"Kim, are you really leaving?"

"Who said that?"

"Cut, Kim. I also have my news channels, and I have heard that several big names are interested in you and have started to contact your agent. ”

May 3, 2011.

Schalke 04 flew from Dusseldorf Airport to Manchester for the second round of the Champions League semi-finals. On the plane, Matip sat next to Jin Ming and quietly asked Jin Ming questions.

Like Matip is an Academy player for Schalke 04.

Matip was a talented player for Schalke and had a lot of agents on his radar at a very young age. When such a player is thirteen or fourteen years old, there are already many agents who start to scramble. In the end, the ones who were able to grab him were all agents who had connections and strength in Schalke Club.

So they were all very quick to hear from them, and Matip heard some of them.

Knowing Jin Ming's agent, he has been busy lately. Because the major giants have sent some people to tentatively contact Wen Dongfang, fans don't know about this kind of thing, but many people inside are clear.

"There are these things. I haven't decided yet, though. ”

Jin Ming was cautious.

Although Jin Ming and Matip have a good relationship, there are some things that cannot be broken apart. After all, now Wen Dongfang is negotiating with Schalke's high-level officials. Wen Dongfang wants to fight for Jin Ming this time for a higher salary, greater rights, and a clause on liquidated damages.

None of them can be easily discussed.

At this time, Jin Ming, as a party, had some things that he couldn't say casually. If Jin Ming revealed that he would not leave Schalke, it would bring great disadvantages to Wen Dongfang's negotiations.

But Jin Ming is unwilling to deceive Matip. After all, the two have a good relationship.

"Kim, don't go. Next season we might have to play in the UEFA Cup. Damn, we can't play the Champions League next year, so we'll go and win the UEFA Cup. ”

"Huh."

Jin Ming smiled slightly.

Jin Ming looked at Matip and suddenly remembered himself last season. Seeing those friends leave the club one by one, I was very sad and in a very bad mood. But now that I think about it, it's not professional football.

Look at Raul sitting in front.

As a child, they were Atletico fans, and their whole family was Atletico fans, growing up in the Atletico academy. But later the Atletico Madrid academy was disbanded, and there was no choice but to join the Real Madrid academy. But no one expected Raul to become the representative of Real Madrid's youth academy.

As soon as he debuted, he was liked by all Real Madrid fans.

It didn't take long to become the prince of Madrid and the darling of Real Madrid fans. In that period with the big brothers of Hierro and Redondo, Raul gave full play to his strength. He became the top talented striker in European football at the time.

With the departure of Hierro, Raul also became the captain of Real Madrid.

It's a pity that Raul, who became the captain, began to falter, and the burden of the captain almost crushed Raul. He was the captain of Real Madrid for seven years, and even Real Madrid at that time was known as "Raul Madrid".

But so what.

Professional football is brutal. A top club like Real Madrid, they want the best players, and Real Madrid brings in the world's best superstars from world football every year. Raul is old, so he was naturally eliminated by Real Madrid. It can only be to leave Real Madrid.

What about you, Raul, who is a decorated player of Real Madrid? What if you're the captain of Real Madrid? Should you leave or still want to leave. Including Guti, they all left Real Madrid.

Compared with Raul's departure from the beloved club, Jin Ming has nothing to say.

"El, don't overthink it. Think about the game against Manchester United. ”

Jin Ming was reluctant to continue to talk about this with Matip, so he changed the topic. When Matip heard Jin Ming say Manchester United, his face suddenly darkened. Because Matip remembered the scene of being bullied by Manchester United in the last game.

Manchester United, a group of bastards, don't know how many times they scored in the last game. Joel Matip was pulled into the centre-back position and was bullied by the Manchester United striker. If it weren't for Neuer's anti-natural performance, it would have been possible to lose five or six.

Therefore, even if Matip is not afraid of the sky, he is also quite worried about Manchester United.

"Kim, do you think we can really beat Manchester United?"

Matip asked Jin Ming in a low voice.

That's what the Schalke players are thinking at the moment. Prior to the last game, the Schalke players were confident and thought that the giants were nothing more than that. Manchester United are here, greet them well. There were even a lot of people chanting before the game to beat Manchester United.

But one game directly broke the ambition of the Schalke players.

Let the Schalke players understand how strong Manchester United is. Even Matip has lost some confidence.

"Of course."

In fact, Jin Ming's psychology is also drumming.

Because Manchester United is really strong. It may seem like their players are ordinary, but Alex Ferguson has the ability to use such a squad of players to create a strong Manchester United.

But Jin Ming was reluctant to weaken his momentum.

Football is round. Although Schalke is not as strong as Manchester United, Rangnick is no match for Ferguson. But who can say that they will win in the competition? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many unpopular.

There is no competition yet, and Jin Ming doesn't want to raise the white flag. Therefore, Jin Ming encouraged Matip and said: "El, we were too indulgent to Manchester United in the last game. It's not like we don't have a chance. Where in the world there are flawless teams, Manchester United definitely have their weaknesses. ”

"Yes."

Matip nodded, but not so confident.

Looking at Matip, Jin Ming couldn't help frowning.

Before the game started, the Schalke players were so unconfident that they could still play. Matip's current psychological situation is not his own thoughts. Schalke has a lot of players like that.

This should be the so-called pre-war before the war.

No wonder the last game was held to a late draw, but Ferguson wasn't much frustrated. Presumably Ferguson had seen this a long time ago.

…………

Old Trafford.

It's huge.

Of course, when playing in Germany, the last thing that Germany lacks is the stadium. Speaking of which, England's stadiums are not as good as those in Germany, and the home atmosphere in German football is not worse than that in English football. Two of the craziest home teams in European football are Schalke and his century-old rivals Borussia Dortmund.

Therefore, when he came to Old Trafford, Jin Ming did not feel any surprise.

However, while not surprised by the size of Old Trafford and the enthusiasm of the fans, Old Trafford is famous in European football after all. In any case, it is also the home of European giants Manchester United, and it is famous in European football. After Jin Ming came to Old Trafford Stadium, he took the opportunity to warm up and have a good look at Old Trafford Stadium.

This is the home of the giants Manchester United, and it has been the birthplace of countless superstars. There are countless superstar players who have left their mark on Old Trafford.

Including the heartthrob Beckham, whom Jin Ming admires very much.

'Our biggest mistake in the last game was letting Carrick play and not pressing in midfield. So in this game we have to take the initiative and press them in this position. Don't let them pass the ball at will. ”

Although he had been training for a long time, Rangnick still had to emphasize the tactics of the game in the last moments.

Because Manchester United is relatively fast, Rangnick set up the backline for this game to create an offside tactic. Of course, this is not only because of Manchester United's fast attacking speed, but also because Schalke's defensive line is slow to turn.

In fact, this is a common problem of German teams.

Germany's centre-backs have this problem, including full-backs. Each one has a strong frontal defensive ability, but once you hit the back, you can hit one by one. It's because they're too slow to turn.

At present, Schalke's backline, Metzeld, Hevedes, etc., have such problems.

Therefore, Rangnick's offside tactics are also helpless.

Jin Ming listened to Rangnick's arrangement below, and was also thinking about his own task. If the strength is insufficient, we must make up for it with hard work. Jin Ming agrees with Rangnick's approach to running and pressing in the front court.

Manchester United can't be without their flaws.

As long as you work hard, you still have a chance to beat Manchester United.

Jin Ming kept cheering himself up in his heart.

It's a pity that after the start of the game, the whole Schalke people were stupid. It should be said that when you see Manchester United's starting lineup, the whole Schalke is stupid. Including Schalke's head coach Rangnick.

Because Ferguson gave everyone a huge surprise.

After seeing the starting line-up and seeing the way Manchester United played, Rangnick was not right. Because Ferguson told everyone that if you want to play with Lao Tzu, you are still too tender.
