Chapter 61 The Head Coach's Promise

At halftime, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room at Feltings Stadium was not very good, because Hamburg was two goals behind in the first half. In the away game, they could not see the hope of winning.

The whole dressing room is full of a depressing atmosphere.

Or the head coach who finally came to the locker room, Toplum, broke the silence and looked at a player who made a mistake with a low profile. Toplum thought and said, "Do you remember what I said before the start of the first game of the season?"

All the players raised their heads doubtfully. How could they think of such a 'long-standing' thing?

Seeing this situation, Toplum was not angry, but explained quietly: "At that time, our opponent was Stuttgart. Everyone felt that the team had no hope of winning. Also at halftime, I said, 'Our goal this season is to play every game well, not before the league. Six people!'"

Hamburg's requirement for Toplum is to lead the team to the top six in the Bundesliga, which is the general goal of Hamburg this season, and all players know it. After such a reminder from Toplum, everyone remembered the game.

It was the first round of the league, Hamburg's away challenge to Stuttgart.

Stuttgart is a recognized giant team in the Bundesliga. Even in the whole of Europe, this team is a quasi-tycoon. Although Stuttgart does not have a chance to play the UEFA Champions League every season, it can at least participate in its League Cup, play European events, and in the past five years, Stu Gat has been a favorite to win the UEFA Cup for three years.

Compared with such a team, Hamburg is far from each other. Their performance last season was not very good, and their goal was just to qualify for the League Cup.

It is normal for Hamburgers to have psychological pressure when the two teams play against each other.

The game also developed in this way. In the first half, Stuttgart took the lead by one goal, so at halftime, Toplum said, 'Our goal this season is not to win the top six of the league, but to work hard to play every game', which is self-evident, that is to say, Hamburg players Don't have pressure in your heart. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. The important thing is that we have worked hard. As a professional player, we have tried our best to play. It's enough for the club and the fans!

In this way, Hamburg players were refreshed, so Hamburg scored two goals in a row in the second half and completed the reversal on the road.

Speaking of this, thinking about the current atmosphere of the team, the Hamburg players in the locker room all feel very guilty - guilt for the head coach Toplum and the fans.

Looking at the players' renewed spirit, Toplum nodded with satisfaction: "Now you know what to do?"

"We want to reverse them!"

"Don't worry, coach, I will kick them!"

"We will stick to the last minute of the game!"

......

"Very good!" Toplum picked up the tactical version and said, "Well, let's arrange the tactics of the second half of the game. I think we should make some small adjustments."

Of course, it needs to be adjusted!

Judging from the overall situation in the first half of the game, Hamburg's current formation and tactics can't beat Schalke 04 at all, otherwise it would not easily lose two goals.

Schalke 04's midfield is a level better than Hamburg's, and there is a strong striker in the forward line, which makes the situation in Hamburg extremely passive. Although the two teams are comparable in offensive momentum, the gap in offensive efficiency is too big.

Toplum must make some targeted adjustments to move back to this disadvantage, and with the serious attitude of the players, it is possible to save the situation at Fairtings Stadium.

Compared with the dullness of the visiting team's locker room, the atmosphere between the Schalke 04 players in the locker room of the home team is much better. Everyone talked and laughed about the first half of the game. Among them, the best-performing Don Jack was warmly 'congratulations' by a kind of thick-faced and dark-hearted teammates.

"Jack! Jack!" Asamoa looked happy and friendly: "Congratulations, Jack. Your performance is really excellent. I think you should be the first to win today. I'm about to become your fan!"

This sounded really pleasant to my ears, but Asamoa said, he grabbed Don Jack's hair with his hand, which made him sweaty hair and directly turned into a chicken coop.

"That's right, Jack! You are awesome!"

"God, the ball is scored again... It's Jack!! Jack!! Hahahahaha..."

"Jack, let me see what kind of material your leg is. How can it be so strong?"

※※※

There is everything in the locker room, and most of them are words of praise, which makes people feel comfortable. However, these people always like to move their hands and feet when talking. They all learn from Asamoa, which makes Jack Don very helpless.

As soon as he entered the locker room, his hair had evolved from a chicken coop to a haystack.

Fortunately, Mike is the same age as Don Jack. Hank is still very stingy. The tall man has been smiling at Jack Don and watching him fight with everyone.

However, Jack Don always feels that the smile in Hank's eyes always has some sadness and other colors.

"It's just a goal, as for this..."

It's really a full man who doesn't know that hungry men are hungry!

After a whole season, Schalke 04 is now ranked seventh in the league. This result is not too good or bad, but the team's current top scorer Ebe. Sander has only scored nine goals, and only the other is the Turkish striker Hamit, who has been injured in 20 rounds and has been receiving treatment. Altentop scored five goals, and the others were like Mike. Hank, Victor. Agari, Rodriguez, Asamoa and others only scored three goals.

Think about it again, this is only the third game of Don Jack's landing in the Bundesliga. He has scored three goals, which is much more than the total number of goals scored in a season than others. How can other players psychologically balance?

Fortunately, just as everyone thought about it, the more red eyes became, the head coach Heinx came in from the outside with a happy face.

"In the first half, everyone performed very well!" As soon as he came up, Heinx praised the team's performance. He especially mentioned Don Jack: "especially Jack! The last shot was really good. I'm about to become your fan, little Jack!"

All the players in the locker room laughed.

"Of course, Jack will continue to work hard, if there is another one in the second half..." Speaking of this, Heinx paused. After seeing that everyone looked at him expectantly, in order to maintain his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's have dinner in the evening. I'll treat you!"

"Hula..." The dressing room is full of incredible sounds.

While this made Heinx embarrassed, he was also extremely dissatisfied: "Do you have any opinions? Oh, if everyone doesn't..."

"No, dear Mr. Heinkes, we all support you!"

"You're always right, sir. Jack will work hard!"

"I promised him, coach, don't worry, I think Jack will live up to your expectations..."

......

Jack Don couldn't help rolling his eyes. In one sentence, he seemed to have been sold by a group of teammates. But Heinx was not very satisfied. He regretted what he had just said, in case... Just in case... He took a look at the black-haired boy with a helpless expression: "In case this boy really scores a goal..."

"Should I be happy or sad?"

It's not clear.

Not to mention the others, even Heinx himself did not know. He secretly said that he would never make such a guarantee in the future, and then he gritted his teeth and began to arrange the tactics of the players in the second half.

However, he has made up his mind that as long as the team can lead by three goals, he will immediately replace Jack Don from the game... Anyway, the team must have won. It should be time for other substitutes to increase their game experience.

At this time, he didn't think that Jack Don was not the main force of the team.
