But Zhang Yuan remembered Anna, yes, Anna is the one who really accompanies him to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve, because Anna knows the Spring Festival.

I won't be lonely for the Chinese New Year this year, with Mai Xuewen here, I will definitely not be lonely, Docilia now has a job in Milan I don't know if she will come.

The two big men are really not interesting for the New Year, Zhang Yuan thought of Anna again, although the two people usually chat, but Zhang Yuan actually didn't know a lot about Anna, only knew that he was learning music, as for other information Zhang Yuan was really careless, so many times chatted he didn't ask, and Anna only met once in the Chinese New Year's Eve last year, he still remembered Anna's face, very beautiful, haha, if you find Anna as a girlfriend is not bad Oh, Zhang Yuan's young heart began to stir, beasts, how old are people, girlfriend, early love, this is not good。

Anyway, Zhang Yuan wrote down one thing in his heart, he must call Anna during the Chinese New Year and wish her a happy holiday.

After the big win over Stuttgart, Schalke 04 accumulated 32 points, but the front of Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen both won, they can only continue to be fifth, the gap is still two points, the top two Bremen lost 36 points to rank second, Bayern Munich won away again and accumulated 39 points to rank first, and finally took the lead, leaving Bremen three points.

Judging from the standings, Schalke 04 is not too far away from the front, 7 points away from the giant Bayern Munich, and it may be difficult to narrow it in Bayern Munich's state, but it is only 4 points away from the second place Werder Bremen, and it may not be without opportunities.

After a day off for the team, the team officially entered the preparation for Dortmund, the whole team was in a tense atmosphere, the Ruhr derby, no matter how many rankings the two teams ranked, this is a heavyweight game, the grievances between the two teams are really not a page or two can be clear, in fact, as a player, you may not be so serious about the grievances between the teams, but there is one thing that has caused the players of Schalke 04 to be full of anger now.

This was the penultimate round of last season's title race, the 33rd round, when Schalke 04 was still in first place, and Stuttgart were in second place with one point less than them. The 33rd round happened to be the Ruhr derby, Schalke 04 challenged Dortmund away, and was defeated by Dortmund with a score of 2:0, although Schalke 04 defeated Bielefeld in the final 34th round, but finally lost the championship.

It can be said that last season was Dodmund who personally shattered Schalke 04's championship dream, this beam is not only among the fans, but also among the players.

This season's schedule is really a bit coincidental, in the second round Schalke 04 faced Dortmund at home, and Schalke 04 beat Dortmund with a bruised nose and swollen face, and defeated Dortmund with a score of 4:1.

To be honest, Dortmund in the past two years is at a low point, in the face of Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga has never lacked challengers, the biggest threat to Bayern Munich in previous years is Dortmund, they are bullish, they are the only listed club in the Bundesliga, after the listing in 2000, they obtained a large amount of money to buy big-name stars, becoming Bayern Munich's strongest challenger, as a result, due to the profligacy, owed a huge amount of debt, now Dortmund can only save money, the strength of the team has naturally been seriously affected, if only on paper strength, Dortmund is not as good as Schalke 04。

So the second round to the West**** stadium, Schalke 04 naturally wants to continue to beat Dortmund, compared to a championship, the last big win is really not revenge, if you can trample them on Dortmund's home field, it is really enjoyable, and Dortmund must also want to avenge the shame of losing in the first half of the season, the second leg of the competition must be very hot.

Zhang Yuan is not too clear about the history between the two teams, but Dortmund still knows that he killed Schalke 04's championship dream with his own hands, so he also knows that he has to show a better performance in the derby to help the team, and if he can continue the performance in the last game in the derby, then he will really stand firm in the Schalke 04 team.

In training, Neuer, as a native of Gelsenkirchen, is an authentic Schalke 04 youth product, and naturally works harder than anyone else, not only that, but also widely publicizes the grievances between Schalke 04 and Dortmund to Rakitic and Zhang Yuan, Rakitic also came to Schalke 04 this season, although he has experienced a derby, but Neuer still pulls him to instill hatred in him.

Zhang Yuan thinks that training is very annoying, the reason is Neuer, usually this guy is a very talkative person, now he has time to have grievances with Zhang Yuan, Made, Brother Nuo, you don't tell the story It's really condescending, you speak clearly and well-organized, sometimes indignant, sometimes elated, really colorful, and colorful.

The physical confrontation in the Bundesliga is much more intense than that in Serie A, so in the two days of tactical training, Slomka's main passing and running, the physical confrontation in the derby must be higher than the average, if you want to take the ball easily, it is difficult to pass easily, what to do can only strengthen the passing and running, try not to make forced mistakes, like this derby, some referees will choose very strict penalties, and some will choose loose penalties for the fluency of the game, so it is important to reduce mistakes, the more you stick to the ball, the easier it is to make mistakes, Slomka's idea is to let everyone run more, pass the ball more, don't stick the ball too much, Zhang Yuan is the tightest in his training, this kid is used to passing people, but this game is not so easy to let you pass easily, it's not a joke to be injured by the opponent.

During the training, as soon as Slomka saw Zhang Yuan's outstanding intentions, he shouted, "Pass, pass, don't stick to her!"

Zhang Yuan can only pass and pass, and he has not passed a few times in training, so he is not used to this way of fighting, he has no choice but to follow the coach's arrangement, and he doesn't want to lose the starting position.

Then there is the positioning, and Slomka will also correct the running position of the whole team, especially the running position of the three forwards, and Zhang Yuan is naturally among the corrections.

Of course, Slomka will not let Zhang Yuan pass once, and he said to Zhang Yuan after the training: "Zhang Yuan, your breakthrough in the front court is a powerful weapon of our team, I asked you to pass the ball in training, I want you to adapt to this kind of fast reverse pass play, you can't throw your own weapon, there is no passing route, the timing is right, you have to use your own weapon, don't waste it!"

It turns out that this is what Slomka meant, Slomka wants to play a quick pass and cut cooperation, the key is that training is training, and it is really Dortmund on the field where will make it so easy for you to get your wish, so Zhang Yuan's breakthrough ability is still very useful in the game.

Two days later, it was February 7, Zhang Yuan was still training as usual on this day, the team would not give him a holiday alone, lunch Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen were solved at the training base, dinner was not yet visible, but the two discussed, at least our brothers have to go out for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Resting at the training base at noon, Zhang Yuan took out his mobile phone and called his parents and sisters at home, at this time he estimated that his parents had gotten up, rural people generally get up early in the morning, and their parents are not young, they can't sleep, and they will get up early to feed the pigs and cook, all year round.

Now Zhang Yuan is making money, but the life of the family has not changed, as a son, of course he hopes that the family will live a better life, but his parents and sisters have refused, and he is used to a dull life, and the rich don't know how to do it.

Zhang Yuan's salary in Inter Milan and Schalke 04 is monthly, and as soon as he gets the money every month, he will remit it home after half a year, and his sister is helping to keep the money.

Zhang Yuan is no longer studying, Zhang Caiying naturally doesn't have to work so hard outside, and he doesn't plan to go out after going home for the Chinese New Year this year, Zhang Yuan has already discussed with her and Li Jun, Zhang Yuan just gives a sum of money plus her and Li Jun's savings to do some business in Chengdu, and the families on both sides can also take care of it. As for the money given by her younger brother, she was naturally reluctant to ask for it, but Zhang Yuan said that this was a partnership between two sisters and brothers, so she reluctantly accepted it, and she also needed funds to do business, and what kind of business could she do with her own savings. How much did she pay for Zhang Yuan's study at the beginning, but now that Zhang Yuan is rich, she is unwilling to accept it, Zhang Yuan is very angry, but Zhang Caiying smiled and said I pay because I am your sister, I am the boss and deserve to be unlucky, you are the elder brother who is born to take advantage, which makes Zhang Yuan really speechless.

Zhang Caiying and Li Jun's wedding has not yet been held, just to wait for Zhang Yuan to go back when he is free, and his own brother can also be present.

Li Jun went back to his home this Spring Festival, and he will definitely go back to his home for this year last year, although he has an elder brother at home, but he hasn't gone back for the New Year for many years, which is too much to say in the countryside, so this year's Spring Festival hometown is strange and lonely for Zhang Yuan's parents and Zhang Caiying.

Zhang Yuan is more homesick this year, so it is inevitable to talk more, long-distance is a trivial matter, and his parents will no longer want to hang up on his phone, after all, he has not gone back for more than two years, and they say that they don't want their son to be the biggest lie.

As a result, Zhang Yuan hung up the phone and didn't have time to call Anna, so he sent an email on his mobile phone, "Anna, Happy Spring Festival, it's Spring Festival again, I think of you!"
