Chapter 34 The Way of Football

Wishes are beautiful, and reality is cruel.

Before playing, Don Jack kept thinking about the scene of killing and scoring goals after he came on the field, and even simulated the celebration action in his mind, as if he could definitely perform like this.

But what about the fact?

In the past ten minutes, it seems that there is no Don Jack on the court.

At the beginning, some fans of our team paid a little attention to Don Jack. They knew this black-haired boy. This boy once scored a hat trick in Bayern Munich in the youth team's game. Just a hat trick made many Schalke 04 fans know Don Jack.

But that's a youth team game after all!

So the fans are not sure of Jack Don's strength. They hope to see how he can perform in the first team.

But ten minutes have passed, not to mention the goal, even Don Jack's number of touches is pitiful. Gradually, everyone seems to habitually look away and no longer pay attention to Don Jack.

And what about the home team fans?

Frankfurt fans still have a good impression on Chinese people. They also want to see what performance this likely Chinese opponent player can do, and whether it will be better than their 'Yang'.

As a result, they were disappointed.

The opponent's strength is not strong, which seems to be worth celebrating. Frankfurt's fans are entangled, but the result is the same, that is, no one pays attention to this new rookie.

Exit show?

The debut of most professional players will almost be a tragedy, which is just to add some game experience, or more specifically, to go on the court to experience the atmosphere of the professional field, that's all!

What's the point of this?

At this time, Jack Don, who was ignored by everyone, of course knew his situation. He was very unwilling. The whole audience, including the expression and expression that his opponent almost ignored, made him feel humiliated!

As a Shaolin master, Jack Tang will almost become the focus no matter where he goes, so now he seems to have become a runner? How can this be? He was a little angry, but his mind was still clear. He knew that he was in trouble in the first game.

Seeing the two teams of players who were constantly fighting in the midfield, Don Jack clenched his fist fiercely.

............

Unlike the tactics of the youth team, Schalke 04, as a top league professional team, focuses on the middle attack. Although the two sides are also very important, the left side has always been the team's weakness. Because the team has many excellent midfielders, Schalke 04 will have more choices to compete with their opponents. Control the game to control the situation of the game.

In the team, there were three strikers before, one was the 32-year-old veteran and the former captain of the team. Sander, even if he is old, the Dane is still the absolute main force of the team. He is also the team's top scorer. Schalke 04's ranking is directly related to Sander's goal.

The second striker is Victor, who has just been replaced. Agari is a Nigerian. His height of 193 makes him a high-school striker in the team's frontcourt and the team's second striker. In 2001, Agari transferred to Schalke 04 for 5.5 million euros. Now he is only 26 years old. He can be said to be a year of integrity and also a center striker. Don Jack's direct competitor is Agari.

The third striker, that is, the first substitute in the front court, is Mike, the No. 26 player. Hank, he is also from the Schalke 04 youth team, but because he is only 21 years old, his competition experience is insufficient, and his personal skills are slightly poor. Hank is at an absolute disadvantage in the competition. For example, this time, because Don Jack is on the list, Hank can only stay in the club.

Don Jack is replacing Victor. Agari played, so he was the center of the team. His task is to stand in the front court to attract the attention of the opponent and ensure the existence of teammates' goals.

Of course, if the opportunity is good, anyone can choose to shoot.

From a tactical point of view, the positioning of Don Jack's responsibility does not seem to be complicated, but when Don Jack really participates in the game, he finds that the gap between the professional league and the youth league is too big. In the past, he thought of the professional league too simple.

Professional football requires strong awareness and cooperation.

And these things happen to be what Don Jack is least good at. Due to the short training time and poor foundation, it is difficult for him to keep up with the pace of the team.

Just like this time, Polson knocked the ball to Asamoa on the side, who broke through the penalty area with the ball. At this time, Don Jack was running towards the right side of the penalty area and followed by Ebe in the middle. When Sander received the pass and saw that there was no chance, he subconsciously took it to the left. According to the normal football tactics, Don Jack should run to the right to pull the opponent's defense line, attract attention, and look for the receiving space. But he did not react at all. As a result, Jack Tang blocked Sander's dribble instead... .

This is really embarrassing.

"Is that guy from Frankfurt?" Some fans laughed so much.

Fortunately, Ebe. Sander understood Jack Don's embarrassment and did not pursue anything. Jack Don could only apologize to Sander with embarrassment.

This is more than the situation. Sometimes, Don Jack's position is very good, so his teammates pass the ball in an instant. But you should know that the pass of the official professional league is often very appropriate. The other party passes the ball to the open space, but Don Jack stops to catch the ball. How can he receive the ball in such a situation?

Sometimes Jack Don runs forward, but often can't catch the pass, and so on. In short, Jack Don's performance has been really bad, which makes even the opposing players don't want to defend him, because they think Jack Don has no threat. It's a waste to send a player to keep an eye on the defense. It is.

It's enough to take a little care...

It's like the joke of a live commentator: "How can a rookie in the Bundesliga perform? This is a complete joke!"

"Mr. Heinx, the head coach of Schalke 04, hopes to use a rookie to break the fans of Frankfurt, but now it has become 12-10 on the court. I think in a while, Schalke 04 will not have an attack, because they have learned that it is meaningless..."

"I think, maybe Mr. Heinx has given up the game. He uses the game to train newcomers. This is really good news. I just hope our heroes can work hard. After all, the score is still 0-0 now..." With the words of the commentator, the big screen of the court also timely pointed the camera at Heinx on the Schalke 04 bench. Heinx put his hands on his knees and dragged his chin to look at the court, with no expression on his face. This look will remind people of disappointment and helplessness.

"Jack, be serious!"

On the court, in an attack of Schalke 04, after Don Jack received the pass, he was directly robbed by the opponent. Sander frowned and immediately reminded him.

Don Jack nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you, I will."

After Sander's reminder, Don Jack found that his mentality was a little unstable. This may be that the gap between reality and imagination was so big that he could not accept it. Such a mentality would make his performance worse. As a player who has been playing black ball before, I can't adapt to formal football. The pace of professional games is very normal. I also thought about this situation before, but I haven't really considered these. It's normal for me to have such a performance.

There is nothing strange about this.

So what should I do now?

Don Jack thought of Maximilian, who had always cared about his agent, and Ebe who kept guiding him. Sander thought of his lovely sister Li Xue and thought of... I'm really sorry for their performance now, but the important thing is the ongoing game.

Why did the coach let himself play?

Obviously, it is to hope that I can break this anxious state. With the current performance, this is an almost impossible task, so I should try my best to adapt to the rhythm of the team!

Yes!

There is a saying in martial arts that only in real fighting can we break through the bottleneck, and only between life and death can we understand a higher level of martial arts, but why is football not like this?

The current game may make me very depressed, but in fact, participating in such a game may be more effective than my hard training for a month, which can adapt to tactics and improve my ability.

And if you have a chance, you must score a goal!

These are what you should do.

Even if he loses the game, coach Heinx wants to see a person who works hard to adapt to the team, not a player who is at a loss, right?

Jack Don figured it out. After understanding this, he felt that his mind was suddenly enlightened. If you use 'Tao' to describe it, use every game to improve yourself, make a hundred points of effort, and seize every opportunity to score goals. This is your own way of football.
