Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter [027]: The debut is really coming
On October 5, 2007, the weather was sunny in Mainz, Germany.
Today, Gu Zhenshi and Frankic Jr. sat on the bench of the first team of Mainz, watching the ninth round of this season's Bundesliga Mainz host Oe team.
Yes, Gu Zhen returned to the squad today.
Just yesterday, when he learned that he was back in the squad, he was very excited.
Gu Zhen jumped up excitedly and screamed excitedly.
This attracted strange looks from the teammates around him.
But Gu Zhen didn't care at all.
Because they don't know how much pressure Gu Zhen has been under recently, he really almost has to leave the first team of Mainz to report to the national youth team.
It's not that the national youth team is bad, but he hopes that he can make his debut in the first team of Mainz as soon as possible and become a veritable professional player.
Gu Zhen of the national youth team is naturally very yearning.
However, for now, he is hoping to establish himself in the first team at Mainz.
The national youth team recruited him into the team during the international break, and he will definitely report to the national youth team. However, he will definitely not want to stay in the youth team for the next month or two with the young players at his home clubs, and he still wants to return to the first team in Mainz during the non-international break.
He's a professional footballer!
What Gu Zhen is thinking about now is to make his debut in the first team of Mainz as soon as possible, score as soon as possible, and become a starter in the first team of Mainz as soon as possible......
To sum up, in one sentence - to become famous early!
Now that Gu Zhen is back on the list, he is naturally very excited in his heart. He still has a chance and he has a chance to stay in the first team at Mainz.
He must seize this opportunity.
Gu Zhen sat firmly on the bench, staring at the stadium with his eyes firmly and watching the game.
Little French was very surprised in his heart, he really had never seen his old friend so quiet. Today's Gu Zhen is really too different from the past, and he can feel the pressure on his good friend.
Little Francec patted Gu Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you have a chance!" ”
Gu Zhen bowed slightly to little Francecic, and then continued to turn his head to look at the court.
It's only been five minutes since the game started, neither side is in the groove, and both teams have been playing very badly for a while, and it is not at all obvious that this is a Bundesliga game.
In this round of the game, Mainz's opponent Aue team is not very strong, and it can even be said that it is very poor. After eight rounds of matches, Aue are fifth from bottom in the Bundesliga. They are eight points level on points with fourth-from-bottom Augsburg and only three points ahead of third-from-bottom Jena.
They are very close to the relegation zone and are typical of the relegation team.
Mainz FC is a team that is determined to be promoted, and they are the favorites for promotion that the outside world is very optimistic about. Against Aue, they should be able to win.
However, Mainz FC have not been in good shape lately, having just lost in the last round.
With 13 points, Mainz FC has dropped from the top three of the league and is only sixth. Moreover, Offenbacha, who are in seventh place, have the same number of points as them, and the next two teams are also on 11 points, and Mainz really can't afford to lose now.
For a team aiming for promotion, Mainz desperately need a win to stabilize the situation.
However, after the start of this game, the performance of the Mainz team was not very good.
Gu Zhen, who was sitting on the bench, was also very worried, he hoped that he could play, but he also preferred that his team could win and be promoted.
Gu Zhen is worried about his team.
He could see that the form of their team today was not very good, and a lot of players were really slow to get into shape. The only good news is that their opponents, Aue, are in a similar situation, getting into form too slowly.
Therefore, although the two sides are playing very ugly now, Mainz has not encountered any major trouble.
However, it is clear that this is not what the Mainz team wants.
Gu Zhen said suddenly: "We seem to have encountered some problems. ”
Junior French also frowned and said: "Yes, our players don't seem to be in game shape yet, and if we continue like this, it will be very bad for us." ”
Of course, Gu Zhen and little Francec were also faintly happy in their hearts.
If their teammates on the pitch keep performing like this, they can't get into the groove for a long time. This will certainly attract the displeasure of Mr. Klopp, who will make an early substitution. In this way, they have a chance to come off the bench, so the two still have some expectations in their hearts.
However, Gu Zhen was not particularly optimistic in his heart.
Because next to him is Amri, who has been in good form recently and has performed well. If Mr. Klopp were to change strikers, he would definitely be replaced by Amri.
Gu Zhen's mood was still a little low.
But he is also full of expectations, who said that there are no miracles in this world?
Until the end, it's really hard to say who will lose and who won.
He Gu Zhen will never give up, he wants to compete with his competitors to the end.
As time went on, with the home fans cheering on, the players of the first team of Mainz gradually found their form and began to get into the rhythm of the game. However, by this time their opponents Aue had found their form and rhythm.
During this time, the Auer team is playing better.
Klopp was naturally very angry, roaring incessantly on the sidelines, reminding the Mainz players on the pitch. Even just now, Klopp immediately turned around and shouted at the bench: "Everyone go to warm up, don't be idle, I can't say that your chance is coming soon!" ”
Gu Zhen and the players on the bench were very surprised, and they got up to warm up.
Of course, Gu Zhen and his teammates knew very well that Klopp asked them all to warm up not because he really wanted to make substitutions, but to stimulate the main players on the field. It was as if he was saying to the main players on the field: "We have people in the team, and if you don't want to play, you can just come down!" ”
After seeing all the players on the Mainz bench go to warm up, Mainz's main players also felt some pressure, and their performance was not much better than before. But they are more active and hardworking, and the situation is slowly improving.
This made the Mainz substitutes who were warming up look dark, and their chances were a little slimmer.
However, Gu Zhen is full of enthusiasm.
Even if there is only a slight chance, Gu Zhen will do his best.
Moreover, the main players of Mainz played really badly in this game, and they really had a chance to come off the bench. However, it is not known whether he will come on as a substitute or Amri.
What Gu Zhen can do now is to work hard and keep working hard to let the coaches see his positive attitude and good condition.
As for whether the coaches choose him or not, it's not something that is too much to think about.
Gu Zhen just buried himself in the warm up, waiting for the seemingly unlikely opportunity to come.
On the pitch, the Mainz first team gradually found the rhythm of the game and began to control the game. However, at this time, the first half of the game was almost over, and Mainz's state really came too late.
However, the fans are still frantically cheering for the Mainz team.
At the end of the first half, both sides did not break through each other's goals, and the score was still 0-0. This is definitely not the outcome Mainz want to see, and this is a game they have to win.
Gu Zhen felt that the opportunity that belonged to them was really coming, he was very full when he warmed up in the midfield, and he was waiting for the second half of the game to come on as a substitute.
Gu Zhen said to Francic Jr.: "Do you think we will have a chance to play in the second half? ”
Little Francec bluntly hit Gu Zhen and said: "The team will definitely make substitutions, but it will definitely not be you, do you believe it?" ”
Gu Zhen directly glanced at little Francec and said, "Can you have a little dream as a man, don't you be as good as a salted fish?" ”
Little Francec didn't pay attention to Gu Zhen at all, so he wouldn't daydream with Gu Zhen.
Soon the second half officially began, and the Mainz team scored as soon as they came up. It was their club's chief striker Borja who scored the goal and helped his team get ahead.
Little Francec turned his head to look at Gu Zhen and said, "How is it?" It's time for your daydreams to wake up! ”
Gu Zhen pursed his lips slightly, ignoring little Francecic.
What Francec Jr. didn't expect was that the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and in the tenth and fifteenth minutes of the second half, the Aue team scored two goals in a row to instantly overtake the score.
Everyone at the scene was stunned, they didn't expect such a situation to happen!
Klopp, who reacted, roared frantically on the sidelines, kicked over the drinking bottle, splashed a puddle of water stains, and Klopp also received a yellow card for this.
Gu Zhen and little Francecic both had wide eyes in disbelief.
Why can't Mainz all of a sudden?
Gu Zhen was also faintly excited in his heart, the opportunity that belonged to him had come, it had really come!
If you are behind, you will definitely have to change the striker.
But will Jurgen Klopp be replaced by Amri or himself? Gu Zhen really didn't know, and even he felt that Amri had a better chance. But this does not prevent Gu Zhen from having illusions, what if it is him?
Isn't that the end of his career debut?
Gu Zhen is a little excited in his heart now, maybe he can really play!
On the sidelines, Klopp waved his hand and signaled the Mainz club to attack on all fronts, but the effect was not ideal, and Mainz was in a desperate situation.
Now Mainz really can't afford to lose, they can't afford to lose.
Klopp immediately turned around and shouted at the bench: "Shadley and Gu Zhen, you all go to warm up, hurry up!" ”
Gu Zhen was stunned!
Let me warm up!
Is this going to get me off the bench?
Is Xiao Ye's career debut really coming?
