v3 Chapter 260: Pressure surge
phone-reading
In the final match, Lyon defeated Lyon 3:0 in the whole game. Jurado broke the goal after the second half. Schalke advanced to the top 16 in the group as no suspense. However, it is worth mentioning Pu's speech at the post-match press conference.
"As the result shows, I have nothing to say about this game. The players have not played to their true level... Congratulations to Schalke, I look forward to having another game with them."
It’s not surprising that any coach will have revenge after losing the ball, but few people directly show it. Puel's statement actually doesn't make any sense, but it's more of a declaration: despite losing the ball, the team's goal this season is absolutely ambitious.
You know, the two teams are in the same group, if you want to continue to meet this season, at least you have to wait until the semifinals or finals. Lyon reached the semifinals of the Champions League last season, it is not surprising that the team has further goals to reach the final. However, they have focused too much on this season, and have just been double-killed by Schalke, so most media regard this as a joke. The German media collectively fell at this time: Want to enter the final? It's not too late, let the dear father work hard! Don't be like this one anymore. Schalke didn't even get a red card, what the hell!
...
Locked in the group first, Magath successfully completed a small phase of the Champions League task and returned to the league, they continued the momentum of sings.
In the 14th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke won 5:0 to promote Kaiserslautern. It turns out that miracles can only happen once. Last season, they returned to the Bundesliga as the Bundesliga champion. Many media are still looking forward to whether they can once again create a miracle twelve years ago, but now the league is close to halfway, they are ranked tenth in the standings. For Schalke, they were even more defeated by five goals. Although judging from their current status and strength, there is not much difficulty in relegation, but don’t think about what makes a miracle. The reason why miracles can be talked about is often because it is unique and difficult to be copied.
In this five-ball victory, Zhou Tiancheng contributed two goals and staged an assist hat trick. All five goals were related to him, and the league goals rose to twelve. The gap in the league shooter list is still widening. The strength of Zhou Tiancheng's madness made the entire Bundesliga feel crazy: in the fourteenth round of the league, twelve goals were scored, as well as seven assists, ranking first in the shooter list and assist list. Not only did the job as a midfielder do a great job, but also dwarfed all the Bundesliga strikers.
The German media even regretted that Zhou Tiancheng would have been a German citizen. In that way, the German team is likely to have two more World Cups and a European Cup title...
For Magath, there are more exciting factors behind this victory: Huntelaar and Jiang Hao have scored goals in the starting and bench appearances, and the team’s front line has finally found a state. The next game will be against Bayern Munich, this game is really time.
In the first week of December, the Bundesliga entered the final stage halfway. Bayern is Schalke's last strong enemy in the half stage. At present, they are only three points away from Schalke, and Schalke is due to start the first three. The round is weak, and it is currently four points behind Dortmund, the top ranking. Don’t look at Zhou Tiancheng’s crazy performance. The news of the big and small media is Schalke, and their attention seems to be higher than the leader Dortmund. But in fact, Magath is under great pressure.
The decisive moment has arrived ahead of time! If they can't beat Bayern, Dortmund will further open the gap, the league line may be cold.
The good news is that the frontline has picked up and played as normal. Now they are not afraid of Bayern. Magath just had two points more confidence in the prospect of the game. As a result, the club received a fax before this game. Ma After Garter watched it, it burst on the spot.
It is a FAX dispatched by the Chinese Football Association. The Qatar Asian Cup is about to open early next month, and the national team coach is eager to call on three Chinese players in the Schalke team to participate in the final preparations for the national team.
In a formal intercontinental competition like the Asian Cup, the national team recruiting players is supported by the FIFA statute rules. The club has no power to refuse. And must be released at least half a month before the start of the contest.
It is for this reason that Magath exploded in a crude sentence: the fax clearly stated that the Asian Cup match time runs through the entire month of January. Counting the training time of the national team, Zhou Tiancheng will be absent for at least a month. It is conservatively estimated that Zhou Tiancheng will be absent from three to four league games, and that the team will play in the World Club Cup. Zhou Tiancheng will certainly not be able to participate.
This is still a conservative estimate. Zhou Tiancheng will return after finishing the group stage, and if he still participates in the knockout stage, the impact will be more serious.
That’s why Magath is so annoyed. Without Jiang Hao and Huntelaar and Raul, without Hao Junmin, he can enable Karimi who is waiting hard for the opportunity on the bench~lightnovelpub.net~ but no After Zhou Tiancheng, this problem can be serious. Expect Jurado and Baum John... I'm afraid that can only be the case, although Magath doesn't have much confidence, after all, the previous roles of the two have been only auxiliary.
What he can do is to negotiate with Zhou Tiancheng as much as possible, hoping that Zhou Tiancheng can postpone the time to the national team as much as possible.
Zhou Tiancheng understands Magath's ideas very well. The club and the national team's play tricks have known a lot since he started to be a fan. Only this time he had his own ideas.
"Boss, I understand your difficulty. I will try my best to play against Bayern, but I hope to go to the national team as soon as possible. There are not many opportunities for me to practice with the national team. The Asian Cup is an official competition after all. I still hope to play well."
Magath frowned and considered for a few minutes before speaking: "While I understand your wishes well, Zhou, as the team's head coach, I have to be responsible for the team. My attitude is that you can go, But at least you have to finish the remaining two games of the first half of the season. This is our bottom line, you are really important to the team."
Magath also reported to the club in response to the Chinese Football Association in this manner. Of course I'm not happy there. So a large wave of eye-catching dramas quickly fermented in the country.
On the side of the team, what Magath can do is to guarantee the game against Bayern. After such an episode, the pressure on the team increased dramatically.
Magath now only hopes that Zhou Tiancheng can complete the task of the national team as soon as possible. It is best to return to the team after the group stage.
Magath had been thinking about it for the past two days. But he was still very optimistic. Although he does not know the Chinese team, but according to some scattered perceptions, he feels that his wishes are likely to come true...
