Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 203 New location
Zhang Yuan has the habit of extra training every day after the training class, and today is no exception. After the training class, he will practice shooting with Digan, Rakitic and Neuer.

Zhang Yuan and Neuer are in a group, Digan and Rakitic are in a group, and dinner tonight is settled.

The goal they shoot is not the gate, but the small goal that is usually used to practice shooting, and they also have a perverted rule that they can block the goal and stay in the area in front of the goal for three seconds.

With such a small door blocked by two people, it is basically impossible to score.

However, none of them would block the door as soon as they went up, and they would definitely block the door at a critical moment.

The abnormal rule of blocking the goal was proposed by Zhang Yuan. The reason he told everyone is that the shot must be sudden, that is, to exercise the suddenness and accuracy of the shot, so that the opponent has no chance to block the goal.

Everyone felt that what he said was very reasonable, so they agreed to this abnormal rule.

At the beginning, everyone was still a little uncomfortable. They always scored more shots, but later it was different, and fewer shots could be scored. Everyone racked their brains to figure out how to shoot suddenly and avoid the opponent's blocking. .

The defensive side always racks their brains to predict the opponent's shot, and can only stay in front of the goal for three seconds and cannot stand there forever.

In the end, the winners of the game were Zhang Yuan and Neuer, and Rakitic and Digan were very unconvinced.

"I just don't get used to it today, don't be complacent!"

"It's just for you, be happy!"

"If it weren't for Manuel being so bad today, I would win you more!" Zhang Yuan joked with a smile.

"Me?!" Neuer pointed to his nose, "Hmph, it seems that I scored the most goals today!"

Digan and Rakitic laughed, they were happy to see the "infighting" between Zhang Yuan and Neuer.

"Then I also passed it on to you well!" Zhang Yuan retorted.

Just as they were about to leave the gate, the horn of the car behind them sounded, and the four of them looked back, and it turned out that it was Buskens who was working overtime in the office.

The four stopped, and Buskens rolled down the window to greet them, and then said to Zhang Yuan, "Zhang Yuan, can we talk?"

"Of course, Mr. Buskens!"

"Then get in the car, Manuel, you go first, and Zhang Yuan will come after you later!"

Buskens waited for Zhang Yuan to get into the car, parked the car on the side of the road, and said to Zhang Yuan: "I wanted to talk to you after the training, but you don't seem to be free. I happened to meet you when I was going out. Let's talk to you first!"

Zhang Yuan didn't answer, and looked all ears.

"That's right, I want you to play the center forward against Karlsruhe next game, do you have any opinion?"

"Playing the center position?" Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and said truthfully: "To be honest, I like the center position very much. I think I can play a bigger role there!"

"Oh, tell me what you think!" said Buskens.

Exchange tactical ideas with the players, many head coaches will do it, and it is necessary to properly listen to the opinions of the players.

Of course, there are also some coaches who are used to arbitrariness, instilling their own tactical intentions into the players, without considering the players' feelings at all. The players only have to follow. If you don't follow, then the coach will not use you.

Buskens looks fierce, but he is not an arbitrary coach. He thinks it is necessary to listen to the opinions of the players, especially some important players in the team. Zhang Yuan is only the first person to talk to. He also talks to other people.

"I am a center forward. I will run more actively and retreat more. Compared with long passes, I prefer short passes. I can be reused in series at the center position. The two wings can be inserted into the penalty area in a timely manner. , also used as a center forward, I think this is a good tactical change for us!"

"And I'm a center forward. We can control the ball at our feet as much as possible, reduce the opponent's possession time, and reduce the opponent's chance of attacking!"

"Of course as a center forward, I will definitely get more shots. I can do this role well!"

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Buskens was deep in thought.

Zhang Yuan's words inspired him, especially the fact that two wingers can advance into the penalty area to play the role of pseudo-center forward, which is a very good idea.

"Well, you make a lot of sense, so you mean you are willing to play the role of center??"

asked Buskens with a smile.

Zhang Yuan thought of Kuranyi in his head. If he went to play the center position, then Kuranyi would definitely lose his job, but professional football is like this. It is full of competition anytime and anywhere. He himself could not stand firmly in the fierce competition of Inter Milan. Heel, now it's just a replacement for Kuranyi.

"I am very happy, I have no problem!" Zhang Yuan replied confidently.

"Well, let's see what happens next!" Buskens said with a smile.

On the next day, in the intra-team match in the training class, Zhang Yuan was placed in the main center position, while Kuranyi was placed in the substitute center position.

Buskens didn’t seem to give Kuranyi any explanation. Kuranyi’s expression was stern, and he felt that his condition was not good this season. It’s not that his teammates didn’t create opportunities for him, but his feeling of shooting. Extremely bad, wasted too many opportunities.

Generally speaking, Zhang Yuan got more shooting opportunities this season than Zhengyin's center, but he can't compare with others who can hit iron and score goals.

Zhang Yuan was very active and devoted in the match, and the effect was good, but Kuranyi hurt his heart because of the sudden substitute, so he was obviously not active and devoted in the match, and he didn't score a single goal.

Buskens was even more unhappy. Generally speaking, this kind of team training class would not have too much action. Unless there is hatred between teammates, it is not good to hurt people. Although there are occasional accidental injuries, but That is, after all, occasional.

In other words, the intensity of the team's match is relatively low. Kuranyi, as a substitute center, should score a goal anyway, but he can't score in the training session. Buskens can be optimistic about him .

At the end of the day's training session, after discussing with Mulder and Buskens, they gave the 10-man roster and starting list for the match against Karlsruhe on October 28. Kuranyi was placed on the bench, and Zhang Yuan Played the role of Zhengyin center.

Kuranyi is definitely not the kind of person who swallows his anger, and he is definitely not a kind person. After the training session, he went directly to the offices of Buskens and Mulder.

"Mr. Coach, I need an explanation why I'm not the main player in this game. I'm fine and don't need to rest!" Kuranyi's tone was full of sarcasm.

"I don't need to explain anything to you, because Yuri and I are the head coaches, and you must obey our arrangements!" Buskens was angry. He originally planned to talk to Kuranyi, but after listening to Kuranyi, He was too dissatisfied with Ran Yi's questioning tone.

"What if I don't?" Kuranyi is still very tough. When he came to Schalke 04, he was definitely an iron fighter on the front line, but now he is obviously not. He must make his own voice.

"You have two options, either go to the top of the club, or obey our arrangement, waiting for the opportunity is as simple as that!" Buskens said forcefully.

Buskens is not worried at all about Kuranyi looking for a leader. The leader will not support him, because now there are not only Zhang Yuan but also Farfan on the front line. Rutten insisted on introducing Farfan, but Schalke 04 executives are also optimistic about the young Farfan.

"Let's wait and see!" Kuranyi threw down the cruel words without beginning and end, and left!
Buskens and Mulder also couldn't guess what Kuranyi would do.

On the morning of October 10, they set off for Karlsruhe. This time they took the train, and after this away game, the Schalke 28 team will not return to Gelsenkirchen but go directly to Cottbus.

Because they will play against Cottbus on November 11, the time is too tight, they can't go back to Gelsenkirchen to rest.

Two consecutive away games are a severe test for Schalke 04. Fortunately, the strength of the two away opponents this time is not very strong.

Karlsruhe has finally been beaten back to its original form this season. They were dark horses last season and once reached the top of the standings. However, after the first half, other teams got to know them more and their results declined. In the end, they only ranked No. 11, overall a good job.

But this season is not good. Everyone has a clear understanding of him. It is difficult for Karlsruhe to play three tricks. So far they have played 9 rounds, they won three games, and lost all the rest. Last season's home dragon is no good this season, losing two of the four home games.

Recently, they have suffered a three-game losing streak. Schalke 04, who are unbeaten in four rounds, wants to return to the right track of winning. Karlsruhe also needs a victory to stop the team's losing streak. Who laughs? It's really hard to say in the end.
