Chapter 14: Something More Awesome Than First Show Assists

Be careful! Sergio Aguero started sprinting, the new winner of the European Golden Boy Award, speed is his ultimate move! Marcel Leif said deeply worried.

Slomka and Aguirre stood up almost at the same time, but their moods and starting points were completely different. Aguirre clenched his fists with anticipation in his eyes, and he could vent as much as he could when Aguero succeeded in single-handedly breaking through. On the other hand, Slomka, on the other hand, did not expect that the well-established defense line would be directly passed by a key figure whom he had repeatedly emphasized to guard against. He stood on the sidelines and shouted to the field with all his strength: Quick, go back! Go back! !

This attack and defense can be said to be a watershed. If Atletico Madrid's blitz in the opening game is successful and they have an away goal in hand, Schalke 04 will be very passive. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have one foot on the edge of a cliff.

In addition to the strikers, Schalke's midfield and defense are almost all chasing back. The two big men, Höwedes and Westermann, are the most active. They dig holes and fill them by themselves. They are still very conscious. But the two are not good at speed. After chasing for more than ten meters, they found that the gap has not narrowed in despair. Some things are really talented, even if they want to, they are powerless.

Goalkeeper Neuer had already abandoned the goal and attacked, and Hewedes and Westerman had a little bit of hope.

The two of them already wanted to give up and hand over all their hopes to Neuer, but at this moment, Hewedes felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a blue figure flashed past him, heading towards the front. Aguero approached quickly.

When Hewedes saw No. 12 behind him, he instantly realized that this...is Zhou Tiancheng? At this moment, he felt that Zhou Tiancheng's speed was obviously faster than when he was U19.

Seeing how desperate Zhou Tiancheng was, Hewedes raised his energy and chased back.

The midfielders are all playing like this, is there any reason for the central defender not to do his best? To put it bluntly, this is my own job. To put it bluntly, do you have the nerve to let your teammates pay for the mistakes you made?

Now Zhou Tiancheng has become the most tenacious defensive player in Schalke 04, and the Schalke fans are all focused on him. In this situation, they can't give out cheers, which will only encourage the opponent, so I can only cheer for Zhou Tiancheng in my heart.

Aguero took the lead, Zhou Tiancheng concentrated all his explosive power, and narrowed the gap little by little. At the same time, Neuer had already run near the penalty area line, looking at him solemnly.

In fact, if Aguero has a good view of the overall situation, he only needs to push the ball to the far end at this time. On the other side, Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan is also quickly plugging in, and he can directly hit the goal with a pass. But in the final analysis, young players are more obsessed with scoring goals, and everyone wants to be a hero. So he chose to continue dribbling the ball forward, not paying any attention to the fact that there was an interception in front and chasing after.

Moreover, when he sprinted in front of Neuer, he wanted to continue to change direction and pass Neuer directly. He didn't notice that Zhou Tiancheng, who was only one step behind him, had already taken another step up at this moment.

Aguero changed the direction of the ball with his ankle very quickly, and Neuer couldn't keep up with his change of direction at all. This scene made the hearts of the home fans sink suddenly.

However, the next situation was not as they thought, because when Zhou Tiancheng was chasing back, he observed Aguero's forward movement, and had already understood his intention, and moved to the left in advance. When the position, just suitable for shovel interception.

Aguero saw the big empty goal in front of him, and he was already celebrating the first goal of the new season in his heart, but when he kicked down, it felt like he just kicked into the air!

Where's the ball?

Aguero looked up and looked at the ball rolling out of the baseline with an unbelievable expression on his face!

It was actually shoveled off! And I haven't been brought down yet, so I put the shovel without any controversy!

Aguero looked back blankly, and saw Zhou Tiancheng sitting on the ground panting heavily.

Although Zhou Tiancheng was exhausted by chasing after his life this time,

At this moment, he felt like he was going to lose his strength, but it has to be said that after a period of first-team training, the acceleration ability value has reached 80, which still has a qualitative change in his improvement in speed. If it was in the past, even if Zhou Tiancheng tried his best, he would not be able to do it.

But at least hearing the crazy cheers of the home fans, Zhou Tiancheng feels that he can save the team from danger, which is still a very good feeling.

Neuer, Howedes and Westermann came up and embraced Zhou Tiancheng in the middle, thanking the biggest contributor like a goal.

Zhou Tiancheng's pursuit this time was indeed too thrilling, but he looked back at the whole process without delay. Every step was so reasonable and powerful, and the commentators in the stands had to be convinced. Marcel Leff is naturally the whole (climax) (tide), and at this moment he let go of his voice and shouted: Ahhhhhh! God! Unbelievable! Atletico Madrid's attack was sudden enough, but Zhou, he seemed to be Ballack at this moment In his league debut a few days ago, he scored the first goal in the Bundesliga. It can be said that the opponent is weak, but this defense is simply a textbook for B2B midfielders. Apart from absolute strength, there is no better explanation. His Appearing once again proves the strong background of Schalke's youth training.

Also stunned was the Spanish commentator Juan Picci of Madrid TV, but after a while he found an excuse and said stiffly: This ball...is just a coincidence. Aguirre's opening tactics are correct. I believe The winner must be Atletico Madrid!

Perhaps his confidence comes from the fact that Atletico Madrid has not yet started the league and has better physical reserves, but he overlooked one point. Schalke has never been an opponent that can be underestimated at home, even if it is as strong as Barcelona. In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, here is only a 1:0 victory.

At the Schalke Stadium, the visiting team generally has only two choices: prepare for a protracted battle to the end, or quickly establish a large score advantage, otherwise the initiative of the game will eventually return to Schalke 04.

This is the situation now. Atletico Madrid's opening pursuit of the blitzkrieg failed, but indirectly helped Schalke 04 quickly enter the state. The three lines moved forward as a whole and began to implement high-level oppression. Of course, Zhou Tiancheng's role in it is crucial. His field partners, Kristajic and Gustavo Barrera, are more like the two generals beside him. They may be less able to attack and organize, but they have excellent physical fitness and are good at running. Slomka's original intention is to let The two of them did the dirty work of running and stealing. Zhou Tiancheng mainly did the somewhat technical work of sending threatening balls to the strikers. Although I didn't expect Zhou Tiancheng's first bright spot to be different from his own role today. However, returning to the normal state, the division of labor is gradually clarified, and the beauty of Slomka's on-the-spot formation is gradually reflected. At least the collocation and division of labor on the field combine the characteristics of the players just right. And this aspect is exactly the difference between Slomka as a European coach and Aguirre as an American coach.

European coaches are good at kneading the whole and integrating the characteristics of the players into the team's tactical system. What stands out is the individual.

This actually represents the different football philosophies of Europe and America, and there is no advantage or disadvantage. However, in terms of the record of the match, since the beginning of the new century, American coaches have gradually fallen behind.

Today's football is based on a tactical system. There are only a handful of players like Ronaldo who can subvert a team in this era. Strictly speaking, only Ronaldo is one person. Even Messi, if he leaves Barcelona's legend Control system, if he switches to a Premier League team, he is still a star, but I am afraid it will be difficult to have a regular top-level performance.

Specific to this game, with the development of the situation, it slowly showed that Schalke had obviously restrained Atletico Madrid in the overall tactics. After 15 minutes of opening, Schalke basically controlled the midfield, and the combination of side and center took turns. Bombing Atletico Madrid's restricted area, and Atletico Madrid's sporadic counterattacks can only be handed over to Aguero and Diego Forlan on the front line to solve on their own. As the initiative of the game changed, Aguirre temporarily succumbed to the softness and returned Aguero's position to the arc of the middle circle, hoping to allow him to get more balls and give full play to his ability to dribble and advance.

And Aguero's position has been withdrawn, and it is inevitable to confront Zhou Tiancheng head-on again. This time Aguero decisively chose to go it alone one-on-one! At that moment just now, he felt that he was just careless, and the skills at his feet are the capital on which Argentine players rely. He did not believe that Zhou Tiancheng could not be dealt with with his natural ball sense.

Aguero made two feints in a row, and then wanted to do a slightly humiliating crotch piercing. As a result, Zhou Tiancheng saw the timing and touched the ball lightly with his toes. The ball slowed down on the spot. Zhou Tiancheng took a step forward, not only Blocked the opponent's further offensive and kept the ball in place.

Haha! Beautiful defense, Zhou...

Before Marcel Leff finished speaking, Zhou Tiancheng directly sent a precise long pass to the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid. Kuranyi understood it, and directly used his flexibility to get rid of Pablo Ibanez and reached out first among the many players. Headed out, very suddenly, directly into the lower right corner of the goal.

This goal immediately set off a heat wave at the Schalke Stadium. Kuranyi also did not forget the well-digger, and immediately waved to Zhou Tiancheng excitedly. A group of people frantically gestured to the home fans near the corner flag area The victory gesture, and the fans responded with even louder cheers.

Except for the Spanish commentator, the commentators from other European countries are in a frenzy. At the same time, more media reporting on the spot have already thought about the focus of attention after the game.

Kuranyi, who scored the goal, is naturally the hero. Zhou Tiancheng should be praised for his assists in his Champions League debut. These things will be reflected in the personal account of UEFA's official statistics.

But the most newsworthy thing should be...Schalke rookie Zhou Tiancheng beat the golden boy Aguero twice one-on-one!

It sounds like this is the most eye-catching news. Zhou Tiancheng still doesn't know that he has already made the most outstanding talent under the age of 21 in European clubs suffer twice. When he was still happy to send himself an assist, he didn't know that he had already done something more awesome than this.
