Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 350
Muller started to play for Bayern Munich when he was more than 19 years old. He played 26 times in the first season, but scored 33 goals, and then he has been writing his own mythology. He created a series of records , so far no one has broken it.

There are always disputes between Pele and Maradona in the world, but many people have not fought for Gerd Muller. In Zhang Yuan’s opinion, Muller will definitely not be worse than these two, and it can even be said that he is better than the two. They return cattle.

Gerd Müller is absolutely attributable to Bayern Munich today, otherwise Beckenbauer would not have said, "Without him, what we are sitting here might be nothing!".

Zhang Yuan was really excited to be appreciated by Gerd Müller, and he quickly responded.

"I am very proud to be praised by Mr. Muller! He is one of the greatest players in football history, and he has also created a series of records that no one has ever broken! As for whether he can catch up with the records created by Mr. Muller , I don’t know, but I will try my best!”

After this incident, the media said that Zhang Yuan is Gerd Muller’s successor. Isn’t this nonsense? Zhang Yuan is Chinese, so how could he be the next Messi or Muller’s successor.

But people like to write like that, Zhang Yuan can only go with them, anyway, just get used to it!

Except for the praise from the outside world that Muller can affect Zhang Yuan's mentality, Zhang Yuan is not moved at all.

In the standings, Bayern Munich is still neck and neck with Schalke 04. The two teams have a tie of 56. There are 8 rounds left in the league. The championship is very fierce. Leverkusen also has the opportunity. He is three points behind Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich. As for Werder Bremen behind him, he is already 11 points away from the top spot. If there is no miracle, he will definitely not be able to catch up.

On the afternoon of March 3, Schalke 21 challenged Hamburg away.Hamburg is fighting on the third front this season. They have reached the top 04 in the Europa League. Just before this game, on March 8, they just went to Belgium to play the second round of 3-18. They lost to Anderlecht 16-8 in that game, but advanced to the top 3 with a total score advantage.

In terms of physical fitness, there is no doubt that Schalke 04 has the advantage. Magath continued the formation of the previous game in this game, the 442 diamond position. Degan and Farfan returned from injury and returned to the starting lineup. Kittic returned to the midfield, and Farfan still played in the midfielder position.

At the beginning of the first half, the Hamburg team was not affected by the Europa League match in the middle of the week, and they still played vigorously.

The two sides played very openly, the defense brought the championship, and the offense brought victory. Schalke 04 is now in urgent need of victory. In addition, Magath believes that the Hamburg team has played in the Europa League. Physically, it is not as good as Schalke 04. There is a gap between them, and he just wants to use a strong attack to directly crush Hamburg.

But the Hamburg team was not to be outdone, so the two sides became like this, playing offensive football.

Both strikers got a lot of chances, and then Zhang Yuan was depressed. I don’t know if the praise from the media during this period of time praised his character. In the first half, he hit the goal post twice, and his luck was unlucky. get home.

The first time was only 4 minutes into the game, when Zhang Yuan received a pass from Farfan, passed Yarolim, and shot the goal low, but the ball was pounced by Rost, hit the far post and slipped out of the baseline.

The second time was in the 30th minute. Kuranyi headed the goal and was saved by Rost. Zhang Yuan followed up with a supplementary shot. Under the block of Mattison, he lost his center of gravity and hit the post again.

Zhang Yuan is going crazy, and Magath on the sidelines is also crazy. He understands that Zhang Yuan's luck is a bit unlucky today, otherwise Schalke 04 would have already led by two goals, and he is fully confident that he can hold on Such an advantage.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li once said to Gou Jian, king of Yue, "God will take the blame instead of taking it"!
It means that if you don't seize the opportunity that comes to your door, you will suffer instead.

In the first half, Schalke 04 vividly interpreted the meaning of this sentence. They missed the opportunity repeatedly and conceded the ball in the 40th minute. Trohovski took a free kick with his right foot 22 meters to the left of the center. After the ball crossed the wall, it fell rapidly. Although the angle was right, Neuer could barely hit the ball with both fists. Ruud van Nistelrooy volleyed the ball with his right foot from 8 meters away, and the ball was caught by Neuer. After a pounce, he still flew into the left side of the goal, 1 to 0.

With this goal, the Hamburg team led Schalke 04 at home in the first half. Zhang Yuan was unhappy when he left the field in the first half. Rakitic comforted him that he would not be so unlucky in the second half. Zhang Yuan forced a smile, who he You know, he has a hunch that he may not be able to score today.

During the half-time break, Magath asked everyone to attack more aggressively in the second half. When the time was only halfway through, he couldn't wait to ask the players to work hard. There was no way for him to calm down at this stage.

Originally, according to Magath's idea, the Hamburg team was at a disadvantage physically and had already advanced by one goal. They might be relatively conservative in the second half.

Magath secretly rejoiced, just in line with loneliness!In the first half, it was because everyone played openly that the forwards got more chances. Zhang Yuan wasted and Kuranyi wasted, but in the second half Magath didn't believe that his pawns were still so unlucky.

Sure enough, in the 62nd minute, Zhang Yuan pulled the ball to the left, and Rozenal made a header from the center of the penalty area and hit the back post. Kuranyi headed the goal 3 meters ahead of Rost, who flew to save him. ,1 to 1.

Schalke 04 equalized the score. Although Zhang Yuan did not score the goal, he was credited with the pass. Even Kuranyi ran to Zhang Yuan after scoring the goal and gave him a big hug.

This is not over yet, just 5 minutes later, Schalke 04 took a free kick in the front court and was cleared by the Hamburg team. Zhang Yuan retreated to the outside to get the ball and broke into the right side of the penalty area. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who actively returned to defense, Stretching his foot behind him tripped Zhang Yuan, the referee gave Schalke 04 a penalty.

Zhang Yuan's chance to score has come. According to the normal ranking, Zhang Yuan is also the first penalty shooter. This penalty is very important. On the one hand, this is an excellent opportunity to overtake the score. On the other hand, Zhang Yuan also hopes to continue to score goals .

The referee blew the whistle, Zhang Yuan ran up, shot, hit the middle, and the momentum was heavy, Rost misjudged the direction, and the ball went in!
But the referee blew off the goal, and he signaled the Schalke 04 players to run into the penalty area first.

Things took a long time, and Zhang Yuan had to stand on the penalty spot again and continue to take the penalty. At this time, Zhang Yuan's mentality was a little unstable, and he was worried about gains and losses.

However, there is no problem with his technical movements. He shoots, sticks to the ball, and is still in the middle. But this time, although Roster still guessed the wrong direction, his feet blocked the ball. Zhang Yuan reacted very quickly and immediately followed up with a header. , Headed the ball into the empty goal.

This time it finally worked, and Zhang Yuan felt lingering fears. What was going on? The penalty missed. If Rost hadn't judged the wrong direction, he wouldn't even have a chance to make up the shot.

In any case, he finally scored a goal, and Schalke 04 also achieved a go-ahead, with 9 consecutive games, and his personal record is still continuing.

Schalke 04 achieved the overtake and successfully completed the task of Magath. Magath began to be conservative at this time, removed the front midfielder, played a parallel position, and replaced Lackey with Baumjohn. Titch.

As one subsides and another rises, the offense of the Hamburg team is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no sign of any problem with their physical fitness. In the 77th minute, Petrić hit Hewedes with a long shot and fell into the left side of the penalty area. Rohovski quickly stepped in to face Westermann with a breakthrough cross. Neuer and Degan failed to clear the siege. In the second half, Pitroipa, who had just been replaced not long ago, hit an empty goal 3 meters away. 2 to 2.

Magath is really dumbfounded. Sometimes being too conservative is not necessarily a good thing, but the so-called champion coaches are especially conservative. Standing in their position, they already know that stability is the first. It is a pity that Magath paid for his conservativeness today. paid the price.

He immediately made another substitution adjustment, replacing Westerman with Edu, removing a defender and replacing him with a forward, which is basically equivalent to playing four forwards.

But it was of no avail. After the score was equalized, Labbadia saw that Schalke 04 was going to make a strong attack, and he also played a defensive counterattack in a timely manner. In the end, no one gave the opponent much more chances, and the 2:2 could only be maintained. to the finale.

Schalke 04 was not very lucky in this game, but they also reached the top of the standings, because Bayern Munich lost to Frankfurt in the away game, so Schalke 04 surpassed Bayern Munich by one point and took the top spot.
