Chapter 168: Provocation

The match between Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 was the highlight of the third round of the Bundesliga, and CCTV also got the right to broadcast the game.

Wolfsburg FC will hold an award ceremony for Yang Fan before the match to celebrate his Bundesliga Footballer of the Year award. Duan Xuan said with regret, "We originally discussed with the German side and tried to get the live broadcast of the award ceremony, but due to technical reasons, we can't see the live broadcast now, which is really a great pity." ”

Duan Xuan and his commentator Tao Wei both sighed, the Chinese player won the Bundesliga Footballer of the Year, and the club held an award ceremony for him, such a highlight moment, but it has never been possible, and it is really a pity that he was not able to witness this scene with his own eyes.

In fact, at this time, there were already football fans in front of the TV who scolded angrily, and CCTV announced that it would broadcast the award ceremony live, which made Chinese football fans happy and excited.

"The game is about to start and we have the starting line-up for both sides. ”

The starting line-ups of both sides were also shown on the TV screen:

Schalke (――):

'Goalkeeper': - Neuer;

Defenders: Raphinha, Westermann, Bordon, Hovides;

Midfielders: Jones, Ernst, Rakitic, Bayramovich;

Forwards: Coulanyi, Lovekrantz;

Wolfsburg (-):

'Goalkeeper': - Yanqi;

Defenders: Stegmeier, Madelen, Quiroga, Schaefer;

Midfielders: Gentner, 'Mon' Taianu, Boateng, Marcelinho;

Forwards: Yang Fan, Dzeko;

Schalke won one and drew one in the first two rounds of the Bundesliga, and they drew 2-2 away to defending champions Stuttgart in the first round of the league, and beat Borussia Dortmund 4-1 at home in the second round of the league. ”

That's right, Slomka's recruitment this summer has been quite successful, and the German media also sees Schalke as the second most popular team after Bayern Munich. ”

Duan Xuan is right, after the grinding of last season, this Schalke team has introduced several powerful players in the summer, and the overall strength has increased unabated, and the table is very strong.

At this time, the game has begun, the away Schalke anti-guest, the beginning of the initiative on the field, only three minutes into the opening, Bayramovic a beautiful over-the-top cross, Kulanyi "chest" after stopping the ball, a cold "shot", by Wolfsburg "goalkeeper" Yanqi prayed, the football hit the post, was cleared by Madelen.

Schalke almost scored as soon as he started. Their luck was not good, presumably the Wolfsburg ball 'fans' just now were taken aback by Kuranyi's 'shot' and 'goal'. Duan Xuan said.

'Bayramovich's passing was also very imaginative, and Gentner didn't expect the opponent to pick it out. Tao Wei was full of praise for Bayramovich, who passed the ball.

"Bayramovich, the name of this 'Wave' black player is easy to remind people of the Swedish god Tajbrahimovic, the two are not only very similar in name, but also have similar tempers, German media have reported that when he was a teenager, Bayramovich was unruly, playing wild football in a residential area and was blown away by residents, as a result, he and his friends went to ring the 'door' bell every day to disturb the neighbor. The community also sent a warning letter to Bajramovich's home. ”

Wolfsburg coach Magath's brows were tightly locked, and Schalke's cold 'shot' startled him, but what really made Magath frown was that several subsequent Wolfsburg counterattacks were steadily resolved by Schalke.

Compared with the threat to the team in Schalke's attack, Schalke's defensive stability is more of a headache for Magath, because Magath knows that his Wolfsburg's biggest advantage is the offensive line, Yang Fan's attacking ability is the guarantee of the team's goals, compared with the general defense, the biggest guarantee for Wolfsburg to win is to score more goals than the opponent. However, Schalke's defense in the first ten minutes of the game made Magath frown.

He sat back in the dugout, thinking in his head.

A few of Schalke's defenders made Magath drool.

Centre-back Jorge Bordon is a veteran of the Bundesliga, landing in the Bundesliga in the year, first playing for Stuttgart for a season, and then moving to Schalke, for which he has been for three seasons. The physical, centre-back is not only brilliant defensively, but also capable of shooting from a distance and heading superbly, and is a well-known knife-forward defender in the Bundesliga, including a hat-trick in the draw with Bremen in Stuttgart, defending and contributing to the team in attack, Bordon has long been one of the best centre-backs in the Bundesliga.

Boldon's centre-back partner is the young Westerman, who switched from Bielefeld to Schalke 04 in the summer is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the first two rounds of the Bundesliga. The young man has a strong sense of position, abundant physical fitness, and the ability to predict 'brilliance', and the media has already regarded Westermann as a rising defensive star in the German national team.

Needless to say, right wing-back Raphinha was the best defender in the Bundesliga last season.

Left wing-back Hovides is the main workhorse of the German national youth team, unlike the traditional German tall central defenders, Hovides is impeccable in front defending, his absolute speed and explosiveness should not be underestimated, and his set-piece snatching is also a hidden blade for the team.

In addition, Schalke's 'goalkeeper' Neuer is an excellent 'goalkeeper' in the Bundesliga on a par with Adler, and he is considered to be the German national 'goalkeeper' after Kahn.

Not only is the backline strong, Schalke has also learned the lessons of last season, and the defensive strength in the midfield has also been greatly enhanced, taking Schalke's home four-one Dort' 'Monde' game, the team's midfielder two players Jones and Ernst's table Xiàn are quite eye-catching, Jones has been silently 'mixed' in the front line for several years, after coming to Schalke, under Slomka, he changed his career to play in the back but shined, strong body and tireless running made Schalke's defense go up a notch. The combination of him and Ernst in the back is a sight to behold.

Nineteen minutes into the game, Schalke scored.

This is Wolfsburg's attack in the front, a pass from Gentner, which Jones 'holes' the passing route in advance, after the successful grab. Jones made a long pass directly to the penalty area, Baylamovich's header was ferried, Madelen cleared near the penalty spot, but he kicked the football in front of Kulanyi, the German international obviously would not 'waste' such an opportunity, Kuranyi squeezed away the quiroga who came up to 'force' the grab, and the front of the penalty area 'shot' was vigorously low, and Wolfsburg's 'goalkeeper' Yanqi fell to the ground to save, but he couldn't touch the football, and the football rolled into the net.

From the very beginning of the game, the visitors took the initiative and Kuranyi scored! 1-0! Schalke lead away from Wolfsburg!" shouted Netzer.

"Kuranyi has scored!Wait and see-" Hans shouted, "Kuranyi ran to Yang Fan, what is he going to do?"

Schalke's 'shooter' after the goal attracted everyone's attention, and Kuranyi ran to celebrate the goal, shaking his fingers as he ran, and the direction he ran seemed to be running towards Yang Fan.

Yang Fan had a cold face and looked at the Schalke striker who was running towards him.

Is this a provocation?!

Kuranyi just shook his finger like that, almost brushing Yang Fan's side and ran over, and then he stopped not far behind Yang Fan, turned his back to the stands, pointed to the number and name on the back of his jersey! and then hugged Bayramovich, who provided him with an assist! Well, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Kuranyi's celebration.

However, huge boos erupted in the stands. The football 'fans' are not stupid, of course they know that Kuranyi's move is absolutely provocative to Yang Fan. Later, the hug with Bayramovich was just a cover-up. Kuranyi's gesture of pointing to the number and name on the back of the shirt is exactly what Yang Fan likes to do after scoring a goal.

The camera immediately gave Yang Fan a close-up.

The young man's face was 'gloomy', and his eyes were fixed on Kuranyi, who was celebrating with his teammates.

"There is no doubt that Kuranyi's move 'provoked' Yang Fan, Schalke's 'shooting' move was really unnecessary, and there was no need for him to make such a move to stab the opponent. Hans said a little angrily, "Kuranyi 'provoked' Yang Fan, and I'm looking forward to the next game." ”

Netzer laughed, lest the world not be 'chaotic' and said, "Is it because Kuranyi was hit back by this little-known Chinese 'shooter' last season who won the Golden Boot?"

"Kuranyi made a defiant celebration after the goal. Duan Xuan shouted, "The boos in the stands of Wolfsburg's home stadium shook the sky, and Kuranyi's move 'provoked' the home 'fans', and in the hearts of Wolfsburg's 'fans', Yang Fan is the prince! Obviously, Kuranyi's actions caused public outrage." ”

'It's really weird, I don't think Kuranyi is the kind of player who is prone to making such an irrational move. Tao Wei shook his head and said.

"Maybe it's something 'excited'. Duan Xuan sneered and said, "Yang Fan is not the kind of master who can swallow his anger after being provoked, just look at his story in the national team."

"Ahem, ahem. Tao Wei immediately kicked Duan Xuan below. The latter immediately reacted, "Haha, it was just a joke just now, you just treat it as if you didn't hear it, what I want to say is that Yang Fan is angry, and the consequences may be very strict." ”
