Chapter 031: Joining Dott was a mistake
This week, media reporters are all reporting on the upcoming German Cup, and everyone is speculating about the start of the German Cup in Dortmund.
It was at this time that news came from Dortmund.
The news is not about who will start, but on the transfer side.
Egyptian striker Mohamed Zidan has officially left Hamburg to join Borussia Dortmund.
It is said that this transfer was finalized a long time ago, and it is only now that it has been officially confirmed. Previously, when Dortmund striker Petritsch went to Hamburg, the two teams had already negotiated a transfer for Zidan.
However, I don't know what the reason is, and now Zidan has officially come to Dortmund.
When they saw this, Chinese reporters and fans were nervous and worried about Gu Zhen's future.
Originally, everyone thought that Pavlyuchenko was poached by Tottenham Hotspur and had saved Gu Zhen, and Gu Zhen should be able to get a good chance in Dortmund in the new season.
But no one thought that they would be able to hide from the first day of junior high school and not be able to hide from fifteen!
Borussia Dortmund now have Valdés, Frei, Zidan, Diego Klimowitz, Barjam Sadriha and Gu Zhen up front.
In other words, there are now six strikers in Dortmund's forward line, and the competitiveness is very large.
Needless to say, Nelson Valdés is now Dortmund's main striker, and his position is very solid. The Paraguayan striker made his debut in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen, and his experience at the time of his debut, his speed, good technique and keen shooting ability earned him a lot of praise, and he was even invited by the German Football Association to join the German national team, and later he was selected to play for Paraguay.
In the 2006-2007 season, he moved to Dortmund for 4.7 million euros, but after coming to Dortmund his performance tended to be mediocre, scoring only one goal in 29 appearances for the team in his first season, and only two goals in 27 appearances for the team last season.
In the pre-season preparation for the new season, Klopp still uses Valdés as the main force, which shows how extraordinary Valdés is.
He is also widely regarded as the only Dortmund club to have locked in a regular position in the attacking line this season.
Needless to say, Frei's goalscoring efficiency is very high, although he only played 13 games last season and then missed the game, he also scored six goals. He scored 16 goals in 32 appearances last season, making him the team's top scorer.
If it weren't for an injury he picked up midway through last season and only recovered this summer, perhaps he would have secured a regular position earlier than Valdés.
Previously, this was Gu Zhen's main competitor, and it is still now.
Klimowitz is a tall Argentine striker who arrived at Borussia Dortmund for €1 million at the start of last season and scored six goals in 28 appearances, which is a decent performer, after all, he has mostly come off the bench.
At 191cm tall, he always sits on the bench and waits until the critical moment to play for the team, which also enriches Dortmund's style of play and has more attacking methods.
There is also Kosovo striker Sadrriha, who is very young, and now he is only 22 years old, and his appearance order should be very low, even behind Gu Zhen, there is not much to say.
However, the Kosovo media are referring to Sadrha as the future king of Kosovo. Some Dortmund fans also jokingly called him the king of Kosovo, which is a bit of a joke, but it is also full of Dortmund's expectations.
Sadriha still showed good talent, and Klopp saw that he had moved him from the reserve team to the first team, and he would also be a rival to Gu Zhen in the new season.
Looking at these lists now, it is no wonder that the Chinese media and the German media were not optimistic about Gu Zhen before.
Fortunately, Gu Zhen was in front of and behind Valdés, Frey and Klimowitz, and now that there is one more Zidan, how can Gu Zhen kill three of them and get a position as the main force?
No wonder so many fans and reporters are not optimistic about Gu Zhen, claiming that Gu Zhen has no chance in the new season and will spend his youth on the bench and in the reserve team.
At this time, there are many afterthought fans who claim that Gu Zhen should not leave the Mainz team.
If he continues to stay in Mainz, he will also play in the Bundesliga in the new season, and he will also be the main force in the Mainz team's forward line, there will be countless game opportunities, and he will not worry about the opportunity to play at all.
Well, now that he has come to Dortmund, he has very few opportunities to play.
Gu Zhen made an extremely wrong decision.
A young player like Gu Zhen should not be ambitious and ambitious to join any giant team, he should honestly stay in some small teams and practice obediently, and it is not too late to join the giants when he grows up.
Gu Zhen, this guy is really too ambitious, and he is not rational at all.
Gu Zhen was speechless when he saw these reports, extremely speechless.
Who has been urging him to join the big teams before? What do you say that joining Dortmund is the most rubbish choice, Gu Zhen should choose Bayern Munich or Arsenal, going to Dortmund is simply brainless.
Now it's okay, one by one they say that they shouldn't join the giants.
These guys are really shameless, they really don't remember what they once said?
Gu Zhendu blushed for these guys.
However, although these guys speak ugly, some of them still make sense. That is, the competitive pressure of Gu Zhen will be very, very high in the new season, and they will have to work harder when facing the competition of Valdés, Frei, Klimowitz and Zidan.
Now his prospects are indeed very worrying.
Gu Zhen stared at these people in the training ground, roaring in his heart: "You guys are indeed very powerful, but I won't give up, I, Gu Zhen, will not be worse than anyone else!" I can score goals in the Bundesliga, I can score goals in the Bundesliga. Wait, I'll definitely snatch the position of the main force, definitely! ”
Gu Zhen cheered for himself in his heart!
At this time, those media reporters changed their tunes, claiming that Gu Zhen had become the fifth choice on the forward line of the Dortmund team, and if there were no accidents among other strikers in the new season, Gu Zhen would basically not have the opportunity to play.
Domestic fans and media reporters are very helpless!
How did it come to this?
Klopp, you stand up for Lao Tzu, isn't Gu Zhen your confidant? How did it get like this? If you knew this was the case, why did you bring Gu Zhen to Dortmund? Wouldn't it be better to keep him in the Mainz team?
If Gu Zhen really collapsed from then on, then Klopp must be the culprit, and you shouldn't bring Gu Zhen to Dortmund.
Now the German media and domestic media claim that Gu Zhen has no chance in the German Cup at the weekend. Not to mention the starters, he can't even get into the bench, Gu Zhen is the role of accompanying the prince to study this season. Gu Zhen still trains and grows up in the first team, and hopes that next season Gu Zhen can emerge and return to the public eye.
Many people are very helpless, why is Gu Zhen's future so bleak all of a sudden?
I can't guess it, I can't guess it!
Sure enough, Gu Zhen did not appear in the starting list for the German Cup at the weekend, but Gu Zhen did not appear on the bench as the media reporters imagined.
Valdés and Zidan started the line-up, Gu Zhen and Klimowitz sat on the bench, and Frei was not in the squad. This is really unexpected by media reporters and fans, has Gu Zhen left Frey behind?
Does that mean that Gu Zhen has a lot more opportunities in the new season?
In this game, Gu Zhen sat on the bench for 90 minutes, and he didn't get a minute of playing time. In this game, Dortmund defeated Essen with a thrilling score of 3-1 and successfully advanced to the next round.
The scorers in this game were centre-back Subotic, midfielder Federico and striker Valdés. Zidan's performance is still good, but it is still a little jerky, and it is a bit of a problem to cooperate with the team.
Seeing this, everyone felt that Gu Zhen's opportunity had come again.
Zidan obviously needs time to run in with the team, and Gu Zhen should be able to get some opportunities during this time. If Gu Zhen can seize the opportunity and gain a firm foothold in the first team, he can't really squeeze Qi Dan on the bench.
Chinese fans and journalists are praying for Gu Zhen to create a miracle.
After the game, the media reporters interviewed Gu Zhen.
In response to the question, Gu Zhen said: "Who can get the starting position, this is not something I can decide, this is a matter for the head coach to consider. The only thing I can do is train well, get in shape and be ready to play. ”
Gu Zhen also said: "The competitive pressure this year was very high, and my teammates were very strong and experienced strikers, and I was able to learn a lot from them. However, I will not give up and I will do my best to try to get more opportunities. ”
At this time, some media reporters also asked Gu Zhen if he regretted coming to Dortmund, after all, if he stayed in the Mainz team, he would also play in the Bundesliga, and he was also the team's main striker, but when he came to Dortmund, Gu Zhen was only the team's fourth or fifth striker, which was too far behind.
Gu Zhen pondered for a while and then said: "I have no regrets, life is full of challenges, and I am a person who likes challenges very much." Coming to Dortmund will definitely be more challenging and more stressful, but I won't be afraid because only in this situation can I grow faster. I will also be better in the future, so I have no regrets! ”
Gu Zhen also said: "In the face of these strong opponents, although the winning rate is not high, I will definitely go all out, and I Gu Zhen will not be worse than anyone else." I'm sure I'll start for Borussia Dortmund soon! ”
When the reporters of the foreign media heard this, they shook their heads one after another, Gu Zhen is too arrogant and self-righteous.
None of them were paying attention to Gu Zhen.
At the end of the week, the 2008-2009 Bundesliga season officially kicked off, Dortmund away to Bayer Leverkusen, and the domestic TV stations broadcast the game live, and they were full of anticipation for this game.
It's a pity that in the end, Gu Zhen didn't even go into the bench ball and stayed in Dortmund.
Domestic fans and journalists were very disappointed.
In this game, Dortmund reversed the opponent 3-2 away and won the victory.
It was Subotic, Valdés and Klinger who scored in the game, with Zidan coming off the bench as if sleepwalking.
Zidan's performance was so poor that Dortmund fans even called for Gu Zhen to be given more chances.
