Chapter 185 Goal: Strive for 3 Kills

Unlike the expressions of the Bayern players, the expressions on the faces of the Schalke players are very relaxed. It is impossible to tell from anyone's face that this is a single knockout game, just like an ordinary league game.

In fact, there is a reason for all this.

A few minutes before the two sides officially entered the field, there was a very relaxed conversation between the players in the Schalke 04 dressing room.

Although everyone understands the cruelty of a single elimination in the German Cup, and understands that the opponent's paper strength is the strongest in the Bundesliga, since winning a Bundesliga championship last season, everyone's self-confidence has risen. And they have not lost to Bayern in the last two seasons. This is like a benign psychological suggestion, the same opponent, but with a completely different mentality.

Magath just repeated one side of tactics, leaving the final preparation time to the players.

Sitting in the locker room, Zhou Tiancheng watched Jiang Hao keep his head down, and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Why, Haozi, it seems that you are not in a good mood, are you nervous again?".

Jiang Hao shook his head: "It's nothing, Brother Cheng, don't underestimate me, now unless it's the Champions League final, other games are a small case for me! In fact, you should go and see Brother Hao, he is There is a real situation."

Following Jiang Hao's eyes, Zhou Tiancheng found four bottles of mineral water in front of Hao Junmin, and he was gulping water.

The two looked at each other, got up and walked to Hao Junmin at the same time, Zhou Tiancheng brought all the mineral water over and said, "Hey, Brother Hao, what do you mean, drink so much water, I will be on the field later What do you do if you want to pee? Can you still perform at your level?"

Hao Junmin obviously knew that Zhou Tiancheng was right. He stopped, raised his head and glanced at Zhou Tiancheng and Jiang Hao, and reached out to get the mineral water bottle again: "Give it to me, Lao Zhou, I know it myself...you Don’t worry, I’m not nervous, I just think it’s really lucky to play against Bayern in the next round, I’m excited, drink some water to press the fire, and calm down.”

"Your method is useless. The excitement is suppressed. Drinking so much water, can you still be in shape? You may think that Bayern is very strong, so strong that they are legendary opponents. In fact, you don't have to be so nervous. Even Hiroko He scored the winning goal against Bayern for the first time."

"Hey, brother Cheng, save some face for me!" Jiang Hao protested that he was being described as a rookie.

"And Bayern is really not that strong. You played on the right and didn't face Ram directly. Believe in yourself, even if you are really nervous, there is still me. You only need to do the simplest thing - run out of space , I'll feed you cake."

Zhou Tiancheng patted his shoulder lightly, and whispered in his ear: "After you play, you will feel that Bayern is not really strong. We can strive for triple kills next season."

"Three kills? The German Cup, the League, the Champions League, and kill Bayern all?! Fuck! Old Zhou, are you serious?"

Hao Junmin suddenly raised his voice and attracted the attention of his teammates. Westerman stretched out his big head from the back row and asked, "What are you talking about? Can you tell me?" ?”

The communication between the three of them is naturally in Chinese, which Westerman naturally cannot understand.

Hao Junmin repeated Zhou Tiancheng's words: "Heike, do you think we can kill Bayern three times? I think Lao Zhou is a little too confident, and sometimes it is not a good thing."

Westerman thought for a while: "I used to agree with you, but now I start to think that Zhou's logic makes sense. We are people who play football professionally. We don't play to win, so we still earn the money." What are you doing with a salary? So, no matter how difficult it is, since Zhou proposed it, we can fight for it. Think about what expressions those reporters will have if it comes true? Right, Hao?"

"..."

Hao Junmin didn't speak. Westerman's words made him think whether he really lacked the will to win.

"Okay, Brother Hao, let's go, it's useless to sit here and think, let's go, the competition will prove what I said."

...

Bayern's offensive at the beginning was extremely fierce. Today, Van Gaal played a 4-4-2 in pursuit of offensive efficiency.

The double defensive midfielder chose a new combination. Schweinsteiger partnered with Tymoshchuk. The two crossed positions front and back, focusing on the firepower output of offensive and defensive transitions. Thomas Muller continued to look for opportunities near the penalty area line to advance. , Schweinsteiger can give the ball to his feet immediately on the offensive end. At the same time, this formation also pays attention to the level of defense. The two defensive midfielders can retreat at any time or move forward to maintain their positions, and immediately suppress the attack of Schalke's midfielder.

When Zhou Tiancheng took the ball for the first time, he felt the pressure brought by the opponent's cross-positioned defense. He could easily avoid Schweinsteiger in the first pass, but just past him, Before he had time to make a second reaction, another player with a white jersey (Bayern away jersey) came up and shoveled him.

It was Tymoshchuk.

The referee did not say anything about the two vicious shovels. Fortunately, the back line was focused enough, and left back Pandel made up for it in time to help Hewedes break the ball out of the sideline.

In the stands, Chu Yunling watched nervously from the very beginning. As an important member of the school's student union, it is not easy for her to squeeze out time to watch the game at Schalke on the game day in the middle of the week. Moreover, she has already made arrangements and notified Yang Cheng and the others that she will still come to the Champions League away game in the middle of next week. If possible, she may even make an expedition to Munich in the second round. It was convenient for Schalke to draw Bayern. Running back and forth in Germany was more realistic than going to England to cheer for Zhou Tiancheng.

But she soon found that watching Zhou Tiancheng's game was both a pleasure and a torture - she was happy when she scored a goal, and felt that today's trip was not in vain. But before that, it was common for Zhou Tiancheng to be violated by the other party. At such a time, Yang Cheng and Fatty Xie next to him would at most just stomp their feet in an atmosphere from the standpoint of diehard fans, but she was terribly worried.

Zhou Tiancheng didn't care at all, every time the other party violated him, he just grinned, he felt that this was a sign of being valued. And he often enjoys such treatment in the game. He already has a set of coping strategies that he is familiar with. Whenever he encounters an aggressive defense, he will take the initiative to recover his position. Long passes are his biggest reliance. With high pressure, he can seize the space behind the opponent, and this trick has been tried and tested.

However, he somewhat underestimated the importance Bayern attached to him. Although he was out of the defensive area of ​​the midfielder, Bayern's defense against him today is the principle of indiscriminate proximity-even if he takes the ball in front of the central defender, the two strikers Crowe Ze and Thomas Muller will come up to double-team him immediately. Van Gaal did not play Gomez and Olic today, but used a striker combination with a wider range of activities. Not just for offensive reasons.

"Bayern's defense against Zhou is everywhere today, and Zhou must fight for more space." Marcel Leff proposed a direct solution. But it is not so easy to achieve.
