Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 116

Sports Channel Tao Wei said: "God rewards those who work hard. Zhang Yuan worked hard all night and finally scored a goal before the end. This is also our Chinese player's first goal in the Champions League!"

"Well, Schalke 04 played against Schalke 04 at home in this game was relatively difficult, and Porto still suffered a lot in the face of technical skills. Before the game, everyone might think that Schalke [-] had a good draw, but this game Tell us that although this lottery isn’t a bad lottery, it’s not a good lottery either!” He Wei laughed.

Zhang Yuan scored a goal. Both Raiola and Muller stood up and applauded Zhang Yuan. Raiola's face was full of smiles. It was a good goal.

Slomka is naturally excited and happy, while Porto coach Ferreira is full of gloom. Quaresma's fall has affected the attention of the defense. This situation should not have happened. Two goals The disadvantage is quite uncomfortable for Porto, and they have only one way to attack when they return to the home court.

After the celebration, we went back to the halftime and kicked off again. Porto was dying, and the players started the madness in the last few minutes. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan's goal greatly inspired the Schalke 04 players. Everyone gritted their teeth and resisted. In the last few minutes of the attack, with Duhamel's whistle, Schalke 04 beat the opponent 2:0 at home.

Compared with the knockout stage, the score of 2:0 is a very good score. Schalke 04 has a much higher hope of advancing, but it is not an example of being overturned. I think it was the UEFA Champions League in the 03-04 season. Many classic comeback examples, Schalke 04 still cannot be taken lightly in the next round.

Today's Zhang Yuan was not only interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone, but was also called by Slomka to participate in the post-match press conference.

This is also the first time that Zhang Yuan participated in the post-match press conference with the head coach. Generally speaking, the team will hold a press conference before and after the game. The head coach will choose players to participate, of course, he can also choose not to bring players to participate. , Zhang Yuan has never had the opportunity to participate, this time Slomka intends to let Zhang Yuan meet the reporters.

The reporters asked questions sometimes to the head coach, and sometimes to Zhang Yuan, but today, obviously more people asked Zhang Yuan.

"Zhang, can you talk about how you feel now?"

"I'm very happy that we won the final victory. It was a really difficult game. Porto are a very good team. They did a good job of controlling the ball and caused us a lot of trouble! But we also It was a great performance and deserved the final victory!"

"Zhang, this is the first goal in the Champions League, what do you think?"

"This is my first Champions League goal?! Sorry, I really forgot! I hope this is not my last Champions League goal!" Zhang Yuan joked with a smile.

The reporters below also laughed, and then began to ask questions.

"Zhang, now Schalke 04 holds the advantage of two goals, and even blocked the opponent. Does this mean that you have more advantages to advance to the next round?"

"Of course, we have a two-goal advantage, but we are not sure about winning. I think my probability of advancing is still only 50.00%!" Zhang Yuan's answer was really contradictory.

After attending the press conference with head coach Slomka, Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen went home together. Mai Xuewen is living a very chic life now, and Zhang Yuan is a veritable follower, although he lacks interest in football , but this job is much easier and has a lot of money.

Before Zhang Yuan arrived in Germany, several domestic companies approached Mai Xuewen, hoping that Zhang Yuan could be the spokesperson for their company or products. Mai Xuewen selected several relatively large companies as cooperation partners. The business circle doesn't know much about it either, but he is very cautious in choosing a partner company for Zhang Yuan, which is also related to Zhang Yuan's image.

According to the original agreement with Zhang Yuan, he also made a fortune. Of course, Zhang Yuan made more money, but these companies only used Zhang Yuan's portrait, and it was impossible for Zhang Yuan to spare time to go back to shoot advertisements.Only Qian Huan was sure that they would shoot the commercial, and of course it could only be done when Zhang Yuan was free.

As soon as the two of them got home, Raiola called Zhang Yuan.

"Hello, Mino!"

"Hello! Zhang Yuan, you did a great job tonight! I didn't waste my long distance to watch the game!" Raiola joked, but what he said was also true. He seldom went to the scene to watch the game. Reporters rarely get pictures of him on the court.

"It's okay! When are you leaving?" Zhang Yuan asked modestly about Raiola's schedule. Raiola is actually very busy. He stayed here for several days this time, so he should be leaving too. , There are other players' affairs that need to be dealt with.

"Leave tomorrow morning! Zhang Yuan has something I need to remind you!" Raiola said cautiously.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.

"I have been in contact with Muller in the past two days. It can be seen that they are already thinking about using your buyout clause! You are developing very well in Schalke 04, but you will have three options this summer. Going to Inter Milan, being bought out by Schalke 04, and going to other clubs, it is still too early to think about transferring, you don’t need to think so much, just play well, okay? In addition, if Schalke 04 want to go with You have come into contact with the matter of transfer, I hope you will tell me as soon as possible, and don’t express your position lightly for the time being, leave everything to me, okay?”

"Okay, I got it!" Zhang Yuan replied, and Raiola was also doing it for his own good.

"You have to know that you are a professional player now, and sometimes you can't be emotional. Do you know why their youth player Ozil left?"

"I don't know, what's going on?" Ozil is still from Gelsenkirchen. He joined Schalke 04's youth training camp since he was a child, but he left during the winter break. Zhang Yuan didn't care about Ozil. Well, of course I don't know why.

"Hehe, it's not because of the money! Schalke 04 is unwilling to offer a salary that matches his performance! I tell you not to express your opinion because you don't want me to be passive when talking about salary with them. Of course, there are other reasons. We are talking at the time, anyway, just don’t express your opinion easily now!” Raiola said conclusively.

After communicating with Raiola, Zhang Yuan hung up the phone and fell into deep thought. He personally thinks Schalke 04 is very good, the main reason is because of Slomka, who can give him unreserved trust , which is very important for his growth.Back at Inter Milan, he didn’t think he would be able to work under Mancini. This man trusts veterans too much and doesn’t give young people any chance at all. He looks at Balotelli differently, but Zhang Yuan doesn’t think much of him. In his eyes, with Mancini around, Zhang Yuan didn't want to return to Inter Milan and continue to be on the bench.

Schalke 04's next opponent is Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen and Schalke currently have the same points, but they rank ahead of Schalke 04 with a goal difference advantage, so the contest between the two sides is very important.

Leverkusen is also a traditional strong team in the Bundesliga. It has been stable in the upstream position in recent years. The closest year to the championship was the 01-02 season. That season was also their saddest season. Lost to Schalke 1 in the German Cup, lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League, and won the unprecedented "Sanya King", which is really unlucky.After this season, they won't have that kind of opportunity again, and now they can only achieve stable and above-average results, and they are just strong contenders for a place in the European Championship.

Although this game is very important, after the second day of training, Slomka specifically found Zhang Yuan. He told Zhang Yuan that he would not arrange for Zhang Yuan to start this game. The double match in a week is still against Zhang Yuan's physical fitness. The impact was great, and it was shown in the training. Slomka saw it and decided to let Zhang Yuan sit on the bench in this heavyweight contest and take a round of rest after deliberating for a long time.

Of course, Zhang Yuan still hopes that he can go, but when Slomka told him the decision, Zhang Yuan didn’t say what I could do, but accepted the arrangement. He didn’t like to question Slomka’s decision. Lomka may have his own considerations.

In fact, in terms of physical fitness, Leverkusen also played in the European game in the middle of the week. They played in the Europa League and beat Galatasaray 5:1 at home, but their start time was nearly two days later than Schalke 04. time, which means that they have to rest 04 hours less than Schalke 44. Don’t underestimate these 44 hours. It has a great impact on the team’s state, so many media before the game are optimistic about Schalke who has more rest time 04.

What's interesting is that Skibe is from Gelsenkirchen, and he spent his career at the Schalke 04 club, with a total of 14 games for the club, and then ended his playing career. A Schalke 04 fan, he even has a Schalke fan membership card, the number is 00878973, his daughter and her boyfriend are both Schalke fans, the daughter is currently doing an internship in Gelsenkirchen, and Her boyfriend is the main force of the youth team of a local low-level club, but now he is going to lead Leverkusen to a match against his favorite team. I really don’t know how he feels. He may be happy and regretful when he wins Bar.

However, in an interview before the game, Skibe said that he only considered Leverkusen now, after all, he is the coach.

In an interview with the news media before the game, Slomka admitted that Schalke 04 does have a physical advantage, but he asked everyone not to forget that Schalke 04’s opponents are not so easy to deal with, and their physical energy consumption is greater. Against Leverkusen, you have to grit your teeth and persist.

He said it as if Leverkusen's victory over Galatasaray was an easy victory.
