Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 406 Helpless Start
Mourinho chattered with his assistant Mora, and Mora also stepped forward to negotiate with the fourth official at this time. Of course, there was no doubt that he was driven back soon. Mourinho was no longer at this time. Instead of standing on the sidelines, he sat firmly on the coach's bench.

At this time, he still has not lost confidence. He believes that Real Madrid still has a chance.

In the 79th minute, he replaced Arbeloa with Khedira. Arbeloa did not give Zhang Yuan enough support. Of course, this cannot be blamed on him. Few, but today Zhang Yuan is unwilling to follow the routine after playing.

When Khedira came up, Mourinho's formation was still 4231, and the defense was too stretched. There was only one Mateos, but although this young man was older than Zhang Yuan, he had zero experience in the top league.

Mourinho is more willing to believe in experienced players. The current situation is not 3:0, not 4:0. He would rather replace Arbeloa with a defensive midfielder. The other most important reason is Khedira Needless to say, the tacit understanding with Zhang Yuan must be higher.

If some opportunities are missed, they may not appear again in the whole game. For example, Ozil’s fatal pass just now, he began to make obvious adjustments, which made Mallorca’s defensive system go crazy, and took the opportunity to fight. reversed.

Ayoser has learned from experience and will not give Zhang Yuan the chance to turn offside so easily. Even if his starting speed is not as good as Zhang Yuan, at least he will not give Zhang Yuan an easy chance to shoot.

The Real Madrid players were affected by the misjudgment, and they felt a little uncomfortable, while Zhang Yuan was high-spirited, grandma, I will disturb you today.

Mourinho made a new arrangement. The two full-backs stepped in more vigorously. Both Zhang Yuan and Ronaldo leaned towards the center, and the two sides were handed over to the defenders. Khedira's speed was not fast. He inserted The intensity is not so firm, but Marcelo's side is pressed very high.

In response to Mallorca's defensive counterattack, Mourinho chose to believe in the central defenders of Carvalho and Ramos. Ramos is the speed of the central defenders. This is an advantage. Of course, he also has a nerve knife. , This is a bit similar to Pepe, both of them belong to the kind of team that stabs their team nerves from time to time, making you want to cry without tears.

Otherwise, Mourinho would not desperately want Carvalho to come over.

After Khedira came on the field, he didn't get in much, but the connection between him and Zhang Yuan has been strengthened, and he will get in when he has the opportunity. His main role is not to pass the ball, and his accuracy is not high in the bottom pass. , he is mainly to attract the defense to reduce the pressure on Zhang Yuan.

Mallorca didn't know this. In the 84th minute, Khedira received Las Diarra's side kick and passed it to Zhang Yuan. He himself ran to the baseline, and Zhang Yuan made a pick pass. Feint, horizontally, dodge a shooting angle, fake shot with left foot, real buckle.

Lu Wen was fooled, and Zhang Yuan jumped out from the gap between Lu Wen and Marty, ran towards the baseline, and swept across the goal. Ronaldo at the far end was still half a beat behind, and the ball went out of the baseline.

Everyone did not expect that Zhang Yuan would pass the ball in such a way. Higuain was not in place at all, only Ronaldo was sprinting, but Zhang Yuan seemed to pass the ball and shoot it. It was actually difficult for the teammate in front of the goal to hit the goal.

On the contrary, the player who clears the siege should be very careful, or it may be an own goal.

Zhang Yuan shook his head. Now he has no tacit understanding with Higuain and Ronaldo on the front line. With the arrival of the German team, several players in the local team have a good impression of Zhang Yuan, and he can gradually get some support. It's not as isolated as it was at the beginning, but it's far from enough, and it needs games to run in.

This was a good chance to score, but after missing this opportunity, Real Madrid fell into a state of restlessness, forcing shots everywhere, and Mallorca got some chances to counterattack. They fouled a lot today, but Real Madrid is not a vegetarian. Interceptions by Diarra and Alonso, fouls at various locations, prevented Mallorca's dream of a sneak attack.

Laudrup had no choice but to face such a situation. Mourinho was a bit disappointed. The team had chances. There were not many chances in the first half, but in the second half Real Madrid had two or three excellent chances. The strikers didn't take it.

He made all the substitutions he should make, and finally ushered in a 0:0 start, which is really a very unsatisfactory start.

Zhang Yuan was interviewed by reporters when he was leaving the field. Among the reporters, he saw Zhang Wei. This is his old friend from the Bundesliga. He actually came to Spain? !Zhang Yuan really didn't know, and Zhang Wei never told Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan first exchanged greetings with this old friend of the Chinese reporter before accepting the interview.

"Zhang, are you satisfied with your performance today? What do you think of the team's performance today?"

"I think I performed well today, and our team also performed well!"

"But you failed to win this game?!"

"This is not the result we want, but sometimes you have to accept it! We performed well!" Zhang Yuan repeatedly emphasized that there is nothing wrong with the team's performance. He originally thought that the team performed well today, but it was almost luck , There is also a misjudgment by the referee.

"You scored a goal today, but it was called offside, do you think it was an offside goal?!"

"I'm sure it's not an offside ball, but it's meaningless to say it now! I also respect the referee's penalty!" Zhang Yuan learned how to be good, he didn't insist on the referee's problem, so he came to La Liga to talk less about the referee's problem. Well, don't hurt yourself too much in the future.

Mourinho was obviously not as polite as Zhang Yuan. At the press conference after the game, he said that today's referee was terrible and Real Madrid shouldn't have scored only one point.

He expressed that he is very satisfied with his players. Everyone performed well on the court today. Of course, he did not specifically praise anyone. Several new players basically showed up today, and he kept saying he was satisfied.

On the plane back to Madrid, everyone was in a bad mood, especially Mourinho, but he still praised everyone's performance today. At this time, the team needs more encouragement than scolding.

A helpless start, in another game tonight, Barcelona beat Racing Santander 3-0, and Real Madrid fell behind Barcelona by 2 points at the start.

Losing points on such a weak team is fatal to Real Madrid from a certain point of view. Barcelona's strength is suffocating. It is really difficult for them to lose a game. Mourinho warned Don't pay attention to others. You should play game by game and focus on yourself. No matter how strong a team is, there will always be times when mistakes are made. Today is us, but tomorrow it may be someone else. We hold our own Destiny can.

After this game is the national team match day. Real Madrid has many international players. Zhang Yuan has also been called up by the Chinese national team. He will participate in two friendly matches, one against Iran and one against Uruguay.

Back in China, Zhang Yuan met Gao Jun. He and Gao Jun only had occasional phone calls during the summer transfer period, and they hadn't met in person yet.

In the evening Gao Jun chatted with Zhang Yuan for a long time, mainly asking how Zhang Yuan was doing in Spain. Zhang Yuan was also concerned about the situation of Schalke 04. He also had less contact with Hoffman, and he rarely paid attention to Schalke. The case of gram 04.

In the summer, Schalke 04 made a lot of noise in the transfer market. They introduced Japanese player Atsuto Uchida, who is Gao Jun's direct competitor. There is no sign of Magath yet, but the pressure on Gao Jun is doubling. No way, Gao Jun himself was born as a midfielder. Schalke 04 was forced to change to a defender. Rafinha made a lightning transfer to Serie A before the end of the transfer period. He and Atsuto Uchida are also right backs main competitor.

Generally speaking, he does not have an advantage. After all, the adaptability of Japanese players is better than that of Chinese players. Gao Jun is not superior in all aspects. Zhang Yuan is gone, and there is no ready-made person to help him. German is poor and life is difficult.

But Gao Jun has repeatedly stated that he will not retreat now, and must make a name for himself in Schalke 04.

Zhang Yuan felt that his idea was correct. Now that he had taken the step of studying abroad, at least he had to hang around for two years before going back to China.

Gao Jun also clamored for Zhang Yuan to treat him. Of course, Zhang Yuan had no reason to refuse. He made a fortune by going to Real Madrid this time. Taking advantage of the gap between training sessions, Zhang Yuan happily invited the whole team to have a big meal outside. , this opinion was not raised by Zhang Yuan, but Gao Jun's suggestion.
