Draxler is a Schalke 04 youth product, he has watched every Schalke 04 official game, playing a game, he more or less knows what problems he still has in adapting to the tactics of the first team, but Zhang Yuan's national team teammate Gao Jun is different, he can be said to know nothing about Schalke 04. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, it is rumored that Schalke 04 did not start the winter break, but started a long time ago, and the scouting system of Bundesliga clubs stretches very long in Asia, and it is not Zhang Yuan who came to Schalke 04 like this.

It is well known that the first Chinese to land in the European League landed in the Bundesliga, which also reflects that the Bundesliga clubs still have some research on players in Asia.

Gao Jun's contract expired at the end of 2009, and Schalke 04 saw this good time, bringing him in for free and without paying any transfer fees.

The Bundesliga's foreign aid rules are as follows: each club has four foreign quotas, but a maximum of three players can be played per game. In addition, it is mandatory for each club to have at least 12 homegrown players in their first team.

For example, Schalke 04 itself is dominated by local players, and some foreign players even have German nationality, so there is no obstacle in bringing in Gao Jun.

Gao Jun learned some information about the Bundesliga from Shao Jia, Shao Jia, as an old-timer, naturally knew how difficult it was to adapt to a team, so he suggested to Gao Jun that you should listen to Zhang Yuan's opinion, after all, he stayed in Schalke 04 and was much more familiar than me.

Gao Jun had Zhang Yuan's phone, but after all, the intersection was not deep, he wanted to ask, but out of reserve, he never spoke.

Now that Shao Jia said so, Gao Jun decided to take the time to ask and understand, he didn't have to look for time, after the friendly match with St. Pauli, Zhang Yuan flew back to China, ready to participate in the two matches of the Asian Cup qualifiers, one is on January 6 in Hangzhou national football team against Syria, and the other is on January 17 when the national football team went to Hanoi to challenge the Vietnamese team.

Zhang Yuan can only meet the country the day before the game, Magath is reluctant to let go, the last time Schalke 04 and the national team because of Zhang Yuan's small injury incident a little unpleasant, this time in the face of aggressive Magat, the national team chose a temporary concession, agreed to Zhang Yuan to participate in a few days of winter training, and then return to China.

Arriving at the centralized training base in Hangzhou, Gao Jun couldn't wait to ask Zhang Yuan about the situation of Schalke 04.

To be honest, Zhang Yuan doesn't know much about the business situation of Schalke 04, he usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, and what he knows is passed on among his teammates, but when it comes to techniques and tactics, he knows a lot.

He knows that Gao Jun is playing in the midfielder position, and he is also a full-back, but there is actually no full-back position in Magath's tactics, he wants to play a diamond-shaped position, and the two forwards in the middle are closer to the inside, rather than the wing, because he needs the midfielder to have a certain organizational ability and a certain defensive ability.

He explained this to Gao Jun in particular, but he also said that Magat's tactics are not fixed, he changed the formation many times in the first half of the season, and he played a lot of tricks, Zhang Yuan was not sure whether Gao Jun could play the main force here, and it was not him who made the decision.

After Zhang Yuan's introduction, Gao Jun finally has a comprehensive understanding of Schalke 04, staying abroad is a huge temptation, he is not as good as Zhang Yuan, he can go abroad to play football by mistake, and in his heart he is now planning to accept Schalke 04's invitation.

The next day's game with Syria, Zhang Yuan arrived too late to the team, but Coach Gao still included him in the starter, but Zhang Yuan, who was running back and forth, was in poor condition, and the effect on the field was not ideal at all, and he was replaced in the 65th minute of the second half, and the two sides fought 0:0 in this game, and everyone scored one point each.

After this round, China ranked second with 10 points, Syria ranked first with 11 points, Vietnam ranked third with 5 points, and Lebanon ranked last with 1 point.

There is still one final round left, and the Chinese team has already confirmed its qualification.

The failure to win Syria at home still makes the majority of fans feel unsatisfied, no matter how you say it, you have to play the home momentum!

Regarding Zhang Yuan's performance, the Internet is divided into two theories, one is that Zhang Yuan himself played too poorly and should be replaced, and the other is that the coach doesn't know how to use Zhang Yuan at all.

Coach Gao said when answering reporters' questions after the game: "After all, Zhang Yuan just came back yesterday, and he is very tired!"

He was not very satisfied with the officials' agreement to Zhang Yuan's late arrival, and he didn't know what the officials thought.

At least not in his eyes.

Zhang Yuan said in response to reporters that he did not play well, the main problem is his own responsibility, he assured the fans that he will adjust his condition as soon as possible, and strive to give everyone a satisfactory answer in the next game.

Because the Chinese team has already appeared, Magath has a new idea, and his idea is to bring Zhang Yuan back to prepare for the 18th round against Nuremberg.

The first person he asked was Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan was very embarrassed, he wanted to participate in the national team competition, but he didn't want to offend Magat, he could have told Magath that this matter should be discussed between the club and the national team, I have no opinion.

However, thinking of the expectations of the fans, Zhang Yuan finally rejected Magath's suggestion, yes, he did not want to offend Magat, but more importantly, he is a Chinese, a Chinese-born and raised Chinese player, and should play for the national team.

It's not a matter of choosing sides, it's a matter of principle, and in the national team he doesn't want to compromise with Magath.

Magath was annoyed, but there was nothing to be done, but he didn't give up, as Zhang Yuan thought, in fact, Zhang Yuan didn't have much autonomy in the call-up, everything was negotiated between the club and the national team.

Magath also touched a nose when discussing with the national team, the national team originally had a lot of complaints about Zhang Yuan's food, you said that Zhang Yuan had to participate in the winter training a few days ago, we agreed, it hurt Zhang Yuan's state at all, and now he has to inch in, and he wants Zhang Yuan to return to the team in advance, what is this? !

The national team does not agree to this aspect, and Magath will be completely out of play, because these two games are in accordance with FIFA regulations, as long as Zhang Yuan is not sick or painful, the national team has sufficient power to call.

But because of this incident, it laid the groundwork for the contradiction between Zhang Yuan and Magat in the future, and the last injury incident made Magat always a little unhappy with Zhang Yuan, and now Zhang Yuan still doesn't obey his arrangement, and he has a thorn in his heart.

Zhang Yuan will not think about those problems for the time being, the most important thing now is to adjust his state and not leave his physical training behind.

In the training of the national team, since most of the players are domestic, the time period of a season has long ended, and Coach Gao will also train physical fitness in training, but not much, more to organize the team to conduct tactical and ball training.

So Zhang Yuan had to practice physical fitness after training every day, and Gao Jun had already decided that he was going to accept Schalke 04's invitation, so he practiced with Zhang Yuan.

Coach Gao couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zhang Yuan and Gao Jun continuing to practice after training, and the success of others was not unreasonable.

But he thought about it, Zhang Yuan didn't expect to participate in the rest of Schalke 04's winter training at all, so this is the case, otherwise he would rather practice with the ball.

Through intense and busy preparations, on January 17, the national team challenged the Vietnamese team away, the Vietnamese national team is good in Southeast Asia, but in fact, the strength is still inferior to the Chinese team.

Although they still did not have the upper hand at home, the Chinese team playing away from home played with great momentum, and the Vietnamese team stopped the Chinese team by fouling.

Zhang Yuan was kicked many times, but after more than 10 days of systematic training, he recovered his brave state.

In the 17th minute of the first half, the Chinese team launched a fast attack on the side, Gao Jun passed, Zhang Yuan grabbed the point in front of the goal, and took the lead for the Chinese team.

After the goal, the Chinese team is still unrelenting, and does not give the Vietnamese team any face, especially Zhang Yuan seems to have opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, the front line retreats to organize, grab points, and break through everything, and the Vietnamese team can't resist him at all.

In the 43rd minute, Zhang Yuan relied on his super personal ability to shake three defenders of the Vietnamese team in a row, calmly volleyed, and broke the door of the Vietnamese team again, 2:0.

After scoring this goal, Zhang Yuan was not as reserved as he was after the first goal, but ran to the stands of Chinese fans who came from afar to salute, and his gesture won warm cheers from everyone.

He made good on his promise to the fans, scoring a brace in the first half.

Originally, he still had the opportunity to score a hat trick, but Coach Gao replaced him at halftime, on the one hand, the Chinese team already had a two-goal advantage, Zhang Yuan was about to fly back to Germany to participate in the game, he hoped that Zhang Yuan could rest. On the other hand, the Vietnamese team has too many fouls on Zhang Yuan, he doesn't want Zhang Yuan to be injured, and the injury means that he has to fight with the Schalke 04 club, everyone has their own mustard, and he doesn't want to continue to expand the contradictions between the two sides when the victory is in hand.
