Chapter 242: A Dream Start
The battle between Wolfsburg and defending champion Stuttgart, as the agent of Wolfsburg's number one star, Michael. Baker did not appear in the stands at Daimler Stadium.
At the time, the agent was in London and he had come to speak with Chelsea about Ballack's current situation at Chelsea.
At the start of the season, the Chelsea manager left out Ballack's squad for the Champions League group stage, citing his injury, much to his anger. Speaking to the DFB's official website at the time, Ballack said: "I'm very disappointed [to be excluded from the Champions League] and I don't think that's what I deserve. My ankle injury is getting better, but it's still bothering me. I can't give a specific time for my return at the moment, but I don't think that should be an excuse for me to be excluded from the Champions League group stage. ”
It was also seen as a sign that Mourinho had given up on Ballack. According to the British "Observer", Chelsea owner Abramovich did not know about Ballack's exclusion from the Champions League group stage, according to the newspaper, until he saw the British media report, the Russian giant did not learn about it. Speaking to the media, Abramovich expressed his confusion at Mourinho's abandonment of Ballack, who is one of the highest-paid players in the squad and the German should clearly not miss such an important tournament as the Champions League group stage.
Now, there is only one game left in the group stage of the Champions League, and Chelsea have also reached the knockout stage. Chelsea are also on the verge of registering the squad for the knockout stage of the tournament, Michael. Baker is here for London for this reason, Ballack's thinking is clear, next year is the European Championship year, he needs to play, he needs to play at a high level, and if he doesn't get the respect he deserves at Chelsea, he will choose to leave.
Recently, the mainstream sports media in Europe have also been rumored that Ballack will bid farewell to Chelsea, Serie A "new army" Juventus, La Liga giant Real Madrid are all possible places for the Germans, for this statement, Ballack did not give a clear answer, he told reporters: "At the moment I can only accept the decision of the manager, in fact, for me, recuperation is the top priority." I'll only think about anything else when I'm able to play again. "Other issues." "Obviously it's about moving to another team.
For Michael, of course. The 'good news' for Baker and Ballack is that Jose Mourinho has left Chelsea and new head coach Grant seems to be taking Ballack seriously. (Good Novel)
After a meeting with Grant and the Chelsea hierarchy in London, Baker received good news that Chelsea had expressed their importance for Ballack, and that the German national team captain's inclusion in the Champions League knockout stage squad was not a problem at all.
After temporarily solving the problem of his biggest star, the captain of the German national team, at Chelsea, Beck had planned to travel to Germany to Stuttgart to watch the game between Wolfsburg and Stuttgart. If Ballack is his biggest star at the moment, then Yang Fan is the superstar who is most likely to dominate football in the future.

Baker was not able to make it back to Germany in time to watch Yang Fan's game because he received a call from a person.
Seeing the caller's ID number, Baker 'revealed' a surprised expression and then smiled.
"Good afternoon, sir. Baker smiled and Alex on the other end of the phone. Sir Alex Ferguson greeted.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Michael. "Would you be interested in having a cup of coffee together?"
"It's an honour, it's just that I'm not in Manchester right now. Baker felt strange about Ferguson's invitation.
"I know you're in London, it's such a coincidence, I'm in London too. Ferguson told Baker the address, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and hung up the phone.
Baker laughed out loud, this is Alex Ferguson, the old Scottish man lover is also so strong in drinking coffee. Speaking of which, in football, there really isn't anyone who would turn down Alex Ferguson's invitation to coffee. The fact that the old Scottish man is willing to treat you to coffee is in itself something to be proud of and boast about.
Regarding the call from Ferguson, Baker was also pondering Ferguson's intentions. Obviously, it's not as simple as drinking coffee, the two don't have such a deep 'friendship', and the godfather of Manchester United is also very busy.
He thought about it and roughly guessed what Ferguson meant. Under his own banner, only Ballack and Yang Fan are currently hot, especially Yang Fan, before that, there were rumors that Manchester United fell in love with Yang Fan, and it is very likely that Ferguson is coming for Yang Fan.
Of course, Ballack had a bad time with Chelsea before, and it cannot be ruled out that Manchester United want to take the opportunity to bring Ballack to Old Trafford.
When Baker arrived at the café that Ferguson was talking about, the godfather of Manchester United was already waiting there.
"Mr. Michael. I'm not going to beat around the bush. "Last week, I watched that game at the Stadio Frankie in Fiorentina. ”
Baker immediately understood that Ferguson's target was not Ballack or Yang Fan.
※※※※※※※
Michael. While Baker and Ferguson met in this humble café, the match between Wolfsburg and Stuttgart had already begun at the Daimler Stadium in Stuttgart.
As we said earlier, there was a lot of snow in Stuttgart today, which caused problems for the football 'fans' who went to the stadium to watch the game, and they arrived at the stadium one after another after the game started, so that some of the football 'fans' missed the 'fine' after the game started.
The game had just started a minute, and there were still a lot of 'fans' who had just entered the field, and at this time, they were looking down for their seats. When these people were still in the snow, looking down for the seat number corresponding to the ticket on the ballot, they heard a deafening cheer ringing in their ears. This scared the hell out of them.
They looked up and there was no movement from the people around them, and the cheers were clearly not coming from the home stands, so they knew which side had scored.
They subconsciously looked at the pitch and saw that the players on the side wearing the light green 'color' jerseys were running wildly with excitement!
VfL Wolfsburg has scored!
A voice sounded on the live radio, and the home broadcast reluctantly announced: "In the first minute of the game, 0-1, the away team Wolfsburg leads!
It is not only Stuttgart's football 'fans' who are looking for seats, but the home team's football 'fans' will not have any regrets for missing this goal, but they are also late, and the Wolfsburg football 'fans' who are looking for seats feel very regretful.
"It's so fast! As soon as the game started, there was a goal, to be honest, I was distracted just now, I didn't expect to score so soon! At this time, I have to thank the replay like the ball 'fan' in front of the TV, I believe many people don't see how the goal was scored! Wolfsburg kicked off first, Yang Fan kicked the football to Dzeko, who kicked it to Boateng, Boateng took the ball forward, he met Hitzelsperger's interception, and both had movements on their hands! Boateng fell to the ground in a scuffle with Hitzelsperger, but he managed to pass the ball first, after Marcelinho won the ball, passed the ball forward, Yang Fan received Dzeko's header, and when the 'chest' stopped the ball, it was brought down by Basturkel, Wolfsburg's free kick. They took a quick free-kick, Schaefer took two steps along the wing, suddenly got up and crossed, Boateng pressed Mera in the box to head the 'goal', Hildebrand, he made a successful save! Shoot up! Make up 'shot'! Shoot - Shoot in! It was Yang Fan who scored the goal! From the whistle at the beginning of the game to the goal appeared, it took 53 seconds! This is the fastest goal in the Bundesliga this season!" The commentator Hans roared excitedly.
"Yang Fan scored for Wolfsburg in the opening 53 seconds, which is a god speed. It's just that his goal speed, compared with the Bundesliga's fastest goal record is still a lot of gap, the Bundesliga's fastest goal record is eleven seconds, in March 30, 2002, the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen team hosts Kaiserslautern, Leverkusen team's 36-year-old veteran Ulf, Kirsten in the opening l1 seconds to 'shoot' the 'goal' successfully. Previously, on January 31, l998, Bayern Munich defeated Hamburg 3-0, and Elber also scored the opponent's goal in the 11th second of the game. Of course, congratulations to Yang Fan, who scored a meaningful goal and Wolfsburg got off to a dream start. Netzer said.
Magath rushed out of the dugout and applauded the goal, which was clearly exciting for the Wolfsburg manager.
In the dressing room he told the players to try to score first, and against Stuttgart, this game will be difficult, although Stuttgart are now behind Wolfsburg in points and standings, but whoever despises the defending champions will definitely die a miserable death!
Magath's tactics for the team are to attack from the start, try to score as soon as possible, and hold the initiative in his hands. It's just that Magath didn't expect the team to give him such a big surprise - in less than a minute after the opening, Yang Fan helped the team score!
"Yang Fan has not been affected by the recent troubles at all, he is in excellent form, this is his seventeenth goal in the Bundesliga this season! In sixteen rounds of the league, he has scored seventeen goals! What a horrible goal efficiency!"
After the goal, Yang Fan rushed to the stands of the away team's fans concentrated in the Wolfsburg team's fans, he roared all the way, his expression was excited, and he kept waving his arms to signal the ball fans' to shout louder. A little louder. He loved to hear cheers like that. For a 'shooter', this is the voice that can most 'arouse' their desire to fight, and can make their blood boil!
