Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter 026: Are you leaving Mainz?
Come!
Again!
Gu Zhen, who was out of breath, immediately raised his hand and signaled little Francec on the side to continue passing, and he will continue to practice today.
The fact that he did not enter the squad in the eighth round of the league further stimulated Gu Zhen's fighting spirit.
In training, Gu Zhen became more and more hardworking and desperate.
He firmly believes that as long as he continues to work hard like this, he will be able to impress Mr. Klopp with his strength and get a chance to play.
What Gu Zhen urgently needs to improve now is his ability to handle the ball.
Gu Zhen called his good friend Little Francec to help him practice together.
Gu Zhen made several different passing points on the side, allowing Frankic Jr. to pass the ball from these points continuously and into the penalty area without interruption. Then Gu Zhen grabbed a point in the penalty area and completed the shot.
The difficulty of this training is that Francic Jr. does not need to look at Gu Zhen's reaction in the penalty area, and drives the football into the penalty area according to his fastest pace. In this way, Gu Zhen in the penalty area is very likely to see several balls appear in the air at the same time, flying towards him with a very short interval between the front and back.
In this way, Gu Zhen was required to be able to deal with every flying soccer ball as soon as possible, and quickly prepare to deal with the next flying soccer ball.
This is a very high requirement for Gu Zhen, he must accurately judge the landing point of each ball in a very long time, and also eliminate other interference, and then make the fastest and most suitable shooting action.
The interval between each ball is very long, and at the beginning, Gu Zhen was completely in a hurry, and he couldn't handle these crosses at all. However, Gu Zhen has always insisted on training like this, which is good for his growth.
At the beginning, with five crosses, Gu Zhen was able to handle one or two at most, and two was the limit. But after such a long time of training, Gu Zhen has grown a lot, and he can basically handle three of the balls well.
Of course, this is not enough, it really is not enough.
Gu Zhen's requirements for himself are almost perfect, and he is very demanding. Little Francec couldn't stand Gu Zhen a little, thinking that Gu Zhen was simply a masochist. If you don't abuse yourself every day, you won't be able to sleep, and you will be uncomfortable.
However, little Francec still admires Gu Zhen very much in his heart.
This guy is really working hard for his dreams.
They had just completed more than 30 sets of such training, and little Francecic was about to collapse in his own physical strength. Now Gu Zhen actually wants to continue, this guy is really crazy.
Little Francec immediately said: "Old Gu, I see that I am almost there, and I have no physical fitness." It's getting dark, so let's go back. Rome wasn't built in a day, there's still a long way to go, and we're not in a hurry! ”
Gu Zhen, who was gasping one after another, waited for little Francec and said: "Haven't you heard that half of those who travel a hundred miles are less than ninety, the biggest stumbling block to success is laziness, and the most useless behavior is to make excuses, and to become famous is to take advantage of the famous saying?" ”
Little Francec despised Gu Zhen fiercely and said, "Your focus should be on 'becoming famous as soon as possible', right?" I think you're crazy trying to be famous! ”
Gu Zhen smiled and said, "If you don't want to go crazy for your dreams once, do you still want to expect success?" You dream about it! Hurry up and come to ten more groups, and we'll go home after practice! ”
Little Francec really couldn't say anything about Gu Zhen, he gritted his teeth and sighed: "Okay, I'll go crazy with you once!" ”
Francic Jr. took a deep breath and ran again at a rapid pace, passing the ball in front of him with one kick, then immediately turned and rushed to the next penalty spot to continue the cross......
Boom, boom, the ball is flying into the penalty area one after another.
Gu Zhen in the penalty area was very calm in the face of such a situation, and he no longer had the initial hurry, he carefully judged the landing point of the football, and then completed the shot in the fastest and most convenient way, and then ran to the second flying football......
In the forbidden area, Gu Zhen was as tired as a dog.
But he enjoyed it and gritted his teeth desperately. A lot of the time the flying ball is going to be very embarrassing, but he is also able to score some quick and simple but very good goals.
Whenever he saw a football fly into the goal, Gu Zhen was the happiest.
Because his efforts were not in vain.
The two of them struggled in the darkening sky, and what they didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes not far away that witnessed all that was happening.
Klopp saw the two people who were about to get tired drag their extremely tired bodies off the court, he bowed slightly, and he was also very moved. These are two young people who can give everything for their dreams, and their future will definitely be brilliant.
Klopp also felt that now he should give Gu Zhen some rewards?
Gu Zhen, this guy is really working too hard, and he is doing too well.
Looking at the backs of the two people who left, Klopp bowed slightly and decided to give the two of them some rewards.
At the end of the week, let them return to the squad in the ninth round of the Bundesliga!
Yes, now Klopp has decided.
However, Gu Zhen, who dragged his tired body home, didn't know about this situation. He was still worried about himself, whether he could make the squad at the end of the week?
Gu Zhen is genuinely worried, because his rival Amri has been doing really well lately.
Amri has come off the bench in the last two games, but he has scored a goal and an assist in both games, and he has been really good. And he, Gu Zhen, doesn't even have a chance now, let alone show anything.
At this time, Klopp will definitely choose Amri.
Although Gu Zhen is very optimistic, he will also produce some negative energy when he is alone. Is it useless for me to work so hard, can I really return to the bench, and can I really get the opportunity to play?
When he was alone, Gu Zhen actually often had such thoughts.
However, it would be nice to get some sleep.
The next day, Gu Zhen was still full of vitality, and he was still very active and working hard in training.
Therefore, Gu Zhen is not an arrogant fool.
He's just a guy who's willing to do his best for his dreams.
At this moment, Gu Zhenshi received a call from his father Gu Yongchen.
Gu Zhen said: "Dad, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" ”
Gu Yongchen immediately said: "Your situation has been a little unsatisfactory recently, so I'll call and ask." ”
Yes, although he is far away in Asia, Gu Yongchen is also concerned about Gu Zhen's situation.
Maybe Gu Zhen didn't know that Gu Yongchen would talk to Klopp Bwach and others on the phone almost every day to learn about Gu Zhen's situation. And these were carried out completely without Gu Zhen's knowledge.
Therefore, Gu Yongchen is well aware of Gu Zhen's recent situation.
Gu Zhen didn't expect his situation to be known to his father, and he immediately said, "It's okay, Dad!" It's like that with the young players, it's good that I've been in the squad for a couple of weeks. I'm young now, and I can afford to be on the bench. And I'm working very hard and I'm sure I'll be back on the bench soon and get my chance to play! ”
Good news, not bad news!
Gu Yongchen bowed slightly on the other side of the phone and said, "I believe in you, son!" You will be able to succeed. ”
Gu Zhen said: "Thank you, Dad, I won't let you down!" ”
Gu Yongchen said: "Are you still so polite to your father? ”
Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome." Dad, did you call me today just to comfort me? ”
Gu Yongchen groaned slightly, and then said: "On the one hand, comforting you is on the one hand, and on the other hand, I am here with a mission!" ”
Gu Zhen was shocked and said, "What task?" ”
Gu Zhen was really surprised, what task would his father have? And who gave him the task? Gu Zhen was really curious.
Gu Yongchen also didn't sell Guan Zi here, and immediately said: "Today, I just talked to Mr. Liu Chunming, the head coach of the U19 national youth team. ”
Gu Zhen bowed slightly, he somewhat understood.
Gu Yongchen continued: "Mr. Liu Chunming values you more and has been concerned about your situation. He sees that your recent situation in the first team at Mainz doesn't seem too ideal, and there are few opportunities to play. He thinks that instead of doing this, you should go back to China to report to the national youth team first, and follow the national youth team to train and play together. That way you still have the opportunity to play, which is the most important thing for your age. ”
Gu Zhen was stunned, he really didn't expect it to be like this.
Mr. Liu Chunming, the head coach of the national youth team, actually wanted him to report back to the national youth team.
The training camp of the Chinese U19 youth team has begun, and Mr. Liu Chunming has persuaded all domestic professional clubs to release them through the Football Association, and they have started training before the international break.
Therefore, if Gu Zhen goes to the national youth team for training at this time, he will definitely abandon the opportunity of Mainz's first team. This is very reluctant for Gu Zhen, and he thinks that it is most correct for him to stay in the first team of Mainz.
However, it is true that he has not had much chance in the first team of Mainz recently.
Gu Zhen was also a little shaken in his heart.
However, soon Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "Dad, I think it's better for me to stay in the first team of Mainz." Now that I've been fighting here for so long, I can't afford to give up halfway. I'm sure soon I'll be able to return to the first team at Mainz and come off the bench. ”
Gu Yongchen sighed, in fact, he had already guessed that Gu Zhen would make such a choice, and his son himself knew very well.
Gu Yongchen said: "That's it, now you stay in the first team of Mainz first." If you don't have much chance in the first team at Mainz before the next international break. During the international break, you will report back to the youth team, train with the national youth team, and prepare for the qualifiers of the Asian Youth Championship. After all, playing a game and not playing a game are two different concepts! ”
Gu Zhen sighed when he heard this, Gu Yongchen threw him a problem.
Gu Zhen knew that if he returned to the national youth team, he would definitely stay in the national youth team, and he would not be able to return to Mainz until after the Asian Youth Championship qualifiers.
In other words, if Gu Zhen really didn't get any opportunities before the international break, he would probably have to leave the Mainz first team for a while. At that time, when he returned to the first team of Mainz, he didn't know what the situation was like in Mainz, and he had to start all over again.
Gu Zhen really didn't want to start all over again.
He hopes to return to the squad in the near future and even get a chance to play.
However, we are now very close to the next international break. As soon as this weekend's league season is over, the international break is here.
In other words, if Gu Zhen can't return to the squad this weekend, he is likely to report to the national youth team.
The chances are too slim.
Gu Zhen's heart was full of worries, did he really want to leave the first team of Mainz like this?
No, never!
