On 27 January 2007, the match day of the 18th round of the Bundesliga, after a winter break of more than a month, the 2006/2007 Bundesliga season was revived. ()

Volkswagen Stadium Wolfsburg.

VfL Wolfsburg hosted Hertha Berlin, the opponent of this round of the league.

Before this game, Wolfsburg arranged a meeting ceremony for Yang Fan with fans.

The meeting ceremony itself was also very simple, and Augenthaler had Yang Fan appear in the middle of the court. Meet the fans in a Wolfsburg jersey. Yang Fan stood there, waving to the stands of the Volkswagen Stadium.

The fans reacted a little coldly to this strange young guy. There was no such warm welcome as the cheers that shook the public stadium.

There was only a few sparse applause in the stands.

In this situation, although Yang Fan has long been mentally prepared, it is inevitable that he will be a little disappointed.

After meeting with the fans, Yang Fan stood on the sidelines holding a Wolfsburg scarf. Let the reporters take pictures, the enthusiasm of the reporters is not high, and they are obviously a little lacking in interest in this strange guy.

The entire unveiling ceremony took less than five minutes. Then, Yang Fan left the court. Then take off your jersey. Dressed and sitting in the stands at the Volkswagen Stadium to watch the game - he didn't make the squad for the game at all.

"This meeting ceremony is really chilling. Wang Yang said with some dissatisfaction.

"What do you think will happen?" Zhang Shun first glanced at the junior, and then looked at the photo just taken, Yang Fan held up Wolfsburg's No. 28 jersey, and the young man's face was a sunny smile. He was very happy with the photo.

"Wolfsburg was able to arrange this meeting ceremony for Yang Fan, which is already quite good. Zhang Shunxian said.

He and Wang Yang were also among the reporters who were taking pictures around Yang Fan just now, and they had already obtained their interview cards. This is also thanks to the help of Yang Fan's agent, Michael Baker.

Compared with Wang Yang's stunned 'unevenness', Zhang Shunxian's 'old Jianghu' is very open, Yang Fan is just a nobody, and the vast majority of fans in Wolfsburg don't even know the existence of such a No. 1 person. Yang Fan's future in Wolfsburg is not optimistic, this young man's future road still needs him to work hard and fight his own way!

For Yang Fan didn't even enter the game squad today, Zhang Shunxian is not surprised, Yang Fan has just joined the team for two days, and there is almost no tacit understanding with the whole team, the head coach will not send Yang Fan in such a situation, and from a certain Cheng dù, this is also a kind of protection for Yang Fan.

In this match, Wolfsburg lost 1-2 at home to Hertha Berlin, much to the disappointment of Wolfsburg fans. After a winter break, the team doesn't seem to be out of the quagmire of winlessness. The defeat saw Wolfsburg drop one place from 12th place to 13th out of 18 teams in the Bundesliga, and to make matters worse, Wolfsburg are now just four points above third-from-bottom Borussia Mönchengladbach and are getting closer to the relegation zone.

Therefore, after the game, Wolfsburg continued to slide into the relegation zone, which made the criticism and doubts of Wolfsburg coach Augenthaler even more severe.

In addition, Yang Fan, who appeared before the game, did not cause any sensation when he appeared, but after the game, he unexpectedly quickly became the focus of media attention.

Very simple. Because, the pioneer of the inverted Augenthaler "Wolfsburg Comprehensive Information News" has a serious discovery, Augenthaler's only signing in the forward line this winter - this young Chinese striker has no experience in the first team of a professional team at all, this young man was only a member of the Newcastle U19 youth team before!

Although the deal did not cost Wolfsburg a penny, it was only a free loan from Newcastle. But the media, which has nothing to do and likes to talk nonsense, still hypes it up. Many media outlets have questioned Augenthaler's vision. At the same time, he also questioned Yang Fan's ability.

In order to achieve the purpose of criticizing Ogenthaler, Wolfsburg Comprehensive Information even selectively ignored Yang Fan's recent hot form at Newcastle, ignored the youngster's consecutive hat-tricks against Arsenal Under-19s and Chelsea's Under-19s, and instead used his previous 10 games without scoring a goal. The media criticized Yang Fan for not having the level and strength to play for Wolfsburg, and even ridiculed Yang Fan as much as possible. Finally, he sarcastically asserted in the report: "A man who can also fall into a goal drought in the youth league...... A Chinese player...... A brat who has never played in a professional game with a first team...... Is this the sharp knife that Klaus-Organthaler has high hopes for? Does Organthaler expect this stinking Chinese boy to save his position? Haha, don't be kidding! Mr. Organthhaler, who is in a hurry to go to the hospital, you are not crazy......

The article was written by Cox, a columnist for the Wolfsburg Allenical Newspaper newspaper, who was instructed to criticize a young striker who had just joined Wolfsburg in his column in order to criticize and embarrass Augenthaler.

The task was a piece of cake for Cox, who was able to type this incisive comment on the keyboard with ease. In this review, Cox was extremely sarcastic about the young man, and he was proud of his caustic articles, and he did not even think about whether the report would hurt the young man.

The Wolfsburg newspaper ridiculed the youngster, who had only been with the club for two days and had not played a minute for the team, and thanks to them, some Wolfsburg fans began to notice the young man who appeared before the match against Hertha Berlin that day.

The Wolfsburg All-In-Witten newspaper took the lead, and behind this media outlet was a huge legion. Including the "Wolfsburg Express", "****", "Wolfsburg Post", these media have long been grudges with Ogenthaler, during this time has been insisting on Black Ogenthaler unwavering, but unfortunately because it is the winter break, did not grasp some substantial places that can be attacked, now, the winter break is over, Ogenthaler's team continues to lose, and this gentleman has 'directed' such an unreliable reinforcement, which can be regarded as allowing them to seize a good opportunity, how can they let it go?

“…… We know the predicament Ogenthaler is facing, and it's clear that he's aware of the team's problems at the attacking end, but it's hard to imagine that he's pinning his hopes on a young man who has only played in the youth league and who is a Chinese striker...... With all due respect, this doesn't mean anything else, but the level of football in China ...... Their best game is table tennis, not football, and Mr. Augenthaler must be mistaken. - The Wolfsburg Express

"As far as we know, Mr. Organthaler brought in this young man after the failure to bring in Denmark international Tomasson, does he really think that this kid can be used as a spare tire for the former AC Milan goalscorer?

"We don't know how this youngster caught the eye of Organthaler in faraway Newcastle, of course, maybe the lad has been a good player lately, we noticed that he scored a hat-trick against Arsenal and Chelsea's youth team, and maybe that's what made Organthaler decide to go on loan, but one thing we have to remind Organthaler that the Bundesliga game is a completely different world from the youth league game...... And, Mr. Augenthaler, you have to realize that time is running out for you...... "****" can be regarded as a more polite speech, he did not shy away from Yang Fan's recent good scoring feeling, but, obviously, "****" believes that Yang Fan, who has no experience in first-team games, is unlikely to bring any help to Wolfsburg.

This is a rare situation, Yang Fan is just a newcomer, he does not have any old grudges with these German media, he does not even speak German yet. He's just a rookie. However, it seems to have caused public anger all of a sudden and became the target of public criticism.

In fact, the news media in Germany, and especially in Wolfsburg, are so "aggressive" about a nobody's rookie player. Mainly because of Augenthaler's long-standing contradictions in the Wolfsburg media.

Wolfsburg's poor record meant that the media felt that they had a natural right to criticize, and they criticized Augenthaler's formation in their own media, criticizing his tactics and substitutions. As we said earlier, Augenthaler is a character coach. He was very unhappy with these unfriendly actions of the media, and his response was quite fierce, and he clashed with the media many times, and this conflict, after he announced that he would refuse any media interview with Wolfsburg, and that he would give an interview to the "Wolfsburg Comprehensive News" without authorization, and substitute striker Waldette Rama went directly to the reserve team as a punishment, and the conflict and contradiction between Augenthaler and the media reached a climax.

The media was outraged, and they felt they had every reason to be angry. You, Augenthaler, don't let them interview them, which is simply the worst act in their opinion. If Organthaler doesn't give them the opportunity to make news, they won't have news, especially for the local media in Wolfsburg, how to win Wolfsburg fans to spend money on their newspapers is their biggest thing! Organthhaler's move has stabbed the hornet's nest, which is tantamount to smashing their jobs.

Smashing people's jobs, this is a big enemy.

Naturally, the media became more supportive of Augenthaler, and they began to notice that as Wolfsburg's record got worse and worse, fans began to doubt Organthhaler's coaching ability, and some fans began to call for a change of manager at the club. Therefore, these media are very energetic, and they actually cater to some fans on a certain course, and the sales of newspapers are not bad, and now, they are even more energetic.

To put it mildly, the media Black Organthal has reached the point of 'madness', and even his newly signed young goalscorer Yang Fan has fallen into bad luck, plus Yang Fan is indeed very young and has not played in the first team, which has also become an excuse to question his ability. Of course, in the final analysis, Yang Fan suffered from the pond fish, and in the eyes of those media, naturally there is no place for him as a small shrimp, and the media has no enmity with him, they criticize and question him, purely slapping Augenthaler in the face. That's why this kid is subjected to such overwhelming doubts and criticism, nothing more.

That kid was an unlucky one.

A reporter from the Wolfsburg newspaper described Yang Fan's tragic experience.
