Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 261 Cottbus
After a short rest and examination by the team doctor, Zhang Yuan resumed training on April 4. When he came to the training ground, the first news Zhang Yuan got was that the general manager Muller was kicked out of Schalke 15.

The former manager of Schalke 04 was Rudy Aschauer. This Aschauer is definitely one of the best managers in the Bundesliga. He is a man who drinks good wine, smokes cigars, embraces beautiful women and wears famous watches A conspirator with a bully face, a godfather of a gangster wearing sunglasses.

But Schalke 04 has reemerged in his hands, and was only one step away from the championship several times. Therefore, such a character, who has the ability to package himself in front of the media, has a great influence.

At that time, he was a promise in the top management of Schalke 04, and no one could shake his position, but he left and Andres Muller took over, and life was not so easy.

Who would be willing to control the power in the hands of one person? Schalke 04 is a membership club, and the general manager has a lot of power. But when it comes to Muller, this system will not work. Both Schnussenberg and Peters want to intervene.

The final result was that Muller was finally defeated in the battle and chose to leave by himself.

The second news is that Buskens and Mulder are still acting as the team's head coaches, but it is certain that time is numbered.

The two of them have a close relationship with Muller, but they also have an identity as an old courtier of Schalke 04. It is impossible for Muller to leave, and they will leave Schalke 04 alone.

Another reason is that Schnussenberg and Peters have not found a suitable coach. Now that the internal situation of Schalke 04 is relatively clear, they may attack again to find a new coach.

Zhang Yuan felt that these two pieces of news were not bad. No matter how the top management changes, the situation is stable, which is conducive to the stability of the team.

On April 4th, Schalke 17 will welcome Cottbus at home. Cottbus is also deeply in the relegation circle. After 04 rounds, they only accumulated 27 points, ranking second to last, 23 points higher than Karlsruhe, and the situation is not optimistic.

The past two years of the Bundesliga belonged to the era of melee, the competition for European qualification was a melee, and the relegation zone was also a melee.

There are still 7 rounds left in the league. For everyone, every game is a final, and we must do our best. Karlsruhe won a victory at the home court of Schalke 04 in the last game. Tebs had the same thought.

Before the game, Shao Jia called Zhang Yuan and said that there is a great possibility that he will go to Schalke 04 this time. This season, Shao Jia is getting less and less attention from Prasznica, and there are very few opportunities to play.

During the contact with Zhang Yuan, Shao Jiaping revealed the idea of ​​ending the trip to Cottbus. Zhang Yuan did not persuade him. It is very painful to not be able to play the game. He has experienced this before. Besides, Shao Jia is not young anymore, and the ups and downs on the road to study abroad are far less smooth than that of a person with no roots and no background.

The two discussed for a while and decided to get together after the game. Although they are fellow villagers, there are not many opportunities for the two to meet each other throughout the season, and each has its own busy schedule.

The Chinese Derby will be staged this Saturday—this is another gimmick created by the domestic media. Zhang Wei also specially came to interview Zhang Yuan. Generally speaking, Zhang Wei is the most knowledgeable and interesting of domestic reporters. Zhang Yuan’s impression of him Very good, basically he will not refuse his interview, and Zhang Wei has always been the vanguard in establishing a positive image for Zhang Yuan, and has really helped him a lot in this regard.

For example, in the incidents of group sex and beatings, Zhang Wei kept writing reports in favor of Zhang Yuan, refuting some domestic claims that smeared Zhang Yuan's image.

People are animals of interest, and such Zhang Wei will naturally get Zhang Yuan's special respect, so before this "China Derby", Zhang Wei successfully got the opportunity of Zhang Yuan's exclusive interview.

In this exclusive interview, Zhang Wei mainly asked questions about some details of Zhang Yuan's life, because he told Zhang Yuan that he wanted to write a more comprehensive and comprehensive report, not just limited to football.

His idea is also to satisfy the wishes of many fans in China. Fans like some information about Zhang Yuan’s daily life, such as how to live in a foreign country, how the current life is different from the previous life, how to arrange holidays, etc. little things.

The previous interviews were too careless in this regard, but Zhang Wei asked more detailed questions this time. Zhang Yuan doesn’t like his private life being exposed to everyone, but as a public figure, he has to accept it, so he cooperated with Zhang Wei to complete the interview .

Schalke 04's performance during this period is not bad, maybe ask ten Schalke 04 fans, ten of them will say it is really bad, all kinds of exits, the Champions League survived the group stage, but still failed to survive ten The top six and the German Cup are also out, and there is a 70.00% chance that the European theater of the league will be out of play.

But these will never be a reason to prevent them from going to the Schalke Stadium to watch football. Football has been integrated into their lives. Watching football is a rare pastime every week. Still a sea of ​​people.

Before the game, the fans seemed to have forgotten the previous game and started singing the team song again. The players still won applause from the fans when they came out.

This is the cutest group of fans in Germany!

Even though Buskens and Mulder knew that their time was numbered, they still led the team to train conscientiously and made detailed tactical arrangements, although they also knew that some players no longer listened to their commands.

For example, Bolton, Bolton is very dissatisfied with his current situation. He was placed on the bench in this game. After the roster was announced on the 16th, Bolton was very upset and opened fire on Buskens and Mulder on the spot. , As a result, there is no place for him on the bench.

Do Buskens and Mulder have selfish intentions? Yes, absolutely!Regardless of whether they are in this position in the future, they still have love for Schalke 04.

After Rutten left, Buskens and Mulder made up their minds to take Bolton down. It is impossible to judge whether they are going the right way. Digan's rise is very fast, and the defense line is always Schalke 04 is relatively stable. However, from the record point of view, Schalke 04 is a bit horrible, and the defense seems to look horrible, conceding goals almost every game.

Buskens didn't think so. He felt that his team's defense was really not that bad. The bad thing was the striker and the midfield. Rakitic's state plummeted after being messed around. Engelal obviously Not quite adapting to the rhythm of the Bundesliga, the reliable Ernst is gone, except for Zhang Yuan on the front line, everyone else is a bit disappointing.

This is the reason for Schalke's poor performance in 04, so Buskens and Mulder are still firmly supporting young people to take the lead. Bolton and Kristajic have to stand aside, but Kristajic doesn't care, anyway. At the end of this season, he will return to the domestic league for retirement. Bolton is the captain, so he is not happy.

This guy saw Muller go away, and he knew it well, so he immediately stood up and sang the opposite tune, and satirized the two of you.

Buskens and Mulder are actually even more unscrupulous in their current state. It’s nothing to say, don’t go on, just watch the football in the stands, and the club will give you a ticket.

So this game is still the central defender combination of Degan and Hewedes, and Zhang Yuan entered the starting lineup as usual.

In just 4 minutes of the opening, Schalke 04 scored a goal. Left back Pandel took a tactical corner kick from the right. Rafinha made a short pass. After hitting Cottbus defender Zvitanovic, he changed direction slightly and flew into the upper left corner of the goal, 1 to 0!

Schalke 04, who played at home, took the lead, conceding a goal at the start, obviously exceeding Prasznica's expectations, and also exceeding the expectations of the Cottbus players.What they don't know is that this is just the beginning.

In the 23rd minute, Jones made a direct pass from the frontcourt, and Zhang Yuan scored a goal in front of the penalty area. Altintop Jr. got the ball before Ladridge and broke into the penalty area to pass back to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan followed up and made a precise hit. Tremel guards the bottom right corner of the gate, 2-0!

As soon as the goal scored in Cottbus, the players obviously lost their spirits. Prashnika was very anxious on the sidelines, but nothing could arouse the morale of the players.

Schalke 04's morale was finally overwhelmed because of this goal, and the phenomenon of shrinking back and forth in the previous games did not appear again. Everyone started to play more relaxed and created more opportunities.

The score in the first half ended at 2:0. In the last 20 minutes, Schalke 04 failed to break through the gate of Cottbus. Tebs, Schalke 04 don't seem to have the heart to rub salt in their wounds.
