Chapter 378
Schalke 04 is barely considered a giant in the Bundesliga. Although there is no dazzling championship title in the long history of the club, at least they won two league runner-ups in the first ten years of the 21st century, and even won the double last year.

But in European football, Schalke 04's influence is much smaller. Apart from other things, at least one Champions League champion has not been won.

After Dortmund defeated Juventus to lift the Big Ears Cup that year, Bayern Munich became the only team in German football that can be competitive in the European war. Its strong influence in the Bundesliga is largely due to this reason.

In other words, no matter how good the performance in the Bundesliga is, it may be a flash in the pan. Only with continuous outstanding performance in the Champions League can they be called a giant. This is how Arsenal became a giant. to the Champions League.

The club is the same, the players are the same, the same reason.

Last season, he led the team to show off at San Siro and Old Trafford. With such an excellent performance at the Bernabéu for the first time this season, Sun Wu became the focus of European football for a while. Agent Pei Ray's phone was about to explode.

"Bild": "The new German footballer led the team to retreat at the Bernabéu Stadium"

Frankfurter Zeitung: "Best keeps unbeaten record against Mourinho"

In the Schalke 04 club restaurant.

"What is an unpopularity? What is an accident?" Sun Wu shook the newspaper in his hand and complained to Draxler beside him, "2 to 2, is this draw an accident? Is it an unpopularity?"

Draxler said nothing, having heard this complaint for several days.

Although Sun Wu was dissatisfied with the score of 2 to 2, he could still accept it, but he began to complain the next day after returning to Germany. The media agreed that Schalke 04 was lucky and could grab a point from Real Madrid.

So even though the media gave Sun Wu high praise for his personal performance, Sun Wu was very upset.

"If there is a big score between the two sides, whether it is Real Madrid sweeping Schalke 04, or Schalke 04 sweeping Real Madrid... that would be considered an upset!" Sun Wu snorted, "A draw can only mean that Mourinho has a good Olympic spirit." ..."

"Okay, there is another chance to hand over the phone." Neuer came over and said with a smile: "Best, we should pay attention to the next game."

Draxler also said: "This game is not easy to play, they look very good..."

The next game is the Ruhr Derby. The Hornets built by Klopp have gradually revealed their glory. The start of the season has surprised people. They have won seven consecutive victories in the league, cup and Europa League, and at least two goals in each game. The ball, and successively defeated tough bones such as Leverkusen, Stuttgart, and Wolfsburg in the league.

"Status is not directly related to the result." Captain Westerman said to Draxler seriously: "Derby in the Ruhr area, every player will do their best, and the biggest factor affecting the result of the game has always been courage!"

"The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road." Sun Wu nodded in agreement, "In a bayonet match, the key depends on who is more ruthless, so the probability of red and yellow cards in the derby will be greatly increased."

Although he said so in his mouth, Sun Wu was very worried in his heart. Courage is what is most needed in the derby, but it is not only courage that affects the result of the game, team tactics, player status... and the key tacit understanding.

The defense is okay. Although Matip and Hewedes are only playing central defenders this season, they are old people after all, and they stabilized quickly, and their strict defense against the Real Madrid superstars in the last game gave them confidence.

The key is Mandzukic. Although the Croatian striker is working hard, he is a little slow to integrate into the team. It takes time to get used to passing and running, passing and shooting.

Moreover, this kind of running-in can't be successful only by relying on time, it often needs an opportunity...

During the afternoon training, Sun Wu's loud voice frequently rang out on the training ground.

"With Best, you can save some effort." Magath looked at Hollerbach.

"That's called stealing my job!" Hollerbach curled his lips.

Magath is the head coach, but Hollerbach is responsible for the tactical details in training, such as player movement, and now Sun Wu has taken his job.

"But in fact, Best is more suitable." Fitness coach Reuthard said with a smile: "Everyone listens to him...and he can speak German, English, Spanish, and Portuguese. It is more convenient to communicate than you."

The substitute team took a corner kick, Westerman made a clearance, and Sun Wu appeared in a key position. After holding the ball and making a fake move to the left, he quickly turned from the other side and bypassed Hitzlsperger who was grabbing up. , The two passed each other... Sun Wu shrank deliberately, he really didn't want to get in touch with Hitzlsperger, whether it was on or off the court!
"When counterattacking, the probability of Best appearing in a key position is very high." Reuthard couldn't help but praised: "This is talent!"

"No, no, no, this is the result of hard work and communication with teammates." Hollerbach retorted: "The backline clearance ball generally has a fixed direction of clearance, and Best has full communication with them."

"Actually, Best received the clearance ball and launched a counterattack frequently. This is your illusion." Magath shook his head, "The key is that Best is very particular about the position where he receives the ball, so the success rate of launching a counterattack is very high. High, which makes it look like he can always be the starting point for counterattacks."

Sun Wu cooperated with Rakitic and Raul in a series. Rakitic slanted to the right side of the penalty area, and Mandzukic scored from a small angle.

Sun Wu shook his head dissatisfied, "Christopher, don't release the water!"

Metzelder didn't even reach out to block Mandzukic's kick. In fact, he had a chance to block the shot, but the former Real Madrid defender was a glass man and was too afraid of injury.

Magath on the sidelines also reminded loudly, asking Metzelder to cheer up.

During Schalke 04's confrontation training, Magath asked the players to train with the attitude and intensity of a formal game, which made Metzelder tremble a bit.

After a day of training, Sun Wu drove away from the club. At the gate, several Orientals with cameras were cruising around the gate.

Sun Wu stepped on the brake lightly, lowered the window, and waved with a smile, "Newcomer?"

It has been almost a year since Sun Wu and Hao Junmin moved to Schalke 04. The Chinese reporters who often come here are very familiar, and these few people have never seen them before.

But Sun Wu immediately knew that he was wrong, the leading Oriental bowed slightly, and spit out a string of Japanese.

It's Japanese, the smile on Sun Wu's face disappeared, and he put on the sunglasses expressionlessly.

"Best, do you know Shinji Kagawa?"

Sun Wu turned his head slightly to look at the Japanese, and rolled up the window unhappily... Reporters and fans who often come to Schalke 04 know that he prefers to be called "Best" rather than "Best". Sun Wu".

Shinji Kagawa came to Dortmund this summer and unexpectedly became the main force immediately. He opened the scoring for the team in the first game, and played every minute in the next six games, contributing 1 goals and 4 assists.

From the data point of view, both Shinji Kagawa and Dortmund are better than Sun Wu and Schalke 04.
