Chapter 17: Return to Mainz
"Forsaken Maniac"
ββββββββ
Wang Zhen is the king of every team he has been to, with one exception. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's at Bayern.
First, Bayern has a king, Allianz King Franck.
Second, Wang Zhen's performance at his peak is no longer something that can be described by the word king.
In Bayern, fans call Wang Zhen that god. the.oneγ The literal translation is the savior.
In the summer of 2014, Wang Zhen refused to sign a new contract with Manchester United and returned to Mainz instead.
At that time, the entire Bundesliga media exploded.
The headline on the front page of the Munich Zeitung read: "Twilight Returns." β
The front page of the Frankfurter Zeitung read: "The King returns." β
The official front-page headline reads: "Founder of the dynasty, the greatest legend in Mainz's history returns." β
However, Wang Zhen was not able to make a quick comeback.
In the first game of the 2014-2015 season, Wang Zhen came to watch the game, wearing crutches, wearing special protective shoes and knee support systems, and clubbing crutches.
It's really like an old king in his twilight years.
The song of Wang Zhen sounded at the scene, and it could not be stopped for a long time.
Even, Wang Zhenzhi's song seriously disturbed the progress of the game.
"The home stadiums of the Bundesliga are notoriously loud, and the home stadiums of Hamburg, Dort, and Mainz are comparable to Anfield. Today, we witnessed the whole song of the fans dedicated to a player who did not play. β
Wang Zhen suddenly found that he couldn't go to the game often, because this time it seriously interfered with the performance of his teammates.
Imagine sitting in the audience and enjoying the singing of all the fans, what do those teammates who are struggling on the field think?
This Mainz, the staffing is actually very good.
In midfield, Mesut Ozil is known as a rising star and is a contender for the world's No. 1 midfielder in the future.
In the frontcourt, Lewandowski, known as Wang Zhen's second, is strong, and it is rumored that Bayern is willing to pay 50 million to buy him.
At the back, Spasoye leads, Spasoye is the best German centre-back of this era, the inheritor of the glorious Beckenbauer tradition, although he is much worse than his predecessors, but in the Bundesliga, he is almost the strongest central defender, and, just a few months ago, he won the World Cup with the German team, during which his defensive performance raised his status in football to a great level.
These teammates can be regarded as first-line stars, but because of their arrival, they can't enjoy the love they deserve.
In the following season, Wang Zhen almost disappeared from the field, but news of Wang Zhen came out all the time.
In October, Wang Zhen completely left the brace, which means that Wang Zhen's surgical injuries have healed, his knees and muscles have completely healed, and there are no injuries left.
However, Wang Zhen still has to undergo recovery training.
First of all, it was training without the ball.
Wang Zhen resumed training and imported a lot of equipment used by American athletes from the United States, including weightless treadmills.
It allows athletes to regain the feeling of running without weightlessness, or without carrying their weight.
This news almost dominated the pages of the entire European sports media in the second week of October.
Wang Zhen can run!
Then, in November, Wang Zhen began to recover the muscles around his knees, and the lack of training for eight months caused the muscles near his knees to atrophy and soften severely.
Once, in the previous life that was far away, Wang Zhen had the same serious injury in the same position, but at that time, Wang Zhen had no money for treatment, and the medical level was ten years behind now, Wang Zhen's emaciation was directly related to the injury.
To play, you have to be strong again.
From the second week of November, to Christmas Eve.
Everyone almost followed the media to watch Wang Zhen lose weight from one hundred and three kilograms until eighty-five kilograms.
In the past few weeks, many people have been surprised by the sharp edges and corners that have gone from not being able to see the muscle lines to being like a carved sculpture.
The amount of money that an athlete can earn is eye-catching, but in all fairness, how many people can lose 40 pounds in a month and a half and reshape the muscle lines of the entire body?
Wang Zhen injured his knee, not his foot, so he basically couldn't train during the recuperation period.
And fat is fluid, which means that even if you insist on exercising the upper body, the fat accumulated in the lower body will rise rapidly, and you will still be fat no matter how you practice, and you must run this exercise that affects most of the muscles in the body to achieve the goal of weight loss.
At Christmas, Wang Zhen began to train with balls!
The news also sparked enthusiasm for all media coverage.
Most people will be afraid of a second injury after being injured, and the more they are afraid of injury, the easier it is to be injured, and the injured leg will not dare to exert force, which will cause the other leg to bear too much weight, and the uneven force will also cause the torso to bear the center of gravity all the time.
To see if Wang Zhen can recover his level, it can be seen by looking at Wang Zhen's running and shooting with the ball.
As a result, most of the media is not optimistic about Wang Zhen's recovery.
Some media summarized: "If Wang Zhen can recover eighty percent of his strength, then he is still the strongest star in the world, if he recovers sixty percent, he can still dominate the Bundesliga and lead Mainz to make a difference in the Champions League, if he can only recover forty percent, then in fact Wang Zhen is not as useful as Lewandowski." β
At present, Bayern are actively seeking to buy Lewandowski, only Muller's Bayern played a difficult first half, and the situation is not optimistic, with the ongoing dispute between Ribery and the new head of the head of Pep Guardiola.
The media also warned Mainz that no trade could be made on Lewandowski.
Christmas passed in a hurry, during which Ribery went back to Mainz to visit Wang Zhen, and then said in an interview: "I watched Wang Zhen's recovery training, or that is not recovery training, Wang Zhen has begun to train normally, I hope to meet Mainz with Wang Zhen in the second half of the season." β
Last year, Footballer of the Year was won by Ribery, and this year's Footballer of the Year was also announced a few days ago, with Muller taking the prize.
Because of Wang Zhen's injury, UEFA can finally give the award directly to a striker.
This award is not to say that Muller is the world's top player in Europe this year, but that the striker has not been able to compensate for not getting the Footballer of the Year in previous years.
In fact, it was Messi who suffered, if it weren't for Wang Zhen, he might have won the Mr. Footballer in the past two seasons.
Next, the Bundesliga entered the winter window.
On the first day of the winter window, everyone was stunned.
Mainz sells Lewandowski!
Bayern won Lewandowski to fill the vacancy of Wang Zhen, which was called a deal by the media to return to the powers.
Sell Lewandowski? What the media is puzzled by is that even if Wang Zhen returns, there is not much conflict with Lewandowski, with Wang Zhen's ability to respond and his performance in previous seasons, it proves that Wang Zhen can improve the ability of his forward teammates, rather than dragging him down.
The deal was sprayed by the media.
Then, Mainz responded with a bombshell.
Thirty million to buy Harry Kane from Tottenham!
Lose your marbles!
Who is Kane? Who knows?
Subsequently, some media broke the news that Wang Zhen personally began to fund Kane's education and life ten years ago, and some players broke the news that Kane and Wang Zhen called each other brothers.
Nepotism? Buy Wang Zhen's younger brother with 30 million? Isn't Wang Zhen's son more valuable?
In fact, Wang Xiong has already entered the echelon of Mainz.
Then news from England spread across the ocean.
The statement of the Times read: "Kane broke out in the first half of the season, scored ten goals and was the only candidate for the best in the Premier League this season. β
It was widely reprinted by the German media, and it turned out that Kane was the brightest new star in the Premier League this season.
At the age of twenty-one, he scored ten goals in half a season, which is comparable to Wang Zhen in the 2004-2005 season ten seasons ago.
In fact, if Kane doesn't leave, then he will be at the top of the Premier League's scorer list next season, which is the beginning of a real replica of Wang Zhen's legendary career.
Kane arrived in Mainz and lived in Ribery's house, next to Wang Zhen.
Next, Wang Zhen personally took Harry Kane to start the winter break training.
The media called this scene an account of the aftermath.
"Wang Zhen is actively cultivating a new center forward for Mainz, does this mean that Wang Zhen is leaving the court in his prime?"
February, Mainz's first game of the second half of the season.
Kane is extremely positive and constantly looking to link up with his team-mates.
After watching the first half of the game intuitively, the media gave Kane the nickname "One-third Wang Zhen".
Not one-third of Wang Zhen's strength, but one-third of Wang Zhen's speed.
Wang Zhen is the world's largest open-closer, the fastest player with the largest range of various technical movements.
And Kane, who is used to watching Wang Zhen's games, feels that he is Wang Zhen who is two-thirds slower.
All kinds of techniques were learned by Wang Zhen, but the speed was much slower.
However, it is this strange slow pace that Kane's shot is terrifying.
The media ridiculed: "The goalkeeper has not adapted to such a slow pace and has made mistakes repeatedly." β
However, Kane will tell the media with the actual situation that every goalkeeper will never want to adapt to this pace for the rest of his life.
In the second half, Kane scored a goal that was the only goal of the game for both sides.
"Hamburg was a guest at Mainz, and Mainz's new striker made a quick contribution and won the game 1-0."
This speed, with quotation marks.
The German media began to ridicule Hamburg's goalkeeper for his lack of adaptability.
But the problem arose, in the second week, Kane played in the Champions League with Mainz, against Shakhtar.
Kane has scored again!
No goalkeeper on the planet can adapt to Kane's rhythm, Kane's rhythm doesn't feel like he's a good player, but his goal percentage tells everyone that he's a good player.
That's embarrassing.
In the second week, Kane was out of action for the weekend league, and in the third week, the league continued, and Kane scored again!
There's a ghost!
Lewandowski, who joined Bayern, is known as the successor of Wang Zhen in the Bundesliga, and after joining the new team, he played a total of four games and scored only one goal.
Kane played three games and scored three goals?
The Frankfurter Zeitung gave their assessment: "There are two people in the world who are the best at discovering players, one is Jurgen Klopp and the other is Wang Zhen. When Klopp and Wang Zhen have their eyes on a player at the same time, this player is 100% a genius and by no means a parallel import. Mainz bought Lewandowski for 50 million and Kane for 30 million, making 20 million back and forth, and another goal machine. β
And who is the goal machine?
It's Wang Zhen.
In February 2015, after a year, Wang Zhen announced his comeback.
Within five minutes of issuing the statement, Facebook received 720,000 likes, and the official Twitter account was retweeted 120,000 times and liked 680,000 times.
In just one hour, more than 10 million views, just one day, it has become the hottest topic in the world this month.
Wang Zhen finally returned.
Is it Wang Zhen's return, or is it the return of the overlord of the forbidden area? See.
