Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 239
"Come back!" wrote the headline on the main page of the sports section of Gelsenkirchen's local newspaper "Daily Morning".

In addition to writing that Schalke 04 suffered a bad start and scolding the players on the field, the main point of the full text is to call on Zhang Yuan to come back quickly from the perspective of fans, otherwise Schalke 04 will really die soon.

This article was written into the hearts of the fans of Schalke 04. The performance against Hannover was not good. The fans of Schalke 04 who went to Hannover booed the players warmly. Kuranyi bears the brunt. He disappeared the whole game. It is strange that fans can be satisfied with him.

Kuranyi worked very hard in the game. He even tried Zhang Yuan's approach, frequently retreating to respond, but his organizational ability is not his strong point at all, and his role is naturally not comparable to Zhang Yuan.

In the eyes of the watching fans, are you running around on the field or something, go to the penalty area and use your header, header, idiot!

It's not enough for the fans who went to Hannover 96 to boo their team. They are uniting with other fans for the next game against Werder Bremen. If their beloved player plays like this again, they will boo at home!

Zhang Yuan, who made everyone wait so hard, did not disappoint everyone. On February 2, Zhang Yuan appeared at the Schalke 1 training base, which made the fans outside the Schalke 04 base very happy.

Now that Zhang Yuan has appeared here, he must resume training. Then Schalke 04 will play against Werder Bremen at home next time. Zhang Yuan is very likely to play.

At the end of the training that day, when we left the gate of the base, not only reporters but also some fans surrounded us.

"Zhang Yuan, is your injury okay?"

"No problem, I'm back in training now and feel good!"

"So will you play against Werder Bremen next game?"

"It depends on how the head coach arranges! If I am arranged to play, I will go all out for the team to win!"

The Schalke 04 fans waiting here are very happy. They heard the news of Zhang Yuan's resumption of training from Zhang Yuan's mouth. They are more confident that Zhang Yuan will be able to play in the next game.

The door of the winter transfer is tightly closed, Schalke 04 can only get out, the team's strength and the thickness of the bench have been seriously affected, if Kristajic's return from injury is considered a signing, then Schalke 04 In the winter, 7 people were released but only 2 people were brought in.

Buskens and Mulder are still in the position of coaches. How can they overwhelm Buskens and Mulder? Only by hiring a famous coach can they overwhelm Buskens and Mulder The name of Schalke 04 star.

Schnussenberg and Peters are doing this in the winter window, contacting famous coaches in all directions, but many coaches are not in the wild now, and everyone basically knows that Schalke 04 is not willing to come to the current situation The waters are muddy, so many coaches in the field have rejected their invitations.

They once contacted Stevens, the best coach selected by fans in the history of Schalke 04. Stevens coached PSV Eindhoven after returning to the Netherlands from Hamburg. Stevens is the best choice.

However, Stevens refused. On the one hand, he is unwilling to leave the Netherlands because of his wife. On the other hand, the management of Schalke 04 is chaotic, and he himself does not want to go to this muddy water at this time.

In this way, the entire winter break ended, Schnussenberg and Peters failed to complete the task of finding someone to replace Buskens and Mulder, and staggered Muller everywhere in the transfer.

Ernst failed to renew his contract. The salary issue was the consensus of Schalke 04, and selling Ernst was also the common idea of ​​Schalke 04 executives.

But the supplementary staff is Muller's idea, and it is the request of Buskens and Mulder. Muller has a considerable say in the transfer, but this time Schnussenberg and Peters are tight with financial problems. Grab Mueller's neck.

This caused a lot of Schalke 04 during the winter break, but none of them scored. The only Lazar came from the youth team, and the other recruited Marvin Puri from the Premier League Liverpool. This is a young striker. He was loaned to Munich 1860 just after he transferred, and his strength is not enough to gain a foothold in Schalke 04.

Because of this, both the executives and the fans are pinning their hopes on the existing players. Zhang Yuan's timely comeback against the rival Werder Bremen will naturally make everyone happy.

Werder Bremen had a poor start this season, and now they have only achieved 7 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, with only 26 points, ranking tenth.

After Schalke 04 lost to Hannover 96, the points are still 30 points, and the ranking has slipped below the rival Dortmund, ranking seventh.

The two teams were the runner-up and third place last season respectively, but the results of this season are not flattering. It can be said that they are brothers and sisters.

Schalke 04's poor performance is due to the team's chaotic management, but Werder Bremen's decline is due to the injury of Diego, the core midfielder this season, and Ozil failed in the absence of Diego Provoking the burden of organizing the offense, his figure is relatively thin, which is a bit of a disadvantage in the Bundesliga that emphasizes confrontation.

Judging from the recent record, both teams are a bit nervous. For both sides, everyone hopes to win this game and restore the declining trend.

On February 2, both sides played their best in this game, and Schalke 7 still had a 04 formation.

Goalkeeper: Neuer
Defender: Rafinha Hewedesdigan Westermann

Midfielder: Rakitic, Jonas Kobiashvili
Forward: Asamoah Zhang Yuan Farfan
Engelal disappointed both acting managers last game and was benched for the game, replaced by Kobiashvili.

Asamoah, who was diligent on the front line, got the chance to start, and Zhang Yuan came back to play the center forward.

Werder Bremen's Schaff is still in the 4312 formation.

Goalkeeper: Wiese

Defender: Fritz Mertsack Naldo Bernisch
Midfielder: Frings Bowmanziolis
Attacking midfielder: Ozil
Forward: Rosenberg Almeida

It has been raining in Gelsenkirchen for the past few days. On the day of the game, the rain was a little less. The drainage system of the Schalke Stadium is very good, which has little impact on the game, but the venue must be a bit slippery.

This kind of slippery field is not a good thing for a speed player like Zhang Yuan, who is easy to get injured. Zhang Yuan must always pay attention to control his balance.

The stadium is full of Schalke 04 fans. These fans are a lovely group of people. Even if they are not satisfied with the current situation of the team, this cannot be a reason for them not to go to the stadium to watch the game. Their loyalty to the team quite high.

Players from both sides came on the field, and when the on-site commentator read the lists of the two teams, the fans still responded with warm applause and cheers.

Zhang Yuan, who has been absent for 6 rounds of the league, received the warmest welcome from the fans. Looking at this group of down-to-earth fans, Zhang Yuan secretly vowed in his heart that he must bring the fans a victory today and not let them down again.

After the start of the game, the two teams competed fiercely in the midfield. In the opening ten minutes, neither side could create any chances.

Werder Bremen got a corner kick in the 2nd minute, and Naldo's header was confiscated by Neuer.In the 11th minute, Bernisch cooperated with Ozil on the left side and made a pass from the bottom. The ball was firmly hugged by Neuer again.

Schalke 04 didn't have a single shot, and Zhang Yuan didn't get any opportunities in the frontcourt. On the slippery field, Zhang Yuan's personal performance was also affected to a certain extent, and there was no big bright spot.

Buskens and Mulder frowned on the sidelines.

"Zhang Yuan's condition is not ideal today!" Buskens said with a sigh.

"No way, under the rainy conditions, a technical player like him is very affected!" Mulder replied.

Zhang Yuan's poor rain fighting ability didn't just appear today, and his performance in rainy games in the future will always be not as good as usual.

Schaaf is also dissatisfied with the situation on the field. In fact, Schaaff's team is more inclined to play technically. The focus of the entanglement between the two sides is in the midfield. No chances were created.

After 20 minutes, Werder Bremen started to take some initiative and created two chances.In the 21st minute, Nardo launched an attack with a long pass. Hewedes lost his position after making a mistake in judging the point in defense, but Almeida fell down when he was fighting for a penalty kick with Digan in the penalty area. The referee did not No penalty was awarded.

Almeida was very unhappy with the penalty, sitting on the ground and yelling, Digan didn't even pull him and went back to defense.
