Vol 2 Chapter 8: Who is Zhou Tiancheng?

  Duan Xuan has been doing CCTV's first-line commentary for eight years. He is very clear about the Chinese players who can enter the Schalke first team. For the current Chinese football, it represents what kind of hope.

   There was almost no delay. After returning to the CCTV headquarters building, Duan Xuan directly knocked on the door of Jiang Ping, the director of the sports channel. He hopes to arrange him to follow up close observation, and even interview Zhou Tiancheng.

After listening to Duan Xuan's application and reasons, Jiang Ping showed a very embarrassed expression and said, "Small paragraph, I fully understand your thoughts. But now there is really no one in Taiwan. You know, the current work in Taiwan The focus is on the Olympics, but this is a matter of great concern to the whole country. This matter will be put aside for the time being, right? Wait until the Olympics are over."

Duan Xuan insisted: "Mr. Jiang, as long as you approve me to go alone, I still think we should pay more attention to him. This player has never been followed by domestic media, and now suddenly appears on the first team of Schalke 04. If he is really strong, it may be a new banner for Chinese foreign players. Our CCTV should first report such excellent foreign players."

Jiang Ping pondered for a moment, weighed a little, and still insisted on his own opinion: "Small paragraph, don't expect too much from an unfamiliar young man. Now he is only on the big list of the Bundesliga first team. Can he play? I don’t know. And you know, the national Olympic team played this way in the local battle. The people are just getting angry with football. It is not appropriate to add fuel to the fire at this time. The next issue of "World Football" can carry a sentence, if it is true It’s gold. Sooner or later, it will shine. No one can grab the right to interview with us."

   was rejected by the leader, Duan Xuan was also mentally prepared, who made football not an advantage such as diving, weightlifting, national table tennis, and even in terms of the current three Olympic Games, women's volleyball and men's basketball are more concerned than football. The former is the defending champion, the latter is led by NBA superstar Yao Ming, and both have the opportunity to look forward to a breakthrough. Only the performance of the National Olympics men's football team is more like to smash the field and block it.

   But Duan Xuan still asked the staff of the "World Football" program team to pay more attention to the Bundesliga news. He believes that the unknown is always worth looking forward to.

  ……

   The week before the start of the new season of the Bundesliga, the German Cup took the lead in the first round. More like a prelude to the new season.

   The first round of the German Cup for the Bundesliga team is more like a walk through, Schalke 04's first opponent is the fourth-level regional league team Humboldt. Slomka still has a comprehensive consideration of the first game of the new season. The starting lineup has a lineup of main and substitute mashups, including Altentop Jr. and Asamoah are among them. Obviously, the coaching staff still hopes that these The main force is as stable as possible.

  Zhou Tiancheng did not appear in the starting lineup, not because he was not capable enough. On the contrary, Sloemka already trusted his ability and gave him sufficient rest time. Killing the chicken with a sabre, the Bundesliga, which starts next, has a lot of opportunities for him to exert his ability.

However, the embarrassing thing is that Schalke 04 faced the opponent's 5-4-1 iron bucket array and only scored a goal in the first half. Over half of the half had a ball control rate of 15%. Most of the shots were blocked by the brave goalkeeper. The only goal was a penalty, which was scored by right-winger Lowenkland.

   In the face of low-level league teams, only one goal lead, Sloemka was very dissatisfied. At the beginning of the second half, Zhou Tiancheng and Kuranyi both put on the battlefield to strengthen the midfield and the striker.

  Obviously, the goal of this ball is not only to win, but also to win beautifully.

When Zhou Tiancheng came on the court, Rakitic was immediately liberated. He could devote himself to the offensive organization with no regard for defense, and Zhou Tiancheng could also provide strong support on the offensive end. His large-scale running and fast and accurate transmission can fully bring about life. The entire midfield.

   Facing an opponent like Humboldt, Zhou Tiancheng didn't even bother to rely on the help of the system to understand the opponent. He was confident that with his own strength, he could cope with it.

Zhou Tiancheng regretted that he didn’t score his first team first goal in the last warm-up match. However, the team always came. This game only took ten minutes for Zhou Tiancheng to play and caught a defense outside the penalty area. The loophole, after one step of lateral dribbling, vigorously volleyed the dead corner, and the opponent's goalkeeper was too long to catch.

   After scoring, Zhou Tiancheng knelt on the ground and kissed his jersey, but he didn't even think of good things in pairs. In the 80th minute, he received a corner kick from Rakitic and scored twice. Although the goal came later, but the first time to represent the first team to break the goal is two yuan alone, such a sign Zhou Tiancheng is still satisfied.

The first round of the German Cup was unsurprising in the eyes of the German media. Bayern, Bremen, Schalke 04, Dortmund all passed the level, and there was nothing to watch for. The top points of these strong teams were overturned. Big news.

   However, not everyone thinks so.

  ……

CCTV five Olympic channels, during the Olympic Games, in order not to conflict with the time of the game, adjust the "World Football" program to 0: 00 am on Monday, but even so, still can not block the ratings of this program, for many habits to watch the five major leagues in Europe The loyal fans, staying up early in the morning is not a big deal. The five major leagues live + "World Football", this is a standard package for real fans for many years.

   In fact, ordinary fans think that the most suspenseful before the season is La Liga and the Premier League. Real Madrid Barcelona who will sit this year? Which team can be a spoiler like Villarreal, who won the runner-up last season? Who is more likely to win in the traditional Premier League quarter-finals? How long will it take Arsenal to break the championship shortage?

   Everything is suspense.

   However, at the beginning of today's show, the program group was uncharacteristically focused on the Bundesliga first. Real Madrid Barcelona, ​​who had been struggling to get up and stay up late, and the Premier League fans protested collectively.

  What's wrong?

   What kind of good league do you have?

   But these fans still bear it. Because the team they want to watch is behind ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The host Duan Xuan suppressed the excited voice to the ears of every fan in front of the TV: "The first round of the German Cup in the new season ended two days ago In the game, Schalke defeated Humboldt 3:0 on the road, and Chinese player Zhou Tiancheng, who was only 19 years old, scored twice in the game..."

   Next is the live video of the goal. There is no more introduction about Zhou Tiancheng, because CCTV also has no information about Zhou Tiancheng.

   Many fans have trance brains for a moment, but they are sure they can hear clearly.

  Chinese player Zhou Tiancheng? Scored twice?

   All fans collectively ignorant, many Schalke fans were shocked on the spot to open their mouths.

  Although they felt unbelievable, the facts were in sight. The world's waves outside the penalty area hang dead. In the corner kick, he pulled the opponent and pulled sideways. Combined with Zhou Tiancheng's body, fans who know the ball a little know that this is a big cow.

   Many fans are excited and puzzled, they all ask the same question in their hearts. Who is Zhou Tiancheng?

   Such a bully character, why didn't he have any impression before, just like the one that popped out of the stone?

   Back then, the forum was still the most commonly used online social tool. So on the Tianya forum, a question and answer post "Who is Zhou Tiancheng who scored twice in the German Cup?" appeared, and within twenty minutes the reply was on the top of thousands of floors. No one really answered the question. Everyone responded with the same request "+1". For a time, this post was as hot as the Chinese and American men's basketball games in the Olympics.

  Zhou Tiancheng has become a mysterious focal point that many fans want to know.
