Chapter 173 Stepping Stones

The Celtics are definitely not an underdog. Putting aside the title of the champion of the Scottish Super League, when Zhou Tiancheng actually set foot on the Celtic Park, the audience gave out unique cheers and cheers.

"Papa-hoo, papa-hoo!"

The cheering sound of the audience was very rhythmic, which was a way of cheering that Zhou Tiancheng had never heard before, but when all the fans yelled that rhythmic "roar", Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

He subconsciously glanced at the stands facing the player tunnel. A huge lion head TIFO was spread in the center of the stands, with its mouth wide open.

Zhou Tiancheng took a deep breath, he knew this game was not easy to play. Walking into the scene you know the Celtics are weak outside, but definitely not here.

Teams with background are very difficult to deal with. He couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Gross Kreutz: "Kevin, how do you feel now?"

"The atmosphere here... is very uncomfortable." Gross Kreutz's expression was obviously more nervous than what he said. Because this way of cheering maximizes the decibels on the field into the ears of every player, it is naturally an incentive for the home team—the Celtic players clapped their hands and cheered for the fans in the stands. There was interaction, they enjoyed the power delivered to them from the stands, and for Dortmund they felt as though they had come to something more terrifying than the Westphalian.

Westphalia is known as Europe's No. 1 devil's home stadium. Dortmund's historical record and honor bonus are somewhat. In fact, if you look at it purely from the atmosphere of the fans, this title is still open to question. At least the Celtics' home atmosphere is not weaker than them.

"The only difficulty that Dortmund needs to solve is to overcome the interference in the stadium. The cheering method of Celtic fans is very special. This cheering method is a cry that originated from the Vikings in the Nordic region. The roar of the Beijing lion is used to boost the morale of one's own team and deter opponents. In history, the Celtics and Vikings lived next to each other, so they have such a habit. At the home court of the Celtics, Dortmund especially needs to calm down. Even Barcelona lost here."

Duan Xuan's on-site commentary still did enough homework, and he came up with a piece of popular science before the start of the game, which is very in line with CCTV's commentary style. But then Xu Yang took over his words and changed the subject: "However, Zhou Tiancheng needs some challenges, haha! To him, this is nothing at all! A mature and mentally strong player will not be disturbed by these factors Now Zhou Tiancheng needs a victory that makes people speechless, to increase his competitiveness for the Golden Globe Award, cheer for him!"

And Marcel Leff was sitting at the rear of German TV 2, and the live signal was sent to the stand with the lion head TIFO. This scene caused the German famous mouth to laugh: "This lion is really scary, haha! Kyle The iconic east stand of the Tessernauts - the Lion of Lisbon, but can it bite Dortmund? Ha ha!"

Just like the South Stand of San Siro and the South Stand of the Westphalon Stadium, if you are looking for a remnant of its glorious past in this down-and-out Scottish giant, it must be the East Stand, which is the "Lion of Lisbon" stand.

This stand is full of grizzled old fans who have cheered for the Celtics all their lives. Because only they have experienced the unprecedented glorious moment of the Celtics.

In the European Champions Cup final in 1967, the powerful Celtics met Inter Milan, which was at the peak of the "big international era" at the time, at the National Stadium in Lisbon.

Everyone thought they wouldn't have any chance, especially after falling behind by one goal, but Celtic finally came back 2-1. The eleven players who played at that time were called the Lions of Lisbon. Even now, the most historical and traditional green and white striped shirt of the Portuguese super giant Sporting Lisbon is to pay tribute to the indomitable Celtics in that game, imitating their jerseys.

Since that game, Celtic's East Stand has been named the Lion of Lisbon, representing a memory of history.

In fact, the West Stand also has its own name - Stein Stand. The head coach who led the Celtics to make history at the time was also the mentor of Sir Alex Ferguson.

But in the eyes of the Dortmund players, it made no difference, they all had to finish the game under the same pressure.

To be honest, the challenge is definitely not small. The Celtics may not have the strength to come and go with Dortmund, but at their home court, they put up an iron bucket formation and have the home atmosphere as a boost. The only test left for Dortmund It's a broken bucket.

This is a difficult problem. But Klopp is not too worried. Zhou Tiancheng has an almost unsolvable long-range shooting ability, which is a sharp weapon that breaks the iron barrel.

In the third minute of the opening game, Wanyama, the Kenyan midfielder in the Celtics, was given a yellow card by the referee for making an explosive tackle when Zhou Tiancheng received the ball. Immediately after Dortmund set the ball quickly, Zhou Tiancheng received a cross push from Gotze, and a volley shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

This is just the prelude to the opening. There is nothing wrong with the Celtics' pragmatic choice of defensive counterattack, but Wanyama, a defensive midfielder, received a yellow card at the beginning of the game, which is destined to leave room for Zhou Tiancheng.

It took only 11 minutes for Dortmund to break the deadlock. Zhou Tiancheng received Lewandowski's back and made a kick on the penalty area line. Wanyama next to him could only follow. When Zhou Tiancheng was about to kick, he pinned his hopes on the central defender. With a yellow card in his body, he was very hesitant and didn't dare to tackle sideways, but in that instant, the ball had already been shot.

Passed between the legs of the defender who fell to the ground and blocked him, rubbing against the post and shooting into the absolute dead corner.

Klopp clenched his fists easily on the coach's bench. What he needed was such a goal, and he established a lead early. This game is easy to say.

Eight minutes later, Zhou Tiancheng observed that Lewandowski had squeezed out the position in front of the two players in the middle of the midfield, and began to turn around in the penalty area. He made a very imaginative undercut pass. No one knows why he chose this way, but the problem is that the effect is excellent.

Facing the ball coming from behind, Lewandowski simply made an undercut, cleanly reversed offside, and sent the ball directly into the opponent's goal when the opponent's goalkeeper picked the ball with both hands.

In less than twenty minutes, the team led by two goals. Both goals were directly related to Zhou Tiancheng.

The first goal can't explain anything, but the second goal is what really increases his fans. Maybe this can't be directly related to the Ballon d'Or, but it is undeniable that this way of playing football gives him a lot of fans. Everyone brings surprises, surprises, and pleasing feelings.

When such a scene becomes a habit, everyone will gradually accept it.

The commentators on Zhou Tiancheng's side were all excited, Duan Xuan and Marcel Leff already knew about it. They want to see this performance.

In a sense, in today's game, the Celtics were unlucky and destined to be a stepping stone for others.
