemed to act half a beat faster than him, passing a short pass to his teammate who retreated in advance. What was even more unacceptable to him was that Zhou Tiancheng and two other Schalke players were standing right next to him. In front of him, he did five small-scale back and forth in a row. It is exactly the same as the small-scale short-pass practice around the pile in the training.

It's like walking a dog and teasing a monkey!

However, Zhou Tiancheng sent a very clear signal with his actions: grind slowly, don't rush.

No need to think about playing like this, Schalke players will play more and more relaxed, but the impatience of Bayern players who have been unable to get the ball for a long time will quickly spread like the plague.

Bayern is the best youth academy in the Bundesliga and the only giant in Germany. This situation is obviously not enough to stump them. As long as they maintain an offensive posture, they will have many established tactical routines to use.

But now Schalke's partial back and forth fast short passes make Bayern's U19 coach very weak, and there is a feeling of playing against Barcelona's La Masia youth academy.

It is also thanks to Zhou Tiancheng who took Elgort's words to heart before the game, and pinched Bayern's seven inches accurately on the spot.

You are strong and you are strong, the ball is in my hands, how else can you play?

The more Zhou Tiancheng controls the ball, the more confident he becomes. Now he really understands why Elgort puts so much emphasis on game control. Now in the leading situation, pass the ball more and lose the ball less once, the closer you are to the championship!

Moreover, such possession is enough to kill the opponent's fighting spirit. Zhou Tiancheng also has a certain amount of game experience now. He predicts that a championship-level team like Bayern can tolerate being behind in the score, but they absolutely can't stand being controlled by the opponent.

And what Zhou Tiancheng wants is exactly this, he wants to hold the initiative in his own hands, and at the same time, control the fate of the other party!

The first half of the game had no tactical value for a long time, but the Schalke players enjoyed it, Elgert was relieved, the Bayern U19 coach was anxious, and the Bayern players on the field were...crazy!

How crazy are you? Can you imagine that a giant as strong as Bayern actually has signs of infighting on the spot? !

Compared with others, the most anxious person is Bayern's sharp striker Thomas Muller. The game has been played so far, and he has no chance to play his own characteristics, and he can bear it. But he couldn't accept it for nearly twenty minutes, and he didn't even touch the hair of the ball. And I have worked hard to come back to assist in the defense, but it still doesn't help. Kroos and central defender Badstuber took turns to surround Zhou Tiancheng, but Zhou Tiancheng used the combination of man-ball skills and sense of rhythm to play around.

SHIT! Won't you just bring him down? Thomas Muller didn't dare to get angry at captain Kroos, so he took the opportunity to growl at central defender Badstuber.

PS: There is no more than 50 meters from the middle circle to the penalty area on the court. Yesterday’s chapter was too exciting, so I wrote it quickly. Thank you for your suggestions. It has been revised
