Chapter 354: Elton in the Shadows (17

The first round of the new Bundesliga season made the media very excited.

Werder Bremen will play Schalke 04 at home.

Werder Bremen were league champions last season. Schalke 04 has been recruiting for a long time, hoping to be the second Werder Bremen and snatch the title from Bayern Munich.

They brought in striker Elton and neutral centre-back Kolstadzic from the defending champions.

This is not only to strengthen its own strength, but also to weaken the strength of rival Werder Bremen.

Schalke 04 has invested a lot over the years, and even built the Schalke Stadium, which is the top home stadium in Europe.

With such a beautiful course, it is natural that a championship trophy is needed to add to the glory.

Therefore, the match between Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 originally had a strong smell of gunpowder, and the original two Werder Bremen players now turned Schalke 04, which made this game even more gimmicky.

Before the match against Werder Bremen, Schalke 04's Gelsenkirchen media were hyping the match.

The theme they chose for this game was "Revenge of the 'Ball Lightning'".

“…… In an interview, Elton said he never got the respect he deserved at Werder Bremen last season...... 'They used me when they needed me. When they don't need me, they kick me away. I didn't feel respected in my last season at Werder Bremen...... I'm very happy to be here at Schalke 04, it's an ambitious team and I hope to be able to pass on my championship experience to others in the team and help the team win ......the title.'"

The media in Gelsenkirchen were all about the feud between Elton and Werder Bremen.

Of course, as a position similar to Elton, the glory of the technical characteristics and Elton is also highly overlapped, and naturally the lying gun is indispensable.

"When Elton was at Werder Bremen, he completely lost his place because of the sudden loan loan. Young's performance also made Schaaf determined to abandon Elton. So now after Schalke 04, what sparks will be generated by the first collision between Elton and Rong? ”

"It is said that Elton and Rong did not have a very good relationship when they were in Werder Bremen. Now he finally has a chance to get revenge by defeating Rong in front of Shaf, and then telling Shaff what a huge mistake it was to give him up! ”

"Wing will face Elton's challenge in this game, and if he is to defend his position and reputation last season, he will have to rise to Elton's challenge head-on and beat him......"

※※※

"What does this have to do with me?" After listening to the media reports relayed by Sun Fengyang, Rongguang spread his hands and said.

"In fact, you did steal Elton's main position. Without you, even if Elton announced his move to Schalke 04 in advance, Schaff might have to use the Brazilian for the sake of the team's results......"

"That only shows that I am stronger than him." Rongguang shook his head: "These hypes are really boring, in fact, my opinion of Elton is not so bad." ”

Because Elton said he was going to give him money, he really gave him money. His glory loves this kind of man who keeps his word!

So since that incident, Glory's impression of Elton has changed.

Elton may still have a problem with him, but Glory doesn't have those ideas.

"I'm not going to let him beat me, though!"

The glory of the last revealed his true thoughts - he would not give in easily.

Debora and Sun Fengyang glanced at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes.

"I don't have any contradictions with Elton." After training, Rong Guang was surrounded by reporters, all concerned about him and Elton.

"But you and he seemed to be indifferent when you were in Werder Bremen?" There was also a reporter who asked unwillingly.

"That just means that I'm not friends with him. Is it not a friend or an enemy? I don't think so. ”

Glory copes with aplomb.

Faced with the dripping glory of answers, there is nothing journalists can do.

If you want to pick out the fire on the side of Glory, it seems to be quite rare, then go to Elton. Elton is notoriously loud-mouthed in the Bundesliga.

This is evident from his allegiance to Schalke 04 while still playing for Werder Bremen.

Their image Elton must not mind spewing glory.

But when they found Elton, Elton's answer surprised everyone.

"Rong? He and I really weren't friends. Elton said solemnly. But it's not an enemy either. ”

Elton turned out not to cooperate, which disappointed many media outlets.

Unexpectedly, this big mouth was tight-lipped like a bottle......

You must know that before Elton arrived at Schalke 04, he had already given the new club a headache because of his mouth.

Because Schalke 04 missed out on the UEFA Cup, he openly stated that he was disappointed and would not play in the International Toto Cup.

"It's either the League Cup or nothing. For me, the Toto Cup is meaningless, the tournament is nothing but shortcomings – shortened holidays, boring competitions...... "In Elton's opinion, the holidays are much more sacred than the Toto Cup. "My contract with Bremen ends on June 30 and then it's easy to go back to Brazil for a four-week holiday. The Toto Cup has nothing to do with me. ”

When he said this, he did not communicate with Schalke 04's head coach Heynckes at all.

Not only that, but a week ago he had criticized the city of Gelsenkirchen, where the Schalke 04 club is located, for being so ugly that he still intends to live in Bremen......

At that time, Elton had not even been to Schalke 04, and everyone had already seen his prestige as a trouble maker.

So in a sense, the reason why Alofs did not renew his contract with Elton was naturally because he wanted to send this plague god away......

Schalke 04 was able to be a pick-up man, he was so happy that the transfer fee could be given away for free without being entangled! also bought one get one free, and in order to get Elton away, he also took a Kolstadzic.

On the issue of glory, Elton did not cooperate with the media, but on the topic of Werder Bremen and Alofs and Scharf, Elton's big mouth began to spray again.

“…… When I was negotiating a contract extension with Werder Bremen, the club's top brass always said that Werder Bremen had no money, when in fact they were able to give Klose three million euros a year, and they just shook their heads at me. When they talked to me about renewing my contract, I asked for much less than that, and they didn't say yes. Now I understand that they didn't have the sincerity to keep me at all! ”

Werder Bremen paid a transfer fee of five million euros to sign Klose, while also offering Klose an annual salary of three million euros.

This is the highest salary in the Werder Bremen team - if Glory is a player they bought out, it is estimated that Glory would have been the first highest salary long ago. Now, the annual salary of one million euros received by Rongguang is a bit not enough in front of Klose.

This time Glory didn't lie down, but his new teammate Klose lay down and was beaten into a sieve......

Elton's resentment towards Werder Bremen is very deep, so everyone believes that he will play beyond the norm against Werder Bremen and help Schalke 04 defeat Werder Bremen.

Objectively speaking, this is indeed a contest between Elton and Glory.

Schalke 04 For the game to win, Elton's excellent performance is essential.

Werder Bremen is going to win, and it also depends on the performance of Glory.

So there's a reason why the media pits Glory against Elton.

It's a matchup between two teams fighting for the league title, and a duel between two men whose fates are entangled.

※※※

At the Weser Stadium, when Elton came out, the 40,000 Werder Bremen fans in the stadium "welcomed" Elton with a uniform loud boo.

Elton pursed his lips tightly in the boos, looking stubborn.

Amid the boos, Glory sneaked a glance at Elton and saw that he had no expression on his face.

It's really embarrassing.

Just three months ago, when he helped Werder Bremen to the final of the German Cup, and when he scored in the "Northern Derby" against Bayern Munich to help them win, his name was still ringing in the stands of the stadium.

Everyone also affectionately calls him "Tony".

And now, all that awaits him is boos.

Of course, it's not the Werder Bremen fans who blame it. Mainly Elton's stinky mouth.

He attacked Werder Bremen before the game, which made the fans of Werder Bremen feel the same hatred, and it was very unpleasant to see him.

Now it's natural to entertain him with boos.

※※※

Schalke 04's head coach Heynckes couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene on the sidelines.

Although Elton's big mouth has caused him a lot of trouble, at the same time, it also means that he has a tough personality.

Now that Werder Bremen fans are treating him like this, what will he do?

Surely they will be desperate to perform well in the game and try to score a goal to help Schalke 04 beat Werder Bremen.

That's what Heynckes wanted to see.

Now that we have a player who can compete with the speed of Glory, Heynckes believes that this time, his team will not be at a disadvantage - Heynckes probably wouldn't have thought that way if he had known the story of Glory and Elton running in the team......

When the game started, Elton was really positive.

He's not the kind of player who gives 100 per cent in the game, which is what many people criticize the most, thinking that he lacks professionalism.

In other races, he spends most of his time walking, just running when he needs to sprint.

Pushing your speed to the limit might lead to a goal?

But in this game, from the very beginning of the game, Elton started pressing in front of the court - just as Werder Bremen had the ball.

He behaved like a defensive player and worked hard.

The fighting spirit he displayed could be seen even by the blind.

"The idea of Elton wanting to score a goal at Weser Stadium was a real ...... for all of us," lamented commentator Marcel Leif.

In this game, the feud between Elton and Werder Bremen is definitely a highlight.

But like his fate in Werder Bremen.

When Glory arrived at Werder Bremen, he scored two goals in four games and was the team's top scorer at the time, and he was in very good form at the time.

If it continues, everyone thinks he can compete for the top scorer that season.

As a result, the glory came, and his good form came to an abrupt end.

Everything changed, instead of being the top scorer, he was reduced to a substitute and couldn't play for a long time.

And now, when he was holding back his energy to score against Werder Bremen and help Schalke 04 beat his old club away, it was the glory that ruined his good deeds......

※※※

Ten minutes into the game, Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen attacked and defended each other, although Elton performed well, but he could not change the state of the whole team. He is very positive, and it does not mean that the team will press Werder Bremen to play.

Instead, it was Werder Bremen who had a slight advantage at home.

In this game, Schaff lined up the 433 formation he had been training during the training camp, allowing Klose, Krasnic and Rongguang to start as strikers.

The three were flexible in their positions in the game.

This adds a lot of difficulty to Schalke 04's defence.

Their frequent changes of position finally caused a fatal hole in Schalke 04's defence in the eighteenth minute.

Klose, a newcomer to the team this season, suddenly pulled from the middle to the wing, received a pass from Ernst, and sent the ball into the box.

Krasnic received the ball, but he couldn't turn around and shoot because the box was too crowded.

So he knocked the ball straight out of the penalty area.

Glory in the middle of the ball shoots!

The football flew like a cannonball towards the goal of Schalke 04.

Schalke 04's goalkeeper Frank Rost made a flying save, but he was blocked by the dense crowd in the penalty area and did not immediately notice the glory on his feet.

When he sees the ball flying over, it's too late......

He soared in the air, only able to watch the football burrow into the corner!

※※※

"Glory ——!!!" Marcel Leif roared at the sky.

"Nice long shot! Although Rost was obscured from view, causing him to be a little slower to take off and react. But I think it's almost impossible for Rost to stop the ball, even if there is nothing in front of him! This is a dead end! ”

He's right, it's a dead end!

The characteristics of Glory's long-range shots are either not to score, or to score are basically dead corners that are difficult to save, so his long-range shots are rarely saved by the goalkeeper - if you can save Glory's long-range shots, then you must be a first-class goalkeeper in the world.

The main thing is that he is too focused on angle when shooting from a distance.

It's a habit to practice long-range shooting in Brazil, and Glory doesn't plan to change it.

After the goal, the glory did not run wildly to the corner flag area, but raised his arms and shouted in place.

Teammates flocked to see him surrounded.

There was a huge cheer from the Werder Bremen fans in the stands, a stark contrast to the boos that had been given to Elton earlier.

This speaks volumes about who the players Werder Bremen fans really love.

"Won for Werder Bremen to score his first goal of the season and his first goal of the season! What a start! ”

"Good start! Ha Lu Ha! Duan Haoran smiled, in a happy mood. It seems that the so-called rookie wall has no effect on him...... Now it is reassuring that we can expect more and better performances in the new season of the Bundesliga! ”

※※※

Heynckes waved his hand in annoyance when his team conceded the goal.

Glory scored with a long-range shot?

It's too easy to concede this goal, right?

He set his sights on Elton.

Now that the score is already behind, let's count on Elton to make a difference.

The Brazilian on the field, Elton, was watching the glory and they were fascinated.

I really didn't expect that after going around a circle, I went to Schalke 04, and I would let Rongguang steal the limelight.

Are you going to live in the shadow of this kid?

Elton was not reconciled.

Substitute him at Werder Bremen, there is no way. Now in Schalke 04, I can change all this......

That's to challenge him face to face!

In the game, beat him head-on with a goal!
