For example, Degan's family is middle-class in Brazil, and Mr. Wright is an engineer, but since his two sons became professional players, Kaka transferred to AC Milan, he has been the agent of his two sons.

"Hello, Mr. Wright, it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Degan's good friend Zhang Yuan!" Zhang Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Degan's father.

"Hello, Zhang Yuan, thank you very much this time!" Mr. Wright said gratefully, he was telling the truth, he only had two players under his banner, one was Kaka, the other was Degan, in fact, he was not well-connected in European football circles, and it was difficult for him to do Digan's affairs this time, because he didn't know many people, and Degan's current situation could only find club trials one by one.

Degan has long said that his choice is to go to the Bundesliga, but Mr. Wright started to do his homework in Serie A, and it is obvious that the effect is not good, no team has taken a fancy to Degan, and is unwilling to give Degan a chance to try, which is a waste of time. Degan made one appearance a season at AC Milan and spent most of his time in the development team, and such a man has clearly proven that he is not a capable player.

Mr. Wright's failure is not surprising, Deegan found a trial opportunity by himself, Mr. Wright is grateful to Zhang Yuan from the bottom of his heart, Deegan chose not to grow up under the protection of Kaka, since this is the case, as a father, of course he hopes that his son can succeed, with the first club willing to give Degan a trial opportunity, this is a good start.

"Mr. Wright, you are so gracious, this is the credit of Degan himself, I just introduced it from it, there is nothing to be thankful for. Zhang Yuan said humbly.

At the dinner table, Zhang Yuan introduced Schalke 04 and the Bundesliga club to Digan, Mai Xuewen has never been a true fan to be honest, understanding football is limited to work needs, and his understanding of the Bundesliga is very superficial, but Zhang Yuan is different, he obviously has to go a lot deeper.

However, the focus of his introduction to Degan today is not the Bundesliga, the focus is on how to pass the trial of Schalke 04, and he really hopes that Degan can stay.

"Degan, now we have nine defenders in our club, including Bolton Wanderers at centre-back, this is your fellow Brazilian, Kristadzic, Westerman, these two can play on the wing and in the middle, and Hevedes, which the club has cultivated itself, was in the first team last year, but there are not many opportunities to play!"

"Bolton and Kristadzic are both young, Kristadzic is 35 years old this year, so I think you can show yourself well, Schalke 04 is still very likely to sign you. ”

Zhang Yuan first introduced the situation in the team to Degan, especially in terms of central defender configuration, because Degan is not an all-rounder now, he can only play in central defender even after signing the contract, and he is not familiar with other positions.

Zhang Yuan specifically mentioned Bolton and Kristadzic, in order to increase Degan's self-confidence.

Hearing Zhang Yuan say that Schalke 04 has 9 defenders, Digan did beat the drum in his heart, he felt that he had little hope, and he couldn't play for a long time, his brother Kaka's fame brought him huge pressure, and he was a little unconfident psychologically, but when he heard Zhang Yuan's second half, he began to feel a little confident again.

"Next, I have to talk about what I know about you, I used to know in Rimini that your characteristics are good passing, strong team awareness, and good marking in the card position, and naturally there is nothing to say about the physical condition, but I think you were slow to turn around at that time. I wonder how you're doing now?" asked Zhang Yuan, who didn't know what was going on with Degan now.

This question can be answered by Degan, he did not stay in Milan for a season in vain, just like Zhang Yuan did at Inter Milan at the beginning, training with the stars of the first team every day, how can he gain a lot of experience, but he didn't eat a long and wise game to come quickly.

"I think I've improved in terms of passing, team awareness, positioning, marking in the last year, but I haven't made any changes in my slow turns. Deegan replied that Kaka had brought it up to him as well.

Degan turns slowly, this is no way to do it, he is 1.93 meters tall, and his speed is not fast, generally speaking, players with fast speed have better flexibility, Degan happens to have both, turning slowly is not so easy to change, he is not Ibrahimovic, he has been practicing taekwondo judo for a long time, and his body flexibility and coordination are very good.

A central defender like Degan is not irreparable for his slow turn, that is, he relies on excellent anticipation to steal the card position in advance and block the opponent's attack, but if these two things are also poor, it is really deadly, especially in the Bundesliga.

The Bundesliga is more open than Serie A, and the slow turning of the central defenders is deadly, and they are often successfully countered offside.

"Then you have to be careful not to be beaten back, this is fatal! I think you also know! If you sign a contract in the future, I can recommend you to practice yoga, judo and other sports, this is good for you! During the trial, you must show your highlights, otherwise it will be difficult to impress the club!" Zhang Yuan said.

Degan nodded to show that he understood, and Zhang Yuan successively revealed some details of Schalke 04 training to Degan, and he hoped that Degan would start from the details and impress the coaching staff.

After dinner, when it was time to separate, Zhang Yuan hugged Di Gan and said to Di Gan: "Dude, you know that I just arrived in Italy and experienced many failures, right?"

Degan nodded, this is one of the things he admires about Zhang Yuan, who is always not afraid of setbacks.

"Actually, at that time, I really wanted to give up, I felt that I might not be the material to play football, but in the end it was my dream that convinced me, I said to myself in the mirror ten times every night, "You can really ......, you can really ", and as a result, I survived that uncomfortable time, and now I think you really can, and I hope you feel that you really can!" Zhang Yuanxiang was giving a speech, inciting Degan's emotions.

Before going to bed at night, Degan looked in the mirror in the bathroom and said loudly, "You can really, you can really ......"

According to the trial arrangement, Schalke 04 was supposed to come out to receive Degan, but Zhang Yuan took the initiative to call Muller to do it for him, but tomorrow's trial must still have the club's staff take Degan to the training ground.

So the next morning, Zhang Yuan arrived at the training base by himself, and when the training was assembled, Mulder came to everyone with Digan and introduced: "This is Rodrigo Izesen Santos Wright, he will not train with me in the next week!"

"Hello everyone, my name is Rodrigo Izesen Santos Wright, you can call me Degan!" Deegan introduced himself in the German he had just learned.

Degan's trial was very sudden, and the players in the team didn't know anything except Zhang Yuan, and neither did Bolton and Roberto Jr., who were fellow countrymen, know that Bolton and Jr. Roberto knew that this young player was Kaka's younger brother, wasn't this guy in AC Milan?

Since it was his own countryman, Bolton took the lead in applauding, and the others also applauded to welcome Deegan to the team.

Degan didn't speak German, so Mai Xuewen naturally worked part-time as Degan's translator, translating German into Italian for Degan.

Every summer, the focus of each team's training is on physical reserves, and Schalke 04's training focus is no exception, but Rüten has put more emphasis on tactical training, because he is interested in adjusting Schalke 04's tactical play in the new season.

In the past, Schalke 04 played the 433 formation during the Slomka period, and after Slomka's dismissal, Buskens and Mulder did not change Slomka's tactical play, and it was still the 433 formation.

But after Luten took office, he was originally the local coach of the Netherlands, under the influence of the Dutch tactical master Michels, to Schalke 04 he focused on attack, so in the new season he plans to change the formation to 442, more accurately it should be 424, the two full-back positions are quite forward, basically equivalent to two wingers.

His ideal state is that this formation is very flexible, Zhang Yuan, who played on the wing last season, will be moved to the middle of the forward line by him this season, Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi are in the front when attacking, and the two wings are pressed, and Zhang Yuan can retreat to the front waist when defending, liberating the midfield, allowing the midfielder to be more involved in defense, and the two wingers are also retreating in time.
