Go back to the past and be the king

Chapter 56 Left Back or Forward
Although 1860 Munich is still No.2 in the standings, it is only two points away from No.1 Kaiserslautern.However, Freiburg and Duisburg are only one point away at 1860, and they can overtake on corners at any time.There are also Mainz and Rostock in the background, waiting for 1860 to make a mistake.

By the time the sixth round of the Munich 1860 league started, Lu Chen's injury was almost healed, at least he was able to play in the field.

The doctor and the team doctor were all stunned when they checked Lu Chen. Is the recovery speed of this kind of injury still in the human category?Usually it takes two weeks for a normal person to recover from a complete injury, but he almost healed in four days.

Although the team doctor checked that Lu Chen was ready to play, Kurtz still chose to be on the safe side, even if Lu Chen was not on the roster.

Lu Chen had no choice but to follow Pan Wenshan and the others to watch the match from the stands, but the result was too disappointing.

1860 suffered a two-round winless league game, and they were tied 1-1 by Ingolstad at home with a score of 1:[-].

The scene of this game is really hot, from the first minute of the game.The two teams are like mortal enemies meeting each other, both in terms of action and other aspects are very brutal.

Throughout the game, there were no fewer than five conflicts between the two sides.

In a total of more than 90 minutes in the first and second half, the two sides applied for a total of seven yellow cards to the referee.

And more importantly, the team's main left back Schwartz received a red card because of a conflict with an opposing player in the last minute of the game, and had to be automatically suspended for one game.

But reporters don't care about these issues, they only care about the result, as for the process, it's an auxiliary explanation of the result.If the result is not good, no matter how dominant your scene is, no matter how gorgeous your kicks are, it will be useless.

So this game also provided material for those reporters who had no confidence in winning the championship in 1860 to attack the team.

After two rounds of defeat in the league, they fell to No.4 in the standings, and the gap with No.1 is getting bigger and bigger.And at the end of the game, he still fought against his opponent. It was really a loss and a loss.

That's why the "Bild" reporter Macdonald mocked Munich 1860 and Lu Chen in his article, mocking them for not knowing the heights of the sky and the earth, and wanting to win the league championship with just a little bit of outstanding performance, and completely refusing to let other teams go. in the eyes.

In fact, let alone Macdonald, they were fans of the team. Even Lu Chen, who was sitting in the stands, was completely disappointed with the team's performance.

Originally, 1860 was the first goal, so you can completely control the rhythm and drag the opponent into your own rhythm to play.However, Ingolstad controlled the rhythm on the field, and the scene became more and more uncontrollable. In the end, the players in 1860 could no longer think calmly.

This was scored by Ingolstad in the 82nd minute.

This is also the first time 1860 has lost at home this season, so apart from Ingolstad being satisfied with 1860's performance in this game, everyone else is very dissatisfied.

Lu Chen felt that the current situation of the team was not optimistic. He returned to the training base the next day and chose to return to the team for training.

Kurtz was worried about his body, so he just let him do recovery training first, and didn't let him practice with the team.

Lu Chen was training alone, as if he had returned to the time when he first joined the team. At that time, he was alone and lonely, and he could only train by himself until dark every day.

Today's self is very similar to the situation at that time. When he was very tired from training, watching his teammates pass the ball to each other and doing tactical training, he would feel like there was a generation gap between himself and them.

This generation gap is not a difference in language and culture, but a difference in the persistence of dreams.Football seems to have become an obsession in Lu Chen's heart, and he will hate anything that tries to drag him back.

Now the team doesn't have much confidence in the goal of competing for the championship, it's just echoing Kurtz and shouting.

You know, the championship is not just a victory in one or two games.This is to maintain a leading position throughout the season in order to finally win the championship.

One of the reasons why the team has no confidence in the championship is that the team's main lineup and substitute lineup are too different.You can't rely on one lineup to play the whole season.

There will always be unexpected things happening in the middle of a long season. For example, in this game, Schwartz was suspended, and the team's left back who replaced him was not strong enough.This is something that continues to be resolved.

It suddenly occurred to Kurtz that Lu Chen could play as a full-back.Kurtz wanted Lu Chen to replace Schwartz as the left back, but he couldn't bear Lu Chen's offensive ability.

For a while, he was very troubled by this matter. If he had known this, he would have bought a few more all-round players, at least they would be useful at this time.

In fact, Lu Chen doesn't mind what position he plays. When he was in the Tottenham Hotspur youth team, he played as midfielder, central defender, midfielder, full-back, full-back, winger and even center forward. For Lu Chen Said that as long as he can be given a position, he can play and perform well.

So when Kurtz asked him to talk, he agreed without even thinking about it.

On the contrary, Kurtz was surprised. Players like Lu Chen who are not picky about their positions and completely obey the coach's arrangements are really rare.

So he comforted Lu Chen and said, "Don't worry, Lu. You are just a cameo on the left back. After Benjamin's suspension is over, I will switch you back to the right. After all, I still need your ability to help the team." .”

But Lu Chen replied indifferently: "Sir, in fact, it's okay for me to play full-back all the time. I can play any position."

Kurtz regained his energy in an instant, and he asked half-jokingly, "Really? You can play any position? So which position do you want to play the most?"

"Forward!" Lu Chen said without thinking.

"Why?" Lu Chen's answer was reasonable, but it was unexpected by Kurtz.The team does not lack forwards, and Lu Chen's style is not suitable for the current 1860. This answer will only add to Kurtz's troubles.

Lu Chen's answer was also very honest, even a little too much: "Because the striker can score more goals! He can get the most attention!"

Kurtz was stunned, although the reasoning was the same.But I haven't heard such a straightforward answer for a long time. I remember the last time I heard it was when I went to the youth training camp.

Kurtz smiled and said to Lu Chen: "It's a very frank answer, I will think about it carefully."

Lu Chen didn't take this matter to heart, he just regarded this conversation as if two people were having an ordinary conversation, and didn't think deeply about it at all.

But Kurtz thought about it carefully, Lu Chen really might be put on the front line.

For the right midfielder, I have many options, Geberhardt, Johansen, and even Lars Bender.Or choose to change the formation, 4-1-3-2 is also the formation I am experimenting with. Although the winning rate of this formation is not high, there is no reason why there is no strong forward.

If you play Lu Chen as a striker, arrange for him to be a shadow striker.Let Routh or Kukukovic partner with him to help him attract firepower or serve as a bridgehead for him,

With Lu Chen's top speed and excellent awareness, plus Lu Chen also has a good sense of smell in front of the goal, why is this not a standard equipment for a striker.

Even if there is a problem with Lu Chen's finishing touch, this kind of thing can be practiced.If it doesn't work, I shoot two more shots during the game. The more I get caught, the more confident I will be, and my shooting skills will naturally improve.

Lu Chen didn't expect that just a simple conversation between him and Kurtz would get him the forward position he had always dreamed of. It was like a dream.

But Kurtz didn't intend to have a frank and honest talk with Lu Chen about this right now, and the test would have to wait until the end of the match.

Because the next game is against Frankfurt, which is not very strong, but the shadow of the two rounds of victory still exists in the hearts of the whole team. This game must strive for victory, and it is not the time to test the formation.
