A massacre.

A real massacre.

Kim scored four goals and then set up Raul to score twice before leaving the game. In the game, Jin Ming scored four goals and assisted two goals, becoming the best player of the game.

Of course, the other players' performances are also excellent.

Huntelaar's hat-trick, Raul's two passes and two shots, Holterby's one goal and three assists, Draxler's one goal and two assists, Schalke's attacking players were all fed anyway.

The only ones who were unlucky were the Tanningen Club.

In the first round of the German Cup, they suffered a heavy defeat. Schalke defeated Tanningen with a score of 12-0 on the road. It was the match with the highest score difference in the first round of the German Cup.

Extravaganza.

Maybe everyone doesn't pay attention to such an opponent, and thinks it's too easy. But for the players, the individual number jù has changed dramatically. Like Jin Ming, this is the first time in Jin Ming's career that he has scored four goals in one game.

Holterby used a goal and three assists to make Rangnick look at him. That's enough. After all, Holtby trained a lot later in the season and did not participate in the full pre-season training. For such a player, either you are a big name player and can ignore this. Otherwise, you're just a young player and the manager will leave you out of the squad for the new season.

But one game gave him a lot of standing in Rangnick's mind.

Needless to say, Draxler said.

As a top genius who is not yet eighteen years old, his appearance in this game is amazing enough. Let Rangnick be more and more fond of him. Rangnick was originally a coach who liked young players. A young talent like Draxler made him even more ecstatic.

Twelve to zero.

At the end of the game, the fans in Tanningen almost went home crying.

Momentum.

Schalke is really imposing.

There was a lot of praise for Schalke in the media. Especially since Rangnick took office in March this year, Schalke's results have changed dramatically. Slaughter of Inter in the Champions League. Draw with Manchester United and reach the last four of the Champions League.

In the final of the German Cup, it set a record of 6-0 in the history of the German Cup and won the German Cup.

In the first game of the new season, in the first round of the German Cup, the score of 12-0 swept Tanningen.

Strong.

In the eyes of the media, Schalke is really strong now.

Even outrageously strong.

Rangnick has been praised by a lot of media. There are even those who believe that Rangnick has a good chance of creating a new glory in Schalke.

But the first round of the Bundesliga began. Schalke was hit hard. In the first round of the Bundesliga, Schalke challenged Stuttgart away. Shortly after the start of the race, Farfan sprained his foot. Carried down on a stretcher. In addition, Jurado is also injured, so he did not even enter the eighteen-man roster in this round.

Therefore, Schalke has two people in the midfield, Holtby and Baumjohn.

After Farfan went off, Rangnick chose to let Draxler play and let Draxler play in the middle. Pulled Holteby to the right.

Unfortunately, the effect is very bad.

A midfield consisting of Draxler and Baumjohn. Completely crushed by Stuttgart's midfield. Baumjohn is a player with very clear strengths and weaknesses. Baumjohn has good technique, good dribbling and very good passing.

But he has a fatal flaw.

Baumjohn doesn't look like a German player at all. His body is average, he doesn't run much, he doesn't defend much, and his style of play is a bit unique, which has caused Baumjohn's achievements to be low. Of their roster, Baumjohn's ball sense and technique are definitely the best.

But it is precisely because of those weaknesses that many coaches do not like to use him.

Because modern football is a team game, it requires the unity of eleven people. Even if Pele and Maradona play modern football, they need to be integrated into the team. What's more, Baumjohn is 108,000 miles away from Pele and Maradona.

It's Rangnick who uses him more heavily.

The main thing is to look at Baumjohn's dribbling ability, and his ability to cause some chaos by himself up front.

It's a pity that you can face a weak team. Not against a Bundesliga powerhouse like Stuttgart. When Stuttgart pressed Schalke in midfield, Baumjohn's weaknesses were all apparent.

Not a lot of running, not defending aggressively. All put too much pressure on the lower back.

His unique style of play has led him to enter the circle of Stuttgart players every time and again. Then the Stuttgart players would break the ball at Baumjohn's feet and then counterattack.

Another young midfielder, Draxler, is too young.

Draxler's talent is absolutely top-notch. Not much worse than Ozil who walked out of Schalke, and many even believe that Draxler is even better than Ozil in terms of direct threat.

Anyway, Ozil is at Draxler's age, and there is absolutely no Draxler's cousin.

But no matter how good his talent is, he is still a young player who is not yet eighteen years old. And he was born as a left winger, and now he is forced to play in the position of the front midfield, completely lost himself.

After Draxler received the ball, he didn't know how to control the rhythm of the game. His current situation is that he only knows how to be fast, not slow. Of course, at his age, if he still knows how to control the rhythm of the game, then he is running for the king of the ball. So some of the drawbacks are understandable.

The combination of such two people was frantically pressed by Stuttgart's players, and they conceded countless goals.

As soon as they conceded a goal, Stuttgart immediately went on the counter-attack.

Very effective.

Boom, Stuttgart scored three goals, completely extinguishing Schalke's pride.

Zero to three.

Schalke was beaten 3-0 by Stuttgart in the first round of the Bundesliga. After the game, news came that annoyed Schalke even more. Farfan, the Schalke key player, has been diagnosed with a torn muscle. A minimum of six weeks of rest is required. This is still the most conservative result, if the recovery process is not smooth, then it is very normal to rest for more than two months.

Farfan's injury was a big blow to Schalke.

On the right side. The role of Farfan is very large. Before Jin Ming's rise, Schalke's frontcourt assault relied on Farfan.

…………

"Right side, right side."

Rangnick had a headache.

Speaking of which, Schalke is not short of people on the right side. In addition to Farfan, who is an absolute mainstay, Holtby is also a very good right winger. Mainz became the big dark horse in the Bundesliga, and Holtby played as a right winger.

And in the right winger position, Holtby has eight assists this season, and is almost on the verge of winning the title of best newcomer in the Bundesliga last season.

Except for Holtby. Including Jurado, they can actually make a cameo on the right side.

But none of these people Rangnick were satisfied.

Especially after Baumjohn was blown up by Stuttgart's players in the last game, Rangnick's patience with Baumjohn slowly ran out. Baumjohn is indeed very talented and has a very strong sense of the ball.

But none of this worked.

Baumjohn doesn't change the way he plays. In the system of modern football, there would be no Baumjohn. Modern football is slowly eliminating players like Baumjohn.

Rangnick is going to scrap Baumjohn, so the best in midfield are Jurado and Holtby. It's just that Jurado is still recovering from his injuries, and his health is not completely well. At the moment, it is not possible to play normally.

In this case. It can only be with Holtby.

Holterby was used. So what about the right side?

Although Schalke is in the first team, there are still many players who play on the right side, but their strength is too weak and does not meet Rangnick's requirements at all. This gave Rangnick a lot of headaches.

"Kim?"

In the end, Rangnick thought of Jin Ming.

"Let Kim play on the right side."

"And what about the left side? Let Julian get on? But Julian is too young, and there is a risk that both wings will be paralyzed. ”

Rangnick is not Magath.

Rangnick is an academy coach and likes to talk to his coaching staff about tactical matters. Therefore, the members of Rangnick's coaching staff are also willing to give Rangnick advice.

"I also think it's too risky. We can defend on the right and attack on the left. ”

A member of Rangnick's coaching staff. You express your opinion word by word.

They all thought it was too risky to let Jin Ming go to the right side.

Jin Ming played well on the left side. At this time, let Jin Ming go to the right and let Draxler play on the left. If Jin Ming is not suitable for the right side by then. If there is no table xiàn on the right side, it is not a waste of such an important player as Jin Ming.

And Draxler, although he is a genius, has not yet celebrated his eighteenth birthday. It's really too small.

Does he have what it takes to take on the left flank?

No matter how talented he is, even if his talent can be compared to Maradona, he is still too small. It is simply impossible to replace the function of Jin Ming on the left side.

It's better to be honest. Put a steady player on the right side, and the right side is more defensive. Then put the center of gravity of the attack on the left side of Jin Ming.

"No, no."

Rangnick shook his head, then said, "Julian is a genius, a true top genius. He doesn't get crushed by pressure, on the contrary he gets excited. Just like Cesc Fabregas that Arsenal cultivated, they are not geniuses that ordinary people can understand. ”

In fact, the current geniuses of Schalke were all promoted when Magath was there.

Although Jin Ming, Matip, and Papadopoulos were finally relegated to the second team by Magat, all three became famous in Magat's hands. and the talented Draxler who is now the focus of the whole Schalke is also promoted to the first team by Magath himself, and he also completed the appearance of the first team in Magath's hands.

It's just that Rangnick trusts these geniuses more than Magath and gives them more opportunities.

"As for Kim, I'm going to talk to him. In fact, in terms of Jin Ming's technical style, there is actually no problem with the two wings. It depends on how he fights. ”

In the end, Rangnick insisted on his decision. Of course, I have to talk to Jin Ming before that. (To be continued......)
