Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 272 Debut
The warm-up opponent of the national team this time is the German team. To be honest, Zhang Yuan is very familiar with the personnel of this team. Almost all the players recruited by Loew are German players who play in the Bundesliga. Only Hinkle and Huth are from foreign leagues. But the two of them are actually marginal roles in the national team.

Zhang Yuan's club teammates Neuer and Westermann are also marginal roles. Westerman has been tepid in the national team as a useful substitute role, and Neuer is on the call Obviously not as tall as Adler.

Leverkusen goalkeeper Adler is now more famous than Neuer, but this time he was not called up by Loew because he was going to participate in the German Cup final. Neuer is just a substitute now.

Loew only brought two goalkeepers with him this time, and the other one is Enke. Zhang Yuan has a very good feeling for Enke. Every time the match with Hannover is over, the two of them will say a few words, and they still have a good relationship with each other. phone number.

The German team arrived in Shanghai on the same day as Zhang Yuan, but they are obviously very busy. Of course, the German Football Association came here not only for a friendly match, but also for the purpose of promoting the Bundesliga. They will hold a reception on the evening of the 28th .

What is interesting is that the Euro 08 Golden Boy, a member of the Chinese national team, was invited by the German Football Association to attend the reception.

Zhang Yuan must have euphemistically refused, joking that although he is a Bundesliga player, he said that he has some obligations to promote the Bundesliga, but how can I go to this kind of appointment as a member of the Chinese national team now.

The German Football Association didn't care too much. Anyway, they wanted to drag Zhang Yuan, a banner with huge appeal in China, and it didn't really matter whether he came or not.

Before the game even started, the German team began to say good things about the Chinese team, but it didn’t sound so good to the ears of some people in the team. The reason was that many people in the German team only mentioned one name when they were interviewed—— — Zhang Yuan.

"Zhang Yuan is a great guy. I have watched his game live more than once! He left a deep impression on me! I believe there are many players in China like Zhang Yuan, so I think this game We can't relax!" Head coach Loew said when facing reporters.

"Zhang Yuan is my good friend! But this time it's up to each other, I hope I can win him! If he is not happy, I can buy him a drink after the game!" Neuer said.

"Zhang Yuan is that kind of genius. His growth in the Bundesliga is obvious to all. There we have played against him many times. He is very difficult to deal with. The Chinese team with him must let us focus!" Ram said. Said, he is the captain of this German national team, because Ballack is not there.

"Zhang Yuan, he once broke through the gate of my handle, I hope this time he won't let him do it!" Enke, the goalkeeper of Hannover 96, is afraid of Zhang Yuan's power.

Everyone's words seem to reveal a message, the Chinese team with Zhang Yuan is very difficult to deal with, everyone should be careful!
But in fact, this is just a gesture. The Chinese media and fans like to listen to good things, and the Germans are not stupid to do what they like. Without teammates around him, Loew doesn't feel that Zhang Yuan is so difficult to deal with.

For them, this friendly match was just going through the motions, and every player was praying in his heart that he would not be injured.

On the contrary, the Chinese team attached great importance to this game. After the training on the 28th, the leaders of the Football Association came in the evening and began to mobilize everyone before the battle. This is Chinese characteristics.

The leader talked about it above, but most of the players below were drowsy. The time was too long, and 10 minutes of mobilization would be enough. If you say half an hour or an hour, no one would want to hear it.

Every now and then, you want to show your style and level on the court, really show your true level, and the leaders will say that you don’t fight hard on the court. They don’t know that football can only be won by hard work, but they have to face up to the gap in strength .

If you don't have the strength to fight one game, or two, you can still fight the third game and the fourth game? !Football is certainly a sport that requires willpower, but strength is one of the keys to determine the result.

The leaders of foreign and domestic football associations watch football are two different concepts. The Chinese media write that leaders of foreign football associations, even national leaders, call it "watching the game on the spot", but China is different. The media writes that it is "supervising the game on the spot".

The difference between one word and the meaning is understood by yourself, so the team members with leadership are actually facing a lot of pressure, they have to fight, and they can't do it.

After the leadership mobilization was over, Zhang Yuan didn't know what the leader specifically said was useful. Before he came to the national team, Shao Jia called him specifically. In the national team, he should talk less and do more, just obey the command. Don't be a fool. prickly head.

Zhang Yuan doesn't know how to be a thorn in the head, his mind is full of thinking about playing to win glory for the country.

However, that night, Coach Gao finally talked to Zhang Yuan alone, concerned about Zhang Yuan's development in Germany, and finally said: "You won't start tomorrow's game, and you will be a substitute. Let's see how everyone plays first!"

Zhang Yuan was very depressed. He didn't think the rest of the team was better than himself, so he wanted to start. Coach Gao's explanation was reasonable, and he could only accept it with a smile. At the end, he didn't forget to say, "Resolutely obey the leadership." arrange!"

Zhang Yuan didn't mean to satirize Coach Gao, but Coach Gao sounded awkward. He really thought that Zhang Yuan's strength didn't need to be verified. In the future, Zhang Yuan would definitely be a frequent visitor to the national team. These two friendly matches It's just that in his selection of players, he hopes to let more rookies play, not only Zhang Yuan, but tomorrow's captain Zheng Zhi and several other former main players will not play.

Some things cannot be said clearly, Coach Gao can only endure silently.

On the morning of the 29th, the national team completed the last training session before the game. Coach Gao announced the starting lineup, which consisted of many newcomers, except for Zhang Yuan. These players are very strange. There is no use for this big name to return? !
In the evening, the Shanghai Stadium was packed. The most important factor was Zhang Yuan. Many fans were eagerly watching Zhang Yuan's debut for the national team. When the players from both sides came out, they found that Zhang Yuan was not there. He was sitting on the ground as a substitute. at the table.

The two teammates of Zhang Yuan in the German team did not start either, but also sat on the bench. Neuer crossed his legs and talked and laughed with Tresch next to him.

Under the on-site supervision of the leader and the shouts of the fans, the start of the game reached its climax. In the 5th minute of the game, the Chinese team made a fantastic start with a wonderful cooperation. , Zhao Xu headed the ball from the front field to the right side of the penalty area, Hao Jun faced Huth forcibly broke through and then faced Enke with a goal kick from a small angle. China led Germany 1-0.

Then in the 7th minute, the German team equalized the score. Schweinsteiger passed the ball into the penalty area before the top of the penalty area. The Chinese defender failed to make an offside. -1 back to the same starting line.

Since then, the two sides have played relatively openly. The players on the Chinese team really worked hard, and the midfielders on the German team were forced to be very embarrassed for a while.

Later, I finally woke up. The two sides attacked back and forth, and neither of them could break through the opponent's gate. It was still 1:1 at the end of the half.

Zhang Yuan still did not play in the second half, Coach Gao made two substitutions, and Loew made no adjustments to the team.

In the second half, the Chinese team fought more and more fiercely, but the German team finally restrained. It was really not worthwhile to hurt themselves for a friendly match, so the scene occupied the upper part. The team hits the goal and that's it.

Try to pass the ball as quickly as possible while holding the ball to avoid being sieged by Chinese players. At 80 minutes into the game, Coach Gao finally replaced Zhang Yuan. The long-awaited beginning to come out!

There is not much time left for Zhang Yuan, and Coach Gao just let Zhang Yuan go on the court to experience it.

Just 1 minute into the game, Zhang Yuan completed a shot. He dribbled the ball continuously, past Hitzlsperger and Huth, and pushed the ball. Enke pinned the ball to the ground.

The fans at the scene cheered when they saw Zhang Yuan taking the ball, but the time was too short, Zhang Yuan's only shot came on the field, and then the game was over.

Zhang Yuan's first appearance is over, this is really a friendly match, no one was injured on both sides, the score is also 1:1, everyone is happy!
After the game, players from both sides began to shake hands and exchange jerseys. Westermann and Neuer also came to the field to shake hands with the players of the Chinese team. When they found Zhang Yuan, Neuer gave him a big hug.

"Haha, we meet again! Do you have time to show me around tonight?"

"No time! I really don't have time tonight! I invited you to China for vacation. If you don't come, I told you at the beginning that I must be free for the competition!" Zhang Yuan replied.

"It's just that we don't have time, we have a beautiful tour guide! I really can't handle it when you come! Maybe she will fall in love with you!" Neuer laughed.

Zhang Yuan punched him hard, am I that perverted? !I am very disciplined!
