Chapter 121: The End of the Season
In the previous chapter of "Pie in the Sky", Mainz's annual income is 57 million euros, and it is miscalculated here, and it is 10 million omissions, which has been corrected...... It's the first time I've made such a big mistake, and the math is too bad.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Ozil? Ozil! Why did Mesut Ozil become an Academy player at Mainz?
Shouldn't he have returned to Schalke 04 from Red and White Essen?
Looks, body shapes, positions, names, all match, this Ozil is undoubtedly that Ozil.
It seems that Mainz has really attracted a lot of young players in the last two years, and even big fish like Ozil have come.
Wang Zhen can even imagine what kind of sensation Ozil can cause in Mainz three years later.
Mesut Ozil was not valued at Schalke at first, but then broke out by chance, and in Mainz, he must be able to stand out faster.
This season, in the transfer market, Mainz did not spend much money at all, and brought in Neuer and Ben Alfa, both of whom are semi-finished products of other teams' youth training, and in the academy, Mainz has received a very high investment every year, and it is increasing year by year.
Since the start of Germany's new youth system, Mainz has undoubtedly been one of the best teams.
After seeing Ozil, Wang Zhen was thoughtful and returned to the first-team training ground.
As soon as he entered, Klopp saw Wang Zhen: "You went to the second team?" ”
'No, I went to the Under-17 training ground.
Klopp nodded: "There are a few good seedlings in U17 this year, and they can all be transferred to the second team next season, and several people in the second team can also be promoted to the first team." ”
"How many?" Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, because he saw Ozil, Wang Zhen didn't see the performance of other people, and he didn't know which people could be called good seedlings by Klopp: "The League Cup game is very early, and there is no holiday this year." ”
"Can you stay in the summer?"
"Huh?"
"The war room needs people."
Mainz has set up a new office, which is responsible for reinforcement, research and compilation of scouting reports, if nothing else, Klopp only has half of the time of other teams in the summer, so in the summer, to find good players, coaches need to negotiate separately, Mainz coaching staff on these few people, I am afraid that there is a shortage of manpower.
"Well, I didn't have any commercial activities this summer, and I didn't have any new endorsements coming to my door."
"Don't worry, this season, the tactical framework has been built, next season, next season is the time for us to impact the league results, if a team has you, Ribery, Alfa, Spasoye, and can't use the record in the league to achieve European results, it can only prove that the manager is not suitable to be the manager." Klopp said, pointing to his nose.
Wang Zhen doesn't think so, although Mainz's style is offensive, but the team without defense can not attack, Mainz new season three-line operations, need to introduce a large number of midfield players, this season's injury control is good, next season's games will increase, the probability of injury will increase accordingly.
On May 21, at 3:30 p.m., the final round of Bundesliga matches all started at the same time.
Wang Zhen sat on the bench and watched his teammates play.
Since it was an away game, the starting lineup, which was dominated by second-team players, was quickly suppressed as soon as it came on the field.
In the 23rd minute, Mintal scored a goal, bringing the total number of league goals to 23 goals, basically locking up the Golden Boot.
Wang Zhen clenched his fists: "Next season, there will be no part for you!" ”
In the 31st minute, centre-back Madias Abel made a steal and blasted the ball into the midfield, Michael Schutte got the ball and then dribbled up to the goal, which was finally scored by Claudius Webb.
The two sides are back on the same starting line.
Faced with such a situation, Nuremberg fans booed the entire stadium.
The direct opponent of relegation throughout the season, their own team had the advantage, but at the end of the season turned over, this game, if Bochum successfully got three points, Nuremberg lost, Nuremberg may have to play in the play-offs.
In the face of the boos of the fans, the Nuremberg players could not sit still and attacked them.
As a result, the second team of Mainz adhered to the style of play of the first team, and came to penetrate the wing twice, which scared Nuremberg not to attack again.
Both sides also played a fire, and fouls increased frequently.
At half-time, word came that Bochum was already behind Hamburg, but the Nurembergers were not going to pin their hopes on anyone else.
In the second half, the scene became more and more hot.
"I thought that Mainz sent this squad to play a tacit game with Nuremberg, but as a result, after Nuremberg showed its fangs, Mainz was not to be outdone, and there are rumors that Klopp promised that the good second-team players will be transferred to the first team next season, which is probably one of the reasons why the Mainz players play so hard."
Nuremberg was never prepared to play tacit ball, and Mainz never was prepared for this, and journalists are certainly the most imaginative people on the planet, and every news editor has an imagination comparable to Andy Warhol.
The second half was interrupted frequently, several players had physical problems, and Klopp used up all the substitutions early.
In the 85th minute, Michael Schutte converted a free-kick for his third attempt of the game.
Watching Schutte score his first career top-flight goal, Wang Zhen knew that a first-team spot for next season had already been slotted.
The little-known Michael Schutte scooped up a scoop of water on the wheel of fate.
Nuremberg's players were frustrated because they had just gone through a failed season, but the fans were happy because it was Bochum who ended up playing in the play-offs and had nothing to do with them.
The end of the season.
The whole team of Mainz took the bus back to Mainz without stopping for a moment.
That night, the team made a summary of the season and held a big banquet, which was also attended by many local celebrities in Mainz.
After all, it is a relegation battle, which is inspiring, since the game against Bayern, the Mainz flag has been planted all over the city, and until today, it has not been taken down.
For three weeks, Mainz has been a city of football.
According to the regulations, the echelon players are not allowed to participate, but Klopp still took the initiative to open up an area for young players, of course, no alcohol, only juice.
Wang Zhen also didn't drink, and Ribery, as a halal believer, didn't drink either, and the two walked around with juice.
Wang Zhen walked to the place of the U17 echelon.
"King!"
"King!"
As the only player who has maintained good form from start to finish this season, Wang Zhen is very popular in the echelon.
Wang Zhen lifted the juice: "I hope you can enter the second team next season, or even enter the first team." ”
"Cheers!"
After drinking, Wang Zhen sat down and looked at the child beside him: "Ozil? ”
"Huh? Do you know my name? ”
"I'm the nominal coach of the coaching staff."
Ozil was shy: "Hopefully I can be a star like you one day. ”
"Am I like this?" Wang Zhen shook his head: "No, you have no upper limit, if your hard work, your mentality, can match your talent, then your limit is no limit." ”
Ozil apparently doesn't often receive such compliments, and is embarrassed: "The Schalke echelon doesn't want me ......"
"So what, they didn't want me back then, and now they beg me to go, but I won't go." Wang Zhen patted Ozil on the shoulder: "I hope to see you at the training ground of the first team." ”
