Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 279 Kuranyi's Selflessness
Schalke 04 has a tradition of producing young talents, but most of them are unable to gain a firm foothold in the first team. Not only Schalke 04 is like this, but many clubs in the Bundesliga are like this. There are too few of them.

Produced one per year is regarded as the top of the top, and now no club can do it, producing one every two or three years is not bad.

Germany's youth training success rate is currently the highest in Europe. The reason is that the German Football Association has invested heavily in youth training to support all German clubs and put forward rigid regulations.

Bundesliga and Bundesliga clubs must have youth training colleges that meet professional standards, and the construction of youth training facilities must be standardized: each Bundesliga youth team must have 3 professional fields (2 in Bundesliga), 3 coaches (2 in Bundesliga), Goalkeeper coach, team doctor and medical room must have.Any club that does not comply with the above regulations will be immediately disqualified from the competition.

This is just one of the reasons. The other reason is that most of the clubs mentioned above have no money. Financial health does not mean that they are rich. They are doomed to not invest much in the transfer market. Strong plasticity, if you can't kick it out, you won't lose much.

On the contrary, if it is a player imported from a club outside Germany at a high price, the failure will be a heavy loss for the club.

After a season in the Bundesliga like Engelal, he can return to the Bundesliga at the original price when he turns around. Schalke 04 can't wait to hug Rutten and kiss him, because Rutten is the head coach of PSV Eindhoven. Will Engelal be described as true love.

But even so, the success rate of Germany's youth training cannot be unlimitedly high. Draxler undoubtedly impressed Magath through this internal competition. It is foreseeable that if he can continue to stand out in the youth team, Waldoch will recommend , the first team is not far from the 16-year-old teenager.

Only the training and competition of the first team can make these talents grow faster. Didn't Zhang Yuan come here because the Bundesliga originally intended to give young people opportunities.

In today's internal match, Zhang Yuan didn't play at all. Magath felt that Zhang Yuan performed well in the German Cup. The internal match is to examine the nature of the players, so there is no need to send the main force Zhang Yuan.

Kuranyi is still on the field. He scored a goal against Yundik Kuranyi in the last game. With Zhang Yuan beside him and the midfielder giving more support to the striker, Kuranyi should play better. However, he still needs to find his status in the game. After all, Kuranyi served as Zhang Yuan's substitute after Ruteng got out of class last season, and he didn't have many chances to play.

After the game, Zhang Yuan deliberately walked towards Draxler, patted him on the shoulder and praised him: "Julian, you performed very well today! Maybe it won't be long before we can see you in the first team! Haha!"

"Really?! I think I did really well today!" Draxler said happily.

Zhang Yuan put his mouth together to look at his ears and said, "Come on! I think Mr. Magath is very satisfied with you today, and I'm thinking about Mr. Waldoch's question about you!"

"Really?!" Draxler was excited this time, shouting loudly, the first team is his dream.

"Shh, don't be so loud! Don't be proud! Perform well, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future. I look forward to competing with you!" Zhang Yuan signaled him to calm down.

Draxler nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, he had to calm down, he hadn't really advanced yet.

After chatting with Draxler, Zhang Yuan and other teammates left the court. Draxler looked at Zhang Yuan's back and didn't speak for a long time.

Since Zhang Yuan took the lead in Schalke 04, Draxler has always regarded him as a role model, the goal of surpassing, if he can compete with Zhang Yuan on the court, that is his dream, and all this may happen in the near future will come true.

On August 8th, Nuremberg, Franks Stadium, Nuremberg ushered in the first game after the upgrade, the opponent is Schalke 8.

The Nuremberg team was very bullish in the early days of its establishment. It was known as a strong team at the time, but after World War II, this club gradually declined and became an underdog. In recent years, it has been in the first and second divisions. wandering between.

In the 07-08 season, they were relegated to the Bundesliga as the third-to-last Bundesliga. At that time, the Bundesliga relegation system did not have the rule that the Bundesliga’s bottom-to-last and the Bundesliga’s third-ranked home and away matchups had the winner staying in the Bundesliga, so they were relegated directly. Into the second class.

Then in the 08-09 season, the Bundesliga changed the rules again. Since the 2008-09 season, the team ranked third from the bottom in the Bundesliga needs to play a play-off with the team ranked third in the Bundesliga, and the winner can stay in the Bundesliga.

Nuremberg is the No.3 of Bundesliga Bundesliga and had to play a play-off with Cottbus, the bottom three of the Bundesliga, but they were not thrilled at all and beat Cottbus with a total score of 5:0 in two rounds. Back to the Bundesliga again.

Nuremberg Michael Onin took over Nuremberg after the winter break in 2008, but he failed to lead Nuremberg to a firm foothold in the Bundesliga. After the team was relegated to the second division, he continued to stay in the team as the head coach.

What is more strange is that Rose, the chairman of Nuremberg known as the "coach killer", did not fire him and continued to let him lead the team. However, Ao Ning lived up to expectations and soon led Nuremberg back this season.

They did not move much in the summer transfer window, and only introduced one player in total, Broich.

The top star in the team is Mintal. Last season he was the top scorer in the Bundesliga, scoring 16 goals. He also won the Bundesliga Golden Boot, but that was several years ago up.

Nuremberg is best at defending, but in this game they are facing a brand-new Schalke 04, whether they can defend is a big doubt.

Schalke 04 injured another general before the game today. Rakitic was injured during the warm-up, and the exact extent of the injury is still unclear.

Faced with the injuries of the two generals in the midfield, Magath still insisted on his new tactics, using Westerman in the midfielder position, and the other three midfielders were Kobiashvili, Mineiro and Farfan , Mineiro is a veteran who came from Chelsea without a visa. He played for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga. His fellow Scolari brought him from the Bundesliga to the Premier League last season. A mere appearance.

After Scolari got out of class, Mineiro naturally had no reason to stay at Chelsea. Magath spent a small amount of money to do big things, and brought the experienced veteran back to the Bundesliga without a visa.

Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi are naturally partners on the front line.

After the start of the game, Nuremberg was not conservative and aggressive, and seemed to give Schalke 04 some blood, but they did have limited offensive capabilities in the frontcourt, and they have not been able to pose any substantial threat to Neuer.

After 15 minutes, Schalke 04 began to take the initiative, and the full-backs Rafinha and Pender frequently stepped in to provide assists.

It has to be said that Kuranyi did relieve a lot of pressure on Zhang Yuan. In the 36th minute, Farfan made a direct pass, and Kuranyi succeeded in countering offside, forming a single-handedly. However, facing the situation with a small angle, he did not Instead of shooting, he chose a cross pass, and Zhang Yuan stepped in to face the empty goal and easily scored the ball passed by Kuranyi.

Schalke 04 led the home team Nuremberg 1:0. Zhang Yuan scored the first goal of the new season. He pointed to Kuranyi with both hands to thank him for his selfless feeding, because he knows that as a shooter, in the face of a one-handed opponent Passing the ball under the circumstances, this kind of choice is too difficult.

Some media once commented on Zhang Yuandu. The reason is that Zhang Yuan rarely passes the ball when he has a chance to shoot. Even if his teammates are in the best position, he has the experience of not passing the ball. This is the nature of a forward.

However, at this moment today, Kuranyi has been selfless and is good to the team and everyone.

"Kevin, great pass! Thank you!" Zhang Yuan hugged Kuranyi and patted him on the back.

"You also remember to pass the ball to me!" Kuranyi joked half-truthfully. He actually wanted to shoot, but his status was not consolidated. Now he needs some outstanding performances to consolidate his status.

But in the situation just now, if he got in, no one would say anything. If he didn't get in, it would definitely cause everyone's dissatisfaction.

Zhang Yuan's position is so good, why don't you pass it on? !

Kuranyi is still too lonely!

Such words will definitely be widely circulated after the game. The most important thing is that Magath will definitely be upset with him, and passing the ball is just helpless.

Zhang Yuan has the capital to be independent, but he must not be able to be independent now. He must show that he has successfully integrated into Magath's tactical system, not score goals.
