Gelsenkirchen, Schalke 04 training base.
The training ground here was open, and there were no high walls blocking it.
There were often fans outside the stadium watching their home team train.
There were also many media reporters waiting outside the training ground.
There were about seven or eight companies waiting for him, and most of them were German media.
As Schalke 04 and Dortmund were both located in the Ruhr area of Germany's heavy industry,
Therefore, the next round of the league tournament was also one of the most popular derbies in the world, the Ruhr Derby.
The German media was very concerned about the highlight of the seventh round of the Bundesliga.
Among the many German media outlets, there were also some Central TV reporters.
Ever since Xuan's hat-trick against Bayern, Central TV had quickly sent a group of reporters to Germany.
This 'European team' was basically stationed in Ormond, following and interviewing Xuan's situation.
Sometimes, they would even report on Shao Jiayi's performance in the second division.
After all, since Yang Chen, Li Tie, Zheng Zhi, Dong Fangzhuo and others had returned to the country,
Shao Jiayi and Xuan were the only two players left to study abroad.
Recently, there was news that Schalke 04 was about to sign the national footballer Hao Junmin, and the team rushed to Gelsenkirchen.
When the team's training was finally over, the CCTV reporters finally got to see the manager of FC Schalke 04, Felix Magath.
"Hello, we are Taki.| I'm a football reporter from Central TV Sports Channel. I made an appointment with you before.”
"Yes, yes, Mud Howler, Mud Gate Howler!"
Margate for the East| Fang Wenhua was very interested. She smiled and greeted him in Chinese with a strange accent.
Seeing his friendly attitude, Central TV reporter Wang He casually exchanged a few pleasantries and then went straight to the point.
"There is news that Schalke 04 is in contact with Hao Junmin. Are you planning to sign him in the near future?”
"Yes, I am. I have a deep impression of him. I wanted to sign him when I was at Wolfberg.”
Speaking of Hao Junmin, Margate nodded.
"He has an excellent sense of the ball. He has a good combination of skills with the ball, and he is fast.”
"The most important thing is that Hao Junmin is good at fighting and actively returning to defend. These are all excellent qualities.”
"We are already in contact with the Taida Club…"
"Maybe at the end of the season, we might bring Hao to Schalke 04.”
Margate didn't say anything definite.
He still had a certain understanding of the domestic football scene.
Sometimes, the clubs there would actually prevent players from coming to Europe to play, regardless of asking for exorbitant prices or destroying cooperation.
Margate couldn't figure it out no matter what. There were clearly many talented young people who could come out to play, so why did he stop them?
In the end, the club's strength could not be improved, and it also ruined the opportunity for good seedlings to grow.
What a pity!
Therefore, Margate hoped that Hao Junmin would join Schalke 04 successfully.
Reporter Wang Yao interviewed Hao Junmin for more details. Then, he changed the topic and mentioned the upcoming Bundesliga.
"In the next round of the league tournament, Schalke 04 will be playing the Ruhr Derby against Dortmund.”
"What do you think of this match?"
Margate was also an old fox. His glasses reflected light slightly as he grinned.
"Dortmund is our old rival. They want to be hot in every derby.”
"Their home game is also famous for being difficult to play.”
"But we are already prepared. If they dare to let down their guard, we will give Dortmund a surprise!”
Margate showed his confidence, but he did not reveal any key information.
Wang He was also helpless.
Why don't you translate it for me? What the f * ck is a f * ck surprise?
Translate, translate!
Then, she threw out her final question.
"Dortmund's striker, Chu Xuan, has scored in both games as a substitute…"
"May I ask what kind of plan you have to deal with Xuan's fiery state?”
Xuan was his own countryman. Wang He was very proud of his outstanding performance in the Bundesliga.
She also wanted to know how the coaches of the other teams viewed Xuan.
The smiling Margate frowned slightly when he mentioned Xuan.
"Chu, he's very good at seizing opportunities, just like Italy's Super Pippo (Inzaghi)."
"However, he also has his own shortcomings. He is not qualified to be a modern all-round center forward.”
"I believe we can restrict Chu's performance…"
"If he has the chance to play…hehe.”
After the interview, the Central TV reporters and cameramen packed up their equipment and left the training ground.
In the car, the cameraman could not help but complain to the reporters.
"Sister Li, Margate is really an old fox. He only knows how to play Tai Chi.”
"What did he mean by that last sentence? Could it be that Xuan really didn't have a chance to appear?”
Wang Lin, who was leading the interview, was also a senior football reporter. She smiled mysteriously and said,
"I feel like…Margate is actually a little scared.”
"Afraid?" The cameraman couldn't believe it. A coach like Margate would be afraid of Xuan?
That was impossible.
"If I'm not wrong, he doesn't know how to deal with Xuan.”
"Whenever people think that Xuan is only at this level, he will always prove it with his actions.”
"You…will never be able to see through my true strength!”
……
There were still two days before the explosive Ruhr Derby. Xuan could already feel the atmosphere before the big battle.
Through understanding, Xuan already knew that there was a deep grudge between the two teams.
Students who studied geography very seriously would remember that the Ruhr region of Germany was a world-famous industrial area.
It was filled with coal mines, steel, and other heavy industries, and was known as the " heart of German industry."
Schalke 04 fans were coal miners, while Dortmund was a steel mill worker.
The two different groups looked down on each other, and the way they competed was football.
Since the establishment of the two teams, both sides had won and lost.
Then, the Bundesliga was established, and the two arch-enemies fought and became enemies.
This kind of hatred seemed to have reached the point of paranoia.
There was an unwritten rule in Gelsenkirchen that it was best not to add yellow to buildings.
This level of hatred was obvious on the field.
Whenever the Ruhr Derby was held, the two teams would play very fiercely.
Bright soles, fierce fouls, red cards, fighting... these were all common occurrences.
Even if you were a newbie who had just joined, you would be quickly dragged into this battle!
That's right, this match was a war for both sides!
Xuan was still imagining what the derby would be like the next day.
It didn't take long for Klop to gather the entire team.
"Tomorrow is the derby. Schalke 04 is ranked seventh, but only six points higher than us!”
"If we can take down Sark, we can climb up a few ranks!”
"And…I believe everyone understands the significance of this match. This was no longer an ordinary competition, but a battle of honor for the club!”
"I hope that everyone will be in good condition tomorrow.”
"Next, the coaching staff has drawn up the starting lineup based on your recent training and performance.”
Hearing this, the players became nervous.
The starting lineup for important games marked his position in the manager's heart.
If they could perform well in the Ruhr derby, they would be able to secure their main position in the future!
Everyone listened carefully to Klopp read the list.
The goalkeeper was undoubtedly Weidenfeller. He was the team's vice-captain and Kloppe's most trusted goalkeeper.
The right-back captain of the rear defensive line, Kyle, the center-back partners, Subotic and Hummels, and the left-back, Schmelzer.
Midfielders Sven Bender and Nuri ?ahin partnered up.
On the left flank, Groskreuz stabilized himself as the main force with his active running.
On the right was Tinga, the side midfielder who was good at fighting.
Next was the important forward combination.
"Barrios, and…"
Xuan suddenly had a thought.
"And Xuan!"
Xuan was starting!
The Ormond teammates all turned to look at Xuan.
His two outstanding performances in a row seemed to have moved Klop, and his attitude in training was always positive.
No one objected to Xuan's starting lineup.
Even Grand Cross, who had always been prejudiced against Xuan, felt that Xuan was worthy of starting.
After Klop read out the name, he did not forget to encourage,"Chu, perform well."
At the same time, the Paraguay striker valdés 'heart sank.
He had a premonition.
Perhaps his position as the main striker would be lost…
