After changing two people in a row, Schalke 04's offensive has improved greatly, and Wolfsburg is a little out of breath. When the game reached www.biquge.info 79th minute, Zhang Yuan and they finally equalized. Knya takes a corner kick from the right side, and Degan flicks his head in front of the goal, 1-1!

After the goal, Digan tore at his shirt and roared, a roar that inspired the morale of the Schalke 04 players and the enthusiasm of the Shakhtar fans.

Magath immediately replaced Schmitz with Holtby, a youngster promoted from Schalke 04's academy, and today's game was his first official appearance and first start.

Holtby, who moved from Aachen in the summer and has yet to make a move, is an attacking midfielder.

Magath is very addicted to gambling, Schmitz is the midfielder, and he is obviously not satisfied with the 1:1 score when he replaces Holt.

Zhang Yuan saw Magath replaced with Holtby, he grew up in the Italian football environment, and was very surprised by such an unreasonable and arrogant frontcourt player.

Schalke 04 is attacking very well now, and there is no need to put on another attacking player to weaken his defense.

And the next story is obviously not what Magath imagined, in the 81st minute, Hasebe Makoto crossed low after the right side of the offside, Santana leaned on Hevedes in front of the ball and deliberately leaked the ball, and the unguarded Dzeko in the middle pushed the goal, 2-1! Wolfsburg overtook the score again.

It's really a recipe for stealing chickens and rice, Zhang Yuan is very helpless.

The next time is the climax of the attack, and in the remaining minutes, Schalke 04 began to use the long pass rushing tactics, Kulanyi is the fulcrum, and Schalke 04 has a lot of people in the front, this tactic actually has a good effect and has a lot of shooting opportunities.

Zhang Yuan completed two shots, but he hit the post again today, and he also had a beautiful pick and pass with his feet, and Kuranyi followed up with the head, too much power, and pushed it out of the goal.

VfL Wolfsburg also had a lot of chances against a largely undefended Schalke 04, but the three centre-backs who remained at the back did not make another mistake and did not allow Wolfsburg to break through Neuer again.

At the end of the game, Zhang Yuan spat on the ground and lost again at home!

This is the second defeat of Schalke 04 this season, Zhang Yuan personally felt that Magath's tactics in the final stage were too risky, and on the way home with Degan, Zhang Yuan was not less resentful.

In the second half of the second half, although facing dense defense, Magath had a number of frontcourt players, Zhang Yuan played very comfortably, he was not afraid of intensive defense, he was afraid that he did not have a ball point, and always asked him to fight against Barzagli and Madelen, and there was no such problem in the latter part of the second half, so he agreed that Magath continued to make substitutions to strengthen the attack.

But if there is a degree, too much, Magath will fail to go to Holtby again, at least he thinks so.

But what can I do now, a loss is a loss, Digan scored the equalizer, but Dzeko was undefended behind, and he had a lot of responsibility, he couldn't keep up at that time, so he wasn't very satisfied with Magath's tactics, and the midfielder intercepted and wouldn't be easily beaten by the opponent.

In the post-match press conference, reporters also asked about Magath's final substitutions, and Magath insisted that there was nothing wrong with him, saying that a loss is not the end of the world, and that we will look forward and focus on the next Ruhr derby.

After losing this game, Magath told the players that there was no time off, that it was a punishment, and maybe he felt that the players were not doing their best on the pitch.

Next on 22 September, Schalke 04 played in the second round of the German Cup against Bochum.

Bochum's head coach Coral was gloriously dismissed before this game, playing only four points in five games next season, less than a point in each round, and conceding 14 goals.

To salvage the team's decline, the most direct way for Bochum is to get rid of Coral and is currently led by youth coach Heinemann and assistant coach Walsh.

Zhang Yuan was put on the bench by Magath in this game, and the starting center became Kuranyi, Zhang Yuan's head Guazi couldn't understand one thing recently, that is, it was obviously 442 at the beginning of the season, he partnered with Kuranyi, how did he play a few games, and gradually returned to the old way, single center, and Magath's tactics have always changed recently, and he used 433 in this game.

Bochum, which is in internal and external troubles, is obviously not of the same magnitude as Schalke 04, and Schalke 04 gave his younger brother a 3:0 in the away game, and Kuranyi scored two yuan.

Kuranyi is excited to score a goal, his situation is known to the discerning eye, the single striker, Zhang Yuan is the first choice, he is the substitute, now he can show good form, Magath will definitely have a different consideration.

Magath did not give up the double striker, the real problem is that Schalke 04 has a waist injury, the main defender Jones is injured, and the other substitutes are not as good as imagined, and the victory at the beginning of the season is because the opponent is weak, but then the game told him that Schalke 04 is not hard enough in the midfield, which is why Rakitic has only played once so far.

In the absence of solving the problem of defending in midfield, he chose to increase the number of defenders in the midfield, and the forward line returned to a single centre-forward.

"Zhang Yuan, I will put you in the left winger position in the next game!" Magath said to Zhang Yuan in Magath's office.

The next game is the Ruhr derby, and Schalke 04 is the top priority of the season and cannot afford to lose.

It's a tough battle, when it's a tough fight, Magath thinks so, a strong impact center is needed in the center forward position, Zhang Yuan is not, but Kuranyi is, the performance in the German Cup Kuranyi seems to be showing signs of recovery, Magath hopes to be able to use him.

Zhang Yuan was reluctant from the bottom of his heart, but for the sake of the team, he didn't say anything, just nodded to Magaget and said that he had no opinion.

Magath saw that his heart was not so cool and diverted the topic, "Zhang Yuan, you are the third captain elected by everyone, you should take on greater responsibilities, and sometimes you need to make a little sacrifice for the team, you know?!"

"I understand, Mr. Magath, I will give everything I have for the team!" Zhang Yuan said perfunctorily.

At the end of the short conversation, Zhang Yuan walked out of the office and took a deep breath, at this time he really shouldn't be fighting for the center position.

Schalke 04 are currently seventh in the table, accumulating 10 points, and although they lost to Wolfsburg, they are currently only four points behind Hamburg at the top of the table, which is not particularly bad.

On the contrary, Dortmund have been a bit bad lately, with only one win, three draws and two defeats in six rounds, and they are in 13th place with six points, just one step away from the relegation zone.

Klopp's life is not good, this bad time is only a bad time, in fact, he has no worries about getting out of class, Dortmund's economic crisis has not eased up until now, and the summer investment in the transfer market is not much, only more than 4 million euros.

The top management is absolutely supportive of Klopp and will not let him go because of the derby loss, but maybe Klopp himself will lose the derby and choose to leave, purely embarrassed to sit in the manager's position.

On the afternoon of September 26th, the West**** stadium has been crowded, the fanatical fans of the South Stand have already formed the "Yellow Wall", the fans of the South Stand are the most diehard fans of Dortmund, the stands here have no seats, they are standing to watch the game, the fans have to stand for nearly 2 hours, this yellow wall will appear here in every home game, they will not only spell out the Dortmund team emblem, but also form some strange patterns, in order to deter opponents, as for whether it is useful, then only those who have played will know.

This is the home of the devil, the first time to set foot on the West**** Stadium, Zhang Yuan will also be shocked by the Dortmund fans, but this shock is not fear, but to play a game in front of such fanatical hostile fans, it is absolutely enjoyable, this is like a singing stage full of fanatical fans, the focus is the players performing on the field.

Every time there is a derby, Zhang Yuan will feel like this, standing in the players' tunnel, listening to the huge voices made by the Devil's home fans, Zhang Yuan's heart is still surging.

Standing next to him was Dortmund's midfielder Shahin, and the eyes of the two people collided together, both of them smiled slightly, Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand and made a hug to Shahin, "Good luck!

"Good luck, Zhang, too, but it's up to us to win!" Shaheen smiled.

"Hehe, let's take a look on the field!" Zhang Yuan was not to be outdone. (To be continued.) )
