Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 303
Regarding the negotiation of Degan, Raiola and Mr. Wright went very smoothly, and the two sides quickly completed the transfer of power, and Degan officially became a player under Raiola's banner.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Magath!" Raiola saw Magath for the first time.

If Magath is the head coach, maybe Raiola doesn't need to deal with him, but Magath is still the general manager of Schalke 04, so he must meet.

After Zhang Yuan renewed his contract, this is the first time Raiola has come to Gelsenkirchen.

"Hello! Mr. Raiola!" Magath didn't like the agent in front of him, nor was he afraid of such an agent. He was always a strong person.

"Are you talking about Zhang Yuan with me?!" Magath said coldly, he is full of anger at Zhang Yuan now, why did he pass the word to his agent so quickly, and Raiola so quickly Just showed up, do you want to stand up for Zhang Yuan? !Nothing to talk about!

"Zhang Yuan?! What's the matter with him?!" Raiola pretended to be surprised.

"Uh, it's nothing...it's nothing!" It turned out that Zhang Yuan didn't communicate with his agent, and Magath was relieved. He hated the agent interfering with the team's work, and the agent in front of him happened to be that A player who likes to brag about himself and interfere with the team's head coach.

"I thought you came to ask about Zhang Yuan's situation, don't you care about everything about him in the team?!" Magath said.

"Of course I am concerned, but I usually contact him often to know his situation! I am not here today for his business, I am here to let you know that I have become Digan's manager now, if there is anything in the future , please contact me!" Raiola said relaxedly.

Magath is a little irritable. If he is the head coach, he doesn't have to be so irritable. Just to block the team.

This guy stretches his arms too far!But Magath had to keep smiling and said: "Congratulations! Digan is a player with great potential, and you have a good eye!"

This is something Magath still has to admire. Since taking office this season, Magath, through his own observation and use, found that Degan is very good at the central defender, and he is the most trustworthy among several central defenders.

Degan is not too young, he is already 24 years old, he wasted time before, but in the past two years he has been on the right track and has made rapid progress. Once a young player like Degan who has suffered setbacks has a chance , plus enough talent will surely succeed.

Raiola is indeed a good eye.

"Thank you for your compliment, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!"

"I hope so too!" Magath said with a smile, as to whether it will be difficult to say.

On October 10, in the third round of the German Cup, Schalke 28 challenged Munich 04 in an away game. Munich 1860 is also the club that Shao Jia played for before. They are poor and the strength of the team can be imagined.

In the end, relying on the goals of Kuranyi and Farfan, Schalke 04 won the opponent 3:0 and easily advanced to the next round.

Zhang Yuan did not play this game, but sat on the bench for 90 minutes. On the one hand, Magath wanted to let him have a rest, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test what would happen to the team without Zhang Yuan.

On October 10, Schalke 31 ushered in their rival Bayer Leverkusen at home, and the situation between the two sides need not be repeated.

Zhang Yuan returned to the starting lineup, but in the case of strictly adhering to Magath's tactical requirements, his performance was not ideal.

The teams encountered in Schalke 04 this season were not very strong. At that time, the midfield disadvantage shown by Schalke 04 was not obvious.

But now that he has encountered strong opponents one after another, the midfield disadvantage has become prominent, and Magath firmly believes in his arrangements.

Without the support of the midfield, it is obviously not feasible to blindly try to tear apart the opponent's defense line through cooperation without breaking through after getting the ball in the frontcourt.

Schalke 04 was still at a disadvantage throughout the game. They could only use fouls to stop their opponents. Their fouls were as high as 28 times throughout the game, and 3 of them got yellow cards.

In the end, Schalke 04 drew Leverkusen 2:2 tenaciously at their own home court. If Sanchez, who came off the bench, hadn't made a brave return, Schalke 04 would have swallowed a loss. .

Two consecutive draws is not a crisis for Schalke 04, because first of all, these two opponents are direct competitors, and it is not unacceptable to score one point, so the outside media has nothing to crusade against Magath, but some football Commentators think that this Schalke 04 is actually very bad.

After all, it was Magath's fate. In the 11 rounds, Schalke 04 was walking on thin ice except for the first few games. He Magath just walked through it.

After the next big game against Bayern Munich, Schalke 04 will usher in a respite, and it will not be so hard.

Encountering Bayern Munich is a topic. Speaking of which, the leaker of this topic is Mino Raiola, who pretends to be confused with Magath on his front heel, and he is not clear about the contradiction between the two parties.

Immediately broke the news with the media on the back foot, in fact, Bayern Munich had pursued Zhang Yuan in the summer.

"Zhang Yuan is an incredible player. His height in the future will definitely be No.1 in the world. He will become the best striker in the world! There are many clubs chasing him. The biggest club in the Bundesliga has sent invitations to him this summer, but Zhang Yuan Yuan has always loved the Schalke 04 fans and he doesn't want to leave!"

The biggest club in the Bundesliga?That can only be Bayern Munich.Oh, oh, Xia Tian's rumors are true, many media believe that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and now Zhang Yuan's agent has confirmed this matter.

It made Magath very disgusted. Raiola said at this time that the devil didn't know what he was thinking. This is a warning to change direction. You can't use Zhang Yuan well, okay!He has a great seller presence!
Of course, it also brought troubles to Zhang Yuan. Many reporters wanted to hear what Zhang Yuan had to say.

"I don't know what happened! They are the most successful club in the history of the Bundesliga, I am very happy to be appreciated by them, but I love Schalke 04, I like to hear Schalke 04 fans cheering for me! I I am living a very good life here now, and I have no plans to leave for the time being!" Zhang Yuan replied like this.

There are many things revealed in the words, not only expressing gratitude to Bayern Munich, but also expressing nostalgia for Schalke 04, and not sure that I will stay in the future!

This is enough for the media to make up stories. When Magath knew that Zhang Yuan was being interviewed, he answered the reporter with a gloomy face.

So in the away game against Bayern Munich on November 11, Zhang Yuan was sent to the bench without any reason or notice.

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, and accepted the fate of being a substitute. He knew that this must be Magath's punishment for changing direction.

The situation of Bayern Munich is very bad. The arrival of Van Gaal did not immediately save Bayern Munich. On the contrary, from the current point of view, he continues to fall.

In the summer transfer market, Bayern Munich spent more than 7000 million euros and introduced Olic, Robben, Gomez, Tymoshchuk and other stars, but their results were not satisfactory.

In the last ten games, they have 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. This is obviously not a normal performance.

The state of Schalke 04 undoubtedly looks much better, but at the Allianz Arena, Schalke 04 was once again habitually controlled by Bayern Munich.

The biggest problem for Bayern Munich this season is that they can control the situation, but there are not many ways to break the deadlock. Their goals this season are only 17, which is less than Schalke 04.

There were almost no mistakes in the defense led by Degan, and Bayern Munich didn't even have many chances to shoot.

The deadlock was broken in the 31st minute.Thomas Muller was brought down by Sanchez after stealing the ball from the right side of the front field, and the latter was shown a yellow card by the referee.Budstuber's left-footed free kick went into the penalty area, Klose's header bounced off Kuranyi, and Van Buyten scored an empty goal from close range, 1-0!Bayern took the lead with a set-piece chance.

But not long after, in the 42nd minute, Schalke 04's Schmitz dropped a free kick from the left side of the frontcourt into the penalty area. The teenager Matip, who played for the first time in the Bundesliga, scored the ball with a header in the penalty area. Net, 1 to 1!Schalke 04 also took advantage of set-piece opportunities to equalize the score.

These two goals are the whole of this game. Zhang Yuan came on the field in the 78th minute to replace Kuranyi, one of the three forwards. Magath planned to use him to counterattack, but Bayern Munich did not give Zhang Yuan anything. Chance.

Zhang Yuan, who played mediocre, can be described in this way. At the end of the game, Van Gaal was not reconciled to the fate of a draw but he had no choice but to do it. Magath was very satisfied that his team scored another point.

Three games and three rounds of strong opponents. Although Schalke 04 is not good-looking on the scene, it still has three points after all.
