Chapter 33 Good Luck Kid
After living in Germany for such a long time, Jack Tang has developed a certain habit every day. His life is very regular. He gets up early in the morning to practice martial arts moves. At about the same time, he goes to the club to participate in daily training and practice alone for two hours in the evening.
This is the life of a day.
This kind of life seems to be very irritable and very hard, but Don Jack enjoys it very much.
"Brother, eat more." When eating, Li Xue always likes to say this. She is very concerned about Jack Tang's health.
"Ha ha."
At this time, Jack Don feels that he is the happiest. What else is there to be dissatisfied with such a cute and beautiful sister who cares about herself?
This is also the driving force of life. Jack Don can always make a hundred points of effort in football training.
At night, Jack Tang will take the initiative to sleep on the sofa. Although Li Xue is very dissatisfied, Jack Tang insists on doing so. After all, he practices Shaolin boy skills. In addition, he still can't let go of his feelings for men and women.
This doesn't seem to be the way.
Jack Tang is thinking about when he can sign a big contract. After making money, he must buy a big house. Both he and Li Xue can have their own bedroom.
“...... There is one more room left!" Don Jack gritted his teeth and said that he was tired of living a miserable life.
............
Since the last round of the league draw with Freiburg, Schalke 04 Club has been spreading a low mood. The team has lost three games, allowing Schalke 04 to lose one place in the seventh place in the league.
Such achievements are unacceptable to the club.
It is also difficult for players to accept. Although everyone pretends to be indifferent on the surface, everyone works very hard when training. I think they want to work hard to change the current situation of the team. For a team, results are everything. With results, the team will be very happy up and down. On the contrary, everyone will be much lower.
The next round of Schalke 04 was held a week later, that is, on March 13. Their opponent is Frankfurt, known as the "hero" in the Bundesliga.
Frankfurt is located in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse. This club is the largest and most successful football club in the surrounding area. Founded in 1899, it is a founding member of the Bundesliga. In 1959, Frankfurt won the league championship before the establishment of the Bundesliga, and has been playing in the top league since then. It was not until 1996 that it was first relegated to the second division. Since then, the team has been floating between the first and second division.
That is to say, the current strength of Frankfurt is not strong.
But there is a reason to say that 'the nemesis of the rich' is. Frankfurt is now ranked second to last in the league. This kind of result is really not good. However, in the winning games this season, they even won Bayern Munich and Stuttgart, and the match between Werder Bremen and Frankfurt, which are at the top of the table, is just It's just a draw,
Such a team is really unpredictable.
When Frankfurt plays well, it can even make the rich team disarm and surrender. When it doesn't play well, it will easily lose to a relegated team. Such an opponent is really a headache.
Heinx is also a headache, but he knows that for the next league, the team must win the next game.
One afternoon before the game, the intensity of daily training was much lower. Heinx asked the players to do positioning ball tactical drills and corner kick tactical drills. This kind of training is the most helpful for the game.
At the same time, this is also the training that Don Jack is most looking forward to, because he is the role of the team's fatal blow. Even if the positioning ball and corner kick tactics are different, Jack Don will always be a very important role. As a center, Jack Tang is also very happy to be so valued by the coach in tactical training.
After experimenting with several tactics, this time, Heinx asked Don Jack to play the role of tamping. His task is to attract the attention of the opposing players.
At this point, Jack Don is much worse, because as a tamp; as a tamp; he must try to attract the attention of the opposing players, so in terms of running, it is very necessary to attract the attention of the opponent, and sometimes he must be a passer.
This is not what he is good at.
After several unsuccessful trainings, Heinx gave up this tactic and let Don Jack return to the main attack position and continue to test the tactic. In the first test of tactics, Don Jack squeezed the defender, turned back and volleyed, kicking the ball into the goal, and performed very well.
In the second test of tactics, Jack Don wanted to head the goal, but unfortunately his header ability was not very strong, and the football missed the goal and flew out of bounds.
After this period of observation, Heinx is a little disappointed with Don Jack's ability. Originally, a player with excellent physical quality like Don Jack, Heinx wants to cultivate him into a hegemon in the penalty area, just like the Dutchman Fan of Manchester United. Nistruj, but Don Jack is really bad in some ways.
However, Heinx still decided to give Don Jack a chance. After all, the quality of a weapon still needs to be confirmed by real combat, and there are many strikers in Schalke 04, but there is no qualified center.
"If you can cultivate a strong center, it's not bad..."
After the morning training, it is the time to announce the list of tomorrow's game. There is no expectation for this Don Jack. Now he is a little numb, because every expectation will turn into a loss.
Sometimes, he even wonders whether the coach discriminates against him. After the players gathered, Heinx stood in front of everyone with a piece of paper in his hand. The paper said the names of 18 people, who were the big list players for tomorrow's game. Seeing this scene, Jack Don kept complaining that there are only 20 players in the team now, but every time he failed to appear on the list. What is this discrimination?
Heinx didn't know what Don Jack was thinking. He just glanced at the players' expressions and began to read the names on the list: "Roster, Christopher Hemerot, Christian. Polson, Ebe. Sand, Mike Hank, Victor Agari, Kemech, Wadohe, Rodriguez, Lamot and..."
At this point, Heinx looked up at Don Jack and found that the boy didn't seem to listen carefully. Heinx turned black and continued, "Jack. Li." At this time, Jack Don was thinking about what to eat at night, but he didn't react at all. Heinx kept staring at him in the dark. After a while, he didn't react until he felt his teammate stabbed him next to him.
"What?"
Jack Don looked up and saw a group of teammates and coaches looking at him. The expression on the coach's face was really not very good. At this time, he thought that he seemed to hear his name just now.
Your own name?
“...... Am I on the big list?" He said to himself.
"Jack, you can go to the competition with us."
Pearson said with a smile, "Haha, Jack, maybe tomorrow is your debut. Congratulations..." With that, he patted Jack Don on the shoulder and encouraged, "Come on, Jack!"
"I'm really on the big list?"
Don Jack still couldn't believe it. When he saw that Heinx seemed to be on the verge of an outbreak, he said to Pearson, "Thank you." Then, he immediately lowered his head and smiled shyly.
Although he didn't show it, Don Jack was very excited. Since he entered the first team, he has been training, but he has never had a chance. Now, finally waiting for this day, Don Jack is extremely excited.
When Heinx announced the dissolution, Jack Don finally couldn't help jumping up from the same place and waved his fists with a happy look on his face.
Obviously, other teammates understand Jack Don very well. Thinking about the temperament of being on the list for the first time, it's really memorable. They came forward to congratulate Jack Don and wished him a good performance.
............
Being selected into the list is a celebration. In the past, Jack Don would tell Li Xue any good news, but on second thought, he was not sure if he could play tomorrow. Besides, Jack Don didn't know what role he would play for the first time. Although he has confidence in his strength and is confident that he can play well, if the coach doesn't give himself a chance, there is nothing he can do. It doesn't look at how many substitute players the team has. It's completely a role. Every time he enters the list, there are few opportunities to play. From the beginning of the season to now, the playing time is not enough. The game.
Let's wait, wait until you can play, score goals, and even get a big contract, and share your happiness with Cher.
Jack Don thinks so, so this night is no different from usual. It's just that in the morning, Jack Don got up early and came to the club directly without practicing martial arts.
Frankfurt is a little far from Gelsenkirging, and the bus will take at least two hours. In order to give the players a break, head coach Heinx told the players to get on the bus early and drive directly to Frankfurt. When they arrived at the Wald Stadium in Frankfurt, it was eleven o'clock. The assistant coach asked the players to go to the locker room to rest and wait for the game at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Wald Stadium is the home stadium in Frankfurt. Because the name of the stadium is 'Waldstadion' in German, which means 'forest', more fans call it Forest Stadium.
The capacity of the stadium is 52,300 seats, which is also above average among Bundesliga teams. However, due to the history of the team and its influence in the surrounding areas, there are a lot of fans in Frankfurt. The Kicker once made a statistic that the number of fans in Frankfurt ranked fourth among German football clubs, which shows that.
And Frankfurt fans are very loyal. Regardless of the team's performance, they have always maintained a supportive attitude towards the team. In Germany, the most influential club must be the overlord Bayern Munich, but when it comes to the most friendly and loyal fans, many people You can think of Frankfurt.
With the support of many loyal fans, it is obvious that Frankfurt does not have to worry about the league audience at all. Basically, Frankfurt can sell thousands of sets of tickets every year, which is not as good as even Bayern Munich.
So, when the players of the two teams returned to the locker room after the warm-up, Don Jack found that the stadium was full of people, and even many fans stood in the aisle to watch the game. This scene made Don Jack, who had never seen much of the world, a little excited and excited.
"Ky, you're nervous!" Pearson joked.
Jack Don nodded and said, "Haha, I'm not nervous, but I'm very excited. If I can score a goal on this court, I think that scene must be great!"
Pearson rolled his eyes, but with a smile, he found that the boy was so evil.
............
Don Jack and a group of teammates are standing in the player channel, and they are ready to play. They kept looked at the players of Frankfurt, the opponent they were going to face. They wore blue home jerseys, and Schalke 04 was wearing black and white apart away jerseys.
This is the first time that Jack Don has participated in a formal professional league. Standing in the channel, he felt very excited. He felt that his blood was about to boil and he couldn't stand in the same place.
"There's nothing to be nervous about, boy!" A voice sounded in his ear, and Don Jack looked up. It was the oldest Dane, Ebert. Sander, the former captain of Schalke 04, likes to help young people very much. In the team, everyone respects Sander: "This is just an ordinary league, and besides, you are likely to stay on the bench for the whole game."
Although the words are not very pleasant, Don Jack knows Ebe. Sander is reducing his tension, but he feels that he is really not nervous. It's just his first time to participate in a professional league. He is really too excited.
Maybe.
This seems to be more about self-comfort.
"Thank you, Ebe." Don Jack thanked him: "It's not nervous. I'm just looking forward to the game. Yes, you know it's my first time to participate in an official competition."
At this time, the referee signaled the players of the two teams to enter the field, and the voice of the live commentator had sounded on the radio: "Let's welcome the heroes of Frankfurt!"
"Hula..."
Followed by the cheers of fans at the scene, and at the same time, the players of the two teams also played separately. Don Jack was the first to follow Heinks into the court. He was the team's substitute, and then the main players lined up to run into the court.
As the players of the two teams entered the field, the commentator began to introduce the starting lineup of the two teams. Of course, Schalke 04 passed by, but the names of the Frankfurt players shouted loudly one by one, and the cheers of the fans resounded throughout the stadium.
As names are shouted from the commentators on the radio, and from the voices of the fans, Schalke 04 players can easily tell who is more threatening in Frankfurt---
"Ionis--" shouted, and then the fans immediately answered: "--Amanatidis!!!"
"Dis! Diss!"
Following, the commentator read out another name: "Elvin-Scola!!!"
"Hula..."
The voice is louder this time, and Scola is more popular with these Frankfurt fans. In the first 23 league games, Scola has scored eight goals for Frankfurt, ranking ninth in the league scorer list and being Frankfurt's top scorer.
While the fans were shouting, a little man with a loose black beard on his chin on the Frankfurt side of the court waved to the fans with a smile, which attracted more enthusiastic cheers from the whole audience.
"That guy is really popular." On the bench, Christopher. Heimelot couldn't help saying to Don Jack.
Hemerlot is the team's substitute goalkeeper, and it is difficult to play twice in a season, because Hemerlot was born on the border between France and Germany, but his French is very authentic. In the team, the status of the two is not much different now. Perhaps this is also the reason. He often talks with Don Jack.
"Are you jealous?"
"How can I be jealous of him? He is definitely not as good as Pearson. Among the Schalke 04 fans, Pearson is obviously the most popular.
Jack Don smiled and said, "Well, if I have a chance to play later, I will definitely let him know it's awesome."
Haimelot took a look at Don Jack, curled his lips disdainfully, and said, "I don't think you will have a chance to play..."
This sentence hit Don Jack's weakness. As a substitute player or a substitute player who has never participated in the game, Don Jack knows that head coach Heinx is likely to just let him adapt to the atmosphere of the competition, but in such a stadium, he does not participate in the game... What a pity!
"I hope they can score more goals, so that I will have a chance..."
But in fact, Don Jack is thinking that if others have not scored, then he will become a hero to save the team. This idea is really selfish, but as a professional player, he must first think about himself, and then think about the team. Now he is just a substitute for Schalke 04. What qualifications does a substitute newcomer who don't even have a formal contract have to consider the team?
If there is no opportunity to perform, how long will it take to become the main force?
Competition is ubiquitous within a professional team. Only if you can perform well can you stand out in this competition. Don Jack can become a real professional player or even become a big star. So in the case of a bad situation of the team, turning the situation is the best performance of a player.
Such an idea made Don Jack feel a little less guilty, at least he convinced himself.
...........
Frankfurt is not a 'ty nemesis'!
In the last round of the league, they easily lost to the newly promoted Ma Kaiserslautern, but now they are like a rich team. Just as they started, they suppressed Schalke 04 and had no power to fight back.
Unfortunately, the level of Frankfurt's front-court players is really limited. With two strikers and a few frequent midfield shots, most of them deviated from the goal frame, which made Schalke 04 players nervous. Fortunately, there was no danger. In the first 30 minutes of the game, the two teams tied.
It can only be said that Frankfurt's performance is very good, but it is unlucky.
Such a situation made Heinx worried. In order to make the team turn the situation around, in the 30th minute, he replaced the young player Alcides as a midfielder, trying to cut off Frankfurt's attack by blocking the backfield, so that the team could gradually regain its advantage.
But what can Alcides, who is only 19 years old, do?
Although there is nothing wrong with this substitution, the situation in Schalke 04 has not been reversed, and Frankfurt still has an absolute advantage. However, mastering the situation does not mean victory. At least in the first half of the game, Frankfurt had to score a goal. Several offensive players had a chance to shoot in a row, but failed to score a goal.
This makes Heinx a little happy and very worried about the game.
At halftime, Heinx constantly encouraged the players, hoping to reduce their pressure. After the start of the second half of the game, Schalke 04 slightly regained some form, and due to the long-term failure to score goals, Frankfurt's offensive also eased. The game between the two teams fell into a state of anxiety, and they I began to compete in the midfield. As the game progressed, the players on the field had a stronger desire to score goals, so their movements became bigger and bigger.
At this time, the referee became the busiest person. Almost every minute, he blew a whistle. Hemerlot on the bench even laughed that the referee was like a 'fast gunman'.
If it goes on like this, the game is likely to turn into a draw, which is unacceptable to Heinx. There have been three draws ahead. If there is another draw, his head coach is likely to be questioned by fans and reporters, which will make him under great pressure.
“...... Adjustments have to be made!"
Since it is an adjustment, it must be a tactical adjustment or a substitution. Heinx turned his head to the bench. He swept every player on the bench and considered which player to play to change the current situation.
Don Jack felt the head coach's eyes, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pretended to watch the game carefully, which made Heinx nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the boy watched a game seriously, and maybe he had his own opinion on the current situation.
"Maybe he can change the situation?" Heinx hesitated.
At this time, Don Jack was extremely excited. Of course, he hoped that he could appear, but he didn't want to be too obvious. This contradictory mood made him restless and thought about 'Amitabha' in his heart.
"Call my name! Call my name! Call me..." Don Jack kept praying in his heart.
"Hoss..."
Heinx suddenly shouted, and Don Jack looked coldly to the left, but at this time, Heinx hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "... Jack, Lee, go and warm up!"
"What?"
Jack Don didn't even react at the first time. Instead, he immediately stood up from his seat, took off his coat and walked to the side and began to 'jump'... He is so excited!
Think about it, it will be his debut and his performance time, and Jack Don feels that he can't wait.
"Good luck boy!" Seeing Jack Don's appearance, the substitute Shanghai Melote said sourly.
Soon, the assistant coach notified the fourth official, and then the fourth official raised the substitution card of Schalke 04 - "No. 22" and "No. 33".
When he was in the youth team, Jack Don was No. 29, and he never chose a number in the first team. Before the game, he just took a jersey. That was the number of the previous player, but Jack Don felt that it didn't matter much. Although he didn't like No. 30, if he performed well, If you are qualified to choose a number, you will consider changing the number at that time.
At this time, the whole audience noticed that Schalke 04 was going to be replaced.
Schalke 04's No. 22 striker Victor. Agari was replaced, and he was replaced by No. 30 of Schalke 04... Does Schalke 04 have the 30th?
It was not available before.
A newcomer!
The fans subconsciously reacted. After seeing the appearance of the boy on the sidelines from the big screen, they realized that the new boy seemed to be an oriental player or even a Chinese player?
Chinese players!
Although the fans are not sure, in fact, Frankfurt fans are not unfamiliar with Chinese people, because two years ago, there was a Chinese player playing for the team in Frankfurt. His name is chen. Yang, now there is a boy who looks similar, but it's a pity that he is in the opponent's team.
At this time, the commentator from the live broadcast also read it carefully with the information in his hand, and then he wondered, "Jack Don. Lee, my God, who is this?
"Oh, my God, Schalke 04 replaced their main striker Victor with a newcomer. Agari, does Heinx think a newcomer is more trustworthy than Agari? He doesn't want to break Frankfurt's goal with a newcomer, an Asian rookie, is he?
“...... This is so ridiculous!"
As if responding to the commentator's words, the fans also laughed, while Heinx in the coach's seat had a calm face. Although he was calm, in fact, Heinx's heart was also unstable. As the commentator said, will this boy be better than Agari?
Will he make the team more critical after he plays?
Heinx was not sure, but at this time, Don Jack had already hugged Agali and went straight into the court. At this moment, he felt that he was extremely excited and just wanted to vent on the court.
Don Jack knows that his state can't be better!
