v3 Chapter 293: The 2nd European Super Cup
After the league officially started, most of the attention of the entire Bundesliga has returned to the topic, focusing on the two teams Bayern and Dortmund. The betting companies also opened the first season to win the odds for the first time at the beginning of the season. Dortmund pressed Bayern to the first place for the first time. The odds were a bit terriblely low, 1.5 for 1 and Bayern for 1 and 2. It was supposed to be relatively low, but obviously in the eyes of bookmakers, Zhou Tiancheng does not leave, and they have little chance of overthrowing Dortmund to regain hegemony.
And the start Dortmund did play a good state. After the 4:0 victory over Augsburg in the first round, the second round defeated the newly promoted Brunswick in the second round, and the third round beat Bremen 1:0. Although it was not as good as winning the first game, especially in the face of the promotion, it was a bit thrilling to win. The third scene was also a hard fight against Bremen. Relying on Zhou Tiancheng's foot to direct the free kick to lock the victory, but anyway, he won.
At the beginning of the season, Klopp did not ask much. He was originally consciously adjusting the lineup. Aubameyang, Humels, and even the main goalkeeper Weidenfeller were in the rotation. He has to guarantee the status of each main player to ensure that the European Super Cup at the end of August can get good results.
Of course, Zhou Tiancheng is an exception. Even if Klopp wants to give him a rest, he must carefully consider it. Only when his state can be guaranteed, Uncle Zha dare to rotate other main forces with confidence.
Everything is making way for the European Super Cup. And it turned out that he didn't need to rest at all.
After ending the third round of the league, Dortmund's schedule for the next week was postponed, and the team can rush to distant Eastern Europe to prepare for the European Super Cup.
This year's game was played at the Eden Stadium in Prague, the Czech capital. In order to expand the influence of Europe's top tournaments, UEFA this year is the first time since 1998 that the European Super Cup has moved away from the "home" stadium of Louis II in Monaco. And Dortmund's opponent in this year's Super Cup is also an old acquaintance.
Chelsea, the "blue team" of the English Premier League. An old opponent in the Champions League final two seasons ago.
And the coach is also an old acquaintance. The former Real Madrid coach "Madman" Mourinho, although the class from Real Madrid's face was not good, but Mu Shuai returned to the beginning of his coaching career and took off from the first day of taking office. Neo said that he will lead Chelsea to a higher peak this season.
At Vaclav Havel Prague International Airport, several posters were printed on the publicity posters, and Zhou Tiancheng was in the middle C position, even Mourinho was beside him.
I don’t know if Mourinho noticed that the propaganda posters issued by the organizers were very cryptic. In short, he was very confident when facing interviews with reporters: "The best players are in the Premier League. My team has all There are a lot of players who are good enough. I don’t quite understand why some players who won the Golden Ball do not accept new challenges. This only shows that he also has weaknesses, so he does not have enough confidence to try new ones. The challenge is just that we have not discovered it in the past."
"So, Mr. Mourinho, have you found it now?" The Dortmund reporter asked politely. No one can hear Mourinho attacking Zhou Tiancheng in the sand, and of course they are even more polite.
Mourinho raised his head: "Of course I will not tell you now, you will naturally know when you go to the court."
When Zhou Tiancheng heard Chinese journalists retelling Mourinho, he just smiled: "This question is not interesting? What is Mourinho's nickname? Madman, Madman is going to be crazy, if he becomes It’s possible to be modest when you’re humble. Now... just be happy, just be happy."
Zhou Tiancheng is not willing to say too much, and the facts will prove everything.
Klopp just made the players understand that this stage is more precious than the Champions League final-this is a stage that only the champion can deserve.
"I don't want you to be influenced by the media and play your best. We are Champions League champions, should we perform better than them, don't we? Take every opportunity, especially with some players, this is very rare The chance to touch this trophy."
Klopp's words before the game were addressed to several newcomers such as Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan, but his words made the players feel a little unreasonable: Is the leader nervous? For us, even if we miss this time, there is no chance in the future? With the strength of Dortmund, can't we win the championship?
What are you thinking about?
What's more, I haven't played this time yet, and I want to win the championship, even if I let them come!
...
Just four minutes into the opening, Dortmund took the lead and almost grabbed the lead. Zhou Tiancheng cut off Lampard's pass in the midfield, and then crossed the top of England's central defender Terry to find Aubameyang directly. Aubameyang's outstanding speed stood out from the back line in an instant.
Whether it is Gary Cahill or veteran Terry, they tend to be in the traditional British style of central defender. They turn slowly and start slowly. Their specialty is in defending high altitude balls. Speed killers like Aubameyang are their best Unwilling to face existence.
Aubameyang traversed the entire back line, but in the face of Cech, he was short of the United States and China. He wanted to choose a kick, but Cech fell to the ground and stood firmly in his arms.
"Aubameyang! Aw, god!" Marcel Leyff shouted regretfully: "The speed is amazing, and it's very good with Zhou's pass, but the last one is too simple, I want to use it like this It’s not that easy to push the shots!”
Aubameyang looked very annoyed. When he was scratching his ears and scratching his head, Zhou Tiancheng came over and smiled and comforted him: "Hey, Meiyangyang, get up, you are doing very well!"
Obamey Yang saw it was Zhou Tiancheng~lightnovelpub.net~ and immediately gave a thumbs up, saying that he wore it well. This ball is entirely his own problem. But then he immediately asked: "Well, I didn't hear clearly, what did you just call me?"
Zhou Tiancheng repeated with a smile: "Meiyang Yang, Mei-Yang-yang, did you understand?"
Aubameyang shook his head, obviously he didn't know what Zhou Tian became so called him.
Zhou Tiancheng explained with a smile: "You are in flames, do you know in China? You are called by fans now. Meiyangyang is a very cute little cartoon sheep in our country. Chinese fans think you are cute before giving you. Such a nickname."
"Hahaha!" Aubameyang smiled back and forth, "Chou, I like this nickname."
Zhou Tiancheng patted his shoulder: "After a long time, you will find that joining Dortmund is definitely the most correct choice. But next time you have to seize the opportunity, you can't pass it on to me, don't waste the opportunity blindly. more cute."
The two people talked so well, and they were in a good mood. But Mourinho's mood on the sidelines was not so beautiful.
