Grassroots Glory

Zhou Tiancheng has never experienced severe weather conditions like Moscow.

　　 walked out of the Moscow airport, a cold wind rushed across the face, and his face hurt. Can't help sneezing, complaining: "I'm going, what the **** is this place!"

　　 From the Mediterranean climate, Germany with warm winters and cool summers to Moscow with a year and nine months of cold winters, the hands and feet felt frozen. The thought of playing an important Champions League knockout game in such weather, Zhou Tiancheng feels that the challenge is quite big, but he is not afraid of it, he is eager to challenge, such an experience is rare.

　　 It was assistant coach Hollerbach who heard Zhou Tiancheng sneeze and hurried up nervously to care: "Chou, do you care?"

　　Zhou Tiancheng gently shook his head: "My body is not that weak, Bainde."

　　Hollbach heard this answer, looked at him with a smile, nodded and said: "That's good, pay attention to the body, Zhou, the team does not want to have any accidents."

　　 February is the time for heavy snow in Moscow, and the impact on the upcoming UEFA Champions League game is that the turf at home is completely covered with furry snow. UEFA and Moscow can only frequently dispatch snowplows to clear the snow on the turf, but compared to such weather, this is obviously a lot of money, and the snow near the goal is the thickest on the sideline. When training, step on one foot, not the green grass, but the soft snow.

　　Based on such weather conditions, Magath can only reduce the step training, and instead focus on indoor training. At the same time, it also gave the coaching staff more time to teach the game strategy to the players.

Magath suits local conditions, such weather conditions are naturally not suitable for short-pass penetration in the game, so the basic tactics he established are based on simple and direct long-pass attacks, and at the same time require a long-range opportunity to decisively start . In bad weather, as many threats as possible goalkeepers, the chance of breaking the door is greater.

　　 On the other side, at the home team's pre-match preparation meeting, the Moscow Central Army coach Slutsky asked the same. In his eyes, such weather is the opportunity to seize.

"Gentlemen, today is our opportunity! Although the Germans are stronger than us, I believe that the monkeys coming from a warm zone must not be as familiar as we are to the snow, the reporters said that we This is the first time to play in the Champions League knockout, there is no resistance. Then let everyone see what we are like to pursue victory!"

　　 Forty-four-year-old Russian young coach Slutsky asked the team to play offensive football at home. For the Russians who have the militant gene in their bones, it is less than a last resort and will never shrink their defense. What's more, this is the Central Army of Moscow-the oldest and most brilliant club in Russia. The words "Central Army" make it easy to connect them with the Soviet Red Army. All players in this team have been instilled in the belief of active offensive.

　　With this belief, the Moscow Central Army won the UEFA Cup in the 2004-05 season. Slutsky, who just took over the team a few months ago, received rave reviews in the country for his record in the Champions League. This team has the largest group of fans in Russia, so now the whole Russia expects them as much as the Russian national team in 2008. Slutsky also hopes to make a difference in this game. This is Become his chance to get extra points in the hearts of fans.

　　 At the same time, he also knew clearly that Schalke 04's strength was above himself, so he decided to take a risk in the formation.

　　……

　　 The capacity of the Central Army Athletics Stadium is not large. The full capacity is only 30,000 people, but today the four stands are covered with red axe signs.

This is a sign of the Central Army fan group. He has the largest group of "Red Army" fans in Russia. The team represents the history of Russian football. The "Red Army" fans represent the wildness of Russian fans. All impressions of Russian fans, The most direct manifestation can be found in them. Under the heavy snow, fireworks began to ignite in the stands around, coupled with the wild cheering of Russian fans. For the visiting team, it was really a big test.

In the opening, the Central Army discharged a 4-2-3-1 formation. The right-wing forward Zagoyev broke through from the right on the opening and penetrated the defense of the left-back Pender. Fortunately, Westman made a timely defense and the other side opened the attack. It did not threaten the hinterland of the restricted area.

However, this greatly encouraged the home team, a Russian national TV commentator Liukov said a long voice of "Ah-ha!", reflecting the characteristics of his passionate commentary: "Alan Zagoyev! His speed is true Hurry up! Penetrated through Schalke 04's defense! The roar of the Russians began!!"

Magath stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction with the players in the field. He replaced Bordon with Pandel in the left back position today to prevent this situation, but this time the left defense was easily penetrated~www.wuxiaspot. com~ The opponent is fierce, and the team also expected it before the game. Zhou Tiancheng saw this situation, he decided to change his strategy appropriately, his opponent put a lot of pressure, and the defense must have a chance to take advantage. He signaled Rakitic forward, using continuous One pass passes layer by layer. He didn't rush forward, just tried his opponent at the beginning.

Schalke’s team’s technical ability is definitely above his opponents, but the Central Army’s defense today is also on the overall front. Slutsky hopes to pinch off Schalke’s firepower from the source, and the midfielder and midfielder are in the middle. A pocket was formed around the arc. Rakitic was snatched from behind by the opponent without even hitting the ball. At the same time, he was pushed down, and he had no chance to return to defense.

　　The counterattack of the Moscow Central Army quickly advanced to the front of Schalke's penalty area. Côte d'Ivoire forward Dunbia hit a low ball to test Neuer.

　　Zhou Tiancheng reluctantly spread his hand towards Rakitic. No matter how strong he was, he could not see the opponent's striker and front waist at the same time.

　　He had no intention to blame Rakitic, but now Schalke faces a very real problem——

"From the current situation, although I don't want to say that, Schalke did have a lot of trouble. Such weather conditions have restricted them from exerting their advantages. The Moscow Central Army is completely based on defensive counterattacks. Perhaps this problem is Give it to Magath to answer. If he just wants to guarantee not to lose on the road, it is not difficult for Schalke, but if he wants to win, he has to bear the risk of being counterattacked by the other side-and Magath He is not a tactically conservative person, but he has to weigh up whether he can bear such a price."
