『Chapter error, click here to report』
When the Bundesliga started again, Yan Tao was no longer in the team, and the things in his locker room were not even taken by himself, but entrusted Feng Kai to ask a staff member of his agency to pick them up. Bayern's number 13 shirt is also vacant and awaits a new owner.
Bayern also blessed Yan Tao's departure, and Rummenigge said: "It's a pity that Yan Tao can't stay here anymore, I wish him all the best in Milan." Regardless of whether Rummenigge's words are true or false, at least his words can represent Bayern, and at his level, it can be regarded as giving Yan Tao a certain amount of respect.
Yan Tao went to Milan, Wang Shihan also returned to China, Zhang Shujie felt a little unaccustomed to it, Xu Zhixin was in another city, as for the Wolfsburg midfielder named Zhang Dongyi, to be honest, Zhang Shujie is really not familiar with him, and he doesn't have his contact information.
Zhang Shujie did not play in the game against Wolfsburg on January 31, when the Asian Cup final had just ended and he had not yet had time to return to Germany. Bayern, who played away, lost 1:4 to Wolfsburg and failed to win the first game in 2015, Zhang Dongyi did not play, and he did not even enter the squad.
On February 4, in the 19th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Schalke 04 at home, and Zhang Shujie, who had returned to the team, scored two goals and one assist, but he did not help Bayern win. At the Allianz Arena, Bayern were held to a 3-3 draw by Schalke and went two consecutive league games without a win in 2015. Five points were also recovered by Wolfsburg in the standings.
However, the good news is that Zhang Shujie's form has picked up after the Asian Cup, both goals were goals in the sports battle, and Bayern is also looking forward to him in the remaining league and the Champions Cup to lead Bayern to the championship.
Three days later, Bayern won 2-0 away at Xu Zhixin's Stuttgart, and Zhang Shujie was very positive throughout the game, but there were no goals or assists. On Valentine's Day, February 14, Bayern slaughtered Hamburg with an astonishing 8:0 at home, if you didn't watch this game and only watched the score, you think Zhang Shujie should score one or two goals, after all, such a big score, as the number one striker, Zhang Shujie does not score seems a little unreasonable.
But the fact is that Zhang Shujie really didn't score a goal or assist, and these two statistics are the same as the last round against Stuttgart. But when it comes to performance, he is far less active than in the previous round, on the contrary, he is still a little anxious, especially when the game is in the 56th minute, Bayern is already 6-0 ahead, he has not scored, and more importantly, Lewandowski has already scored.
His impatience also affected his mood and form in the game, and after two successive long-range shots that were somewhat untouchable, Pep Guardiola replaced him in the 65th minute. Zhang Shujie was very unhappy about this, and couldn't help but get angry when he walked to the sidelines, and said in his mouth: "Damn, why did you replace me like this?"
Pep Guardiola did not answer, and it is not known whether he did not hear or deliberately did not want to answer. Ironically, three minutes after Zhang Shujie went off the field, Bayern scored again, and the player who scored the goal was none other than Gotze, who came on as a substitute for him.
In the 90th minute, Gotze assisted Ribery to score the team's last goal. The score of 8:0 is also the largest point difference in the Bundesliga this season, but Guardiola said about Zhang Shujie in the post-match press conference: "His form this season is too up and down, the team's eight goals in this game, none of them belong to him." ”
When Zhang Shujie learned about it, he immediately shouted to him: "You replaced me in the 65th minute, did you think that I couldn't score in the remaining 25 minutes, so you replaced me?"
This general's words are reasonable, and they are not to be blamed, but considering the delicate relationship between the two, coupled with the media's penchant for obscenity and exaggeration, in the report, the contradiction between Zhang Shujie and Guardiola was placed under the sun.
As a result, "The General's Discord" became the biggest news in the Bundesliga this week.
Four days later, on February 18, the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 began, and the whole Bayern team went to Ukraine to challenge Shakhtar Donetsk. The media is definitely optimistic about Bayern, the two teams are very different in quality, the home stadium is not an advantage for Shakhtar Donetsk, and their manager also said that this game will be very difficult, even if they do lose, they will not blame the players.
Bayern also has a lot of internal problems in these days, such as the contradiction between Zhang Shujie and Guardiola has gradually deepened, but Guardiola still put him in the starting lineup in this game and played the whole game, however, Zhang Shujie's four shots only hit the goal, and the other three were all out of the goal, and Bayern did not win Shakhtar Donetsk away from home, and returned to Munich with a score of 0:0.
Pep Guardiola said: "Last time he didn't score, said I didn't give him enough time, now I give him 90 minutes and he still hasn't scored. ”
The "he" in Guardiola's mouth naturally refers to Zhang Shujie, and Gua Shuai's words are very plain, but in his words, his dissatisfaction with Zhang Shujie has been faintly revealed.
If you want to talk about ability alone, Zhang Shujie is definitely better than anyone in the Bayern team, and he can also be comparable to Ronaldo Messi in today's football, but his current state is a little up and down, and he himself has some gaps with Guardiola, so Guardiola's many dissatisfaction with him also has some personal factors.
In the current situation, in addition to Guardiola, some fans also have some opinions, most of these fans are chased by Lewandowski, they have long known that Zhang Shujie and Lewandowski "do not agree", and they also take advantage of the fact that they are falling into the well now. They demanded that Pep Guardiola take Zhang Shujie from the starting line-up and straighten Lewandowski to give the Polish striker more firing rights.
Who is Pep Guardiola? He will definitely not listen to the fans, otherwise anyone can be the head coach, he still arranged Zhang Shujie among the starting eleven, but he has already begun to replace him 10-20 minutes early.
In the 22nd round of the league, Bayern challenged Paderborn away, Zhang Shujie scored twice in the first half to help Bayern lead 2:0, and he was still waiting for a hat trick in the second half, but Guardiola replaced him in the 70th minute, so Zhang Shujie was in a bad mood, but he could only accept the result of being replaced. Lewandowski also scored twice in this game, and Bayern won a big 6-0 victory.
On March 23, in the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Cologne at home, Zhang Shujie scored a penalty, judging from the 70 minutes he played, the overall can only be said to be average, and a single knife and an empty goal opportunity were wasted. Bayern lost 1:2 to the opponent in this game, and some media stirred up trouble after the game, saying that if it weren't for the two great opportunities wasted by Zhang Shujie, Bayern would not have lost these three points.
Next up was the German Cup, and before the game, Guardiola did not put Zhang Shujie in the starting lineup. But it can't be thought that Zhang Shujie has lost his status in the team because of this, after all, this is only the German Cup, not the league and not the Champions League, Guardiola explained that it is to let the main team rest, so he will not give Zhang Shujie the main position. But what he really thinks, only he knows.
