Chapter 440: Like an old wife, I hate each other
Zhuo Yang returned from Italy with Madiburg and was faced with a lackluster league game in the Bundesliga against a less embarrassing Mainz, but no one expected that the game would detonate such an amazing uproar.
Mainz and Madiburg joined hands in the Bundesliga that year, and they have stood firm in the past two years, with no obvious shortcomings in the strength of the team, and there are no too prominent places, which are very balanced and have no big ups and downs. To tell the truth, although the strength of such a team is acceptable, it will not be very well-known, and it is not easy to attract attention if it is bland and has no story.
As a result, Mainz's image is not attractive enough, star players and big-name coaches are not very willing to 'deign', and the club has changed coaches twice in the past two years, and this season their coach is Wolfsburg's manager last season, Belgian Eric Gretz.
Although Gretz is not a big coach in terms of results, he has a lot of experience in German football and a wide network of contacts, and when he was a player, Gretz was the honorary captain of the Red Devils Belgium, and he and Celemans are the representatives of the team known as 'the strongest Belgium in history'. The influence of Gretz as a coach should not be underestimated, and he can be regarded as a rare second-heavyweight coach in the history of Mainz.
Originally, Gretz didn't look down on a mediocre team like Mainz, but after he turned his face with the Wolfsburg management before the start of the new season because of the team's tactical planning differences, he resigned angrily but did not contact the next family.
In fact, Mainz didn't take a fancy to Gretz at first, and their favorite coach was naturally the now majestic former player Jurgen Klopp, but Uncle Scum just asked them to think about it. Mainz has also taken a fancy to Thomas Tuchel, the manager of the Madiburg B team who has just emerged in the third division, and has repeatedly poached him, but the 33-year-old Tuchel feels that he still needs to hone and accumulate, and does not want to venture into the Bundesliga so early.
So, Mainz and Gretz just looked down on each other but had no other choice, so they pretended to join hands together.
In fact, in many ways, Mainz and Gretz should be a good match, both have a certain thick history, and are also a little outdated, some skills will not fall into the abyss but it is impossible for Dapeng to spread their wings, they are serious people and clubs, but they are also a little lackluster to talk about.
Like a middle-aged couple who share the same bed and have different dreams but are polite, there is no spark and passion between Mainz and Gretz at all, they just make do with their lives, holding their left hand and chewing wax with their right hand.
Gretz is not only tired of Mainz, he is tired of the entire Bundesliga, it will always be the main theme Bayern plus other so-and-so, anyway, there is nothing to do with him Gretz. His mature and traditional tactical routines cannot enter the eyes of the team to compete for the championship, and mature tradition also means that it is conservative and rigid, which is somewhat out of place in today's vigorous tactical changes.
Graetz wants to see a different scene in other leagues, and the Belgian, Eredivisie and Bundesliga that he has already traveled to is not attractive to him, and his agent is currently in contact with him, with Marseille and Galatasaray as his most likely stops next season.
Although they are a little careless with each other, the team's acceptable strength and the coach's rich experience still keep Mainz firmly in the middle of the standings, which is still the same as before, chilling but also makes others think about it every day.
Madiburg, who arrived at the Bruch Road Stadium, did not bother much, and captain Zhuo Yang sat on the bench in the first half and blew the, after all, the Champions League quarter-finals with Inter Milan in a few days are the most important thing. It was an extremely dreary 45-minute pitch, with the full-main Mains Mainz and the semi-main Madiburg barely showing any bright spots in attack, and the wind blowing from the Rhine was drowsy and boring.
Originally, I was going to continue to grind like this and take a look, but the news from halftime made Uncle Scum nervous. In the other matches of the 28th round at the same time, Bayern Munich led Cologne 2-0 at home, Werder Bremen led Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 away, and Hamburg led Schalke 2-0 away.
The time has entered April, and the countdown to the league has begun, and whoever loosens the saddle and is left a little distance by the opponent will be a troublesome matter, and Madiburg does not dare to be careless.
With a wave of the flag, captain Zhuo Yang and Bacchus Zhirkov changed their horses, and Ozil the big eye and Valbuena obediently vacated their places. As long as he walked into the field, Zhuo Yang had not even kicked off, and the stadium on Bruch Road was already silent, and the hearts of all the Mainz people immediately rose to their throats. Madiburg made a big move, which was an unbearable weight in Mainz's life.
"Brothers, follow me, don't let the guys sitting down below see the joke." Zhuo Yang's greeting immediately drew a whistle boo from the Madiburg bench, and he didn't care about his mobilization for his opponents to hear.
The killing was too famous, Zhuo Yang made the Mainz defenders who were quite orderly in the first half mess up, and only one minute after the whistle, a simple through pass diagonally provoked the Mainz penalty area, and the 27-year-old central defender Manuel Friedrich did not hesitate to kick Ibyševich to the ground.
Friedrich is not only the only German international in Mainz at the moment – he was named in Klinsmann's squad last month, but he is also the first German international in the club's history. However, he is further down in the competitive ranking for centre-back than Madiburg's rotation substitute Westerman.
For Zhuo Yang, is there a difference between a penalty and an empty goal? Of course not!
Gretz muttered from the sidelines: A bunch of idiots. This is the difference between having a superstar pressing the formation and not having a big name, a group of silent players with good strength can play their abilities under normal circumstances, but once the opponent has a killing god in the world, there is no one on the same side in terms of momentum and fame, and it is not easy not to be restrained.
"Ahh What can I do if someone is unladylike? Even if he has great ability, as long as the little kid coach on the other side sacrifices Zhuo Yang's knife, he can push Mainz in an instant. Rather than a phoenix, Gretz really wants to coach a team that is domineering in the league.
Before he could free himself from his depressed sorrow, Zhuo Yang scored his second goal of the game, which shocked the world.
The Egyptian striker Mohammed Zidan, who only has a name very similar to Zidane, is simply a thing that he can't remember, he completely forgot that in the first half of the schedule, when the two teams competed, Pompong David Luiz snatched him like a dog, and he still thinks about it today, maybe he thinks that far away in the midfield is not the range that Pompong can cover, Zidan seriously underestimated the Brazilian young master's ability to grab.
In the last second, Peng Peng was still more than ten meters away, and the next second Zidan's ball was lost, and when Zhuo Yang received the ball from Peng Peng behind the middle line, Mainz goalkeeper Waitcro just threw the ball with a strong hand and rushed out of the penalty area, and he didn't have time to go back.
Sixty meters across the half, Zhuo Yang pulled out his foot and shot angrily, and never saw such a distant elevator ball in the history of modern football.
