Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter [105]: The competition within the team is extremely fierce
At the end of the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, Mainz, who had drawn two consecutive rounds, relinquished the top spot in the league and was once again occupied by Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Now Borussia Mönchengladbach has 41 points, which is the same chance as Mainz, but they have more goal difference than Mainz, so the current top of the table is Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Mainz is second.
Third-placed Fürth and fourth-placed Hoffenheim are tied on 37 points and are close to the top of the league table, only four points apart.
Cologne, who are fifth in the league, now have 36 points, while Wayne in sixth place and Freiburg in seventh place both have 35 points, and these teams are serious contenders for promotion.
With 12 rounds left in the league, no one could have imagined what the outcome would be.
Now Mainz don't dare to claim that they have been promoted, not even Borussia Mönchengladbach at the top of the table.
The competitiveness of the Bundesliga this season is really too great.
Mainz will have to work harder and get more points if they want to be promoted.
However, now Mainz is running into some problems.
To be more precise, Gu Zhen encountered some problems.
Started two rounds of games in a row, Gu Zhen's performance was not very satisfactory, many people thought that the previous Gu Zhen was completely hyped, and this guy's strength had no way to enter the sight of the Bayern Munich team, let alone refuse to accept the Bayern Munich team.
Now everyone knows that Gu Zhen is just a parallel import, and there is a lot of abuse on the Internet.
Little Francec saw that Gu Zhen was in a bad mood recently, so he immediately persuaded him: "Old Gu, don't care about those people, we all know what kind of strength you have." It's normal to have a bad performance in one or two games, and even players like Ronaldo Bailey will have periods of slump, which is normal. ”
Gu Zhen bowed slightly and said, "I know!" ”
Frankic Jr. said: "It's good that you know, don't get entangled, don't be influenced by them, behave well, we believe in you!" ”
Gu Zhen patted little France's shoulder and said, "Thank you, I won't let you down!" ”
Little Francec has just recovered from his injury, and he didn't comfort him, he actually came to comfort himself, this guy is really good.
Gu Zhen suddenly asked, "Eh, little old man, did that beautiful reporter of yours catch up?" ”
Little French stared at Gu Zhen tightly and said, "Of course not, I'm still waiting for your assist, my good brother." Tell me, when will you be able to be interviewed by media reporters? She can't wait! ”
Gu Zhen was taken aback, and immediately said, "It's been so long, has there been no progress at all?" ”
Little French shook his head slightly and said, "No! ”
Gu Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Are you being used by her, she doesn't like you at all, so she doesn't want to fall in love with you!" ”
"No, I believe in her, just as I believe in you," said Francecic Jr. ”
Hiss!
Gu Zhen gasped, and then immediately said: "It seems that you are really in love, as a brother, should I congratulate you on finding a beautiful other half, or should I worry that you will fall into the abyss of love?" ”
Little French immediately said: "Congratulations to me! ”
Gu Zhen shook his head slightly and sighed, little Francec was really fascinated by the beautiful reporters, it seems that he is going to hang himself on this tree.
Gu Zhen bowed his head slightly and said, "Then I congratulate you and wish you success." ”
Little French smiled: "Accept your good words!" ”
After chatting with little Francecic, Gu Zhen's mood was much better, and he didn't say too much about the Internet and the media in the unexpected world, the only thing he can do well now is himself.
His performance has not been very good recently, and Gu Zhen hopes that through his own efforts, he can change as soon as possible and perform well to secure the team's starting position.
Gu Zhen knows that there are some rumors in the team now, some people are not convinced that they are sitting in the starting position, and they must come up with something to prove themselves.
Therefore, Gu Zhen is very active and desperate in training.
Of course, there are also people who are as active and desperate as Gu Zhen, that is, Amri and Boakye. Now the most fierce competition in the Mainz team is the position of the striker, and these three people have brought the atmosphere of the Mainz team to the top.
The players of the Mainz team saw that the competition between the three was so fierce, and they were also driven by the infection, and they were all very active in training to prepare for the next league.
This season, the Mainz team has only one task, and that is promotion.
Now they only have one front, and that is the league. They were knocked out of the German Cup a long time ago, and now they have no distractions and should be able to go further in the league.
Now Mainz are training in preparation for the weekend's league game.
This weekend, Mainz will take on Offenbacha at their home turf, a team in the middle and bottom of the table that is not very strong. But Mainz attaches great importance to it, and it will not work if it does not pay attention to it. They hadn't even won the league vice-captain Carl Zeiss Jena before, so they had to be careful in this game.
In training, Gu Zhen performed very positively, as always.
In this training match, Gu Zhen's performance was also very good, and he delivered two assists and one goal in the first half of the game. And his rival Amri also performed very well, scoring two goals.
Now the Mainz players can see that Amri is ruthless.
Amri attaches great importance to this starting position, he is very hard-working, and he has caused very big trouble for Gu Zhen.
At halftime, Amri came to Gu Zhen's side and said: "I won't give up, I'm going to decide the starting position!" ”
Gu Zhen glanced at Amri and said lightly: "I hope you succeed, but that's impossible!" ”
Amri stared at Gu Zhen tightly for a while before turning to leave.
Little Francec immediately came to Gu Zhen's side and said lightly: "See, that kid is waiting for you to make a mistake now." ”
Gu Zhen smiled and said, "There is nothing about fair competition? What would you do if you were him? ”
Francecic Jr.: "This ...... Are you still thinking about him at this time? ”
Gu Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not thinking about him, I'm thinking about our team." Whoever is strong and who starts, who is in good form, is a good thing for us in Mainz and I hope I can play in the Bundesliga next season! ”
Yes, Gu Zhen's goal is to be promoted to the Bundesliga next season.
At this time, whoever can help the team promote the Bundesliga should start. Gu Zhen has no opinion, but Gu Zhen hopes that he can become the person who can help the team promote the Bundesliga.
Therefore, Gu Zhen is very active and works very hard in training.
Jurgen Klopp sees this in his eyes and he is happy with the healthy competition that the team has used in this way. The team now continues to have this kind of healthy competition to adjust everyone's form and make everyone better to face the upcoming league.
Bwach said suddenly: "Aren't you afraid that there will be any contradictions between them, something will happen, and it will affect the unity of the team?" If that's the case, it's very, very bad for the Mainz team! ”
Klopp turned his head to look at Bwach and said lightly: "You are worried that it is necessary, so you have to keep an eye on them now." Competition is possible, but there must be no contradictions that affect the unity of the Mainz team! ”
Bwach smiled wryly, and sure enough, he had dug a hole for himself.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on them," Bwach said. I hope these boys can put their minds to the right path, otherwise they will never recover. ”
Klopp patted Bouist and said lightly: "You have to have faith in them and believe in your players. ”
The second half of the training session was quickly underway.
At the beginning of the second half, Amri was more active, running frequently in the front court, hoping to get more opportunities to put pressure on Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen was still playing at his own pace, he felt that he was in good shape today, and he believed that he could have a very good performance.
With a bang, Gu Zhen received the ball from the side Francic Jr. at the back point, and directly fell to the ground and slid a shovel shot, and the football flew quickly towards the yellow team's goal. It's a pity that the football is slightly off, and Gu Zhen's luck is a little worse.
However, Gu Zhen's grabbing points this time is very good. Frankic Jr.'s pass was a little forward, and Gu Zhen was able to grab the point, which was very good.
Klopp and Bvacchi on the sidelines couldn't stop applauding, and Gu Zhen really performed very well.
Amri's brows tightened, and he immediately launched a more ferocious attack, he would not let Gu Zhen concentrate on the front. He was out of the way, almost playing this game as if it was a final, and trying his best to show himself.
Don't say that Amri still has the strength, he was in good shape today and had a very good performance. In the second half, he scored two goals in a row to help the Yellow team win.
In this game, Amri staged a big four and showed a very good form.
Gu Zhen delivered two goals and three assists in this game, and his performance was also very good, which was on par with Amri.
It's a bit difficult for Bouace, who should start in the league at the weekend?
Or should both of them start in league action at the weekend?
Boakye's performance today is indeed much, much inferior to these two, but this guy is a powerful striker from the Bundesliga, with good strength and very rich experience, and the Mainz team is in great need of experience at this time.
What the hell is going on?
Bwach was staring at Klopp to see what choice Klopp would make.
Gu Zhen and Amri are also against Klopp, and they also want to see what choice Klopp will make? Who will get the starting line-up for this game?
Not announced!
Yes, Klopp did not announce who started the game.
The Mainz players are disappointed, but they also know that it is difficult to make a decision now, and it seems that Mr. Klopp needs more time to make a final decision.
Little Francec came to Gu Zhen's side, grabbed Gu Zhen's neck and said, "Don't worry, old Gu." I'm sure Mr. Klopp will choose you, your starting position, secure. ”
