Before Feng Quan joined the Hamburg club, when the team was conducting daily training, in addition to hundreds of onlookers, there were some German journalists, as well as a few Korean fans and reporters who came specifically for Son Heung-min. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Feng Quan joined the Hamburg team, hundreds of Chinese fans from Germany and China, plus dozens of domestic journalists, also joined the "onlookers" outside the Hamburg team's training ground.

Although these Chinese have different ages, occupations, hobbies, and social status, the purpose of their coming to the Hamburg team's training ground is completely the same. And, in their eyes, it seems that they can filter out anyone and anything but Feng Quan. Therefore, whenever Feng Quan has completed a brilliant performance in training, warm applause and cheers will erupt outside the training ground.

In fact, for the Hamburg team, which does not have much of a "fan base" in China, it would not have been possible for them to have so many Chinese fans and journalists outside their training ground if they had not brought in Fengquan.

After getting the footage that Lars Bittencourt had prepared for himself, Feng Quan shortened the time it took to do the workout on his own by an hour at the end of the workout in order to increase the time he spent watching the footage.

Combined with Lars Bittencourt's understanding of modern wide attacking players and his own technical characteristics, after watching the footage for a week, Feng Quan's off-ball running and team-mate awareness have improved to a certain extent.

This is reflected in the training, the more reasonable style of play, not only in terms of physical exertion has improved significantly compared to before (it can barely cope with about 80 minutes of play). Moreover, in the process of the team's group practice match, the cooperation between Feng Quan and his teammates in the same group is obviously much more tacit than when he first came to the team.

Not only that, but even the problem of "single offensive means", which was most criticized by head coach Tosten Fink before, has also been improved to a certain extent.

After "learning" from several world-class wingers of European giants, he no longer blindly sought to break through with the ball on the side, and gradually increased the two-on-one, or two-by-two small-scale cooperation with teammates after taking the ball.

In this way, it not only reduces unnecessary physical exertion, but also accelerates the team's offensive rhythm to a certain extent, thereby improving the team's offensive efficiency.

Although head coach Fink didn't say anything about Feng Quan's changes to his face. But judging from the fact that Fink gradually reduced the number of times he stopped training and "criticized" Feng Quan alone, he still saw all of Feng Quan's improved performance.

——————

Although Feng Quan, who has just arrived in Germany, has not fully adapted to life in Germany, let alone met the standards that the team's head coach Fink thinks can play in terms of physical fitness, competitive condition, and integration into the team.

However, in the case of the continuous downturn in Chinese football in recent years, Feng Quan's "sideways" and his amazing performance in the domestic league have made domestic fans regard him as the "savior" of Chinese football.

Therefore, in the eyes of Chinese fans, Feng Quan's stunning performance in the domestic league alone, as well as the technical ability he has shown, should quickly get the opportunity to play in the Bundesliga. And, as he did at the London Olympics before, he will once again "shock" European football.

As a result, more than half a month after Feng Quan arrived in Germany, after "unexpectedly" losing the 18-man squad of the Hamburg team twice, some domestic sports media and a large number of fans questioned the employment standards of Hamburg's head coach Torsten Fink. And, he began to express concern about the future of Feng Quan's presence in the Bundesliga.

Among them, there are even a very small number of fans who believe that the fundamental reason why Feng Quan can call the wind and rain on the field of the Chinese Super League is mainly due to his "perverted" speed and explosiveness, coupled with the low defensive ability of domestic players.

The Hamburg team was able to "match" Fengquan, probably because of the huge Chinese market behind Fengquan. Therefore, the "King of Sprinting" is likely to follow in the footsteps of former international player Ma Minyu, although he got the opportunity to land in the Bundesliga, but because he could not get the opportunity to play, he returned to China gloomily.

However, not long after such a voice appeared, it disappeared in the "scolding" of more fans who were optimistic about the wind and stayed in the Bundesliga. In the eyes of these "supporters", with the amazing performance in the domestic league, Fengquan, who has created many miracles in the international athletics world, will definitely create a miracle belonging to the Chinese again in the Bundesliga.

——————

Although it is not known when Feng Quan will be able to "create a miracle" in the Bundesliga, in the 13th round of the Bundesliga on November 24, the Hamburg team suffered a heavy blow.

Before the start of the game, both the senior management of the Hamburg club, as well as the coaches and players of the team, believed that this round of away games against Fortuna Dusseldorf, who is second from the bottom of the standings, was undoubtedly a good opportunity for Hamburg to close the points gap between Hamburg and the European teams.

But who would have thought that when the Hamburg team had more than 70% possession in the whole game, not only failed to break through the goal of the Dusseldorf team, but was attacked by the opponent's two quick counterattacks and lost the game regrettably.

Not only that, but in the 32nd minute of the first half, Van der Vaart, who picked up the ball near the top of the penalty area, shook off a defender of the Fortuna Dusseldorf team. Just as he was about to shoot with his left foot, he was viciously knocked to the ground by the opponent's central defender.

Van der Vaart, who was about to kick the goal, had already picked up his left leg, so that his right leg took almost all the weight of his entire body. As a result, Van der Vaart, who was unable to avoid the fierce impact of his opponent, sprained his right knee as he fell to the ground.

Van der Vaart, who sprained his right knee, was carried off the field by medical personnel and taken directly to the local hospital in Düsseldorf for examination. Although the results of the examination showed that his knee injury was not very serious, he would need to be out of action for at least a month or so before he could recover.

For the Hamburg team, which already lacks attacking strengths, Van der Vaart's absence due to injury is tantamount to adding insult to injury.

So, with a double game in the coming week, and on Wednesday they will host direct European rivals Schalke 04.

Hamburg's head coach Tosten Fink is ready to take a risk, that is, to advance the time of the Bundesliga "debut".

The reason why Fink decided to try "adventure" in the 14th round of the Bundesliga in midweek is that in addition to the injury and absence of midfield core Van der Vaart, Feng Quan's huge improvement in "fitness" in the past week and the rapid integration with the team as a whole are also important reasons.

Therefore, before the start of the league against Schalke 04, Feng Quan finally made the 18-man squad for Hamburg for the first time......

——————

Since the 14th Bundesliga on November 28 was scheduled for Wednesday, in order to make it easier for fans to watch the game, all nine matches in this round were scheduled to start at 8pm local time.

Although Germany has already entered winter at this time, the temperature is still above freezing, and for Feng Quan, who grew up in the northeast of China, such a temperature has almost no effect on him.

Therefore, when most of Fengquan's teammates warmed up and ran circles around the stadium before the game, they wore a close-fitting warm sweatshirt inside their jerseys, but Fengquan just wore an ordinary football game uniform and appeared on the lawn of the Northern Bank Stadium.

"Hey, the wind. If I'm not mistaken, you're a Chinese, right? Maximilianbeister, who is about the same age as Feng Quan in the team, said to Feng Quan next to him while running.

"Yes, you remember correctly. I'm not Korean......" Feng Quan rolled his eyes.

After that, Feng Quan's eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of South Korean player Son Heung-min, who was running at the front of the team.

"Uh...... I didn't mean that. Best said with some embarrassment.

"And what do you mean?"

"Hehe, wind, you are wearing so little in such a cold weather today, coupled with your excellent dribbling skills in your usual training, it makes me start to change my clothes, are you a player from Eastern Europe......"

For German football, which is known for its overall attention, concise passing and cutting coordination, strong offensive aggression and tough style, the lack of technical players with excellent dribbling, ball control and breakthrough ability has always been a "heart disease" for them.

Although in recent years, the German team has emerged one after another, Tonikroos (Tonikroos), Mesut Ozil (Mesut?Zil), Mario Gotze (Mario Götze) and other technical players. However, among these players, without exception, all have certain shortcomings in terms of speed.

As a result, even if these players are excellent in their dribbling skills, in the absence of sheer speed, it will be difficult for the Germans to rely on individual breakthroughs to tear apart the opposition defence when they are heavily defended.

Moreover, in today's football, where the defensive hierarchy is clearer and the team's defense is more integrated, how to make some fuss on the wing with a relatively small number of defenders in order to tear apart the opponent's defense has become the general trend.

Even FC Barcelona, which has taken pass-and-control football to the extreme, relies to a large extent on the attacks of the two wings to tear apart the opponent's defense. Although Barcelona spent most of their attacking time constantly communicating with each other, in fact, the vast majority of their goals came from the breaking of the two wings and tearing apart the opponent's defense to create chances.

Therefore, at the level of club competitions, in the absence of wide attackers in the team, Bundesliga clubs often choose to introduce some players with excellent dribbling breakthrough ability from South America or countries and regions that adopt the European Latin style of play, which can enrich the team's tactical play while making up for the lack of technical players in the team.

However, due to the rigorous style of the Germans and the high tax rate in the country, German clubs that pay great attention to the balance of club operations rarely spend a lot of money in the transfer market. Therefore, when most of the top technical players in world football are under the account of the Premier League and La Liga, the technical players in Eastern Europe, who are relatively cheap and can adapt to the relatively "cold" winter climate of Germany, are generally favored by Bundesliga clubs.

It is precisely because of some of the above reasons that the Hamburg club chose to introduce Fengquan in the case of very limited financial resources, in order to achieve the purpose of improving the team's attacking strength on the wing.

——————

After almost half an hour of warm-ups, Hamburg returned to the home team's dressing room, led by captain Westermann, to receive final guidance from head coach Tosten Fink before the game began.

Although in the training in the past few days, Fink made corresponding arrangements for the tactical play of the Schalke 04 team and the technical characteristics of several key players.

After announcing the team's starting lineup, Fink gave a shout-out to the eleven starters.

"Michael (Michaelmancienne), Klaas-Janhuntelaar (Klaas-Janhuntelaar) is up to you. As soon as he gets within our 30-metre zone, you keep an eye on him and don't let him get a shot......

"Don't worry, boss." Macchienny replied dryly.

"Dennis [Dennisaogo] and Jefferson Farfan have very good dribbling skills and they are not weak. The defensive task on the left side of the game will be heavy, so you have to be steady at the beginning of the game, try not to press into the opponent's half, and be ready to prevent the opponent's counterattack at any time......"

"No problem, I won't let you down, boss." Ogo clenched his fist and said.

"Milan [Milan, Milanbadelj], Afele is the heart of their midfield, so as long as he has the ball in the midfield, you will go up for me to force him, and you must not let him take the ball comfortably......"

"Tolgayarslan, Rafael [Van der Vaart] can't play today, so it's up to you to organise the midfield. Since neither of their attackers on the flanks is very defensive, when you get the ball, try to move the ball to the opponent's two flanks, and then tear apart the defensive ...... of the 'Shakhtars' (Schalke 04's) by attacking from the wings."

"Sun (Xingmin), today you went to the front line and played a shadow striker. However, you also have to switch positions with Artjoms Rudnevs when the time is right, and when the team is defending, you also have to retreat to the centre circle to help your midfield team-mates defend......"

In fact, Son Heung-min still has some dissatisfaction with Fink's decision to place him in the shadow forward position. Therefore, when he heard Fink's command, he just nodded indifferently, but did not respond to Fink in words like other starters. Moreover, he unconsciously glanced in the direction of Feng Quan not far away......

——————

After finishing his ear-to-face with the other ten starters, Fink finally came to the front of Feng Quan.

"Wind, although today is your Bundesliga debut, I believe that with your game experience, you should not be nervous about it." Fink said with a smile.

"Hehe, don't worry, boss. I've beaten that guy twice in Usain Bolt, so what's there to be nervous about? ”

As soon as Feng Quan's words fell, the starting goalkeeper Adler teased: "Haha, wind." The 'miners' won't compare you to who is faster. ”

After a short burst of laughter, Fink patted Feng Quan on the shoulder and said, "Feng, I think you should know very well what your mission is, I hope your performance today will not disappoint me......"
