Chapter 209 Defensive State

Raiola is also dissatisfied with the status quo. The only player under his banner is Zhang Yuan. The commercial contract is divided into two sides, and Mai Xuewen is obviously out of his control.

Speaking of Zhang Yuan, it is Xiao He who has shown his talents after all. Domestic sponsorships must be more than foreign ones, and the sponsorship fees are actually similar to international ones.

It is precisely because of this that Raiola felt that he did not dare to give up this part of his rights at the beginning. He is the real agent. How could he let Mai Xuewen do this in a sneaky way!

The two communicated with Zhang Yuan many times behind Zhang Yuan's back, and expressed their demands to each other. How could the two of them agree on such an issue involving money.

Mai Xuewen said that you Zhang Yuan’s so-and-so endorsement contract should be shared with me, and Raiola said that I should be allowed to do the commercial endorsement contract in China, because you have no agent qualifications at all.

And Raiola came here this time to discuss this matter, because neither of them is satisfied, so Zhang Yuan can only let Zhang Yuan come to arbitrate.

When they arrived at Zhang Yuan's place last night, neither Raiola nor Mai Xuewen said anything about it, because Zhang Yuan was about to face a bad battle, and they didn't dare to distract Zhang Yuan.

But now that they were in the private room, the two of them didn't agree with each other in a few words, which immediately brought up the differences between the two of them.

At this time, there was a huge cheer from outside the court, because Joseph was watching the game on the seat outside, and the two of them did not close the floor-to-ceiling glass door, so the sound interrupted their conversation.

Well, the ball game has begun!The two ended their conversation resentfully, and sat on the seats outside to watch the game, with Joseph on the left and right.

Joseph tilted his head to look at the two of them, said nothing, and focused on the court again.

Schalke 04 can be regarded as sending the strongest lineup in Buskens' mind.

Goalkeeper: Neuer
Linebacker: Raffinia Bolton Westman Pender

Midfielder: Jones Enstrakitic
Forward: Zhang Yuanfar van Asamoah
Not only did Degan fail to play, but Hewedes also failed to play. The full-backs used Rafinha and Pender, which basically showed that Buskens was planning to attack.

There is no doubt about this. In the locker room, Buskens said firmly that we don't have to do anything in this game, just attack, and don't care about the opponent.

Panathinaikos coach Ten Carter also sent a 433 formation. This formation was also the formation against Schalke 04 in the last round, and there was no adjustment in personnel.

Goalkeeper: Galinovic
Defender: Ventra Simangu Armas Nelson

Midfielders: Moon, Gilberto, Matos
Forward: Creighton Sarpintis Calagones
The most famous players in the team must be the Brazilian Gilberto and the captain Calagones.

Gilberto previously played for the Arsenal club in the Premier League. Everyone knows that the Arsenal club is quite harsh on players over the age of 30. Part of the reason is that Wenger likes raising little demons too much. In order to give newcomers a chance He can easily sell the old man.

Even the iron-blooded captain Vieira can be sold, let alone someone like Gilberto, so Gilberto chose the Greek League for retirement. Panathinaikos is a strong Greek team and has qualifications for the Champions League.

Calagones is a native Greek player. He had previously played for the Serie A giants Inter Milan. His time at Inter Milan was the darkest period for Inter Milan. He was known as the black hole of the star. He performed poorly in two seasons. Benfica, then back to Panathinaikos.

In the last game, Panathinaikos defeated Schalke 2 with a score of 1:04, but it was Schalke 04 who had the advantage. Panathinaikos did not play really well in that game. Both Gilberto and Calagones played mediocre.

However, after the last game, the Panathinaikos team has a more intuitive understanding of Schalke 04. Ten Carter even expects to get three points in the away game, which will undoubtedly make Panathinaikos Occupy a favorable position.

But after the opening game, he found that Schalke 04 had more advantages than the previous game. On the one hand, Schalke 04, who had the advantage of the home field, aggressively attacked forward without unnecessary nonsense. It is expected that Zhang Yuan will play center forward, and he also thought of a countermeasure, but just like the last game, knowing it does not mean that he can completely block Zhang Yuan, and it is unlikely that he himself will arrange 3 people to specifically guard Zhang Yuan.

Panathinaikos had to take the initiative to retreat and defend. In fact, they did a good job in defense in the last game, and they just defended Schalke 04 without temper.

And in this game, under the premise of facing Zhang Yuan as a forward center, the difficulty of their defense will undoubtedly rise to a level.

Because Zhang Yuan's breakthrough ability is indeed too strong, the most important thing is that he can not only break through but also pass the ball to create opportunities for other teammates. There are more points in the center than on the side, and sometimes it is difficult to judge.

In the 7th minute, Rakitic and Zhang Yuan made a clever two-for-one in the middle, passing the trailing midfielder Gilberto, Rakitic split sides, Farfan made a cross from the right, and the placement was very good , Zhang Yuan kept up with Simao's header, and the ball was barely blocked by Galinovic.

The fans in the audience exclaimed regretfully, it would be great if Zhang Yuan's header was a little more tricky!

In the 10th minute, Schalke 04 made a comeback, Ernst made a straight pass, Zhang Yuan used the acceleration to overtake Simao, and stopped the ball at the bottom. He no longer had a shooting angle. He pretended to pass Simao, but he always observed the middle of the penalty area .

Knocking back to the front of the penalty area, Rakitic plugged in and shot from a long distance. The goal post made a crisp sound and the ball bounced out!

Schalke 04 fans once again uttered regretful cries, Rakitic's shot could be more accurate!

Rakitic gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up, and Zhang Yuan also responded in the same way. Rakitic's ball was too angled, and he couldn't get outside the penalty area. He had to rely on strength or angle, otherwise it would be very difficult. Through the opponent's door.

Schalke 04 attacked Panathinaikos' gate for 30 minutes, and the goal was still zero. In this round, Schalke 04 turned the advantage into a shot, but they also continued the bad luck of the previous round. As luck would have it, not a single goal was scored.

Zhang Yuan completed 3 shots by himself, 2 of which were within the range of the goal frame, but he had no choice but to fail to score.

Ten Carter commanded his players to defend vigorously on the sidelines, while Buskens kept applauding the players on the Schalke 04 field from the sidelines.

"Nice job, lads!"

"Good job! Keep attacking hard!"

"Press it up, press it up!"

In fact, Buskens and Mulder are also extremely anxious. They can tell the players that this game is not important, but they know better than anyone else that this game must be won, otherwise Schalke 04 will face A difficult situation.

But at the moment they really can't be impatient. Once they all show a kind of impatience, the Schalke 04 players who haven't scored for a long time may also be affected, so they can only keep praising their players on the sidelines. To relieve everyone.

Of course, they are also worried that Panathinaikos will defend his state. Some teams are like this. The more passive they are, the more likely they are to stimulate their defensive potential. Defensive players will go to two extremes under strong pressure. One is A complete collapse, one is a complete play, leaving the opponent completely helpless.

But now Panathinaikos obviously has such a tendency. Their defense itself is not very strong. Think about how they can be poured 3 goals by a team like Anorthosis. Strength is also a factor.

But now they are obviously playing their own form more and more. Panathinaikos goalkeeper Galinovic is even more incredible. In the first half, he blocked at least three chances for Schalke 04 to score. , the state has been completely released.

With the whistle of the referee, the first half ended, and the TV screen at the Schalke Stadium showed the score 0:0.
这个结果让沙尔克04的球迷们失望不已，许多球迷疑惑是0:0么？大家看到的景象是沙尔克04不断的射门，都忘记了其实沙尔克04一个球都没进。

Zhang Yuan, Rakitic, and Neuer walked side by side. Zhang Yuan wiped his sweat with his hands, and said bitterly: "Today is really his evil way! Their goalkeeper seems to have taken medicine!"

"Yeah, him! He can save my shot!" Rakitic refers to Zhang Yuan taking a free kick in the front court. Rakitic was in the melee in the penalty area. He stabbed and shot at close range, but Galinovich acted as if he was on the hook. He reacted extremely quickly. He sat down on the ground and blocked the shot. It hurts a little!

"Haha, you almost kicked his balls!" Neuer laughed loudly. After Galinovic saved the ball, he covered his balls and hurt for a long time.

"I didn't mean it, who told him to work so hard!" Rakitic shrugged, but also laughed.
