Pre-season media predictions were generally unfavourable about Tuchel's Bundesliga journey, partly due to the short time he had received pre-season preparations, and partly because Tuchel had never managed a senior team before.

That's why everyone is pessimistic about Mainz's trip to the Bundesliga, but Tuchel is not the rookie everyone thinks.

Under his leadership, Mainz scored 24 points in the first 16 rounds, and is currently in the middle of the standings.

Under Tuchel, Mainz's strengths and weaknesses are clear, that is, they are particularly good at playing at home and really know nothing about the away game, winning five of their eight home games and drawing three of them, without tasting a defeat.

Away from home, they have managed just one win, three draws and four defeats in eight away games.

A veritable home and away bug, and today's game just confirmed that, Schalke 04 always had a firm advantage on the field.

In the 12th minute, Zhang Yuan took the lead with a wonderful team cooperation. Farfan got rid of the defense on the right rib and divided the ball, Hevedes knocked directly horizontally, Zhang Yuan in the middle again did not stop the ball and sent a direct pass, and Farfan, who was inserted into the penalty area at high speed, successfully scored calmly in an offside position, 1-0! The whole cooperation of the three players was done in one go, and the goal was quite exciting.

After scoring the goal, Tuchel was still unhurried and still played his defensive football firmly, at Schalke 04's home stadium, the rookie coach's idea was very simple, sneak attack, and a point can be scored, but Schalke 04 must not be allowed to play a big score.

Mainz has been in average form recently, Tuchel does not want to be robbed by the strong Schalke 04 before the winter break, making a big score, which will hit the team's morale too much, and win less than losing.

In terms of the strength of the promoted horses themselves, if there is no big financial support, it is very limited, and what they rely on to be relegated is with appropriate tactics and morale.

And morale is particularly important for them, 0:1 loss and 0:5 loss are completely two concepts, 0:1 is a pity, although the defeat is still glorious, but 0:5 is a big rout, the team may fall into a trough because of this, and the winter break may not necessarily recover.

So there's nothing wrong with Tuchel's thinking, it's pragmatic on the contrary.

With such a mentality, Mainz naturally did not have much of the upper hand, and they spent a lot of energy on midfield competition and defense.

They were on par with Schalke 04 in terms of possession, but they were more conservative when it came to creating chances, not passing forward as much.

Schalke 04, on the other hand, can create chances, but can't take them.

Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi are not in particularly ideal condition today, while Mainz's goalkeeper Muller is inclined to take medicine, resist highly, and frequently resolve the danger in front of his goal.

As a result, Farfan's goal became the only goal of the game, and Schalke 04 ended up winning 1-0 at their home stadium.

In the whole game, Schalke 04 fired 22 shots on goal, hitting the woodwork 6 times, but only scored one goal.

Mainz had only three shots on goal and none of them in the woodwork, making Neuer the most idle player in the game, while Mainz had nine offsides, which showed how well Tuchel's counter-attacking tactics were executed.

A small defeat is still acceptable, and Tuchel also said in his post-match press conference that his team is still far inferior to Schalke 04, and the defeat is certainly bitter, but he said that the team will look forward positively.

On Schalke 04's side, Magath criticized his striker duo Kuranyi and Zhang Yuan, believing that they missed the opportunity to score, but he also said that he was able to win three points, and his team as a whole was relatively satisfied.

On the second day, Bayer Leverkusen, who are at the top of the table, took a win, Schalke 04 was at the top of the table, and before the ass was hot, they were ousted and relegated to the halfway point of second place.

The next day was an old annual show as usual, and a top name like Zhang Yuan would inevitably still be at the mercy of the club, recording Christmas greetings and giving gifts to fans, and the evening was as usual an early Christmas dinner.

But this year's Zhang Yuan's Christmas dinner was different, because Anna gave him a surprise attack, and when Anna appeared at the door of Zhang Yuan's house in a dress in the evening, Zhang Yuan's mouth was enough to stuff an egg.

Anna didn't say that she would come here before, but she just said that she would go back to Italy for Christmas this year, Zhang Yuan's holiday was originally planned to go to the United States, but when she went to the United States, Anna changed her plan and asked Zhang Yuan to go to her house for Christmas together, and Zhang Yuan agreed.

It was a tragedy that a female companion had never attended a Christmas dinner before, but today Zhang Yuan doesn't use cups.

And like Zhang Yuan, there is no need to use cups and utensils, and after several months of stalking by Degan, he finally confirmed his relationship with Elise, and Elise, as a Dortmund fan, could not stand Degan's pleading, and will accompany Degan to attend today's Christmas dinner.

On more formal occasions, it would be too bad to use Hoffman's taxi to pick up people, so Hoffman borrowed a daily Mercedes-Benz sedan to pick up Zhang Yuan and them.

"Look, Zhang Yuan, you really should buy a car! This is too shabby!" Hoffman looked at the two glorious pairs of beautiful people, and then looked at his ordinary family car, he couldn't help but complain about Zhang Yuan.

"Well, I think it's good! Besides, I don't have time! If you have time to buy one for me one day, you can buy any car!" Zhang Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

He didn't have time, it was entirely because he didn't know how to drive at all, he had never experienced the fun of driving, and besides, it was so close to the training base, he didn't need a car at all, he didn't buy a car, and the matter of learning to drive with Hoffman was naturally put on hold, and he didn't care about it.

"If you can trust me, I'll do it for you. Pick a car that's stylish and fits your identity!" Hoffman said.

"Of course I trust you! Okay, Michael, you can help me get it done! First of all, I don't want a car, buy me an off-road vehicle! Don't be too expensive, just a normal one!" Zhang Yuan put forward his own request.

"Okay, no problem! now get in the car!" Hoffman opened the back seat for them, the car was indeed too small, and Deegan could only sit in the co-pilot seat at most, with Zhang Yuan, Anna, and Elise squeezed into the back seat.

It was at the moment when they got into the car that suddenly a group of reporters gathered outside, taking pictures and asking questions to them.

"Zhang, is your girlfriend going to the dinner today?!"

"Zhang, how are you spending your holidays? are you spending Christmas holidays with Miss Rosie?"

"Zhang, can you summarize the performance of Schalke 04 in the first half and your personal performance?"

Zhang Yuan and Deegan didn't even roll down the windows, and Hoffman pressed the horn vigorously, and his voice was so sharp that the reporters could only dodge.

The paparazzi have always liked to study Zhang Yuan's private life, but most of the time Zhang Yuan's life is lackluster, but today Zhang Yuan's world-renowned singer girlfriend Miss Chrisanna Rossi also came to the scene, these people immediately knew, the news is better than Zhang Yuan, and hurried here to squat, but they saw the news.

As a side gift, Schalke 04's defensive stalwart Degan's girlfriend also surfaced, which was nothing short of a surprise.

Although Zhang Yuan didn't say anything and ran away, making up some lace and changing news is their specialty, so it's not a problem.

When they arrived at the restaurant booked by the Schalke 04 Club, it was already crowded, and Zhang Yuan and they arrived relatively late.

However, their arrival has attracted everyone's special attention, and the most important reason is that Zhang Yuan's singer girlfriend appeared in front of Schalke 04's teammates for the first time, with the exception of a few particularly iron buddies.

Who is Zhang Yuan's girlfriend? She is now the hottest new star in the music industry, and her popularity is afraid that she will throw Zhang Yuan off several streets.

Schalke 04's teammates all knew, so when the beautiful Miss Rossi appeared, Zhang Yuan was directly ignored, and everyone rushed to take a photo with her.

Zhang Yuan held Anna's hand, but he couldn't introduce her, so Anna had to keep her commercial smile to deal with these terrible star chasers.

Of course, after chasing Anna, everyone locked their eyes on the thousand-year-old bachelor Deegan again, well, a temperament-type beauty.

Elise was also surrounded by everyone and greeted her warmly.

Elise now regrets that as a Dortmund fan, being "boohed" by the players and female companions of Schalke 04 is really nonsense. (To be continued.) )
