"I'm complimenting you on me!" Ozil picked up the wine and touched it with Zhang Yuan, "To be honest, you did a really good job at Schalke 04!"

"You're doing a good job in Werder Bremen, too!" Zhang Yuan praised with a smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Can we stop flattering each other like that!" Ozil said, rolling his goldfish eyes.

"Okay, then I said that if we have the opportunity in the future, I really hope we can work together, I believe we will be a very good partner!" Zhang Yuan said seriously, he really admired Ozil.

"Who knows!Maybe there will be that possibility in the future!Too many things in the football world will not turn into will, just like I didn't think I would leave Schalke 04!" Speaking of Schalke 04, Ozil is still a little angry.

"Okay, Mesut! That's already in the past, isn't it?! You're doing well now! Next year's World Cup will definitely be your stage!" Zhang Yuan encouraged, of course, he encouraged.

Mesut Ozil has only just played for Germany now, and as for the World Cup squad, who knows!

"What are you talking about?" Neuer sat down.

"We're talking about the World Cup!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Dude, it's 2009!" Neuer said cautiously, looking at his watch.

"you, can't you talk now?!" Zhang Yuan said disdainfully.

Speaking of the World Cup, Zhang Yuan remembered a person, this person is Hannover 96's goalkeeper Enke, this goalkeeper has a good relationship with Zhang Yuan, but he committed suicide in November, and in the post-Kahn era, he is one of the strong contenders for the main goalkeeper of the German national team.

Zhang Yuan had already returned to the national team to participate in the game, and was very shocked to get the news, and remembered the goalkeeper on his personal website and Facebook.

In addition to Enke, there are other contenders such as Wiese, Bout, Adler, and Neuer, and Adler is the most promising at the moment.

Neuer doesn't want to hear about the World Cup, the main reason is that he is a relatively low contender, whether he can be in the squad is very open, of course, there is still a long time, everything is still undecided.

Stopping this topic, everyone bragged for a while, went home, and deliberately stayed by themselves.

On the evening of December 12, the Bremen Weser Stadium was full of spectators, and there were also many Schalke 04 fans who came from afar.

Needless to say, Magath told the Schalke 04 players in the dressing room that we had to win this game.

For this reason, he changed the formation again, changed the formation to 433, increased the defensive strength of the midfield, and in order to strengthen the possession, he used Rakitic in the midfield.

The starting line-up on Schalke 04's side is like this.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, defenders Schmitz, Degan, Hevedes, Westerman, midfielders Matip, Rakitic, Raphinha, forwards Zhang Yuan, Kuranyi, Farfan.

Matip is a young player promoted by Magath from the second team, a year younger than Zhang Yuan, and has played well in the midfield position, and he continued to have Magath's trust in this game, forming a midfield trio with Rakitic and Raphinha.

Compared with the previous combination, this combination has greatly improved the ability to control the ball and the ability to organize, and the defensive side can only look at the on-the-spot performance, because Matip is inexperienced after all, nerves are a common problem of young players, and no one knows whether he can play well in this game and form a solid midfield barrier with Rakitic and Raphinha.

On the front line, Zhang Yuan returned to the position on the left side again, and Magath talked to Zhang Yuan alone before the game, and he had already mentioned this position.

Today's task will be different, Werder Bremen itself is not weak, and the recent form is also very good, Magath originally intended to give Zhang Yuan more room to play, hoping that Zhang Yuan will use a breakthrough to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Zhang Yuan thinks this is weird, in the previous game against Bayern Munich, Magath's requirements were not such a formation, but today against Werder Bremen came to such a formation.

But that's fine, he likes to have more space and more freedom, rather than being sandwiched between a midfielder and a striker, with limited space to play.

On Werder Bremen's side, Schaff sent a 442 diamond position, goalkeeper Wiese, defenders Bernisch, Naldo, Mertesacker, Fritz, midfielder Frins, left midfielder Hunt, right midfielder Jensen, forward Ozil, striker Marin and Almeida partner.

Looking at Schaaf's rankings, it is not difficult to guess Magath's intentions, he hopes to use his wide attack to suppress Werder Bremen's wide attack.

However, Schalke 04's full-back assist ability is relatively weak, and all he can rely on is the use of wingers.

In the players' tunnel, Zhang Yuan and the starting Ozil met again, and everyone said hello with a slight smile.

After the ceremony, the game officially began, and Schaaf's team belonged to the type of attack that was relentless, but that was not the case today, as was Schalke 04's cautiousness.

Once you get the ball, everyone is not willing to concede the ball easily, since the midfield and backfield are so upside down, there are not many opportunities for the forwards of both sides to get the ball, and there are not many opportunities to shoot.

If you continue to play like this, I am afraid that the audience on the court will fall asleep, which is really lackluster.

In the 20th minute, Zhang Yuan retreated to near the midfield and once again received a side kick from Rakitic. Due to the depth of this retreat, Werder Bremen's right-back Fritz did not follow, but should be handed over to Jensen to defend.

Jensen didn't make a close mark, Zhang Yuan got the ball, and he rushed recklessly to break the ball.

There is only one consequence for him like this, that is, Zhang Yuan easily got a ball and left him behind.

Back Frings came to make up for the defense, Zhang Yuan picked the football lightly, the ball crossed the leg of Frins stretched out, and Zhang Yuan continued to rush forward with the ball.

Fritz came up in a panic at this time, stood in a defensive position, and waited for him, and when Zhang Yuan was about to approach him, he suddenly got up and divided the ball.

There was only one Kuranyi on Schalke 04's side of the front line, but he was stared at by Mertesacker and Naldo, and Zhang Yuan had no room to pass forward at all.

However, Fritz turned his back to his goal, of course, it was not as good as Zhang Yuan's observation, and when he saw Zhang Yuan dividing the ball with his feet, he thought it was real and stretched out his legs to intercept.

Zhang Yuan smashed the ball fiercely, took the ball back, passed from the right side of Fritz, Zhang Yuan immediately kicked the ball with a big foot, straight to the bottom line, and at this time he used his speed.

Catch up with the ball, but Naldo is close to the goal, and the number of people involved in the attack on Schalke 04 is limited, mainly because Zhang Yuan's continuous passing, the time is too short, and the players on his side have not been able to keep up.

But Zhang Yuan had to pass it at this time, and he didn't have to pass it on, because he was too tall and long-legged Naldo, and he didn't want to waste this opportunity. The second is that he is almost to the end, it is difficult to cut inside, and it is Fritz who has already followed him to go back.

Thinking in his head, his eyes aimed, and finally saw Rakitic follow, and he decisively chose to pass back to the edge of the penalty area.

The ball was passed back, but Rakitic couldn't get the shot on goal, and Frins, who was following him, saw that the situation was not good, and pulled Rakitic behind his back, and Rakitic fell to the ground and stretched out his hands to the referee.

The referee was not far away, saw it clearly, and directly gave Frings a yellow card, Schalke 04 got a free kick in front.

Schalke 04's first free kick taker is Zhang Yuan, the foul is at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, as a free kick, this position is not very good, the distance is too close, to have a high arc, it is easy to shoot out of the goal.

To volley vigorously, the chance of entering is also very small, the human wall occupies half of the door, and it is not easy for Wei Ze to guard the other side.

Raphinha covered her mouth and asked, "How do you?"

It would be nice if it was a little farther away, Zhang Yuan thought, but he could only think about it.

"This position is not good, what do you think?" Zhang Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Why don't we do it, you pass it, I step on it, you shoot!" Raphinha said.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, still felt that there was little hope, the free kick was not only a contest of footwork, but also a psychological war, betting that the two sides of this psychological war were Wei Ze and Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and said to Raphinha: "Let's have a deception, now we command Ivan and Kevin to squeeze into their human wall, so that they think that we are going to open the passage through them and attract Wei Ze to pour his attention to this side of the human wall!

Raphinha agreed, and the two men began to pretend to direct Rakitic and Kuranyi into each other's walls.

Where it is so easy to squeeze in, a fool will let them squeeze in, and as a result, the two of them can only stand on the side.

The original position is right, the distance is short, and the people on both sides stand on their own, and the width of the human wall has increased, and the only role may be to block Wei Ze's sight, so it's better not to. (To be continued.) )
