Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter [095]: All support Gu Zhen's debut
Bruch Road Training Base, inside Training Ground 1.
Gu Zhenshen was wearing a yellow training vest and was pressing his legs on the sidelines, while his eyes were firmly fixed on the training ground, where a five-on-five training match was going on.
That's what Mainz is training for today.
Gu Zhen has not played in this group, but he can feel the fierce competition atmosphere in the team.
Especially the competition up front.
After Borja's injury, the starting striker position was once again vacated, and all the strikers saw the opportunity and were all trying to show themselves frantically, hoping to grab the starting position.
Gu Zhen is also eyeing this starting position.
Amri and Boakye are now in a fierce battle at the training ground.
Of course, this fierce competition is also aimed at Gu Zhen.
The two may have seen Gu Zhen warming up on the sidelines, so they were particularly excited and positive. Because after Borja was injured, Gu Zhen became the team's top scorer instead.
Although Gu Zhen is very young, they think that Gu Zhen is also a very strong competitor.
After all, Jurgen Klopp said in an interview with media reporters before the game that he was going to start with the best players in form. Now that Gu Zhen is in a hot state, who is Gu Zhen's starter?
But they also heard what they wanted to hear, which was that state is everything.
So, they are positive and hopefully their best form will impress Jurgen Klopp and try to win this starting position.
Especially this guy Amri, he is holding back a lot of energy in his heart and trying his best to perform.
Originally, his appearance order was before Gu Zhen.
Before, his position was still very secure. But after Gu Zhen came to the first team, his position was unstable, and he had even been squeezed out of the bench by Gu Zhen recently, and he was very unconvinced.
Today he just wants to show himself well and prove himself to Klopp, he is no worse than Gu Zhen.
"See, these two are like hungry tigers who see their prey now!" Subotic stared at the stadium and said beside Gu Zhen.
Today, Gu Zhen and Subotic were assigned to a group, and they will play together later.
Gu Zhen said lightly: "So what? β
Subotic turned his head and glanced at Gu Zhen and said, "You're not nervous at all?" β
Gu Zhen immediately changed his position, continued to press his legs, and said, "What do I have to be nervous about?" I just have to do my own thing! β
Subotic grinned and nodded, "Good, good! Looks like you're confident, huh? β
Gu Zhen said: "Although I am looking forward to starting, I don't think Mr. Klopp will let me start. But I know I'm going to get a chance to play in this game! β
Subotic was startled, staring at Gu Zhen with blazing eyes.
This kid really surprised him very much, he really didn't expect Gu Zhen to be so rational. Isn't this guy usually very funny? When did you top up your IQ?
Gu Zhen pouted and said, "Don't look at me with such eyes!" Sometimes, it's better to be humble, don't always think of yourself too smart, and don't always think of others too stupid! Human beings are the most deceptive animals, seeing is not necessarily believing, and feeling it with your heart. I'm sure you'll be able to graduate from kindergarten in another 10 years! β
After saying that, Gu Zhen didn't give Subotic a chance to react at all, and ran away.
Subotic was completely silent in Gu Zhengang's philosophical words, pondering.
Don't always think too smart about yourself, and don't always think too stupid about others!
That's a really good thing to say!
Subotic bowed his head frequently, pondering and savoring. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes bulged, and he stared at Gu Zhen's back angrily and roared: ", garbage Gu Zhen, you didn't graduate from kindergarten, you didn't graduate from kindergarten!" β
Gu Zhen laughed and ignored Subotic, his eyes were firmly fixed on the court.
Amri scores!
It was Amri's third goal of the game, and he was in very good form and it was clear that he was prepared.
Amuri's opponent, Boakye, was no worse, scoring a goal and providing two assists in the game.
Both of them performed well, of course, this statistic is not too important, the main thing is that the two have shown very good form on the training field.
Gu Zhen's face darkened, it seemed that he really didn't have a chance to start.
Yes, even if he must have decided in his heart that Klopp would not let him start in this game, Gu Zhen still hoped that he would have the opportunity to start in the bottom of his heart.
Ay!
Gu Zhen sighed and shook his head, it seems that he still can't get rid of his life as a substitute.
The game in the stadium continues, Amri is really hot, very positive on the field, he is everywhere, and most importantly, he is also very good.
Gu Zhen bowed slightly and said, "He is indeed in a good state today. β
Subotic said lightly: "At this time, you even admired your competitors, my God, you are too generous!" β
Gu Zhen smiled slightly and said, "I won't die if I praise others." Besides, I'm telling the truth, and I'm not exaggerating! β
Subotic gave Gu Zhen a thumbs up, to be honest, he might not have been so generous if it were him.
Gu Zhen, this little guy is very good!
Usually I get rid of some jokes, but it's still very unexpected in key things, too stable, not like a young man at all.
Subotic felt that he should learn from Gu Zhen.
Soon, another burst of cheers erupted on the training ground, and Amri jumped up excitedly, waving his fists excitedly.
Goals, just now Amri scored again.
It was his fourth goal in this training game, and he was really good and in very hot form.
When scoring the fourth goal, Amri also glanced at Klopp cautiously, and he happened to see Klopp nodding incessantly, and his heart was happy that he had a chance.
And Boakye, opposite Amri, frowned slightly, although he also performed well today. However, compared to Amri, it is still a little worse, and the mood is a little uncomfortable.
Boakye was ruthless, more positive, and crazy about himself.
In the end, however, Boakye did not score.
Boakye was very dissatisfied with his performance, and he kept shaking his head and feeling depressed when he came off the field. On the other hand, Amri was not proud, his face was also flat, and he was very nervous.
It can be seen that Amri is still very worried, maybe he takes this starting position too seriously, and he is focused on this starting position.
Subotic patted Gu Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's our turn!" β
Gu Zhen bowed slightly, and then followed Subotic into the court, it was their turn to play in this group. Their opponents have already taken to the pitch, with high striker Branislav Ivanovic up front.
Ivanovic did not enter the squad for the last round, but Gu Zhendare assured that he will definitely enter the squad for this game.
Because the last game with FΓΌrth exposed this problem, the team needs such a center forward to enrich the team's tactics, Klopp will definitely let him enter the squad this time, as for whether it is a starter, Gu Zhen is not very clear.
However, this is definitely a very strong competitor.
When Gu Zhen came on the field, he happened to walk past Amri who was off the field. Amri suddenly said lightly: "I won't lose to you, this time's starting list must be mine!" β
Gu Zhen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.
The corners of Gu Zhen's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Oh, then I bless you!" β
It will be Amri's turn to be stunned, what does Gu Zhen mean by this guy? Is this an early admission of defeat? Probably not?
Amri was a little puzzled, turned his head to look at Gu Zhen, and still couldn't figure it out.
Amri walked away with doubts, not knowing what kind of medicine Gu Zhen was selling in the gourd? He stared at Gu Zhen quietly on the sidelines to see Gu Zhen's performance in this game.
Gu Zhen's state today is also very good, and the main thing is that this five-person match is very suitable for Gu Zhen, Gu Zhen's running position is very erratic, always appearing in the most critical position, and it is suddenly from the defender's sight into the line of sight, so that the defenders are caught off guard.
On the sidelines, Klopp couldn't stop exclaiming: "This kid is very smart at football, he often observes the movements of the side passers, and can judge the landing point very accurately." He seems to have a natural judgment about the backwardness of football, and this talent is really too strong. And he also has a body that fits him perfectly, with speed and explosiveness, which allows him to often be preemptive. β
Bwach also said in amazement: "What is even more surprising is that it is often not him who strikes later, but who strikes first!" Being able to judge the landing point in advance, and with such a strong explosive speed, he is naturally able to suddenly leave defenders far behind and complete point-grabbing shots! β
Klopp kept his head on his head, and that's it.
As long as Gu Zhen can practice his shooting skills well and his ability to handle the ball in the first time, he will definitely become a feared super striker in world football.
Klopp's expectations for Gu Zhen are very high.
Just now, Gu Zhen completed his third goal of the game, and the three goals were almost identical, that is, a quick rush to shoot. He was always able to get in front of the defender and get to the ball with his feet to shoot and send the ball into the back of the net.
Amri's brows furrowed, and his heart was becoming more and more worried.
He had to admit that Gu Zhen was a very strong striker and his biggest competitor. But he still thinks that he is more suitable to appear in the starting list than Gu Zhen, Gu Zhen is too young, and his immature shoulders can't bear such a responsibility.
Amri turned his head to look at Klopp on the sidelines, and he wanted to see what Klopp's expression was.
But at this time, Klopp was expressionless, he really couldn't see what Klopp was thinking at this time?
At this point, Boakye's mood was at rock bottom.
Today's performance is not only inferior to Amri, but even Gu Zhen can't be compared now, what qualifications does he have to appear in the starting list?
Boakye sighed and was already deflated, and it seemed that the starting list this time should have nothing to do with him.
In the training ground, Gu Zhen suddenly received a cross from the big French on the side, quickly stepped forward directly from the back point, bypassed the defensive central defender, rushed to the forward point, fell to the ground and shoveled, and shoveled the football into the goal.
Gu Zhenjin's performance in Tainan is really outstanding.
Ivanovic couldn't stop applauding, this little guy is really a genius, no wonder he can become the team's second scorer, it seems that the Mainz team should give Gu Zhen more playing time, so that the Mainz team can appear in the Bundesliga next year.
Branislav Ivanovic is the starter who supported Gu Zhen.
