Chapter 205 China Derby
Soon Buskens and Mulder made substitution adjustments. Kuranyi replaced Zhang Yuan in the 63rd minute, and an away game will soon be ushered in. Zhang Yuan cannot be used excessively, otherwise Zhang Yuan, whose physical fitness will decline Far certainly can't stay in good shape.

Kuranyi didn't do anything special after that conversation, and Buskens didn't make things difficult for him. He was still qualified as a substitute in this game, and now he's on the field again.

Maybe it's because I realized that my argument won't bring me any benefits, and performance on the court is the best way to fight back.

Kuranyi worked very hard after playing, and Karlsruhe played one less player, so he still got more opportunities. The more urgent things were, the less he could show his true strength, and he wasted a lot of opportunities.

In the 81st minute, when Farfan made a cross, Kuranyi jumped up and headed the goal. The shot was too direct, and the ball was punched out by Miller.

Outside the penalty area, Rakitic volleyed forward without any defense, and the ball scored again. Schalke 04 led 5:0 in the away game.

Kuranyi contributed an indirect assist.

完成这个球拉基蒂奇也被换下，而最终全场比赛的比分也就是5:0，沙尔克04换帅如换刀，又一次取得了5:0的大比分，上个赛季换帅后沙尔克04也是踢出了一场5:0的大比分。

The post-match press conference was attended by Buskens and Zhang Yuan. The reporters are no strangers to Zhang Yuan appearing in the center position. Zhang Yuan played the center forward in the last match against Wolfsburg, but this game The meaning is different.

The last time can be understood as temporary, so this game is obviously a positive signal. Zhang Yuan will compete with Kuranyi for the center position. Schalke 04's center position will not be dominated by Kuranyi alone.

"Mr. Buskens, Zhang Yuan has played as a center forward today. Does this mean that he will play as a center forward?"

"Let me correct you. Zhang Yuan didn't change to play as a center forward. He has played as a center forward before. As for this game, he played as a center forward is just a tactical arrangement!"

"Are you satisfied with his performance today?"

"He played very well, I am very satisfied with his performance!" Buskens said with a smile.

"Zhang, are you satisfied with your own performance?" The reporters turned the topic to Zhang Yuan.

"I'm very satisfied. It's not the first time I've played this position. I believe I can do a good job as a center forward!" Zhang Yuan expressed to the reporters in an affirmative tone.

"The final score of this game was 5:0. Schalke 04 ushered in a big victory. What do you think of this game?"

"Karlsruhe is a very strong team, but we performed better today. It is a matter of course to win. I am very happy that we are back on the winning track!" Zhang Yuan glanced at Karlsruhe at the other end Coach Becker replied that he originally wanted to say that Karlsruhe made too many fouls and made too many moves, but he stopped talking.

"Zhang Yuan, Schalke 04 will face Cottbus in the next game away, and the Bundesliga will stage a Chinese derby. Are you confident of winning the final victory?" a domestic reporter asked.

"Of course I have confidence. Shao Jia and I are very good friends, but I will not be polite on the court. According to our Chinese saying, everyone is their own master!" Zhang Yuan laughed.

The Chinese Derby is a hot topic in the domestic media, because Zhang Yuan and Shao Jia are the only pair of Chinese players who can compete in the Bundesliga, everyone will inevitably have high expectations for this game.

But Zhang Yuan didn't care about the derby of this significance. What he cares most about now is the victory of Schalke 04. He hopes that Schalke 04 can reach a higher level on the court this season. extravagant hope.

Rest in Karlsruhe for one night, and on October 10 the next day, the Schalke 29 team set off directly for Cottbus.

Shao Jia had called Zhang Yuan before, and the two of them had to get together in Cottbus this time. The two of them usually had a lot of phone calls, but they seldom had the chance to meet each other.

So when he arrived in Cottbus that afternoon and settled in the hotel, Zhang Yuan asked the team for leave to meet Shao Jia's appointment.

Shao Jia's life in the team is not easy, and the strength of Cottbus determines his situation.

Cottbus struggled to avoid relegation last season. This season's situation is even worse. Since the beginning of the season, it has only won one game, lost six games, and tied three games. The points are only a pitiful 6 points. The bottom of the list.

The home record is ridiculously poor, only one victory, and the remaining 4 games were all lost. The home record is worse than the away record, which is simply incredible.

It is not without reason that they play like this at home. Whether it is the head coach Prashnika, the players, or the top management of the team, they all hope that the team can win at home and get three points. For example, they have to play much more openly at home.

However, it is precisely because of this kind of thinking that they play against other teams at home. They are often the ones who are injured. They have conceded 10 goals at home so far, an average of two goals per game. On the contrary, they only conceded 5 goals in the away game, averaging only one goal per game.

Shao Jia's strength is still there, but Prasznica has been using him with reservations since he was injured last year. His condition has not improved significantly this season, and he can only get some playing time as a substitute.

To be honest, most foreign head coaches have prejudices against Chinese players. Zhang Yuan is just a special example, but Shao Jia’s example is a common one. The head coach just doesn't trust him, gives him few chances, and no one can do anything about it.

On the second day, Schalke 04 went to a local small club training venue for recovery training. The time interval was too short, and Buskens did not conduct specific targeted drills. He only called the players to conduct tactical exercises at the end of the training. Explain, against Cottbus, Buskens and Mulder's thoughts are still based on me, and I don't need to pay too much attention to Cottbus' tactics.

In the evening, Shao Jiayi called Zhang Yuan and said that he would start this game. Zhang Yuan was very happy to hear that. To be honest, he had never faced a Chinese player on the court. So this is the first time, and the Chinese Derby is worthy of the name. .

That night, not only Shao Jiayi called, but also agent Raiola called Zhang Yuan.

He called to congratulate Zhang Yuan. On October 10, "Turin Sport" announced the shortlist for the 29 Golden Boy Award.

The candidate list has a total of 40 candidates for young players. There are 6 candidates in the Bundesliga, namely Breno (Bayern, Brazil); Kroos (Bayern, Germany); Ozil (Bremen, Turkey); Rakitic ( Schalke 04, Croatia); Zhang Yuan (Schalke 04,) Augusto (Leverkusen, Brazil).

Zhang Yuan was included in this list. Of course, not only the German media has been working hard to promote Zhang Yuan, but Raiola is also using his own relationship to promote Zhang Yuan. This agent has two players selected for this list.

In addition to Zhang Yuan, there is also Balotelli, but in Raiola's eyes, Balotelli certainly has an innate advantage in the attention of giants, but in terms of personal performance and influence, he is still the best player in Europe. It cannot be compared with Zhang Yuan.

Therefore, this agent used to create momentum for Zhang Yuan on different occasions, and often made shocking remarks in front of the media, in order to attract the attention of the media to Zhang Yuan.

"Zhang Yuan is the most talented player born in the 90s, sorry, there is no one!"

"If even Zhang Yuan cannot be selected for the shortlist, it will only prove that this award is useless!"

"I know that some people are always prejudiced against Chinese players, but what I want to say is that Zhang Yuan is not only from China, this genius also belongs to the entire football world!"

Well, the wind is not afraid of flashing his tongue. Raiola often speaks out in front of the media, but the media like this kind of news. This kind of argument still makes the media swarm like something smelling fishy. Zhang Yuan's attention and influence naturally increased.

Judging from the candidates for the Bundesliga, Zhang Yuan has a great advantage, and the other players are not so stable in the team, let alone their eye-catching performance.

As for teammate Rakitic, his main position is not stable this season, and his performance on the court is average.

It can be said that Zhang Yuan is the No. [-] young talent in the Bundesliga. The young rookies selected in the Bundesliga all secretly know that they are basically going through the motions with Zhang Yuan.
