Chapter 014: Bundesliga Debut (I)
"Why haven't you played yet?"
At Yang Fan's house, Yang's mother kept asking her wife. The TV screen was showing footage of a snooker match that she couldn't understand.
After learning that CCTV will broadcast the match between Wolfsburg and Frankfurt tonight, and his son Yang Fan is also selected for the game, the two old men are extremely excited, and they have been waiting in front of the TV since dinner.
"It's coming, it's coming. Dad Yang also glanced at the time on the alarm clock anxiously, in order to avoid oversleeping, they set the alarm clock, and in the end they didn't feel at ease, they simply didn't sleep, so they stayed in front of the TV and watched CCTV five sets.
"This snooker game is a rebroadcast, and it is not a live broadcast, and it has to be finished to broadcast Xiaofan's game live. Yang Fan's father complained.
"What is snooker?" asked Yang Fan's mother.
"That's what we're looking at now, those dolls in the town play billiards like this-"
At this time, finally, the replay of snooker ended, and the TV screen immediately changed, cutting to the game between Wolfsburg and Frankfurt.
"Viewers, viewers, you are watching the 19th round of the 2006/2007 Bundesliga season, Wolfsburg's match against Eintracht Frankfurt at home, and now the game has been played for 15 minutes in the first half. The score was 1-0 and the away team Eintracht Frankfurt took the lead. The voice of Tao Wei, the commentator of the CCTV commentary on the Bundesliga, came.
"It's a high-profile game as well. The reason why I say this is because there is a Chinese player in the Wolfsburg team. Duan Xuan shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, the name Yang Fan is definitely the name that has been mentioned the most times by fans in the past few days, and on major sports websites, the reports about Yang Fan are also the most concerned by fans." β
"That's right, this young man named Yang Fan was born out of nowhere and attracted enough eyeballs. There are different opinions on the Internet about Yang Fan's story, but in any case, this is a good thing, Chinese football has another player who can play in the top league, which is what everyone is happy to see. β
In this game, Yang Fan was also selected for Wolfsburg's eighteen-man squad. Duan Xuan said that at this time, the broadcast signal just gave a glimpse of the Wolfsburg bench, and Yang Fan appeared in the camera.
"This is Yang Fan, this is Yang Fan! This eighteen-year-old young man! He is sitting on the bench, and if Yang Fan can play in today's game, he will set a record for the youngest appearance of a Chinese player playing in Europe's top five leagues!"
"Young man has to come on!" Tao Wei said, "In China, some people are questioning Yang Fan and are skeptical that he can play in the Bundesliga, here I want to say, Yang Fan, come on, come on, young man!"
"Son, son-" In front of the TV, Yang Fan's mother saw her son, although it was only a second-long shot, but the mother was already so excited that she couldn't help herself, and tears couldn't hold back anymore, flowing down her cheeks. (good-looking novel) longing for his son who is far away in a foreign land, at this moment, completely bursts out.
Yang Fan's father picked up the teapot to drink water, his hands trembled, and his father always chose to restrain his feelings. He would just shout in his heart, "Son, come on, my son!"
Wolfsburg, Volkswagen Arena. At this point, the ball has been re-kicked off in the center circle.
VfL Wolfsburg seemed completely unprepared for conceding a goal, especially since it was a low-level mistake from their side. This is a drain and a blow to the morale of the whole team.
In the minutes that followed, the players seemed to be sleepwalking. Only captain Kevin Hovland's watch gave the Wolfsburg fans at the scene some hope.
It's just that seeing the captain of the team help the goalkeeper to fill in the leaks twice in a row on the goal line and keep the football out, any Wolfsburg fan will not be in a happy mood.
Their backline is now in jeopardy and could concede a second goal at any moment.
Wolfsburg finally got a counterattack opportunity in a difficult defense, an attack by Frankfurt just ended, Wolfsburg quickly counterattacked in front of the Frankfurt goal, Mike Hank squeezed into the penalty area with his strong body, a cross, Salpe received in the middle, was squeezed to the ground, however, Santana on the side still grabbed in front of the Frankfurt defender, shot directly, the football hit the post, bounced to the goal, and then was surprised by a cold sweat Frankfurt goalkeeper Nikolov hurriedly hugged in his armsγ
The Wolfsburg fans were stimulated by the team's attack and burst into cheers, which erupted in applause from the stands.
Augenthaler also stood up and applauded, the team's attack was very good, the only regret is that the goal did not go in.
In Augenthaler's view, the biggest significance of this attack is that Wolfsburg seems to have come out of the goal conceded.
However, just after Wolfsburg's missed goal, Eintracht Frankfurt's next attack was immediately launched, and their goalkeeper Nikolov kicked the ball forward, and the goalkeeper drove it straight to the front, which should have been a very ordinary, not much threatening attack. However, the result gave Frankfurt fans a reason to cheer.
Streit's header in front of the court was met by Naotai Takahara, who pointed the ball to the side again, and Meier chested the ball and dribbled along the wing.
After attracting Wolfsburg's defenders to intercept, Meier picked the ball into the box, and Wolfsburg goalkeeper Simon Jench collided with Fink, who had already penetrated the goal, and the ball smashed on Fink and bounced into the goal.
Two to zero!
Eintracht Frankfurt scored another goal.
The Eintracht Frankfurt players were unable to celebrate after the goal, as Fink was substituted after being cut in the thigh by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Simon Jench, bleeding profusely. Greek attacker Amanatidis came off the bench.
The passive substitution did not detract from Eintracht Frankfurt's happiness, as they cheered wildly to celebrate the second goal. With only half an hour into the first half, the team were 2-0 up at Wolfsburg, and it looked like a win would not be a big problem, a win that was especially precious for Eintracht Frankfurt, who were also not far from the relegation zone, and not to mention the points on top of their direct rivals Wolfsburg.
"If Eintracht Frankfurt win this game, they will step on the body of Wolfsburg and go ashore for the time being. Meier Hanks said that although the game was only half an hour old, he made no secret of the fact that the victory of the game was likely to belong to Eintracht Frankfurt. Because, from Wolfsburg's body, he really can't see the possibility of a reversal to win and a miracle.
Seeing Fink score, Eintracht Frankfurt had a two-goal lead over Wolfsburg. Yang Fan, who was sitting on the bench, held his head with both hands and grabbed his hair hard.
I'm a bastard!
Is this 0-2?
He subconsciously looked at the scoreboard on the court, which showed that the game had only been played for thirty-three minutes!
He looked at Augenthaler, who was standing on the sidelines. The head coach stood on the sidelines without saying a word, but his current appearance spoke of his anger, his original straight suit was thrown aside, and his tie was ripped off. It's ugly, just like the Wolfsburg team on the pitch right now.
Boos from the stands at the Volkswagen Arena shook the sky.
In the standings, Wolfsburg is behind Frankfurt, however, the difference between the two teams is not big, before the game, many Wolfsburg fans are still looking forward to seeing Wolfsburg kill Frankfurt, turn over, and step on this direct rival of relegation, now it seems that the Wolfsburg team in this game seems to have lost the game, and even if it is not good, it will be slaughtered by the opponent! Thinking that Wolfsburg may be slaughtered by Frankfurt, a not very strong opponent! And it is at their own home stadium! The Wolfsburg fans at the Volkswagen Arena covered their heads in pain, and such a match was a great pain and suffering for the team's loyal fans.
"Wolfsburg is in danger in this game. Duan Xuan sighed and said, because Yang Fan is now playing in Wolfsburg, when they are commenting, they will inevitably be inclined to Wolfsburg, "In the first half of the game, they fell behind 0-2, and judging from Wolfsburg's table this season, it is difficult for them to turn the tables." β
"If we lose this game, Wolfsburg coach Augenthaler will be in jeopardy. Tao Wei frowned and said, "This is not good news for Yang Fan. β
Tao Wei is right, Yang Fan is a player introduced by Ogenthaler, and will naturally give Yang Fan more opportunities, if Ogenthaler leaves class and changes to a new head coach, Yang Fan's future is unknown. It is even possible to be beaten into the cold palace.
"Of course, now, the Wolfsburg team is two goals behind, and it can even be said that the early defeat has been decided, and the big score is behind, in a sense, Yang Fan may get the opportunity to play earlier, and when the game completely collapses, there is no hope of turning the tables, and it enters garbage time, the head coach often sends young people to exercise. Duan Xuan said.
Yang Fan sat on the bench, his young face was full of anxiety, and he was worried about the team's current situation on the field. Of course, he also knows that if the team's early defeat is a certainty, he may get more opportunities to play.
However, Yang Fan doesn't like to see such a situation! Although he is eager to play and play, it does not mean that he is willing to see such a heavy defeat for the team.
From the moment he put on the Wolfsburg shirt, the young man felt a sense of responsibility, a responsibility to preserve the dignity and honour of the team.
He's not a Wolfsburg fan, and it doesn't matter if he's a fan of this team or not, it's professionalism!
He is also a real player, the kind of desire for victory and glory from the heart.
People, lions like to fight with lions, and no lion would want to be teammates with a flock of sheep.
He wants to move forward with his team, fight hard for victory, march towards glory and applause!
Yang Fan picked up a mineral water bottle from the ground, he unscrewed the cap, drank a few big sips, and then, screwed the cap, the bottle was clenched in his hand like that, pinched tightly, and with the force of his palm, the mineral water bottle made an unbearable moaning sound.
He can't wait to play.
