Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 161 You Really Can

Degan introduced his father to Zhang Yuan, Bosco Iserson Belleira Wright. Zhang Yuan didn't know much about Degan's family. For example, Degan's family was a middle-class family in Brazil. Mr. Wright is an engineer, but since the two sons embarked on the road of professional players and Kaka transferred to AC Milan, he has become the agent of the two sons.

"Hello! Mr. Wright, nice to meet you! I'm Degan's good friend Zhang Yuan!" Zhang Yuan smiled and held out his hand to hold Degan's father.

"Hello, Zhang Yuan, thank you very much this time!" Mr. Wright said gratefully. He was telling the truth. There were only two players under his banner, one was Kaka and the other was Digan. He does not have a wide network of contacts in the European football circle. It is difficult for him to handle Degan's affairs this time, because he does not know many people, and Degan's current situation can only find clubs for trial training one by one.

Degan has long said that his choice is to go to the Bundesliga, but Mr. Wright started to do his homework in Serie A. Obviously, the effect is not good. No team is interested in Degan, and he is unwilling to give Degan a chance to try out. waste time.Degan played once a season in AC Milan, and spent most of his time in the reserve team. Such a person has obviously proved that he is not a capable player.

Mr. Wright's failure is not surprising. Degan found a trial training opportunity by himself. Mr. Wright is grateful to Zhang Yuan from the bottom of his heart. Degan chose not to grow up under the protection of Kaka. Since this is the case, he certainly hopes that his son To be able to succeed, with the first club willing to give Digan a trial training opportunity, this is a good start.

"Mr. Wright, you are too polite. This is due to Digan himself. I just introduced it from him. There is nothing to be grateful for." Zhang Yuan said humbly.

At the dinner table, Zhang Yuan introduced Schalke 04 and the Bundesliga club to Degan. To be honest, Mai Xuewen has never been a real fan. His understanding of football is limited to his work needs. His understanding of the Bundesliga is very superficial, but Zhang Far different, he obviously has to go deeper.

However, what he introduced to Digan today is not the Bundesliga, but how to pass the trial training of Schalke 04. He really hopes that Digan can stay.

"Degan, now our club has 9 defenders, including Bolton as a central defender, this is your fellow Brazilian, Kristajic, Westerman, these two can play both wide and central. Höwedes, this is cultivated by the club itself, he was in the first team last year, but there are not many opportunities to play!"

"Bolton and Kristajic are not young anymore. Kristajic is 35 years old this year, so I think you can show yourself well. The possibility of Schalke 04 signing you is still very high."

Zhang Yuan first introduced the situation in the team to Degan, especially the configuration of the central defender, because Digan is not a generalist now, even after signing the contract, he can only play as a central defender, and he is not familiar with other positions.

Zhang Yuan specifically mentioned Bolton and Kristajic in order to increase Degan's confidence.

Hearing Zhang Yuan say that Schalke 04 has 9 defenders, Degan was really upset. He felt that his hopes were slim and he would not be able to play for a long time. His brother Kaka's fame brought him great pressure. A little unconfident, but when he heard the second half of Zhang Yuan's sentence, he began to have a little confidence again.

"Next, I have to tell you what I know about you. In Rimini before, I know that your characteristics are good passing, strong team awareness, good positioning and marking. Naturally, your physical condition is not good. I have to say, but I think you turned around slowly at that time. I don't know how you are now?" Zhang Yuan asked, he didn't know the current Digan.

Digan can answer this question. He stayed in Milan for a season. Just like Zhang Yuan did in Inter Milan, he trains with the stars of the first team every day. The game of wits comes quickly.

"I think that in the past year, I have improved in terms of passing, team awareness, positioning, and man-marking. The slow turning has not changed." Degan replied, and these were also proposed by Kaka.

Degan turns slowly. There is no way. He is 1.9 meters tall and not fast. Generally speaking, fast players have better flexibility. Degan happens to have both. It is not so easy to turn slowly. What has changed is that he is not Ibrahimovic. He has practiced taekwondo and judo for a long time, and his body flexibility and coordination are very good.

For a central defender like Digan, the slow turning is not irreparable, that is to rely on excellent prediction, steal the block in advance, and block the opponent's attack, but if these two are also poor, it will be really fatal , especially in the Bundesliga.

Compared with Serie A, the Bundesliga has a more open style of play. The slow turn of the central defender is fatal, and they may often be turned offside by others.

"Then you have to be careful not to be hit back by others, this is fatal! I think you know it too! If you sign a contract in the future, I can recommend you to practice yoga, judo and other sports, which are good for you! During the trial training, you must show your highlights, otherwise it will be difficult to impress the club!" Zhang Yuan said.

Digan nodded to show that he understood, and Zhang Yuan revealed to Digan some details of the usual Schalke 04 training one after another. He hoped that Digan would start from the details and impress the coaching staff.

After dinner, when parting, Zhang Yuan hugged Digan and said to Digan, "Dude, you know that when I first arrived in Italy, I experienced many failures, right?"

Digan nodded, this is one of the things he admires about Zhang Yuan, he is always not afraid of setbacks.

"Actually, I wanted to give up at that time. I felt that I might not be the material to play football, but in the end my dream convinced me. I said to myself ten times in the mirror every night, "You can, you really can." It’s okay...”, as a result, I survived those uncomfortable days, and now I think you can really do it, and I hope you can really do it yourself!” Zhang Yuan seemed to be giving a speech, inciting Digan’s emotions .

Before going to bed at night, Digan faced the mirror in the bathroom and said loudly: "You can, you can..."

According to the trial training arrangement, it was supposed to be Schalke 04 who came out to receive Digan, but Zhang Yuan took the initiative to call Muller to do it for him. However, tomorrow's trial training will definitely require club staff to bring Digan to the training field.

So the next morning, Zhang Yuan arrived at the training base by himself. When the training gathered, Mulder brought Digan to everyone and introduced, "This is Rodrigo Isesen Santos Wright , he will not train with me for the next week!"

"Hello, everyone. My name is Rodrigo Isesen Santos Wright. Everyone can call me Digan!" Digan introduced himself in the German he had just learned.

Digan's trial training was very sudden. Except for Zhang Yuan, none of the players in the team knew about it, nor did Bolton and Roberto Ozawa, who are fellow countrymen. Of course, Bolton and Roberto Ozawa knew about this young player. It's Kaka's younger brother, isn't this guy in AC Milan?How do you come here for a trial training?

Since he was from his hometown, Bolton took the lead in applauding, and the others also applauded to welcome Digan to join the team.

Digan couldn't speak German, so Mai Xuewen naturally worked as a part-time translator for Digan, translating German into Italian for Digan to listen to.

Every summer, the focus of each team's training is physical reserves, and the training focus of Schalke 04 is no exception, but Rutten puts more emphasis on tactical training, because he intends to adjust Schalke 04's tactical play in the new season.

In the past, Schalke 04 played a 433 formation during Slomka's time. After Slomka got out of class, Buskens and Mulder did not change Slomka's tactical play, and still used a 433 formation.

But after Rutten took office, he was originally a local coach in the Netherlands. Influenced by the Dutch tactical guru Michels, he focused on offense in Schalke 04, so he planned to change the formation to 442 in the new season. To be precise, it should be 424. The two full-backs are quite forward, basically equivalent to two wingers.

His ideal state is that this formation is very flexible. Zhang Yuan, who played on the wing last season, will be moved by him to the central striker this season. Zhang Yuan can retreat to use the current midfielder, freeing the midfielder, allowing the midfielder to participate in defense more, and the two wingers also retreat in time.
