Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 211 The Birth of the Ball Master

The coaches and players of Schalke 04 breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the final whistle, especially the players who fought continuously on the field, they were really tired!

Some people say that the most important thing for the team before the season is the physical reserve. Why is it like this? In fact, no matter how good the physical reserve is before the season, at this time, the double-match test for a week is all high-intensity games, and physical fitness cannot keep up. It's normal to play, and Buskens also used rotations, but he never rotated in a few key positions.

Zhang Yuan was terribly tired after the end of the field, while Neuer was relatively relaxed. As a goalkeeper, he didn't face much of a test today. What he needs to do is to concentrate on the whole game.

The field is changing rapidly. If he is not focused as a goalkeeper, he may become the background board of the opposing player at any time.

"I'm almost exhausted!" Zhang Yuan saw Neuer's first sentence.

Neuer and Zhang Yuan clapped their hands together, and then gave Zhang Yuan a sign that you are very low.

Zhang Yuan smiled and didn't bother to respond to him. Digan and Rakitic were still waiting for him on the sidelines, and they hugged each other to celebrate.

"You did a great job today!" Deegan praised.

"I'm so exhausted now!" Zhang Yuan whispered.

Digan held his head, and the two walked towards the locker room.

"Well, Zhang Yuan, hurry up and take a shower, you're going to attend a press conference with Michelle later!" Mulder ran into the locker room and said to Zhang Yuan.

Damn it, there was also a press conference, Zhang Yuan quickly took a shower and changed clothes.

Not only Zhang Yuan but also Captain Bolton attended the post-match press conference with Buskens today.

Zhang Yuan and Bolton are not on the right track. The first thing is that Slomka's dismissal caused conflicts between the two. The second thing is that the group fun that happened during the training camp this season made the relationship between the two worse.

The two followed Buskens and no one spoke to them. They really didn't look like teammates. Of course Buskens was aware of the conflict between the two of them, but he didn't bother to care about such things. Do your best on the pitch.

Buskens really wanted to take Bolton down. The first reason was that Bolton was the captain and had played for Schalke 04 for a long time, so he had faint signs of a ball dominance in his heart.

This is a very natural and normal occurrence. In Schalke 04, he was the core of the defense and the main force of the team. After becoming the captain, his self-confidence was overwhelming. Slomka's dismissal also had something to do with Bolton. At that time, he was mainly dissatisfied with being out of the Champions League. He was also influenced by the fans. He believed that keeping Slomka in his position was completely to bring Schalke 04 into the ditch. The rhythm of the game, a little negative in the later games, led to the disastrous defeat to Werder Bremen, and his rating was quite low in that game.

Immediately after this season, Ruteng came to power. He was suspended because of the interests of the team, but a Digan appeared. This person is Brazilian, but he has another important identity. He is Zhang Yuan's best friend. And he heard from the gossip that Zhang Yuan recommended him to come to Schalke 04.

He suspended Digan to take the position, but the player played very well, and Rutten was also very satisfied. In fact, Rutten also wanted to push Digan to the position and adopted a rotation.

This is unacceptable to Bolton. He feels that his position as the core of the defense is no longer guaranteed. Neuer is on the rise, and his main position is about to be lost. Degan is on the rise.

He believes that he is capable of being the core of the defense, he is not old, and he does not need to rotate or substitute, so the behavior of ball dominance came into being.

On the court, he began to be passive again. This kind of passivity does not necessarily have to be manifested in passive defense.

As the team captain, the most important role on the field is to be a spiritual leader, and he needs to show fighting spirit all the time.

But he didn't in the later games. Schalke 04 drew a lot, but conceded not many goals. Bolton participated in the game with very low ratings. "Bild" was blunt in his comments after a draw. Wrote: "Perhaps Schalke 04 should change their captain!"

The main point of accusation is that he did not play a role on the field. Rutten dismissed get out of class and Buskens and Mulder were acting coaches. Naturally, they knew the situation and wanted to win Bolton.

Buskens spoke harshly on the first day, pointing to players like Bolton.

In fact, Buskens may have been a ball bully at the beginning, but when he became the head coach, he absolutely did not want his team to still have a ball bully. This hindered the positive development of Schalke 04.

Having said that, no one wants to admit that they are old, and no one wants to be replaced. Everyone is similar, and Zhang Yuan is no exception. He doesn't want to end either.

It's just that sometimes the starting point of the ball bully is not for the team, but for his own interests.

If Slomka dismissed get out of class and Bolton was negative for the team, then his negativity this season is entirely for his own benefit, thinking that changing the head coach can ensure his status.

I thought that Buskens would still trust him like he did at the end of last season, but he was really wrong this time. Buskens is now thinking of ways to take him down all the time, and what he cares about is only a week during this period. Double matches, and Kristajic's injury.

Three people from Schalke 04 arrived at the scene, but Ten Cate of Panathinaikos has not yet brought his disciples.

Generally speaking, both parties will attend the post-match press conference. Of course, some people refuse to attend. Well, then he will automatically accept the fine from the club.

The first party can start first, and it doesn’t matter if you are late, as long as it is not too late. Being late is also disrespectful to reporters. Be careful with the pen of the uncrowned king.

So as soon as Schalke 04 arrived, the press officer announced the start of the press conference.

"Mr. Buskens, what do you think of today's game?"

"I am very satisfied with the process and the result of the game. The boys worked hard on the field and the opponent's defense was very good, but we still found some opportunities. The final victory is well deserved!"

"There was only one goal in the game, don't you think there is a problem with Schalke 04's striker?"

This is the rhythm of pricking!

"I don't think there is any problem with our striker. Zhang Yuan scored a goal today, and it was Altintop who assisted him! It's just that they were a little unlucky today. The opponent's goalkeeper Galinovich performed amazingly today. !” Buskens said with a straight face.

"Zhang, what do you think of your performance today?"

"I am very satisfied with my performance and I am very happy to contribute to the team's victory!"

"It seems like you missed two chances to score today?"

"I don't think there's anything to it? The important thing is that we won the final victory, isn't it?!" Zhang Yuan smiled, but he was already quite annoyed in his heart.

As a winger, the conversion rate between shots and goals is not high. It is not a crime, but now as the team's Zhengyin center, he still plays like a winger. This is where the media wants to criticize. Recently, some media have stood up and said such things, Of course, the influence of these media is limited.

Bolton was at the side feeling relieved, boy, you have today too!
"Marcelo, what do you think of today's game?"

"Today's game was very difficult, we got some chances, and we also squandered some chances. Fortunately, we also seized the opportunities and won the opponent. It is very important for us to get three points! I am very happy that we won the final Victory!" Bolton expressed his opinion slowly, and finally pouted his mouth.

Bolton's words made the reporters unable to think that he was blaming his teammates on the front line, but Zhang Yuan could hear it, well, this is old enough, I am the one who wasted the opportunity!
But soon the reporter avenged Zhang Yuan!

"Marcelo, some time ago, some media thought that you are not worthy of being the captain of Schalke 04. What do you think?"

Bolton is angry, what the heck, why am I not worthy!
"I will not respond to such idiotic remarks!" Bolton was really angry and scolded on the spot.

Zhang Yuan gave the reporter a thumbs up in his heart, and he also took a look at the identity of the reporter, well, a certain tabloid in Dortmund, no wonder!
Because of Bolton's fury, as a result, many media threw the question to Bolton and Buskens as if smelling blood.

"Mr. Buskens, do you think Schalke 04 should have a new captain?"

"Marcelo, you fell into a downturn a while ago, is it because the team wants to cancel your captain?"

……

Bolton and Buskens are in a state of desperation. This is the tragedy of appearing alone. Sometimes one is not good, and all the firepower is concentrated on your team. For Schalke 04, the post-match press conference today was just a formality. Who knows It turned into this scene.

Fortunately, Ten Carter of Panathinaikos finally brought his players to the press conference to make a relief, and Buskens hurriedly left the press conference with his two disciples. This matter must not end.
