Chapter 122: A New Season Begins
"Skill limit:
[Shots]: 5
[Pass]: 10
Points: 22
Item: Bronze Partner Seed*1"
Shen Peng looked at his system panel and fell into deep thought.
Of these 22 points, 20 are rewards for completing hidden missions, one for the purchase of the Bronze Seed, and one for scoring in the German Cup final.
He was thinking about who to give the bronze partner seed to, after all, if he kept it all the time, it was just an ornament, and only when he used it would it reflect its value.
The first thing he thought of was Dedic, but judging from the last friendly match, Dedic's state was not very good, except for the goal assisted by Shen Peng, the performance was very dull at other times, I don't know if it was because the state had not fully come after the injury.
In addition to De Diqi, Shen Peng also thought of two people, namely Gorezka and Reinholz.
The former has always had a good relationship with him, and his strength is relatively good, and now he has confirmed that he wants to stay in Bochum; The latter is also a striker, also a young man, and he is also very hardworking, as can be seen from his insistence on exercising during the holidays.
Shen Peng hesitated, but finally chose Gorezka.
First of all, Gorezka is currently guaranteed to start, and although the bronze partner seed has improved tacit understanding, the cooperation between the two still needs to be practiced, and with his relationship with Gorezka, it is also convenient to let Goryzka practice together at night.
After deciding, Shen Peng chose to use the "Bronze Partner Seed".
Immediately in front of him, a number of figures appeared, all of whom were currently members of Bochum's team.
He quickly found "Grezka" and chose "Use".
I saw the image of Goryzka in front of him, and a bronze sign immediately lit up above his head.
"Congratulations to the host, the Bronze Partner Seed has been successfully used."
After using it successfully, he now only needs to practice with Grezka.
……
On July 13, Bochum's second friendly match was played against Odense in the Danish Premier League, and Bochum won 4-1 in this game, once again showing its strong attacking power.
On July 20, Bochum's third friendly match was played against Aston Villa of the Premier League. In the end, the team lost 2-3, and there was nothing wrong with their tactics in this game, but the players were a little uncomfortable with the style of play of the Premier League team, so they looked a little embarrassed during the game.
On July 27, Bochum's fourth friendly match was held with the same strong team in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen, Leverkusen has not left the top five in the Bundesliga since the beginning of the 09-10 season, and the strength is strong, and finally Bochum lost to the opponent 1-2.
After these two friendly matches, Bochum also exposed some problems, that is, in addition to Shen Peng, the personal strength of other offensive players is indeed a little insufficient, once Shen Peng encounters targeted defense or interference, then the team is easy to fall into a difficult offensive situation.
For example, in the game against Aston Villa, their fierce defense has been interfering with Shen Peng, so Shen Peng was greatly limited in the whole game, and in the end there was only one assist; Against Bayer Leverkusen, although Shen Peng drew the attention of some of the opponent's defense, his teammates' offense only scored one goal.
Although Dedic has often scored goals against teams like Bundesliga and Odense in the past, he is a bit dumb when he encounters a strong team like Bayer Leverkusen.
Neururell is also considering whether to add another striker.
Speaking of strikers, he remembered the young player he had just signed, Mbappe.
Because of Shen Peng, Neu Rurell is also paying attention to him, that kid has performed well in the youth team, and after a few warm-up games, although he has not scored yet, he is very active.
"The current situation of that kid, if he wants to play in the first team, I'm afraid he will have to wait until at least next season, and this season he has to find someone who can make the transition."
With the current quality of the team, relegation in the Bundesliga should not be a problem, but Neururell is an ambitious man who is not satisfied with relegation, and his goal is to at least be able to play in European competition by the end of the season.
At present, the top three in the Bundesliga can directly participate in the Champions League, the fourth in the Champions League qualification, and the fifth to seventh places can participate in the Europa League qualification, which means that he aims to finish in the top seven this season.
In addition to the offensive problems, there are also some holes in the defense, without Shen Peng to play in the back, Bochum's midfield seems to be easy to break through, and although Lacha's performance is getting better and better, Yusuke Tasaka seems to be not suitable for the midfield position.
So he immediately set his sights on the transfer market and started looking for a suitable striker and a midfielder to finish before the league began.
However, due to club restrictions, it was impossible for him to select players with strong quality and high prices, so he ended up opting for Kaiserslautern's Sukuta Passu.
Sukuta Passu is a good player in the box but lacks dribbling on the ball, and Kaiserslautern doesn't happen to have anyone to match him, so he plans to leave this season.
In Bochum, with Shen Peng's assist ability, then Sukuta Pasu's strength can be maximized.
Sukuta Passu's transfer fee will not be too high, estimated at around 500,000 euros, and the only question now is whether Kaiserslautern will sell them, although they are not competitors this season, but Bochum snatched Kaiserslautern's promotion opportunity last season.
Of course, these are not his worries, and the club will naturally have someone to talk about the transfer.
Then he started looking for the back again.
Soon, he found a suitable target: Joanvelt.
Joanwilt played in Dresden last season and is currently on free transfer when his contract expires this summer.
After finding two suitable people, Neururell immediately sent the relevant information to the club, and three of the team's four current signings have not cost the team a single point of transfer fees, but correspondingly, the salary of the player will be relatively high.
With that done, he turned his attention to the next official match: on August 3 at 2:30 p.m., Bochum will take on Baringer SC, an amateur team, away from home at 2:30 p.m.
According to the rules of the German Cup, there are a total of 64 teams in the first round, of which the top 32 teams include 18 Bundesliga teams and the top 14 Bundesliga teams, and they will play the remaining 32 teams, which will have home advantage.
Bochum has no problem playing against an amateur team at the moment, but the German Cup has always been a place for the Bundesliga team to train their newcomers, so he is thinking about who to send on the pitch, after all, they are aiming for European qualification this season, so they will focus on the league.
