Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 227 Hao Junmin

Schalke 04's record in the league this season is not outstanding, ranking sixth in the league with only 37 points.However, the points gap between the third and fifth places is not that big, just a few points.Although the league title is hopeless, they still have a chance to qualify for the European War next season.On the other hand, Schalke 04 performed very well in the DFB-Pokal, which is the only honor they can strive for this season. , Advance to the semi-finals with your head held high.

Today's Schalke 04 team has a large number of outstanding players, such as Numanel Neuer, Christopher Metzelder, Lucas Schmitz and others are the main players of the German national team. And most of the other players are the pillars of each national team.The main reason for their unstable performance this season is that there was a brief confusion at the top of the club at the beginning of the season and the lack of tacit cooperation between the players. However, after half a season of running-in, Schalke 04 has gradually been on the right track After the winter break, he used a three-game winning streak to squeeze his ranking into the top six in the standings.

Schalke 04's current state is too hot.They came to the Rhine-Neckar Stadium in such a way as to take three points from here.It can be said that this is a very headache opponent.

But Hoffenheim is not afraid, they have a psychological advantage against Shaker 04-since they were able to easily take away three points at the Gelkirchen Stadium in the first half of the season, now they have returned to their home court and won Opponents are not a problem either.Their state is not worse than any team, you must know that Bayern Munich is their defeat!Is Schalke 04 stronger than Bayern?the answer is negative!So they are full of confidence in the victory of the game.

Obasi said in an interview with reporters before the game: "Shaker 04 has been in a good state recently, and we also know that the opponent is one of the best teams in the Bundesliga, but we are not afraid and defeated Bayern Munich, the most ferocious team. After the blocker, the team's confidence has reached its peak. I believe we can successfully defeat the opponent at home and get three points!"

The Hoffenheim captain Salihovic, who returned from injury, also expressed his views: "I am very happy to be able to make a smooth comeback before this game. I don't want to mess up my comeback debut. Yes, we must This is the Rhine-Neckar Stadium, this is our territory! No matter how good the team is here, it will not take advantage of any advantages. More importantly, we have to support the lifted coach Rangnick Send a gift of blessing. Victory is the best gift!"

Even Simunić, who has always been honest and dull, accepted an interview with the "Rheinische Zeitung" before the game. He said: "This game is very important to us. Ralph and Sead need this gift. At the same time , Mo’s country’s most solemn Spring Festival is also today, and we want to send him the most sincere blessings. Therefore, we have enough reasons to win this game.”

For Schalke 04, Mo Fei actually doesn't know much.In fact, he doesn't know much about every team in the Bundesliga. After all, he has only been in Germany for more than half a year, and it is very difficult to get familiar with every opponent.All the information about the opponent is obtained in the meeting held by the coaching staff before the game. Of course, Mo Fei will go home and study the opponent's game video by himself.This is his magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

Through the research of the last match and the video, Mo Fei found that Schalke 04 belongs to the same type of team as Hoffenheim in a sense. They insist on offensive football and the game is full of passion.However, the shortcomings are also obvious. The performance of this team is extremely unstable. When the state is not good, it can be killed by the bottom team. deflated.This is a typical "nerve knife" team.

Thinking of this, Mo Fei couldn't help but feel a little funny. It seems that many Bundesliga teams have this old problem. For example, teams like Werder Bremen and Mainz 04 always block and kill people when they play well. , When the state is not good, he can be beaten to the ground by weak teams.Even last season's Hoffenheim was like this, and the results were always ups and downs.Now here comes another Schalke 04.This should be regarded as a major feature of the Bundesliga team, and they all have a bit of a "nervous knife" trait.

But Mo Fei's attention is more focused on a Chinese player named Hao Junmin in the Schalke 04 team.Hao Junmin joined Schalke 80 from Tianjin Master Kang for 04 euros during this winter break. It is said that Schalke 04 coach Magath is very optimistic about him and believes that his ability is fully qualified to play in the Bundesliga. foothold.

This also made the fans in China very happy. The Bundesliga has already had such a successful precedent, and now there is another Chinese player. Doesn't this indicate that Chinese football is about to revive?They didn't expect that Huaxia has never lacked excellent players, what is lacking is the soil suitable for the growth of players.No matter how good a single player is, he can't save the dark Chinese football.

After Mo Fei returned to Germany, he also learned that a Chinese compatriot had landed in the Bundesliga, but he was unable to see him due to various reasons.This time, we just took advantage of the opportunity of the confrontation between the two teams to get together with each other well. After all, we are all Chinese, so naturally we should take care of each other in a foreign country.

Speaking of which, Mo Fei and Hao Junmin are still old acquaintances. When he was still playing for Sichuan Quanxing, Mo Fei had played against Tianjin Master Kang where the other party was.At that time, this player who was not tall but had good skills and awareness left a deep impression on him.Although Sichuan Quanxing defeated the opponent by a big score in that game, Mo Fei still has a good impression of Hao Junmin, a player who insists on not giving up.It doesn't matter if you are not as strong as your opponent, if you don't even have the courage to fight, that's the most sad thing!
But later Mofei was spotted by Hoffenheim and joined at lightning speed, after which there was no news of Hao Junmin.Unexpectedly, the opponent also joined Schalke 04 after a year.Hao Junmin is Murphy's "big brother" in terms of age and debut time, but when it comes to the experience of working hard abroad, Murphy can be regarded as the opponent's "senior".

Could it be that he made up his mind that he must "get close" to the opponent during the game, and teach the opponent his experience in the German league by precept and deed.

At 04:[-] p.m. German time, Hoffenheim and Schalke [-] appeared at the Rhein-Neckar Stadium on time.The game will be played at [-]:[-], and the players on both sides are doing some pre-match pre-match exercises.

According to the list of players submitted by both sides before the game, Hoffenheim still insisted on their usual 433 attacking formation, the goalkeeper No. 1 Hildebrand, the four defenders were No. Comper, No. 2 Josip Simunic, No. 5 Dario Serna; the three midfielders are single midfielder No. 3 Gustavo, left midfielder No. 13 Murphy, captain No. 21 Sally Horovich; the three forwards are No. 77 Ibisevic, No. 23 Obasi and No. 19 Demba Ba.

Facing the well-formed Schalke 04, Hoffenheim still deployed such an attacking formation, not only because this is their consistent style, but also to show their confidence in winning the game.They just want to destroy any team's defense with the most violent offense.

Schalke 04's starting lineup is: goalkeeper Neuer; defenders Uchida Atsuto, Metzelder, Prestang, Sarpe; midfielders Hao Junmin, Jurado, Schmitz and Jones; The first forwards are Huntelaar and Peruvian striker Farfan.

This is a 442 formation with a balanced offense and defense. Even though they are in good form recently, Schalke 04 also understands that Hoffenheim's performance this season is extremely stable, even a little abnormally stable.When they faced a strong enemy, they still chose a more secure formation.

After knowing the opponent's lineup, it is inevitable that he will be a little excited. Hao Junmin's starting game made his wish of playing against his compatriots not come true, and the two are still facing each other—he is a left midfielder, and the opponent is a right midfielder. A fierce collision.

Mo Fei planned to go out of the player tunnel to chat with each other now, anyway, there was still a while before the start of the game.However, Mo Fei who appeared on the court was obviously stunned. He found that today's Rhein-Neckar Stadium is different from usual. Although it was still full, many fans played "Welcome back, La Ralph!", "We need you, Ralph!" huge banners.

If that's the case, wouldn't you be stupefied? After all, today is the first on-site command game after head coach Rangnick lifted the ban. It is normal for fans to prepare celebration slogans for him.

To Mo Fei's surprise, he saw more words "Mo, Happy Chinese New Year!", "You will never be alone, we are with you!", "Mo, we are your relatives!" flying over the stands. Banner, what moved him even more was that the fans in the north stands were not wearing the blue Hoffenheim home jerseys today, but all the fiery red jerseys of the China National Team. There was no number on the back of the jerseys, but there was a huge Name: Mo!

They are local residents of Hoffenheim, and they are the most loyal fans who followed Hoffenheim all the way from the bottom of the amateur league. They rendered the whole stand into a sea of ​​red, constantly rising and falling.A huge and bright red five-star red flag fluttered over the stands: Mo, happy Chinese New Year!Although you did not join the German team, you will always be our family!

Listening to the fans shouting "Happy Chinese New Year" in Chinese in a uniform and jerky tone, Mo Fei couldn't help but tears flickered in his eyes.

"Thank you, thank you! My relatives!" Mo Fei bowed deeply to all the fans.

"It seems that you are very popular with the fans here! Tsk tsk, this scene is really exciting..."

Just when Mo Fei was moved and waved to the fans to thank him, a loud voice sounded behind him.Mo Fei turned his head in surprise, only to see a young man with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair smiling at him.

"Hi, I'm Hao Junmin."

This young man with a sunny smile like a big boy next door ignored Mo Fei's surprise, and slowly extended his right hand to him.
