Chapter 46: Old Acquaintances

There was an eerie atmosphere throughout the squad, with many players knowing that the next game against Bielefeld would be Ruyten's last chance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yuan knew that Rakitic, Ernst, and Jones were really not interested in Luten's tactical arrangement, because this season's Schalke 04 midfield was criticized by the outside media, and the control was too weak.

These three people were the main force last season, and the midfield of Schalke 04 last season was relatively strong in everyone's eyes, but this season has completely changed, and Ernst and Jones are not happy to be questioned by the outside world all the time.

Ngal and Farfan don't want Luten to go, Engal is the most unlucky, he has only played once for Schalke 04 so far, and his mentor is gone, and most of his positions are to be lost.

Farfan is a little guilty, he has scored and assisted a poor number of goals and assists so far, if he had performed better, maybe Ruten would not have been sacked, Luten is gone and he is facing the same problem, Schalke 04 can play his position too much, he will compete with the rest of the team seriously.

The ninth round of the league that Schalke 04 is looking forward to arrived as scheduled, on October 25, the Schalke Stadium was still full of fans, and no matter how bad the team's results were, the fans always did not give up, but today many fans put up slogans "Luten get out!".

Looking at the slogans of the fans in the stadium, Lu Teng was indifferent, and rarely sat in the coach's seat without emotion at all, and his face was expressionless.

The Schalke 04 players on the pitch did not look very good and were beaten by the underdog Bielefeld.

God knows if this group of players is serious about playing football or not, and Farfan and Ngral are desperate more than anyone else.

Zhang Yuan is also fighting, the team really should win, and if he doesn't win, the ranking is estimated to fall further, and he hopes that he will have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League every year.

However, it is useless to always fight these three people, at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 0:0, and the fans booed loudly, this boo was given to Lu Teng, and now the results of Schalke 04 make everyone unbearable.

Of course, this kind of boo is also given to the players on the field, the fans did not boo the players on the spot, Kuranyi, who got the most boos, he had a very bad game today, followed by Ngal, who is tall, very the field, running actively, but in the eyes of the fans, he is like a fly without a head.

In the post-match press conference, Lu Teng was absent-minded.

"Mr. Luten, I heard this is your last match, right?"

"I don't know. ”

"Mr. Lu Teng, have you been notified of your dismissal?"

"I haven't yet!"

"What do you think of this game?"

"Well, I don't think much!"

The next day, the German media was downcast by Luten, well, as a manager, you should have the consciousness of being thrown down by the media at any time.

Many media listed Lu Teng's three major crimes, the first of which was that the record was too poor, there were too many draws, and the Champions League and league rankings were very unsatisfactory, which completely brought Schalke 04 into a midstream team.

The second major crime is to be stubborn, unswervingly implement the strategy of three defensive midfielders, give up the midfield advantage to the opponent, and do not listen to the correct opinions of others.

The third major crime striker has made him useless, among the main team, Kuranyi has only scored two goals so far, Farfan has only one goal and one assist, and even the striker Zhang Yuan has been used by him, only 5 goals and 3 assists, which is the same as two in the second half of last season.

In short, Lu Teng's failure to leave class is not enough to make the people angry, and Lu Teng's failure to leave class is to celebrate his father's death!

On the same day, October 26, the official club Schalke 04 announced that Dutch head coach Ruten had officially resigned and left the team.

Zhang Yuan learned that the club's senior management took the initiative to resign after talking to Lu Teng, so that the club did not need to pay liquidated damages.

Lu Teng left the team and did not say goodbye to the first team, and Zhang Yuan maliciously wondered if he was embarrassed to say goodbye to the players.

This morning, Zhang Yuan and other teammates arrived at the training base and saw an old acquaintance, Buskens.

Rüten stepped down, and the club pushed Buskens and Mulder out again, as the team's interim head coach, and this time the coach selection did not know when it would be selected, because Lüten's resignation was actually quite sudden.

"Hello everyone, we're meeting again, so I don't have to introduce myself, right?" said Buskens with a smile.

Maybe it's the bitter gourd face Lu Teng left, and the players all smiled, meaning no need, everyone is an old acquaintance.

Buskens returned to the second team after fighting fires last season, occasionally studying with Ruten in the first team, and there is no one in the team who does not know him, including the newcomers.

"Okay, gentlemen, now that we've introduced ourselves, let's start training! Let's get back the feeling of winning, you know? Whoever makes me feel bad, I won't make him feel better! Everyone remembers that I am the firefighting coach, no matter how negative you are, it won't affect me, but I can definitely let you sit on the cold bench under me!" Buskens let out cruel words, he is a person who understands, and there must be someone who treats the game negatively in the last game.

He won't name him here, just know it in his heart.

After a simple meeting, it was team training, which was no different than usual.

Buskens and Mulder watched the players warm up on the sidelines with his hands crossed, and smiled at Mulder: "Old man, we are both hard-working people, and it is the two of us who come out to top!"

"Hehe, you can have my suffering!" said Mulder with a wry smile on his face.

Lüten actually got it from him, but now it's out of class, although he is a Dutchman and Lüten's assistant coach, but he also has an important identity, the old courtier of Schalke 04!

Luten is gone, but he still has to stay to help the team, so it stands to reason that he can't leave this team behind, and he loves this team as much as Schalke 04 die-hard fans.

Buskens patted Mulder on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

'You've spent a lot of time in the first team, what do you think?' asked Buskens.

"On the tactical side, I have some opinions!"

"Yuri, let's hear it!"

"Let's not talk about Fred's tactics, he didn't succeed, which proves that we can't use this tactic, the three defensive midfielders can't control the midfield, the more they can't control it, the more the opposing side will suppress our full-backs, and the full-backs can't achieve the purpose of inserting the attack. ”

"Well, yes, so what do we do now? What was last season's routine?" Buskens said.

Later last season, when Buskens and Mulder were firefighting coaches, they won a wave of consecutive victories and rushed directly to the second place in the league.

"It's still the same tactics from last season, but now I have some ideas!"

"What thoughts?"

"Did you watch Zhang Yuan's game against Wolfsburg?"

'You mean he played as a centre-forward, I've seen it, the whole team was doing really well and he started losing ground when he came off. You mean to put him in the center position?!"

"That's what I mean, I think he can enrich our style of play more in the center forward position, do you think he has a bad header?"

"Haha, the first time I saw him play with his head, I thought it was not bad, but when I got to the field, I found that his header was not good, and now it looks like he has grown a lot!"

"It's not just the header, but the ideas in his head have grown a lot, and he's starting to give himself more freedom on the field!" Mulder smiled as he pointed to his head.

"Alas, a player like him should give him enough freedom up front, because he's a genius, isn't he?!"

"He's developing into an all-round striker now, he used to be a bit of a lonely, a little sharp on the wing, but now he's improving his heading, passing, running, reading the game, and he's fully qualified as a centre-forward, maybe the header isn't very strong, but I think we can consider him playing as a centre-forward......!

"But what, Yuri, don't talk in a slurch, now we're the head coach!"

"What about Kuranyi?"

'He's been in a down-and-coming season and he's been so bad, maybe it's time for someone else to go up and put pressure on him. ”

"Well, my opinion is to move Zhang Yuan on the basis of last season!"

"Well, that's it! What about that Degan? Personally, I think he's doing pretty well!"

"He?!He's probably really our biggest surprise of the season, and he's been doing really well!" Mulder praised Degan.

"Give him a little more chance, Bolton isn't a good bird!" Buskens concluded.

Mulder smiled and didn't respond, knowing full well that Bolton was one of the people who played negatively. (To be continued.) )
