v2 Chapter 36: Stronger physical advantage
Algerte was joking with a relaxed tone, but Zhou Tiancheng clearly heard what the coach expected of him.
Even if the coach said that he will be lucky to be selected by the first team next season, that will be the future. Now all his thoughts are focused on helping Schalke U19 win the youth league championship.
The final round of the three regional leagues were all arranged by the German Football Association at the end of the day, which means that this season the German U19 Youth League national semi-finals were released at the same time.
This season's final advancement to the semi-finals team is the Western doubles Schalke U19 and Dortmund U19, the northern youth training giant Wolfsburg U19, and the southern region's overlord Bayern Munich U19.
Although Schalke U19 has a great ride in the west, but they want to win the championship, there are still many obstacles in front of them.
Schalke U19 is staring at the successive draws, no need to think about it, everyone is naturally more willing to touch Wolfsburg, Bayern's advantage in the southern league this season is greater than Schalke in the west, plus they The long-term detached dominance in German football, even if it seems that Zhou Tiancheng, who touches everyone on the surface, is normal, has a bias in his heart.
Perhaps Schalke’s collective wish manifested itself. The final draw showed that Schalke’s lucky draw was good, successfully avoiding the powerful Bayern and winning Wolfsburg.
In turn, Schalke's mortal enemy Dortmund was not favored by good luck, and encountered Bayern in advance, with much luck.
Such a situation is naturally Schalke's favorite news, regardless of the geometry of the other side, there is something worthy of their pleasure.
But as the head coach, Elgett still hopes that Dortmund can be upset, after all, this enemy is studied more thoroughly.
In terms of possibility, there is still such a probability. The biggest reason is the competition system. Both the semi-finals and the finals are a set game. Usually this single game system is a hotbed for upsets. The German Football Association made the rules in this way to stimulate all the clubs to vigorously build the youth echelon in order to pursue the upset.
Of course, Elgart put more energy on the platoon formation with Wolfsburg U19. If he loses the semi-finals first, what is the point of expecting the winner on the other side?
The whole team held up and down. Elgart used the semi-final defeat of last season to inspire everyone's fighting spirit: Only one step further, and even the final championship, is worthy of the strong performance of the previous half year.
Before the game, Zhou Tiancheng specifically checked the opponent's situation in the system. To his surprise, the system did not specifically mark any star players in the Wolfsburg U19 team that deserve attention.
Zhou Tiancheng feels unbelievable. Wolfsburg youth training is still famous for a long time. He had heard that the club youth training is very rich when he was still in China. How can it behave like a grassroots civilian team?
The system confirmed again that it was equally accurate, and Qidan Harvey dispelled Zhou Tiancheng: "As seen by the host, this 89-year-old Wolfsburg youth team has not become a famous star, the last youth football star. Special is currently playing in the first team. However, this team relies on the overall offensive and defensive to get to the current step. The host can view the running data curve of this team, it is not difficult to see that this team is relying on active running It is also a way to stand out. This is a way for the youth training team to highlight its foundation. Not only can it look at the production of stars, it can bring a civilian team to a high level, but it also shows strength. The host must not be paralyzed."
Well, it looks like a tough bone. Zhou Tiancheng was not surprised at this point. After more than half of the season, Schalke U19 tempered, he already has the mentality of a professional player. Regardless of the strength of his opponent, he will always try his best to welcome the game.
……
On the day of the game, when standing on the field and really facing this Wolfsburg U19, Zhou Tiancheng only realized that the system reminder was not exaggerated.
Although opponents do not have star players on the offensive end, that is, they have no obvious focus, but it is because of this that they have invested more energy to constantly intersect Schalke's defense line frequently. However, this kind of penetration is limited to the opponent's avant-garde line and striker. The position of the double back is fixed in the mid-circle arc. Their task is also very clear. As long as other people have the intention to pass the ball to Zhou Tiancheng, the two will have a clear division of labor. One of them is a small, fast-moving midfielder who is responsible for blocking the pass line, while his partner is mainly responsible for pressing Zhou Tiancheng close to catch the ball in case.
Wolfsburg apparently studied Schalke in depth and had to say that the tactics they chose were already relatively effective, focusing on Zhou Tiancheng’s tactics.
But Zhou Tiancheng's strain is also top-notch. Since his opponent focuses on "taking care of" himself, Zhou Tian's achievements decisively choose to increase his movement and continue to actively move to the side of the ball to participate in the offense. Fully mobilize the opponent's double waist.
Wolfsburg U19's double backs didn't realize Zhou Tiancheng was using their strengths to crush them. Zhou Tiancheng's physical fitness score is now 79, which is a level where the first team can stand. Faced with the intensity of the youth team's game, let alone a confrontation, even if you play two games in a row with this intensity, the Zhou Tian CD can barely sustain it.
The opponent is completely caught in the rhythm of Zhou Tiancheng~lightnovelpub.net~ The presentation of the game scene is unbelievable, not just the problem of Schalke almost playing, but the injury and stoppage time in the first half. The Wolfsburg U19 coach discovered that the best physical double back had cramps!
And what makes Wolfsburg feel unacceptable is that Zhou Tiancheng's physical energy consumption does not seem to be large.
The head coach of Wolfsburg U19 immediately turned black. He realized that he had made a fatal mistake. It's nice to say that it was a mistake in tactical selection. In fact, Zhou Tiancheng was directly crushed with stronger physical strength!
This is like two sprinters with unequal strength of 100 meters PK. The dominant team confidently makes the opponent 30 meters. The other person secretly likes to take advantage of him. As a result, he found out that even if he lost 50 Meter!
opponents feel this way now.
Although Schalke's U19 had a poor footing in the first half and did not achieve an advantage in the score, it could not be said that there was no result. Zhou Tiancheng had shaken the other party's greatest strength through the half game, and the other side heard a half The whistle at the end of the field was obviously relieved, and Zhou Tiancheng's eyes were filled with fear.
An opponent who has shaken his confidence, it is only a matter of time before he reveals the loopholes. As a result of the halftime locker room, Elgart easily said to everyone: "Come on guys! With a goal, officially launch the final sprint to the champion!"
On the other side, the Wolfsburg U19 coach can only stimulate the players to restore their fighting spirit as much as possible, and re-enforce the defense in the center and backcourt.
Opponents are now showing weakness. All they are doing now is to hope to drag the game into overtime and even the penalty shootout to win.
Just, is it possible?
