Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 276 The Beginning of Devil Training

"Sir, I am willing to accept your arrangement!" Zhang Yuan agreed after thinking about it. The factor he considered was that at least one person at the forward position could share the strength with him.

"You should believe in me, Zhang Yuan! You also have to believe in yourself, you have the ability to do well in the position of number nine and a half!" Magath patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said.

Magath came and did a lot of homework. Weak attack is the biggest problem of Schalke 04. If ranked by the number of goals scored, Schalke 04 ranks lower than it is now. Wolff has the most goals in the league. Fort, reached 80 goals, 04 more than Schalke 30.

Magath's idea is to improve Schalke 04's offense no matter what, but also to maintain the fine tradition of Schalke 04's solid defense.

For this reason, he decided to change his formation, changing the previous 433 to 442, with a diamond-shaped midfield position, adding a midfielder, and two full-backs to press when attacking.

Adding a center forward to the front line requires a high center forward. This combination of strikers is called a high-speed combination. This combination has already appeared in football, and it is still enduring today.

Magath intends to sacrifice such a striker combination. The basic idea is to keep Kuranyi. After thinking for a long time, he still intends to keep Kuranyi. After all, this person has excellent header ability, and Zhang Yuan is with him. It complements each other.

Of course, this is just Magath's wishful thinking now. If the effect is not good by then, he can only change passively.

After talking with Magath, Zhang Yuan knew the role he would play this season. In fact, he took on a much lighter task. The front midfielder was preset. This position is destined to be the core of the playmaker. Zhang Yuan Far from retreating to get the ball organization as frequently as last season, it has become someone on the front line to share the pressure of scoring for him, and there is also an attacking midfielder to help him share in the offensive organization.

It is not correct to say that Zhang Yuan shared the responsibility. It should be said that Zhang Yuan helped the people in these two positions share the tasks, changing from the previous protagonist to the supporting role.

Why would Magath do this?Because he thinks that Zhang Yuan is very comprehensive, the most prominent is dribbling and speed, and his breakthrough ability is strong, but he is not top-notch in terms of organization and ability to grab points in front of the goal alone, so it is better for him to arrange Zhang Yuan to play as a second striker.

Zhang Yuan can score goals, but in the eyes of Magath, he wasted a lot of opportunities. He felt that it would be more conducive to Zhang Yuan's performance to decompress Zhang Yuan. After all, Zhang Yuan is still the player he looks forward to the most. .

The individual training is over, and the day of Schalke 04 training camp is coming. This year is not a big competition year, and Schalke 04 players have returned to Gelsenkirchen one after another.

On the night of July 7, Zhang Yuan and a group of buddies from the team went out for a night of carnival. Tomorrow, the happy days will be over. Everyone is very disturbed, wondering what the devil coach Magath will come up with to deal with them.

Zhang Yuan and the others didn't dare to play for long at night, and went home after 10 o'clock. On the way home, Digan was excited with anticipation.

"Digan, it looks like you are looking forward to tomorrow's training!" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Haha, I haven't played football for a long time, I miss it very much! I hope to see something interesting tomorrow!" Degan said with a big smile, he was in a good mood, Schalke 04 renewed his contract, according to his father Old Wright thought that Degan should leave here.

Degan's outstanding performance in the last season is not unpopular. Although there are no wealthy families, there are still many people who want him in the middle and lower reaches. Mr. Wright is unconsciously drifting away, hoping that his son can earn more money.

Degan rejected his father's suggestion to transfer and chose to stay behind. Schalke 04 currently has Zhang Yuan as the first salary, and the second tier is Bolton, Kuranyi and others. It can only be ranked in the third echelon, about 100 million after tax, which has restored the previous level in AC Milan.

Compared with his elder brother Kaka who just transferred to Real Madrid, he is far behind, but he is very happy. He earned the money by relying on his own strength, not because of Kaka, but because he is Zhang Yuan. A good buddy gave alms.

Having said that, no Bundesliga club would give alms like this.

With the money he earned, Degan was also a lot more generous. This season, the cost of Zhang Yuan’s box was shared equally by Digan, Neuer, and Rakitic. Everyone shared a box. This AA system really made Zhang Yuan Overjoyed.

He blamed himself for being so stupid before, why he didn't think of such a good idea!
Not to mention that Digan is looking forward to what will happen tomorrow, Zhang Yuan himself is also looking forward to it.

Arriving at the training ground at 08:30 the next morning, in the Schalke 04 locker room, the players were laughing and joking about the holiday.

Zhang Yuan has also become the object of everyone's attention because of Zhang Yuan's hairstyle.

In the United States, Anna dragged Zhang Yuan to her hair stylist for a long mohawk cut, very punk.

Now Zhang Yuan has to spend energy on his hair in order to maintain his image. When he posted his new hairstyle on his personal website and Facebook, it attracted unanimous praise and netizens left messages one after another.

"Zhang Yuan, what is this hairstyle called? You are so handsome!"

"I have to say that people rely on their appearance. Your hairstyle used to be terrible, but now you have completely changed your image!"

Everyone in the locker room is very interested in his hairstyle, and there are many people who hope to try it.

While everyone was discussing lively, Magath entered the locker room, and the players suddenly fell silent.

Compared with Magath, Schalke 04 players are inferior. They don't have any glorious past, and their strength speaks for themselves here.

"Gentlemen! I'm glad you're back intact! The first training session is about to begin, and we'll gather at the training ground at 9 o'clock. Be quick and there will be penalties for being late!" Magath delivered a welcome speech.

"Good coach!"

"Good sir!"

The players responded to Magath's request and accelerated the pace of changing clothes.

At 9 o'clock, all Schalke 04 players gathered on the training ground. Everyone stood upright and did not dare to make mistakes in front of the devil coach, even veterans like Bolton and Kuranyi were no exception.

"The first thing, our summer training starts today. There will be a lot of training every day. I hope that each of you can finish it seriously. If you can't finish it, you all know the consequences!" Well, it goes without saying that it must be be severely punished.

"Second thing, I need to appoint a new captain. You can choose it yourself. It will be selected this afternoon!" It was the senior management who appointed the new captain, and now Magath actually lets the players choose by themselves, but that's good too, the one he chooses will be more face-saving.

After these two things were said, the training officially began.

During the period of Slomka, Rutten, and Buskens, the training camps were basically based on training with the ball, but today Magath is obviously different. For 90 minutes in the morning, he completely adopted the method of training without the ball. The ball mode is to let everyone run crazily, warm-up run, long-distance run, sprint, turn-back run, and run with tires pulled.

There was no rest time in the middle. After 90 minutes, everyone was tired, especially the older ones who really sat on the ground and didn't want to talk. They felt more tired than playing a game.

Seeing that everyone worked hard to complete the training content, Magath showed a satisfied smile, but what greeted everyone after the smile was even more tragic.

"Everyone has done a good job. This morning's training is over, and there is another training session at 5:04 in the afternoon!" This is nothing. The coaches of Schalke [-] basically practice twice a day.

The key is that Magath said and then said: "There is not much time left for us to train. I forgot to inform you just now. At this moment, everyone will go home after lunch and bring the daily necessities. From today onwards, everyone will live together until the next day." The summer training is over, of course I will give everyone a holiday! From July 7th to 6th, we will go to Herzlak for training!"

Hearing this news undoubtedly made everyone very upset. They were not allowed to go home after training in Gelsenkirchen. It was too much!

But there is no way that the arms are destined to be unable to twist the thighs. Ma Jia is so powerful that everyone can only recognize it. Single dogs like Zhang Yuan and Digan don't care.

After having lunch at the base, Zhang Yuan and Digan went home to pack their luggage, and then checked into the training base. They were very close to the base but there was nothing special about it, so they had to live in the base.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the players began to vote for the captain. This election was similar to Zhang Yuan's selection of class cadres in the school before, and he voted by secret ballot.

There are three captains to choose, a regular captain, a deputy captain and a third captain.

In addition, there is a team committee to be formed. The election method of the team committee will not be repeated. The team committee will be composed of three captains plus the fourth and fifth votes.

Three people's names can be filled in on one ballot. It doesn't matter whether the captain, deputy captain, or third captain is determined in order according to the total number of votes obtained in the final count.
