Hevedes was transferred to the first team, which is a huge loss for Schalke U19's defense system. Elget can only use the backup central defender on the team. Relatively speaking, the youngest "post-90s" Matip should bear greater responsibility.

After making this decision, Elgart experienced some entanglement. He once thought of putting Zhou Tiancheng back in the position of central defender. He and Matip are not weak. At least they can guarantee the stability of the defense. . But considering it again and again, he still feels that midfield is more critical. There is a significant trend in the current development trend of football: those who win the midfielder get the world. It improves the control of the midfield and is a way to fundamentally relieve the pressure on the back defense.

　　 First attempt to play midfielder in the first two games, Zhou Tiancheng's performance is developing in the direction that Elgart expects. Especially the last week of Zhou Tiancheng's performance on the offensive end fully demonstrated his ability to organize in the midfield. Therefore, with the back line weakened, Elgart gave Zhou Tiancheng more freedom in the midfield. His position changed from being behind in the third midfield to being forward. Elgett hopes to transform the team's formation to 4-2-1-3. Zhou Tian's achievement is the "1" equivalent to the role of the front waist, but he is actually closer to a free midfielder, authorized by Elgett. He can move freely in any area of ​​the field. Zhou Tiancheng can make his own decision based on the situation on the court before inserting the attack or withdrawing the supplementary defense.

　　 Generally speaking, very few youth coaches will give players such great freedom. But Zhou Tiancheng is different. Elget knows that he is a mature B2B midfielder on the field. Only by absolutely trusting him can he maximize his characteristics.

　　Facts once again proved Elgart's vision.

　　 With the deepening of the two-line combat schedule, Schalke U19 began to encounter the same injury and illness circle as the first team. Jiang Hao was discharged from the hospital after a week of observation, and he began his first appearance in the Youth League half a month later. The reason why he can play is also related to the continuous loss of strikers. The three forwards who had previously appeared in front of him hung up the fight-free cards one after another, and Elgett could only allow Jiang Hao, who had just begun to resume the team's joint training, to play.

　　After the performance of the Youth German Cup, Elgett has made some changes to Jiang Hao's understanding, but now let him play, a little feeling of catching the duck on the shelf. Elgart only hopes to achieve a smooth transition and survive this difficult period.

　　 But he did not expect that the result was amazing. In four consecutive rounds of league matches, Jiang Hao started in four games and played the entire game, and his transcript was-four games and four goals!

　　Behind this, Zhou Tiancheng sent four assists in a row and averaged a distance of 10,000 meters.

　　 Not to mention the Youth League, even in the Bundesliga field of the first team, Zhou Tiancheng's running distance is mid-level.

　　Algert certainly knows what this means, not only does Zhou Tiancheng show absolute dominance on both ends of the offensive and defensive, but also shows that there is indeed a tacit understanding between Zhou Tiancheng and Jiang Hao that other teammates cannot achieve.

The team was able to remain unbeaten in the first seven rounds of the league and remained undefeated high in the top of the Western Conference, and easily defeated Hamburg and Munich 1860 in the German Cup. Zhou Tiancheng and Jiang Hao could not be said to be absolute thighs, but the two guaranteed the team Most of the offensive firepower is output.

　　 Obviously, this kind of years-long tacit understanding between the two is currently unattainable with other teammates. This efficient offensive efficiency also forced Elgart to consider rebuilding the offensive system centered on the two, and to continue this tacit efficiency as much as possible.

　　……

　　The first seven rounds of Schalke U19 were in full swing, but in the eighth round they began to face a real strong enemy, and they were their biggest dead enemy in the west and even Germany, Dortmund!

　　Schalke U19 and Dortmund U19, Youth Ruhr Derby, the annual focus program of the German Youth League, the most important focus battle!

　　 Fight between these two youth teams, even mainstream TV stations will send a strong coverage of the entire broadcast, Dortmund and Schalke 04 appeal, even more than the Youth League finals.

　　 Everyone is holding great interest, through this game to pay attention to how many stars the two teams have.

　　Although the attention is not as good as the first team's Ruhr Derby, the U19 echelon contest is a direct confrontation between the future reserves of the two clubs. Whether it is for Dortmund or Schalke 04, the meaning is naturally a bit different. If one of them is suppressed for a long time in one or two seasons, it means not only losing one or two duels, but also losing the future! Neither party can accept such a result.

　　 And Schalke 04's youth training background is stronger than Dortmund, so the two clubs are in very different situations in the first team and the youth arena. In the youth arena, Schalke 04 has a long-term advantage over Dortmund, which is an innate advantage of their youth training. To the first team level, in the past ten years, the two clubs have played 30 times on each level. Schalke 04 has a total of 8 wins, 10 draws and 12 losses.

　　The appearance of this difference ~lightnovelpub.net~ is actually related to the gap between the clubs of the two parties. Strictly speaking, both clubs can't keep their core, and they have to rely on selling stars to maintain healthy operation. But Dortmund's operation in the first team transfer market is much better than that of Schalke 04, and Schalke can only watch the self-cultivated stars disappear and become the most "selfless" Bundesliga club for others.

　　 However, for the youth Ruhr Derby at the U19 level, no Elgert mobilization is required. Any player who can play will show the best state in this.

　　 For the players who entered the Schalke team since childhood, they will regard Dortmund as a life and death enemy who can only win but not lose, but Zhou Tiancheng is not so nervous. After training, some teammates also asked him, and Zhou Tiancheng's answer was uniform: "It is not a good thing to pay too much attention. Since we all have advantages over them over the years, we should relax and stay calm. We have great opportunity."

　　 And Jiang Hao's answer reflects the unconditional trust in Zhou Tiancheng: "I'm not nervous at all, as long as my brother is in a normal state, I don't worry about scoring goals at all."

　　 But it’s hard to be as ordinary as the two of them, because the pressure is transmitted from layer to layer, and the coaching staff are busier than usual.

　　 In the last week, Schalke U19's training was designed to restrain his opponents in a targeted manner, and Elgart shared the intelligence of his opponent's core players early on.

　　 "I know you don't look down on the locusts in Dortmund, but you must be absolutely vigilant about their dangerous characters. In the Dortmund U19 in front of us, there is a player who must pay attention to it."

　　Elgett put the information on the slide, and the player's name appeared in front of everyone.

　　Mario? Getze.
