I Just Can Score

Before the UEFA Cup knockout round, St. Pauli still has a league game to play, which is the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In the second round of the league in August, St. Pauli lost to Borussia Mönchengladbach at home, but it must not explain how strong Borussia Mönchengladbach is.

On the contrary, it is very weak!

It's not that they are weak, but that their results are too poor. So far, Borussia Mönchengladbach ranks last in the league. In the last round, Hamburg's points surpassed them.

When a team's performance is very poor, it is easy to have problems within the team.

The head coach will definitely take the blame.

The coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach is Josef Heynckes, a well-known German football player.

When Heynckes decided to take over Borussia, it was unanimously approved by all Borussia fans, because Heynckes was born in Borussia Mönchengladbach. He is a legendary scorer of the team and has led the team to win the Bundesliga championship four times. , The era when Heynckes played was the most glorious era for Borussia.

Fans believe that Borussia Mönchengladbach should be led by Heynckes to revive, but Heynckes failed to lead the team to achieve revival, and instead ranked last in the league for a long time.

In October last year, Borussia Borussia announced that Heynckes would leave his post and the former assistant coach would take over as the coach, striving to lead the team to relegation.

After Heynckes left, Borussia's performance did not improve.

Up to now, many people believe that Borussia has become a team that is "definitely" relegated.

Facing such an opponent, even if it is an away game, even if they lose to the opponent at home in the first round, St. Pauli is very confident, but St. Pauli also has a big problem, because the team must preserve its strength and prepare to face the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Cup. In Yernold's game, it is impossible to spend all his energy on the league.

So St. Pauli only sent half the main lineup.

The reason why it is called "half main force" is only because Zhen Shaolong did not play, Bergman decided to let Zhen Shaolong rest for a round, and patiently prepare for the UEFA Cup.

Zhen Shaolong's absence has had a great impact on the team.

Seeing that there is no opponent's leading shooter in St. Pauli's starting lineup, Borussia's players have sufficient confidence, but obviously they overestimated their own state and strength. St. Pauli is worse than many teams, which does not necessarily include Goal. prosper.

After the ninety-minute game,

It also proves that St. Pauli is not weaker than Borussia.

The score on the scoreboard is "0:1".

Before the host and after the guest.

St. Pauli won by one goal and won Borussia Mönchengladbach.

This three-pointer is still very wonderful, one is the away game factor, and the other is that Zhen Shaolong did not play.

After the game, Bergman was full of joy. He praised the team's defensive performance. At the same time, he was full of praise for Bol who scored a goal. "Fabian is a very good player. There is no doubt about its importance..."

Then the reporter asked about gossip.

For example, during the winter break, some media reported that Fabian Bol appeared in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and lived for a long time, during which he seemed to frequently enter the red-light district of Amsterdam.

and also.

Before Christmas, Bol's "breakup incident" was considered a tragic figure for professional players, and it also aroused great interest from the media. '

Bergman immediately sank his face and didn't want to continue to say anything.

He decided to continue to strengthen education for Bol.

The day after the match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the St. Pauli team flew to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to prepare for the UEFA Cup round of 32 and the first round against Feyenoord.

check in to a hotel.

rest.

A light warm up the next morning.

St. Pauli is very well prepared for the game, and their attitude towards the game is also very serious.

The players are also looking forward to the game.

The UEFA Cup is a European-level event, but in terms of influence, it is still far behind the European Champions Cup. Almost all of the events a year ago can be counted as 'qualifiers'. Except for the participating teams, few There are other fans who will pay attention.

It's different now.

When the event entered the knockout stage, more attention was paid to it. The number of journalists who came to interview can explain many things. The German journalists who followed St. Pauli to the Netherlands can form a team of 30 to 40 people. There are countless local journalists.

On the day of the match, journalists could be seen everywhere at the Feyenoord Stadium. There were also many journalists from other countries, and they all came to cover the match.

This is already an international stage.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

St. Pauli's bus drove into the Feyenoord Stadium. The players first went to the locker room to change clothes, and then, under the leadership of the assistant coach, entered the stadium for warm-up.

When the players of the two teams entered the stadium, the surrounding stands were still empty, because the fans were just getting ready to enter, but there were still dozens of heads on the west side.

When the camera is zoomed in, it can be found that it is a group of special audiences--

Chinese national team!

In February, taking advantage of the fact that the domestic league did not start, the Chinese national team conducted a wave of overseas training to prepare for this year's Asian Cup.

Rotterdam in the Netherlands is one of those destinations.

The Chinese national team will conduct a five-day training in Rotterdam, and on the last day they will have a warm-up exchange match with Feyenoord.

Now is the second day.

On this day, the Chinese national team completed the training tasks normally, and got news from the Feyenoord club. Their officials invited the Chinese national team to watch the UEFA Cup match of Feyenoord.

Zhu Guanghu, the coach of the Chinese national team, thought that the team should relax a little bit in the tense training atmosphere, so he decided to let the whole team watch the game, feel the atmosphere of Dutch football, and do some learning by the way.

In European competitions, the UEFA Cup also has a certain influence. The level of participating teams is better than that of the national team. Watching high-level competitions can help improve players' vision and inspire their spirit of hard work .

Then.

Zhu Guanghu discovered an interesting problem.

Feyenoord's opponent is St. Pauli from Germany, and St. Pauli has a Chinese player.

Zhen Shaolong.

Of course Zhu Guanghu knew about Zhen Shaolong, the domestic media and fans had almost praised Zhen Shaolong to the sky.

With Zhen Shaolong's performance getting better and better, fans have put him and Dong Fangshuo together, and called him "the two golden boys of Chinese football". Since then, he has obtained a British labor certificate and was recalled by Manchester United, and also played once in the Manchester United league.

Zhen Shaolong...

That is really excellent!

The top scorer in the Bundesliga, scoring goals can be described as 'countless'. Halfway through the league, he 'locked' the top scorer in advance, and has a good chance of winning the 'European Golden Boot'. He is definitely a world-class star.

Some fans said, "Zhen Shaolong is much better than Dong Fangzhuo!"

Dong Fangzhuo also has a large group of supporters. They think that Dong Fangzhuo's performance can be expected. He plays for Manchester United, let alone how many goals he scores.

There is a lot of debate on the Internet about this.

As the coach of the Chinese national team, Zhu Guanghu just smiled indifferently. Whether it is Dong Fangzhuo or Zhen Shaolong, he is not very optimistic. It is not that he is not optimistic about their strength, but that he does not think they will enter the national team. , how well it can perform.

Dong Fangzhuo has entered the national team, but his performance is still very average.

It's not that Dong Fangzhuo's ability is not good, on the contrary...it's too strong!

When a player's ability is too much higher than that of his teammates, it may directly affect his performance. The reason is naturally the word "cooperation".

Zhu Guanghu doesn't like to recruit 'Sea Turtle' players. The reason is that the 'Sea Turtle' players have little time to enter the national team. Naturally, there is no tacit understanding when cooperating with other teammates, but there is also a big gap in their awareness.

A simple example --

Most of the players in the national team are from the domestic league. Their game awareness is average, and they are used to the cooperation of "waiting for the ball".

If it was a Sea Turtle player with better awareness, it would be different.

The Sea Turtle players will pass the ball in advance. They will pass the ball to the front of their teammates running, and the same is true for receiving the ball. They will continue to intersperse running positions instead of waiting for the ball in place, but their teammates do not have the same awareness. As a result, they are in the frontcourt and it is difficult to receive passes from teammates.

This is where the problem lies.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to improve the ability level of the national team players as a whole.

But is it possible?

Unless all Turtle players are recruited, what is the point of the development of the domestic league?

in addition……

Zhu Guanghu does not have the so-called "head coach power". The list of national team recruits cannot be decided by him alone, and it is meaningless to think too much.

Zhu Guanghu just felt that it was very interesting to watch a Chinese player play during the training period in the Netherlands. He said seriously to the players, "Zhen Shaolong, do you know? Let's see how he plays!"

"Maybe there is something in him that is worth learning and learning from!"

The international players had different thoughts after hearing this.

Players in other positions are better, but the forward players are a little unconvinced.

The so-called 'peers are enemies'.

Klose and Zhen Shaolong can get along peacefully because they don't have any competitive relationship. On the same team and players at the same position, when there is no difference in level, the competitive relationship will be more serious.

Li Mingwei is the main striker of the Chinese national team, so he is very unconvinced.

He knew Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong is so famous that "become famous at a young age" is not enough to describe it. Domestic fans regard him as "the hope of Chinese football".

Li Mingwei usually just looked at and smiled, but now his mood is different.

"What's so great, isn't it just scoring more goals in Germany." Li Mingwei thought, "It's just that if you are lucky, you may not be able to perform well when you come to the national team."

"Just like the Shao family..."

field.

Zhen Shaolong never imagined that there would be all the members of the Chinese national team in the stands.

That's kind of hard to imagine.

Zhen Shaolong glanced over there, but he couldn't see clearly from too far away. He normally warmed up with his teammates before the game.

Warming up before a game is very important.

The significance of the warm-up is to allow the players to be more active, so that they can quickly adapt to the game.

St. Pauli's warm-up method is similar to that of other teams. Half of the time, players are paired up for normal passing training.

Waiting for the fans from the surrounding stands to enter the field, Zhen Shaolong immediately gave other meanings to the warm-up--

Show your feet!

This is an away game. It is very important to attract away fans. Let the away fans feel that they are very good. Maybe when they blow kisses, they can get more responses.

Zhen Shaolong did the same, and his partner was Kruse.

"Do you want me to pass the ball to you?"

Cruzer asked.

In the warm-up before the game, Zhen Shaolong liked the feeling of "warming up his feet", kicking the goal post continuously to skillfully shoot.

Zhen Shaolong thought for a while and said, "Another way. You stand at that point." He pointed to a position on the right side of the penalty area, while he stood on the left side, "I kicked the ball onto the crossbar, and let the ball Bounce to your place."

"..."

Cruze was dumbfounded.

That's okay too?

Zhen Shaolong is not sure either. Compared with kicking the goal post, to make the ball bounce to a fixed position, you need to know the point of the kick, and you have to experiment many times in a row.

once.

twice.

many times...

Zhen Shaolong probably tried seven or eight times before the football bounced successfully to Kruse's feet.

"This foot is awesome!"

Kruse shouted and gave a big thumbs up in praise.

Zhen Shaolong just nodded with a smile.

During the 'experiment', it was enough to amaze the fans who noticed, because Zhen Shaolong hit the crossbar with seven or eight consecutive kicks.

"I just said, why does he keep kicking the crossbar? It turns out it's on purpose!"

"What's the name of this player?"

"You don't know? You definitely don't care about St. Pauli. That player is Zhen Shaolong, the top scorer in the Bundesliga, scoring almost thirty goals!"

"so smart?"

"Look at his footwork..."

West stand.

A group of people from the Chinese national team were all dumbfounded, including the head coach Zhu Guanghu and the forward Li Mingwei. Everyone watched quietly, but the defender Gao Song exclaimed, "Did he kick the goal post on purpose? A few kicks All in? That position is more than ten meters away?"

No one answered.

Zhu Guanghu couldn't help but sighed, looked at the players who 'kicked the goal post' on the field, and then turned his head to glance at the international players, feeling that leading the team has become boring, "If the national team is full of players like this, I dare to guarantee it to the Football Association Challenge Brazil!"

"pity……"

Then they discovered that the shock had only just begun.

After Zhen Shaolong found the spot on the crossbar, he kept kicking towards that spot for more than a dozen times in a row, and most of the footballs bounced to Kruse's feet.

He immediately became the protagonist of the audience.

Almost all the cameras in the field pointed in the past. The Dutch fans in the surrounding stands did not pay attention to Feyenoord. The media reporters in the field, especially those near the bottom line, kept raising various equipment to take pictures.

the other side.

Feyenoord players all looked over.

Andre Bahia said to Romeo Castellon with a complex expression, "The coach is right, we should mark him carefully."

Castron pursed his lips and shrugged, "That's your job."

Nicky Hoffs patted Bahia on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's up to you."

Bahia suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
