I Just Can Score

Chapter 186 Why Not the National Team?

"Zhen Shaolong!"

"St. Pauli's No. 13, a young player from China, participated in the Bundesliga for the first season. This is St. Pauli's fourth game. He has scored five goals!"

"Just now, Bajramovich couldn't react in time for the ball. Zhen Shaolong made a steal in the penalty area, then turned around and volleyed, sending the ball into the bottom corner of the goal."

"Speed ​​of reaction! Efficiency! It's amazing!"

"St. Pauli overtook the score. The goal at this time period is very important. There are still 15 minutes left in the game. Whether St. Pauli can hold the advantage and what kind of performance Schalke 04 will have, let us wait and see..."

In the commentary of the TV commentator, the game on the field restarted.

St. Pauli is full of fighting spirit.

Just now, the players still wanted to keep the tie, and kept running and fighting hard, but at most they could only get a tie, which still made people feel a little discouraged.

It's different now.

Zhen Shaolong scored again and helped the team lead Schalke 04. As long as they can keep the goal, they can win Schalke 04. The temptation to win is too great, and the motivation for people has become different.

St. Pauli has become high-spirited from top to bottom.

The Schalke 04 players felt completely opposite. Each of them was very depressed. They worked hard to score one goal in the whole game, but the opponent took advantage of two opportunities and scored two goals. Excellent, the goal just now was completed due to one's own mistakes.

In this regard, Schalke 04's frontcourt has something to say.

Harrier Altintop felt very depressed. He believed that the root cause of the lag was the defense. They had kept enough pressure on St. Pauli, and the opponent only had one striker in front.

During the first goal, Krstajic and Bordon's two central defenders failed to stop the opponent's young striker and allowed the opponent to score a zero-angle shot.

The second goal was entirely Bajramovic's fault.

Goalkeeper Rost also has a big problem. Why throwing the ball into the penalty area does not mean giving the opponent a chance for nothing?

Still Roters!

At the start of the game, Khalil Altintop still remembered what Rost said. He said that he needed 90 minutes to 'clean the opponent'. Look at the current score. They have allowed the opponent to score two goals. His I don't know where the 'zero seal' is.

Khalil Altintop complained to Kuranyi with a very vicious word in a low voice, "His wife's zi palace should be used as a goal, and a group of us will shoot in it, and then we will see if he can hold it!"

Kuranyi burst out laughing.

Schalke 04's backcourt players have exactly the opposite idea. They think the defense is tight enough and they pay enough attention to the opponent's No. 13, but what can they do if the opponent plays too well?

For example, that zero-angle shot.

Who would have thought?

If Kuranyi's forwards can also shoot that kind of shot, no matter how many goals they concede, they will definitely be able to recover them easily. Before the game, the media compared the opponent's No. 13 with the team's entire striker. feel humiliated.

Now?

When they saw opportunities being missed again and again in front of the goal, they felt that what the media said was conservative, and the efficiency of the team's entire forward line could not keep up with a single player of the opponent!

Schalke 04 front and backcourt players, the mentality of complaining to each other can't affect the game.

Facing the situation of falling behind, the only thing they can do is to continue to work hard.

attack.

Keep on attacking!

The game is still more than ten minutes long, and a goal must be scored first to catch up with the score.

————

When the game was fierce on the field, Schalke 04 coach Slonka also began to reflect on "offensive efficiency". Unlike the backcourt players, he looked not only at the striker, but at the team as a whole.

Schalke 04 is a standard German team, rigor is their style of play, and each player is an important part of the tactics.

Tactical rigor is a good thing,

But it limits the player's personal performance.

In addition, Schalke 04 does not have the kind of player who can rely on personal ability to play a very exciting offense and score goals.

The opponent's No. 13 belongs to this kind of player.

This young Chinese player has average skills and body, but the two goals proved his ability. Regardless of whether his skills are poor or his body is poor, the key is to be able to hit the ball into the goal. Both goals are relied on by the opponent. Personal performance scored.

Is there any Schalke 04 player who can do it?

Slonka easily came to a negative conclusion. Schalke 04's frontcourt players are all players trained by the German youth football system. They have inherited the rigor of German football, but their creativity has also been stifled. The representative one is Kuranyi. In the tactical system, Kuranyi is very important, and he completes the last kick in front of the goal, but even the media commented, "Kuranyi with stable efficiency, wants to win It's hard to get to the Golden Boot, but he won't be short of goals..."

The latter sentence can be ignored.

Comments from the German media have a certain degree of objectivity. Kuranyi’s efficiency is indeed very stable, but it’s only stable. If Kuranyi were to play for St. Pauli, his performance would definitely be much worse. It is very possible not to score a goal every game, because he is not a player who can score goals by relying on his personal ability.

Slonka has also noticed that the media's comment on the opponent's No. 13 is, "His performance is likely to determine the results of St. Pauli, provided that he can adapt to the Bundesliga."

The latter sentence can also be ignored.

One person's performance determines the results of a team, which is not something ordinary forwards can do. But it is not certain that this young Chinese player is better than Kuranyi, because he is not a player in the tactical system.

What will happen if the opponent arrives at Schalke 04?

Slonka can make simple assumptions. At that time, he will be out of tune with the team as a whole. He will not receive the pass for a long time during the game. Even in a downwind game, he will still be a transparent person for a long time, and he will basically draw with the ball when he occasionally scores. Team has nothing to do.

If such a player wants to perform, he needs a lot of personal space to play.

St. Pauli is a good fit for him.

St. Pauli has no other outstanding strikers. He is the backbone of the striker and the hope of the entire team to score goals. All teammates will find opportunities to pass the ball.

"A player with this style, either has been in a small club, or is suitable for development in Spain, or can go to the chaotic Premier League."

"Bundesliga..."

Slonka shook his head involuntarily, and his thoughts returned to Schalke 04. He always believed that football is a team sport, and that rigorous tactics can make a team strong, but the game and the score in front of him made him There was a little wavering, "Perhaps adding a little flexibility will also make the team perform better."

The other player scored two goals!

Schalke 04 is rigorous and rigorous, and the performance of the players cannot be said to be bad, but they lack flexible offensive methods, and there are really not many ways to face the defense of the iron bucket formation.

————

Schalke 04 really doesn't have many options.

St. Pauli retreated across the board. When there were many penalty areas, there would even be five or six defensive players. If they looked for opportunities to shoot from the outside, they would be directly blocked by the meat shield. Most of the bottom line crosses could not pass.

Schalke 04 still frequently kicks from the outside, throwing the ball from the air into the penalty area, and let the forward players go to grab the point. If they grab it, they can threaten the goal, otherwise they will waste an opportunity.

This kind of single method, if you want to break the goal, you need not only luck, but also time. Simply put, if you pass more times, if you happen to find a good point, you can score one, otherwise you can only wait for time to pass slowly. .

This is the embodiment of inflexibility.

From the perspective of statistics, facing the opponent's intensive defense, it is very normal to score one or two goals in 90 minutes. The key is that St. Pauli scored two goals.

As time passed, the mentality of the Schalke 04 players became more and more anxious. At the end of the game, they didn't even make a threat. Lincoln was still 30 meters away from the wing, and he took a super long shot. Besides wasting time , it is naturally impossible to make any threats.

At the last moment of the game, Zhen Shaolong retreated.

He participated in the defense and performed quite well. Because he spent too much time in the frontcourt, his physical fitness became the best in the team. He frequently ran at the front of the penalty area and created a challenge for Schalke 04. No small trouble.

The TV commentators all praised and said, "Zhen Shaolong is not defensive if he doesn't defend, but he is still very hard to defend."

In the end St. Pauli kept the goal.

"2 to 1, congratulations to St. Pauli, relying on Zhen Shaolong's two goals, they won the fourth round of the league!"

The moment the referee blew the final whistle, the St. Pauli fans in the surrounding stands celebrated enthusiastically, and the players on the field also laughed easily.

Many players are sitting directly on the grass.

Persisting for 90 minutes was not only due to physical exhaustion, but also because the game was played too passively. Some players stayed in the backcourt all the time, constantly running and fighting, and worried that the opponent would score at any time.

Such a game is really tiring.

But in any case, it is worth being happy to win the victory, especially against the powerful Schalke 04. The head coach Bergmann couldn't hide his joy. When shaking hands with the opponent's head coach Slonka, his grinning expression was really Kind of rude.

Bergmann couldn't be happier.

In the first four rounds of the Bundesliga, St. Pauli has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, which is the same as that of its opponent Schalke 04.

This result is quite good.

Soon the results of other games came out. Some teams won and some teams lost. Summing up the results of the past four rounds, St. Pauli ranked very high, and there were only two teams with better results than them. --

Nurnberg and Hertha Berlin.

In the first four rounds of the two teams, they both scored two wins and two draws.

Dortmund, Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich have the same results as St. Pauli. They all have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. After that, Stuttgart and Werder Bremen have only won two games. In other words In other words, there have been four rounds of the league, and St. Pauli's results have entered the first echelon.

"I didn't expect that the results would be so good! The first team is only one point more than us!"

On the way to the locker room, Bergman kept talking to the assistant coach, "Four games, seven points, I didn't play in the Bundesliga last season..."

The results at the start of last season were simply a nightmare!

"Zhen's performance is still good." The assistant coach said, "He is very good. Now he has five goals. Maybe we can expect the team to have a Bundesliga Golden Boot."

Bergmann laughed excitedly.

When he arrived at the press conference, Bergman became much more serious. He felt that he should not show his happiness, otherwise the reporter would feel that he was making a big deal out of a molehill? Or is it considered to be 'a bumpkin who has never seen the world'?

After all, the Bundesliga has only lasted four rounds!

Be serious!

serious.

Bergman entered the venue with a sullen face, and then talked about the game, "Schalke has the opportunity to score more goals, but we are lucky."

"Zhen's performance is very good, with two goals, no praise can be placed too much on him."

"But I tell everyone that this is just an ordinary league game, and you can forget it when it's over. There are 34 games in the league, and now it's only a fraction."

A reporter talked about St. Pauli's good results, and Bergman continued to talk about relegation, "We are a team with the goal of relegation! The good results at the start of the game will make it easier for us to achieve our goals."

"Yes, we are fifth in the league but the season has only just started and we have a long way to go. It's a long season for any team..."

Bergman entered the meeting with a sullen face, and walked out with a sullen face, as if he didn't care about the victory.

The reporters in the venue couldn't help giving Bergmann a high look. They always thought that Bergman was just lucky to meet outstanding players, so that he could lead St. Pauli to the promotion and recently became the coach of a Bundesliga team. .

Now it seems that Bergman's bearing is not bad!

Bergmann walked out of the venue, unable to bear the joy, and kept talking to the assistant coach, "We are fifth in the league, fifth! Fifth in the Bundesliga, not the second division! Even if we keep our ranking, we can still participate in the European League!" "

"It's unbelievable, we beat Schalke and finished fifth in the round..."

————

The victory of St. Pauli made the game an upset. Zhen Shaolong, who scored two goals and led St. Pauli to victory, naturally attracted the attention of many media.

Every reporter in the venue wanted to interview Zhen Shaolong.

None of them succeeded.

On the way back, Zhen Shaolong rejected countless interview requests. When he returned to the locker room, he took a cold shower, packed his clothes, shoes and socks, and waited for the order to leave.

The other teammates also returned soon, and everyone sighed and played happily.

Halfway through, Zhen Shaolong turned on the tablet, logged into his Facebook account, and checked the progress of his followers.

A little disappointed.

The number of followers on the Facebook account is more than 8,600, and it is still more than 1,000 short of completing the task. The video shot a few days ago has a good effect at first, but the popularity is only temporary, and the past will pass.

"It's also because you are not famous, you only have more than 7,000 followers!" Zhen Shaolong depressed and put the responsibility on Freberg. ...Anyway, as long as it is a more famous star, it will definitely attract more attention."

Freberg's face turned black when he heard this, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, "I'm not famous, so I'm really sorry... You are famous, next time I will kick you!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhen Shaolong smiled and hurriedly changed the subject, "How do you say to increase attention?"

"I've always been wondering, what's the use of this?" Freberg was interested in the question. He also registered a Facebook account and only updated one message. With the help of Zhen Shaolong's posting of the video, his number of followers has also increased. five hundred.

This is the second most in the team!

Among other teammates, including Surentik and Hinkle, they only have 200 or 300 followers on Facebook. The stats are really pitiful. Some teammates are interested, but they will also interact on Facebook, such as Su Lentic, just gave Zhen Shaolong a thumbs up for every one of his messages.

Zhen Shaolong was stumped by Freberg's question, he couldn't say it was to complete the task, could he?

He could only change the subject, "I asked Alice, who is my agent, to make a video of a food show, hoping to attract more attention. Now that the Internet is constantly developing, I think that in the future, more attention is equal to fame If it is large, it may bring high income..."

"Can you make money?" Kruse left and brought his head closer.

Zhen Shaolong rolled his eyes and asked, "Think about it, how do you think we can increase attention?"

"Now?"

"right."

"This is too easy."

"...?"

Freberg said, "Didn't you think of it? I think it's very easy. You go to the reporters and say that you have opened a Facebook account and let them help promote it in the news."

Zhen Shaolong was stunned for a long time, then nodded immediately, "Of course I didn't expect... cough cough."

"Yes."

Zhen Shaolong scolded the system angrily, and immediately ran out of the locker room, because it would be too late if he didn't go.

When we got to the mixed area, there were still some reporters inside, but the number was clearly not many. The game was over, and the interview work was over, and most of the reporters were ready to leave.

When they saw Zhen Shaolong, the reporters immediately waved and shouted, "Can I accept the interview!"

"Zhen, this way! I want to conduct an interview with you!"

"Talk about today's game!"

The reporters shouted loudly, but they didn't have much hope at all. They knew that Zhen Shaolong rarely gave interviews.

Zhen Shaolong seemed to hesitate for a while, looked here for a long time, and then walked over slowly with an expression of 'I really can't do anything with you'.

The reporters were overjoyed, and immediately started the questioning mode--

"Scored five goals in four rounds, how do you feel at this moment?"

"Talk about today's game!"

"What do you think is the difference between the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga?"

Zhen Shaolong answered simply.

Putting it on other players, the reporters would definitely label it as "perfunctory", but Zhen Shaolong gave too few interviews, and he was quite satisfied with hearing a few answers.

The reporters recorded with smiles on their faces.

Among them, a Chinese reporter asked a question that surprised Zhen Shaolong, "The coach of the Chinese Olympic team, Dujkovic, has publicly expressed his interest in you. Are you looking forward to being selected for the Chinese Olympic team?"

"Olympic team? Why not the national team?" Zhen Shaolong asked in confusion.

This question is really complicated!

The Chinese reporter was not easy to answer, because it involved the results of the national team's "consecutive elimination" and the perspective of domestic attention. He didn't answer immediately, but a reply from Zhen Shaolong was enough.

"Why not the national team?" Doesn't one sentence mean that Zhen Shaolong hopes to be selected for the national team!

Zhen Shaolong suppressed his doubts in his heart, and after answering a few simple questions, he finally talked about the key content, "By the way, I have opened a Facebook account! Please help spread the word so that fans who like me can share my Facebook account." Pay attention to..."

"Thank you!"

Seeing the back of Zhen Shaolong leaving, the reporters looked at each other and couldn't help but smile wryly. One reporter said what everyone was thinking, "I just said, why did this guy accept an interview! So he wanted to promote his Facebook!"
