Chapter 84 The Narrow Path of Yuanjia
After leaving Zhang Xian's office, Zarno lowered his head and walked to the training ground without a sound.
Zarno was relieved to stay at Hoffenheim.
He's not a cheap guy who just expects a salary, why he insists on staying, because he feels Hoffenheim can take it to a higher level.
Now is not the time for him to leave.
There is always reluctance, no one wants to lose the position of the main force.
But he understands that he is not the type of player a head coach needs.
But he did not accept his fate. In this case, he became the type of player Hoffenheim needed.
For this, he approached Eric Scherf.
Scherf was doing bench press workouts, and the circumference of his chest and arm muscles looked really awful.
Zarno stood to the side. After finishing a few bench presses, Scherf stuffed the barbell into the slot, wiped his cheek with a towel, and said, "So, do you want to train strength?"
Zarno nodded and said: "Yes, I have to be stronger."
Scherf glanced at Zarno suspiciously and said: "You've always been a flexible player. Why don't you hone your strengths?"
Zarno pouted his face and said: "Because the club doesn't need that!"
Scherf sighed inwardly.
He knows that Koch is building a scavenger midfielder, and even Gray is thrown at himself by Koch, asking Scherf to put Gray on weight within a month.
The figure of Zarno is not suitable for this type of player, because the skeleton is too small.
However, Zarno seemed to insist on this.
"okay." Scherf is not a bad person either. He grinned and said, "Man, you must be prepared to fail!"
After speaking, the two began to practice.
Scherf is a good physical coach, he knows how to change Zarno.
From the beginning, he trained Zarno's core strength and tried to make him more adaptable to confrontation.
In fact, Scherf is also a player, he thinks about his future, the interceptor machine and the ball thief.
But Scherf's body was too heavy and he had more power, but he couldn't steal the ball with speed.
But Zarno was clearly a good fit. This person was only one meter 175 tall. He is considered a dwarf in football, but also represents a stable chassis.
And from the previous data, he can clearly sense that Zarno has excellent ball-prediction abilities, which might make Zarno the type of player who specializes in interception and stealing.
At the training ground, the Hoffenheim players are actively preparing for the new season.
Gray looked at the training ground, slightly dazed.
After the start of the season, some familiar faces have left.
For example, Morsi has gone to the German C team. Saarbrucken, he officially started his high-level league career.
At the same time, there are also some strange faces inside Hoffenheim, such as Mario and Wilach.
It was from this moment that Gray finally felt the cruelty of professional football.
Yes, if you can't keep up with the team, a lot of people will be expelled.
Zarno is not fit for the current lineup. He was almost asked to be moved by the club. Fortunately, Zarno was willing to stay in Hoffenheim on a reduced salary.
A group of old people left then, a group of newcomers settled down.
This is professional football!
All for better results, all for higher climbs, people gather for this.
Grey slapped on the shoulder. Turning around, Duran Bob stood to the side and smiled: "What do you see?"
Gray pointed forward.
Duran Bob glanced along the way and saw Wilach training for free kicks.
"How are you feeling?" Duran Bob asked.
Gray scratched his head and said: "It feels like I'm a child fighting it."
He also played the role of Hoffenheim's midfield commander, but compared to Wilach, he was much inferior.
Looking at Gray's depressed expression, Duran Bob smiled, "Those guys have been playing in an actual top league. Although they are not the top five leagues, they still far surpass you in terms of vision and ability. In fact, you can try Contact Him, I'm sure you can learn a lot from him."
Gray scratched his head and said, "But he doesn't say much."
"Then you'll bother him." After speaking, Duran Bob turned his head while pointing with his mouth.
Grey looks the other way, and he finds that Zarno turned into Mario's little tail, he chases and asks questions along the way, making some effort without time.
Although Mario does not want to talk to him, but sometimes he will give clues.
Looking at this scene, Duran Bob smiled and said: "Zarno moves faster than you, he's already met Mario."
Hearing those words, Gray could not help but take a deep breath and gather the courage to walk towards Wilach.
The day of the first round of training matches has arrived.
Led by general manager Conrad, Neildorf's first team arrived on time.
Starting at one o'clock in the afternoon, the official training game begins.
This is the time to test the combat power of Hoffenheim.
"Only, within 90 minutes, Hoffenheim shrank and stayed in the penalty area. It is difficult to pass the ball forward. A couple of passes forward were when Wilach backed off to pick up the ball, and it barely made a wave of attacking.
followed by a long and difficult defense.
After the whole game, it failed to produce a goal.
To this result, Zhang Xian and Conrad were dissatisfied.
Conrad was not satisfied, playing with a sixth-tier team, his players were made difficult.
after all, they were also a team in the north, and the game ended in a draw.
Zhang Xian was also very dissatisfied, but his dissatisfaction was that Hoffenheim could not find an opportunity to play the ball under the Neildorf attack, and he had to rely on the pick-up of the ball from Wilach at all times.
Azako, who often played beautiful passes last season, in this game is completely out of sight.
Facing a strong team in the northern region, Hoffenheim could still insist on not conceding for 90 minutes, which is already commendable.
Two days later, the Saarbrucken club came to participate in a training match.
If we say that the last round of the training game is quite balanced, then against the big teams Germany and C, Hoffenheim are immediately harassed and cried.
The line of defense that is usually proud of was immediately torn apart by Saarbrucken, let alone counterattacking, even the defense was unable to hold back.
The final score was 6:1.
Hoffenheim scored at the last minute, but no one thought it was an amusement, and the opposition clearly let that happen to give face.
After the match, general manager Saarbrucken Bester smiled and looked satisfied.
This guy seems intentional. After all, they were beaten by Hoffenheim in the German Cup last season and lost face.
This game is considered as revenge from us.
After two training matches, Hoffenheim's spirit became a little lethargic.
This was something that Zhang Xian did not want to see.
He also felt that he was a little shirking of the task, as if he had set up a team that was too strong. It could only be said that Hoffenheim's recent rapid development had left Zhang Xian somewhat swollen.
Thinking that the German C team is also a rookie, in the end, the novice is himself.
On August 1, the German Football Association finally released its sixth league schedule.
Due to the recent internal turmoil at the German Football Association, the schedule has been set a little slower, but it also has no impact on anything.
The promotion league will officially begin on the 9th. In the first game, Hoffenheim will play against the Turkish forces at home!
Seeing the name of this team, Zhang Xian's eyes emitted a strange light.
'This is the narrow road to Yuanjia! '
He clearly remembered that there were three teams in front of him before he stepped onto the football field.
Team meteor, Oddingson, and Turkis forces!
