In the 14th round of the Bundesliga, Hamburg hosted Schalke 04 half an hour before the start of the game. After getting the opponent's starting line-up www.biquge.info, Hamburg coach Tosten Fink frowned. Because he saw the name of Julian Draxler in the starting list of Schalke 04.

"Isn't this kid going to take a month's break due to injury? It's only been just over two weeks since he returned from injury? Fink wondered in his heart.

Although German football has not been rich in fast and breakthrough wide attacking players, it seems that German players such as Draxler and Marcoreus have emerged in recent years to fill this "gap" in German football.

Although these players have a rare speed advantage among German players, they still lack flexibility and thus have another "characteristic" in common, which is that they are "susceptible" to injury. Even if they don't suffer too many fatal injuries that can affect their careers, frequent "minor injuries" often cause them to miss some key club competitions and even important matches for the German national team.

Draxler's injury in the previous game was due to a lack of flexibility, which led to his own injury.

In the 11th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 team's home match against Bremen was in the 70th minute of the second half, and Draxler, who moved to the left side of the front, received a pass from teammate Jermaine Jones.

After using his speed to flick past the opposition player's marking, Draxler cut straight inside and fired a powerful volley straight from near the top of the penalty area.

Although Draxler's long-range shot broke through the door for Bremen and helped Schalke 04 to overtake the scoreline. However, due to Bremen's central defender Sokratispapastathopoulos, when he tried to intercept his shot with a flying tackle, he was too aggressive, resulting in Draxler, who was unable to react, and was tackled directly to the ground.

At the same time, because he did not have time to protect himself after completing the shot, Draxler sprained the ankle of his left foot when he fell on the turf.

Although it did not hurt bones and ligaments, for the sake of insurance, Jens Keller, the head coach of Schalke 04, announced that "Draxler will be out of action for a month".

In fact, Draxler had fully recovered from his ankle sprain a week earlier. The reason why he did not play in the previous two rounds of the Bundesliga was entirely because the coach of Schalke 04, Jens Keller, hoped that he could give his opponent a big "surprise" against Hamburg.

Because Hamburg, which barely managed to survive relegation last season, has set the goal of entering Europe this season, Schalke 04, which ranked third in the Bundesliga last season, has become one of Hamburg's most direct competitors in this season's league.

Therefore, with the opponents in the first two rounds of the league relatively weak, the coach of Schalke 04, Jens Keller, chose to hide Draxler in order to be able to play against Hamburg while he was healthy.

As a result, Tosten Fink, who had already completed the team's pre-match set-up, had to say to his players again: "Guys, after the first half of the game starts, don't rush to attack first, wait until the opponent attacks, and then we will fight their counterattack." ”

"Boss, you can't have forgotten that this is our home stadium!?" Goalkeeper Adler asked in surprise.

"Of course I know that, but Julian (Draxler) of the 'Shakhtars' team is in their starting lineup today......"

Although the match against Schalke 04 was only the first appearance of Feng Quan in the Bundesliga. However, due to his amazing performance at the London Olympics and his aura of "King of Sprinting", when the host of the Northern Bank Stadium announced the home team's starting list and read Feng Quan's name, the home team's fans still gave him a very warm applause.

In fact, the "enthusiasm" of Hamburg fans for Feng Quan is not entirely due to his achievements in athletics, but also full of hope that he can create new miracles for the team they support in the Bundesliga. Although they haven't seen the "King of Sprints" in action, the fact that he has been in the starting line-up by head coach Fink less than three weeks ago is enough to make a difference

They were looking forward to it.

"Wind No. 20 – Full ——!" When Feng Quan's name came from the mouth of the host of the scene to the ears of the Schalke 04 team players who were standing in the players' tunnel and were about to play with the referee, the captain of the team, Benedikth?Wedes, patted the shoulder of the Japanese player Atsutouchida next to him, smiled and said: "Uchida-kun, that guy's speed is enough for you......"

"Hehe, don't worry, boss, I'm not Usain Bolt, so I won't be faster than him."

At 20 o'clock in the evening of November 28, German time, the 14th round of the Bundesliga Hamburg team hosted Schalke 04 team, and the referee's whistle finally began.

Although Draxler is nominally a left winger or attacking midfielder on the left side of Schalke 04, he is actually capable of playing all positions up front, but he often switches positions with Ibrahimafellay, a "midfielder" who can also play multiple positions up front.

No, before the game officially began, Draxler "robbed" Afelai's job and stood in the center circle, ready to tee off with Huntelaar.

Huntelaar, who was standing next to the kick-off, knocked the football to Draxler next to him, and ran straight towards the Hamburg team's penalty area. For a point-grabbing shooter like Huntelaar, only the opponent's penalty area is where he can really show his talents.

As soon as the game began, Schalke 04, which won the right to kick off, launched a fierce attack on the hinterland of the Hamburg team.

After receiving a pass from Huntelaar, Draxler was ready to dribble the ball alone and break through the Hamburg half.

However, before Draxler could break out of the center circle with the ball, Hamburg's No. 10 striker Ruudnev rushed in front of him and was ready to press.

In the face of Rudneves' pressing, Draxler changed direction to the left and got rid of the opponent's entanglement. Immediately afterwards, just when Son Heung-min, who played as a shadow striker in this game, was about to continue to press forward, Draxler distributed the ball to the feet of Afelai on the left side. And, after passing the ball, he also ran in the direction of the left wing.

After seeing Draxler running to the left, Afelai, who had the ball, understood the lateral dribble towards the middle.

And when Hamburg's defender Badelli, according to head coach Fink's pre-game instructions, quickly approached Afelai, but Afelai broke through to the right side and shook off Badelli's center of gravity, and suddenly dunked the ball back with his right foot. Then, with the inside of his left foot, he played a half-high ball back to Draxler's feet again.

After receiving Afelai's pass, Draxler made two feints to step on his bike and cut straight into the box.

When Hamburg's right-back Dickmeier adjusted his center of gravity to block Draxler's way, he suddenly slammed the ball with his right foot, and then used the inside of his left foot to gently knock the ball towards the left side of Dickmeier's body, and then burst through the right side of the opponent's body.

Then, before Westerman could come over to make up for it, Draxler curled a shot into the far corner from a small angle......
