Chapter 111: The Man Who Shines at Schalke

Seeing Zhou Tiancheng throw such a murderous kick while losing his center of gravity, the most confusing thing is the French little black Jackson Mendy who was marking him...Of course, the little black mainly refers to him He was born in 1987 and is 22 years old this year. This is his debut season in the Bundesliga. In terms of Bundesliga experience, Zhou Tiancheng, who is two years younger than him, is considered a junior.

Although he has a height of 1.92 meters tall, he obviously suffered from too little experience in defending this time. If he can take advantage of Zhou Tiancheng's unstable center of gravity and take a step forward, it is impossible for Zhou Tiancheng to have Chances for backhicks passed.

But Schalke was unlucky. Asamoah broke through South Korean defender Cha Doo-ri on the left side of the penalty area and then shot out of the bottom line on the outside of the left post.

"Oh, what a pity. Asamoah's shot was a hair's breadth away. But it's just a little bit of luck. The good news is that the cooperation between the two is very familiar. Zhou Tiancheng can now know Asa without looking at anyone. Which position Moah will run to depends entirely on the pass and cut coordination, which is rare when Kuranyi is on the court."

It's not that Duan Xuan deliberately promoted Zhou Tiancheng and belittled Kuranyi, this is a fact. Although Kuranyi is an excellent frontcourt fulcrum, he can only make regular passes. In fact, he is more inclined to shooters. Passes like this were basically impossible to see among the striker trio in the past. .

The knock on the mountain at the beginning of the game prompted Freiburg to strengthen the double-teaming of Zhou Tiancheng. In the 4-4-2 formation, the double midfielders were completely tightened. He takes the ball comfortably, while DRC international Machiadi is good at running and has a wide range of sweeps. The main task is to sweep away the receiving points around Zhou Tiancheng.

Now all Bundesliga teams, even newly promoted players like Freiburg, know that there is only one task in the match against Schalke 04: to keep an eye on Zhou Tiancheng.

Wherever Zhou Tiancheng is, the opponent's defensive center of gravity will be brought there.

In this way, a lot of space was created for Rakitic. Zhou Tiancheng almost helped him to empty the defense of the midfielder. Whether it was a long-range shot from outside the penalty area or a large-scale transfer to the wing, there was enough space.

Rakitic's running distance in the midfield is large enough. He knows that the heavy responsibility of the team's midfield will fall on his shoulders, but the sudden huge space in the midfield makes him unprepared to receive the ball outside the penalty area. The first reaction is to take a long shot.

This is still the instinctive reaction of young players, or they are more eager to score goals. Although Rakitic had many bright spots last season, his goals were in single digits-only five goals. Zhou Tiancheng scored more than twice as many goals as him.

And he has this ability, and he wants to express himself, which is understandable. But the accuracy is really bad.

In the first half hour, Rakitic shot four shots from long distances, all of which flew into the stands.

"Ivan, are you here to fire anti-aircraft guns? Is it okay to shoot from a long distance and press the ball? At least hit the goal range, don't keep contributing to the audience!"

It's normal for Zhou Tiancheng to be a little dissatisfied. After all, Rakitic made a wild shot, and his hard work with the defenders in front was wasted.

Having said that, now he really understands why forwards especially like midfielders who are selfless and feed the ball accurately, so how much trouble will be saved!

On the other hand, Rakitic's four-footed shot also surrendered the ball four times. The Freiburg players are very aware of the preciousness of the ball, so the goalkeeper did not blindly attack with big feet, but passed a short pass to the central defender, then a short pass to the left back, and then pushed to the foot of the left midfielder...

Freiburg's attack is mainly along the wing, and the left midfielder Kaligiuri is here.

Although Caligiuri's pace of adapting to the Bundesliga is relatively slow, and his performance in the first two games is obviously not as good as that of Chen Pengfei who made way for him to the right, but who gives him an advantage of origin!

As the absolute core of the 89-year-old Freiburg U19 echelon, Caligiuri is naturally trained by the club, so the first-team coach Dutt does not hesitate to give him a lot of opportunities.

All small and medium clubs in the Bundesliga do this. When they have accumulated enough experience in the game, they will sell them to the rich to cash out after training, and then invest this part of the money in youth training. This is their way of survival.

As far as the overall situation on the field is concerned, this is not a rational and wise choice. Facing Rafinha, who has three seasons of Bundesliga experience and is not weaker than him, Caligiuri only succeeded twice in the first half. The efficiency is really low and touching.

Moreover, these two passes did not pose a threat, and Holtby made up the defense in time to destroy the ball.

But what makes Dutt a little easier is that he didn't concede a goal in the half game. The team's luck seems to be very good today. The away goal is very helpful.

The fans who proudly went to the Schalke Stadium were very annoyed. They didn't know how their goal in the right half suddenly "betrayed" and became the opponent's best twelfth man.

The halftime siege failed, and Magath in the midfield lounge could only emphasize that the formation continued to press forward, and indeed there was no move. A set of starters was lined up, and the only ones left were Altintop and Jones. And Jiang Hao.

But the last hole card, how can there be any reason to play it at the beginning of the second half?

And Magath just thought that the two wingers were really not in good shape, so he changed the roles of the strikers in midfield: Asamoah and Farfan were only responsible for breakthroughs, kicking high balls in the middle, and handing them over to Zhou Tiancheng. Smash the ball down!

The so-called simple way, complex coordination and advancement cannot open the situation, it is better to try the simplest tactics, even if it is to create chaos, to win in chaos, as long as you can win, it is reasonable.

As a result, Schalke 04's corner kick data skyrocketed in the second half. And every corner kick, Westerman and Holtby overwhelmed the frontcourt.

Freiburg naturally understood that Zhou Tiancheng's height was the biggest threat, so he was surrounded by two people at all times, but Zhou Tiancheng could not be completely restrained like this.

In the ninth corner kick in the second half, Zhou Tiancheng used Holtby's cover to separate Mendy, who was the most threatening, and went around to the front of the penalty area and directly shook his head to hit the near corner.

Everyone thought that this time it was a sure thing, and Zhou Tiancheng himself thought so. The audience was ready to jump up and celebrate, but the opponent's midfielder Machiadhi was standing on the goal line, and the bouncing header that hit the ground just happened to be caught. He made a big-footed clearance.

Schalke fans sighed, just about to sit down and watch the next wave of offensive.

Before you know it, it's already 70 minutes.

And at this moment, a scene that worried them happened on the field.

The ball, which was supposed to be 100% out of bounds, was hooked back by the Freiburg winger on the sideline, and then he forcibly accelerated to throw away the left back Bordon. Schalke's backcourt!

Duan Xuan suddenly exclaimed: "Freiburg's counterattack! Chen Pengfei sprints with the ball! He has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to express himself!"

This time, Schalke 04 paid the price for the hasty collective pressure. The back line is completely unable to retreat. Even if Magath usually sprints hard, it is useless at this time. The key is that Chen Pengfei's speed is not slow. Most of the backing players have just passed the middle circle, and Chen Pengfei has already reached the front of the penalty area. Hewedes, who is behind, can only make up for himself, but Chen Pengfei deliberately paused for a second. After knowing the position of Hewedes, he made a strong inward cut and accelerated into the penalty area. Facing Neuer, he hit the goal from a small angle. The ball took the dead corner of the near corner and the ball was very fast. Neuer was two millimeters short of the ball, but two millimeters short...

"Ah? This...Freiburg is ahead! Wow, Chen Pengfei rode thousands of miles and scored the goal of the Bundesliga champion!"

No wonder the Schalke fans couldn't react at this time. They watched the Freiburg players surround Chen Pengfei and punch the stands in celebration.

Even Duan Xuan couldn't believe it was real!

But even so, although there was no applause at the scene, all the commentary and broadcast footage recorded Chen Pengfei's face.

Tonight he was the most unexpected sparkle at the Schalke Stadium.
