Perhaps most Chinese football fans only got to know Wolfsburg after Zhang Xizhe landed in the Bundesliga.

This football club is located in the northwest of Germany.

It was founded in 1945, which may be relatively late compared to teams with a long history.

But since the 1997 season, Wolfsburg has remained in the Bundesliga and has never been relegated.

After Volkswagen acquired 90% of Wolfsburg's shares in 2001, Wolfsburg's seat in the Bundesliga has maintained an upward trend.

In the 2008-09 season, it emerged as a dark horse and won the Bundesliga championship.

After a short period of glory, Wolfsburg declined rapidly and almost fell into the relegation zone in the second season. In the following seasons, Wolfsburg's results have been unstable. Sometimes they can compete for the championship, and sometimes they fight for relegation.

So at the beginning of this season, Wolfsburg's top management learned from their mistakes and began to make drastic changes to Wolfsburg.....

August 25th

The Volkswagen Arena, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people, is already full of fans.

Fans far away in China are also watching this game around the TV.

At this time.

The official commentator of the Bundesliga introduced the lineups of both teams before the game.

Wolfsburg was not scared by Schalke 04's performance last season. They set up a 433 formation and prepared to have a fierce battle with Schalke 04.

New aids Weghorst and Rousillon also started.

Perhaps because of Tedesco's more pragmatic style, Schalke 04 used a 3421 formation.

The goalkeeper is Schalke's old Jiang Ralf Fehrman.

The back line is composed of Nastaschi, Naldo, and Sharif Sane. The midfield line is extremely thick, with Baba, Zelda, McKennie, and Caliguri forming the defensive midfield.

Amin Ali and Mark Uth form the offensive core.

The last single arrow is Lin Chen!

When the commentator read Lin Chen's name, he was a little surprised.

"Tedesco actually chose to put Bugstadler on the bench and chose Lin Chen as the team's starting center?!"

Perhaps because he was worried that the fans didn't know who Lin Chen was, the commentator also made a special explanation.

"Lin Chen transferred from Castilla, the second team of Real Madrid, to Schalke 04 in the summer transfer window this year."

"Before this, Lin Chen scored more than 30 goals in eight games in the Spanish Second Division B!"

"Unfortunately, in Schalke 04's pre-season warm-up match, the young Chinese player did not have much chance to play."

The commentator shook his head with some regret, obviously thinking that Tedesco's choice was not wise.

I don't know if the commentator thought so, and Schalke 04 fans also couldn't understand Tedesco's approach.

"Are you kidding me? I have never heard of this person named Lin Chen!"

"Looks like a youth player, too young"

"Can he handle the Bundesliga-level defensive pressure? Is Tedesco taking too many risks?"...

On German social media, Wolfsburg fans were somewhat surprised by Lin Chen's appearance.

Since Lin Chen was on loan to the team, almost no Wolfsburg fans knew that there was a player like Lin Chen in the team.

Even in the subsequent warm-up matches.

Although Lin Chen had appeared, he did not leave a deep impression.......

In the player tunnel,

Lin Chen was also a little surprised about the starting lineup for this game.

When the roster was announced yesterday, Lin Chen was actually included in the starting lineup, and veteran Bugstähler could only be his substitute.

Looking at the stadium in front of him,

Lin Chen was a little excited.

He finally stepped onto the stadium of the top five leagues.

At this time, the system suddenly issued a task

‘System Task: First Bundesliga Victory! '

Lin Chen couldn't help but feel proud and determined to win this game!......

As the players of both sides stood still.

The game officially began, with Schalke 04 taking the lead.

After the game started, Schalke 04 was not in a hurry to attack, but slowly turned the ball to seek opportunities.

But Wolfsburg did not give Schalke the opportunity to play"old-fashioned ball", and all players pressed forward and began to press.

The fifth minute of the game.

After a steal error by Wolfsburg midfielder Arnold, McKennie saw a large space behind him.

Then McKennie made a straight pass and found Markwut who was advancing.

Roussillon rushed forward to block, and Markwut had to rush along the sideline.

The ball came to the corner flag area in an instant.

When Markwut looked up to observe his teammates, Lin Chen was already standing in the penalty area and waved to him.

Markwut then sent a low cross.

Lin Chen then accelerated to shake off the defense of the opponent's defender and received the ball at the edge of the small penalty area.

Without stopping the ball, he shot the ball past Wolfsburg goalkeeper Castells.

Is this a goal?

The Wolfsburg players were somewhat unbelievable, and the fans at the scene were also stunned

"Schalke 04 seized the opportunity and scored a goal less than five minutes into the game.

"This attack was not threatening at first, but Lin Chen's shot was of extremely high quality!"

On the sidelines, head coach Tedesco raised his arms to celebrate Lin Chen's goal.

And Tedesco didn't expect that Lin Chen could change the score so easily.
