Young Football Player

FIFA's annual awards are over, and naturally, as in previous years, there will be controversy.

Ronaldo won the award in the end, and Ribery's vote rate was not even as good as Messi's, only ranking third. These are topics that can be hyped up.

The German media are all aggrieved by Ribery, and at the same time they are also blessing Li Chenglong, because Li Chenglong is the only player in this year's best team who is not playing for a giant.

In fact, since the award of the best team of the year was established in 2005, it has been dominated by wealthy players basically every year.

Falcao, who played for Atletico Madrid last year, was the only player who was selected for the best team of the year from a non-rich club.

Now Jackie Lee is the second.

After attending the awards ceremony, Jackie Lee returned to Gelsenkirchen to prepare for the second half of the season.

But just the second day after Li Chenglong returned to Germany, someone came to visit him.

Last summer, Schalke was hyping news about the introduction of Chinese players.

However, after being fired for a long time, Chinese journalists rushed to the Ruhr area one after another, but the matter of signings could not be settled for a long time.

It is said that Schalke had taken a fancy to Wu Sanshi of a certain team in Shanghai at the time, but they would not let him go.

Not only did they not let him go, they also said that Barcelona is Wu Sanshi's goal.

I don't know if they are making excuses, or do they really look down on a small team like Schalke?

Or they have to wait and find a chance to send the martial arts king to Barcelona to play in the future.

Wu Sanshi was not sure what to do, so Schalke, on the recommendation of other agents, fell in love with Zhang Xizhe of a certain team in Beijing.

Zhang Xizhe can be regarded as a well-known talent in the Super League at present, and he was also the best rookie in the Super League in 2012.

The most important thing is that after communication, the Beijing team is willing to let people go.

So when the winter break came, Schalke announced to the outside world that the team had introduced Chinese player Zhang Xizhe.

Today, Zhang Xizhe and his agent came to visit the dock together.

How to put it, Lee Jackie is also the current star of Schalke, and there is also a Chinese identity.

"Brother Li, I'm here today, mainly to ask you to help me get in touch. I plan to find a chance to invite the whole team to have a meal together and get to know the new teammates."

Zhang Xizhe is a very upright guy, as soon as he came up, Li Ge Li Li yelled, you know, he is two years older than Li Chenglong.

"Okay, let me help you get in touch."

After all, the other party came to visit with a gift, and Li Chenglong readily agreed.

Zhang Xizhe joined Schalke 04, which has attracted a lot of attention in China.

Just like every time there are Chinese players studying abroad, most Chinese fans are imagining that their players will immediately kill the Quartet and become famous when they go to Europe.

Moreover, Zhang Xizhe is currently a well-known talented player in China, which has led many people to have very high expectations for him.

As the Chinese star Shao Jiayi who once played in the Bundesliga, he commented in front of the reporter: "Zhang Xizhe is fully capable of gaining a foothold in the Bundesliga. His technique and speed are stronger than Draxler, only in physical confrontation. A little bit worse.

"

According to Shao Jiayi's meaning, Zhang Xizhe is going to come to Schalke 04 to replace Draxler and form a frontcourt trident with Li Chenglong and Huntelaar.

And it just so happened that Draxler was injured again at this time, and it seemed that Zhang Xizhe was deliberately given a chance.

Draxler was injured in the last game before the winter break. It was not a big problem at first, but during the winter break, this guy went out to play wildly on vacation, and accidentally made the injury worse. Know when to hurt.

According to estimates, if Draxler can return before the Champions League knockout rounds, it would be considered very good.

At present, many Chinese fans are waiting to see that Zhang Xizhe can become popular as soon as he landed in the Bundesliga like Shinji Kagawa back then.

For these hypes, Li Chenglong can only pretend not to know.

Can he still tell everyone that this guy is a sales midfielder, the kind who can't play in the Bundesliga at all.

Moreover, the Schalke club probably doesn't care too much about whether Zhang Xizhe can play in the Bundesliga. They value more attention. It doesn't matter if they can play the best or not.

With the help of Li Chenglong, the boss of the team, the entire Schalke team came to Zhang Xizhe's dinner as long as they were free.

At the dinner, Zhang Xizhe also gave each teammate a small gift, Chinese tea.

This guy can't play football, but Li Duo doesn't blame this glorious tradition for playing well.

During the winter break, Schalke played warm-up matches with Bochum and Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga Bundesliga respectively.

Fringe players such as Obasi and Papadopoulos, young talents such as Sane, and new aids such as Zhang Xizhe have all gained a lot of opportunities to perform.

It's a pity that Zhang Xizhe's performance was not good, which disappointed a large number of Chinese reporters who came to watch the Schalke warm-up match.

How can you play football if you fall down as soon as you touch it in physical confrontation?

Also, you can't keep up with the pace at all when handling the ball. As soon as the ball hits his feet, it slows down, slowing down the offensive rhythm of the whole team. How can the coach trust you?

Maybe Zhang Xizhe did show a certain level of skill in the Super League, but if he can't show it in the fast-paced and high-confrontation environment of the Bundesliga, what's the use?

Those who play freestyle football, in the case of slow pace and no confrontation, their foot skills are more expensive than Neymar Messi, but they are not the same as they cannot play professional football.

Anyway, after several team training matches and two warm-up matches, the entire Schalke team should have a certain understanding of the strength of this new Chinese aid.

Zhang Xizhe himself should know where he is in the team.

On January 25, 2014, the 18th round of the Bundesliga, which is the first round of the second half of the season's Bundesliga schedule.

The Schalke team came to Hamburg in northern Germany and will challenge the Hamburg team here.

Hamburg won the seventh place in the Bundesliga last season, but this season they immediately turned into a relegation team and are currently struggling on the road to relegation.

At the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Schalke played comfortably despite Draxler's absence.

Kevin Boateng replaced Draxler as a midfielder, and Lee Chenglong and Huntelaar paired up as strikers.

In the first half, Jackie Chan and Kevin Boateng each sent an assist, Huntelaar, Gretzka and Kanter scored respectively, and Schalke took a 3:0 lead.

On the contrary, Li Chenglong was in a mediocre state and failed to find a scoring opportunity.

After playing for a while in the second half, the score still didn't change, so Stevens started to make substitutions, letting other players play to show off.

And Zhang Xizhe was also replaced in the 85th minute and won the chance to make his Bundesliga debut.

Stevens should have received instructions from the upper echelons of the club to let Zhang Xizhe show his face in some irrelevant games.

This time, the commentary on the Chinese side reached a climax, and all kinds of cheers erupted. This is a moment to witness history.

In the end, Zhang Xizhe did not perform at all on the field. Schalke easily won Hamburg 3:0 in the away game and won a good start in 2014.
