Chapter 319 Focus

Van Gaal had a solemn expression on his face. From Zhou Tiancheng's series of actions, he knew that Zhou Tiancheng's condition was much better than he expected.

This is troublesome.

Van Gaal quickly called Schweinsteiger over and told him, "Stop competing with Zhou. From now on, control the ball."

This means that Bayern's defensive focus is no longer to limit Zhou Tian as the main task, but to focus on Schalke's players who run without the ball in the frontcourt.

From a strategic point of view, this is indeed a choice with a higher success rate. Although Van Gaal probably didn't realize that Bayern was a little afraid of Zhou Tiancheng and lost Bayern's arrogance as a giant, but now Van Gaal only cares about the field. Everything is done to ensure that Bayern spends more time on the court to take the initiative.

Bayern's striker was still very fierce, and Bayern, who devoted themselves to attacking, quickly stabilized their position. Even Schalke had to retreat their formation, and Zhou Tiancheng gradually retreated to his own half. However, Bayern is obviously well aware of his wide coverage area, and frequently uses large-scale lateral transfers to stretch space. Baumjohann and Kruger are still not as effective as Zhou Tiancheng in defense. Bayern's offense in the opening stage is generally to overwhelm Schalke, and Zhou Tiancheng's hotspots are within 40 meters around his penalty area. The two teammates are not good enough, he can only shrink his position further.

It seems to be crushing the situation, but Magath is not very anxious. In fact, most of Schalke's wins over the past few seasons have relied on defensive counterattacks. Bayern's lineup configuration determines that no one dares to fight against them in the Bundesliga. . Although they are only third in the league, it's just that some teams are more effective in their formation.

Although the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena was very warm, Schalke put on a defensive posture, and the champion's iron barrel formation was even more difficult to break. Bayern crossed back and forth around Schalke's penalty area, but there were very few real threatening opportunities. Schalke stared very decisively at the vertical pass, and Neuer didn't have many chances to be photographed.

However, the on-site director has no deep meaning. Every time Bayern's attack is terminated, they will give Neuer a shot.

This has to be reminiscent of the rumors that have been circulating throughout German football recently.

Marcel Leif said: "This is really interesting! Maybe the next time Neuer comes, he probably won't hear boos."

Such a tone carries certainty. It is really because the contact between Neuer and Bayern has been rumored, and it is from Neuer's agent, he even revealed the details of Bayern's contract, such as personal treatment and years.

Not entirely sure though. Because such routines are very common in professional football transfer operations, it is indeed not ruled out that the agent deliberately did it to put further pressure on Schalke. But this at least proves that the rumors are true, Bayern really has a lot of ideas for Neuer. The Golden Glove winner of the Bundesliga for three seasons, he only conceded three goals against Bayern. It is not surprising that Bayern is interested in him.

If there is no such thing as Zhou Tiancheng returning from injury, he must be the focus of this game. Although Neuer has not expressed his attitude to the media yet, this does not prevent the media from fabricating rumors based on rumors, which is their specialty.

Of course, the current situation is even better. Zhou Tiancheng has always had an eye-catching halo on the court. It is really difficult for them to choose. Everything depends on the performance on the court.

But at present, even if Schalke is under siege, Neuer's photogenic rate is still not high.

The teammates were all too good, especially Zhou Tiancheng's wide coverage at the front of the penalty area, blocking Schweinsteiger's threatening long-range shots more than twice.

Yang Cheng looked a little anxiously in front of the screen, and moved to Chu Yunling's side and said, "Schalke is going to finish the fight like this. If you only defend and don't attack, there will always be times when you can't hold back."

Chu Yunling nodded somewhat copingly, she always only paid attention to Zhou Tiancheng's performance.

In fact, Yang Cheng still didn't say the second half of the sentence: he was really worried about any accidents due to such high-intensity passive oppression.

Although Zhou Tiancheng was injured in the neck, so far he has not had a chance to compete for the top, but with such a desperate tackle, there is a great risk of accidents in the tendons.

But seeing Chu Yunling's appearance, he could only suppress the worries in his heart.

...

On the field, Zhou Tiancheng was very active. After every successful defense, he immediately organized the defense line to return to the position, and at the same time communicated with Neuer with gestures.

Zhou Tiancheng has this confidence, but he can't stand the fact that the situation on the field has changed beyond his expectations. There will always be many accidents on the football field, such as some unexpected ideas getting stuck. The result is that it may bring a key turning point in the game.

For example, when Matip stumbled with the opponent while defending in the penalty area, he subconsciously stretched out his arm to stabilize the center of gravity. It happened that Muller's shot hit his outstretched arm impartially.

The result is...a penalty!

Zhou Tiancheng immediately walked over to help Matip explain, but the referee's judgment standard is the only one, which is the actual effect. That is, Matip didn't need to stretch out his arms at all, and because of this action, he made a profit.

Matip squatted on the ground covering his face, regretful. Neuer walked up to him and pulled him up to show encouragement. Zhou Tiancheng also said beside him: "Trust Manuel, he can do it."

The three Bayern players stood in front of the penalty spot to discuss for a while, and in the end Gomez gave up the opportunity to Schweinsteiger, who was most sure of kicking the penalty. Now he has no chance to win the Golden Boot in the cup scorer list, and he doesn't need to score goals. What's more, his penalty kick skills are not very good, and he will be blamed if he fails to score.

Facing Schweinsteiger, Neuer held his breath. He was indeed shaken by Schweinsteiger's false start, but he adjusted in time, and his right arm was fully extended. Although the hasty save did not completely seal He stayed in the dead corner, but still tapped his fingertips lightly, and the ball stopped in front of the goal line. Neuer reacted quickly and hugged the ball quickly.

Zhou Tiancheng excitedly walked over and hugged Neuer, and at the same time cast a "Look, I said so" look at Matip.

And the narrators are frantically exaggerating the significance of Neuer's save: "I believe this time the magic save will strengthen Bayern's determination. He really does not belong to the same level as Bout. Although Bayern also does not have a championship, but the same conditions Now, Schalke may find it difficult to keep him."

The commentators began to analyze the various reasons why the possibility of Neuer's transfer after the season will increase greatly. At this moment, he is the focus of the field.

Zhou Tiancheng naturally didn't care about these things, but Bout on the opposite side couldn't imagine that in the commentary, he would lie innocently in the gun.
