Grassroots Glory
v2 Chapter 7: Chinese media: shock and doubt
In the 70th minute of the game, Zhou Tiancheng's highlight performance in the half was finally more intuitively reflected. During the midfield progress, he picked up and assisted the German national team forward Kevin Kuranyi, who succeeded in the offside offside. , Single-handedly pushed the shot.
The first show sent an assist, Zhou Tiancheng was not satisfied. In the second half, there were two shots hitting the post. If the first show had a goal, it would be truly perfect.
To himself, Zhou Tiancheng is somewhat similar to the perfectionist demand, which is also related to his background as an amateur player. Every time he reaches a higher platform, he is always worried that he is not perfect enough to get 100% trust from the head coach.
Actually, it does not exist.
Slomka and assistant coach Biskens have the same idea. The first round of the German Cup is an ideal testing ground, deciding whether Zhou Tiancheng can really leap into the starting midfielder of the new season.
The team conducted a week of training in Nice and returned to Germany to make the final preparations for the new season.
Two days before the first round of the German Cup, Schalke 04 officially announced the new season first-team registration list. The entire roster has a total of 28 players, but it is rare that it includes five goalkeepers!
Generally speaking, for a large list of more than 20 people, three goalkeepers are standard. The special case of reporting five goalkeepers like this is only possible in the Bundesliga policy environment.
In terms of player registration, the Bundesliga is arguably the loosest league in the European mainstream league. The Premier League has a labor certification threshold. Serie A stipulates that only two non-EU players can be introduced from abroad each season, and the original non-EU players must leave the team. La Liga stipulates that the roster cannot exceed 25 people and there can only be up to three non-EU players Player. The Bundesliga is completely open without any restrictions. Each team can register 15-99 players, it can be understood that there is no upper limit, and there are no restrictions on the registration of foreign aid and the number of players.
But what is interesting is that the unlimited influx of foreign aid has not only improved the appreciation of the Bundesliga, but also has not hindered the growth of German local players. Instead, the Bundesliga is the most localized league among the five major leagues, which actually benefits from clubs at all levels. Consensus on youth training. An example of entering the first team like Zhou Tiancheng is actually happening in every Bundesliga club every season, but Schalke is more well-known because of the outstanding results of the youth training.
Strategy, determine achievements.
……
At the same time, thousands of kilometers away, China. The focus of attention of the whole people is at the Olympic Games that opened a few days ago. CCTV launched four channels. The good news of Olympic athletes competing for gold and silver is broadcast 24 hours a day.
However, even if the Olympic craze is so high, the "World Football" program that CCTV broadcasts every Monday night has not been affected.
As a football special program that has been aired for eight years, "World Football" is loved by all Chinese fans. This program mainly focuses on the world football, not only has the most professional football news summary and various football anecdotes , And there are the most sensational memory and commentary on the past stars, such as Cantona, Robert Baggio and other superstars, "World Football" has done a wonderful and sensational career summary for them, experienced fans of that era, extremely It is easy to evoke the deepest feelings in my heart.
So that in the Chinese fan circle, there are two classic evaluations of CCTV "World Football", one sentence is: watching "World Football", young people learn history, and old fans recall feelings.
There is another sentence that is more well-known to all Chinese fans: the country with the worst football, has made the best football program in the world!
Before the start of the five major leagues of each season, when the host of "World Football" Duan Xuan is the busiest, Xia Chuang is the time when all five major league club players enter and leave, the team changes very much, he must always follow up the focus The changes in the team's players, while showing the most professional analysis to the fans in the season preview of the show, this is by no means a small project.
Relatively speaking, the Bundesliga is relatively simple, and each season is the same theme: which teams can impact Bayern's hegemony.
Since Schalke won the second and third places in the first two seasons, Duan Xuan naturally listed Schalke as one of the most focused championship teams, and let the following program crew give him a new season in advance List of Schalke's first team.
The following staff is very efficient, and the list is quickly sent to him: "Brother Duan, this is the information you want."
Duan Xuan took the printed list of Schalke's first team, a quick glance, most of the names he is familiar with, are the old faces of last season. However, when he browsed to the name of the 12th player, Zhou Tiancheng, his gaze suddenly stopped, and he drew two points closer, the expression on his face changed to the direction of surprise.
Zhou Tiancheng's name is very strange, but the nationality column makes his heart jump.
China? !
Duan Xuan mobilized his memory and tried to recall whether he had a little impression. The end result was that he did not remember that he had heard the name. Duan Xuan's first feeling is whether there is something wrong. You have to know that the players who have the strength to break through the Bundesliga, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com is not an unknown in China. For example, Dong Fangzhuo, who was appointed by Ferguson to join Manchester United a few years ago, has long been known as Hao Haidong's successor. The young midfielder Chen Tao, who has been selected as the best player in the Dutch World Youth Championship, is called the future world-class midfielder by the Chinese media. In contrast, the name Zhou Tiancheng is very unfamiliar, and even Duan Xuan, an expert expert with a deep understanding of domestic and international football, has no impression.
Duan Xuan called the staff who just sent the information and asked, "Xiao Dong, did you give the wrong information? How can there be a Chinese player in Schalke 04 that I don't know about?"
"Brother Duan, I downloaded it directly from the official Chinese website of Schalke. It should be no problem! But when I came over with the information, I glanced at it. To be honest, I was also confused."
Duan Xuan thought for a while and ran to the cafe near the CCTV headquarters building while taking a break, using his laptop computer and wall-turning software to browse Schalke 04's German official website to find out. It has been reported among these developed football countries all the year round, and the previous year he went to participate in the World Cup commentary. Duan Xuan's German has no problems.
After personal comparison, he was convinced that all information of Zhou Tiancheng was exactly the same as the data, and Duan Xuan carefully read the official announcement of the first-team new player on Schalke's official website, and knew that he was a U19 player.
Duan Xuan is experienced, and after a little thinking, he figured out the reason: "Wouldn't he grow up to the present in the German football environment?"
Only this can explain why Duan Xuan has no impression about him at home.
Duan Xuan couldn't help being secretly excited, at the same time he glanced at Zhou Tiancheng's date of birth and secretly sighed: "Nineteen years old, really young!"
