Chapter 222: The Youngest Striker
Another benefit of joining the German team is that you don't have to qualify for the World Cup.
In 2006, it was held in Germany, Germany, as the host, directly qualified for the group stage of the World Cup round of 32, and there was no name of the German team in the World Cup European qualifiers.
Klinsmann's squad for this recruitment of German players is for the training and warm-up matches in June, and the German team also had a week-long collective training in April, but considering the difference between the Serie A schedule and the German League schedule, Zhang Tiehan does not need to participate in the training in April, and will go directly to the end of the league and then report to the German team.
However, the competition of the German team is also fierce.
As a world football power, the German team has always been a world powerhouse, since history, the German team is full of talents, and the current German team is the same, in addition to Zhang Tiehan, there are three strikers in the German team squad, namely Podolski, Klose and Kuranyi, and the German legend Bobic, who participated in last year's European Cup, was not on the list, which is also Klinsmann's consideration of Bobic's age, after all, the latter is thirty-three years old, and in 2006, he was 35 years old, Even if he can get into the national team, he won't be the main team.
Klose is all in the age of playing, Kulanyi, Zhang Tiehan and Podolski are young stars, of which Zhang Tiehan is only twenty years old, Podolski is not yet nineteen years old, Kuranyi is older, but only twenty-two years old, the forward four-man combination of the German team squad is obviously quite young, and it has reached the point where it is impossible to be young.
Kuranyi, Zhang Tiehan and Podolsky. Not to mention that in the German team, even if he is the youngest and best striker in the world, this time Klinsmann recruited three people in one go and eliminated some veterans, so that the German media saw Klinsmann's determination to reorganize the German team and make the German team younger.
But there are also media voices that are skeptical - there is no problem with being young. The question is what can be said at such a young age?
However, no media questioned the player himself, after all, whether it is Podolski, Kulanyi or Zhang Tiehan, the trio's appearance at the club is speechless, Podolski himself is quite good, otherwise he would not have been a part of the German team Euro 2004, he made 19 appearances for Cologne last season and scored 10 goals, so far this season. He has scored 20 goals in the Bundesliga, and Kuranyi himself was a regular at Euro 2004, and his current table is also quite good, with nine league goals, as for Zhang Tiehan...... The German media can't say anything, maybe many German media have been waiting for Zhang Tiehan to enter the national team for a long time, and Zhang Tiehan's entry into the squad is not surprising at all.
All three are very good, but after entering the national team. Who will be the main force of the three? This is unknown.
"I don't have an absolute main force in my team, who is in better shape. Whoever will play. In the face of media skepticism, Klinsmann said so.
But apparently all three are in very good form at the moment, compared to the three young strikers who are in great form, Klose, who is currently playing for Kaiserslautern, can only be regarded as average, and some media believe that by June, Klose is likely to be squeezed into the bench. After all, Zhang Tiehan and Podolski are in too brave form at present, Zhang Tiehan has almost won the top scorer in Serie A and the Champions League, and Podolski also occupies the first place in the Bundesliga scorer list.
The top scorer in the Bundesliga plus the top scorer in Serie A, the young talent of the nineteen and twenty-year-olds, any national team coach will swallow a few saliva when he sees the German team's forward lineup.
"Kicker" said of Klinsmann's squad. "Klinsmann has given us a glimpse of a bright future for the German team, because the German team has two of the best strikers in the Bundesliga and Serie A, one is 19 and the other is 20 years old, and for at least 10 years, the German team will not have to worry about the striker."
……
Just when Germany was making a big noise for Klinsmann's national team squad, Zhang Tiehan, who was in Rome, was training hard and working hard to prepare for Manchester United.
From the perspective of training, Zhang Tiehan is in quite good shape.
In the morning, Drinel asked his players to do some warm-up exercises, followed by tactical training, and at 10 o'clock, he had his team play a small training match, and Zhang Tiehan scored four goals by himself, drawing a lot of cheers from the fans outside the stadium and shouting his name.
After the training match, Zhang Tiehan was in a rare mood and took a group photo with a few fans.
However, Roma as a whole, the recent situation is not very good, such as the team's backline, Rome did not have to worry, because Mex, who has been injured for more than two months, has just returned from injury, and he has been with Ferrari before being a two-man iron guard combination that Rome can't beat, and Mex's injury is good news for Rome.
But this guy is unlucky enough......
Mex, who had just recovered from injury, had received bad news that he had been banned for six weeks by FIFA for his transfer qualifications.
Mex's alleged breach of contract during his transfer this summer was sued by his former club, Auxerre, and FIFA punished Mex's severely. As a result, Mexes will miss the next five Serie A matches, against Livorno, Palermo, Juventus, Cagliari and AC Milan, as well as two home and away games against Manchester United, and Mex's will not be available.
Drinel can only use other players for the time being, such as the Greek international Dras, but after all, he is a substitute player, and his ability is still worse than Mex.
After the game with Inter Milan, there has been a resurgence of transfer rumours in the Italian media about the Roma player, and according to the newspaper Sport, Juventus are planning to poach the team's famous striker Cassano from Roma by any means.
Rabo Elkan, the president of Italy's Fiat Automobilia and the most favored nephew of the late former Juventus president Gioni Agnelli, has recently revealed that he has always admired Roma's talented striker Cassano.
"What I love about Cassano is that he started from scratch and persevered after an extremely difficult childhood. He's a tough player to manage, but he's got a lot of work. If he stays in the right environment, he will become the greatest star in Italy. Facing media interviews, Elkan said.
Italian media have revealed that sooner or later Elkann will take over the mantle of Agnelli and manage the Juventus club.
Perhaps Cassano's frequent transfer rumours also have something to do with his current situation at Roma, where his contract expired in the summer of 2006 and he has yet to reach an agreement on a contract extension.
Wednesday's edition of Sport Milano revealed that Cassano could join Juventus if he fails to renew his contract with Roma. The Agnelli family has already put a stop in their plans, and they even plan to make Cassano the face of Fiat, which is controlled by the Agnelli family, after he joins Juventus.
And that's not all.
According to Italian media reports, La Liga giants Real Madrid intend to poach Roma's midfield talent De Rossi when the transfer market opens this summer.
According to Italian media, Brazilian striker Robinho will join Real Madrid this summer, so it is unlikely that Real Madrid will bring in any more reinforcements for the striker, and it is more likely that they will be looking for good midfielders around the world.
De Rossi, like Totti and others, is a player born and raised in Rome, so it will not be easy for Real Madrid to poach players. And he just signed a four-year contract extension with Roma in mid-October 2004, and his salary has been significantly increased. The AS Roma club wants to regain its momentum at home and abroad, and they are not willing to give up on this player with great potential. Of course, if Real Madrid are willing to pay De Rossi a huge transfer fee that Roma cannot refuse, everything is possible.
According to another rumour, the opinion within the financially strapped Roma club hierarchy is that Totti and Cassano, as well as Montella, who have been outstanding this season and are the league's top scorers, are not for sale, and that Roma are willing to let go of other players if someone is willing to pay enough for them.
This news is considered grapevine, and no Roma high-level has come forward to confirm it, but many people believe that the news is not groundless, so many clubs are eyeing Roma, especially Zhang Tiehan, who is the best in the table.
The most sincere of them has become the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
It is a tradition of German football that German players belong to Germany, and in fact most German players prefer to play for their own teams.
And Zhang Tiehan is in line with this no matter how you look at it.
Especially when he grew up in Munich, Bayern Munich is the local team in his hometown, many media believe that if Bayern Munich sincerely invites Zhang Tiehan to join, I am afraid that the Roma club will not be able to stop it even if it has the heart, after all, Zhang Tiehan grew up in Munich, and his home is in Munich.
By any measure, Bayern Munich is attractive enough.
In addition to Bayern Munich, there are many teams eyeing Zhang Tiehan, such as AC Milan, they have always wanted to get Zhang Tiehan and Shepchenko to form a forward duo, and Liverpool, who is far away in the Premier League, also hopes to get Zhang Tiehan, but the English media analysis shows that Liverpool wants to get Zhang Tiehan in the summer.
There are even Manchester United media outlets who want the 'wanderer from afar' to return.
But it's only right that United's voice is not taken seriously, especially before the Roma and Manchester United clash with United. What's more, from the analysis of the lineup, Manchester United already has Vanney, and even if Zhang Tiehan goes, there is no place, unless they are willing to sell the Dutchman, which is obviously unlikely.
