Chapter 2 Schalke 04's new teammates
The next day, mainstream German media reported that Qin Tian joined Schalke 04. Although Qin Tian has not proved himself in the first-class league, he is only 19 years old after all, and his future potential is huge.
Schalke's local fans and media have given enough support to Qin Tian's joining and expressed their confidence and blessings. Although the team let go of Altentop and Lincoln in the transfer this season, some of the new players have already proved themselves in the Bundesliga and some have proved their super potential in other leagues. Judging from the past, the newly added personnel should reassure everyone a lot of discipline.
Although the team has many very young players, they are the best. Although young means lack of experience, young also means motivation and passion. The team ranked second in the last season, which made all fans who love Schalke unwilling to accept it. They look forward to the team's performance next season, and they also believe that Chairman Mr. Reiberg's transfer choice is not to ruin the team.
"Schalke's new season will surprise everyone!" Schalke's local "Western" is also full of confidence. After all, they have seriously studied the past results of these newly joined players.
After Qin Tian joined, head coach Sloka also specifically accepted an interview with the Western Conference newspaper. The team's summer recruitment ended in Qin Tian. He fully believed that the newly joined players would give the team enough help. Of course, the joining of new players also means that the team needs some running-in, and hope that fans can give the team enough confidence and support.
Of course, not all media are as optimistic as the media in the Schalke area. Some experts expressed concerns about Schalke's transfer choice, and some direct competitors criticized Schalke's transfer.
The "Laoqiz Review" in the Cotbus area is very rude, believing that Schalke 04 will not be as brilliant as last season again, thinking that it has recruited some so-called young and potential players, and this season is Schalke's Waterloo.
The Munich Times, a die-hard supporter of Bayern Munich, also joined in and commented on the various lines of Schalke 04.
Neuer has long made Munich media salivate in the goalkeeper position. They really want to find a successor after Kahn retires, and Neuer is the one they need.
On the defensive line, the Munich Times felt that Schalke had a strong attack and weak defense, and the bench depth was not enough, Schalke's weakness has always been Schalke's weakness, and other teams will continue to make a fuss about this. Perhaps at that time, it still needs to rely on Neuer's outstanding performance.
On the forward line, people have expectations for Schalke. Kuranyi has proved himself that when Levin Kurans from Denmark is in good shape, his speed is a nightmare for the Bundesliga team's defense line. Moreover, Asamoa is old and stronger, the German new generation Ozil deserves everyone's expectations.
As for the midfield, it was directly ignored by the media. The São Deutsches and Munich media views are consistent. Schalke seems to be full of talents, but such midfielders are mostly rookies, and the old bird Ernst performs unstable. The veteran Kobe Yashvili from Georgia is erratic. In addition, he is old, it is hard to imagine that such a midfield combination will not be beaten by his opponent. As for Qin Tian, perhaps the huge Eastern market behind him makes Reiberg salivate, Danish Super League? What league can be compared with the Bundesliga? With his small body, it is hard to imagine not being knocked away by the strong body of the Bundesliga players.
Schalke 04, well, "Injuries and Tender Birds Concentration Camp", I hope we can see them in the Bundesliga next season, Amen.
Qin Tian now lives near Schalke Base and was personally selected by Mr. Reiberg. The environment is very quiet and close to the stadium. It only took 20 minutes to run, which is very convenient.
During the past few days when I came to Schalke, Qin Tian maintained his good exercise habits every morning. He ran to the stadium early in the morning. After a simple running training, he ran back to the apartment from the stadium.
This kind of life is simple, monotonous but fulfilling, and Qin Tian is very satisfied with his state.
It was soon the day when Qin Tian first met with the entire team members.
Early in the morning, Qin Tian came to the stadium. It seemed that Qin Tian had the most relationship with every old man who was guarding the door. "Hi, it's so early! Old Musson."
"Good morning, Qin. A wonderful day!"
"Yes, a wonderful day."
I met Mr. Sloka again. I didn’t wear a formal dress like last time. Schalke’s sports jacket like Qin Tian didn’t look like a coach, but rather like a university history professor, full of books.
Sloka was very happy to see Qin Tian. In fact, he has been observing Qin Tian these days. Seeing that he was actively practicing every day without any discomfort or relaxing himself, he felt very satisfied. "Qin, I came very early. I will take you to meet your teammates."
"Okay, boss."
Follow Sloka's footsteps, cross the youth team's training ground and arrive at a large green field.
Seeing the head coach coming, the players who were already in groups of three or three on the court quickly gathered together, and there was silence.
"Okay, everyone, this is your new teammate. Qin Tian, who came from the Brondby transfer, is also the last one to come." Sloka looked like Maitreya Buddha was smiling.
"Hello everyone, my name is Qin Tian. You can call me Qin. From today on, we will be teammates. I am very happy to see you." Qin Tian smiled and his attitude was very sincere.
"Today, it's mainly for everyone to get to know each other. Well, it seems that everyone has relaxed themselves too much after a long vacation. What is that? Is it fat? Haha, it seems that there will be a devilish recovery training tomorrow." Sloka's smile was full of worrying meaning. After leaving first, he handed over the introduced task to the captain, and it is not appropriate to stay.
Kulanyi is a very competent captain. She is clear about Qin Tian’s report today. She smiled and nodded to Qin Tian, and took the initiative to extend her hand to Qin Tian, "Welcome, Qin Tian, just call me Kulanyi. Haha, when you come, I will be under less pressure."
Qin Tian knew that he was talking about transfer fees, "Haha, captain, I can't sleep these days. Then you can teach me some experience." The first impression of his teammates is very important. Qin Tian doesn't want to taste the feeling of being isolated by his teammates on the court.
Kulanyi smiled and began to introduce other teammates to Qin Tian, "This is the future German goal, Neuer."
"Hello, Neuer."
"Hello, Qin Tian", Neuer smiled, neither enthusiastic nor cold, which was related to his professional position and seemed very calm.
"This is, Rafinia."
"This is, Westman. Just like you, newcomer."
"Borden, Pandel, Ernst, Barrera."
"This is, Rakitic."
When introducing Rakitic, this Croatian young man looked at Qin Tian proudly, without stretching his hand, and seemed very unhappy with Qin Tian's large transfer.
Qin Tian looked at him with a smile on his face. The other teammates felt that Qin Tian's reaction was too calm.
"This is Larson, Levinclans, hehe, your half fellow villager."
"Haha, hello, Qin Tian, I've heard Michel say to you a long time ago. Welcome to Schalke 04. Take you around tonight." Lewen seems to be a prodigal son.
"Okay, Levin. Don't take Qin's bad luck, be careful Michelle k you. Hello, I'm Larson."
"Hello, Larson."
"This is Jones, from Frankfurt's new transfer."
"Hello, Jones."
"Hmph, kid, it's you who paid the team 8 million. Tsk tsk, your small body is worth 8 million?" Jones stretched out his hand, and the expression on his face was very contemptuous.
Frowning, "I want to give me some advice." Qin Tian smiled and stretched out his hand.
Kulanyi and others smiled and didn't say anything, watching Jones and Qin Tian's confrontation. After all, this is the stage that the newcomer has to go through, let alone Qin Tian's title of 8 million.
Jones was sure that his hand was not something that this young man in the East could withstand, and he used all his strength as soon as he started.
At first, Jones was smiling, but soon Jones felt that the power coming from the other party's hands was getting bigger and bigger, and he was almost unable to stand it, and there were more and more sweat beads on his forehead.
On the other hand, Qin Tian still smiled.
It was almost done, Qin Tian withdrew his hand, "Haha, OK, if you have more force, my hands will not be able to bear it. Brother Jones's hand is really strong."
Jones's face turned red. Knowing that Qin Tian gave him a step, he couldn't help but feel good about Qin Tian. He patted Qin Tian on the shoulder hard, "Haha, you're very good, welcome to join."
Everyone on the court looked at Qin Tian with interest, obviously this was a bit beyond their expectations. Unexpectedly, this young man who looked weak seemed to be nervous and chilled in the face of the provocation, and was not a young man.
In the end, the remaining veteran Kobe Yashvili had a warm expression, except for a little lonely look in his eyes. Due to the uncertainty of the position of the veteran last season and the performance was not very good, the team has now bought two young midfielders one after another, which is very obvious.
After the introduction, the players began to warm up under the leadership of captain Kulanyi. Laughs came from time to time on the court, and many teammates began to slowly accept Qin Tian's joining.
Calm days always end very quickly, and the first round of the Bundesliga is about to begin. Schalke's first game of the 07/08 season will begin on August 11 away game to Stuttgart.
"All teams that regard Schalke as the fastest-declined teams, even popular teams that are relegated, will be taught a lesson." The new season is about to start, and "Western" sings a cheering song for the team. However, after the first round ended two days later, "Western" was defeated by its own team, and Schalke 04 drew with his opponent 2:2.
In this game, Schalke, who was still in the lead in the first half, was hit twice in a row by his opponent in the second half, and felt that the team was beaten so hard that it was impossible to find North.
First, the midfield veteran Kobe Yashvili was passed by the opponent because of his slow turn, and then the opponent launched a quick counterattack and scored a goal first.
Then, near the end of the second half, veteran Kobe Yashvili was intercepted by his opponent because of his tight pass, and passed a long pass to find a loophole in Schalke's defense line, which was fatal.
Veteran Kobe Yashvili looked very lonely when he looked at the opponent celebrating on the court.
In this game, Qin Tian did not appear due to a cold, sat on the bench and watched the team's entire game. From leading to equalization, Qin Tian frowned.
After the game, the pre-match bold statement of "Western" was regarded as the biggest laughing stock by other media. Especially Dortmund's head coach Doretmond, who satirized Schalke 04's Chinese foreign aid? Where?
