Grassroots Glory

Vol 2 Chapter 80: Don't look in the eyes

The Bundesliga has always been the first to uncover the championship suspense in the top five leagues. When Bayern is at its peak, it is commonplace to win two or three rounds or even four or five rounds in advance. This year Schalke o4 is very likely to continue this glorious tradition.

In the next few rounds, their opponents were Mönchengladbach, Hertha Berlin, Hoffenheim, and Stuttgart, whose momentum dropped significantly in the second half. Not surprisingly, winning the championship is also a matter of these two rounds.

At the same time, the situation in the other major leagues is different.

In La Liga, Barcelona lead Real Madrid by five points in the first thirty-two rounds. Since there are four more rounds in the La Liga than the Bundesliga, with six rounds remaining, it cannot be said that they have secured the championship.

Serie A Inter Milan is a great ride, leading the second place AC Milan has as much as ten advantages, basically the same as Schalke o4, ended the suspense of the league champion in advance.

Others such as Dutch Armor, Ligue 1, and the leader have already reached double-digit advantages.

The good news for Schalke is that although Manchester United has always occupied the position of the British list, Liverpool behind them has also maintained a catch-up momentum. The current distance is only a ball gap. And Manchester United's recent state has been ups and downs, and the Gelsenkirchen media has captured a key piece of data. In the last five league games, Manchester United have conceded goals in every game. Even in the face of relegation teams like Wigan, it proves that Manchester United has a lot of defensive fluctuations during this time.

And this is just a little chance for Schalke to be weak.

The home and away order of the Champions League semi-finals no longer requires a lottery, but is determined based on the European War Points (including the Champions League and the UEFA Cup) of the past five seasons. The side with the highest points has the advantage of servicing before servicing. Obviously, as the defending champion, Manchester United have a higher European war score than Schalke, so they played away first in the round, and mainstream European media like the "Sun" and "French Football" think that the round is the only chance for Schalke. . Even local German media like "Kicker" magazine is not optimistic-if Schalke o4 can't win at home, it will be extremely dangerous to go to Old Trafford for the next round. So far, Manchester United have scored 13 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at home this season, with a win rate of more than 80%. At the level of the Champions League, they are unbeaten at home!

But on the contrary, Manchester United did not show a unique momentum, so Zhou Tiancheng said in an interview with domestic media that he was still very domineering: "Manchester United is very strong, but are our home results worse?"

...

Two days before the game, as Ferguson led Manchester United stars to Gelsenkirchen, a large number of media began to become active, located at the Schalke training base next to the Schalke Stadium, and at the entrance of the hotel where the Manchester United team stayed There have been many journalists with Asian faces who are chasing different goals.

It was naturally Chinese journalists who came to watch Schalke's preparations, and they continued to observe Zhou Tiancheng's state.

Although the team’s tactical training is unlikely to be open to the media to prevent tactical leaks, they saw Zhou Tiancheng’s practice of positioning the ball several times. From the gap between the two overlapping wooden boards, the ball passed easily and passed the board. Falling, even Neuer, who was tall and long, couldn't catch up with such a sudden fall.

Chinese reporters on the sidelines exclaimed.

"Good! Can this ball be replaced by Van der Sar?" Someone asked this question in a shift.

"It's definitely not a play! Do you think that the current Van der Sar can be as powerful as Neuer? Defensive direct free kick, experience is useless!"

There are also peers who are familiar with each other whispering to exchange the real highlights of this game.

"Zhou Tiancheng is in such a good state. He has a dozen fights against Park Ji Sung."

"A dozen hits? Old Liu, as you mean, Park Ji-sung is equal to Zhou Tiancheng? You are too good to lift the stick, Zhou Tiancheng crushes him is not a problem!" Xu Jing took the sentence next to him.

"Sports Weekly" reporter old Liu looked at Xu Jing and replied: "Xiao Xu, I know you have contacted Zhou Tiancheng, he is indeed a rare genius, but Park Zhixing is not so weak? Zhou Tiancheng is still not to be underestimated. "

"Old Liu, shall we make a bet?"

Old Liu quickly waved his hand, and the good man did not fight with the woman: "It's not even a bet, friends, it's not appropriate to win or lose. Besides, I don't support Park Ji-sung. I want to see the stick-like expression more than you."

The reason why this game attracts so many Asian media is precisely the attention of the Chinese and Korean media. The existence of Zhou Tiancheng and Park Zhixing is a big reason. Moreover, the main positions of the two are in the midfield. Once they are present at the same time, it is likely to directly talk.

Park Chi-sung is currently the highest-achieving Asian player in Europe. Zhou Tiancheng has the fastest rise this season, and his thigh-level performance in the Champions League. Many European mainstream media have regarded him as the top star in European football. The confrontation between the two represents the confrontation between the top foreign players in China and South Korea. This is another level of confrontation outside the national team, and it is naturally highly concerned. Especially Chinese journalists who can't find comfort in the national team, but also hope that Zhou Tiancheng can find his place in personal confrontation.

Although it was not possible to film the whole journey, the reporters did not leave. They all remained quietly outside the training base. Zhou Tiancheng came out and everyone came up.

Zhou Tiancheng's face changed, and subconsciously accelerated his pace. Xu Jing saw Zhou Tiancheng going to slip again, and immediately shouted: "Zhou Tiancheng, there is a problem!"

When Zhou Tiancheng heard a familiar voice, he stopped and turned back. Many reporters immediately seized the opportunity and rushed forward again.

"Zhou Tiancheng, playing Manchester United at home, in your opinion, how sure?"

"How does the team plan to deal with Ronaldo and Rooney?"

...

Facing the twitter of a group of reporters, Zhou Tiancheng put out a finger: "A question. I see you have been waiting for a long time, but I am sorry, I still have to prepare for the game, and the energy is definitely not as good as everyone, so there is only one question. The rest To the game to answer."

Many reporters shook their heads helplessly, Zhou Tiancheng was good everywhere, but it was too difficult to wait for an interview.

However, as journalists, they are also used to meeting various interviewees. At this time, they can only pick the things they care about most and go straight to the topic.

No one was robbing Xu Jing this time. If UU Kanshu read www.uukanshu.com, if it wasn't for her, everyone would wait here in vain.

"Zhou Tiancheng, we are very concerned about how you think you will play against Park Ji Sung? After all, this is the top star in Asia."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled, swept the reporters in front of him, and gently smiled: "It seems that all the reporters present are Chinese reporters, then I will tell you the truth. I thought you were going to ask me questions about Ronaldo and Rooney. Threatening people. As for Park Ji-sung...A player who depends on physical strength, is it necessary to be so nervous?"

All reporters looked at each other, and they all saw the accident from the other party's face. This is not the first time Zhou Tiancheng has despised his opponent strategically. He had previously dismissed Hasebe, but he later used his performance to prove that Hasebe was indeed not his opponent. But in the face of Asia's top midfielder, is there still confidence that doesn't look in the eyes?

ps: the phone is broken in the afternoon, take it for repair, the update is late, sorry
