Chapter 252: Internal Tapping
After sending Sun Mingyue and her "spoils" of the afternoon back to the "Tongfu Inn", Zhao Shijie prepared to drive Feng Quan back to the apartment where he lived. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the way back to the apartment, the two discussed finding a high-level sprint coach for Sun Mingyue.
After some discussion, the two decided to ask Jonas Kessler for help and ask him to get in touch with a high-level sprint coach through his relationship with the Sports Academy graduate.
The next day, when Jonas Kessler arrived at Feng Quan's apartment in the morning, as usual, to send him to the Hamburg club's training ground, Feng Quan told the other party his thoughts.
However, when Jonas Kessler understood Feng Quan's thoughts, he told him unfortunate news.
"I'm sorry, boss. Our sprinting level in Germany is not very strong, and even in Europe as a whole, the level of sprinting is not very good. Moreover, since you China can produce an Olympic champion and a world record holder like you. Why did you bring that sprinter to Germany instead of keeping her in China to continue training? ”
Because there was no way to tell Jonas Kessler about his own system, Feng Quan had to prevaricate: "Alas! Jonas, you can't understand the national conditions of our China at all. The girl I'm talking to you about is just an ordinary high school student, not an athlete in China's 'system'. If she wants to be an athlete in the so-called 'system', then she has to give up her studies. ”
However, if she gives up her studies and fails to achieve athletic results, then she can only pray that she can marry a good husband after retiring from the army, so that she can spend the rest of her life in relative peace......
After Feng Quan finished speaking, he looked at Jonas Kessler with a confused face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. After all, the national conditions are different, and the German in front of him will never really understand the meaning of what he just said.
In fact, if it weren't for the help of the system, Feng Quan, who graduated from the Sports Institute, would probably have found a relatively ideal job, which is probably a luxury......
"I can't fully understand what you just said, but what I want to tell you is that it is very difficult to find a high-level sprint coach in Germany. Or, I should say, the same is true throughout Europe. ”
After a moment's thought, Jonas Kessler continued: "However, if you really need it, you can ask my friend to see if he can find someone from the United States or Jamaica to help you find a ......."

In the last round of the league, when Freiburg took a one-goal lead and then turned into a state of retreat, the attack of the Hamburg team, which lacked a strong fulcrum in the front, was almost paralyzed.
It wasn't until the second half, when Cachar was replaced with a "muscular" man, and the players' form picked up, that the Hamburg team struggled to barely hold on to a draw on their home turf.
Therefore, although Fink's design for the Hamburg team is a set of technical flow of "pass-and-control play", but in the context of the team's players' ball control and coordination ability, can not reach the level of the Barcelona team, once the opponent's full line of defense, if the Hamburg team wants to win, it really needs some "luck".
However, although "luck" is such a thing as "luck" in 2013, it is indeed very favored by the Hamburg team. But no one can guarantee that luck will always be on their side.
So, by having Cachar "cameo" as a center forward, Fink realized that Hamburg had to have a strong center forward as the fulcrum.
Although Cachar has solid muscles, he has the ability to act as an offensive fulcrum. But after all, the Serbs who came from the midfield, whether in the running position when attacking or in front of the opponent's goal, have never been able to compare with the "professional" real center forward.
Moreover, if you only take on the fulcrum task in the opponent's penalty area, and cannot really directly threaten the opponent's goal, it will be easier for the opponent to defend it. Anyway, his shot is not too threatening and will only help his teammates to ferry, so just focus on the second point of protection.
Thinking of this, Fink, who was sitting behind his desk, quickly picked up his mobile phone and skillfully dialed a number.
A moment later, when the other person's voice came from the phone, Fink spoke, "Adrian (Hoffman), I'm going to say sorry to you first...... Well, that's right, just apologize to you. Do you remember last summer when you suggested to me to buy a strong center...... yes, that's why I said I should apologize to you. Adrian, from now on, please help me find a few strong center forwards......"
——————
Although he has commissioned the club's chief scout to help him find a strong centre-forward, even if Adrian Hoffman has the right spot to provide him with the right man with his hands and eyes long since the winter transfer window has long since closed, he will only be able to use it when the summer transfer window reopens.
Therefore, the most realistic approach is to tap the potential within the team.
Fink first thought of the club's youth team, but when he found the head coach of the Hamburg Under-19s team in his office, a look of disappointment immediately came to his face.
Because the Under-19 manager told him that not to mention a physical centre-forward, there is not even a single striker in his squad who has the potential to make it to the first team.
And after the youth team's "gun search" failed, Fink also had the idea of Fengquan.
In Fink's view, even if Fengquan is 1.85 meters tall, it is "not enough to see" in the long-standing Bundesliga. But his perverted bouncing power, and physical strength that is completely out of proportion to his physique, is enough to make him suffer against other teams' defenders.
However, think of Feng Quan...... With unreliable heading ability, Fink eventually dismissed the idea of transforming him into a center forward. Moreover, if the "king of sprinting" is directly "thrown" into the opponent's penalty area, then his biggest weapon, the speed advantage of crushing the earthlings, will have nowhere to play.
Thinking about it, it is the most reliable choice to continue to let Cachar play as a temporary cameo as a center forward at the necessary moment.

On Tuesday, after a day off, the Hamburg first-team players returned to the training ground.
Due to a hard-fought battle just two days ago, most of the players on the field of Hamburg had significantly increased the distance they had traveled compared to the previous game. And with this, the physical exertion of the players in the game is also significantly more.
Although Fink gave the team a day off, there are still some players with weak physical recovery ability who can still feel that they have a lot of lactic acid in their bodies that need to be broken down.
Therefore, Fink only arranged very little physical training in training, and spent most of his training time on technical and tactical drills.
When Tuesday's training entered the final stage of group confrontation practice, due to the previous inertial thinking, when Fink had not yet announced the detailed grouping, the players of the Hamburg first team had already "consciously" grouped.
In previous training, Fink would often group the players who were the team's attacking mainstays with the team's backup backline (including a midfielder who was mainly responsible for defence) to form a "red team". The team's main backline is a "yellow team" with substitute attacking players. So in many cases, Fink doesn't even bother to announce the grouping of confrontation exercises every day.
However, before the start of the "second half" of today's group confrontation practice, Fink suddenly shouted "timeout".
Then, he switched Cachar, who played as a midfielder in the "yellow team", with the main center of the "red team", Byster, and also asked Cachar to replace Beester as the center forward of the red team.
Immediately afterwards, after making personnel adjustments, Fink also changed the offensive tactics of the "red team" from the previous pass-and-control tactics to a point-grabbing cross after a strong break on the wing.
Although Fink did not explain his intentions, most of the Hamburg players understood the manager's intentions after the battle with Freiburg.
In the following days of training, Fink would spend about 20 minutes in the final stage of training, using Cachar as the fulcrum of the attack to practice the team's offensive tactics.

On Thursday, after the end of the training, Feng Quan, who took a shower and changed into dry clothes, appeared in the parking lot of the training base with a relaxed face. Then he expertly pulled open the door of Jonas Kessler's car and got into his BMW X5 in a flash.
As soon as he got into the car, Feng Quan saw Jonas Kessler looking at him with a smile.
"What's wrong, Jonas? Is there something on my face? Feng Quan asked with some confusion.
"Haha, you misunderstood the boss." Jonas Kessler smiled heartily and said, "Didn't you ask me to help you find a high-level sprint coach the other day?" My professors in college have helped me find a suitable candidate in the United States. ”
"Really? This is indeed good news. After a slight pause, Feng Quan continued, "However, can you be sure that his abilities can indeed meet my requirements?" ”
"Boss, if I told you that guy was Tyson Gay's mentor a month ago, would you still question his abilities?"
"Tyson Gay?" Feng Quan searched his mind for information related to the name.
"Well, although that poor Yankee was trampled under your feet on the track at the Olympic Stadium in London, you shouldn't be unable to remember his name?" When he said this, Jonas Kessler's expression was a little exaggerated. "I guess if there is any American who loves track and field, I am afraid that when he sees your expression now, he will be so angry that he will vomit blood."
Although Jonas Kessler is very serious and serious when he enters the working state, he even seems a little harsh and impersonal at times. But on weekdays, he's a guy who loves to joke.
"Uh...... I remember. It's the Yankee with short hair and a little curly, and he seems to have some beard, right? After Kessler's reminder, Feng Quan always remembered his former defeated men.
"Haha, yes, that's the guy." Kessler affirmed.
"By the way, what's the name of that coach you're talking about?"
"El Carris, an old American man in his fifties."
"But why didn't he coach Tyson Gay anymore?" Feng Quan asked with some confusion.
"The specific reason is not very clear to my old professor, but I heard that guy Guy seems to have touched something that should not be touched, and Karis seems to be very angry when he finds out, and he scolded him."
"Oh, I see." Listening to Kessler's "guess", Feng Quan nodded. "So, when will he be able to start working for us soonest?"
"Boss, if you think that old man Karis's ability is okay, I'll ask my old professor to contact him and ask him to take the nearest flight to come over for you to have an interview and sign a contract."
"No problem, that's it......"

On the afternoon of April 13, the Mainz team, sitting at home, welcomed the challenge of the Hamburg team in the drizzle.
Although it was an away game, the Hamburg team, which was superior in terms of overall strength, still firmly controlled the initiative on the field from the beginning of the game.
The Hamburg players, who had withstood the mental test through a tenacious equaliser after the break in the last round of the league, showed an extremely strong desire to win in this game. Coupled with the hard work of the past week, the players' form has also improved significantly compared to the previous two weeks.
Therefore, just seven minutes into the first half, the away team Hamburg broke the deadlock on the field.
At that time, after Badelli broke the ball in the middle of the front, he quickly transferred the ball to the feet of Fengquan on the left wing.
Feng Quan dribbled forward along the left flank for eight or nine meters, attracting the attention of three defenders of the opposing position, and then suddenly passed the ball to the feet of Van der Vaart in the middle.
Van der Vaart received the ball and adjusted slightly to shoot from distance, but the Mainz defenders were attracted to him and quickly lunged towards him. The Dutchman again moved the ball sideways to the right side of the penalty area.
Immediately afterwards, Son Xingmin, who cut in at the right time from the right side, took the ball with his right foot, and then directly took his left foot 223 meters away from the goal and completed a powerful volley.
Although the goalkeeper of the Mainz team flew towards the left side of the goal at the first time, he could only helplessly watch the football fly into the goal under the crossbar of the goal.
Although Hamburg had a number of good chances to open the scoring in the following games, three good chances from Feng Quan, Van der Vaart and Baist were denied by the post and crossbar under the trick of the god of luck.
As a result, the Hamburg team, which took the initiative, had to enter the halftime break with a one-goal advantage.
——————
After the start of the second half, due to the rain in the sky, the Hamburg team's passing and control play was limited to a certain extent.
As a result, Fink immediately replaced Beist with Cachar again, giving him a centre-forward away from home. With the advent of Cachar, the offensive strategy of the Hamburg team has also changed from passing and cutting to focusing on the attack on the two wings.
Although the muddy field conditions affected Fengquan's play to a certain extent, he still disturbed the right side of the Mainz team with his obvious advantage in speed and strength.
Not only that, but in the slippery and muddy conditions of the field, Feng Quan, who often switched positions with Van der Vaart to the middle, also tortured the opposing defenders with his long-range shots from time to time.
In the 16th minute of the second half, after Son Heung-min broke through on the right wing, he accurately sent the ball above Cachar's head.
Cachar, who was ambushed near the penalty spot, pressed the opposition centre-back and headed the ball over to Feng Quan near the top of the penalty area.
Since there was a defender of the Mainz team not far away, he did not wait for the ball to hit the ground, and after a slight adjustment, Feng Quan completed a half-volley directly from outside the penalty area.
Although the angle of Feng Quan's shot was not very tricky, the football on a rainy day was heavier than usual. Therefore, the goalkeeper of the Mainz team did not dare to slack off, and still chose to safely block the ball out of the bottom line.
10 minutes later, the ball near the center circle of the wind, stumbling in the middle to get rid of the opponent's defense, directly from the goal 278 meters away from the goal to complete a heavy bombardment.
Although Soto (Elkinsoto) of the Mainz team was standing two or three meters in front of Feng Quan at this time, when he saw Feng Quan raise his foot to shoot, he subconsciously chose to dodge......
Moments later, the ball slammed into the post on the right side of the goal and then bounced into the net.
And until this point, the goalkeeper of the Mainz team did not have time to react......
