Beckham, the peak of the start, is handsome

Chapter 37 On the eighteenth day, I stood like a gangster at first

The day of the game is a big event for all Dortmund fans.

After all, this is a game about whether the team can enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season.

Although we have two goals in the away game, it can be said that we are sure of it, but there are still 90 minutes in the game, and everything has not been completely finalized yet.

For Xiao Wen, today is also an important day.

In addition to the first

Birthday.

He is finally eighteen years old.

Those movies that open with a serious warning from the FBI. It is no longer him who is warning. He can drink wine and drive the car. Girls, in short, come on, let all the bad trends in society come in!

Dortmund prepared a big cake for Xiao Wen early in the morning. It is estimated that all football team staff in the world have kept this in mind after the Toure incident.

After a very warm song, everyone had a few bites of cake. Then Klopp started to make arrangements for tonight.

The day was like water, and after the afternoon, Xiao Wen turned off his phone and allowed himself to completely calm down.

After the complicated but simple process was completed, the captains of both sides began to choose sides.

Xiao Wen stood next to Royce, listening to the fans at the scene chanting his voice, and then began to sing Happy Birthday.

Uncharacteristically, he raised his hands in front of the audience and applauded.

Just before he came on the field, Klopp chatted with him for a few minutes, one-on-one.

Judging from the frequency, Klopp has been chatting with him alone more and more often.

There is no way, who can let this kid give Klopp so many surprises after every game, and who can tell this kid is still so young that Klopp and other assistants always think that they still have a lot of potential.

Things need to be instilled in Xiao Wen so that he can avoid taking some detours on the court.

You know, Xiao Wen’s shocking lob in the last round of the league is still on the sports trending list on Twitter.

During this period, apart from a few superstars from the top clubs, Xiao Wen can be said to have become famous.

This also made Klopp feel good. In any case, from a certain perspective, Xiao Wen shared his exposure. Those who questioned him before had fewer opportunities for exposure and fewer people paid attention to it.

.

To be honest, Klopp knows that Xiao Wen is a talent.

This has been confirmed even more since he came on as a substitute in the first game.

But he also knows that what every rising star needs is not to go further, but to stabilize in order to play steadily.

Because every new star, for defensive players, is almost a process of unfamiliarity, familiarity, and then deliberate study of joint strangulation.

To jump over this "rookie wall", you need to perform more stably, have stronger psychological quality, and suppress your desire to fly to the sky.

So in this game, Klopp moved Xiao Wen back to the defensive midfielder position, so that if he didn't perform poorly on the wing... he would face overwhelming ridicule and doubts after the game.

Xiao Wen didn't expect that much. Since the head coach arranged it this way, let's play like this.

…

Lehmann and Matthäus did their homework this time.

Matthäus really collected a lot of data and interesting stories about Xiao Wen when he was in the major leagues.

This player can now be said to be the latest hot topic in the Bundesliga, which has lost its title suspense.

Moreover, after the last round of divine kick, it triggered even more heated discussions on a larger scale.

At the same time, his age and appearance have also become one of the hot topics of discussion.

The combination of these factors caused Xiao Wen, a neutral fan, to have an immediate surge in the number of followers he attracted.

So the TV station told Matthäus very bluntly, "You did the right thing, brag more about Xiao Wen."

Game start.

Xiao Wenan stayed by Kyle's side.

Before the game started, Kyle also chatted with Xiao Wen for a while.

Kyle told Xiao Wen to prepare well for the next game and just focus on the game.

As for those dirty tricks, don't pay too much attention to them, and don't affect your mentality.

Sometimes, Kyle doesn't like to say something directly.

But Xiao Wen could clearly detect the hidden meaning in the captain’s words——

Don't be afraid, kid, we'll cover you.

Therefore, at the beginning, Xiao Wen actually did not have any psychological baggage as the outside world said.

He feels that he only needs to do the job he should do now well.

In this game, Zenit was led by acting coach Semak, and new coach Villas-Boas took over the new team the day after the game.

Semak made 4 adjustments to the starting lineup that lost to CSKA Moscow 0-1 in an away game last weekend: Lodkin, Smolnikov, Ryazantsev and Rondong gave way to Malafeev, K.

Richto, Shatov and Kerzhakov.

After the opening, the two sides exchanged offense as expected. Dortmund has always played like this, so there is no problem. It makes sense for Zenit to give it a try. The scene was quite exciting for a while, but some fans of the rich clubs may think it is a mutual peck between novices.

.

In the 5th minute, Schmelzer made a pass from the left. Aubameyang rushed into the center of the small penalty area and jumped in front of the attacking Malafeev to head the ball slightly wide of the left post.

Two minutes later, Zenit retaliated. Wetzel fired a low shot with his left foot from 20 meters away from the center. Weidenfeller barely saved it and then grabbed the ball before Danny who followed up with a follow-up shot.

Xiao Wen missed a man at the top of the penalty area, causing Kyle to yell at him loudly. He scratched his head. This defense really needs to rely on experience to predict.

In the 12th minute, Dortmund successfully surrounded the right side of the frontcourt. Royce hit the center from the right side of the penalty area. Xiao Wen received the ball on the line of the penalty area and turned around to shoot a low shot with his left foot, which was blocked by Malafeev.

The game seemed to be in Dortmund's favor.

But the fascinating thing about football is that it does not measure final victory by ball possession rate or number of shots.

In the 16th minute, Hulk got the ball on the right side of the midfield and forced himself to break away from Kyle. Then he cut inside and knocked away Xiao Wen. He suddenly shot with his left foot 30 meters away from the goal in the middle. The ball went out and hit the upper left corner of the goal.

Corner, Weidenfeller was beyond reach, 1 to 0.

call.

Xiao Wen lay on the ground a little stunned.

When he was a child, he saw this kind of ball and this kind of player on TV. At that time, the representative of this kind of player was called Adriano.

Hulk was like a real Hulk at this moment, crushing Kyle. Xiao Wen even tried to get close and was knocked away.

Covering his chest, Xiao Wenzhi felt as if he had been hit by a heavy truck at a speed of 250 yards per hour, and it was difficult to breathe.

"Wow. This ball!" Lyman suddenly raised his voice: "The Hulk is simply unstoppable!"

"A shocking kick!"

"There is no way, Kyle's speed can't keep up, and Xiao Wen's small body is not good enough. Now Dortmund is in trouble!"

Matthäus also shook his head. There is no doubt about Hulk's personal ability. When he performs at his best, he can indeed blast away everything. After all, he is also the former Brazilian No. 9!

"Put the shovel down. Next time this happens again, just put down the shovel!"

Hummels looked at Hulk, who took the ball out of the goal and quickly rushed back to the center line, and stepped forward to give Xiao Wen instructions.

Xiao Wen nodded.

Then he clapped his hands fiercely. Xiao Wen was quite dissatisfied with his defense this time, and it didn't even have any blocking effect.

It's like the honeymoon phase always passes.

Those opponents who had been dormant in the first half of the season finally seized their opportunity.

"Oh, I told you a long time ago! Klopp will make mistakes when he plays an important game!"

"That's not it. A little brat from the big league, he brushed up some data and really thought he could save the world. Hulk fell down before he could even exert his power!"

"If nothing else, for a 17-year-old kid to play in such a crucial game, I really won over Klopp's big heart."

"You still have a big heart, you may have a myocardial infarction! Be smart and leave get out of class by yourself!"

"Take this kid from the major leagues and get out of here! Who among Shaheen, Grosskreutz, and Bender is not more experienced than him?"

Doubts arose, but the game continued.

Xiao Wen tried to mobilize Zenit's defense with long passes.

But after scoring a goal, Zenit became more active in defense. Even the winger could run thirty meters to the bottom line to cover up the defense. This kind of defensive attitude made Reus and Aubameyang struggle.

Although Xiao Wen had some stumbles at the beginning in the major leagues, overall, a peak Beckham is more than enough in the major leagues.

After arriving at Dortmund, he actually didn't encounter too many difficulties. In those reversal games, the situation was already very bad before he came on the field. He couldn't change the situation, which is understandable.

But now, he is the starter and the last barrier before the back line. What is even more frightening is that the first goal conceded was a problem between him and Kyle.

This made Xiao Wen suddenly feel great pressure.

Many people wonder why some players with similar physical fitness are more tired when running the same distance.

Xiao Wen now understood the answer to this question.

Because the psychological pressure is too heavy, running with ease in normal times now feels like a five kilogram sandbag is tied to the calf.

He knew that he couldn't be nervous at this time, but he just couldn't control the thought in the back of his mind how bad the outcome would be if he lost this game.

He really still needs to practice. If Berba hadn't been calm and composed, maybe this little pressure would have knocked him down.

All of this comes from Hulk.

The coach of Zenit is really a thief. Xiao Wen even suspected that he had seen the Chinese Art of War.

Hulk did not reach the front. He was in the defensive area where Xiao Wen was. Whether it was a high ball or a low ball, Xiao Wen was completely destroyed.

His body was completely incapable of fighting. As long as he leaned against Hulk, even Hulk didn't exert much force. Xiao Wen felt like he had hit a mountain.

"Do you want to make some adjustments?" Kravitz frowned, looked at the situation on the field, and continued to add: "Kyle can't help more. Shatov also intentionally cut in, and he needs to go alone.

Follow him."

Klopp shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the shooting ratio is 6:1, and the ball possession rate is much higher than the opponent. Don't panic, the advantage is mine."

"Hulk is so specific. I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just afraid that Xiao Wen will be psychologically affected." Kravitz said worriedly.

Xiao Wen is now a popular celebrity, but he has been praised to an extremely high level. Once he falls, he may never be able to get up again in his life. There is no precedent for this.

Klopp nodded, but still didn't say anything.

Xiao Wen was still struggling because defending Hulk consumed too much of his physical strength and energy.

call..

call.

It was another long ball from Zenit. Hulk leaned on Xiao Wen and removed the ball directly with his chest, then turned around and wiped it forward, entering the penalty area.

Xiao Wen immediately hugged Hulk and threw him, but he didn't completely knock Hulk down. In the end, he tripped with his right foot, causing the humanoid heavy tank to fall to the top of the arc in the penalty area with a thud.

The Spanish referee Ondiano Malenko rushed over and gave Xiao Wen a yellow card.

Dortmund fans who were still chanting Xiao Wen's name at the beginning of the game could not bear the gap for a while. Some fans who bought their jerseys and had Xiao Wen's number printed on them sat back in their chairs with a lonely look.

Only the fans in the South Stand were still roaring crazily.

"Captain, I am one of the people in the wall." Xiao asked Kyle who was walking over.

Kyle squeezed Xiao Wen's shoulder and didn't blame him, just nodded.

Xiao Wen still respected these people who were kind to him, so naturally he felt more guilty.

But now is not the time to talk about this!

There is another chapter to come.
