Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter [013]: Cultivating as a Descendant Disciple
The warm-up match for the Mainz team began.
Gu Zhen is on the bench at Mainz, and he is the only striker in their team.
The substitution formation is a single-striker formation.
At the beginning of the game, there were still some problems with the cooperation between Gu Zhen and his teammates, and there were always times when the passing and running were inconsistent, wasting the few opportunities.
After all, there is still a big gap between the strength of the substitute lineup and the main lineup.
Just now, Ivanovic, a senior striker in Mainz's main line-up, scored the first goal of the training match with a header from a precise cross from wide player Marcus Foyerna on the middle.
At this point, the game was only fifteen minutes into the game.
After the goal, the main team was in complete control of the tempo of the game, besieging the substitutes.
Gu Zhen is brows were tightly locked, he really didn't expect that the difference in strength between the substitute and the main force would be so big. And now the strikers on the side of the main lineup are just substitutes before the first team of Mainz, if it weren't for the injuries of the two main strikers, where would they have a chance to enter the main lineup?
Gu Zhen felt a lot of pressure.
If the real main striker returns from injury, will he still have a chance?
Gu Zhen is holding back his strength in his heart, he must perform well, let everyone know his strength, let the coaches see his potential, and strive to stay in the first team of Mainz all the time.
Gu Zhen ran very actively in the front court, and kept waving his hand, signaling the players on the substitute side to press forward, to put more pressure on the main lineup, and not to let them play calmly.
"Run, press forward!" Gu Zhen shouted loudly.
This is a surprise to many people, I didn't expect this young man who had just entered the first team for a few days to dare to command the big guys of the first team.
After the other young players enter the first team, which one is not low-key and low-key?
Gu Zhen, this guy is really different.
Not to mention that after the substitutes pressed forward, the attack of the main team was really limited.
Gu Zhen's proposal is still somewhat useful.
The substitute team suddenly pressed forward en masse, which caught the main team off guard.
Mario French broke the ball abruptly with the help of his teammates and then made a diagonal pass that pushed the ball to the wing. Substitute Elgin Soto scurried forward to catch up with the football, then slashed his leg into an arc and quickly passed the ball into the middle of the box.
Bwach on the sidelines immediately rubbed up with a chance.
This is a great opportunity for Gu Zhen!
Soto played the ball well, past the main defender and into the space between Subotic and Tim Hoagland in the box.
Bwach exclaimed loudly: "Gu Zhen, blast the ball in for me!" ”
It was Bovac who led the bench today and he was hoping to win.
Gu Zhen in the middle of the penalty area was bright-eyed, he had already seen this gap, and the moment Soto passed the football out, he judged the landing point of the ball.
Gu Zhen was like a civet cat in the penalty area, and he dodged around the tall midfielder Miroslav Calhan and rushed to the landing point of the football.
Pretty!
When the ball arrives, the goal will be scored.
All the substitutes were waving their fists and ready to roar and celebrate the goal.
With a bang, Gu Zhen, who rushed up quickly, immediately kicked his legs in the air and kicked towards the flying football.
Unfortunately, he didn't touch the football, which was blocked by Subotic, who stretched out his long legs sideways to intercept, and the ball flew off the baseline.
With a bang, Gu Zhen fell on the turf, a little dazed.
I was in a better position, so why didn't I grab the ball first?
The players on the bench were also shocked and even a little disappointed. There are still some problems with the way Gu Zhen handled this ball, if this ball Gu Zhen directly soared into the air and jumped to the top, he would definitely be able to touch the football faster than Subotic. But this guy actually chose to jump up and kick his legs to shoot, delaying the fighter plane and missing the opportunity.
"Oops!" Bwach shook his head incessantly on the sidelines.
This is not the first time Gu Zhen has had such a situation today, and he wasted the opportunity.
Bwach couldn't stop shaking his head, Gu Zhen was still too young, and he was too disappointed.
Yes, Gu Zhen has a lot of advantages, he runs aggressively in the front court, is full of pressure and defense, and even runs very smartly, and can always appear in the most dangerous position. But this guy still has a big problem with the choice of shooting method and the way some key balls are handled.
This is actually very fatal for a striker.
Bwach turned his head to look at Klopp, his eyes full of questions, as if to say, "Are you still so optimistic about Gu Zhen now?" ”
Klopp also frowned slightly!
Truth be told, this was also a bit of a surprise to Klopp.
If Gu Zhen doesn't deal with this problem, his highest achievement in the future will be a second-rate striker at best.
Klopp was also suddenly a little suspicious, didn't he bring this young man to the first team too early?
Klopp clasped his hands to his chest and watched quietly from the sidelines.
Gu Zhenxin, who was on the ground, was unwilling, he could obviously score a goal, but ......
Boom!
Gu Zhen slammed his fist into the turf, venting his anger.
Gu Zhen didn't blame others, but blamed himself, why didn't he score the ball?
I can't go on like this, I have to score.
Gu Zhen encouraged himself in his heart, he must not disappoint Mr. Klopp occasionally, let alone let himself down.
Gu Zhen cheered himself up in his heart, and then returned to the game.
At this moment, Daniel Gunkel, a wide player on the main side, and Milorad Pekovic in the middle of the field, suddenly picked up a pass in front after a series of one-twos. High school striker Branislav Ivanovic immediately headed the ball, and the young striker Amri who followed up directly met the ball and volleyed it to the ground, sending the football into the substitute's goal, 2-0.
In comparison, Amri's choice is much better than Gu Zhen's.
To be honest, Amri is only 22 years old now, very young. Why does Mr. Klopp pay so much attention to Gu Zhen and not Amri?
The players of the first team of Mainz have some opinions about Gu Zhen in their hearts.
In their opinion, Amri is more valuable to cultivate than Gu Zhen.
Many people feel that Gu Zhen and Klopp must have some special relationship, otherwise, Gu Zhen would not have the strength to be taken care of and cultivated like this.
Gu Zhen clearly felt the change in the gaze of his teammates around him, and their eyes were full of suspicion when they looked at him.
Gu Zhen couldn't help but clench his fists!
My Gu Zhen's strength is not only like this, I will definitely make you change your opinion. I, Gu Zhen, are worthy of Mr. Klopp's training, and I, Gu Zhen, am a genius.
Gu Zhen clenched his fists and shouted: "Ah! Come on Gu Zhen, you can do it! ”
The players around were taken aback by this sudden shout, and they all stared at Gu Zhen inexplicably, what is this guy doing?
Gu Zhen ignored the reactions of his teammates around him, and he secretly cheered himself in his heart.
"Come on, Gu Zhen! Don't admit defeat, don't give up, you can do it, you are a genius! ”
Gu Zhen's eyes were firm and full of fighting spirit.
Although, everyone doesn't know what Gu Zhen is shouting? But they could see Gu Zhen's high-spirited appearance, they were all stunned, and they didn't expect that Gu Zhen would not be decadent.
Klopp's eyes lit up, and he discovered another advantage in Gu Zhen.
From here, it can be seen that Gu Zhen's spiritual attributes are very good. In such a situation, he can still maintain a positive attitude and have a high fighting spirit, which is really not easy.
Klopp felt that his vision was not wrong, and Gu Zhen would definitely shine brightly in the future.
Yes, compared to Gu Zhen's advantages, his shortcomings are really insignificant.
Gu Zhen's shortcomings can be changed through the adjustment of the coaches the day after tomorrow, and his advantage is not something that can be possessed by hard work, this is the so-called talent.
Although Klopp is now the coach of the main side, he still raised his fist on the sidelines and shouted to Gu Zhen: "Xiao Gu, come on!" ”
Everyone in the stadium was stunned and shocked.
Gu Zhen is heart was hot, and he was even a little hot!
What is the Grace of Knowledge? That's it!
Gu Zhen didn't expect that Klopp would support him so much and encourage him at this time. His heart was full of gratitude, but at the same time, he was full of self-reproach.
His current performance does not deserve Klopp's attention and support.
His current performance is simply discrediting Klopp. No, it can't go on like this.
I must prove to the world, that Mr. Klopp was right.
Gu Zhen, you have to come on!
You can't let Jurgen Klopp down, and you can't let yourself down.
Gu Zhen, go charge, you are the best!
Gu Zhen's body was full of fighting spirit, and he immediately turned around and waved his fist at Klopp, as if to say, "Sir, I will definitely come on, I will definitely not let you down." ”
The surrounding Mainz players did not expect that Klopp would openly support and encourage Gu Zhen at this time, and they were surprised in their hearts. It seems that their guess is not wrong, there is a special relationship between Gu Zhen and Klopp.
This made them feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, especially the likes of Mario Francec and Amri.
What about fair play?
They looked at Gu Zhen's eyes that were a little wrong, and their eyes were full of murderous aura, as if to say: "Even so, we can kill you in seconds!" ”
After the game restarted, the players on the main side obviously took care of Gu Zhen, strictly guarded him, and hardly gave Gu Zhen any chance.
During this period of time, although Gu Zhen was full of fighting spirit, he really didn't show anything.
I don't know when, Bouch came to Klopp's side, his eyes looked at Gu Zhen in the stadium, and said lightly: "Didn't you do this to roast Gu Zhen on the stove?" ”
Klopp's eyes stared at Gu Zhen on the court, and said lightly: "I just want to see what kind of performance he will have in such a situation?" ”
Bwach turned his head and stared at Klopp in a daze, his heart shocking.
He really didn't expect that Klopp would have such deep expectations for Gu Zhen. This guy is cultivating Gu Zhen as a disciple, it's really unexpected.
Bwach asked, "Are you really so optimistic about this kid?" ”
Klopp smiled slightly, didn't speak, just stared at Gu Zhen in the stadium with bright eyes.
