Chapter 34 Amazing Bundesliga Start!

Perhaps most Huaguo fans' understanding of Wolfsburg began after Zhang Xizhe landed in the Bundesliga.

This football club is located in northwestern Germany.

Founded in 1945, perhaps compared with teams with a long history, it was established relatively late.

But since the start of the 1997 season, Wolfsburg has remained in the Bundesliga and has never been relegated.

After Volkswagen invested 90% of the shares in Wolfsburg in 2001, Wolfsburg's seats in the Bundesliga have maintained an upward trend.

In the 08-09 season, it was a sudden rise and won the Bundesliga championship.

After a short period of glory, Wolfsburg fell rapidly and almost fell into the relegation zone in the second season.

In the next few seasons, Wolfsburg's performance has been unstable. Sometimes they can compete for the championship, and sometimes they fight for relegation.

So at the beginning of this season, Wolfsburg executives made drastic changes to Wolfsburg after learning from the pain.

....

August 25th

The public arena, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people, is already full of fans.

Fans from far away in China also gathered around the TV to watch this game.

at this time.

The official commentator of the Bundesliga introduced the lineups of the two sides before the game.

Wolfsburg was not intimidated by Schalke 04's results last season, and set up a 433 formation, preparing for a fierce battle with Schalke 04.

New aids Weghorst and Roussillon also started.

Perhaps it is Tedesco's more pragmatic style, while Schalke 04 has a 3421 formation.

The goalkeeper is Schalke veteran Ralph Fairman.

The back line is composed of Nastaski, Naldo, Sharif Sane

The midfield line is extremely thick, and Baba, Zelda, McKenney, and Caligiuri form a defensive midfielder.

Amin Ali and Makhut form the core of the offense.

The last single arrow is Lin Chen!

I was a little surprised when the commentator pronounced Lin Chen's name.

"Tedesco actually chose to put Burgstaller on the bench and choose Lin Chen as the team's starting center?!"

Perhaps it was worried that the fans would not know who Lin Chen was, so the commentator even made a special explanation.

"Lin Chen moved from Castilla, Real Madrid's second team to Schalke 04 this summer."

"Before that, Lin Chen scored a total of more than 30 goals in eight games in West Division B!"

"But it's a pity that in Schalke 04's pre-season warm-up match, this young Chinese player didn't have much chance to play."

After all, the narrator shook his head with some regret, obviously thinking that Tedesco's choice was unwise.

I don't know that the commentator thinks this way, and Schalke 04 fans can't understand Tedesco's approach.

"Are you kidding me? I've never heard of this Lin Chen!"

"It looks like a youth player, which is too young."

"Can he withstand the defensive pressure at the Bundesliga level? Will Tedesco take too many risks?"

...

On German social media, Wolfsburg fans were a little surprised by Lin Chen's appearance.

Since Lin Chen came to the team on loan, almost no Wolfsburg fans knew that the team still had Lin Chen.

Even after the warm-up match.

Although Lin Chen has played, but the impression is not deep.

…

Inside the player tunnel.

Lin Chen was also a little surprised by the start of this game.

When the roster was announced yesterday, Lin Chen was included in the starting roster, and the veteran Burgstaller could only be used as his substitute.

Looking at the field ahead.

Lin Chen felt a little excited.

Finally set foot on the stadium of the five major leagues.

At this time.

The system suddenly releases tasks.

'System task: Bundesliga first win! '

Lin Chen couldn't help but feel proud, and he is bound to win this game!

…

As the players on both sides stand still.

The game officially started, with Schalke 04 taking the lead.

After the game started, Schalke 04 was not in a hurry to attack, but slowly turned the ball to seek opportunities.

But Wolfsburg didn't give Schalke a chance to play 'grand ball', so all the players pressed on and started to press.

The fifth minute of the game.

After Wolfsburg midfielder Alexander-Arnold made a stealing error, McKennie saw a large space behind him.

Then McKenney made a straight pass and found Mark Ut who was advancing.

Roussillon hurriedly stepped forward to block, and Macwut had to rush along the sideline.

The ball came near the corner flag in an instant.

When Makeut looked up to observe his teammates, Lin Chen was already standing in the penalty area and beckoning to him.

Makeut immediately sent a low cross.

Lin Chen then accelerated to get rid of the opponent's defender's marking and received the ball on the edge of the small penalty area.

Rubbing the ball non-stop, the ball passed by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Castels.

This is a goal?

The Wolfsburg players couldn't believe it, and the fans at the scene were also stunned.

"Schalke 04 took their chance and scored a goal in less than five minutes."

The narrator explained with due diligence.

"This attack was originally not a threat, but Lin Chen's shot is of extremely high quality!"

courtside.

Head coach Tedesco raised his arms to celebrate Lin Chen's goal.

And Tedesco didn't expect Lin Chen to rewrite the score so easily.
