Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 512 Lannick and Raul
The "Guardian" commented: "Tottenham have already shown their glory, and the arrival of Beckham has made them more champion-like. Such a strong team with firm belief in victory, as long as they If the luck is not too bad, then they will definitely be able to get what they want."

Even Ferguson, the Manchester United boss who has dominated the Premier League for 20 years, has to be convinced by Tottenham's superiority. He has always been the only one in the Premier League, even when Mourinho won the Premier League. He regards the opponent as the main competitor, but for Tottenham, he has to lament that "a great team has risen strongly"——

"We (Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal) are always used to comparing the strengths of each other before each season, trying to figure out which team is more likely to win the league. But we forget that the earth is always changing. It's turning around, nothing is set in stone and the four-team monopoly of the Premier League is going away."

"Yes, Tottenham have become a terrible opponent. They are young, full of vision for the future and tenacious fighting spirit. They exude a champion temperament that belongs to the strong from the inside out. Although they are reluctant to admit it, But the fact is that it is very difficult for us to stop Tottenham's aspirations this season. Of course, we will not give up. After all, the league is not over yet. As I said before, everything can happen. Although there is little hope , but Manchester United has never been a team that throws in the towel before it's over. We will continue to put pressure on them with one victory after another to let them know that winning the championship is not an easy task .”

Professor Arsene Wenger, the coach of Tottenham's arch rival Gunners Arsenal, also accepted an interview with the media after the game, "In the Premier League, we have only one opponent, and that is the Red Devils Manchester United. Although the opponent is terrifying, the arch enemy is even more shocking. , obviously, Tottenham is our sworn enemy. We have successfully suppressed them for nearly half a century, but they finally rose again. I don't know how they did it, but I still have to respect them. Although we are mortal enemies, Tottenham this season does have the qualifications to be respected by everyone. They have shown a championship temperament, which is a huge challenge for Arsenal! However, we do not I will not bow to them, even though they are very strong now, we are still the best team in North London!"

Tottenham coach Redknapp completely ignored the media and other teams in the Premier League who praised or questioned them. Self-confidence and "championship temperament" are full of domineering: "Our goal is very clear, and that is the league championship this season! Of course, it is not that we will lose our motivation to move forward after this season. For us, every The season is a new starting point, which makes us more motivated to pursue the starting point of a higher mountain!... No matter how difficult the future is, no matter how many huge obstacles there are in the future, we will not shrink back! We will go forward without fear, Because we are the greatest team in the world - Tottenham Hotspur!"

Ralph Rangnick has been very troubled recently, to be exact, he has been feeling upset since the results of the Champions League quarter-final draw came out, the reason is very simple, because Schalke 04 led by him will encounter The top spot in Group A comes from the Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur.

After "running away in anger" from Hoffenheim, the disheartened Rangnick originally planned to rest at home for a while, but the sincerity of his former club Schalke 04 finally moved him. 04 was booed by the fans and kicked off the coaching position. For the purpose of getting back up from where he fell, Rangnick logically replaced Magath and became the current helm of Schalke 04.

Although he is no longer coaching Hoffenheim, he already has a constant feeling of parting with the team he has been betting on for eight years. For him, in addition to betting energy on leading Schalke 04 , What he likes to do most on weekdays is to collect news about Hoffenheim and pay attention to their current situation.What made him very gratified was that although Hoffenheim lost many of their main players last season and their head coach resigned "irresponsibly" and left, their performance is still very good. Accumulating the top spot in the league is the best proof.

Rangnick also likes to know the current situation of his former disciples, such as Salihovic and Ibisevic who are still fighting for Hoffenheim, Gustavo who has become the absolute main force of Bayern Munich's midfielder, and Hofen Senegalese striker Demba Ba of Stuttgart, Heim's rival in the same city...Of course, Rangnick is most concerned about his most beloved disciple Mo Fei.

When Mo Fei just landed in the Premier League, Lannick was worried that Mo Fei would feel uncomfortable because of the change of football environment, which would lead to a decline in his competitive level. However, Mo Fei quickly dispelled his doubts with practical actions and continued to improve The ball and assists made Murphy the new favorite of British fans, which made Lannick feel at ease. He kept lamenting that no matter where a genius is, he would shine like gold. Murphy was born for football!
Various European leagues have been going on for more than half a season. Could it be that his crazy and magical performance in the Premier League and the Champions League made Rangnick very proud. After all, this talented player who is very likely to achieve great achievements in the future was trained by him.But now, Rangnick doesn't feel any joy. He only has one thought, which is nonsense. UEFA is too cheating, and their skill in making gimmicks is really at its peak.

Group A, one of the death groups in the UEFA Champions League, has already attracted the attention of fans and the media. The most attractive aspect of the match between Hoffenheim and Tottenham is the battle between the old and new clubs. Now, UEFA is In the knockout stage, there was another good show of "Master-Apprentice Showdown", which was really shameless enough.
.
In fact, Rangnick doesn't care who the opponent is in the quarter-finals. With Schalke 04's current strength and the club's financial situation, they have already completed the goal of this season's Champions League competition. If they can go one step further, it is natural It's best, but if you are eliminated, it can only be taken for granted.

Of course, any good head coach wants to create impossible miracles, and the same is true for Rangnick, who has great ambitions, but what makes him depressed is that their knockout opponent turned out to be Tottenham, his most beloved disciple. led by the team.This made him feel extremely entangled.

How is Mo Fei's ability? Rangnick is very clear. This is definitely a decisive player who can change the outcome of a normal game. His insight and dominance of the game can be said to be second to none in today's football. In his opinion, Even C. Ronaldo and Messi, who are the hottest and most famous in football today, are inferior to Murphy in this point. When Murphy reaches their age and enters his peak period, it will definitely be a nightmare for any team. Although the current Could it have already made the whole of Europe tremble.

Schalke 04 wants to gain an advantage in this duel, how to prevent Mo Fei and prevent him from playing will be the top priority.As Murphy's "professional mentor", Lannick is very aware of any of Murphy's characteristics, such as fast speed, good technique, excellent overall situation view, excellent physical confrontation ability, and good running ability. He can be seen in almost every corner of the audience. Silhouette, even at the end of the game, if there is still someone who can be energetic on the court, then no need to ask, that person must be Could it be that his physical fitness is so good that it is not like a human being...

Lannick finally understood the truth of "knowing is one thing, but being able to do it is another matter". The current situation is like this for him. He sorted out all the characteristics of Mo Fei, but He was shocked to find that although he knew Mo Fei's every habit and characteristic thoroughly, he was not fully sure about how to carry out targeted defense, because he found that he could not find Mo Fei's weakness at all.

If he was in Hoffenheim, Rangnick would definitely have dreamed of this situation, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. After all, is it possible that such a hard-working player who can help the team break through the city is the dream of any head coach , but now, Lannik can only smile wryly.

If he can make a choice, he would rather meet a giant team like Real Madrid than face Tottenham where Murphy is. Today Tottenham is too strong, there are no obvious gaps in both offense and defense, and Mo Fei is another player who needs to worry about himself all the time. He doesn't want to be driven crazy by Mo Fei within 10 minutes.He is very clear that it is hopeless for Schalke 04 to defeat the hot Tottenham this time and reach the quarter-finals, unless the collective state of the Tottenham players plummets, or God favors Schalke 04 and let the opponent All of his shots were missed.

Of course, Rangnick is not all troubled. He also has something to be thankful for, that is, fortunately Tottenham is the first place in Group A, otherwise Schalke 04 would have to face Hoffenheim.If that were the case, Lannick didn't know if he would be more entangled. One disciple gave him such a headache. If he faced a group of disciples from his former club, he might collapse before the match even started...

"nice shot!"

"Nice top, Gonzalez!"

"Ha, Gonzalez, you're in really good shape!"

Suddenly there was a burst of loud applause from the huge Gelsenkirchen stadium. The fans watching outside the stadium and the players on the field all applauded a handsome and delicate player with long hair.And this agile player scored a wonderful header lob in the team match just now. At this moment, he is wiping the sweat off his face with a smile on his face, while constantly nodding to his teammates , to signal them to continue training seriously.

Rangnick, who was standing on the sidelines, was also interrupted by the burst of applause. Seeing that the resolute Raul was leading the players to concentrate on training, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Raul Gonzalez can be regarded as the biggest star of this "Shakhtar" team at present. He used to be the banner figure of Real Madrid, a superstar who has attracted the attention of the whole world, and even the most famous player in the UEFA Champions League since its inception. The top scorer, he has scored 73 goals in the Champions League, which is the best.

Rangnick never thought that he would be lucky enough to coach such a legendary superstar in his coaching career. After all, the opponent's name is too big, and such players often only belong to those real super giants.Rangnick is very grateful to one person, that is his predecessor Magath, it is his persistence and sincerity that finally brought the old Spanish golden boy to Gelsenkirchen.
