Chapter 300 The Importance of Ivan

Although he only played for less than 10 minutes, Draxler still became the focus of discussion in the German media after the game. At the age of 16 years and 181 days, he became the youngest player in the history of the Schalke 04 club. By.

Although there were only a few sporadic opportunities to perform, Draxler's performance on the court was unanimously recognized by the media, especially his general style...in fact, it was expressionless...

Although the media put countless genius titles on Draxler's head, this young man is still serious and hardworking on the training ground.

Sun Wu glanced at the little guy who ran over to grab the ball, turned around and sent the ball to the back line, even in a training game, he was so serious.

Sun Wu remembered that Draxler later transferred to Wolfsburg and Paris. The performance overshadowed the opposite Galactic Fleet.

The main team launched a counterattack. Sun Wu did not go forward directly, but stopped the ball under his feet, and after attracting several substitute players, he crossed to Rakitic.

The unguarded Rakitic quickly passed the midfield, the left back Fuchs had already plugged in, Kuranyi was sprinting towards the goal, but Rakitic suddenly sent a pick pass.

Sun Wu, who entered the penalty area at high speed, easily stopped the ball, and quickly swung his calf before Bordong fell to the ground, and the ball sneaked into the near corner.

Although it was a goal on the training ground, Sun Wu still ran over and gave Rakitic a high-five to celebrate.

Magath on the sidelines was rubbing his chin and thinking. Compared with Wolfsburg, it seems that Best now enters the penalty area more and more frequently...

Although it is in the middle of the season, Magath's training intensity is still not low. Generally, he trains twice a day. Therefore, after regular training, most players will go to the massage room to relax, take a shower and leave. They are willing to stay. There are not many players coming down for additional training, but Sun Wu will always appear on the training ground.

Magath, who was talking to Hollerbach, looked up and saw a few little guys beside Sun Wu, and immediately walked over and shouted: "Go to the massage room, then take a shower and go home, Julian, Lewis, you are not qualified to join practice."

Draxler was ignorant, while Holtby glanced at Sun Wu from the corner of his eye.

"He is a freak, don't compare with him, especially Julian, you are several years younger than Best, it is not a good thing to train too much during this period." Gunter Pfeiler also came over and said, "Absent from training Need Felix's approval, but want to practice more must get my approval."

The medical team led by Günter Pfeiler has adopted the latest medical monitoring methods for all first-team players, analyzed data on their physical conditions, and provided them to Magath after sorting out... If it weren’t for this, it would have been better for Magath Due to the special training intensity, the team has been suffering from injuries for a long time.

"Why can Best practice more?" Holtby was still not convinced, "He is only one year older than me..."

"But his physical data is much stronger than yours." Günther Pfeiler immediately interrupted and drove the little guys to the massage room.

Magath glanced at Sun Wu who was still doing dribbling training, "Best, why does your physical data basically not change after a game or a training? If you don't do blood tests, you can hardly find any changes." ?”

Sun Wu stopped after finishing a set of training, thought for a while and continued to do the next set without saying a word, I can't tell you, I used the recovery card, and now I'm still using the medical card...

"Come down to my office." Magath confessed before leaving.

……

After the pole circling training, Sun Wu did two more sets of shooting training before stopping, wiped his sweat and took a shower before walking slowly into Magath's office.

As soon as Sun Wu entered the door, he saw Magath standing in front of the tactical board, constantly moving the No. 38 chess piece up and down.

"Here, come and see." Magath beckoned, "Actually, I wanted to say it before. Last year in Wolfsburg, I played a double striker, but now I play a single striker, and you have a wide range of activities. mean……"

"It means that when the ball appears near the penalty area, I may not be able to press in time to form an equal number of people." Sun Wu nodded, "I have considered this issue before, so I am doing training in this area recently."

Sun Wu is a midfielder with a wide range of activities, but this range refers more to horizontal pulling rather than vertical running back and forth.

Sun Wu often appears suddenly on the wing to form a local advantage in numbers, passing the ball to penetrate the opponent's defense line, or using breakthroughs and small-scale cooperation to find gaps in the opponent's defense line, but the number of times he appears in front of the big penalty area is not many... Although it brings threats every time.

"I didn't fix you in the front midfielder position, I gave you a high degree of tactical freedom..." Magath pushed the No. 38 piece from the middle circle all the way to the penalty area, "but in the case of a single striker, especially It's Kevin... like the two goals against Hoffenheim, you need to get in the box more often."

Magath paused, then turned around and asked, "Is there a physical problem?"

"It's not a big problem, I will adjust myself, and I don't need to enter the penalty area frequently in every game, I will have a choice." Sun Wu shook his head, "But if I want to get in from the back row, I want to try not to attract attention ... There is a premise that I can't have the ball under my feet."

"Of course..." Magath nodded hesitantly. Everyone knows this truth. Sun Wu must run without the ball if he runs in the back row. …

Magath's hesitation is because he knows the hidden meaning of Sun Wu's words. If Sun Wu needs to enter the penalty area more frequently, then the midfielder must have an excellent midfielder to take over Sun Wu's task, although it may be a game There may not be many opportunities to become the protagonist...

"Ivan?"

"It's hard to imagine that you have spent..." Sun Wu pretended to raise his wrist to look at his watch, "It took a full 18 seconds to determine the candidate. Is there any other choice besides Ivan Rakitic?"

Magath nodded, "Ivan is indeed the most suitable...so recently on the training ground, you and Ivan have passed and received a lot of balls."

"Whether it is a short pass or a long pass, Ivan is very good. He has a wide vision and a strong ability to handle the ball. The most important thing is that he has a very clear mind. In fact, in another team, he is capable of playing the core of the playmaker."

Hearing Sun Wu's evaluation of Rakitic, Magath was a little surprised, "Are you very optimistic about him?"

"Of course, the midfielder that all teams hope to get may not be able to become a superstar, but his all-around player can not only play the core of the organization, but also become the lubricant of the team." Sun Wu thought for a while and continued: "I After checking the game data of Schalke 04 in the last three seasons, among all the players, Ivan's appearance has the largest impact on the result of the game, surpassing Kuranyi and Farfan."

In fact, in this Schalke 04 team, Rakitic should be the one with the highest achievement in the future. He filled the vacancy left by Barcelona's Harvey and made Barcelona stand on top of the world again.
