Chapter 195 Kid Lightning Failed to Save Schalke 04
It was only at this time that Lu Teng realized that it might not be a good idea to bring Zhang Yuan, who had lost his single sword, to the press conference. After he came out, he explained to Zhang Yuan.
"Well, Zhang Yuan, I didn't know that the reporters would actually attack you. I think you performed very well in this game! Don't take the words of the outside media to heart!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu Teng! It's okay, I won't take it to heart! I just hope to help the team!" Zhang Yuan smiled, and Lu Teng's explanation made him feel a lot better.
The next day, the German media was not full of praise for the Schalke 04 game. In their opinion, Schalke 04, the No.2 team in the Bundesliga, was suppressed at the home court of Inter Milan. There is no way, the goals are all flukes, and the chances of threatening the Inter Milan gate are too few.
It is completely different from the game against Barcelona last season, so the media gave the players relatively low ratings. As a key player for Schalke 04 this season, his performance is naturally the focus after the game.
The homepage of the "Kicker" website is composed of two pictures of Zhang Yuan in the game, half of which is Zhang Yuan jumping high under the double-team of Cambiasso and Cordoba, at least a head higher than the two The ball was headed into the goal, and the other one was missed and lay on the grass alone, with his face buried deep in the grass.
"Boy Lightning Failed to Save Schalke 04! ", this is an eye-catching headline. This article believes that Schalke 04 has put the heavy burden on Zhang Yuan, who is only 18 years old, since the beginning of this season, and acted too hastily.
The score of "Kicker" is relatively fair, giving Zhang Yuan 3 points, which is the highest in the team.
"Bild" was much harsher and only gave Zhang Yuan 3.5 points. Of course, the other players were even worse, but generally speaking, Zhang Yuan was the team's best performer among the two media.
Most of the other media follow and learn from the ratings of these two media, and the ratings are not high.
Another key figure is Rutten, who was criticized by the German media. Compared with the previous coach Slomka, Ruteng's record is a bit unreasonable. The home draw with Anorthosis, the weakest in the group, was suppressed by Inter Milan in the away game There is no power to fight back.
This is the main problem for the media to attack him. Everyone thinks that he has a problem with his tactical arrangement. There are three defensive midfielders in the midfield, but the team's defense is not much better. On the contrary, the offense is very weak , The team struggled to play anyone, and Kuranyi was used up at the center position.
It's not that Rutten has never seen what the media is like, and scoffed at what the media said. What do you know?
Back in Germany, Schalke 04 has only half a day to rest, because they will welcome Wolfsburg at home again on the afternoon of October 10th. Time is tight, and they must devote themselves to the preparations for this game.
Zhang Yuan is not the kind of ostrich who buries his head in the sand. He likes to read the news, and he has expected the reaction from the outside world. However, it is not that there are no media that say good things about him, such as "Ruhr News".
This newspaper is located in Dortmund, but it is oriented to the entire Ruhr area and the whole country. Sports is not their focus, but current affairs news is the focus. But this time they defended Zhang Yuan, thinking that slow motion shows The moment before Zhang Yuan touched the ball, the ball obviously jumped, which was the main reason for the mistake.
It's different in China. Many websites and newspapers applaud Zhang Yuan's performance. Schalke 04 lost, but Zhang Yuan's outstanding performance cannot be concealed at all.
The fans also complained for Zhang Yuan one after another. Hoffman even called Zhang Yuan to comfort Zhang Yuan. In fact, you performed very well. I am afraid that Zhang Yuan will affect his mood.
In fact, Zhang Yuan is not the same as before. He lost an important game and felt depressed for several days. The conversation between Mikhailovich and him this time is effective, at least he will not be too concerned about the outcome Going up, carrying a heavy burden in my heart before the next game.
On the afternoon of October 10th, Mikhailovich came as expected. He watched Zhang Yuan’s last match at San Siro. He could only express his sympathy. Every player may encounter a situation when the stadium is cheating. , Zhang Yuan unfortunately met in this important game.
In the evening, Zhang Yuan invited Mikhailovich to have a German meal in Gelsenkirchen, accompanied by Mai Xuewen and Digan. Mikhailovich had never played in Germany before, and his research on German football is not deep , so during the meeting, Zhang Yuan introduced some characteristics of German football to Mikhailovich. Of course, his summary is not very in-depth, and he has only played for half a season.
The host and guest had a great meal, and when it was time to say goodbye, Zhang Yuan called Hoffman and asked Hoffman to take Mikhailovich back to the hotel. He also specifically asked Hoffman to pick him up at the football game tomorrow. Look at Mikhailovich to the Schalke Stadium.
On the afternoon of October 10th, the Schalke Stadium was still crowded. The unfavorable start of the Champions League did not affect the support of the fans for the team. This time, the home fans still came to support the team enthusiastically.
Facts have also proved that fans still like Zhang Yuan very much. He definitely has the most star posters on site, even the native Neuer can't compare with him.
"I really didn't expect that after a while, your popularity has surpassed mine!" Neuer shouted to Zhang Yuan during the warm-up before the game.
"Haha, Manuel, you are jealous!" Rakitic fanned the flames.
"I dare not compare with you, you are the boss, I will always go with you!" Zhang Yuan said with a grin.
None of the three seemed to be affected by the midweek game, and they were in a good mood.
In this game, Rutten made a rotation. The midfielder Englar came back, but Rutten did not arrange him to start, but arranged Rakitic in the central midfielder. Digan ushered in the starting lineup again for the defender. With Westerman at center back, Bolton and Hewedes take turns.
Neither Kuranyi nor Farfan played in the frontcourt. Altintop Jr. and Asamoah replaced them. Zhang Yuan was pushed to the front by Ruteng as the team's center forward.
The center position is a bit unfamiliar to Zhang Yuan now. He can play in several positions in the frontcourt. Akori let Zhang Yuan play on the left from the beginning. Zhang Yuan is a right-footed player, and he plays against the left. The ball, but he really played well in this position, and the technical skills of his left foot have also improved a lot.
He used to play as a center forward only occasionally, and when he really played the center forward was when he was still in school.
Zhang Yuan is very happy at this position. The center position means that he has more options and a wider range of activities, because he is not a post center. The precise definition is that Ibrahimovic is almost an all-around center.
Rutten's main purpose of using Zhang Yuan to play center forward is to let Kuranyi take a break. Kuranyi has not been in a good state since the beginning of this season. Recently, the game has been intensive, so Ruteng simply let him take a rest.
In contrast, Lu Teng thinks that Zhang Yuan is more suitable to play as a center forward, and his thinking is the same as Zhang Yuan's positioning of himself. The range of activities is large, and he can also break through and break through. The team's tactics will be different, to play ground passes Mainly.
Wolfsburg has made big moves this season, spending more than any other Bundesliga team. In Wolfsburg's second year, Magath focused on defense and spent more than 2000 million. The Euros brought in Italian players Barzagli and Zacardo.These two players are both defenders. As we all know, Italy is rich in goalkeepers and defenders, and their defensive concepts are deeply rooted.
The purpose of Magath's introduction of these two players is very clear, that is, to consolidate the team's defense and strive for a higher level in the ranking, at least to enter the Champions League.
Both defenders started this game, with Barzagli and Ricardo Costa at centre-back and Zaccardo at right-back.
In the 451 formation sent by Magath, Dzeko is the only striker in the front. Grafite is absent because of the red card. Field, strong interception ability, Magath's arrangement of 5 midfielders is not without meaning to limit Schalke 04's midfield.
At the beginning, Rutten arranged three defensive midfielders, and most of the time in the selection of full-backs was to choose defenders with strong assists such as Rafinha and Pandel. The purpose is to hope that the full-backs can play a big role role, but his tactical thinking has not been well-known anyway, and the midfielder has done a poor job in connecting.
