Chapter 529: The Second Half of the League
The heat of the Golden Globe Awards has gradually passed, no matter how excited Zhang Shujie is, he should slowly calm down and prepare for the league. However, his fiancée was still excited, and on the second day of Zhang Shujie's award, Wang Shihan had a four-hour long-distance call with him, and then updated Zhang Shujie's award information on his Weibo.
The winter transfer market in European football is underway, and as of January 15, Bayern Munich has made no moves, except to loan German defender Kirchhoff, who can barely play the ball in the team, to Schalke O4, and is currently in negotiations.
The biggest transfer to date has been the transfer of Chelsea's Spanish midfielder Juan Mata to Manchester United for around €450,000, and if nothing else, Mata is likely to be the transfer target of this winter, as many teams usually only add to their respective positions, and rarely make such a big move.
Zhang Shujie played two warm-up games with Bayern, with one goal and one assist, and performed well. Because these games are all aimed at warm-up, the new champion of world football did not give it his all, but just moved his body to stay active enough to prepare for the upcoming league.
On January 25, the second half of the Bundesliga resumed its fire. Just a few days ago, Bayern's official website announced that the 23-year-old young defender in the team has been loaned to Schalke O4 and thanked him for his contribution to the team.
Bayern have played one less round of matches due to their participation in the Club World Cup, and the next games will make up for this round of the league, but Bayern are still in the standings. They will take on Borussia Mönchengladbach away from home in this round, and before the game, Zhang Shujie will show off his Ballon d'Or award.
In the applause of teammates, opponents and fans, Zhang Shujie showed the Ballon d'Or to all the audience, and Bayern club executives also came to the scene to congratulate him, such as former Ballon d'Or winner Beckenbauer.
The game was also postponed for a few minutes, this time Zhang Shujie worked very hard, for him who won the Ballon d'Or not long ago, if he can score a goal, it will be the best reward for himself.
His team-mates understood what he wanted and worked hard to create chances for him, with four shots on goal in the first half alone. However, Zhang Shujie in the game seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, although all four shots hit the goal frame, none of them crossed the goal line. Two of them hit the post, and on one occasion the ball bounced back and forth between the posts, but it just didn't jump into the back of the net.
The on-site commentator sighed: "Didn't our new Ballon d'Or winner have no goal luck today?"
Although Zhang Shujie failed to score in the first 45 minutes, Bayern still ended the first half with Muller's goal 1:o. In the second half, Zhang Shujie's desire to shoot was even stronger, and he had two shots in the first ten minutes, but he still didn't send the ball into the net.
Zhang Shujie also became a little impatient, and the commentator said: "Now Zhang Shujie is more eager to score than any moment. ”
In the first hour, he had six shots, five of which hit the framework, but none of them were pry open to the opponent's city, and even he began to wonder if he really didn't wear shooting boots.
However, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and in the 81st minute of the game, Zhang Shujie received a direct plug from Kroos in a counterattack, ran 30 meters with the ball, shook the goalkeeper Stegen, and sent the ball into the empty goal.
Zhang Shujie finally scored.
The goal ensured Bayern's victory on the road, and Zhang Shujie himself was very excited, and he changed his usual celebrations and ran on the pitch, while also venting his frustration in the first 80 minutes.
After the game, many media believed: "Maybe it's because the league has just started, Zhang Shujie, who has experienced a holiday, did not show his best condition, with seven shots on goal and only one goal." However, Mr. Golden eventually took the ball from the away point for Bayern, and that was the most important thing. ”
Zhang Shujie himself admitted: "I don't think I'm back to my best, but anyway, I scored and the team won, I'm very happy." ”
Five days later, Bayern had another away game against Sttgart. Brazilian defender Dante returned from injury in this round, but Pep Guardiola did not send him and left him on the bench. The key is that Yan Tao's form in the past six months is too good, and he has been named the best of the game four times, and Guardiola can't find a reason to win him.
Zhang Shujie failed to score in this game, but fortunately he provided an assist for Pizarro, thus increasing his league assist count to 10, and getting a double-double in the league for two consecutive seasons.
Bayern eventually left the Mercedes-Benz Arena with a score of 2:1. Three days later there will be a make-up match against Bayern Munich at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, a team that was once the team of Chinese player Yang Cheng.
In this game, Bayern defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 5:o, and Zhang Shujie scored the first goal of the game, completing his 22nd league goal this season, far from Lewandowski, who ranked second. Götze, Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and Margaret Mandzukic also scored a goal each.
In the twentieth round, Bayern faced Nuremberg away, Zhang Shujie has completely entered the best condition, he opened the bow left and right in the second half, scored two goals, helped Bayern win all three points away, and the number of individual league goals reached 24.
On February 13, Bayern will challenge Hamburg away in the German Cup, and Zhang Shujie will rest in this game, but the powerful Bayern still swept Hamburg with five goals and successfully advanced to the next round.
Two days later, Bayern faced Freiburg in the 21st round of the Bundesliga, Zhang Shujie assisted Shakiri twice in this game, and Lahm and Mandzukic also scored one goal each to help Bayern win 4:O.
On February 20, the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League opened, and Bayern's opponent was the British powerhouse Arsenal, who played 3-3 in the two legs of the round of 16 last season and were eliminated due to the disadvantage of away goals. In the second leg, Arsenal had saved their hopes for a while, but unfortunately they still failed to reach the quarter-finals.
The two teams met again in the round of 16 this year, with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger saying: "Bayern are strong but we are confident of beating them. ”
Perhaps it was because of the 2:o at home last year that Wenger was so inspired that he dared to say such things before the home game. After the start of the game, Arsenal did attack fiercely, Bayern was even suppressed for ten minutes, and what was even more unfortunate was that Zhang Shujie was injured in the fifteenth minute, which made all fans worried.
Fortunately, in the post-game diagnosis, the team doctor said that Zhang Shujie was only a minor injury, and it was okay to rest for a day or two, and he could completely catch up with the next round of the league. Now the fans are relieved, and in this Champions League matchup, although Bayern lost Zhang Shujie, but with the goals of Kroos and Muller, they still beat Arsenal 2:o, which made Wenger's pre-game rhetoric a joke.
Losing on their own turf and waiting for the next round to be away from home Arsenal is even more difficult to win, and this is still when Zhang Shujie only played fifteen points. What's more, as long as Bayern don't lose at home, then Arsenal will be eliminated.
