"Lewis Holtby."

Time is fast.

In the twelfth round of the Bundesliga, after Schalke's away victory over Bayern, the German media praised Schalke and Magath for the rest of the week. During this time, Magath became almost the best coach in the entire Bundesliga.

Of course, Magath has the capital to be proud of.

He led Wolfsburg to the Bundesliga title last season and has already made Magath highly regarded. After his arrival at Schalke this season, Schalke is currently at the top of the Bundesliga again. Last season's Bundesliga champions, VfL Wolfsburg, have not had a great season.

This situation has made Magat's market higher and higher. The praise for Magath in German football is getting louder and louder.

Of course, Jin Ming is also a big topic.

After all, Jin Ming made one pass and one shot in that game and became the biggest hero. If Jin Ming came off the bench in the previous league, the table is not bad. Then after Bayern's game, Jin Ming's reputation directly rose a notch. Because the opponent is Bayern.

But after all, it was a game in the past.

Schalke also have to prepare for the next league game. The day before the thirteenth round of the Bundesliga, Magath began to announce the starting line-up for the next match. This is Magath's habit.

"Wow-"

When Holterby heard Magath call his name, he immediately cheered. I don't care at all about the opinion of the player next to me. I don't care about the feeling of Rakitic, who has been a substitute for two consecutive rounds.

Jin Ming found that the players were all looking at Holtby, so he stabbed Holtby next to him.

When Jin Ming's German was still very poor, Holter, a teammate who could speak English, helped Jin Ming a lot. Jin Ming didn't want Holterby to offend too many veteran players.

"Lewis, calm down, calm down."

"Oh."

Holterby nodded, but the excitement on his face could not be concealed. Jin Ming shook his head, he really didn't know what to say. Holt is better than this character, but bad is also bad. Because it's easy to offend people.

"Kim."

Immediately after Holtby, there is the name of Jin Ming.

Jin Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief the moment he heard his name. After proposing his ideas with Magat, Magat has not been looking for himself these days. This made Jin Ming's mood also go up and down, and there was no bottom at all. I don't know what Magath thinks.

Until now, Jin Ming finally put his mind at ease.

"Kim, we're all starters."

Holterby cheered again from the side. This made a lot of players really very unhappy. Rakitic, in particular, had an ugly face. After all, Rakitic has also had some time at Schalke and has always been the heart of Schalke's frontcourt.

But in the last game he was on the bench.

However, Rakitic was understandable in the last game. Magath used defensive players in order to defend at the Allianz Arena. But what is the reason for this game?

Rakitic really couldn't figure it out.

Rakitic's table this season is not too bad. He didn't know why he was suddenly snubbed by Magath. Isn't he as good as the fussy Holtby?

Rakitic thought so, in fact, many of Schalke's veteran players began to be a little dissatisfied. Because after more than three months of running-in, Magath is clearly starting to determine Schalke's real main lineup.

But what makes many veteran players angry is that Magath is clearly determined to promote young players.

Looking at this round of games, there are three post-90s players alone. Jin Ming, Holtby and Matip, who had an excellent '91 player in the last game, continued to start, and then some young players from '88 and '89.

Next up are Farfan and Kuranyi.

"Okay, the list is here. Kim, stay, everyone disbands. ”

After Magath announced the starting list and substitute list, he asked everyone to go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's game. Then only Jin Ming was left.

"Coach."

By the time everyone left, there were only three left: Magat, Hollebach and Jin Ming.

"Kim, you told me that you were going to fight the main force. I like players with courage, so I'm giving you a chance. ”

"Thank you, Coach."

"Don't thank me."

Magath sneered and said, "I'm just giving you a chance." If you grasp it, then you will be the main force in the future. But if you're not good, then I'm sorry. In the future, you will do whatever I ask you to do. Don't ask me for anything. ”

"Yes."

Jin Ming nodded without any hesitation.

That's how it should be.

That's how things should be in the world. Seeing that Jin Ming was very confident, Magath couldn't help but smile. Then he continued: "Kim, you're not going to take a free-kick. Any free kick that fits your left foot will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes."

Jin Ming was overjoyed.

Schalke's free-kicks were all taken by Rakitic. Rakitic is a well-rounded player, especially with both left and right feet. Free kicks can also be shot with both left and right feet.

Of course, Rakitic is a right-footed player, and left-footed free-kicks are a bit worse than right-footed free-kicks. Now Magath has made Jin Ming the free-kick taker after Rakitic in one sentence.

How could Jin Ming be unhappy.

Jin Ming has practiced free kicks for so many years, but he didn't coax himself to play.

…………

"Number 37, Jin Ming."

"Kim! Gold! Gold! ”

"Oooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!oo

"Whoa—"

At the beginning of the game, the on-site commentator will call out the list of starters. And the shouting of the players' names is very rhythmic, leaving time for the fans to applaud. Let the starters feel the cheers of the fans.

Jin Ming used to be very envious of this.

It's a pity that Jin Ming has always been a substitute player and can't enjoy such cheers like the starters. Today was the first time Jin Ming started at the Schalke Stadium, and the first time he accepted the cheers of the fans at the beginning of the game.

However, Jin Ming did not put his excitement on his face, but a very strict expression.

Because of today's opponents.

This is November 21, 2009, the thirteenth round of the Bundesliga. Schalke host Hannover 96. Schalke are the top team in the Bundesliga, and Hannover 96 have not had a very good season and are currently in the relegation zone.

Such a game should not have received much attention.

But today is different.

Because on November 10, 2009, eleven days ago, Hannover's main goalkeeper Robert Enke was hit and killed by a train. At present, it is believed that Enke died by suicide. It was a sensation.

Not only German football, but the whole of European football is in an uproar.

Today's game is the first Bundesliga match since Enke's suicide. So the attention is a little bit higher.

In fact, if Enke hadn't committed suicide, Jin Ming really wouldn't know Enke. There are many good goalkeepers in Germany, but the ones Jin Ming really knows and has watched the game are only goalkeepers such as Kahn, Lehmann, and Adler.

But this is an unfortunate thing after all, and Jin Ming can only express his sadness at this time.

"Doodoo-"

Before the game, after everyone mourned Enke, the game still started as scheduled.

Hearing the referee's whistle, Jin Ming did not immediately enter the game, but looked at Magath on the sidelines. This is a chance that Magath gave himself, and it is also an opportunity that he has fought for himself.

There must be no waste.

Be sure to catch it.
