Grassroots Glory

Vol 2 Chapter 35: This is Anfield

Sixty minutes into the game, Schalke 04 expanded the score to 2:0. Magath held a cheek gang on the sideline for a while, and finally made up his mind to replace Hasebe Hasebe who had already received the yellow card. Another Asian player, Iranian international Dejaga played. Dejaga is an all-rounder in the frontcourt. He can play with a midfielder, attacking midfielder, full-back and forward. Today Magath positioned him in one of the three midfielders. His offensive attributes are significantly higher than Hasebe, In the last half hour, Magath prepared to use the midfield offensive dual-core for the final stroke.

   "June Hase was replaced... Huh~ He is too tired today and can finally rest."

   Seeing this substitution, Maeda Jianping was relieved in the heart of the front commentary. Hasebe's performance today was completely a disaster. He finally didn't need to see his country's players being abused on the court.

  The Iranian national television commentary saw Dejaga getting a chance to play, and he was very excited. They seemed to be confident that Dejaga could play the bench.

Magat played Dejaga in this period, and from the scene, it did play a certain role. Dejaga may not be much more technically capable than Hasebe, but the Persians' tough style is that they are in full The signboard of the world is the same in all fields. Dejaga obviously inherited this traditional style. He has technology at his feet, but he is equally active in the midfield fight, and the physical confrontation is slightly stronger than Hasebe. At least he After playing, Wolfsburg gradually formed a balance in the midfield competition. Of course, this is also directly related to Schalke voluntarily shrinking and reducing the pressure after the two goals lead.

However, it is not useful to pull back a certain initiative on the scene. Zhou Tiancheng and Rakitic shrink at the same time in front of the central defender. The two layers of defense are close and tight. Wolfsburg wants to tear the opening, whether it is through the ground to conduct or send I hope Yu Zheke's high-altitude bombing does not yet have such strength.

After three minutes of injury stoppage time, Bruch pointed his hands at the middle circle to end the game. Slomka, who won the key battle, had a spring breeze, while Magath was gloomy. He took the initiative to take responsibility after the press conference: " The players did not play to their level, but this is my reason. Today they tactically restrained us, but this is only the first round. Back at home, we will play a more beautiful football."

   The focus of the reporters is not on the losers. Such a motivational statement does not know how much they have heard, or the winners are more valuable.

  It is worth mentioning that today there are a lot of British journalists on the scene. Of course, they are not here to pay attention to the game itself, but to spy on the military for Liverpool.

When it comes to the upcoming UEFA Champions League group stage, Sloemka looks a lot more cautious: "Liverpool naturally do not need evaluation, their glorious history is the best comment, we are about to face a great team, and Be a guest at Anfield. This will be the most difficult game and we are ready to accept all the results."

Sloemka puts his posture very low, but the German media is not as pessimistic as Germany’s largest newspaper, Pictorial, mentioned when looking forward to this matchup: "Milko Sloemka may be more convinced. The mourning victory philosophy, but there is no need to be pessimistic at all. Liverpool’s midfield and frontcourt configuration is very powerful, but their back line is not flawless. The back space of the pair of high school defenders Carragher and Hypia, Shar Ke 04 can make full use of it to make a fuss."

   The German media is very faithful to offer advice on defeating Liverpool. However, it is difficult to say whether it is ultimately to help Schalke 04 or to help the team by revealing the opponent’s weaknesses in this way.

  ……

Although Zhou Tiancheng knew that there would be many challenges in the expedition to Anfield, the moment he actually landed in Liverpool, the home team fans "greeted warmly" at the airport. Although they were stopped outside the boundary line, they did not act too aggressively, but Hundreds of people chanted "ThisisAnfeld" in unison at the same time, (here is Anfield), the close decibel still made Zhou Tiancheng's heartbeat slam, this is the first time he saw this scene, even in the Ruhr Derby, Dortmund The fans did not mess around with the bus, the England fans seemed to be more fanatical. But he looked back at Rakitic. Instead of being nervous, he showed some freshness and excitement. Zhou Tiancheng quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath for two seconds, forcing himself to adapt quickly.

   This is Anfield! This slogan is the same as the song "You Never Walk Alone", which is well known in the football world.

An hour before the game, the Schalke team took the visiting coach to the stadium on Anfield Road. The name of this stadium was originally derived from the name of this small street, but now the word has been completely linked to Liverpool~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the passageway in front of the stadium locker room, the striking slogan "Here is Anfield" is also hung. Liverpool legendary Bill Shankley has personally created a well-known quote. Liverpool's generations of players will remember who they are fighting for when they see this slogan. At the same time, for the visiting team from afar, this is also a declaration of victory to defend the home court.

   In the visiting team's locker room, Sloemka closed the door to isolate the interference of the home fans outside, glanced around all the players' faces, and suddenly stared at Zhou Tiancheng and asked, "Chou, can we win today?"

   "Ah... Yes!" Zhou Tiancheng replied like a conditioned reflex.

   "The reason?" Slomka continued to question.

"Uh, I think we... are stronger." Zhou Tiancheng's brain is running fast. He is not a Liverpool fan. Except for Gerrard, he is not familiar with the changes of Liverpool in these two seasons. Wan Jinyou answer.

Slomka’s eyes became a bit interesting. He didn’t plan to let Zhou Tiancheng go. Then he asked, “If Gerald and you are one-on-one, are you confident? Where does your confidence come from? ?"

  Zhou Tiancheng raised the amount for three seconds and replied: "I know him, he may not understand me. This is my chance. He is very strong, but he always tries to win or lose."

Slomka nodded, moved his eyes away from Zhou Tiancheng, and raised his tone to emphasize to everyone: "Have you heard? Do what Zhou said! Show your strength! Even if you lose this, the initiative to go out will still be What pressure do you have in our hands? Only active offensive can cause trouble, take our posture! We are the Bundesliga first, it’s time to show their fans the highest strength of the Bundesliga, here is Anfield, but today we It’s just to capture here!"
