King of Competition

Chapter 108 Heinx and Monchengladbach

After this day's training, the next day is also a calm day, but because tomorrow is the league with Borussia Mönchengladbach, the training ground looks very loose in the afternoon.

At this time, Jack Don didn't do yesterday's training, because it was difficult to carry out the training without really going to the game.

What he does is shooting training.

Since the first team really has no goalkeeper who likes to train with Don Jack, they think it's too dangerous, especially on the day before the game. Roster doesn't want to be injured and can't play. As for Hemerlot? After a period of 'lesson', the guy was a little afraid of Don Jack's shot. When Don Jack proposed to train together, he refused directly.

"No, no, no, Jack, I'm still young and don't want to throw myself into God's arms so early. You know, I want to complete the task God gave me in the world, which is to have a baby with my girlfriend. Yes, you know... So..."

Jack Don shrugged his shoulders and could only do shooting training alone.

It's not difficult.

A few days ago, he found a good place behind the club training ground. It was the partition wall of the office building, a thick wall. In front of the wall was a fast and small lawn, directly connected to the runway around the football field.

Don Jack put a few circles on the wall, so that a simple shooting training target was completed.

At the beginning, other people in the team were puzzled by Jack Don's practice, but soon they knew that because the football field was next to the partition wall of the office building, it was always making a 'dong' and 'dong' sound. The doubtful people walked over and looked at it, but they were directly dumbfounded---

There, a black-haired player in training clothes is standing about 30 meters away from the wall. He keeps playing the same football, and each foot has great strength. The ball is constantly kicked and flying towards the wall. Occasionally, it hits the wall, and occasionally tilts a little. In short, it is aimed at the painted target. And go.

This scene makes people feel that Jack Don's shot is accurate, but the shot is too strong.

When he trained like this for the first time, Jack Don felt good. The assistant coach looked at his training and unconsciously said, "Doesn't this guy know that he is tired?"

People around me didn't realize this problem until they heard this sentence.

It's not too difficult to kick the football against the wall again and again by vigorous volley, and then bounce back and continue to volley, but what about ten shots in a row? Twenty feet in a row? Dozens of feet?

"Jack, he is not a human at all. He is a beast..." Even Asamoa said so.

Everyone understands very well. After all, ordinary people really can't do this kind of shooting training, because Jack Don shoots for half an hour. The team's free training time every afternoon is about 40 minutes, and the team keeps drawing the ball in the same way for half an hour. No wonder this boy's long-range shot is so threatening!

This afternoon, except for the team's tactical class, Don Jack has been doing shooting training. He didn't want to improve anything, but just repeated this kind of training to immerse himself in the enjoyment of shooting.

Yes, enjoy it!

Now for Don Jack, he can't improve the ball hard, and it is also his pursuit to enjoy the fun of football. And Don Jack doesn't care much about tomorrow's game, because it's the coach's job, as long as he finishes his work as usual.

At the beginning, Germany did not have Mönchengladbach, only Gladbach. However, in order to distinguish it from other cities that also use this name, the city was renamed Munich-Gradbach in 1888. However, it is easy to mistakenly think that it is a district of Munich, so it was renamed Monchen-gladbach in 1950 and finally renamed Monchen-gladbach in 1960.

It is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. A city west of Düsseldorf, the capital of the canton, with a population of about 260,000, is a famous textile and clothing manufacturing center in Germany.

The city is not famous, and the only famous club is the Prussian Sports Exercise Club of Mönchengladbach.

The club was founded on August 1, 1900 and waited for 20 years to win the regional German Western League championship. In 1960, Mönchengladbach defeated Karlsruhe 3-2 in Düsseldorf, winning the national German Cup for the first time in history.

Since entering the Bundesliga in 1965, the young team led by Hans Weiswiler began to enter the golden age. The team won the league championship in the 1970s, the German Cup in five times, the UEFA Cup final four times and two championships. It was the first to win the UEFA Cup and the only two championships. The champion of the German team.

In the golden age of Borussia Mönchengladbach, the club's adherence to full-attack tactics was widely welcomed by all German fans. Unfortunately, due to the small capacity of the stadium, poor local development and limited financial resources, it is really difficult to compete with Bayern Munich for a long time. The golden age of Borussia Mönchengladbach came to an end in the early 1980s. The team needed to sell excellent players to balance financial balance and lack excellent coaches, and the success could not continue.

After the decline, Borussia Mönchengladbach only won the German Cup in 1995. Although it still has qualified players such as Tony Bolt, the team will inevitably be relegated to the second division in the 1999 season and return to the first division two years after the second division.

Such a team seems to have nothing to do with Schalke 04.

However, this game was fired by the media. The main reason is not the players of the two teams, the history of the club, etc., but the coach Heinx of Schalke 04!

When it comes to Heinx's name, German fans will think of the identity of 'coach'. Since 1985, Heinx has been one of the best coaches in Germany. However, some elderly fans can still think of Heinx's glory when he was a player.

In the era of players, Heinx was an excellent striker with elegant style and excellent shooting skills. He was one of the most famous centers in German football in the 1960s and 1970s. Heinkes first received football training at Leverkusen, but started his career with Mönchengladbach.

At that time, Menxing was in the western division of the regional league. Only the first place in the division could be promoted to the Bundesliga. In the 1964-65 season, he scored 23 goals in 25 games to help Menxing advance successfully. In 1967, Heinx unexpectedly chose to transfer and joined the Hannover 96 team, but he was not successful there. Neither he nor the whole team's performance was good enough. So in 1970, he returned to Mönchengladbach and helped the team defend the league championship.

After returning to Menxing, Heinx has maintained a high level of performance. Especially in the three seasons of 1972-1975, Heinx scored 85 goals in 97 league games and won the Bundesliga Golden Boot twice in a row. Since then, although he has reduced the number of appearances due to injuries and other effects, he still maintained a high goal rate and helped Menxing complete three consecutive championships.

In the total goal list in the history of the Bundesliga, Heinx ranked third in Germany with 220 goals in 369 games. In addition, Heinx's performance on the European battlefield is also commendable. In the 55 games he participated in, he contributed a total of 45 goals to Menxing, and also scored six goals for Hanover. The total number of goals in Europe ranked eighth in Europe and second in Germany.

That is to say, in Heinx's player era, he participated in a total of 13 seasons. In ten seasons, he played for Mönchengladbach, and he was also the best scorer in a hundred years!

Now, Heinx has led another team to his once brilliant club, and the two have also become rivals. Of course, this topic is worthy of journalists' hype.

What will Heinx think of such a game? Does he still have feelings for Mönchengladbach?

Who will win or lose between the two teams?

......

In a word, when media reporters want to hype a game, as long as they can get a little relationship, they can make the game a focus battle. Unfortunately, only the reporters of Gelsenkirchen and Mönchengladbach are concerned about these, because at this time, journalists from all over Germany have gone to Munich. , visit the 'German Derby' - Bayern Munich VS Werda Bremen.
