Grassroots Glory

After Zhou Tiancheng accepted the interview, he returned directly to his residence, while Xu Jing and his interview team sorted out the interview materials and sent them back to China by email as soon as possible.

This interview is just a task for Zhou Tiancheng, he has no time to care about the reaction in the domestic media and fan circles. His football career itself has no intersection with domestic football. To be honest, even he himself was a little surprised when he attracted the attention of the media in his home country before he had fully established his reputation. But this made him pay more attention to maintaining his current fairly good momentum.

At any rate, he is considered a genius in the eyes of others. Although Zhou Tiancheng has long heard that domestic media, especially sports reporters, are particularly good at exaggeration, this has made him pay more attention to self-motivation.

Thinking of his upcoming debut in the Champions League against an opponent like Atletico Madrid, the strings in Zhou Tiancheng's mind are always tense. Don't look at him with his eyes closed on the surface and entering a light sleep state, in fact he has fully activated the system , and began to get acquainted with this opponent in all directions.

Zhou Tiancheng thought that Atletico Madrid must be a tough nut to crack, but the system expanded the list of Atletico Madrid. There were many stars, from goalkeepers to forwards, and there were a lot of Spanish players who participated in the last World Cup. , Argentina international. Such a lineup means that La Liga is dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona. If they switch to the Bundesliga, they will probably be able to compete with Bayern.

Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help but opened his eyes and smiled wryly, he was really lucky, the first Champions League opponent was so strong. He understands that the stronger the opponent, the higher the gold content, but Zhou Tiancheng is used to making some bad plans before going on the field.

The system administrator Qidan Harvey suddenly communicated with Zhou Tiancheng by voice: Since the new season of La Liga has not yet started, Atlético de Madrid has changed a lot overall, and the video simulation function is of little reference value. The system will help the host through voice broadcasting. Get to know this strange opponent as soon as possible, hoping to help the host's Champions League debut.

Atletico Madrid's current coach is the Mexican Javier Aguirre. In his tactics, Atletico Madrid's regular formation is 4-4-2. Although it is not as delicate as Barcelona, ​​it is also pursuing ground control, and The level is higher than that of Schalke 04, where the host is currently located. In addition, fast counterattack is also a major feature of the opponent, but its main central defender Pablo Ibanez has a slow recovery speed, and the right back Saitaridis is close. The state has declined significantly in the two seasons, and the defense is not unavoidable, and the host can make more use of it on the spot...

Zhou Tiancheng snorted softly, it's easy to deal with if he has weaknesses, and he doesn't have to be too handy when dealing with central defenders who are slow to chase back.

...

As the top club competition in the world, the influence and appeal of the UEFA Champions League is indeed much stronger than that of the five major leagues. When Zhou Tiancheng walked into the stadium, he found that the atmosphere in the stands was even stronger than the last league match against Hannover 96 In the center of the court, there is not only a huge picture of the ball boy pulling up the UEFA Champions League ball as a simple appearance ceremony, but also the theme song of the UEFA Champions League - League (Chinese means Champions League), which is played in English on the big screen in a loop. , German and French mixed songs have become another classic element outside of the Champions League. At this moment, Zhou Tiancheng was on the scene, and the familiar melody rang in his ears for the first time.

Ce sont les meilleures équipes (France) they are the best team

Sie sind die allerbesten Mannschaften (Germany) they are the ultimate team

The main event (English) the most important event

Die Meister (Germany) Victorious Division

Die Besten (Germany) King's Division

Les Grandes équipes (France) great team

The (British) champion

Une grande ré (French) a grand party

Eine große sportliche Veranstaltung (Germany) a great sporting event

The main event (English) the most important event

Ils sont les meilleurs (France) they are the strongest

Sie sind die Besten (German) they are invincible

These are the (English) they are the champions

Die Meister (Germany) Victorious Division

Die Besten (Germany) King's Division

Les Grandes équipes (France) great team

The (British) champion

...

Every line of this song reveals the passion of pursuing victory and championship,

Although Zhou Tiancheng didn't fully understand some of the sentences, this melody suddenly aroused his determination to conquer.

And in this game, Slomka directly gave him the chance to start the game. One is that his efficient performance in his league debut has further deepened the trust of the coaching staff. In addition, facing a La Liga team like Atletico Madrid, Kobyashvili is injured and absent, only he and Kristajic's playing style able to support such a high-intensity confrontation.

It's not that Slomka doesn't trust Rakitic's ability, but it's obviously unwise to compete with his feet in front of La Liga teams.

Slomka is still based on himself in the first round at home. Except for the passive fine-tuning of the midfield, the starting lineup has generally not changed much. As a guest, Atletico Madrid's starting formation is 4-4-2. After a season, coach Aguirre still uses this formation.

When the Atletico Madrid players stood in the middle circle to kick off, Zhou Tiancheng paid attention to the small forward on the opponent's front line.

Zhou Tiancheng hadn't heard of his name much, but whether it was the system or the head coach Slomka, they all reminded him to pay attention to this person. Last year's European Golden Boy winner Sergio Aguero.

Zhou Tiancheng recalled for a while, he did remember Messi in the 2006 World Cup, but he didn't remember him at all. As for the European Golden Boy Award, Zhou Tiancheng was also a little strange. He had heard of the Golden Globes.

But as long as he can get the UEFA award, it should not be easy to prove that he should. Zhou Tiancheng paid special attention to him because of this, and he would be very interested in asking for advice if he had a chance to confront him head-on later.

Perhaps because he noticed that someone was looking at him, Aguero turned his head and met Zhou Tiancheng's gaze. There was a flash of surprise and astonishment in his eyes. Zhou Tiancheng thought he was looking for trouble, for example, what are you looking at? , or a little vigilance on his face is normal, but the other party smiled at him instead.

Zhou Tiancheng thought to himself: This person is interesting! Could it be a smiling tiger?

...

At 9:45 p.m. in Berlin, Germany, Turkish referee Kakir gave a long whistle to signal the start of the game, and the visiting team Atletico Madrid took the lead.

Atletico Madrid quickly set up an offensive formation, and it seems that they are not conservative at all because of the away game. After all, in the home and away two-round game, the temptation of away goals is huge. It is enough for Atletico Madrid, who is used to defensive counterattacks in La Liga, to take a stance against Schalke 04.

Zhou Tiancheng immediately approached the Portuguese midfielder Maniche and tried to steal the ball, but the opponent directly picked it up with his instep and passed it to the front. Zhou Tiancheng looked back and saw that No. 10 Aguero in red and white jersey was like a sharp sword Getting out from Höwedes, Westermann did not restrain him at the first time, and was overtaken directly. If he continues to accelerate, Schalke's defense is very likely to be completely killed in seconds, and it is at stake...
