v2 Chapter 84: Chase after victory: win the championshi
During the intermission, the Schalke home team's locker room was very lively.
"Ha ha! The leader is actually us, and there is more than one! I can't believe it, but Manchester United!"
Kristaic yelled as soon as he walked into the dressing room. Although exaggerated, it still caused many people to agree.
"Hey! I want to see the expressions of the reporters, it must be more exciting than seeing the deity of God!" Hevedes imagined.
"That's not because of Zhou's existence!" Rakitic added a sentence next to it.
"Yes, yes! Zhou, you are too good!"
Although Zhou Tiancheng maintained his apparent modesty, he secretly handed Rakitic a "You have a promising" look.
……
"Okay, guys, everyone did a good job in the first half, but in the second half, they will definitely be crazy, we have to do a good job of defense." Sloemka then looked to Zhou Tiancheng: "Week, you in the second half You need to change your position, so you can play at center defender."
"Ah? Boss, are you sure you want me to play as a defender in the second half?" Not only Zhou Tiancheng was surprised, everyone was surprised, it was too ruthless, it was a rhythm of not attacking at all.
Sloemka didn't change his face, he asked, "Why, it's difficult? Didn't you play well as a central defender when playing Liverpool? And, I learned from Norbert specifically, this is your old business, no As for the habit of playing midfield, have you lost your housekeeping skills?"
Zhou Tiancheng is not worried. He thinks that Slomka is too counseling. Offense is the best defense. If it is just because he does not want his opponent to score an away goal, he should put pressure on his opponent in the second half.
However, as a player, although there are quite a few words in his heart, he can't say anything, he can only do his best.
returned to the field in the second half and Manchester United took the lead in making the second substitution adjustment.
Giggs played and replaced Park Ji-sung. It is enough to prove that Park Zhixing's performance in the first half did not meet Ferguson's expectations. Manchester United must strengthen the offense in the second half and replace it with Giggs who has a stronger offensive attribute.
The broadcast footage also gave Park Ji-sung a shot, sitting on the bench, with a sad face.
"Ryan Giggs is here! Sir Alex Ferguson has actually kept a lot of backhands, and now the core players will be almost on the field. Giggs, Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov, are enough to shake In any of the European defenses, in the midfield and frontcourt, they scored away goals... No, they evened the score and even had a hope of overtaking! Schalke's defense is far from their midfield strength."
Seeing Manchester United gradually changing back to the strongest lineup, Bob Clem added a little more confidence.
But Sloemka's strategy in the second half was very firm, and he retired across the board.
After Zhou Tiancheng's retracement, the defense was only the first adjustment. At the same time, Slomka also replaced Kokitashvili with Rakitic. The positions of Asamoah and Farfan also changed from wingers to wingers. Avant-garde.
The original 4-3-3 offense formation was changed to 5-4-1.
This subversive change of Schalke makes many people unaccustomed and more worried. Duan Xuan euphemistically said: "Is Sloemka too confident in his defense? Good luck to Schalke..."
Obviously, Duan Xuan is not optimistic about Schalke's ability to withstand Manchester United's forty-five minutes of attack. Although Zhou Tiancheng has excellent offense and defense at both ends, his personal ability is far less effective on the defensive end.
After Giggs played, he swapped the left and right sides with Ronaldo. Giggs' left foot was Cristiano Ronaldo's right foot. When they switched to their preferred foot, the side attack was not only inward This option.
In the second half, Manchester United is almost dominating the offensive, this situation is not difficult to foresee. The home fans squeezed a lot of sweat. Under this fierce offensive, if Schalke was scored the first one, it might have really opened the Pandora’s box. Once there was a link that could not withstand the pressure, the latter The game trend may have to be changed throughout.
Fortunately, Manchester United's first half of the second half of the attack was mainly based on Giggs' side pass. Zhou Tiancheng steadily controlled the high point, and Berbatov did not discuss any cheapness.
In the last half hour, Manchester United's side pass failed, and they began to use their routine to press the bottom of the box. Cristiano Ronaldo frequently fought through the sidelines, and then found the opportunity to pass to the middle road to complete the connection with Rooney.
This kind of routine seems very simple, but because Ronaldo's personal ability is really too strong, left-back Bolton and Hevedes cannot work together, and Rooney's running position is also very ghostly. Have the opportunity, but under the active interference of Zhou Tiancheng, there is no right sight.
Bob Clem was very happy: "Pretty! Cristiano and Rooney have cooperated many times. From these cooperations, we can see that their tacit understanding is still the same. Some media's so-called contradictory statements are completely false and unpredictable!"
However, after continuous wonderful cooperation, the two did not have any gestures to communicate with each other, and each silently walked away, it seems to prove that the situation is not as Bob Clem said...
Until the injury stoppage time, the score still did not change, the scene began to set off waves ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ cheers flooded the entire stadium. For the fans, in these two halfs, they saw two different appearances of Schalke 04: Schalke in the first half, just like before, showed his domineering dominance. In the second half, Schalke showed The toughest defense in recent seasons.
Both offensive and defensive, domineering and tenacity coexist. Such a Schalke makes the miners fans in the stands who are over 60 years old for a lifetime. Only then can I see it, and this is already a memory half a century ago.
For a time, dream back to childhood.
……
With C Ronaldo's kick kick, Neuer flew out of the sideline, Manchester United did not even get a corner kick, Rossetti no longer gave time, whistle to end the game.
The defending champion went away with two goals and a feather, and within ten minutes after the game became the headlines covering the mainstream European sports media.
And this victory greatly inspired Schalke's morale, then returned to the league, the away game against Mönchengladbach, only need to win to win the championship.
This time, Schalke 04 did not make the mistake of two seasons ago. Despite Meng Xing's tenacious play, Marco Marin grabbed the lead in the first half, but Zhou Tiancheng first assisted Kuranyi in the 54th minute to break the goal. In the 87th minute, he used another foot to hit the dead end. The positioning ball gives the game a final conclusion.
The moment the final whistle blew, all of Schalke's coaches rushed into the court in one go, and embraced the players kneeling on the court passionately.
For every Schalke, only they know what weight this long-lost champion has.
