Chapter 12: A Slap in the Head
"Boys, the first game of the new season is about to start, this season our goal is to win the championship, let's start with a win, come on!" Luten is only 46 years old, but his hair is already graying.
Under the convening of Bolton, the team members formed a circle and shouted loudly: "Come on!" A loud roar lifted everyone's spirits.
Walking out of the player's tunnel and standing next to the opponent, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, the new season is coming, I want to be better, I want to fight for the championship.
Substitute Degan passed by Zhang Yuan and gave Zhang Yuan a big hug, "Come on, boy!"
Zhang Yuan nodded.
When the players came out, the Schalke 04 on-site commentator in the stadium immediately reported the names of today's starters, and the fans in the stadium shouted the names of the players along with the commentators.
When it was Zhang Yuan's turn, the decibels on the scene were much higher.
"Zhang Yuan is so popular in Schalke 04?" Anna had never been to the scene, and was obviously shocked by the momentum of more than 80,000 people at the scene.
"Of course, Zhang Yuan is very popular with the fans of Schalke 04, there are a lot of goals and assists, he is young and handsome, and girls like him too!" Mai Xuewen said deliberately with a grin.
Christiana ignored his ridicule and just refocused her eyes on Zhang Yuan in the arena.
Zhang Yuan, who wore the blue Schalke 04 jersey, still looked immature, after all, he was only 18 years old, Anna smiled, and prayed in her heart that Zhang Yuan could play well.
The players of Hannover 96 will not be confused by Zhang Yuan's face, the last time was that Zhang Yuan almost single-handedly killed Hannover 96, and the price of despising him was very heavy.
Hannover 96 coach Heijin is still in the 442 formation today, goalkeeper Nke, central defenders Vinicius and Ismail, right-back Cherundolo, left-back Schulz, midfielders Lara, Barish, Brooking, Husti, and forwards Hank and Sdelaulaf.
Hannover 96's investment in the summer cannot be compared with Schalke 04, they only invested more than 3 million euros, of which 2 million were brought in Sdelauraff.
Sdelaulaf used to play for Bayern Munich, but he didn't get much of a chance there, so he moved to Hannover 96 this season.
Compared to the last time, the Blacks and Gold have only changed one striker, and the other positions are exactly the same.
Away from home, the arch-rivals Black and Gold still stuck to the tactics of the last time, hoping to revitalize the two flanks of the midfield, and the striker Sdelaulaf took on the role of Steiner, taking over the link between the midfielder and the striker Hank.
Schalke 04 took the initiative after the opening, and the three sapper players in the midfield contributed a lot, facing the Hannover 96 midfield, occupying the top.
Hannover 96's midfield organization is still not half a star away from the strong team, and it is normal for Schalke 04's midfielder to be able to control the situation.
Soon Schalke 04 made Hannover 96 suffer, in the fourth minute, Ernst stole Barish's pass, launched an attack on the spot, and the right side of Rakitic two-by-one, and then diagonal ball cross, Enke attacked, knocked the ball out, but Zhang Yuan on the left has moved to the middle, not waiting for the ball to land, a volley, the ball fell straight to the left side of the Hannover 96 gate, the ball went in.
"Zhang Yuan, shoot! The ball is in! goa............... This is Zhang Yuan's first shot of the game, and the ball went into the door of Hannover 96! We have taken the lead! Let me call together, Zhang Yuan! Zhang Yuan! Zhang Yuan!" The on-site commentator said passionately.
The fans at the scene frantically shouted Zhang Yuan's name, the ball came too early, and many fans had not stopped from the opening shouts.
"Pretty! so pretty!" shouted Mai Xuewen clenched his fists.
Christiana jumped next to her and applauded Zhang Yuan's goal, her face turned red, excited!
Lu Teng had just sat down in the coach's box, and when he saw the ball, he immediately got up from the coach's box, with a smile on his face, and high-fived the assistant coach Mulder next to him to celebrate, he needed a victory too much, and Zhang Yuan's goal undoubtedly made a good start for Schalke 04.
Hannover 96 coach Heijin shook his head, only four minutes, Zhang Yuan's goal was not hesitant to give Hannover 96 a blow, Heijin was very dissatisfied with the marking of the players just now, how could it be easy for Zhang Yuan to move to the middle unconsciously, when Zhang Yuan shot, there was no Hannover 96 player around, and the opportunity to get was too easy.
He had to yell at the players on the field: "Focus your attention, don't make any more mistakes!"
After Zhang Yuan scored, he was stunned for a moment, and then ran to the corner kick area in ecstasy and knelt down, and then kicked on the corner flag, cool!
Suddenly he remembered Anna, yes, I should have celebrated to Anna, but before he could stand up, he was thrown to the ground by his teammates behind him.
After everyone let go of him, Zhang Yuan got up from the ground, ran to Anna's stand, and kissed with both hands.
Christiana in the box saw Zhang Yuan's move, and her heart was sweet, and the red on her face that had just disappeared came out again.
Mai Xuewen looked at it from the side and thought in his heart, this kid, even used this kind of trick, which girl can stand it.
After the restart, Hannover 96's situation has not improved, and it is still firmly controlled by Schalke 04 on the field, especially the two wings, Rakitic and Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan is difficult to defend, has the ability to break through, not to mention the flexibility of running, if you are not careful, you will lose, the goal he scored just now is Cherundolo lost him.
Rakitic is not known for his breakthroughs, but Rakitic's passing skills are good, and the overall situation is very good, and he actually tore apart the Hannover 96 defense with continuous coordination on the side, and his side crosses, Kuranyi's top fight on the front line still caused a lot of trouble for Hannover 96.
But in general, Hannover 96's defense at this time is quite tenacious, the two midfielders have retreated to the 10-meter area outside the big penalty area, and it is difficult to make a difference in the positional battle Schalke 04, Kuranyi's type of striker is a little skilled, and it is not bad to be a fulcrum, and the ability to grasp opportunities in front of the goal is very average, after Zhang Yuan arrived last season, he lost the status of the first brother of the front line, and the ability to grasp the opportunity is not strong, and the goal in the second half of the season is not at the same level as Zhang Yuan.
Anyone who wins the championship has to have a super striker in their hands, but it is obvious that Kuranyi is not, so it is not for nothing that Schalke 04 fell off the chain at a critical moment, this season both the club and the head coach Lu Teng have high hopes for Zhang Yuan, and Kuranyi plays a greater role as a fulcrum in front.
In the 33rd minute, there was an unexpected situation on the field, Hannover 96 launched an attack with a long pass, Hank and Hevedes competed, and the two fell to the ground at the same time after the battle, and Hevedes hugged his ankle with a painful expression.
The Schalke 04 team doctor stepped forward to observe and confirmed that Hevedes' foot was twisted and could not hold on on to the field.
Degan, who was on the bench, saw Hevedez fall to the ground and wondered if his chance was coming?!
Sure enough, the captain of the field, Bolton, made a gesture of substitution, Hevedes couldn't insist, Lu Teng wanted to cry without tears, and now he can only replace Degan!
Without giving Degan time to warm up, Degan, wearing the No. 29 shirt, came on as a substitute for Hevedes, Degan was excited, and finally waited for the opportunity to make his Bundesliga debut, he took a deep breath, controlled his excitement and stepped onto the stadium for Schalke.
At this moment, Mr. Wright, who is far away in AC Milan, is also excited, Digan finally ushered in the opportunity to make his Bundesliga debut, and it is the first game of the new season, he has to sigh in his heart that Hevedez is too injured at the right time.
Passing by Zhang Yuan's side, Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand and hit him, saying, "Don't be nervous, relax, brother!"
Deegan nodded, took another deep breath, yes, can't be nervous, this time he can't play badly, he doesn't want to be a substitute, he wants to be a starter.
Hank didn't have anything to do on his side, he was helped up by the team doctor on the spot, moved a few times, no major problems, and continued to stay on the field.
The two sides restarted the game, and the black and gold also did their homework before the game, and when they saw Deegan playing, he felt that he could force this point, because he knew that Deegan lacked experience in the first division before, and this game was his first appearance, and Hannover 96 could take advantage of Degan's unfamiliarity and specialize in Degan to find flaws.
So Black and Gold began to instruct their players to kick the ball as far as possible to Degan's point, kick the ball high, and let Hank go against Degan. (To be continued.) )
