Chapter 113 End of the season

On the second day of the game with Borussia Mönchengladbach, the team had a direct holiday. Although the two-day holiday was not much, it explained the state of the whole team at this time.

As usual, the end of the season is the busiest, but Schalke 04's league ranking is worry-free, and it is impossible to win the third place in the league. The team has no fighting spirit all day long. But in any case, for Schalke 04, this season is indeed over, and the club also takes into account the state of the players, so they simply take a holiday and deal with it casually during the game.

This state is probably what the opponent wants to see most, such as Kaiserslautern, who is under pressure of relegation. This team is currently ranked third to last in the Bundesliga. If they know that Schalke 04 is in this state, they will be very happy. After all, Schalke 04 is now in the Bundesliga, but there is no team that the team wants to meet. The main reason is that Don Jack is in a good state. He scores goals in every game. This kind of data puts most teams under pressure. After all, they are almost one-to-zero behind before the game. No one really wants to meet.

However, this game with Menxing still has some influence.

For example, Monchengladbach fans and reporters were very satisfied with the game. In the report the next day, the draw of Borussia Monchengladbach was almost a great victory in history by these reporters, because Bayern and Bochum fell at the foot of Schalke 04, but they won a draw. In terms of the relationship of victory or defeat, the door Xinggradbach did a good job.

Unfortunately, everyone knows that Mönchengladbach is just luck. After all, Schalke 04 is not in good condition in the game, and it can be clearly seen as a fan...

These have no impact on Jack Don. In order to have a good holiday at the beginning, he did not receive any interviews after the game. He just went home alone and planned to stay at home for two days, then check his internal strength, and also live a comfortable life for two days.

After this holiday, Li Xue is going to Munich to officially go to school, and Vanessa, the seductive little girl, has not known where to go to make a movie for a long time. She will still pay attention to these Don Jacks, and he is still very concerned about the people around her.

He is looking forward to the holiday.

On the morning of the next day's holiday, Don Jack met several fans. They were talking about this season's Schalke 04 in a breakfast shop near the apartment. These people know Jack Don. As usual, he would come here every two days. Everyone is familiar with it. These fans will be kind when they see Jack Tang. If you say hello, Jack Don will respond a little, and they will not affect Jack Don's normal life.

Jack Don still likes this way of communication. After all, he always becomes the protagonist, and anyone will be bored.

"It's not bad. The team is the fifth in the league..."

This kind of argument is also the main voice of Schalke 04 fans. In fact, in the middle of the season, Schalke 04 fans did not expect that the team could go this far. At that time, Schalke 04 was always hovering around the seventh and eighth, and there was even a gap of more than 10 or 20 points from the top few. They think that there will be no gain this season, and they don't even have the opportunity to participate in the League Cup qualifiers, but now Schalke 04 ranks fifth in the league and steadily gets the admission ticket to the League Cup next season. This exceeded the expectations of the fans.

"Jack is still awesome! We should thank Jack!" Someone proposed to say so, and then the fans were like Don Jack to express their gratitude.

Don Jack, who was surrounded by fans, just smiled indifferently and said, "I just give full play to my strength. This is professional ethics."

That's true. Don Jack feels that he should still thank these lovely fans. They continue to support the club and support themselves. It is because of these many lovely fans that European football can develop to such a scale, and Schalke 04 Club can continue to maintain it. Of course, this first achievement is Write it on the fans' heads.

As for himself?

Your performance is just the professional ethics of football players. If you have the ability but don't show it, it's not only the lack of professional ethics, but also a little brain problem... After all, when every professional player enters the world of football, he also considers his own development.

And Jack Don started all for money!

Looking at these fans, Jack Don laughed from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, since joining a professional club, Don Jack's first feeling about the fans is that he has really met fewer fans. Professional players are like big stars, rarely communicating with fans, and the space for communication with people is only limited to the scope of professional players. Don Jack doesn't want to do this. But there is nothing we can do. The fans are not only the fans of the club, but also the fans of some football stars. Don Jack has no reputation in Europe now, but he also knows that he already has a lot of fans in Gelsenkirxing. These fans like to watch him play football. This is an achievement, and it is not between himself and the fans. An insurmountable dividing line?

Therefore, Don Jack enjoys chatting with sincere fans every morning these days, which makes him feel lonely and relieved.

Jack Don returned home after breakfast. He cherishes every minute and every second of his life. In this life, he doesn't have to work hard to practice. The important thing is to enjoy it. Enjoying life is real.

'If you can be more comfortable, why do you still want to be an ascetic?' This is what he thinks now.

There is no pursuit in the league. It is a relief for Schalke 04 club, but there are still two rounds of the league, that is, the match against Wolfsburg on May 15th, and the match against Kaiserslautern on May 22nd. These two games are irrelevant to Schalke 04. But it is also necessary to participate. In fact, there are still some 'stubborn' people in Schalke 04 Club who think that Schalke 04 still has a chance---

In case Leverkusen loses two games in a row and Schalke wins two times in a row, it is still possible to win the third place in the league, and even if there is no hope for the third place in the league, it is no practical interest to surpass Stuttgart to win the fourth place in the league. It's better to say it!

There are many people with these ideas, but the real Schalke 04 manager doesn't care, and Schalke 04 fans don't care much. As for the players?

They are all preparing for a vacation....

The club doesn't have much fighting spirit. Jack Don also knows this very well. He is also in the ranks of ordinary players. After all, there is nothing of practical interest. He is really lazy to think about it. More importantly, he has feelings for some of Schalke 04's teammates, but he really doesn't have much feelings for Schalke 04. .

Maybe they accepted themselves, which was the first stop of their career, but didn't they also help the team get the current ranking?

Anyway, Jack Tang has a clear conscience.

※※※

In the current stage of the Bundesliga, the form of the top few places in the Bundesliga is already very clear. Wender Bremen, the first place in the Bundesliga, has no suspense, and the second position in the Bayern Munich League is also unshakable. Now what everyone is concerned about is whether Stuttgart can have a chance to surpass Leverkusen, but most people I'm not optimistic. After all, there is a four-point gap between the two teams, which is too much for the two games.

As for Schalke 04?

Everyone is more concerned about their players, such as Alcides, Hemerot and so on. Of course, they are most concerned about Don Jack.

In Schalke 04 this season, one of the outstanding young star is Don Jack, and the other is Alcides. The performance of these two people is really eye-catching. What's more, they are less than 20 years old. Don Jack's passport shows that he is only 20 years old in a month, that's all.

Although in fact, Jack Don doesn't know when his birthday is...

This is really sad, but Don Jack's previous life was not very good. He has been living in an orphanage since he can remember, and then wandered in the slums of Morocco. How can such a child be in the mood to remember his birthday?

Of course, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Don Jack is very young, and this season is also a virgin professional season. In the first Bundesliga season, such performance is very influential in European football clubs. The media don't care about the influence. They use this influence to create some gossip news. .

"Horsefield publicly approved Jack. Li, I don't know if this little guy will appear in Bayern's lineup next season!"

Premier League Manchester United head coach Ferguson: He is the most ideal center in my heart, and he will be Fan. Niestrui's successor!"

"Heverkusen intends to introduce the No. 30 player of Schalke 04 to hit the championship with the following season!"

.......

and so on, such news abound, and some even Don Jack think it is too fake, such as this--"Russian tycoon Abramovich: Introducing Jack at all costs. Li!"

This news was seen by Don Jack by chance. Don Jack really doesn't know anything about the newly emerging Chelsea in the Premier League. He only knows that the club seems to be very rich, and people around him call it 'starts'.

However, Don Jack knew that this was fake news, because he didn't receive any news about Chelsea's attention to him.

At present, Jack Don is still thinking about the holiday and the next two games, but he doesn't have much time to pay attention to his transfer. After all, there is an agent Maximilian who is worried about these things. He only needs to express his opinion during the transfer.

It is difficult for these to affect Don Jack's mind.

Another thing caught his attention, that is, several reporters from the East wanted to interview him these days. At the beginning, Don Jack thought it was Japanese or Korean, so he refused directly. But when he heard the club staff mention it, he knew that those people were Chinese.

Chinese!

In his previous life, Jack Tang did not have this concept. At that time, he only knew the Central Plains, but now the Central Plains people can be said to be Chinese. He felt a little guilty about his refusal to interview. In this distant country, it was really rare to see several people of the same origin as himself.

Finally, Don Jack still told the staff that when those people came to interview, they would make an appointment directly. He hoped to meet these people.

Even if they are journalists...

What's more, he plans to go to China with his sister during the holiday, so it's a good choice to know the environment there in advance. After all, what can be found on the Internet is really limited. It's better to talk about it in front of people to know more.

If he doesn't say a few more words in his Chinese, Jack Tang will almost forget it. He doesn't want this to be like this. In his opinion, this is the same as deceiving his ancestors, which is unacceptable to him.

On May 15, in the 2003-2004 season, the penultimate round of the Bundesliga began, and Schalke 04 ushered in a new opponent Wolfsburg at home.

This team, Don Jack, has never heard of it before. Maybe it's because of his lack of football knowledge. It's not very important. In fact, most people and even the players and fans of the two teams are not very important, because the situation of the two teams is similar. Wolfsburg has no pressure to relegation, and it is impossible to compete for anything. They have no desire to qualify for the competition. They just want to deal with the league and wait for the holiday.

This time, Schalke 04 returned to the home court and fought at the Fairings Stadium. It was not on the road, so everyone was in a very good state. The difference between home and away, the first is the familiar land, and the second is the support level of the fans. When playing at home, 80% or more of the fans are all fans of their own clubs. With the support of many fans, the players will certainly play very energetically, and on the contrary, the opponent's feeling is definitely not very good. OK.

This is also the reason why the general team performs well at home.

In any case, the game still has to be played. Although this game did not have much effect, the Schalke 04 fans who came to the scene still accounted for three-quarters of the stadium seats, and there were only a few hundred fans who followed Wolfsburg to Gelsenkirsching. I think about it, these people are really Wolfs. A hardcore supporter of the castle.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Schalke 04 players. No matter how many fans there are, their status has also improved a little.

The final score was 2-0. Schalke 04 easily won a home victory. The score of the goal was Don Jack and Ebe. Sander, Don Jack made a long-range shot, and Sander scored with a penalty.

Such a competition is really boring, but you can't go without participating.

Fortunately, now that the game has passed, after the game, the Wolfsburg players left directly by bus, and the Schalke 04 players also disbanded. Heinx just told everyone that the day before the last game, the club had to report.

"What a boring game. Why is there another round?" Pearson is full of sadness.

A round of the league means a week, and his and his girlfriend's travel plans are a week late at the same time. No wonder he complains.

Before this game, Don Jack finally received a call from Maximilian.

"Manchester United invited you to Manchester. Are you interested?"

Jack Don didn't know why. After thinking about it, he learned that Maximilian was already running for his transfer, so he replied, "I didn't want to leave, but if Schalke 04 Club agrees, of course I don't care."

This is his idea. After all, he really lacks understanding of other clubs. In Don Jack's opinion, he is not familiar with where to transfer, so he thinks it's enough for Maximilian to worry about these.

Sure enough, Maximilian said directly: "Now many clubs in the Premier League are interested in you. I don't think you need to be depressed about not having a ball next season. You are a hot item now!" Among these clubs, I think Manchester United is a good choice. The Premier League teams are very sincere.

Ordinary people can't react for a moment when they hear this, but Don Jack knows that Maximilian is talking about his transfer---

Where are you going?

Don Jack is at a loss. He still wants to consider this issue after the end of the season. What's more, hasn't he figured out whether he wants to stay in Gelsenkirxing? He didn't know this, Maximilian didn't know it, and the Schalke 04 Club didn't know it either, because there were too many transfer applications for Don Jack, and they couldn't see it.

But the league continues.

Soon into the end of May, Schalke 04 ushered in the last game. They are going to challenge Caesarslauten in the relegation zone.

"This game is crucial. I hope the team can win, so we still have hope to be relegated successfully." In the home team's locker room, that's what the opposing coach said to the players.

In contrast, the dressing room of Schalke 04 players is a harmony.

Some players have even begun to think about where to go for Happy during the holiday. This idea comes more from those young players, such as Mike. Hank, such as Alcides, don't have a girlfriend, but they want to go to the famous 'Red Light District' in Europe.

For example, somewhere in the Netherlands, or somewhere in Portugal.

Don Jack is not interested in these. The women around him are not even finished yet. How can he be in the mood to consider those women who spend money?

With this mentality, the game began.

The state of the Schalke 04 team can be imagined. Even Don Jack is not in a good state, let alone others. On the other hand, his opponent Kaiserslautern is full of momentum. Although there is a gap in the team's strength, Schalke 04 does not have much ability to fight back.

In the end, the game ended with a 1:0 result, and Schalke 04 suffered a defeat in the last round of the league.

But for Schalke 04, it doesn't matter. They don't care at all, and Kaiserslautern is even more tragic, because although they won, in the Bundesliga at the same time, the other two relegation teams also won. As a result, although Kaiserslauten scored three points, he still Failed to be relegated.

The moment the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, they were happy for a few minutes and got the news of Kaiserslautern's relegation...

This is really a tragedy.

This has little to do with Don Jack. The important thing is that the first season of his career is finally over.

The ending is not perfect, but it's not bad for him.
