Chapter 1 Blue first experience
Sitting on the plane heading to Schalke, Qin Tian looked through some information about Schalke 04 this season that Jessica obtained from coach Sloka.
Some people say that players do what they do when reading the team’s information? This should be the coach’s business. In fact, it is not right. Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will be invincible in every battle. Being familiar with your teammates can also help you better integrate into the team.
After the 06/07 season, the team transferred four players, Lincoln, Altentop, Hogland and Delula. Originally, Qin Tian did not need to pay attention to the players, but this time, two main midfielders transferred from the team. What they transferred were what Qin Tian needed to know and would avoid in the future.
One of them was Lincoln, who joined the team in 2004 and wore the team's No. 10 jersey and was trained by the team as the core. There is no doubt that Lincoln was very successful in the first season, but then he pulled the top in the locker room and became a hidden bomb for the team. The most obvious thing was that in a game against Leverkusen, the team lost the game, and he pushed others and changed to a ban. It can be seen that this is an immature player. So once his condition in the game declines, he becomes the target of the opponent's focus of breakthroughs, from defense to offense, he can easily cross Schalke 04's entire midfield to form a breakthrough. For such a player who is already completely unsuitable for the team, it is wise to let him leave.
Another midfielder is Altentop. Qin Tian thinks his departure is a loss for the team, and his arrival should be the replacement of his original position. Altentop, a player with a tough style, good offense and defense, and his ability to shoot in a long shot is even more amazing. It seems that he can better replace Lincoln in the midfield to complete the role of running up and down in the midfield. Such a person who was introduced for 1.8 million euros and transferred to his competitors at the end of 0 yuan is a huge regret.
Hogland's fourth central defender, with Westman's arrival, his blue plot ended here. He will fight in the second division next season, which is not a bad choice for him. After all, the second division is faster on offense and defense and more concerned with physical confrontation.
A once optimistic superstar, Delula, fell into a Greek life next season, a typical example of hurting Zhongyong. Seeing the fall of such a young player, Qin Tian secretly warned himself to be vigilant and maintain a good competitive state.
In addition to using these players who have left, Qin Tian has more regrets, because they no longer put pressure on him, but the next few players who have transferred directly have important significance for Qin Tian's development.
Westman joined the back line, an outstanding product of Fiat youth training camp. He has a very good physical condition and only missed two games in two years. It can be seen that he not only performed well in the central defender position, but his early career in the wing and back health made his defensive experience richer.
Abel was signed for free, with average ability and basically no assists. It seems to have a little similar effect to Bonella. It should be used by the team to sign to deepen the depth of the bench. After all, Schalke 04 is now full of wounded soldiers.
Schalke 04 has changed a lot in the midfield. In addition to Qin Tian, three players have joined.
Asauvag, who transferred from Mainz, a fatal knee injury dimmed his starlight a lot. He was mainly used as a main substitute and did not pose any threat to Qin Tian.
Jones, the panacea for the midfield. He was originally the main striker of the former German U21 and Frankfurt. But I don’t know if Coach Vonkel was unique and used him as a means of attacking in the middle. Now he came to Schalke 04 to recruit him more as an important supplement. After all, he can play many positions. There are often problems with his physical condition when it comes to key issues. How to get rid of the medicine jar is his essential task.
Rakitic, known as Lincoln's successor, is Qin Tian's main competitor. Although he is not old, through the accumulation of games and time, who can take care of him and not explode in the future? As a super star in Switzerland, he will definitely be a member of the team's main lineup next season.
Qin Tian thought carefully and said that if nothing unexpected happens, Schalke's main lineup in the midfield of 04 next season should be composed of Ernst, Rakitic, Barrera and Qin Tian.
Qin Tian did not give priority to other lines. Most of the people closely related to him were the midfield and forward lines.
Ernst, who is on the sidelines of the midfield, has changed from an organizational midfielder to a practical team player now. If Marc Lailer-style midfielder is compared to a blue-collar midfielder and Pirlo-style midfielder is compared to a white-collar midfielder, Ernst is like a gray-collar midfielder. He has outstanding defense and is good at long-term passes to launch attacks, and has a strong power in front insertion.
Rakitic’s more about controlling the ball than passing the ball. It should be said that with Qin Tian’s addition, it will be a complementary role.
Barrera on the right side is good at passing the ball, and her position is between the forward and the winger. Although her speed is not as fast as Jorgensen in Brondby, she has a good sense of the ball.
In short, with Qin Tian joining the team's Schalke 04's midfielder, he is indeed better than before in terms of strength.
Kulanyi, who is old and stronger on the forward line, is the absolute main force. Kulanyi, who is under the brand of 7 million, performed abnormally in his first season (of course he doesn't have to worry about it now, Qin Tian, 8 million, has come), and even lost the opportunity to represent the national team. However, this lack of games has made Kulanyi truly mature, from a player to a warrior. Some fans said that he started from scratch and used his feet when he was old.
Another striker, Levinclans, does start very quickly, but his advantage is not that obvious when facing a speed guard. He is very poor at adjusting his condition, and his main position is a bit precarious.
As for other strikers, Asamoa has strong individual skills, but she is old after all; Larson is the first to recover from injury; Ozil has a good life at his feet, but his shooting ability needs to be strengthened.
In general, Qin Tian's joining has intensified the competition in the team's midfield, but fortunately, the team's midfielders are mostly all-rounders, so opportunities and challenges coexist.
Qin Tian closed the information, leaned his head on the seat, and slowly closed his eyes. Bundesliga, I'm here. Qin Tian's mouth still had a confident smile.
Before Schalke and the fans met, Qin Tian needed to choose his jersey number. The club originally suggested that Qin Tian choose No. 10, but Qin Tian still likes No. 27, after all, this has a special meaning for him.
Moreover, giving up No. 10 can also appropriately improve the problem of showing his current sharpness in the team. After all, the net worth of 8 million is not a small amount for the small club.
When Qin Tian saw the Schalke home jersey with No. 27 printed on it, blue pants, Qin Tian suddenly fell in love with this very melancholy and sentimental color, a color that only Schalke 04 can fully express her breath.
When Qin Tian was wearing a blue robe No. 27, he entered the Aoyou Schalke Stadium with Chairman Reiberg, about 700 blue fans at the scene burst into warm applause. For a Bundesliga rookie like himself, Qin Tian was surprised and satisfied with this result.
"Xiaotian, it seems that your popularity is not as bad as you imagined." Reiberg was very satisfied with the number of fans present today. After all, he was quite worried before the start.
"Chairman, it doesn't matter if there are fewer people. I will prove myself, but the fans here are very enthusiastic at present, and I like it."
"Haha, I like your confidence. I believe that after you thoroughly understand Schalke 04, you will love this place more and more, I promise."
After Chairman Reiberg introduced Qin Tian, Qin Tian began to show his jerseys, posing in various positions for everyone to take photos, and then performed like a monkey-like ball-sliding performance. "I am really like a monkey." Qin Tian was very unhappy with these processes, and suddenly missed the years when he joined Bronderby in a low-key manner. (It's hard to serve)
After meeting the fans, he also had to attend the team's press conference prepared by the team for Qin Tian. This was a time to test the players' off-field ability. Reiberg had never seen Qin Tian deal with the media scene, so he was still a little worried.
"Hello, Qin Tian welcomes Schalke 04. Is it the difference between you and Danshe?" The first reporter asked not sharply.
"The Bundesliga is already a first-class league, and Danish Super League is working hard to become a member of the first-class team." Qin Tian's answer is a bit surprising. There is no way to please the Bundesliga, but it does not belittle his former team.
"Which Bundesliga team do you like the most? I heard that the first person to contact you was Bayern. Is that true? Then why did you choose Schalke in the end?" This question was a bit unfriendly, and Reiberg, who was standing beside him, frowned.
"Haha, I don't know where you got the news. As far as I know from the agent, Bayern's Honeys doesn't seem to know where I play." There was a burst of laughter at the scene, "As for which team I like the most, there is no doubt that I like blue, I like Schalke 04."
"Baopao", there was applause at the scene. The old man Reiberg was very happy, and the young man performed very well.
"Can you ask what your goal is?"
"Help the team win the championship they deserve." Qin Tian said this, with awesome momentum, and then he looked full of smiles. "Of course I know that my 8 million yuan worth is a big deal in the team's transfer history. Many people want to see my jokes. If I perform poorly, I will be too sorry for Chairman Reiberg every euro." After Qin Tian said that, he spread his hands towards Reiberg.
Hahaha, the reporters think this young man from the East is very interesting. Let’s not talk about his skills, at least he is not a rookie in the media. As for his strength, he will soon be tested in the Bundesliga.
"I did a good job, I can't tell that I am a rookie at all, Qin Tian." Reiberg was very satisfied with Qin Tian's performance on the news site, with both offense and defense, and had a good interaction.
"Thank you, Chairman. But I think these are all false. The key is my performance on the field. Haha. I think if I don't score goals and assists and can't lead the team to win, not only will you be under great pressure, but the fans will also turn the applause into booing."
"Very good, Qin Tian. You know very well. I think my choice is right. I really hope to see the moment our team stands on the highest podium."
