Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 238 is back

"Mr. Raiola, it may not be appropriate to raise Zhang Yuan's salary now. We have only signed the contract for half a year!" Schalke 04 general manager Muller said calmly, holding back his anger.

"No, Mr. Muller, I totally disagree with you! A player's salary should match his performance, not the length of signing time! I think Zhang Yuan's current performance and status in the team should be given a reasonable Praise!" Raiola shook his finger very rudely.

The reason for the salary increase is nothing more than this reason. It is determined based on the performance and status of the players. What Raiola said is true.

Zhang Yuan's current status and role are different from those half a year ago. Raiola means that the old contract can no longer be used to match Zhang Yuan.

"Mr. Raiola, our club will seriously consider your request and give you an answer in the near future, okay?!" Muller said helplessly.

"Okay, no problem, I will wait for your news! Zhang Yuan is happy to stay here, but he is a professional player after all, and he will also think about his future!" Raiola responded lightly.

Raiola has already analyzed Zhang Yuan's situation. On the one hand, Zhang Yuan's performance is very good, and his status in the team is also rising day by day. On the other hand, Zhang Yuan's contract is only three years, and Inter Milan still has a two-year contract. The repurchase period, Schalke 04 will definitely be concerned about this.

He believes that the senior management of Schalke 04 will make a wise choice, that is, choose to renew the contract with Zhang Yuan, so that Zhang Yuan can stay with peace of mind.

Schalke's 04 winter training ended. During this period, they did not have a warm-up match due to club management reasons. They only played an internal friendly match with the youth team on January 1. The quality of training let Buskens and Mu Gerd was worried.

The departure of several fringe role players did not give them a headache. The most important thing is the departure of Ernst. The role of this veteran is very obvious. Judging from the performance in training, Raza is still far from Ernst. , The two had to hand over the position of the main midfielder to Englar.

Englar's weakness is obvious. He is tall and not flexible enough. He is not at a disadvantage in physical confrontation, but his injuries are a bit frequent. He didn't play a few games in the first half of the season. So far, he has been integrating into the team's overall style of play. Slow progress.

The results of the UEFA Champions League draw came out two days after the end of the group stage. Schalke 04 will face Villarreal in La Liga.

This is not a good signing. This team is not easy to deal with. The strength gap between Schalke 04 and them is not obvious. It can be said that it is a fierce battle.

There is still a gap of 5 points from the top of the league table. With the current mental outlook, it is easier said than done to catch up.

January 1th is the Chinese traditional festival Spring Festival. This Spring Festival is the most miserable life for Zhang Yuan. It’s fine if he doesn’t have his family and girlfriend to accompany him. Mai Xuewen, who hasn’t cooked for himself, is even more miserable for Zhang Yuan. They have to participate in training every day, because they have been preparing for the German Cup opponent Jena in the last two days.

The only thing that made him more gratified was that Digan still remembered that there was a Spring Festival, and he invited Zhang Yuan to eat a Brazilian barbecue. This was Zhang Yuan's 2009 Spring Festival.

On January 1, the third round of the German Cup started. Schalke 27's opponent is the Jena team. The full name of the Jena team is Carl Zeiss Jena team.

Like Wolfsburg and Leverkusen, they are factory teams. When it comes to Carl Zeiss China, many people must know that their most powerful is optical instruments, and their level is in a leading position in the world.

However, after World War II, the company split up. Both East and West Germany had Carl Zeiss. Before the merger of East and West Germany, most of the Carl Zeiss optical instruments imported by China were produced in Jena, East Germany.

The Jena team was established in 1903 and is located in Jena, Thuringia, East Germany. Before the merger of East and West Germany, it was a strong team in East Germany. It has won 3 East German League Championships, 4 East German Cup Championships and 1 time. Cup Winners Cup Runner Up.The club has sent 33 international players to the former GDR national team (East Germany).

After the merger of Germany and Germany, Jena was included in the Bundesliga Bundesliga, with ups and downs in the middle, and now it has been relegated to the C Bundesliga, and the situation is not as good as before.

Facing the powerful Schalke 04 this time, they had nothing to do. Zhang Yuan scored twice with both left and right feet to help the team win the opponent 4:1.

Buskens and Mulder are very satisfied with the results, and also very satisfied with Zhang Yuan's performance just now. The Jena team can't find a way to restrain Zhang Yuan, who is like a tiger coming out of the mountain. In the first half, Zhang Yuan completed the goal. The second goal gave Schalke 04 a two-goal lead.

The only reason why Buskens and Mulder looked gloomy was also Zhang Yuan, because Zhang Yuan left the field due to injury in the 67th minute of the second half.

The problem is not very big, but the ankle is a little sprained and needs to rest for a few days. According to the assertion of the team doctor Larek against Hannover 96, it is better not to let Zhang Yuan play it to be safe!
Hearing this news, both Buskens and Mulder had the urge to hit the wall, God, Almighty Lord, we eagerly look forward to his return, come back!

As a result, you are so good at joking, you actually played a German Cup. The confrontation was not particularly fierce, and Zhang Yuan was injured again!
At that time, Zhang Yuan was just kicking against the players of the Jena team. The opponent's action was not considered a foul. It was just a normal and reasonable fight between the two of them.

At the post-match press conference, Buskens was not excited about winning, but instead had a look of sadness on his brows.

The reporters certainly know what Buskens is worried about, but what everyone wants to know most is whether Zhang Yuan's injury is serious or not, and will he be able to play in the next game?
"His injury is not serious, but he needs to rest for a few days! I don't know if he can play against Hannover 96. We'll see then!" Buskens responded listlessly to the reporters.

The next day, the news media affirmed Zhang Yuan’s return performance, but he was injured immediately. This made the media talk about the prospect of Schalke 04 against Hannover 96. Because Zhang Yuan was absent in the first half of the season, Schalke 04 His performance is like a nerve knife, losing a game, winning a game, and his state is unstable.

Hannover 96 coach Heiking was very happy to hear the news. When the reporter interviewed him before the game, he returned to the reporter like this.

"Zhang Yuan was injured?! What a pity! He is a talented player, but Schalke 04 is not alone. I believe Schalke 04 is still a strong team without Zhang Yuan! But I have to say Zhang The long absence is good news for us, and we are more confident to beat them!"

Hei Jin is suspected of psychological warfare. He seems to be provoking Buskens and Mulder. Without Zhang Yuan, you are just mediocre.

"Our team is not a one-man team. Zhang Yuan is very important, but we can think of enough ways to deal with it. There are other players in our team!" When facing the reporter, Buskens finally held back and did not raise the question. Ranyi's name, because he knew that when he mentioned it, it would not only increase the pressure on Kuranyi, but also the reporters would scoff.

Kuranyi okay?The player that Schalke 04 fans call "good for nothing"!

On January 1, Schalke 31 challenged Hannover 04 in an away game. Zhang Yuan did not go with the team. Hei Jin was relieved to see Schalke 96 starting.

Hei Jin only knows that Zhang Yuan is becoming more and more difficult to defend, and his team cannot devote all their energy to Zhang Yuan. Schalke 04 is indeed not a team of Zhang Yuan alone. Without Zhang Yuan, they still It is a strong team.

In the last game against Jena, Schalke 04 dominated in all aspects, but this time against Hannover 96, a mid-range Bundesliga team, they couldn't do what they did in the previous game.

The sluggish state is a true portrayal of them, and the last game against Jena was just an appearance.

Engelal was placed in the defensive midfielder position by Buskens, but the overall coordination with the team was not good. In the second half, Buskens gave Raza a chance to come off the bench, but Raza's performance was worse than Engelal .

Not to mention the sluggishness of this position, the most important thing is that the players in the center and front field are in a slump. This situation is a bit out of control, and Hannover 96's momentum at home is getting stronger and stronger.

The most outstanding performance was Schalke 04's defense, two young central defenders Degan and Hewedes, and Jones, who could not run to death, withstood the attack of Hannover 96.

After 80 minutes, Schalke 04 still conceded the goal. Steiner, who came off the bench, received Hanke's response, and the world wave broke Neuer's goal.

Neuer yelled and kicked the ball into the air angrily, but he couldn't wake up the listless teammates.

In the end of the game, with this goal, Hannover beat Schalke 1 0-04 at home and took all three points. Schalke 04 suffered a bad start in the second half of the season.
