Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 206
Zhang Yuan is also the most powerful contender on the entire list. Each league has its own supernova, and the media of each country also hypes it up. However, no matter how powerful the rookies they list, scoring assists, and their status in the team are difficult Comparing to Zhang Yuan, he was at a disadvantage invisibly.

Of course, the most popular is the most popular, and whether it can be selected in the end depends on those media votes. It is Einstein's theory of relativity that is fair or not.

Zhang Yuan himself really wants to win this award, because this is his first honor.

Raiola also hopes that Zhang Yuan can win the Golden Boy Award. Winning this means that Zhang Yuan's talent has been generally recognized by European football. Nature also has benefits.

He is even planning that after Zhang Yuan won the award, he will have a good talk with the Schalke 04 club. Although the contract has only been signed for half a season, he believes that Zhang Yuan's salary should not be just 100 million.

On the phone, Raiola also revealed a signal that Inter Milan wants to buy back Zhang Yuan next summer.

repurchase?How many months has it been?Zhang Yuan was stunned. Inter Milan wanted to repurchase the season before halfway through? !
Zhang Yuan asked Raiola whose idea was this?

Raiola said it was Branca's idea, and as expected, there is nothing strange about Branca's idea.

He has always been quite optimistic about Zhang Yuan, but it is his idea that Zhang Yuan will definitely not go back, because this is not the idea of ​​the head coach Mourinho.

"His idea?! Then I don't want to go back!" Zhang Yuan said directly to Raiola.

Zhang Yuan's reaction was not unexpected by Raiola. Zhang Yuan, a Chinese, is smarter than anyone else, and he knows what he needs.

From the bottom of his heart, Raiola wants Zhang Yuan to transfer once every season. The higher the transfer fee, the better, so that he can receive a lot of commissions. is dissatisfied.

But the reality is that Zhang Yuan still needs to grow. He now needs a main position and sufficient playing time, otherwise his growth will be hindered.

The transfer to Schalke 04 Mino Raiola has already decided that no matter what, Zhang Yuan will stay in Schalke 04 for two or three years before mentioning the transfer.

Blanca's phone call just made him think of going back for a moment, and he didn't feel any regret when Zhang Yuan refused.

"I also think it is better not to go back. You are doing a good job in Schalke 04 and your position is very solid. This is more beneficial to your growth!" Raiola said.

After talking with Raiola on the phone, Zhang Yuan told Anna that he was shortlisted for the Golden Boy Award.

"What is the Golden Boy Award?" Anna asked curiously.

Anna is not a football fan in the first place, and her understanding of football is not very high. She just likes Zhang Yuan to play football, and the team she supports also follows Zhang Yuan. When Zhang Yuan was in Inter Milan, she supported Inter Milan. Zhang Yuan In Schalke 04, he supported Schalke 04. It is understandable that he does not know about this kind of award.

Zhang Yuan explained the award patiently and expressed his desire to win the award.

"I don't know who else is better than you at your age?! You will definitely win the award! Don't worry!"

"Haha, you are a medieval prophet?!"

"Yes, but I am your prophet!"

"Okay, then do you predict that we will win tomorrow?"

"Of course I can, because of you!"

Damn, Anna's logic makes Zhang Yuan really speechless, she really is my most loyal fan!
On November 11st, the Friendship Stadium, the home stadium of Cottbus, was full of seats. The capacity of this stadium is relatively small, with only about 1 seats. There are very few Schalke 2 fans in the stadium. The main reason is that the distance is too far. In addition, Schalke 04 There are not many local fans.

When Zhang Yuan was warming up, he saw a group of special fans. Some of these fans were wearing Schalke 04 jerseys, and some were wearing Cottbus jerseys, but they stood together.

They are a group of Chinese fans, both foreign students and local Chinese. The gimmick of the Chinese Derby attracted them to the stadium to cheer for Zhang Yuan and Shao Jia.

Some of them held posters of Zhang Yuan, some of Shao Jia, and some had a slogan "Shao Jia, Zhang Yuan, come on!"

Zhang Yuan came out to warm up, and they responded with warm applause. Zhang Yuan smiled and waved to them, which attracted their screams and shouts.

In this game, Buskens and Mulder made a rotation, because there is still a home game against Panathinaikos on the 4th. This is a game that must not be lost again. Schalke 04 must stay strong .

Degan replaced Bolton on the back line, partnered with Hewedes at the center back, Rafinha was still the right back, and Pender was replaced by Englar on the left.

There was no change in the midfield, Zhang Yuan was in the center of the striker, Altintop Jr. was replaced by Sanchez, and Asamoah replaced Farfan.

On the Cottbus side, Prashnika formed a formation of 4231. The intention was obvious. Prashnica wanted to kill Schalke 04 at his home court as always.

Shao Jia appeared in the attacking midfielder's position, which is the position he is most familiar with and most comfortable with.

Just looking at this formation, the chances of direct confrontation between Zhang Yuan and Shao Jia are very small, but the Chinese fans obviously don't care about this. The important thing is that the two can compete together, which is of great significance in itself.

After the kick-off, Cottbus really came aggressively, the rhythm was fast, and he wanted to grab the start. Schalke 04's away record this season was mediocre, but they conceded a few more goals than at home.

However, Schalke 04 did not let them get what they wanted. Buskens and Mulder rotated back and forth, but the important positions in the midfield were not rotated. Jones, Ernst, and Rakitic were all present. Strengthen the center Zhang Yuan who likes to retreat and respond. Cottbus, like Karlsruhe, can't get any advantage in possession of the ball with five midfielders.

However, Schalke 04's rotation area is still relatively large, and the coordination between players is still not as good as the previous game.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, neither side could do anything to the other. Zhang Yuan got 20 shots in the first 2 minutes, but he wasted all of them.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuan said to Rakitic: "Ivan, the stalemate between the two sides has been too long now, I think we can try a fast pace, and you press harder!"

Rakitic nodded, that is, from 10 minutes onwards, Schalke 04 began to speed up the offensive rhythm in the frontcourt, and Jones, Ernst, and Rakitic all pressed higher.

All of a sudden, Cottbus's defense was broken. They didn't adapt to it and couldn't keep up with Schalke 04's rhythm. Schalke 04's opportunity appeared.

In the 23rd minute, Schalke 04 took possession of the ball, Ernst took the ball and passed it to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan kept the ball and passed it to Rakitic, who came up to defend, and Rakitic split the side , Passed the ball to Asamoah.

Zhang Yuan had already run to the right road at this time, Asamoah and Zhang Yuan cooperated with each other and successfully got rid of Qi Bixi.

Cross the middle of the restricted area, who is the middle?It was Ernst who had passed the ball and kept inserting into the penalty area. There was no one around Ernst. He pushed and shot. Neither of Cottbus's two central defenders could block the ball, nor did Tremmel. Nothing can be done!
With this goal, Schalke 04 leads Cottbus 1-0 away.

Watching the Schalke 04 players celebrating in the stadium, the Cottbus fans booed and cursed a lot.

Cottbus is an East German team. Germany was unified more than ten years ago, but the development level of East and West Germany is very different, even now. The East German people are not satisfied with the status quo, and they are also affected by Regional discrimination is a problem in every country, including Germany.

Most of the Cottbus fans are locals. Naturally, they are not so used to West Germans, and they are naturally not interested in West German clubs. It is a bit too much to say that they hate them, but they are definitely unhappy.

Falling behind again, Prashnika himself has not forgotten that this is the first time this season that he has fallen behind at home.

He has nothing to do about conceding the ball. Cottbus did a good job in the first 10 minutes, but a sudden change in Schalke 04 created a real killing intent for Cottbus. This is the gap in strength. Don’t accept it. .

I have studied Zhang Yuan Prashnika for a long time, but I still can't find a way to completely limit him. In defending Zhang Yuan, he can only stack numbers in the area. This is a very stupid way, but the players of Cottbus Your strength is limited, what else can you do if you don’t do this? !

The more he was on the court, the more he couldn't understand Zhang Yuan. His running was irregular, sometimes he ran around, sometimes he walked slowly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But often when he changes, Cottbus will face a test. Like the goal lost just now, Zhang Yuan is a key figure. He made two connections in the middle, and then Asamoah made a pass. Very easy to score.
