Chapter 127: The Tragic Alger
Is this guy really naïve to think that after a few good games, he will become an indispensable figure in Bochum?
It's ridiculous, Mullen refuses, and he and his agent are so angry that they take the matter to Edwin.
This season, Bochum's record is very good, and Edwin's mood is much better than in previous years, and this time Alger is very indifferent.
'What Mullen means is what I mean, it's a critical time for the team to be together. The implication of his words is obvious, I will not be on your side, because you have not yet reached the point where I am tempted.
Alger's face was ugly, his agent's face was even more ugly, and neither of them had expected Edwin to react in this way, and Alger really thought he was Bochum's starting center.
"Willian, what now, no one in the team seems to be interested in me right now." Alger is very anxious, he doesn't want to leave Bochum, now Bochum's record is so good, holding this thigh can go to the Bundesliga, to play in the Champions League, if he goes to another team, God knows when he will be able to climb to the Bundesliga.
"I don't know, but I can test the reaction with other teams now, and if there are any teams that are really interested in you, then I think you might as well transfer." This agent really thinks that this one under his hands is a sweet and sweet.
Alger nodded, this is a good solution, you can use other teams to put pressure on Bochum, as Bochum's starting center, it must be rushed.
The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny, Willian has taken a turn in the Bundesliga, and the teams that accept Alger are those teams that are on the verge of the relegation zone. As for the teams at the top of the table, although they are also a little interested in Alger, they are more interested in improving the depth of the bench.
Willian could only tell Alger about this result, Alger was very frustrated, if he went to those relegated teams, he might not even be able to come back to the Bundesliga, but he would never bow to Malen. Paralyzing, that damn mongrel only had Kennedy and Colin in his eyes, and he was blind to himself all day.
"Why, I'm Bochum's centre-forward, why aren't those big teams interested in me?" Alger hadn't yet moved from his fantasies.
"I'm also very confused, I can understand after a circle, you are not wrong with Bochum's Zhengyin center, but the only person who is really interested in this team is Nie Huan, except for him. The rest of you mean nothing to anyone else. Only then did Willian understand why Mullen was so confident, even if Alger asked for a strike, he was unmoved.
"Damn, what do we do now?" Alger no longer has a backbone in his heart.
"Now there is only one way, one is to admit your mistakes to the coach, and the other is to get through this time and leave Bochum. At the moment, it seems that one is not possible for you. So it can only be two. He may not use you again during this time, and you have to be prepared for this yourself. William regretted that he should have persuaded Alger in the first place, and now that it was like this, Alger would leave if he didn't leave.
The reaction of the team's side was the same as William's prediction, Mullen was not sad because of the absence of Alger, and so was Nie Huan. In his eyes, Alger had become a piece of rotten wood, and since it was rotten wood, there was no need to continue to occupy the place.
Although Alger's incident caused a lot of turmoil, it also stimulated most of the players in Bochum, who saw the club's attitude towards the matter, and they completely put 12 points of energy into training during this time. Kennedy, in particular, trained harder than anyone else after seeing Alger's tragic situation. Nie Huan is very relieved, if Kennedy's efforts are not too late now, his skills are much better than Alger's, but his body needs to be strengthened.
This matter has not changed much for the fans, except for Nie Huan in their eyes, everyone else is a floating cloud, even if you change the remaining ten people, they also think that Nie Huan will lead them to victory, and their trust in Nie Huan has reached a blind point.
Alger was completely hidden, and Mullen also changed his tactics to 451, leaving Kennedy alone in front, of course, Colin on the wing can also be a scoring point, and even his role is much more important than Kennedy.
Colin's performance made Bayern and many Bundesliga teams jealous, and when they couldn't poach Nie Huan, Colin became their target.
During this period of time, a lot of news in the newspapers was about his transfer, and the scandals with Bayern were the most, followed by Dort, Colin's games showed people not only his sharpness, but also because of his diligence and hard work, which is completely a simplified version of Nie Huan, and the two of them are the two hardest working Bochum.
Despite being chased by a number of Bundesliga teams, Colin has taken it lightly, and at Bayern's academy he tasted it all, and he knows very well what those teams are really interested in him for.
At the end of another day's training, Nie Huan and Colin took a shower and walked home on their way. For this teammate, he is the most recognized teammate in this team, his diligence, his competitiveness are what he likes very much, and he will not interfere too much with his choice, after all, everyone's path is different.
With all sorts of things, another round of the UEFA Cup group stage kicked off, this time at home, against the Soviet Super League giants Glasgow Rovers, a team that was hailed as second only to Milan in the form of qualification, and now it has lost all three games, and qualifying is only a theoretical possibility.
When the two sides met in the first round, Gascoigne's words in the commentary box became a joke, and before the match began, the goods began to fire again.
'It's a crucial game for Rangers, there is no second way for the team to go but to win, and I am confident that Rangers will get a win away from home.' This time he learned to be obedient, and he didn't deliberately belittle Bochum or Nie Huan, and the lesson of the last round still remembers it vividly.
The rest of the Rangers are not too arrogant, after all, the current situation of the team is not optimistic, this game against Bochum is a failure, only a win has a chance.
The lineup for this match is no different from the last matchup. There were a lot of Celtic fans at the Ruhr Stadium today, Rangers are currently behind Celtic in the league, and now the UEFA Cup is playing like this, and now they really have to give it a go.
These Celtic fans are here to cheer on Bochum today, but their jerseys look too nondescript.
In this game Mullen pushed Colin up front, but more time. Collin is still active on the wings, and the box is full of Kenedy's turf. Although the two of them seem to have similar characteristics, the actual effect is much better than that of Alger and Kennedy.
Alger sat on the bench, there was no surprise today, his name was not in the squad, and now he could only pray that this time would be over soon, and that he would escape from the hellish place of Bochum sooner.
As soon as the game began, the Rangers began to attack Bochum, and Barry Ferguson looked at Nie Huan with a burning gaze. I can't wait to burn him at once, the first duel between the two sides, that kind of shame, I will never forget, if I win that game, then it will definitely not be like this.
Bochum's midfield was thick today, and although the Rangers' attack was fierce, it was quite difficult to penetrate the front court all at once. Their balls are usually in the middle and then they are destroyed by Bochum's players. The whole offensive was thrown into disarray, and an effective offensive could not be organized at all.
But today's Rangers played surprisingly patiently, they seemed to have guessed the intentions of the Bochum players, and they continued to infiltrate, and the two sides entered a kind of anxious battle for the ball.
Nie Huan was still surrounded by Barry Ferguson, preventing him from having any contact with the rest of his teammates. No matter how active the rest of the people were, they still looked at Barry Ferguson as always, no matter how hard they jumped, they weren't lethal, and as long as this guy jumped, Bochum could be overturned.
Barry Ferguson was ready to fight a protracted battle with Nie Huan from the beginning. But after so long, Nie Huan still pestered himself so much, Barry Ferguson felt that he couldn't go on like this, and he had to change.
Nie Huan tossed the ball back and forth to Barry Ferguson, but Nie Huan was just watching the movement of his body and ignoring the ball at his feet, and it was at this time that Barry Ferguson suddenly kicked the ball into the air.
Then without waiting for Nie Huan to react, he ran directly to the front, Nie Huan was speechless, isn't this his exclusive possession, why did he use it, the infringement of Ma Dan.
The ball fell quickly, and just when Barry Ferguson wanted to receive the ball, Nie Huan suddenly rose into the air and gave the ball to his teammates, cutting off the ball in the air.
This is his more commonly used breakthrough action just now, but why did Nie Huan snatch the ball one step ahead of him, is he really one step faster than his own action frequency, or is this guy taking something, why does he always have the upper hand every time he fights him, he is Mr. Su Chao, this guy is just a rookie who has just debuted.
The teammates in the midfield got Nie Huan's pass, and before they came and passed, they were snatched away by the Rangers' players, this time they made a long pass, and the ball directly found the striker who was hovering in the penalty area.
After the striker received the ball, he also looked at the linesman, in this case, it was easy to be blown offside, and it was good to judge, but his judgment was delayed, and the Bochum player behind him broke the ball with a tackle, and the striker was still complaining to the referee that the foul was fouled, but the referee didn't see it at all, so he ignored him, the probability of a foul on this ball is still very large, but it is obvious that he did not get the referee's favor this time.
The ball came to Nie Huan's feet, Nie Huan and Barry Ferguson reversed positions, Nie Huan made a bicycle and then connected a cow's tail, the whole action was dazzling, and Barry Ferguson was completely shaken away.
"Beautiful. Pretty passing, KING rushes up, and the wanderer is in danger. Nie Huan rushed up, and the other players of the Rangers were constantly chasing forward, but now Nie Huan had come to the penalty area, and Kennedy and Colin also rushed to the ball, Nie Huan did not hesitate to pass the ball over the top to the penalty area, and the goalkeeper of the Rangers looked at Colin and Kennedy and looked very entangled, and at the same time scolded his teammates in his heart.
It was a three-on-one rhythm now, and the ball was hit by Kennedy, who didn't hit the goal directly, just gave the ball to Colin, who rubbed it lightly, and the ball rolled into the goal on the inside of the post, and the Bochum team finally took the lead.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL, GOAL, BOCHUM IS AHEAD, THIS COORDINATION IS REALLY PERFECT, KENNEDY AND COLLIN COMPLETED A HIGH-ALTITUDE OPERATION, THEIR COOPERATION IS REALLY NOT TACIT." The commentator's words made Alger sound very harsh on the bench, when he cooperated with Kennedy, if this kind of ball was obtained by himself, he usually came by himself, and he might be able to get assists, but he couldn't score, the best embodiment of a forward line is to score, if you don't score, if you can't score, you can't be considered a qualified center.
Colin and Kennedy slapped their hands, this was the first time the two of them had worked together in an official game, and the performance was really good.
The head coach of the Rangers was on the sidelines, just now his face was still full of warmth, but when Bochum scored, he immediately changed his face, this game really let Bochum score first, Rangers must score two goals if they want to win, this is simply impossible, Bochum's defense is difficult to break under the leadership of Nie Huan, not to mention that he cannot guarantee that he will not be counterattacked by the opponent while attacking. Love is really too entangled, damn Bochum, why is it so difficult, whether the team is attacking or not attacking now.
The Celtic fans in the crowd looked even more excited than the Bochum home fans, and they sang and danced at home, causing a crowd and making the Rangers manager's face darker a lot, damn Celtic, nothing but adding fuel to the fire.
Attack, what are you afraid of, anyway, losing one goal is also losing two goals, there is no difference at all, the Rangers manager has made up his mind. The players on the field were instructed to start attacking frantically, and the ball continued to bombard the direction of the goal from all angles, Enke became very busy during this time, but it is gratifying that the opponent still broke through his own door until now.
