Chapter 45: The Rumors
"Well, you have a point! I see what you mean, you mean that you should take the initiative to exert your own freedom on the basis of teamwork!" Draxler said after a moment's thought. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Okay, the kid does have understanding, that's what I mean, Zhang Yuan gave Draxler a thumbs up in his heart.
"Yes, that's what I mean, you should hit the opponent with unpredictable moves on the field, so that you can easily help the team win!" Zhang Yuan said that the player's imagination, every player has imagination, but modern football always has a limit on the player's imagination, and many managers dream of building a winning machine, which does not give players a lot of freedom.
The result of this trend is that in the past we used to see big games, but now there are very few.
Passing on the scriptures to Draxler, Zhang Yuan also felt that he had realized a lot of things, as if he had opened up the second pulse of Ren and Du, and had a deeper understanding of the game.
The court is originally a battle of wits and courage, not only the head coach has to fight wits and courage, the players also have to fight wits and courage with their opponents on the field, Zhang Yuan's idea is neither right nor right, for capable players should try to expand their freedom on the field, but it is absolutely impossible for all 11 people to obtain this right, otherwise the team will definitely be a mess.
With the international break coming to an end, Schalke 04 is back in normal training for the next round away to Hamburg on 19 October.
This season, Hamburg has gone the heart of Van der Vaart, a player who was called up by Real Madrid, but their results this season have improved.
In 7 league rounds, they have won 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 16 points, the same points as Hoffenheim at the top of the table, and winning all at home.
Schalke 04's away record so far this season is 2 draws and 1 loss, which is a relatively poor game.
It is for this reason that the outside media is not optimistic that Schalke 04 can win away from home, and the continuous winless streak still has certain problems with the mentality of the Schalke 04 players.
In this game against Hamburg, Zhang Yuan returned to the left winger position again, and the performance of the center forward position in the last game did give Lu Teng a new idea, but he didn't dare to take Kuranyi, who is an active international, and was previously a sharp weapon on Schalke's front line, how long has he been coaching?!
Zhang Yuan was not very satisfied with this arrangement from the bottom of his heart, and after playing as a center forward once, he found that he was more comfortable in that position, so he was reluctant to return to the side.
Returning to three interception-type midfielders, Schalke 04, who played as a center-forward in front of the post, went back to the old path, and the full-back who Luten dreamed of inserting an assist failed to materialize.
The game was 1:1, with Schalke 04 scoring the goal from Farfan and Hamburg scoring with Olich.
The draw was not a good result for everyone, Schalke 04 continued their winless run, but Hamburg were thankful that Hoffenheim lost and they waited to the top of the table by one point.
Zhang Yuan's performance in this game was definitely not bad but very good, just one goal short, which once again made Boateng, who defended him, anxious, but after the game, Boateng was still very friendly and exchanged jerseys with Zhang Yuan.
"I finally didn't let you score today!" Boateng said to Zhang Yuan.
"Haha, you're so looking forward to giving it a try next time!" Zhang Yuan took the jersey and said with a smile, in fact, in his mind, it is not bad to get 1 point away against a Hamburg team that is in good shape.
"Hehe, next time I won't make it easy for you like today, I'll improve!" Boateng responded with a smile.
Luten is also satisfied with a point, but the media and fans are not satisfied, counting this Schalke 04 has been winless in 4 games on all fronts.
An article finally appeared in the newspaper calling on Lüten to get out of the way, and the top management of Schalke 04 was also very dissatisfied, such Schalke 04 was not a performance of a strong Bundesliga team at all, and Lüten bore the brunt of the blame.
"Hey, man, I heard there's no one going to get out of class!" Rakitic whispered to Zhang Yuan during training, his mouth turned to Lu Teng, who was standing on the edge of the training ground.
Lu Teng's expression was serious, he must know the news in the newspaper, and no one has talked to him about the opinions of the senior management for the time being, but he also knows that his fate is hanging by a thread now, and if he doesn't win the next game, he will definitely leave the class early.
"Who did you listen to?" Zhang Yuan asked indifferently, he didn't have any special opinion on Lu Teng's dismissal.
"What do you think of what Manuel said?" Rakitic provided the source.
Since it was Neuer's mouth, the credibility should be increased, Zhang Yuan does not have much contact with Schalke 04 senior management, but there will always be players in the team who are closer to the senior management and will know some gossip.
"What can I think, it's my business!" Zhang Yuan could see that Rakitic really wanted Lu Teng to fall, who made him unhappy under Lu Teng.
"Don't you want him to leave, it's good for everyone, isn't it?!" Rakitic raised the importance of Rüten's departure, which may not be good for everyone, such as Engrar and Farfan.
"Okay, Ivan, don't think about this nonsense, train hard! his departure may not be really good for you!" Zhang Yuan persuaded, Rakitic was a little demonic.
On October 22, Schalke 04 challenged the Greek team Panathinaikos away, this is the third matchday of the Champions League, this game Schalke 04 really can't lose again, if they lose again, their Champions League journey this season is in jeopardy, and there is a great possibility of going out.
The god of fate abandoned Schalke 04 again, and the Schalke 04 who was actually ashamed of the shame in the whole game had the advantage, but in the end it was Panathinaikos who won the game, 2:1, the home team won, and the only goal for Schalke 04 was Kuranyi, with an assist from Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan's performance was still active, but his luck today, like the luck of the whole team, was a bit off-the-beaten, as he hit the post twice in the game and missed the goal by a fraction of a second.
In the other game, Inter Milan beat Anososis 1-0 and remained in first place with 9 points, Anososis is second with 4 points, Panathinaikos is third with 3 points, and Schalke 04 is in last place with only 1 point.
"What a **** to kick!" Schnusenberg slammed the newspaper on the desk, and after three rounds of the Champions League, the last place was actually Schalke 04, which was recognized as the second strongest group player, and he couldn't accept this reality.
Sitting across from him was Peter Peters, CEO of Schalke 04 club, who smiled and said: "It's time for a change of coach, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to qualify for the Champions League!"
Schnusenberg decided to gather the rest of the hierarchy to discuss it, and at least the top management should be unified, and General Manager Muller would definitely oppose it, but this is a good opportunity to hit Muller.
The Champions Cup is dismal at the bottom, and Lu Teng has a hunch that his time is running out, and he may not need the next game to be declared out.
Just when he was nervous, managing director Müller called Lüten.
"Fred, the situation is terrible now, the club is very unhappy with your performance! Everyone wants you to resign, but this time I will stop you, you have one more game, home against Bielefeld, you have to win it, you know?!That is your only chance, do you understand?" Muller's tone on the phone was very low, with the strange form and luck of Schalke 04 now, he was completely unsure whether he could win this underdog.
However, Muller is not stupid, he is also implicated in driving away Luten, he tried his best to get this opportunity at the club's top management, if he doesn't win again, Luten will have to leave, and Muller's status in the club will also be affected.
Rather than congratulating himself on another chance, Luten felt the urge to leave, feeling that the club had too little trust in him.
Ruten is naïve, Schalke 04 finished runners-up last season and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, both fans and the club's hierarchy hope that the team can go to the next level this year, but from the current indications, it will be difficult for Luten to achieve this goal.
Before the start of the season, he fantasized about a four-striker configuration, but after the start of the season, for one reason or another, this formation was never realized, and he used three defensive midfielders, but the effect was still not ideal, no matter who the opponent was, it was always unstable, and the scene was painful for the fans and the club's top management.
Lüten obviously wants the club to give him time to revamp the team, but this is not possible and the club will not allow Lüten to take Schalke 04 from the Bundesliga giants to the Bundesliga. (To be continued.) )
