Chapter 105 China-Japan Derby (please subscribe!)
Although the away draw temporarily slowed down Waiters' pursuit of Feyenoord and Eindhoven, and after the end of this round, the points were overtaken by Ajax behind him, temporarily falling out of the top three, but the media supporting Waiters was extremely jubilant.

Arnhem's most well-known media "Kicker" praised Wen Zhihao's all-round performance in the defender position, and declared that Wen Zhihao is the only player in the current Eredivisie that can have superstar performances in both penalty areas.

Waiters fans are even more excited.Who would have thought that Wen Zhihao, who joined on loan at the beginning, could continue to create surprises and bloom such dazzling stars.

The local media in Arnhem commented that the joining of Wen Zhihao is "the most successful signing of Waiters since the 21st century".

However, the fans of the home team did not buy it. They thought it was not an exaggeration to call Wen Zhihao the most successful signing in the history of the Waiters team.He has only been in the team for more than half a year, and not only has he brought about a rapid improvement in performance, but Waiters, who has Wen Zhihao, has gradually acquired the temperament of a strong team.At least the fans no longer have to worry when the team falls behind. They have enough confidence that the team may recover at any time.

Wen Zhihao performed brilliantly in his new position, and some domestic football experts specifically compared him with the national team captain Zheng Zhi.Zheng Zhi is considered to be the jack-of-all-trades player with the best overall quality among active Chinese players. In his career, except for the goalkeeper, he has played almost all positions on the pitch.Now Wen Zhihao has shown his potential as an all-rounder, and it just so happens that he and Zheng Zhi belong to two generations.Such a horizontal comparison will be more interesting.

In fact, the media and fans have long been tacit understanding.Once Zheng Zhi leaves, Wen Zhihao will be the leader of Chinese football in the future.

……

Waiters recently faced a week of double matches in a row, which is basically the rhythm of the league and the Europa League.Just after the league ended, the team returned to Arnhem immediately the next day. After making some adjustments, they will play in the third round of the Europa League in the middle of the week and face the Bundesliga team Mainz at home.

For Waiters, this game is crucial.In the first round of the group stage, Waiters has a favorable schedule with two hosts and one away, which also means that the second round will be one home and two away.For Waiters, who is aiming to grab points at home, this is a crucial battle that cannot be missed.

For Fraser, it is necessary to solve the integration problem of the youth team teenager Higg and the team, so that he cannot be dissociated from the team's tactical system and only care about doing it alone.

During these few days of training, Wen Zhihao reminded Higg a lot, even a few times because of this guy's own way, Wen Zhihao rarely got angry, and educated this new kid: "Larry, don't you know that football is an eleven-man sport? You also play like this in the youth team?"

Higgs was speechless for a moment.In fact, I don't blame him, even though he is a defender, but his status in the youth team is similar to the core of the team, so he can play whatever he wants on the field.In addition, the youth team's children's games are generally relatively open, unlike the first team's high tactical requirements.Now he is suddenly asked to restrain his personality and be willing to be a green leaf for the overall benefit of the team. It is normal for him to be unable to accept it for a while.

But the team did not have so much time for him to adapt slowly. Seeing that the third round of the group stage was getting closer and closer, the opponent Mainz also arrived in the Netherlands the first morning.The game has officially entered the countdown.

It is worth mentioning that this game has attracted great attention from the media of two East Asian countries, China and Japan. Waiters has Wen Zhihao in the team, and Japan's newly promoted international player Yoshiki Muto is likely to represent Mainz.

The media of the two countries paid close attention to this potential alternative Sino-Japanese derby, and the war of words before the match was in full swing.Due to the deep ties and grievances between the two countries in various aspects, every confrontation at various levels has a strong smell of gunpowder.

The Japanese media are full of confidence. They claim that Yoshiki Muto is playing in the Bundesliga of the five major leagues. Vitesse, whose level and strength can beat the Eredivisie, will not crush Wen Zhihao, who is six years younger.

The counterattack momentum of the Chinese media was not weak at all, and they directly showed the highlights of Wen Zhihao's goals in the Eredivisie. Among them, the wonderful volley shot against Manchester United was specially processed and then rolled out.

And Wen Zhihao's pre-match press conference made the Japanese reporter so angry that he wanted to provoke Wen Zhihao, but Wen Zhihao directly replied: "Who is he? Sorry, I have never heard of it. In our home court, a team as strong as Manchester United failed to take away the victory. The same goes for other teams. They come in standing and go out kneeling!"

The Chinese reporters present felt relieved, but the Japanese media were very angry.In their concept, kneeling represents the absolute surrender of the weak to the strong.

snort!Arrogant Chinese!Almost all Japanese media looked at Wen Zhihao with hostility.

But Wen Zhihao didn't take it to heart at all, he never had a good impression of this country, and on the court, he only believed in disobedience.

On the day of the game, more than 4 spectators flooded into the Guerredo May Stadium again, and the protagonist of the giant TIFO in the stands was still Wen Zhihao, who was wearing a crown and opened his arms to celebrate the goal.Ever since Wen Zhihao's fan friend Grelar proposed this idea, such a scene will appear at every home court.

Fraser fully drew on the experience of the previous game. In the starting lineup of this game, Wen Zhihao and Nakamba appeared on the same side. Nakamba was responsible for the frontcourt attack, and Wen Zhihao was the right back.

On the other side, Yoshiki Muto's head coach Martin Schmidt arranged to appear as one of the double forwards. Although he and Wen Zhihao were not directly facing each other, the two soon had their first confrontation.

In the opening 7 minutes, Mainz made a pass from the midfielder. Yoshiki Muto moved very stealthily and made a small circle on purpose. He came in front of the central defender Van der Werf and strode into the penalty area. The central defender Kruswijk on the other side was involved and had no time to defend.

There was a lot of boos at the scene, Yoshiki Muto was excited for a while, but he didn't notice that a figure had already crossed from the side.He just took a step with the ball, the ball just hit a leg protruding from the side, the speed of the ball slowed down instantly, and the goalkeeper Ruhm quickly attacked and confiscated the ball.

The fans at the scene exclaimed in unison, and then gave warm applause to Wen Zhihao's defense.

"Beautiful! In the first match between Wen Zhihao and Muto Yoshiki in this game, Wen Zhihao showed extraordinary awareness. This defense should make Muto Yoshiki know Wen Zhihao again."

He Wei said in the live broadcast that he has full confidence in Wen Zhihao.

The one-knife ball in front of him was destroyed, Yoshiki Muto looked at Wen Zhihao who got up from the ground, his face was full of dissatisfaction, he felt that this time Wen Zhihao was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

But Wen Zhihao liked his performance.I just like to see you gnashing your teeth but helpless!

After getting up, Wen Zhihao stretched out his thumb to Muto, Muto Yoshinori was in a daze, Wen Zhihao's originally up thumb suddenly turned down, looking at his smile at this time, he laughed ironically.
