Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 242 Weird Atmosphere
"Today's game was very difficult, but we performed very well. The victory is a fair and reasonable result!" Buskens said at the post-match press conference.

"Schalke 04 has always been very difficult at home, but I think we performed very well today, maybe a draw is a reasonable result!" Schaff said.

What Schaff said is very reasonable. The offense of the two teams has reached the lowest point in history. Neither side has more than 10 shots. Schalke 04 has only 7 shots in the game, while Werder Bremen They have one more time, no wonder Schaff is a little unconvinced.

More than two months later, Zhang Yuan appeared again at the post-match press conference, and reporters asked him how he felt about his comeback in the league.

"It feels good, I enjoy the game! Did I score a goal? I'm happy that I scored a goal, but I'm even more happy that this goal brought the team a victory! It's very good!" Zhang Yuan Smiling and answering the questions from the reporters, he is really enjoying the game now. He always thinks about the game during suspension and holidays, and he is eager to participate in the game.

However, the next day the media did not give Zhang Yuan a high score. Bild scored 3 points, which is almost a passing score. Their comments explained the reason for giving 3 points, "Except for one goal, I can't see any outstanding performance from Kid Lightning, he may still be hibernating!"

The ratings of the German media have always been relatively harsh. Zhang Yuan, who only scored a goal, scored lower than some of his teammates. Degan, Hewedes, and Jones all scored 2 points. It can be seen that Zhang Yuan's performance yesterday was indeed sluggish.

Schalke 04 defeated their rivals and accumulated 33 points. The leader Hoffenheim drew with Borussia Mönchengladbach in the away game. The points only increased by one point, reaching 39 points. The third place is Bayern Munich , they are 3 points, Schalke 35 is gradually moving closer to the Champions League.

Buskens and Mulder also breathed a sigh of relief. The next opponent is the Bochum team in the Ruhr area. The full name of the Bochum team has 1848 in it, but in fact their football history can only be traced back to 1911. In [-], it is not too much to call Bochum the younger brother in terms of strength and history.

Bochum is a team that has been relegated year after year, but they are particularly tenacious and can always succeed in relegation. After halfway through this year, they fell into the relegation zone again. They currently rank second to last with only 14 points.

Both Buskens and Mulder are optimistic that Schalke 04 has no reason not to win this game.

The two of them finally smiled on the training ground. Just as the whole team was preparing for the battle, a dumbfounding incident happened.

Kuranyi gave Zhang Yuan a precise header return in the last game. It was this return that allowed Zhang Yuan to score the only goal of the game. Schalke 04 was able to take all three points, but the fans did not agree. Buy his account.

On February 2, Schalke 9's official website was hacked by a hacker fan, and Kuranyi was removed from the team's lineup.

It's fine for the fan to hack the official website, and he even sent the screenshot to the Internet, telling the fans of Schalke 04 that "bad wood" Kuranyi has been removed from the list!

Some fans didn't know why, and thought it was true. Many people left messages on the Internet thanking God, "Waste wood" Kuranyi finally got out, and they didn't think about the transfer during the winter break as early as a few days ago. It's over, where can Kuranyi be expelled? !

Later, Schalke 04's official website was restored, and the official statement was made. Kuranyi was not removed, and our website was hacked!
Kuranyi became the laughing stock of Schalke 04 fans for a while. One can imagine how much Schalke 04 fans hate Kuranyi now. They have completely forgotten who was fighting for Schalke 04 a few years ago. stronghold.

Kuranyi was greatly affected by this incident and was absent-minded during training. Buskens accused him of not training seriously. He lost his temper on the spot and left the training ground.

Kuranyi's bad mood is completely understandable. When this happens, the players are really sad, especially Kuranyi also made great contributions to Schalke 04, so many times the fans are forgetful and perform well When you are good, you can be praised to the sky, and when you are not good, you can be scolded to be worse than shit.

After Zhang Yuan and the others heard about this incident, they thought it was funny at first, but then they couldn’t laugh anymore. The reason why the fans were unhappy was because the team’s performance did not meet everyone’s expectations.

According to the investment in the summer transfer, the fans must think that you can go to the front no matter what, and you should win a championship, but the reality is that Schalke 04 is outside the European theater, Rutten is the draw king, After Buskens and Mulder came to power, they became neurotic knives. Everyone knew that Schalke 04 was not in good shape.

The poor performance of the team cannot be blamed on Kuranyi alone. Everyone has a share, especially Zhang Yuan. The fight caused him to miss a full 5 games, plus 2 games due to injuries. Zhang Yuan only played in total. played a dozen games.

"No matter what, if we want to maintain the winning streak, we can't let the fans down!" Zhang Yuan secretly said to himself, Kuranyi is a lesson from the past.

Since Mai Xuewen left, Zhang Yuan and Digan don't cook at home, but solve problems in the restaurant of the training base every day. Now the home is purely a place for them to sleep.

Neither of them like to go shopping and nightclubs very much. When they were at home, they would always play live for a while. Today, they played again when they returned home.

"Man, don't you think the team is weird now?" Degan said, picking up the controller.

"Hey, what can I do!" Zhang Yuan was also distressed. He also understood that he was a striker who needed support from his teammates, and there was very little he could do without his teammates!

The strange thing Degan said comes from the atmosphere of the team, which is very strange!Bad grades and all kinds of monsters will come out. Some are dissatisfied with the two acting coaches, such as Bolton and Kuranyi, and some are laughing from ear to ear about the Kuranyi incident, such as Jones. He has long criticized the head coach in the media. Employing people indirectly praised Asamoah and belittled Kuranyi, and Kuranyi was deflated, so he gloated.

There are also some who are anxious but helpless, such as Neuer, and some who have nothing to do with themselves, such as Zhang Yuandigan.

In this atmosphere, everyone on the training ground worked a little weirdly. In the training games, the movements were relatively large, and there were one or two times that almost caused a brawl within the team. The protagonists of the two times were Jones and Kuranyi.

There is also a group of people in the team who can muddle through, such as Kobiashvili, Altintop Jr., etc. Kobiashvili represents those who have not been the main force of the team for a long time and have basically determined to leave after the end of the season. Humanoid, their main reason is that they are disappointed with the status quo, the team management is chaotic, and they really can't see the team's hope of winning the championship.The other is Altintop Jr. His contract is about to expire this summer, but negotiations with Schalke 04 on the renewal of his contract collapsed.

Altintop Jr.'s performance so far this season can only be said to be unsatisfactory. On the one hand, Schalke 04's top management is really a bit confused. Specifically, it is Muller who is in charge of negotiating the contract renewal. Muller is busy with Schnussenberg and others. Struggle, the mind is not on this.The other most important reason is that Altintop Jr., like his elder brother, came out of the Schalke 04 youth training. However, Schalke 04 executives have always been harsh on their youth training players, and they are very strict in terms of player positioning. Altintop Jr. is a role player of the team, not the main force, let alone the core. Schalke 04 is relatively slow in contract renewal.

In the end, Altintop Jr. was extremely disappointed, the two sides collapsed, and he will definitely leave at the end of the season. As for where he will go, he has not yet decided.

The same with him is Kristajic, the veteran has now returned, but Degan and Hewedes's position has caused his status in Schalke 04 to plummet, and he will leave at the end of this season.

The weird atmosphere that Zhang Yuan and Degan mentioned refers to the current atmosphere of Schalke 04. On February 2, in this weird atmosphere, Schalke 14 started an away trip to Bochum.

Relegation is about to really start now. The Bochum team is relatively weak. Facing paper strength that is stronger than their opponents in the same district, the head coach Koller has chosen a more conservative style of play. Koller's idea is to face the One point for a strong enemy is one point, and when facing relegation opponents, they can only fight desperately.

So in this game, Koller resolutely chose to defend and counterattack, while Buskens and Mulder at Schalke 04 both wanted to win Bochum with an overwhelming advantage and regain their status for the team.
