Chapter 273 Zhang Yuan's Expectation

Neuer was totally joking. The German team will leave China for the Middle East tomorrow morning. Now it is close to 10 o'clock after the game. How can there be any chance to go out and hang out.

Zhang Yuan must be the focus of everyone's attention. Since his return, he has not been interviewed by reporters.

So after the game, many reporters surrounded Zhang Yuan, and everyone wanted to ask him how he felt.

"I feel very good. It is my pride to be selected for the national team! I will try my best to contribute to the team!"

"Just 10 minutes on the bench today? It's not important. Coach Gao has his arrangements. He has communicated with me before the game. I obey the arrangements of the coaching staff!"

"Impressions of my teammates? They are all very good. I played very well in this game! I still need time to get in touch with everyone!"

Just like Zhang Yuan’s answer, Coach Gao also revealed in an interview with reporters after the game that the reason why Zhang Yuan came off the bench was mainly because Zhang Yuan had only practiced with the team for one day and was not very familiar with the team’s tactics.

On June 6, the Chinese national team ushered in the second opponent Iran in the summer friendly match in QHD.

Zhang Yuan got 45 minutes of playing time in the second half this time, and although there were still big problems in his overall cooperation with the team when he played, and the degree of running-in was really not enough, he still scored a goal with his outstanding personal ability. Help the Chinese team beat the Iranian team by 1 goal.

Zhang Yuan's goal was entirely a manifestation of his personal ability. After receiving a pass from his teammate, he scored two consecutive goals into the right side of the Iranian team's penalty area and succeeded in shooting.

After drawing against the German team and overthrowing Iran, countless media began to praise Gao's army. Oh, the spring of the national football team is here!

It seems to have changed a head coach, and then embarked on the rhythm of winning, especially the draw with the German team made the media very excited and the fans very excited.

Of course, it is indispensable to sing praises to Zhang Yuan. Look at this level, how long it took, and scored goals immediately.

Zhang Yuan also read some recent news, and he didn't take it seriously. Coach Gao of the national team came on stage, and he emphasized pass control and frontcourt pressing.

The team obviously needs a process of adaptation to this style of play, and the two games can't explain anything.

Even from Zhang Yuan's heart, he doesn't think Coach Gao's tactics are good. First of all, the players of the Chinese team do not have strong skills. If it is better, the members of the team must be fixed, but the Chinese team is not like this, and the replacement is more frequent.

Secondly, high-position pressing requires a lot of physical fitness. The harder you run, the more you will suffer. No team can continue to attack at a fast pace in a game, and no team can play in a game. Continuous forward pressure blockade.

If the cooperation between the players is not in place in this tactic, it is easy to cause several lines to be out of touch, and the opportunity is seized by the opponent.

Zhang Yuan is really not optimistic about the current strength of the Chinese team playing such a tactic.

He believes that China should play defensive counterattack tactics, focus on defense, and counterattack efficiently and quickly.

What he thinks is his business. With his current status in the national team, he has no right to say anything, and he is not stupid enough to tell Coach Gao about these things, because he knows that every coach has a stubborn side. Especially in terms of the team's overall tactical thinking, the head coach does not want to be questioned by his players.

After participating in this friendly match, Zhang Yuan bid farewell to the national team and started his summer vacation. Since his family has always been in China, he always chooses to go home every time he goes on vacation. His parents are unwilling to go abroad, so he can only He visits every time he comes home.

This year's holidays are slightly different, his itinerary is to go to Shanghai as the first stop, and Qian Huan casually participates in the commercial shooting of his endorsement car.

Qian Huan and his family’s involvement in the auto industry has been a failure so far. Even though they spent a lot of money to cooperate with Germany, it is difficult to open up the market in China as a national brand itself, and Zhang Yuan’s endorsement is useless.

Qian Huan told Zhang Yuan that he was full of confidence. Even if he didn’t open it now, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t open it in the future. He analyzed the current situation for Zhang Yuan. Domestic family car purchases are growing, and now is an opportunity. As long as the price is high, he is willing to spend a lot of money If the price is advertised, the sales of their brand of cars will definitely increase.

Zhang Yuan didn't understand these things, so he listened to them. After finishing the work here, he rushed to the capital without stopping, because he received an invitation from the sports station to do an episode of "World Football". It airs on Monday and has a large audience in China.

The sports station had never invited him before, but now he is only invited after the national team is called up. Mai Xuewen told Zhang Yuan that this situation is normal, after all, the domestic system is like this.

This is the first time for Zhang Yuan to do a domestic program. In fact, he did quite a lot in Germany before, most of which were due to the requirements of the club and the German Football Association.

Duan Xuan, He Wei, Liu Jia and others finally saw the real Zhang Yuan. To be honest, it has been three years since Zhang Yuan went out, but they had never seen Zhang Yuan in person except for the TV screen.

Zhang Yuan gave them the impression that he was polite and polite, not like the kind of person who could get angry on the court, which made it hard for them to believe that this little guy had fucked Lucio on the court.

This time the program did not play any games, but adopted the mode of interviews, with Duan Xuan as the interviewer and Zhang Yuan as the interviewee.

This kind of talk show is very watery in essence, many questions Zhang Yuan has already answered the reporters, only a few questions that Zhang Yuan has never encountered before.

For example, Duan Xuan asked him what is the difference between playing football abroad and playing domestic football?
Come on, I haven't played football in China at all, okay? !
"I'm not very familiar with domestic leagues, so I don't have any special impressions!" Zhang Yuan could only answer in this way.

Duan Xuan was embarrassed, his brain short-circuited, and he forgot that Zhang Yuan had never played football in China.

In addition, Duan Xuan's questions mainly focused on the new national team, and he asked a lot.

"I was selected for the national team for the first time? I am very happy and excited!"

"Prediction on the prospects of the national team? I think we will get better and better, try our best to play every game, and repay the fans!"

"Evaluation on my debut? I feel that I still need some time to adapt, and I believe I can do well!"

Then Duan Xuanyou asked some questions about Schalke 04, mainly to let Zhang Yuan look forward to the prospects of the next season.

"Our team is a strong team. Last season was bad, but that has passed! Mr. Magath will come to Schalke this season. I hope to achieve an ideal result under his leadership! I am now It’s impossible to predict where we will be next season, but I hope we can lift the salad plate and at least qualify for the Champions League, it’s too bad not to play in the Champions League!”

Zhang Yuan's expectations for the results are very realistic. Schalke 04's overall strength is still the best in the Bundesliga. The constant turmoil in the last season resulted in the final failure to qualify for the European competition.

Of course he wants to win the championship, but in the end it depends on the face of Bayern Munich. If they recover strongly, it will be difficult for Schalke 04. However, if they cannot regain their strength after changing coaches, the overall situation of the Bundesliga will be the same as last season. It is also possible for Schalke 04 to win the championship in a melee.

After all, Schalke 04 will only be able to play in the league and the German Cup next season. Without the shackles of the European war, they must be much more prepared for the domestic league.

As for not being able to participate in the European competition next season, this matter is actually very painful for Zhang Yuan. He scored a total of 8 goals in the European competition last season, ranking second in the scorer list, only one behind Messi goal, while Schalke 04 only reached the top 16. If they can go further, Zhang Yuan is likely to become the top scorer.

Leaving this biggest stage for a while, one can imagine Zhang Yuan's inner depression, but for his own better development, he still rejected the invitations of many clubs and chose to stay in Schalke 04.

So the goal he set for Schalke 04 is to at least enter the Champions League next season, otherwise it will be a failure in his opinion.

After completing this recording, Zhang Yuan received Anna from the United States in the capital. The two walked around the capital and climbed the Great Wall.

However, Zhang Yuan and Anna only stayed here for three days. According to the original plan, they would have to play for a few more days, but he and Anna are now public figures, and it is not very convenient to go out. Zhang Yuan said to the fans countless times, "I am not Zhang Yuan!", Tired, might as well go home!

Besides, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law. This is the first time Zhang Yuan brought his girlfriend home. The whole family mobilized. My sister went home with her stomach full to make arrangements, while her brother-in-law Li Jun stayed in Chengdu to pick up the airport.
