Volume 7 Chapter 64

Pre-match preparations, Van Gaal even joked with Zhou Tiancheng: "Zhou, you have already blown it out in front of the reporters. What I want to ask is are you really sure?"

Van Gaal asked with a smile, and Zhou Tiancheng knew that he was joking, so he told the truth: "Sir, don't you still have you? If you don't even have confidence... Uh, then I'm wrong .”

Van Gaal laughed after hearing this, and gave Zhou Tiancheng a thumbs up: "Zhou, I like your attitude, don't worry, do what you have to do, we'll be fine, I'm ready for them. "

Of course Zhou Tiancheng is fine. Van Gaal said at the preparatory meeting that this game revolves around Zhou Tiancheng, and his tactical arrangements are all like this.

Herrera, who got the opportunity to play for two consecutive games, was assigned to the main side that symbolized the starting lineup. Van Gaal arranged three people lined up in the midfield, Zhou Tiancheng was in the middle, Fellaini and Herrera were on his two sides On the other hand, Van Gaal has only one requirement for them: the offense must go up and keep up with Zhou Tiancheng's rhythm, and the defense must retreat faster than Zhou Tiancheng - this is the meaning of their existence.

"You have to fight harder and let Zhou get the ball more."

Van Gaal never said that Zhou Tiancheng could not be involved in the defense, but his thinking was like this - if these two tough guys can play 100% of their abilities, Zhou Tiancheng probably doesn't have to worry about the midfield defense.

Both of them understood that Fellaini even kicked Carrick in training without holding back. He almost let the veteran end with a bandage. He lightly patted Zhou Tiancheng on the shoulder: "Zhou, I You don’t need to worry at all here, you will be optimistic about it when the time comes.”

Zhou Tiancheng was quite at ease with the two midfielders beside him. Fellaini was already familiar with the cooperation, and Herrera seemed very excited. As soon as he put on his main vest, he was bouncing around on the field. Zhou Tiancheng understood very well that being able to compete with Liverpool in the starting lineup is a big stage for any new player to express himself.

"Ander, be careful." Zhou Tiancheng kindly reminded him.

"What, Zhou?" Herrera's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Control your emotions, I understand your feelings, but be careful that you are not so excited on the court when the time comes."

"No, I am full of strength now." Herrera is very confident.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "Do you think playing against Liverpool can excite you? Let me ask you sincerely, are you also the main player in Bilbao? Does playing against Barcelona and Real Madrid also make you feel this way?"

Herrera froze for a moment, then shook her head flatly: "No, Zhou, I know what you want to say. But it's different. It's a miracle that Bilbao can win those two giants, and it doesn't make me Excited, it's Manchester United now, I can participate in the giants matchup, and I have a share... Zhou, didn't you feel this way for the first time?"

Zhou Tiancheng raised his head and thought for two seconds: "I don't think so. I never thought it was a big deal, even if it's the Ruhr Derby, it's the media's business. If there are some gimmicks, they will lose their jobs and go home. Don't be carried away by the media."

Herrera opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He felt that what Zhou Tiancheng said was completely different from his cognition, and his three views were refreshed.

Maybe Zhou Tiancheng didn't realize it yet.

The running-in effect can satisfy Van Gaal, which can be seen from the starting list announced by Manchester United.

Exactly the same as in training, Zhou Tiancheng, Fellaini and Herrera started together.

Van Gaal's lineup once again surprised all the media, and no one would have thought that Van Gaal would change.

Changing the formation, in the history of Van Gaal's coaching, it means that there is a big event. If you lose a game or block a certain core, you will not hesitate to change the lineup.

It is absolutely rare to change the formation in a key battle.

Manchester United's starting formation is 4-3-3, and the front trident is Di Maria, Ashley Young and Rooney-Ashley Young was originally a winger, which is considered to be his original form. Location.

It's just that Manchester United's starting lineup will become very interesting if you look at the tactical map: Herrera is 1.81 meters, Zhou Tiancheng is 1.93 meters, Fellaini is 1.94 meters, and there is a tall line across the midfield. The wall, but in front of them are all dwarfs who rely on speed and spirituality to break the situation.

...

It was the turn of PP Sports’ Premier League time again. As soon as Zhan Jun appeared on the field, his tone was extremely excited. He is now the well-deserved top spot in the domestic Premier League commentator, and his home team is Liverpool. This is his first impression of football with his father when he was a child . It's no secret among old Premier League fans.

Before cutting into the live broadcast, the fans swiped the barrage on the Internet.

"Brother Jun, just tell me, do you support Liverpool or Manchester United today?"

"I guess Brother Jun is definitely very supportive of Manchester United. The place where there is the champion of the week is our common home team. Liverpool fans have passed by for 30 years."

"I like Brother Jun to be neutral, no one is biased...as long as Zhou Tiancheng's voice is a little louder when he scores a goal."

Fans like to pay attention to these things that make them laugh. They don't care what kind of lineup Van Gaal puts up. No matter what the lineup is, as long as it doesn't delay Zhou Tiancheng's goal.

...

In the on-site commentary booth, Yang Cheng was very excited before the game. Bob Clem had returned, but his commentary combination with Carragher had been unanimously recognized. Sky Sports launched an online survey, and many fans Said, "I like this combination very much, especially the Chinese Yang, who is as interesting as Zhou playing on the court."

It can be seen that Manchester United fans are very supportive, so Yang Cheng will have the opportunity to watch all Manchester United games at close range, and Bob Clem can only comment on other games.

But today, he and Carragher's commentary started as a joke: "Jamie, today I can guarantee that I will try not to irritate you, but if Zhou Tiancheng scores too beautiful long shots, buddy, then I'm sorry."

Carragher blinked: "Yang, are you sure? Haha, I very much hope that Zhou and Manchester United think the same as you. Underestimating Liverpool is the biggest mistake. I'm not arguing, let alone scaring you, man, no one is better than you." I know Liverpool better, now I can tell you how we turned AC Milan back then, the spirit of Anfield is to fight, fight, fight until the last moment and never give up."

Yang Cheng chuckled: "That's history. If you look at it this way, is Solskjaer's countdown to Bayern a more classic? Haha, yes, it is indeed dangerous to underestimate Liverpool, but I don't know if Brendan Rodgers is He was making a bigger mistake—he thought he was ready, many head coaches have been so confident, but in the end they all understood a fact: the most dangerous thing is to miscalculate Zhou Tiancheng..."
