Chapter 292 Zhang Yuan's Performance

The next day Rakitic really went to find Magath. After the training, Zhang Yuan tugged at Rakitic's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Ivan!"

"He told me not to worry, as long as you train hard, you will definitely have a chance!" Rakitic said of Magath's promise.

"Do you believe it?" Zhang Yuan said while changing his shoes.

"What can I do if I don't believe it?! Just wait and see!" Rakitic said freely.

"What are you talking about?" Neuer came in at this time.

"What didn't we talk about?!" Rakitic said first, he didn't want too many people to know about it.

"Hey, guys! Are you interested in going out for a drink at night?!" Neuer didn't care, but suggested going out for a drink.

"Aren't you exhausted yet? Go out for a drink?!" Zhang Yuan scolded. In order to train Neuer's reaction ability, Magath often trains Neuer with a medicine ball, which is tiring to catch. up.

"Haha! Look!" Neuer showed his arm proudly!

"I want to study at night!" Zhang Yuan said.

"It's nothing to relax for one night, don't make yourself too tired, buddy!" Neuer said.

"Okay then! Go out and have a drink! Ivan, how about you?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Of course!" Rakitic shrugged.

The three were adding Digan, and the four got into Neuer's car and headed for Gelsenkirchen.

Dinner Turkish barbecue, Turkish barbecue is called Döner in Germany. The word itself has the meaning of rotation. There are more Turkish immigrants in Gelsenkirchen, so the barbecue here is naturally very authentic.

After dinner, the four of them went to the nightclub bar to play. There were no beauties, and the four of them just played billiards there for a while.

On October 10th, Schalke 17 challenged Stuttgart in an away game. Stuttgart won the third place in the league last season and qualified for the Champions League play-offs. In the end, they defeated the Romanian team Timisoara with a total score of 04:2 and entered race.

This season they are fighting on the third front, and the result is similar to the season after they won the league championship. So far they have started to go downhill again.

The Champions Cup only has 2 points, and the league has only 8 points, which is 04 points behind Schalke 8.

There is no way that the thickness of the bench is too bad. If you want to go farther, the result is that all three lines are dragged down. The last time the lesson was not profound, this time they repeated the same mistakes.

Before the game against Schalke 04, the team's head coach Babel said in an interview with reporters: "Our results are not very good at present, but I hope that when we play against Schalke 04 at home, we can win. Good performance, end Schalke 04's unbeaten away game!"

He mentioned Schalke 04's unbeaten record in away games. Yes, so far, Schalke 04 has played 4 away games, with 3 wins and 1 draw.

He didn't mention it, and Zhang Yuan didn't notice it himself. When he mentioned Zhang Yuan, he realized that it was true. We actually lost an away game, okay!Just let this record continue!
Today at Schalke 04, Rafinha finally returned to the familiar right back position, Zambrano was placed on the bench, Digan and Hewedes partnered as central defenders, and Westermann served as the center back. left back.

In the midfield, Mineiro came back to play as a midfielder, with Rakitic as the left midfielder, Moritz as the right midfielder, and Farfan as the midfielder.

The striker is still partnered by Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi. In the last three games, Kuranyi scored three goals. From the appearance, Zhang Yuan can clearly feel that his teammate's self-confidence has improved a lot. Will he still score in the game?Zhang Yuan's mind was full of messy thoughts.

Stuttgart also used the 442 diamond position. The old goalkeeper Lehmann guards the gate, the left back Manian, the center backs are Boulahrouz and Tashche, the right back Cherozzi, the midfielder Tresch, Left midfielder Khedira, right midfielder Kuzmanovic, midfielder Hleb, forwards Pogrebnyak and Kakao.

The formations of the two sides are exactly the same, the forwards are fast and fast, and the midfielder is diamond-shaped. Who is more clever? !
Magath sat on the coach's bench in his own suit, while Babel stood on the sidelines from the beginning, and it seemed that he wanted this victory very much.

At the start of the game, Stuttgart kicked off first, and they came up slowly and controlled the ball in the backcourt, easily denying the ball.

To say that Stuttgart's third place last season was not for nothing. The main lineup was full, and the returning Hleb insisted on controlling the midfield tightly. Schalke 04 had no chance to get the ball at all. Mineiro not only The old man has just returned from injury, and his interception ability in the backcourt has dropped sharply. Stuttgart, who is playing at home, has taken the initiative.

Of course, Schalke 04's defense is not covered, and it is still a bit difficult for the opponent to break into the penalty area.

That's why the two sides began to shake and failed to create any threat. In the 12th minute, Zhang Yuan received a pass from Farfan and began to perform at the front of the penalty area.

Boulah Luz did not dare to stretch his feet when facing him. It was not the first time he and Zhang Yuan had fought against each other. He knew that this man was very clever, and if he was not careful, he would pass by him. The best way was to fight Zhang Yuan immediately Going forward, Zhang Yuan was not given time to think at all. The second was to wait for Cielozi to come over to help defend, and a few people double-teamed and intercepted the ball.

Just now Zhang Yuan was running to catch the ball, but Boulah Luz didn't keep up. There is no longer the first option. Now he can only choose the second option. He will not take it easily, because he knows Zhang Yuan's ball control strong ability.

He also knows that Zhang Yuan confuses opponents a lot, but sometimes knowing it doesn't mean he can defend against it.

Zhang Yuan has a oxtail, and he wore Boulah Luz's gear. Boulah Luz was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to pull people. After all, he was in the penalty area. He wanted to get stuck, but Zhang Yuan was one stride faster than him. Bottom chase the ball.

Boulahrouz kept up, but Zhang Yuan couldn't cut in. The inside cut was designated to be on Boulahrouz's body. Zhang Yuan didn't smash the ball, but chose to pass the ball and sweep to the middle.

Kuranyi and Tashche fought for the ball at the same time, and Kuranyi got the ball quickly, but the old goalkeeper Lehman reacted quickly and blocked the ball.

This was Schalke 04's first shot, and it almost made a goal. Kuranyi gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up, indicating that the goal was beautiful, and Zhang Yuan responded with a smile. Lozzi was pressured by Westerman on the top and did not recycle excessively into the middle.

The game continued, and Stuttgart also made a few shots. After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan felt that he was really uncomfortable playing the second striker below the midfielder. Either he always squeezed Farfan's position, or Farfan Fan Lao regards himself as a second striker, and the retreat is not deep enough, waiting for the ball in front.

This way of playing can’t work, so Zhang Yuan simply moved himself to the side, where no one competed with him for position. More importantly, Zhang Yuan felt that his vision of holding the ball was wider on the side, and he felt that he was limited in the middle. bigger.

In the 24th minute, Rafinha made a big pass from the right. Zhang Yuan won the header fight with Tresch and gave the ball to Rakitic. Rakitic passed Kuranyi directly. After Lan Yi held the ball, facing Tashche's defense, he didn't rush in. Seeing Zhang Yuan get up and go forward, he quickly passed the ball to the middle.

Zhang Yuan rushed to the lower right corner of the penalty area before Boulahrouz. He wasted this opportunity. Lehman guessed his direction correctly and stretched out his hand to throw the ball to the right.

Zhang Yuan was so angry that he jumped his feet, the rare opportunity was lost just like that!

Just when he was holding his head in regret, the Schalke 04 players cheered, it turned out that the goal was scored!

How did you get in?Zhang Yuan’s head was full of question marks. It turned out that Lehman’s clearance was not complete. Zhang Yuan pushed the shot with great force, and Lehman just subconsciously reached out to block the ball. As a result, Farfan had already swam to the right and passed the ball. After regaining control, he passed back to Rakitic, and Rakitic shot. This time Lehmann finally failed to save the ball miraculously. Schalke 04 once again took the lead passively.

"Ivan, you did a great job!" Zhang Yuanfei flew over and jumped on Rakitic's shoulder.

The Schalke 04 players were elated, and seemed to be used to being passive. They also seemed to be used to scoring goals in this situation. In short, they seemed to be used to Magath's passive style of play.

Magath is definitely not such a passive way of playing in Wolfsburg, but compared with Schalke 04, Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 have different players. Schalke 04 has always hoarded hard stubble in the midfield, but Wolfsburg Wolfsburg is not. With the presence of Josue and others, Wolfsburg can often attack from the midfield. Schalke [-] does not have such players, and several midfielders are not creative. Rakitic is strong in organization and creativity, but he is not as strong as the mature Josue.
