The visiting fans who followed the visitors to the Bayer Arena fell into ecstasy, and many of them held portraits and slogans of Zhang Yuan, and one young fan held a big-character poster with the words "Lightning boy, you are the only one!"

After Zhang Yuan's transfer turmoil came out, most of the fans didn't believe it, after all, the situation of Schalke 04 this year is very similar to the one in previous years, and the possibility of winning the championship is very high, how can Zhang Yuan go in this situation?! Many fans think that Zhang Yuan will stay and follow Schalke 04 to the peak, he is only 20 years old, and he has enough time to lead Schalke 04 forward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But there are also some fans who are very angry about this, they don't believe that the newspapers and the media are groundless, and many times the speculation in the media in the newspapers has become possible.

They think that Zhang Yuan is a betrayer, betraying the trust of the fans and the cultivation of the team, so there are still a small number of fans who scold Zhang Yuan angrily with slogans in this game.

Zhang Yuan would not have seen this when he sat on the bench, he had never experienced anything like this, so it was sad, he didn't want to be blamed and abused by the Schalke 04 fans he admired.

Draxler, who was sitting next to him, whispered to Zhang Yuan: "Don't be sad, Zhang Yuan! Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, if you think this place is not suitable for you then leave, in fact, it's nothing! Are there still few stars who go out from here?!"

Impressed, Zhang Yuan's first feeling was not to stop being uncomfortable, but to have such thoughts about Draxler.

I really can't see that Draxler would say such mature words at a young age, Zhang Yuan doesn't quite understand Draxler's thoughts.

In Draxler's view, Schalke 04 is indeed his parent team, but he is also very ambitious, he is eager to become famous and hungry for honor, at such a young age, it sounds good to be ambitious, when Schalke 04 can not meet his requirements, Draxler will leave without hesitation.

Even if he loves this team, he won't tie his fate to this team, which is why Draxler can say such things.

"Thank you, Julian, although your comfort has no effect!" Zhang Yuan smiled.

Draxler also smiled, he liked Zhang Yuan very much, Zhang Yuan was not only capable but also very easy-going, by no means some labels put on Zhang Yuan by the outside world, impulsive and irritable, causing trouble, of course, if you want to say that he causes trouble, there will be no fights or anything like that.

After being promoted to the first team, Draxler still did not get the opportunity to play, but training with the first team was enough for him to receive a new experience and improve quickly, and among them, Draxler himself felt that Zhang Yuan helped him the most.

Putting aside the discomfort, Zhang Yuan and the other players on the bench continued to watch the situation on the field, Bayer Leverkusen, who conceded a goal, still maintained the pressure, Schalke 04 is now at a disadvantage, but this disadvantage is only reflected in the possession rate, for a period of time Leverkusen's possession rate was as high as 70%.

The diamond-shaped position of 442 has an advantage in the passing and control of the middle, especially the two fullbacks of Leverkusen moved forward, and the central midfielders received the ball, so that their control of the ball was more calm, and I don't know how Heynckes adjusted, anyway, they will not lose the ball.

Their striker, Toni Kroos, was brilliant and did a good job of moving the ball, but it was probably because of Heynckes' tactical set-up that Bayer Leverkusen didn't cross easily and wanted to penetrate.

This is actually not surprising, Leverkusen's forward group is not particularly strong in heading, don't look at the striker Kiessling, who has been in excellent form this season, is more than 1.9 meters tall, but in fact, his strength is not heading.

Del Diyock is also tall and has a relatively good header, but his focus is also on his technique at his feet.

Helmers broke out last season just after joining Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 21 goals in the league, but unfortunately he suffered a serious injury last summer, and as a result, he has just returned to recuperate, and his form is not ideal.

Judging from the game so far, Leverkusen's two strikers Helmers and Derdyyok are not in good form, and the opportunity is still there, but they have squandered it.

So in fact, Leverkusen does not pose much of a threat to Schalke 04, but it only causes Neuer to have to concentrate at all times and not be able to walk around like Adler on the other side.

At half-time, Schalke 04's passive situation did not improve, and the situation of Bayer Leverkusen falling behind still did not improve.

At halftime, Magath called Zhang Yuan.

"In the second half, I plan to let you play, you will replace Kevin as a left winger after you get on the field, Kevin will return to the center position, you don't retreat too much, our strategy is to defend and counterattack, you have to find cooperation with Kevin in the front court, improve the speed of counterattack!"

Magath no longer has any illusions that his team will be able to bring back the midfield disadvantage, so he simply made up his mind to defend and play defensive counterattacks, and Zhang Yuan's weapon has a place to use.

Edu was replaced, he didn't have Zhang Yuan's excellent breakthrough ability, nor speed, and his skills were completely inferior to the team, no matter how good his skills were as a striker, it would be good if he had excellent skills in the midfield, maybe he could help the team control the midfield.

When it came to the tactical arrangement in the locker room, Magath made the above adjustments and reassigned tasks to everyone.

Edu has nothing to say, not only Zhang Yuan is in good shape this season, but another striker Kuranyi is also in good shape, he can only be a substitute role during the winter break, originally thought that Zhang Yuan had a falling out with Magath, and he would get more opportunities, in fact, he got it, but he didn't grasp it.

After the break, before kick-off, Schalke 04 made a substitution adjustment, and Zhang Yuan replaced Edu.

Bayer Leverkusen also made substitution adjustments, Kadlec replaced Schwab, Schwab was a yellow card, and in the second half, Leverkusen was going to attack strongly, and it was a very big hidden danger for the fullback to have a card, so Heynckes replaced him.

Another substitution was the replacement of Helmers with Lars Bender.

In this way, Bayer Leverkusen's formation has been changed to the 4231, which they are better at, and the front court has increased the number of points and strength on both sides, which is intended to be the rhythm of the attack.

However, seeing Zhang Yuan on the field, Heynckes was inevitably a little worried, and a few minutes later he found out that Zhang Yuan was playing as a left winger, and while feeling fortunate, he was also vigilant in his heart, and planned to reassign Kadlec to the task.

Originally, he had intended to press both sides even higher, but now he had to tell Kadlec not to press too high, always noting that he also had to look nervous.

Taking advantage of Leverkusen's main attack, Heynckes called Kadlec to his side and told him what he thought.

Kadlec listened to Heynckes' instructions and stopped pressing too much, Zhang Yuan was always afraid of him, and Zhang Yuan had no intention of returning to defense after he came on the field, and he stood in Leverkusen's half, and Kuranyi was more active than him in defense.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that this must be Magath's tactical arrangement, that is, to use Zhang Yuan's speed to counterattack.

Heynckes didn't say that he should not be pressed at all, only that he had to pay attention to Zhang Yuan, but Kadletz looked at Zhang Yuan to death in the execution of this point, and it didn't matter if he pressed it or not.

As a result, Bayer Leverkusen's right flank was denied support from Kadlec, and they switched to the left.

Soon Zhang Yuan got a chance to counterattack, in the 60th minute, Schalke 04 broke the ball in the backfield, Matip found Zhang Yuan on the left side with a long pass, although Zhang Yuan successfully unloaded the football, but was forced by Kadlec to complete the turn, he pulled too far aside, the direction of the reversal was very limited, so he did not choose to pass, but to protect the ball.

Passing the ball back to Rakitic, after receiving the ball, Rakitic directly plugged it to the left welt, to put it bluntly, he wanted to use Zhang Yuan's abundant energy to force Kadlec with speed.

Kadlec didn't know the situation behind him, and when he saw Zhang Yuan, who had rushed out around the body, he chose to pull people to foul, and he couldn't beat Zhang Yuan at the same speed, and at this moment he didn't dare to let Zhang Yuan chase down, so he fouled.

After the foul, Kadlec pulled Zhang Yuan up quite kindly, he was not really friendly, he just wanted the referee to reduce his punishment.

Verbal warnings are inevitable to be honest, but today the referee gave Kadlec a yellow card as if he was playing against Bayer Leverkusen on the right flank.

Kadlec surrounded the referee to argue, I confessed to the foul, but is it too much for you to give a yellow card directly?!

The referee explained to him that this was a very dangerous attack by Schalke 04, and if you don't hold Zhang Yuan, Schalke 04 has a great chance of posing a threat to your goal, so it's no problem for me to give you a yellow card. (To be continued.) )
