During training, Ribery corrected his attitude and began to consciously find a position to pass the ball, which also allowed Klopp to rekindle his confidence in him and put him on the red team in the competition.
In the nineteenth round, Klopp put Ribery in the right midfield position.
In this match, Ribery constantly used dribbling to break through and play opponents, and then passed the ball.
However, the team's frontcourt and his cooperation are really not tacit, and many opportunities are wasted.
As a result, Mainz lost their first game in 2004.
After the game, reporters flocked to ask Klopp where exactly he had poached another talent.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ribery is a genius, but he doesn't work well with the team.
Once the run-in is completed, Mainz's attack will become invincible, and such a forward line frontcourt configuration is enough to compete with the mid-table teams in the Bundesliga.
Klopp kept his mouth shut.
On 1 February, in the 20th round, Jurgen Klopp put Ribery in the left wing-back position.
In this game, Ribery on the left side was still endlessly playing with the opposing midfielders and passing good balls.
However, whether it was Wang Zhen, Michael, or Benjamin, no one seized the opportunity to score.
So, the overwhelming rebuke came.
The industry believes that Mainz was carried away by the victory and forgot how to play.
Wang Zhen is a parallel commodity and can't score goals, and the first seven games of his career are his peak.
Ribery was just a clown who could only dribble, and he couldn't match his teammates at all.
Wang Zhen is very much like giving a big ear scraper to the person who said these words.
Anyone who watched the game could see that Mainz had the absolute advantage.
In this game, Wang Zhen was also unlucky, hitting the crossbar twice in a row.
Ribery took a free-kick, also a goalpost.
If it weren't for the help of the goalposts, Mainz would have been able to bloody their opponents in this game.
But the media didn't care about that at all, they just looked at the score after the game.
Because of this situation, the media's valuation of Wang Zhen's transfer value has also plummeted, and Klopp was called by the chairman to talk several times.
In such a situation, Mainz welcomed the 21st round of the match opponent at home, Unterhachen!
On the eve of the game, Wang Zhen was lying in bed reading a book, and Ribery was tinkering with his game console, saying a few words to Wang Zhen from time to time.
Just as Wang Zhen was about to go to bed, Ribery suddenly asked, "How do you want me to cooperate with you?" β
The translator slept in another room, and Wang Zhen could only use the translation of the FF system head-on: "It's useless to say it, it's hungry, everything depends on tacit understanding." β
"Tacit understanding?" Ribery threw himself on Wang Zhen's bedside, and Wang Zhen was stunned: "What kind of tacit understanding?" β
Wang Zhen smiled: "You just play according to your habits, just cross the bottom, I will seize the opportunity." β
In the past three weeks, Wang Zhen has experienced 70 games in the FF system, all of which are positioned as Ribery's bottom crosses, and the way he plays to handle the ball, the reason why he did not score in the first two games is that he is unlucky, but Wang Zhen's ability is not possible to make himself stable and score in every game.
However, this time, Wang Zhen felt very good.
Ribery lay down on the bed as if he didn't understand, and by the time Wang Zhen turned around to talk to him, Ribery was already asleep.
The next day, more than 10,000 fans of the team attended the game, and it was almost full.
There was a light rain in the sky, and it was estimated that it would become bigger, and Wang Zhen was very excited when he saw this weather.
On a rainy day, it's a good time to play the sling, the other teammates can't walk on the ground, Ribery can obviously get a lot of balls, and there will be a chance to score today!
As soon as the game began, Franck Ribery showed his acceleration and dribbling once again, passing Honterhachen's midfielders Sasa Janizic and Alexander Stromor over and over again.
The home commentator was also on hand to call on the fans to support Ribery.
Every time you pass someone, it is very morale-inspiring, the higher your morale, the lower the morale of the other party, one or the other!
And the encouragement of the fans is undoubtedly the most inspiring.
In the 38th minute, Ribery received a pass from Christopher Babac and began to look up to see the situation.
Under the rain, Ribery's hair was scattered, revealing his forehead, and the scar on his face made him look hideous.
This is also a reflection of Ribery's heart.
On the right, Ribery looked at Ontehachen's left midfielder No. 11 Stefan Reddy and did not hesitate to start.
In just one step, Ribery's speed almost soared to full speed, and after three steps, he directly threw off Stefan, who wanted to grab a position and squeeze after being passed, but fell into the mud.
After breaking through on the sidelines, Ribery began to consciously lean towards the middle.
Because he did not know Ribery, Alexander did not dare to expand outward, so he could only stay in the middle of the road.
As a result, Ribery unceremoniously slowed down through no man's land.
When Unterhachen's No. 8 left-back Balbaros Barut approached Ribery, Ribery calmly completed the second stage of acceleration, directly crossed Barbaros, and passed the ball to the middle with a sliding tackle action before approaching the bottom line, although his feet slipped in the rain.
In the FF system, Wang Zhen, who has cooperated countless times, can he not know the number of passes of Ribery?
After shaking off the defense in the off-ball run, Wang Zhen rushed to the goal from the middle penalty area!
That's right, Ribery's pass went straight less than a meter in front of the goal.
Unterhachen's goalkeeper, Stefan Bashas, is a 35-year-old veteran and his athleticism is not enough to support his access.
Everyone watched Wang Zhen step on the ground, rise into the air, and rush to the goal.
At the same time as him, the flying football.
The football and Wang Zhen are completely at right angles.
But!
When Wang Zhen flew to the goal one meter in front of the goal, the football arrived perfectly!
Wang Zhen hit the football on his head, and the person followed the football and jumped into the goal!
βTOOOOOOOOOOOORββοΌ It's so exciting! This cross and header is so wonderful that it can be featured on TV this week! The criticized Ribery and Wang Zhen actually played a flawless cooperation, everyone! All of them! No one on the pitch expected such a combination between the two to complete the goal! β
After scoring the goal, Wang Zhen held the football, rushed out of the goal, and pounced directly against Ribery who was on the ground.
In the forty-fourth minute of the first half, one minute before the break, Ribery did the same, and crossed in the same way from the 30-meter sideline, and Wang Zhen scored with a header again!
βTOOOOOOOOOOOOORββοΌβ
This time, Ribery was no longer in a daze, and ran forward excitedly and hugged Wang Zhen: "Can I stay!" Am I becoming a professional footballer anymore! Am I succeeding! β
"It was so successful! Too TM succeeded Ribery! Welcome! Let's go to celebrate with our teammates! Wang Zhen excitedly mixed English with German and French, and said a long list of words.
Although Ribery didn't understand, he happily ran to the midfield side by side with Wang Zhen.
The Mainz players who have suffered two defeats are hugging each other!
"Ladies and gentlemen! I, Miles, are here to solemnly announce that the invincible Wang Zhen in the penalty area is back, and he has also brought a terrifying teammate, Frank Ribery! From today, I'm looking forward to every game in Mainz, fans, we can really expect Mainz to be promoted to the first division, even if it goes to the first division, such an attacking squad can help us to stand on our feet! β
Outside the stadium, the nervous Klopp did not celebrate, but smiled with relief, if he didn't score again, maybe he wouldn't be able to keep his position, fortunately, the eleven players on the field are so reliable!
