Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 160 Reunion

In the summer of 2008, the focus of fans all over the world was not the Olympic Games but the European Cup held in Austria and Switzerland. Zhang Yuan did not go to watch the European Cup because he would rather stay with his family than watch the European Cup. He also watched a few games, and he also has a favorite team. He likes Italy very much because he learned about European football from Serie A. He was already an Italian fan when he was studying, and the first stop he landed in Europe was also Italy, he is still very close to Italy.

It's a pity that this time his favorite Italy was eliminated by the Matador in the quarter-finals, and then he turned to support the German team. Who knew that the German team was still eliminated by the Matador in the final, which made him very depressed.

Schalke 04 contributed two international players to the German team, Westermann and Kuranyi, but neither of them is the main force.

Neuer knew he had no chance before the end of the season, so he arranged a vacation early. When the final roster was announced, he was still very disappointed and called Zhang Yuan to complain.

Schalke 04 in the new season started pre-season training on July 7. Except for Westermann and Kuranyi who participated in the European Cup and Rafinha who participated in the Olympics, all other personnel went to Schalke 8. Collection of training bases.

This year's Schalke 04 has come and gone. Larsson, who was unable to play in Schalke 04, left the team. In addition, Bayramovich, Azaog, and Abel also left. They couldn't even play games in Schalke 04, and Schalke 04 didn't support idlers, so they didn't earn much transfer fee from them.

In terms of introduction, Schalke 04 not only bought out Zhang Yuan this year, but also introduced Eindhoven's Peruvian striker Farfan and Dutch defensive midfielder Englar. Engelal was Rutten's direct descendant in Twente.

Schalke 04 strikers are overcrowded in the new season, Zhang Yuan, Kuranyi, Asamoah, Altintop Jr., Roberto Ozawa, Sanchez, Farfan, a total of seven strikers, Schalke 04 senior management This is a headache. According to their intention, they want to send Sanchez and Roberto Ozawa away, but they have not been able to do so.

After the training ended on July 7, Zhang Yuan returned home and received a call from Digan. He still kept in touch with his four friends in Rimini, so he was not surprised to receive a call from Digan.

"Hey, Digan, how are you doing recently? Are you going to BJ to participate in the Olympics?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, Zhang Yuan only knew that he was selected for the Brazilian Olympic team.

"It's not good at all recently! I lost the election!" Digan wasn't disappointed by losing the election at all. On the contrary, he was a little excited. From now on, he will plan his life.

"Oh, what a pity! It doesn't matter, we are brothers and sisters, and I was not selected for the Olympic team! Haha!" Zhang Yuan also comforted his friend. The final list of the Olympic team has been determined here. Zhang Yuan Missed, this incident caused an uproar among Chinese fans, but the arms could not twist the thighs, and the fans could not change the decision of the Football Association.

"Hehe, I called you today to tell you something! I'm leaving AC Milan!"

"Leave?! Well, this idea is really good! You should have left a long time ago, and you won't get much chance there!" Zhang Yuan was supportive.

"But I haven't found a home yet. I want to ask you, how is the situation in the Bundesliga? What do you think of my trial training?" Digan expressed his plan with some hesitation.

"Bundesliga? It's pretty good here. I think they are still willing to give young people a chance. Well, how about this? I'll ask Schalke 04. I think this can give you a chance to try out!" As soon as Digan spoke, Zhang Yuan knew Digan's hidden meaning, so he offered to recommend to Schalke 04 to avoid embarrassment for Digan.

"Is it true? Thank you so much!" Digan expressed gratitude in his tone. In fact, he is really difficult now. He is unwilling to return to Brazil. No team in Serie A is willing to take over. In AC Milan It is difficult for someone who can't win the game to interest others.

Of course, the purpose of finding Zhang Yuan is to hope that Zhang Yuan can introduce him. When this kid hits the road, Digan feels his eyes are moist.

"Haha, you are my big brother, don't thank me or anything!" Zhang Yuan laughed and continued to ease Digan's embarrassment.

"Well, you can ask me first!" Degan couldn't wait to relieve the embarrassment.

Putting down the phone, Zhang Yuan really directly dialed the number of Schalke 04 manager Muller.

"Hi, hello! Mr. Muller!"

"Hello! Zhang Yuan, what can I do for you?" Mu Le was very surprised why Zhang Yuan would call himself at night. Although he usually wanted to get close to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan left many things to him. Damn agent Mino Raiola, Muller usually has limited contact with Zhang Yuan.

"That's right, I recommend a player to you, the position is the central defender, the Brazilian, I think the club can give him a trial training opportunity? I was a teammate with him when I was in Rimini. He is very defensive. Strong, he is only 22 years old now, and he still has a lot of room for growth! Can the club give him a chance?" Zhang Yuan said straight to the point.

Muller fell into thinking. On the one hand, Zhang Yuan has already conquered the hearts of Schalke 04 fans and the club. He is a very important player of the club. He came to Schalke 04 at the age of **** , Many fans consider him the future of Schalke 04, he took the initiative to recommend players to the club, this is an opportunity for him to make friends with Zhang Yuan.On the other hand, judging from the internal needs of Schalke 04, Kristajic and Bolton are not young, they are already in their 30s, and choosing a central defender is also an inevitable choice, but Schalke 04 is not in a hurry yet. Action only.

In addition, according to the high-level thinking, Bolton should leave, not only him but also Kuranyi, as well as Asamoah, the growth of Neuer, Zhang Yuan, Rafinha, and Rakitic marks a new era. With the opening of the new era, the old man must give way and hand over the leadership of the team to these young people. This is the inevitable replacement of the team.

There are also struggles at the top. It is definitely beneficial to my right to speak in the club by forming a good relationship with the leaders of the club for the next ten years.

Zhang Yuan on the other end of the phone was a little apprehensive. He didn't want Muller to reject him. It wasn't because of face, but because he felt that if Schalke 04 was unwilling to give Digan a chance, then other clubs would also have a very high possibility of not accepting him. Give Digan a chance.

"Zhang Yuan, what's your friend's name?" Mu Le asked.

"Digan, oh, my full name is Rodrigue Izesen Santos Wright! I'm only 22 years old this year, and I have a lot of room for growth!" Zhang Yuan quickly replied.

"Oh, okay! I think the club will be willing to give him a trial training opportunity. When can he come?" Muller's consideration was to give this Digan a chance. Anyway, it was just a trial training, selling Zhang Yuan There is no loss of face, if it doesn't work, just don't sign it!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Muller! I don't think you will regret today's decision! If possible, he can come the day after tomorrow!" Zhang Yuan said solemnly. Gan together, but with Degan's performance in Rimini, he is very confident.

After contacting Muller, Zhang Yuan couldn't wait to call Digan and informed him that he could come to Schalke 04 for a trial training the day after tomorrow. Digan was so happy that he wanted to hug Zhang Yuan and his relatives.

The next day, Muller told coach Rutten that the club had invited a player to try out, and he was training with the first team during this period. Rutten had no objection to this. Generally speaking, he had nothing to do with the club's transfer. The big right to speak, the club said that the trial training should be trial training, and it is enough for the coaching staff and the coaching staff to make a trial training report.

Zhang Yuan did not ask Mai Xuewen to follow him to the training base, but asked him to pick up Degan. Fortunately, Degan returned to Milan with his father immediately after losing to the Olympic team for his own future and destiny. Running for my own future, waiting in Milan, so coming to Germany is not far away.

After training in the afternoon, Zhang Yuan rushed to the hotel where Digan and his father were staying. Mai Xuewen accompanied them here and introduced them to the Schalke 04 club.

After Zhang Yuan saw Digan, Lao Yuan stretched out his hands, and the two of them had a bear hug. It is true that they have not seen each other for a long time. The last time they met was when Zhang Yuan was in Inter Milan. Everyone was in Milan. We met once, and then we went to Schalke 04 and never saw each other again, which can be called reunion after a long absence.
