Chapter 166 The Germans Will Not Win Any Victories in Moscow

In the eighth minute of the first half, CSKA Moscow created the closest chance to score.

A quick counter attack after a midfield interception.

Central defender Ignashevich Zhongli intercepted the ball and directly launched a long pass. Côte d'Ivoire striker Doubia sprinted from Hewedes at high speed, plugged in to the penalty spot and dived to the top. Fortunately, the position was slightly upright. Il held the ball firmly.

Such a situation made Magath firm in his determination. Even if the opponent was a little weaker, such objective conditions were completely unfavorable for Schalke 04 to take advantage of the overall ball possession. Therefore, even Magath could only shrink the formation. Make sure not to lose the ball by pressing close to the body first, and temporarily avoid its edge.

Zhou Tiancheng's main job in the first half was to get in front of the defense and mark the opponent's starting midfielder.

Today, Slutsky replaced the organization core in the front midfielder position. Their biggest deal this summer, the Japanese midfielder Keisuke Honda, who was transferred from the Dutch second division Venlo, represented the team for the first time. As the player of the season in the Dutch second division last season, this deal cost CSKA nine million euros.

And ten minutes before the opening, Keisuke Honda has not played a performance that matches his worth. A few times of holding and passing the ball showed that he has the usual advantages of Japanese players' delicate skills and wide vision. However, due to physical confrontation, it is difficult to have room to display his skills under Zhou Tiancheng's pressing.

The Japanese cable TV commentator was looking forward to Keisuke Honda's debut in the Russian Super League. After all, he was already well-known in the Japanese high school league. Last season, he scored 16 goals and 13 assists. He is the next-generation midfield leader of the Japanese national team, but facing Zhou Tiancheng, who is three years younger than him today, there is no bright spot at all. Even the Japanese commentator can only shake his head repeatedly: "In such a high-level competition, the gap is intuitively reflected. Mr. Honda is good enough, but in today's game, he should be able to understand that the gap with the European Golden Boy is completely different. In terms of direction, he still has a lot to improve."

These words are a bit tangled, and the Japanese commentators probably would not have thought that one day they would convincingly admit the ability of a Chinese player, which made their long-term superiority over Chinese football a blow.

However, Zhou Tiancheng's running and intercepting abilities on the defensive end are indeed impeccable. Even the Russian international midfielder Aldonin, who is known for his tough style, stepped in to participate in the attack and wanted to fight Zhou Tiancheng one-on-one. Unable to withstand the high intensity, he fell to the ground.

"We have almost forgotten Zhou Tiancheng's suffocating defensive ability... In the past season, Zhou Tiancheng has not played the role of this pure defensive engineer for a long time. Zhou Tiancheng almost appeared in the game in the image of Pirlo, Today's game allowed us to see another side of him again-everywhere on the defensive end, the perfect Gattuso template."

Duan Xuan's tone seemed very excited. At present, it is indeed a blessing from heaven to have a Chinese player like Zhou Tiancheng with high-level offense and defense.

Zhou Tiancheng's active retreat greatly relieved the pressure on the two central defenders. Every time Zhou Tiancheng contributed a key steal, Zhou Tiancheng heard Westerman and Hewedes shouting excitedly behind him: "Zhou, haha, what are you doing?" beautiful!"

Zhou Tiancheng lowered his head and didn't speak, but his heart was filled with displeasure. It wasn't aimed at his teammates, but simply felt that the game was too aggrieved.

The Bundesliga champion shouldn't play so uselessly!

This kind of game of sticking to the end is not what he wants.

But now the snow is still falling, the field is covered with a layer of whiteness, and there is even a layer of snow near the arc of the middle circle. It is difficult to rely on short passes to break through the high position set by the opponent in the midfield.

Only 25 minutes later in the first half, Magath was ready to replace Jiang Hao. In such field conditions, Van Nistelrooy was almost useless as a striker.

CSKA Moscow's central attack was basically contained, and the main offensive firepower was turned to the right, relying on Zagoyev to form a connection with striker Dunbia after breaking through the right.

Such tactics are not complicated,

But Zagoyev played well on the right side, and Dunbia is also a striker with an extremely keen sense of smell in front of the goal.

For Schalke's two less flexible central defenders, this is a fatal flaw.

In the 31st minute, Zagoyev made a low pass from the right. Dubia quickly jumped in from the top of the penalty area, took a step ahead of the two central defenders and took the ball away, facing Noy With a light flick, the ball slowly flew into the dead corner on the right.

The decibels at the CSKA Stadium felt like they could burst eardrums at this moment, and more than 30,000 home fans burst into shouts at the same time. Even though the stadium has a lot of space, when the noise comes from all directions at the same time, it feels like being in hell at this moment.

On the court, substitute players and head coach Slutsky swarmed to the sidelines to celebrate wantonly with the main players who ran over wildly. Slutsky even touched Dumbiya's head, as if admiring him for proving the team's unyielding spirit with practical actions.

Just looking at this crazy energy, I thought it was a stoppage time lore in the last minute of the game, and the home team had already secured the victory.

In the camp of the "Red Army" fans, a slogan written in big bold characters in German was erected: The Germans will not win any victories in Moscow!

Obviously, this is a special preparation for the home fans, and it is specially written for Schalke players. From the famous words of the former Soviet Marshal Zhukov.

In the military field, the Germans did not win in Moscow, but suffered a humiliating defeat.

History shows that it seems that Germany's record as a guest in Moscow is really not good.

Zhou Tiancheng stood in the middle circle, looking directly at the "Red Army" stand on one side, just in time to see the slogan, and couldn't help laughing.

Although we are a German team, I am not German...

After this goal, Magath finally had time to execute a substitution, and Jiang Hao replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"Brother Cheng, the devil has said, we are going to attack!"

Zhou Tiancheng chuckled: "It's time to do this, just wait and eat my cake, Haozi."

After the re-kick-off, Zhou Tiancheng received the ball, and Aldonin was still thinking about his passing route, but Zhou Tiancheng passed him quickly and dribbled the ball forward.

When Aldonen came back to his senses, Zhou Tiancheng had already passed his control area, and passed another midfielder Vasiliev, and was about to pass behind the central defender Ignashevich.

Zhou Tiancheng's sudden solo show made Marcel Leif, who had been nervous for nearly half the time, suddenly become excited: "Zhou! He passed two midfielders! The moment for Schalke has come, Zhou's counterattack!"

PS: I just sent my relatives away at night, and I will come up with this chapter as soon as I get home, sorry for the delay.

When writing this chapter, I thought of the past World Cup in Russia. The Germans really didn't win a single victory in Moscow! Maybe this is God's will?
