Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 334
Will Gao Jun be as lucky as Zhang Yuan?It is definitely impossible. Magath will not give some people a little privilege like Slomka, and Gao Jun himself is not introduced as a player who comes to fight. Magath is more interested in introducing A fit contender with a lottery scratcher mentality.

Under such circumstances, of course Gao Jun had better get the help of his teammates, not just Zhang Yuan.

After all, Zhang Yuan alone is extremely limited, and xenophobia will exist in every place. In a strong team like Schalke 04, there may be fewer. After all, the composition is not pure. Like Zhang Yuan in Rimini youth team before, then It is quite xenophobic. Fortunately, Zhang Yuan's own strength finally convinced everyone.

On the evening of the 30th, Schalke 04 ushered in Hoffenheim at their home court. Rangnick is an old man of Schalke 04. He had the experience of coaching Schalke 04 before. Good, but as far as this game is concerned, they actually played well, and the chances they got were almost the same as Schalke 04, but the final result was that they still lost the game.

In the 18th minute, Rafinha and Farfan hit the wall in the frontcourt and then made a beautiful oblique pass to the penalty area. Zhang Yuan made a lob shot and scored 1-0.

In the 49th minute, Schalke 04 took a corner kick from the right side. The Hoffenheim defender headed the ball not far away. Zhang Yuan followed up with a strong shot. The ball hit Kuranyi and broke the goal. The score became 2-0.

The second goal was not counted by Zhang Yuan, but by Kuranyi. After the game, Kuranyi expressed his "sorry" to Zhang Yuan.

"Zhang Yuan, thank you so much, you gave me a wonderful assist!"

"Hehe, Kevin, your ability to grasp opportunities is very good, and I would definitely not be able to grasp them!" Zhang Yuan also joked with Kuranyi.

Afterwards, the two hugged each other and left the field. As long as the team can win the game, Zhang Yuan seems to be very magnanimous.

Gao Jun, who was placed in the stands by the club, watched the game, but Schalke 04's game was ugly. The ball possession rate was less than 40%, and there were many fouls, but Hoffenheim still got more than 60% possession rate.

There are very few chances for both sides to shoot. Schalke 04 has only 8 times, and Hoffenheim is only one higher than Schalke 04. A draw may be a reasonable ending.

He didn't know that Schalke 04's current game style is like this. Schalke 04 has never been a team that is good at possession of the ball under Magath. Dominance is normal.

Seeing Zhang Yuan's outstanding performance and wanton celebration on the court, Gao Jun also secretly made up his mind. He is also a Chinese player, he doesn't want to lose face, and his latest goal is to adapt to the team as soon as possible and strive to be able to play in the game.

When the time comes to February, there is another important event in China, the East Asian Cup. This event is not an official game (it is a friendly match), but it is an A-level event.Since it is a friendly match and not within the scope of the national team match day, the club has the right not to let players participate.

This time, the national team made an early request to Schalke 04 to let Zhang Yuan and Gao Jun return to China to compete. The relationship between the clubs is not good.

The result was just as they expected. Magath did not intend to let Zhang Yuan and Gao Jun return to China to compete. He complained to Eshkohn, "There are too many friendly matches for the Chinese national team! Zhang Yuan goes back to participate in every friendly match. To miss at least 5 or 6 league games is simply too deceitful!"

Zhang Yuan and Gao Jun really wanted to contribute to the country, but this time they didn't have a good reason, and Coach Gao also called them respectively, so you have no choice but to stop participating in this competition and put all your energy into the club competition, Gao The coach expressed sympathy for their situation.

As for whether the Football Association is dissatisfied with him, Zhang Yuan has long been indifferent. The Football Association is not Chinese football. He is playing for Chinese football and for the fans, not for the Football Association. Some people in the Football Association were prejudiced against Zhang Yuan. This is a stalk in Zhang Yuan’s heart .

Because Zhang Yuan and Gao Jun usually have to participate in the team's training, neither Zhang Yuan nor Gao Jun can spare much time to handle some of Gao Jun's personal affairs. Zhang Yuan can only use the public equipment for private use, and ask him and Digan's personal assistant Evelyn to help with some Things like renting a house.

Evelyn didn't have any complaints. Although it wasn't Zhang Yuan's business, it was something Zhang Yuan asked for help. As a personal assistant, she could only help out. Besides, Zhang Yuan was a nice person, and he gave her a copy for Christmas. A gift of great value.

After staying in the hotel for a week, Gao Jun finally rented a house near Zhang Yuan’s house. Zhang Yuan’s house was not the house rented by Digan and Zhang Yuan, but a house bought by Evelyn for Zhang Yuan near the rented house. Yuan hasn't moved in yet, and he plans to learn how to drive with Degan before moving.

The three places are not far away, Gao Jun has no relatives here, the only place he can play is the rented house of Zhang Yuan and Digan.

But he also has self-knowledge, Zhang Yuan is only playing football, and at the same time he also has his own studies to take care of, and he doesn't have much time for fun, and Gao Jun doesn't go to Zhang Yuan's place every day.

So this period of time is really difficult for him. Zhang Yuan is not a person who is good at taking care of others. You must know that he has been taken care of by Mai Xuewen for a long time. How could he know how to help Gao Jun adapt to life? It can only be mentioned in some living habits.

On February 2th, Schalke 6 challenged Freiburg in an away game. Freiburg is close to the relegation zone. After the start of the second half of the season, every game is very important to them. A point is also very important. In the first half of the season, Schalke Erke 04 lost three points on Freiburg, and Freiburg still caused Schalke 04 a lot of trouble in this game.

In this game, Magath still used the diamond-shaped formation, and his striker partners were still Kuranyi and Zhang Yuan.

In this game, Freiburg caused trouble for Schalke 04 mainly because of their very active fighting. Schalke 04 under the guidance of Magath is not an advantage. After Rakitic returned, he did not To allow Schalke 04 to fully realize the goal of ball possession, Rakitic's performance was not very good.

Relying on such tactics, Freiburg was evenly divided with Schalke 04 in the midfield. Schalke 04 was particularly unlucky today. First, in the 32nd minute of the first half, Rafinha fell to the ground and Baumjohn The right side easily dunked the defender and then made a cross. Kuranyi's inevitable header in front of the small penalty area was blocked by the right post!

Then just 2 minutes into the second half, Schalke 04 frontcourt Zhang Yuan took a free kick on the right and made a pass. Digan leaned over and rushed to the top. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced off. Freiburg goalkeeper Poplin hurried Hold the ball.The slow motion showed that the ball had actually jumped over the goal line when it bounced off, but the linesman did not indicate that the goal was valid.

In addition to the controversial penalty at the post, Schalke 04 played more impetuously as they went to the back. Both Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi tried long-range shots from the outside, and frequently made forced shots. The effect was obvious until the 87th. Minutes, Schalke 04 still failed to break through the gate of Freiburg.

In the 88th minute, the situation on the field changed. The one who stood up at the critical moment was Zhang Yuan. Schalke 04 got a free kick in the frontcourt. The distance was about 28 meters. Zhang Yuan made a beautiful falling ball and broke through. The gates of Freiburg.

Poplin, who performed well throughout the game, was unable to block the goal again, and Freiburg finally lost the game 0:1.

After the game, Freiburg coach Dutt was very unwilling to lose. He said to the reporters: "It seems that we should not lose this game. Zhang Yuan has been very popular recently. We lost at his feet!"

The reporter reminded him that Schalke 04 still had a goal post in the first half, and even a suspected goal was blown away in the second half.

Dutt retorted: "Goal post?! We also have a chance to score! We are the ones who seized the opportunity to lead! As for the suspected goal you mentioned, I really don't know, I respect the referee's penalty!"

The reporters in the audience could only laugh at it.
