Chapter 326 Forward Candidates

On March 3, Schalke 21 went to Hamburg. Countless people were staring at this game. This was the only game Best missed in the second half of the season. The day before, Bayern Munich easily defeated Frankfurt 04-2. The advantage of points has reached the top of the standings.

But to the disappointment of many spectators, Kuranyi opened his scoring account again. He scored twice in the first and second half with a header kick. Westermann made a corner kick. Il didn't even get a chance to try his hand at it.

Hao Junmin played as a left winger in this game, but basically did not perform well. Draxler, who replaced him in the second half, performed very mediocrely, but Holtby, who played the 10th position, sent a few wonderful crosses to the left. Kuranyi scored a goal.

Sitting in front of the TV, Sun Wu stroked his chin and pondered, the traditional winger's style of play really stimulated Kuranyi very much.

After Messi and Ronaldo appeared, the status of forward wingers has been greatly reduced. Most of the top wingers recognized in European football are reverse-footed, such as the best wingers Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben in the Bundesliga. , although Farfan is really outstanding, he has to be inferior to these two.

But Sun Wu knew in his heart that the trend of football is always tortuous and curved, and the smooth-footed winger also has the incomparable advantage of the reverse-footed winger... But the traditional center forward like Kuranyi is really going to be eliminated, just like Ge Max, transferred to Bayern for 3500 million euros, and once got a small steel gun, but Bayern officially rose after he left.

But there is no way, Kuranyi is the only center forward in the Schalke 04 team. It is impossible to let Asamoah who is about to retire or the lazy Sanchez start.

In the following week, Sun Wu focused on observing Kuranyi's running lines during training, and studied Kuranyi's shooting highlights at night...

But the more you study Sun Wu, the more frustrated you become. It’s unimaginable. This Brazilian-born center forward’s skills are very rough, not even comparable to Bordon, and his shooting ability is not outstanding, and his ability to grasp opportunities at critical moments is also very average...

This is a traditional center forward who needs a lot of crosses from the midfield and the wing to convert them into goals, and the range of activities is not large, there is no work under his feet, and the cooperation with his teammates is not smooth and tacit. The scoring rate against the middle and lower teams is not low, and he is very professional...but hard work does not mean success.

"Dong dong dong."

"Enter!"

Sun Wu pushed open the door, smiled and handed over a small tea tube, "Felix, drinking coffee too often is bad for your health, you can try Chinese tea!"

"Like British black tea?" Magath opened it unceremoniously, looked up, and asked suspiciously, "Best, this..."

"Soak it directly, just like soaking lemons." Sun Wu glanced at the tactical board hanging on the wall.

"You will still be a substitute in the next game." Magath got up and walked over.

"I know." Sun Wu flattened his mouth. Although the suspension is over, he still has four yellow cards on his body. Neither he nor Magath wants to miss the next round against Bayern Munich. Leverkusen, Sun Wu can only sit on the bench and see how his teammates are doing.

"Listen to how people laugh at you!"

Sun Wu is a little speechless. A German newspaper has ridiculed him these days, mocked him for trying to cheat a yellow card from the referee but received a red card, mocked him for being knocked down by Lehmann without any suspense... What the fuck What an honor!

Goalkeeper's acting skills... Sun Wu only knows about Dida from AC Milan, who received a red card for his speechless acting skills. He didn't expect that there are old actors like Lehman among the goalkeepers. Sun Wu hates it these days Gotta gnash my teeth.

Sun Wu looked at the tactical board and pondered for a moment, then clicked on the No. 7 pawn, "Kevin's second goal in the last game was a cross from the left."

"Don't you admire Draxler very much?" Magath said with a smile: "He was intercepted seven times in 45 minutes of the game, which is the highest record in the team this season."

"The key is Kevin." Sun Wu shrugged, "If Mandzukic was bought during the winter break, Draxler is more suitable than Holtby, but now..."

Magath nodded in agreement. In the last game, neither Draxler nor Hao Junmin successfully cut inside to find opportunities. The former lacked experience and the latter lacked ability.

The most important thing is Kevin Kuranyi. This is a traditional center forward who needs a lot of crosses from the side. This determines that Holtby is more suitable to appear as a left winger. A winger has an advantage over a winger with an inverted foot, whether it is safety, arc, or the initiative of kick timing...

"But in the middle..." Magath shook his head. "Currently only Holtby can play the 10th position. If I don't buy you during the winter break, I can only choose to make him the core of the playmaker."

"Have the ability to break through, cooperate in a small area, and have good long-range shots, but become the core of the playmaker..." Sun Wu also shook his head, "Leverkusen's offensive power this season is quite good, Heynckes' training ability ..."

Magath was stunned for a while, then turned around and asked, "Double defensive midfielder?"

"Ivan pushes forward." Sun Wu said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm sitting on the bench."

"That's right." Magath thought for a while, took the chess piece and kept flicking it back and forth on the tactical board, and asked casually: "Best, Kevin has already talked to me, and he won't renew his contract. He will leave the team at the end of this season... ... Mandzukic may not be able to buy, do you have any other suggestions?"

Without waiting for Sun Wu to speak, Magath added: "Needless to say about the Polish last time, Robert Lewandowski, a very good boy, but an agreement was reached with Dortmund in February."

Damn Klopp, Sun Wu smacked his lips, he knew that he should have said this as soon as he transferred, why didn't he think of it at the time!
"Actually, it's useless for you to tell me earlier. The Hornets have been following him for more than a year." Magath persuaded, "Actually, he may not be able to adapt to the Bundesliga, and his shooting skills are really bad."

This is true. Lewandowski, who just arrived in Dortmund, has been criticized for his shooting and is called the "king of waves".

Sun Wu racked his brains to think of a striker who is not yet famous or the price is not too high, but will come in handy next season... It is a pity that his standard is a bit high, and the striker who meets the standard basically does not come to Schal Possibility of Gram 04...

For example, Falcao, currently in Porto, the termination fee should not be less than 3000 million, this is a famous black shop.

Diego Costa?Can this guy play now?Sun Woo is a bit skeptical...

Griezmann?Uh, this is the unlucky guy who was pitted by Sun Wu...

In the end, Sun Wu provided Magath with three names. One is still Mandzukic. This Croatian striker is the most up to standard. .

The second one is Cavani, the pit king...Actually, Sun Wu is not very optimistic. High, after all Palermo is not a black shop like Udinese.

The third is Raul Gonzalez, who was coming in history. This is a big-time superstar, and he will be able to embody the role that others do not have in the Champions League.
