Chapter 180 Another Year of Derby
Degan is full of hope for his future in the team. He believes that he must have a chance, so he did not relax himself during training.
He did not return to Milan during this vacation, but stayed in Schalke, waiting to come back with Zhang Yuan for extra training.
The more he practiced with Zhang Yuan, the more he felt that he had gained a lot. Zhang Yuan was obviously much stronger than in Rimini. He had made great progress in all aspects of body and technique. It was very difficult for Digan to cope with it. , but the harder you work, the more you can exercise your level.
In private, Degan compares Zhang Yuan with his brother Kaka. The two are slightly different. Kaka shoots better than Zhang Yuan. Although Zhang Yuan also scores a lot of goals, Degan feels that the current Zhang Yuan is inferior to Zhang Yuan when it comes to seizing opportunities. Kaka on.
Kaka is an offensive midfielder, and Zhang Yuan is a winger. Occasionally he will be at the forefront, and occasionally he will appear in the position of an offensive midfielder. The position is more flexible.
Zhang Yuan scored a lot of goals, Degan saw a little way, Zhang Yuan shot a lot, whether it was his teammates or himself, he created a lot of shooting opportunities, Zhang Yuan was not polite at all, he shot the goal himself, from a certain point of view It makes sense that Zhang Yuan is the Iron King.
In contrast, Kaka does not have as many opportunities as him, which of course has something to do with the defensive strength of the Serie A and Bundesliga.
But Zhang Yuan is better than Kaka in terms of dribbling. He is fast and explosive, and his sudden stop and change of direction cause headaches for defenders. Moreover, his control of the ball is like a Brazilian star, and it is difficult to break his ball easily.
It is a kind of torture for Digan and Zhang Yuan to practice together, but this kind of torture greatly improves Digan's prediction and positioning ability.
In fact, everyone's abilities have their own limits, and the predictive response can also be improved through continuous duels. At least Digan has not reached his own limit, and there is still room for improvement.
The three-day holiday has passed, and the whole team practiced together. The Schalke 04 team also has some international footballers, but they are certainly not as many as those giants, so the impact is slightly smaller. As far as the main lineup is concerned, there are only Rakitic, Ku Lan Yi and Westerman are absent, but everyone else is present.
On September 9, Schalke 13 will challenge Borussia Dortmund in an away game. The Ruhr Derby is the highlight of the fourth round of the league.
Last season, Schalke 04 achieved a double kill against Dortmund, which is regarded as revenge, but a derby is a derby. There is an old saying in China that when is it time to repay the injustice, I advise everyone to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, but who can do it? .
The strengths of Dortmund and Schalke 04 were not accumulated in one day, so this game is destined to not be peaceful. Both Schalke 04 fans and Dortmund fans have high hopes.
At present, Schalke 04 has 7 points and ranks first relying on the advantage of goal difference. Schalke 04 fans naturally hope that the team can win Dortmund and continue to lead.
Dortmund also has 7 points now, and the fans naturally hope that the team can win Schalke 04 and slam their opponents down and step on them.
Last season was a disappointment for Dortmund. Under the leadership of Dole, they only accumulated 40 points and ranked 13th. They missed the European war.
As soon as last season ended, Dole left, and Dortmund invited coach Jurgen Klopp.Klopp had been coaching at Mainz before. Under his leadership, Mainz successfully entered the Bundesliga and stayed in the Bundesliga for two consecutive seasons. However, due to financial constraints, the stage that Mainz can provide him is too small So, after eight years at Mainz, Klopp came to Dortmund.
This season he started very well in Dortmund, beating Leverkusen 3:2 away in the first round, drawing Bayern Munich tenaciously at home 1:1 in the second round, beating Cottbus 1:0 in the third round away, and achieved With two wins and one tie, they rank third in the standings with a goal difference disadvantage.
Facing such a Dortmund with an excellent start, I believe it will not be easy for Schalke 04 to score a point at Dortmund's home court.
In the last round against Bochum, Zhang Yuan spent time in the stands. Although everyone knew that Zhang Yuan was already training, many reporters still asked about Zhang Yuan's situation.
"Zhang Yuan, I guarantee that he has fully recovered and will play 100% against Dortmund in the next round!" Coach Ruteng told reporters.
"I feel that I have recovered to 100%. Whether I can play depends on the coach's arrangement! I hope we can bring a victory to the fans!" Zhang Yuan said in an interview.
"Zhang Yuan, he is indeed a very threatening player, but Schalke 04 does not only have him, we will find a way to limit them, and we will win!" Klopp said.
"I appreciate Zhang Yuan, but we will win the final victory on the court!" Schalke 04 has talent, and Dortmund also has it. Shaheen replied in this way.
The media also uncovered the past adulthood, and Slomka's embarrassing incident last year was uncovered again, and the two sides had a big war of words.
Rutten's mental pressure was caused by the external atmosphere like facing a big enemy, and he seemed serious in training, which made the players nervous.
During the training during the national team match day, Schalke 04 also arranged an internal friendly match against Schalke 04's youth team.
Schalke 04's youth training has always been good. In this game, a young player, Julian Draxler, performed very well. He is only 15 years old now and scored a goal for the first team.
Draxler found Zhang Yuan after the game and asked for Zhang Yuan's jersey. Zhang Yuan did not refuse, handed the jersey to Draxler, and said mischievously, "Julian, can you exchange your jersey for me?" ? I will treasure it well!"
Draxler was flattered. Zhang Yuan is now the main striker of Schalke 04. Everyone thinks that he will be the top card of Schalke 04 in the future. Now he actually asks himself for the jersey? !
Draxler quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Zhang Yuan, who was much taller than him, patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and then left.
Draxler was still holding Zhang Yuan's jersey in a daze, when a little boy who was in charge of picking up the ball ran over.
"Hey, Juli, you're so lucky! Zhang's jersey!" the little boy called.
Draxler came back to his senses and found that the jersey in his hand had run into the little boy's hand.
Draxler grabbed it and said proudly, "This is mine!"
The little boy pursed his lips and said, "One day I will too!"
This little boy is also a member of the youth training, but due to his age, it is impossible for him to play football, so he was temporarily hired as a ball boy.
Many of these kids want to become football stars, but not everyone can do it. Zhang Yuan is their unattainable idol. Usually, they may not have many opportunities to get in touch with the first team, but they are a little more than outsiders. Draxler It is their closest idol, and this idol can also exchange a few words with him at any time.
Draxler is also full of longing. Zhang Yuan is not much older than him, but he is firmly in the main position in Schalke 04. Draxler hopes that he will have such a day, and hope that he can fight side by side with Zhang Yuan.
The game against the youth team is more about letting the first team look for their status. After all, there is no official game for half a month during this period. Ruteng is also worried that everyone will get points for the game. Judging from the situation shown in the game, it’s okay. The players did not rust.
On September 9, in Dortmund, the sky was clear and the temperature was 13 degrees Celsius.
After 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Schalke 04 team bus slowly drove into the parking lot, and the players got out of the bus to pick up their luggage and walked to the visiting team's locker room.
Players on the bus outside the stadium will inevitably be abused by Dortmund fans, but not in the car park.
After Zhang Yuan and his teammates entered the locker room, they changed their jerseys and went out to warm up. This work is very important, if you don't want to get injured inexplicably.
Today Dortmund arrived at the stadium earlier than Schalke 04. When the Schalke 04 players went out, the Dortmund players were already warming up.
Zhang Yuan had already been here last year, and he didn't feel any pressure in his heart, but this time the treatment he enjoyed was much more grand than the last time.
The last time it was Zhang Yuan's lore that led Schalke 04 to an away game against Dortmund, how could the Hornets fans not hate him, so since he came out to warm up, he was booed a lot, Zhang Yuan could also hear some fans scolding He's a **** and a yellow monkey, there's no way there's racism everywhere, and even without them they'll piss you off with it.
Zhang Yuan didn't have any reaction to this, as long as he didn't insult his family, he could bear it, yellow-skinned monkey? !Then he can also say that the person who scolded him is a white-skinned monkey, because everyone's ancestors are monkeys, and the ancestors of white people are also monkeys, not pigs!
