Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 280 The Teacher Arrives
After scoring this goal, Magath still directed the whole team to continue to strengthen the offense. Facing the underdog Nuremberg, he was not polite at all. He just planned to find a new formation on them, because Nuremberg's defense has always been Not bad.

Oning's side resolutely played a defensive counterattack tactic. The two full-backs of Schalke 04 were particularly powerful, leaving a relatively large gap on the wings.

Nuremberg had several chances to counterattack, but their forward speed was a bit slow. Charisteas, who was at the top, was not good at speed, he was a pillar center forward.

So these few opportunities were wasted by themselves, and Ao Ning could only stand on the sidelines and stare blankly.

At the end of the first half, the score is still 1:0, Schalke 04 is leading, Magath has seen the problem in the first half, Schalke 04 needs to be carefully considered in terms of defensive replacement.

After the start of the second half of the game, the two sides still continued the tactics of the first half, and Schalke 04 still took the initiative.

In the 54th minute, Magath made a substitution, allowing Levan Knia to replace Mineiro.

Konia is a young player promoted from the second team. He is the same age as Zhang Yuan and is from Georgia. He is relatively thin and good at making breakthroughs.

In the first round of the German Cup, he scored a goal and showed a good state, and he was successfully kept in the first team by Magath.

Just 1 minute into the game, Knia and Rafinha made a wonderful cooperation. Knia received a pass from Farfan and passed back to Rafinha. Rafinha did not stop. The ball was passed to Knia, who continued to advance, and Knia crossed the middle near the baseline. Kuranyi took advantage of the situation and tricked Wolfe. Zhang Yuan got rid of Maro, pushed forward, and penetrated again through the gate guarded by Schaefer.

This attack was simple and beautiful, which was exactly what Magath expected. Knia also surprised him. Zhang Yuan's goal was really normal.

Magath also saw that with the addition of Kuranyi, Zhang Yuan’s running position in the frontcourt suffered much less resistance. Both goals were scored in sports games, and Zhang Yuan showed excellent running ability. This is very good, and it has lived up to his purpose of changing the two forwards.

As soon as the goal was scored, Magath began to adjust his tactics, adjusting the diamond-shaped midfield position to a parallel position, letting Zhang Yuan take up the task of connecting the midfielders, and the two sides of the midfield were called Farfan and Knia.Westman and Kobyashvili sit in the center.

The parallel position is more inclined to balance offense and defense. With the advantage of two goals, Magath did not expect the victory to slip away again.

His worries are unfounded. Ao Ning is not letting his team attack without limit. It is not unacceptable to lose against a strong team like Schalke 04, but it is best not to lose in front of the home crowd. It was too miserable, because this was the first game of the new season, and the loss was too miserable, which would deal a considerable blow to the team's morale.

The games after that can be regarded as you come and go, and Zhang Yuan played even better in the position of No. 9 and a half. He created 2 or 3 opportunities for Kuranyi. It is not particularly good, but it is not bad. It is a pity. Kuranyi is still continuing his nightmare of not scoring in the league, always a little bit short.

In the 88th minute, Nuremberg pulled back a goal. Charisteas dribbled the ball and hit the goal forcibly under Degan's close marking, but was blocked by Neuer with his thigh. Mintal followed up from the front of the penalty area and broke through the sand Erke 04 gate.

This goal saved them a bit of face, but they were unable to recover. In the first home game of the new season, they finally lost 1:2 to Schalke 04.
Magath was not very satisfied with the result. After the match, Schalke 04's midfielder was still a little distracted, and Kuranyi still failed to seize the opportunity to score a goal on the front line to seal the victory. .

Zhang Yuan, who scored twice, was undoubtedly the best player in the game. After the game, he attended the post-match press conference together with Magath.

"Mr. Magath, in the first game of the new season, Schalke 04 got off to a good start. Are you satisfied with the result?"

"It's great that we got the three points, a good start is important for the whole season."

"How do you evaluate Zhang Yuan's performance in this game?"

"He is a very good player. He made a positive contribution to the team's victory in this game. I am very satisfied with him!" Magath said with a smile. He was indeed satisfied with Zhang Yuan. In the middle of the game, he even considered changing the midfield to a parallel position, so that Zhang Yuan's power might be brought into full play.

"Zhang, are you satisfied with the result of this competition? How do you comment on your performance?"

"Nuremberg is a very strong team, I am very happy that the team can take all three points! I am satisfied with my own performance, very happy to score 2 goals in the first game of the new season, of course The most important thing is that the team won! However, on the premise that the team wins, I am willing to participate in the competition for the top scorer of the season, and I hope to get a small steel cannon!" Zhang Yuan released a bold statement.

Judging from the odds at the beginning of the season, Zhang Yuan's odds of winning the top scorer of the season are actually quite high, currently ranking first.

On the scorer list last season, two players from Wolfsburg, Grafite and Dzeko, were the top two scorers. No.3 was Stuttgart's Gomez, and the fourth was only the top scorer. It was Zhang Yuan of Schalke 04, who scored 23 goals.

However, this season, due to Magath's entry into Schalke 04, Zhang Yuan was favored, because Grafit and Dzeko's performance in the previous season was not eye-catching, but under the guidance of Magath, they just won. The top two scorers.

Therefore, gaming companies have been optimistic about Zhang Yuan from the beginning of the season, and many companies have listed him as the most powerful contender for the top scorer.

The next day, the major media began to write that Zhang Yuan began to make it clear that the battle for shooters started from the first round, and two goals were the most powerful voice.

Surprisingly, there is no media to make sarcastic comments. Zhang Yuan's scoring efficiency has proved that he is a reliable shooter, and the premise of all this is that Schalke 04 has actually always been a defensive team.

Magath's Wolfsburg scored more than 80 goals last season. Coming to Schalke 04 this season is bound to improve Schalke 04's offense. Zhang Yuan is one of the beneficiaries. He will get more shots.

On the contrary, some domestic media commented that this Zhang Yuan is too arrogant, without our Chinese fine tradition - humility.

However, these voices are weak, and countless fans of Zhang Yuan agree with Zhang Yuan’s statement. Nana’s, there is finally a player who can speak out in China. Whether it is at home or abroad, Chinese players have always been afraid. Clearly stated his own thoughts, but Zhang Yuan was obviously not like this, and everyone appreciated his bold gesture.

Not to mention these gossips, on August 8th, Schalke 16 will welcome the Bochum team from the Ruhr area at home in the second round. For this game, Zhang Yuan specially invited his teacher, Mr. Xie's family and his friend Gu Lin Come to watch the game.

After the match against Nuremberg, on August 8th, Zhang Yuan specially asked for a day off and called Mai Xuewen to pick him up in Frankfurt. Except for today, Zhang Yuan will train at other times. Mai Xuewen can do it for me.

Originally last year when Zhang Yuan returned home, he arranged for Mr. Xie’s family to watch the game, but because Mr. Xie had to go to work, and his wife’s obstruction, he couldn’t make the trip. But this time the summer vacation has not yet passed. I also talked about my wife, and I have this trip to Germany.

Gu Lin, on the other hand, Zhang Yuan had planned to invite him over for a long time, and this time he happened to bring Mr. Xie with him.

It is natural for everyone to meet and greet each other. Teacher Xie has also seen the premiere of the national team. No matter how great Zhang Yuan’s achievements abroad are, in Teacher Xie’s heart, it is actually going out for the country that makes him the most proud of Zhang Yuan. The place.

"Zhang Yuan, you insist on winning. From now on, play well in the national team and drive away all the bullshit Korean-phobia, Japan-phobia, and Islamophobia. Chinese football depends on you!" Teacher Xie exclaimed excitedly.

"Mr. Xie, you see me too fiercely! I will work hard!" Zhang Yuan laughed.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan accompanied them to dinner and chatted for a long time, from life and football abroad to domestic football, and then some important events in the world football today.

Teacher Xie is a real fan. He is a Manchester United fan, but he also knows a lot about other leagues. Gu Lin likes football as a team. He is not successful in playing football. He is still very qualified to be a fan. The three of them chatted very happily.

As for the teacher's wife, she lacks interest in football and only knows two players, one is Beckham and the other is Zhang Yuan.
