Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 359 The Most Powerful Enemy

During this time, Schalke 04 did not have a holiday, because they were strong opponents one after another. Captain Neuer couldn't stand it after this victory, so he directly suggested to Magath, buddy, what do you say at such an important time? It's not about giving everyone a holiday.

"Holiday?" Magath said while helping his glasses. To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Neuer's advice. Things go against the grain. Sometimes it's not a good thing to make the team too nervous.

"It's a holiday, I'll give you two days to rest, but tomorrow you have to go with me to a place to relax!" Magath laughed.

On March 3th, the players of Schalke 29 came to the training base. Everyone knows that there is no training session today and the holiday will be tomorrow, but today Magath still requires all first-team players to come.

As for where to go, it's a secret.

Everyone was discussing after getting on the bus. Gao Jun asked where Zhang Yuan was going?Have you ever been attacked like this before?
Zhang Yuan shook his head, he couldn't figure out what Magath was doing, but when the bus stopped outside a coal mining company after a nap, Zhang Yuan understood everything.

Fans Day Event!
But not today, Magath just led the Schalke 04 players to experience the taste of the mine.

As early as last year, when he just took over Schalke 04, Magath was interviewed under the mine again. At that time, he threatened to bring the team to feel the feeling. Neuer made a suggestion that day, somehow touched With Magath's nerve, he decided to take the players to experience the life of Schalke 04 fans.

After successively visiting the mines and work areas of coal mining companies, it was not noon before everyone returned to the bus.

Magath gave a speech on the bus.

"Guys, I don't know how you feel, but this visit has touched me a lot. Why I brought you here, I just want to tell you how hard it is for our fans to make money!"

The operating income of Schalke 04 may be different from that of some clubs. Among their sources of income, membership fees and match day income account for a considerable amount.

It is undeniable that with the growth of the younger generation of Neuer, Zhang Yuan, Rakitic, etc., the young players of Schalke 04 are becoming more and more influential, and the team's ability in commercial development is increasing, but the fan base Still a part of them that cannot be ignored, they are nothing without their fans.

"It is even more valuable to use the balls earned in this way to support our games. We are not Wolfsburg. They have money but not many fans. We have no money but we have the most loyal fans in the Bundesliga. Everyone should think It is not easy to think about the support of these fans, we should do something for them, they have waited hard for half a century, they deserve a reward! For them, please continue to work hard!" Magath's speech was very brief, but There are so many things to remember.

Due to personality problems, Zhang Yuan is not the only one who has a bad relationship with Magath in the team, but everyone can feel the special love of the fans from Magath's words at this moment.

This love was so heavy that everyone felt a little out of breath for a moment, and no one spoke on the way back.

Of course, Zhang Yuan also has turmoil in his heart. Of course, he knows the situation of the fans very well. Although there are relatively few fans who actually work as miners, this part of the fans is definitely the most loyal and consistent fan group of Schalke 04. .

Reward them by winning the championship, Zhang Yuan shouted silently in his heart, the next battle of Tianwang Mountain must be won.

After getting off the car, Gao Jun called Zhang Yuan to stop, and invited him to his house for dinner at noon, Zhang Yuan casually asked what is the happy event today?
Gao Jun told him that today is actually his birthday!

Zhang Yuan really didn't know that today was Gao Jun's birthday, so he didn't even buy a gift, he felt very sorry.

"Oh, don't say sorry! In a foreign country, I don't have any friends. I'm just friends with you and Brother Shao. If Brother Shao can't come over, I just want to have dinner with you, even if it's a birthday! I don't What kind of gift is it for you! It’s just a birthday, it’s meaningless to be alone!” Gao Jun said.

After getting into Zhang Yuan’s car and returning to Gao Jun’s rented house, the two of them cooked by themselves. Unlike Zhang Yuan who came to Europe when he was very young, Gao Jun has never been used to the food here, and often They cook for themselves, while Zhang Yuan and Digan basically don't know how to cook for themselves except for breakfast, they eat in the club or outside.

In order to express the atmosphere of the birthday, Zhang Yuan still called to order a birthday cake. Gao Jun wanted to stop him, but Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "It's just the two of us, but there is still an atmosphere!"

After this lunch, Zhang Yuan originally planned to go back to study in the afternoon. After all, he is still studying, and the exam is quite strict.

But thinking about it, it's too impolite to slap your ass and leave, so you simply play with Gao Jun, and everyone plays games and brags together.

Gao Jun asked him if he would not transfer, Zhang Yuan told the truth.

"I'm leaving at the end of the season, but I haven't decided where yet!"

"I heard that Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal all want you? Is it true?" Gao Jun mentioned these clubs with envy and excitement on his face.

"Mr. Ferguson called me. My agent is handling Manchester City. Is there Arsenal? I don't know! You know I don't pay attention to those clubs that are interested in me, usually my agent He will come forward to deal with it, and he will tell me when he has news!" Zhang Yuan shrugged.

Hearing Ferguson, Gao Jun's eyes were full of stars, our brother is a bull, even Ferguson called him.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Gao Jun also understood that Zhang Yuan must be leaving. He didn't have to worry about leaving home, but he still hadn't gained a firm foothold in Schalke 04 yet.

Seeing his disappointment, Zhang Yuan comforted: "Brother Jun, don't worry too much about your prospects in the team, you have strength! Now Magath seems to want to transform you into a defender. You have to practice hard on defense. , the midfielder he likes to use is both offensive and defensive! You're fine!"

"Oh, it's hard to have a fellow countryman like you, but now you are about to leave, and you won't even have a friend in the future! I don't understand German, so life is hard!" Gao Jun said.

"I think you are learning German quite quickly. Go out and walk more. I remember that when I lived alone in Rimini, I would often go shopping outside and communicate with the locals, and then I made rapid progress. How about we go outside to play tonight?" Zhang Yuan laughed.

"Forget it, forget it! It's boring!" Gao Jun shook his head like a rattle.

After having dinner here, Zhang Yuan just returned to his home, and Anna called just after returning home, and they would talk on the phone every day, basically at this time in the time slot.

Anna told him that she would watch the match between Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich this weekend, but Zhang Yuan was not required to pick her up, because Anna would go to Italy first and come with her sister and brother-in-law.

This is good news. I haven't seen Anna for more than a month. Zhang Yuan thinks about it every day. As for whether it is the upper body or the lower body, only he knows.

Rest at home for a day. On March 3, the team resumed normal training. Magath focused on defense drills. There is no way that Bayern Munich is a bug for any team. Who makes their strength really the best? .

Even if they lost the championship last year, it is undeniable that they are the strongest in the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich has only lost 4 games so far. The thought in Magath's heart is that it is actually acceptable to be able to hold a point at home.

Ideologically, he is already at the bottom. Bayern Munich is actually not as terrible as Magath thought. In the new season, they ushered in the new coach Van Gaal. Under his leadership, Bayern Munich has not changed significantly. In the case of three-front warfare, they are always trembling.

In the German Cup, they fought fiercely for 120 minutes before defeating Schalke 04. In the European war, they were almost defeated by Fiorentina in the round of sixteen. In the round of the game, they beat Manchester United 8:2 at home. The victory is a victory, but the score is not very good, giving Manchester United an away goal.

The competitive state in the league is up and down, and the point difference with Schalke 04 has been widened to four points so far. Winning next weekend's battle will not bring Schalke 04 down.

During this period of time, they suffered injuries and the schedule was intensive. The situation was not very good for them. Schalke 04 still had to take the lead.

But Magath is so conservative. Of course, when he is in such a situation, it is normal to be conservative.
