Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 152 Defensive Counterattack
"Oh, don't worry! The epicenter is in Wenchuan, and your hometown is in the east of Sichuan. There may not be anything wrong at home!" Mai Xuewen handed the computer in his hand to Zhang Yuan, and comforted him. In fact, he had no idea, but at this moment Always say something to comfort Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan did not pick up the computer, but kept on calling, kept calling, and after a while the tears finally stopped, and he heard the news. He was young and couldn't bear it. At this moment, he finally stopped his emotions, but he was still worried. Crazy, the phone keeps ringing.

"Give me your sister's phone number, I'll call your sister and brother-in-law, and you call your parents!" Mai Xuewen suggested.

Zhang Yuan copied Zhang Caiying's phone number to Mai Xuewen, and the two called separately. Mai Xuewen's hometown is in Fujian. He had already called his family just now. The whole family is safe. The most important thing now is to help Zhang Yuan get in touch with his family. .

After an hour of hard work, Zhang Yuan finally got through to his mother Zhao Ju on the phone. The situation at home is very good. Zhang Shiqing and Zhao Ju are both safe and sound, but a wall of the pigsty at home collapsed, and Zhang Yuan suddenly fell down. a stone.

Parents reassure Zhang Yuan not to worry, there is no problem in his hometown, and the two of them will take good care of themselves.

On the other hand, Mai Xuewen also successfully called Zhang Caiying. Zhang Yuan felt relieved when he learned that his family members were all fine, and then he called his domestic friends and classmates to inquire about the situation.

After a whole morning passed, the phone call finally ended, and Zhang Yuan regained his energy to read the news on the Internet.

On the way to the training base the next day, Zhang Yuan said to Mai Xuewen, "Brother Mai, I want to donate some money to the elders in my hometown. What do you think?"

"Donate money? It's a good thing! Of course it's no problem! I'll donate with you too!" Mai Xuewen agreed very much.

"Well, please contact me about this matter, I want to donate 10 euros!" Zhang Yuan actually decided to donate some money because he saw the talk of donating money on the Internet.

"Okay, no problem! I'll get in touch!" This kind of thing is not difficult for Mai Xuewen.

Natural disasters are merciless, and people are merciful. Although Zhang Yuan can't do anything abroad, he has done a lot of things under the planning of Mai Xuewen in the past few days. Not to mention donating to charities, he even recorded a personal video on the Internet Play, calling on fans to actively donate money and materials to help the affected people.

Zhang Yuan's actions played a very good role in appealing. Many fans left messages in Zhang Yuan's fan bar and must follow Zhang Yuan's example and donate money to help the people in the disaster area. It was hype, which almost made Mai Xuewen mad, but Zhang Yuan himself was very calm. He only wanted to have a clear conscience when he did this kind of thing, and what others thought was not important to him.

Although Zhang Yuan has spent a lot of energy in persuading donations, he will not relax during training. What is going on in daily life is still the same now. During training intervals, many teammates asked Zhang Yuan about the earthquake situation in China. The magnitude of the earthquake was relatively large, and the death toll was relatively high. Many foreign news media were very concerned about this incident, and the players of Schalke 04 knew about it.

Everyone expressed sympathy to Zhang Yuan's country, but there was nothing material. Zhang Yuan secretly slandered: "You sons of Guizi should give some money!"

As for the slander, Zhang Yuan will not persuade them to donate. We are not from the same country, and he has never believed in international friends. As a country, the most important thing in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters is self-help.

On May 5th, the Grundig Stadium, home of the Nuremberg team, was full of seats. This game is very important for both sides. Nuremberg is currently ranked 17th, with 16 points, and is in the relegation zone, but they are 31th behind. Lefield is only 15 points away.

Nuremberg is naturally unwilling to be relegated, so they not only have to desperately win Schalke 04 in this game, but also look at the results of the game between Stuttgart and Bielefeld. If Bielefeld wins Stuttgart away, then everything will be over. Bundesliga is playing.

The most ideal state is of course to kill Schalke 04 at home, and Stuttgart kill Bielefeld at home. In this case, Nuremberg successfully landed and Bielefeld was stepped into the water.

Schalke 04 now occupies the second position. Although it is not much different from Werder Bremen, it is far away from No.4 Leverkusen and No.5 Hamburg. Winning will qualify for the Champions League, but the third will be the qualifying round.

Buskens and Mulder analyzed the current situation faced by the two teams, and felt that Nuremberg must actively attack at their home court, and would definitely not be a turtle.Then Schalke 04 naturally don't be so eager to attack. Although Schalke 04 also needs a game, the urgency is obviously not like that of Nuremberg.

So in today's starting lineup, Buskens formed a 4312 formation, and the midfielder deployed 3 defenders. Jones, Ernst, and Gross Müller were responsible for the defense. Rakitic's position was the attacking midfielder. , Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi partnered up front.

Buskens and Mulder made up their minds to play defensive counterattack tactics at the beginning.

Nuremberg's current coach is Thomas von Hesse. He succeeded Hans Meyer as Nuremberg's head coach in February this year. However, judging from the current results, his agency career has not been successful, and Nuremberg is still deep in the relegation zone.

At the beginning of the game, as Buskens and Mulder expected, von Hessen had no choice but to choose Nuremberg to attack at the beginning, but under the tight defense of Schalke 04, he got very few opportunities.

There are also stars in the Nuremberg team. Garasek was the captain of the Czech national team but he is very old. He is now 35 years old.

Mintal was the top scorer in the Bundesliga in the 04-05 season, but he was plagued by injuries afterwards. In the 05-06 and 06-07 seasons, his number of appearances dropped sharply, and his goals also dropped sharply. Increase, but the scoring rate is not good, so far only scored 5 goals.

Therefore, even though Nuremberg is attacking fiercely now, the effect is not very good. Instead, Schalke 04 is given a chance to counterattack. However, Nuremberg's offside tactics have been executed well so far, and Schalke 04 has not been given much chance. .

Zhang Yuan did not retreat at all in this game. He and Kuranyi stared at Nuremberg's defense line, always looking for opportunities to counterattack.

In the second half of the season, Zhang Yuan basically played as a left winger. This game started as a double forward. He and Kuranyi are both at the front. He succeeded three times on his body, but Zhang Yuan failed to hit an offside.

However, Nuremberg's current tactic itself is walking a tightrope in the face of a fast player like Zhang Yuan. If you are not careful, you will really fall into the abyss.

Sure enough, in the 41st minute of the first half, Zhang Yuan's chance came. Jones intercepted Nuremberg Garasek's pass in the backcourt, and without hesitation, he directly made a long pass, which was aimed at Nuremberg's back. Defending his central defender Wolf opened a distance of about two meters.

As soon as Jones passed the ball, Zhang Yuan started. Wolfe's reaction was naturally not slow at such a long distance, but even with a distance of two meters, Zhang Yuan still used his excellent explosive power to catch up with Wolff.

Wolfe could feel that Zhang Yuan was almost catching up with him, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart, this fucking speed is too fast!
Wolfe's next reaction was that he was about to foul. Zhang Yuan overtook him. Wolfe stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Yuan's jersey. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan is not the Zhang Yuan he was two years ago. Now Zhang Yuan is about 185cm taller than Wall. The husband is taller and has a stronger physique. Wolfe can't hold his hand at all.

With this momentum, Zhang Yuan broke through Wolff's block, and Nuremberg's goalkeeper Kewell was forced to give up the goal. Zhang Yuan didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, and directly shot a lob, and the ball easily entered the goal of Nuremberg.

Relying on this counterattack, Schalke 04 leads away to Nuremberg and completely takes the initiative!
There were deafening boos from the fans at the scene, but Zhang Yuan didn't care about the boos, he still ran to the corner to kneel down to celebrate!
Buskens began to applaud Zhang Yuan after he high-fived Mulder on the sidelines. He basically understood Nuremberg's tactics in the first half, while Schalke 04's defensive counterattack only needed to be caught once to solve it. Opponent, it turns out he was right.
