The day after the competition, Zhang Yuan sent Mr. Xie and his entourage out of Germany, and seeing that Zhang Yuan was still calling a car, Mr. Xie joked: "Your baby, why don't you give yourself a whole car if you have so much money?"

Hoffman once said once that he could teach Zhang Yuan to drive if he asked Zhang Yuan to buy a car, but Zhang Yuan didn't have much time, and then there was no follow-up to the matter, and every time it was time to use the car, he had to trouble Hoffman to get out of the car.

"Mr. Xie, I still have the money to buy a car, but I'm not of much use, I usually call him to pick me up when I drive!" Zhang Yuan pointed to Hoffman, "He's my friend, you know he drives a taxi, and he can pick me up at any time, which is also very convenient." ”

"Hey, I still have to buy a car, haha, how can I not buy a car if I have money! If I have money, the first thing I will do is buy a car!"

Cars are still more important in the minds of Chinese people, and the life that people yearn for is to have a car, a house and a wife, and Mr. Xie is no exception.

"Hehe, if you want to buy a car, why don't I just give you one!" Zhang Yuan blurted out.

"Then forget it, the teacher doesn't have much money, but it's not easy for you to make money! You don't want to send me! This time I was able to come to Germany to see your game with my own eyes, and I, as a fan, am already very satisfied! Thank you for helping me fulfill a wish that I couldn't even think of before! Thank you so much!" Teacher Xie refused, and sincerely said words of thanks.

"Teacher Xie, you have a kind of education to me! It is my honor to invite you to watch the game! In the future, if you have time and convenience, I hope to invite you!" Zhang Yuan said from the bottom of his heart, when he was in school before, Teacher Xie took care of him quite a lot.

"Hehe, I'm itching, I'm afraid your wife won't agree!" Teacher Xie secretly glanced at his wife who was taking the child and smiled.

"That's okay, I'll convince her later!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Gu Lin hugged Zhang Yuan fiercely when he was parting, and there was no need for too many words of thanks between the two of them.

"Play hard, you can call me in the big games in the future, but you have to cover room and board!" Gu Lin said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem! If you want to come over and call me, I'll definitely do it!" Zhang Yuan said affirmatively.

"Some of my classmates from high school in the past wanted to come and see it, but unfortunately this time we made an appointment! Next time we have the opportunity to come and see you collectively!" Gu Lin said.

In high school, Zhang Yuan had a good time in addition to Gu Lin, but these classmates made a lot of trouble in the group and asked Zhang Yuan to invite him to watch the game, but unfortunately Zhang Yuan took the initiative to send out an invitation, but these classmates didn't follow Gu Lin for some reason.

"Okay, in fact, I still miss everyone, everyone hasn't seen each other for several years in the blink of an eye!" Zhang Yuan sighed.

After sending off Mr. Xie's family and Gu Lin, and returning to Gelsenkirchen, Zhang Yuan immediately devoted himself to team training.

At the end of the two rounds, Schalke 04 won both games, and currently has 6 points with Wolfsburg, and both teams have the same goal difference, and Schalke 04 is temporarily in first place.

Schalke 04 fans are very happy, although it is only two rounds of games, but the new season is new, Schalke 04 shows a new look, several youngsters Moritz, Kgna, Zhang Yuan, Sabrano are performing very well, it seems that Schalke 04 has a bright future.

Many fans came to the training base to wait for their favorite players, hoping to get autographs, and the disadvantage of not having a car caused Zhang Yuan and Degan to be surrounded by fans after training every day to ask for autographs.

"Kid Flash, do you think we can win the championship this season?" asked a middle-aged fan after asking for Zhang Yuan's autograph.

"Why not?! I think we have the strength!" Zhang Yuan said confidently.

Later, in an interview with Schalke 04 official TV, Zhang Yuan also shouted that we also have the strength to compete for the championship!

He was the first person in the team to shout such a slogan, and of course these words were faithfully spread by everyone.

According to the analysis of the outside media, the consistency is not optimistic about Schalke 04, it is true that they are a strong team, and they only need to deal with the league and the German Cup in the new season, but their transfer market in the summer is too quiet, sending away Engal and others, introducing Kona and others, and Schalke 04 actually made money.

In modern football, even if it is a Bundesliga club, it is simply a fantasy to want to compete for the championship with negative investment, so Zhang Yuan's remarks are only consistent and have attracted questions from the media.

Of course, as the European golden boy of the previous year and a star who scored 20+ goals in a single season, Zhang Yuan can only be said to be confident when he releases such words, no one has said that he is arrogant, and the media can only euphemistically say Zhang Yuan, you are still young, don't put it too early.

In response to the media's doubts, Schalke 04 also had players stand up to support Zhang Yuan's statement.

Neuer said: "We really didn't have any big money this summer, but I believe in the overall strength of our team, I believe in what Zhang Yuan said, we have the ability to compete for the title, and I hope the result will be as we want!"

Rakitic said: "Actually, as long as we can play at our normal level, I think we will definitely have a chance!"

It is rare that Kuranyi also stood up to support Zhang Yuan's statement: "I am very well prepared for the summer training camp, I am also ready for everything, I feel that I am full of strength! Are we one of the strong contenders for the championship? I want to say yes, I am willing to do my best for this goal!"

The players were making a statement, but the Schalke 04 hierarchy didn't say much, and when Magath was asked about his goals for the season, he said rather slipperily: "It's too early to talk about the title, but of course we will work hard for it!"

But the reality is that the story that happened next slapped Zhang Yuan in the face, and on August 22, Schalke 04 played Hoffenheim away.

Hoffenheim played well in the first half of last season, but fell sharply in the second half of the season and lost the chance to compete for the title early.

In the summer transfer season, they brought in a number of players with the support of Hope to fill in the gaps, but Rangnick only won one draw and one loss in the first two rounds, and the record was not good.

Schalke 04 faced such an opponent, but also helpless, the two sides played a relatively open game, I don't know if it is the reason why the character is used up, Zhang Yuan completed 5 shots in the whole game, and there were 2 goal frames.

In the end, they could only reach 0:0 with Hoffenheim away from home, but fortunately Wolfsburg lost, Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg caught up, and the three teams were tied with 7 points.

This draw is just the beginning, on August 29, Schalke 04 was upset at home by promoted Mafreburg, and Zhang Yuan's character continued to deteriorate.

After the game, Zhang Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed, he was also thinking, could it be that his real character had been defeated, why was it so difficult to score a goal.

Onlookers may be able to explain Zhang Yuan's doubts, the game with Hoffenheim, the two sides were very open, Zhang Yuan hit the post twice, but Hoffenheim had the same chances, and their strikers also missed a lot of chances, otherwise even if Zhang Yuan could score, the final draw would not be certain.

In the game against Freiburg, Freiburg coach Robin Dutt unswervingly counterattacked, seized the gap forced by Schalke 04 fullback, and South Korean striker Cha Dury scored the only goal of the game.

This shows that Schalke 04 is still relatively porous in defense, on the other hand, Schalke 04 has actually created a lot of scoring opportunities in the two games, but in terms of the ability to grasp the opportunity, Schalke 04 is still lacking, when Zhang Yuanling, Kuranyi is not working, when Zhang Yuanling is not working, when Zhang Yuanyi is not working, Kuranyi is still not working.

In addition to Zhang Yuan's lack of a goalscorer, which is Schalke 04's biggest problem at the moment, Magath naturally did not have a good face after this game.

In the post-match press conference, he angrily criticized his striker's poor ability to seize opportunities, but scolding was his only way, he had no extra options on the front line, it was not suitable for Altentop Jr. to play center, Asamoah was not up to Kuranyi, and the big buffalo was even on his cleaning list.

2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss ended the game in August, ushered in the national team day, the Chinese team did not have an important event to play in September, after the Chinese team negotiated with the Schalke 04 club, Zhang Yuan did not have to return to China this time, the Chinese team asked for two Asian Cup qualifiers in November, you should always release people for us.

In fact, the Schalke 04 club has no right to refuse in the games including September, but the coach of the Chinese team, Coach Gao, does not want to let Zhang Yuan run back and forth because of two inconsequential friendly matches, affecting his state, he knows that Zhang Yuan is very important to Schalke 04.
