Chapter 95: The World Cup Golden Boot

PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets voted by the book friends "soleta", "Wind Sky Dance", and "Real No Sigh ‰", and continue to ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets ^_^

Historically, the most distinctive feature of the 2006 World Cup in Germany is that the defense is more important, and the final championship was won by Italy, the strongest defense, and among the players, except for Klose, there is not even a single one who has scored more than two goals, and there are 8 Silver Boot winners in this World Cup. And in this time and space, the situation has not fundamentally changed, although Zidane was reminded by Gao Jun, but he still failed to control his anger in the final, and the French team also ceded the Hercules Cup to the Italians; Klose, on the other hand, still scored five goals, and if it weren't for Gao Jun, a rising teenager, who magically scored six goals in three games, he would have won the Golden Boot at this World Cup without any pressure.

It is precisely because there are very few players who score more goals that Gao Jun's Golden Boot award is more valuable, and FIFA President Blatter, who already admires Gao Jun very much, praised him as "the biggest discovery of this World Cup". Even Maradona, the king of the ball, said, "If nothing else, I think he can surpass Pele in the future." Although it has the meaning of taking the opportunity to damage the old opponent, it is enough to show that Gao Jun's expression has been recognized by Maradona, because even in Maradona's eyes, not all cats and dogs can compare with Pele. It was from this that Gao Jun began to be recognized as a world-class star, rather than just a star of hope with amazing potential. Of course, whether this understanding can be consolidated depends on his performance in various competitions in the future, otherwise Gao Jun is just a short-lived meteor

Interestingly, Gao Jun's victory in the World Cup Golden Boot also caused widespread controversy: some media and fans believed that Gao Jun's goals were all in the group stage, which was of relatively little significance. And the opponent somewhat despised him, coupled with the extreme play of sacrificing defense, and tactically revolving around Gao Jun to play, this made him amazing, if these factors are excluded, Gao Jun's real strength can not be compared with Klose; Supporters of Gao Jun believe that Gao Jun's efficiency of scoring six goals in three games in the World Cup is simply incomparable to Klose's. Moreover, Gao Jun is a weak team in the Chinese team, and the support he can get from his teammates is far less than that of Klose, so Gao Jun's performance in this World Cup is definitely better than Klose.

As a result of this controversy, coupled with the hype of the German Football Association and the media, the 2006/2007 Bundesliga season has not even begun, and the battle for the top scorer has become a hot topic among German fans, and the top scorer predictions made by major bookmakers are second only to Klose. Even Gao Jun's Dynamo Dresden team has been affected, with the media widely predicting that relegation is unlikely in the new season. However, the final ranking is estimated to be around 12-14, but after Gao Jun and several other Dresden players performed well at the World Cup, the German media have sharply raised their predictions, and it is generally believed that Dresden will have no problem in finishing in the top 10, and may even squeeze into the top six if they play well.

The media enthusiasm made the chairman of the Dresden Dynamo club, Janssen. Rudy was smiling all day, and the season ticket sales were very good, and the jerseys and other related products were also selling very well, which made him confident that the club would be financially profitable this season.

And Gao Jun's agent Mendes, is better than Janssen. Rudy was even happier. The World Cup is really the biggest stage, although Gao Jun has already gained a lot of fame before the World Cup. But he has always been just a new star, and it is impossible for any giants to really spend a lot of money for him, but after this World Cup, Gao Jun has completely overtaken Messi and become the best player under 20 in the world today, and his market valuation has also exceeded the 20 million euro mark for the first time.

Now with Mendes' estimates. Just coupled with the premium brought by Gao Jun's youth, he is sure that he will sell Gao Jun for 40 million euros, or even more than 50 million euros. If you take into account the Chinese market, it is likely that the future transaction price will break a new record in international football. So much so that Mendes even joked to Gao Jun, "If your value rises again, maybe you will really not be able to find a buyer because of this"

That's an exaggeration. But Mendes does realize that with the rapid rise in Gao Jun's value, his transfer options after leaving Dresden in the future have been greatly reduced, and how many giants can afford to pay a transfer fee of more than 50 million euros in Europe? No matter how you count it, it won't be more than two fingers!

However, it is good to have a clear goal, although because of the loan contract, at least Gao Jun cannot go elsewhere until the end of this season, Mendes feels that it is still necessary to pre-operate and pave the way for Gao Jun's future transfer

After the World Cup, Gao Jun even has more and more fans abroad, and his popularity among overseas Chinese at home and abroad is even more red and purple. Mendes is now even a little regretful about signing so many endorsement contracts immediately after the Club World Cup, and if they are all left to talk about now, it is not impossible to double the income

As the saying goes, "some people are happy and some people are worried", for the new season has not yet begun, the team and the star have been hyped by the media, the head coach of the Dresden Dynamo team Stano can't help but be a little worried, he originally wanted to make a fortune quietly, at the beginning of the new season pretended to play those Bundesliga opponents a cold guard, this is good, it is estimated that many Bundesliga teams will play Dresden Dynamo as a strong team in the future, which is not a good news for Dresden, which is quite dependent on defense and counter-attack

Gao Jun also thinks about this, so long before the start of the pre-season training camp, he contacted Kirsten to try his best to start the special training. Although in terms of strength now, Gao Jun is not inferior to the peak of Kirsten, but from this rare short world-class center forward, he feels that he still has a lot to learn. Naturally, Kirsten was very happy with Gao Jun's demand, but when the pre-season training camp began, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure. I took leave for Gao Jun and their special training when I was in the Leverkusen team before, and now I just returned to Dresden to teach, so I am embarrassed to do it immediately, so I can only give Gao Jun more training after the end of the daily training.

However, Gao Jun and others who received special training were obviously more tired, and even the goalkeeper Neuer felt a little depressed about the reduction of his rest and entertainment time, and Xue Lin withdrew from the special training because his physical fitness was really difficult to support, and only Rong Hao, who was extremely energetic, accompanied Gao Jun until the completion of the special training, so although he was only responsible for crosses in the special training, the help he received from it was no less than that of Gui Lin. And because of the decrease in the number of people, the progress of special training has been significantly accelerated, which is naturally a good thing, no matter how it has little impact on normal training, after all, there is still some impact.

The pre-season training camp for Dynamo Dresden went smoothly and nothing surprising happened. However, it is worth mentioning that because of the conservative personality of head coach Stano, the new season Dynamo Dresden will switch to the 4231, which is relatively solid defensively, instead of the 433, which was very aggressive last season.

Of course, if you look closely, the difference between the two formations is not as big as it seems, mainly because the two wingers on the field of Dynamo Dresden now have to take on a greater defensive role, acting more like full-backs than wingers. The right-hand man is very adaptable to this, and he recovers much faster than the doctor expected, and he is very hopeful to play in the first game of the new season.

As for Gao Jun on the left, Stano wanted to continue to use last season's method, and let Gao Jun and Guilin switch positions when defending. However, Gao Jun felt that after this period of hard training, his physical fitness had improved to a certain extent, and he decided to take on this task by himself.

As the leader of the team, Gao Jun can increase the enthusiasm of the whole team to fight and defend, and considering that the teams will definitely take various targeted measures to limit Gao Jun's play in the new season, increasing the scope of Gao Jun's activities may be just a miracle effect, so Stano finally agreed, but the effect of this still needs to be tested by the official game.

Although in the warm-up game, the table of the Dresden Dynamo team was not bad, including the loaned young central defender Hummels, who did show the strength to be competent in the main position, and the arrival of Poland's all-round striker Lewandowski made Zhu Lin finally have a suitable substitute, which is very happy, but the warm-up game is different from the official game after all, which Gao Jun and other Chinese internationals have deeply experienced in this World Cup

Although it seems to be smooth, there are some regrets in the first pre-season preparation period after the return of the Bundeston Dynamo team, in addition to Gao Jun's favorite defender Vidal could not be bought, and the weak coaching staff of the Dresden Dynamo team did not get the significant reinforcement that Gao Jun expected.

Except for Ulf. Kirsten's surprise that the team's coaching staff is no different from last season's Bundesliga 2 game, uh, except that the head coach Stano has obtained the UEFA A-level coaching certificate and can become the rightful head coach of the team, Alexander, who used to be on the table. Ulrich is back in his role as a second-team coach. The reason for this is that, in addition to the fact that the Dynamo Dresden team is not famous enough, the lack of connections in the Bundesliga is also a big factor. (To be continued......)
