Chapter 182: The Eve of the Derby
Magath didn't pay attention to what was happening on the bench behind him, and after the restart of the game, he focused on directing his players to press out and attack hard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Jun, who was sitting next to Zhang Yuan, saw this scene, Zhang Yuan's move really frightened Gao Jun, he didn't expect that Zhang Yuan, who was amiable in his mind, still had this side, but when he thought of Zhang Yuan's fight with Lucio, he seemed to be relieved again, the young Zhang Yuan didn't have a temper, but sometimes he was too angry.
Zhang Yuan was furious, he was silent next to him, silently watching the game on the field.
Kostner is obviously not too confident in his own team, and after Wolfsburg took the lead, he took the initiative to let the team recover, and it was good to survive the remaining ten minutes, they needed a win too much.
Since Wolfsburg took the initiative to retreat, Schalke 04 naturally took the initiative to press, and they began to besiege mode, Magath made continuous substitution adjustments, but with little effect, and finally reaped a failure in this away trip.
Zhang Yuan's cold compress on his instep has been completed, the instep is not too swollen, and he feels that he can walk easily, but there may still be problems with kicking.
He didn't give an interview after the game, and he was relaxed, otherwise the reporters would definitely ask him about his madness, of course, Zhang Yuan didn't think about it so much.
Magath was questioned and questioned by reporters at the post-match press conference.
The question point is whether the team has suffered from Zhang Yuan's dependence, after the winter break, Zhang Yuan began to show a good state, he is Schalke 04's most important firepower point, the first four games Zhang Yuan scored in a row, Schalke 04 won 3 wins and 1 draw, this game is also Zhang Yuan took the lead in kicking Schalke 04 to open the situation, but after Zhang Yuan was injured and left the field, the team immediately dropped a notch, completely unable to withstand Wolfsburg's counterattack.
This situation has become strong evidence of the dependence in the mouths of journalists, which Magath certainly does not admit.
"Zhang Yuan, he has been in good form lately, he has made a lot of contributions to the team's progress, he is important for our team, but the team is a whole, not anyone, anyone, who is indispensable! As far as this game is concerned, in the first half and the first 20 minutes of the second half, we limited Wolfsburg's attack very well! But then with the decline in fitness, our players are a little less focused, and two goals should not have happened, I am very angry about this!"
The topic ended, and reporters began to ask about Zhang Yuan's injuries.
"I don't know much about Zhang Yuan's injury now, I hope he is okay and can participate in the next round against Dortmund!" "Magath actually knows Zhang Yuan's situation, the injury is not a big problem, there should be no problem in the next round, but now he has to set off smoke bombs.
"When Zhang was overtaken by the team, he was going crazy on the bench, Mr. Magath, what do you think about this? Do you think he will cause problems within the team?"
"To be honest, I don't know what you're talking about yet, maybe I'll ask Zhang Yuan when I come down! If Zhang Yuan really goes crazy, I won't blame him, in fact, I'm just as disappointed as him, I can understand his feelings! On the contrary, I think this behavior shows that he has this team in his heart, and we need a player like him! As for whether what you said will cause problems within the team, I don't think it will cause any problems, it's just a small thing, and the boys will understand his feelings!" Magath spoke his mind.
As he said, the players of Schalke 04 are still dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan's actions, but no one has publicly stood up and said that Zhang Yuan is not.
Zhang Yuan's teammate and roommate Digan only learned about Zhang Yuan's madness after the game, he was the most direct mistakemaker, a little unlucky, but people who are not unlucky, but he does not use bad luck as an excuse, a mistake is a mistake.
So on the way back to the bus, he quietly apologized to Zhang Yuan, the reason why he did this was not because Zhang Yuan was the top card of the team, and Digan was not superstitious about the top card, but because Zhang Yuan was his closest friend, and he hoped that Zhang Yuan could forgive his mistakes.
"Why do you want to apologize to me? Alas, buddy, I'm not complaining about you!" Zhang Yuan explained with a wry smile, "I was just very depressed at the time, I knew that everyone worked hard! But your God doesn't seem to be very fair to us!"
Di Gan breathed a sigh of relief, he cared about Zhang Yuan's opinion of himself, just as Zhang Yuan cared about what he thought of Zhang Yuan, because they didn't want to lose each other, it was really a good pair of engine oil.
Solving the misunderstanding, Zhang Yuan's mood seems to be much better, and the two of them returned to the bus with laughter and laughter, losing is not the end of the world, life will continue, and the season will continue.
Losing this game had to slip to third place, and the points gap with Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen is still not large, and there are eleven rounds left in the season, and anything can happen.
The next round is the Ruhr derby, the significance of which no longer needs to be said, Magath for tactical secrecy, he also specially told Zhang Yuan not to be interviewed by reporters in the near future, and the team's training is also closed training.
He doesn't want to lose two in a row, which means there is a good chance that the gap between the team and the top two will be widened even further.
The Schalke 04 players don't want to do this either, and when it comes to this position, it is difficult for such a ranking and points not to affect the mood of the players, so the team's preparation is very intense.
Zhang Yuan did not immediately participate in the team's training due to the instep injury, but recuperated at home, during which Zhang Yuan began to decorate his new home with the help of Evelyn, because Anna was going to come to watch the derby this time.
On the 24th, Zhang Yuan quietly received Anna, and now he and Anna are both public figures, sometimes it is difficult to protect privacy, how difficult it is, but the good thing this time is that the paparazzi do not know Zhang Yuan's new address.
When the two of them returned home, Zhang Yuan seemed a little impatient, Anna smiled, aren't you injured?
"I'm already well! I'll be training with the team tomorrow! Besides, hehe, hehe, I'm not injured in some places!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
Anna pushed and half-pushed, Zhang Yuan got her wish, and after some clouds and rain, the two began to prepare dinner.
I have to say that sometimes women are very important to men, Zhang Yuan went to training the next day with a song, and Di Gan, who came to pick him up, joked when he saw Zhang Yuan's happy appearance.
"I must have eaten good fruit last night!"
"Haha, that's natural! Don't talk about me, you're not in a happy mood today!" Zhang Yuan smiled, because he knew that Elise was also here.
"Hey, hey!" Deegan smiled and slapped Zhang Yuan's chest hard, all without saying anything.
Elise definitely did not support Schalke 04 when she came to see the game, even if her boyfriend was a Schalke 04 player, Elise would cheer for Dortmund.
I have to say that this is what makes Degan a little depressed, Deegan really wants to ask his girlfriend if you are really good like this?!
According to Larek's inspection report, Zhang Yuan's foot injury has no problem at all, so Magath didn't give him an adaptation period at all, and directly practiced with the team.
The club's translator is not very close to him, it seems to be a business-like attitude, which is obviously not conducive to Gao Jun's active integration.
Fortunately, now that Zhang Yuan is back now, Gao Jun, a player older than Zhang Yuan, is like a follower, and Zhang Yuan, a little brother, is like a leading big brother.
On the training ground, it is impossible for the translator to follow Gao Jun's translation all the time, Zhang Yuan will naturally take the initiative to help the eldest brother when he returns, and tell Gao Jun about the training tasks, grouping, or something.
Gao Jun will not be embarrassed in front, what he does depends on what other teammates do, and he imitates it.
After the training, Di Gan drove, Zhang Yuan and Gao Jun sat in the back, out of the door of the training base, they were blocked by reporters, Zhang Yuan's license plate number has long been clearly felt by them, it will be blocked every day, a few days ago they failed to do so, only Di Gan in the car.
Today they got their wish, with the landing of Gao Jun, Schalke 04 has become a base camp for Chinese journalists, so there are a lot of domestic reporters, seeing these reporters and fans, Digan parked the car on the side of the road and gave everyone the opportunity to interview.
