Wolfsburg, aok stadium.

Halftime is over.

Wan Meng got up from the bench and returned to the locker room without saying a word.

The score displayed on the courtside scoreboard was 2:0.

Wolfsburg reserves take the lead.

It's not that he was dissatisfied with the score.

Playing away from home, the opponent's club is at a higher level, so it's normal to fall behind.

What he was unhappy with was the attitude of the players on the court.

Melege, who accompanied the team to watch the game, wanted to catch up with Wan Nang and say something, but held back and just told the substitute players to come on and warm up.

In the dressing room of the St. Pauli reserve team.

The players filed in.

Everyone was talking and laughing, with relaxed expressions, and there was no sign that the score was falling behind.

"Have you seen De Bruyne? Why is he in the reserve team!"

"Maybe he needs to transfer to prevent injuries and come here to maintain his condition."

"Sam, pack your things quickly after the game and go watch the first-team game. Isn't your idol Schurrle?"

said one young player, putting his arm around Sam Schreck's shoulders.

Schreke nodded, with a hint of hope on his handsome face.

Although he was only transferred to the reserve team this season, he has already been a well-known rising star in St. Pauli.

He is also the only young player in the youth training team who has been selected for the U16 and U17 national teams multiple times.

The reserve teams of Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 teams can also be counted as the club's U23 echelon, which is already a leapfrog for the seventeen-year-old.

Although it was his first time to play against these players who were several years older, he was still the only bright spot in the first half of St. Pauli. As a midfield organizer, he made several passes and breakthroughs well, creating some threats.

Some teammates even vowed that if he maintains this state, Schreck will definitely be promoted to the first team by Lining.

But some people don't think so.

"Schürrle doesn't play football while walking around like you."

A cold voice interrupted the conversation just now.

It's the perfect way to return to the locker room early.

"Teach...train, I..."

Just as Schreck was about to explain, his teammates immediately retorted:

"Sam has worked hard enough."

"effort?"

Wan Mang smiled disdainfully.

"When you attack, you stick to the ball, but when you defend, you don't return to your position. Is this just hard work?"

Although he was only a temporary coach, his previous glorious experience allowed Wan Mang to easily gain a foothold in the reserve team. When he saw him firing, the temperature in the locker room suddenly dropped.

"Who can tell me what league the Wolfsburg reserve team plays in?"

"North German League."

Theo, who was studying German assiduously, replied loudly.

"What about us?"

"Same!"

"Wrong! It's different! In my opinion, others play in the Bundesliga, and we are the Bundesliga!"

The almighty loud voice echoed throughout the locker room.

"Most of you are peers, why are you giving up now? Acknowledge that others can earn high salaries, enjoy beautiful cars and beautiful women in the future, but you can only hang out in low-level leagues, or go home to build bricks? Is this your ambition?

"

"I'm an old guy in his thirties and I haven't given up, so you guys give up now? Are you so quick to admit that you are inferior to others?"

The omnipotent voice became louder and louder, and later even turned into a roar.

Along with his passionate tone, the players' expressions changed from stunned to thoughtful.

"Some people may think that this is just a friendly match and there is no need to take it seriously. Then let me ask you, look at your opponents. They are stronger than you, but they are more active and work harder. Why is this? Because they know that even if it is a friendly match

, and you must devote yourself wholeheartedly, otherwise you will just be like you and have no football to play in the future!"

Almighty words are like nails piercing into the hearts of the players. They are all young people and have fought all the way from the fiercely competitive youth echelon. How can they give up easily?

Seeing the faces that were flushed with excitement, Wan Wen knew that what he said worked.

After all, they are still a group of rookies who have not played many professional games. With a little bit of effort, their condition will be completely different.

There are some things that are useless to say in advance. The hottest ridicule must be delivered when they are most relaxed.

"If anyone is unwilling to do this, then go out with me and warm up! Then let those arrogant wolves know on the court that we are pirates!"

After saying this, Wan Mang waved his hand and left the locker room first.

Following him was Theo Hernandez, who had red eyes. His performance in the first half was also average, but he still had high morale.

Sam Schreck looked at the other teammates who were gearing up and followed suit.

I have to say that the coach's words touched his heart.

………

Under the leadership of Wan Mang, all the players of the St. Pauli reserve team returned to the court and began to warm up.

This abnormal behavior also attracted the attention of the off-site media.

It was just a friendly match for the reserve team, but there were more than a dozen media present today.

They are basically divided into two camps.

On one side are the German and Wolfsburg local media. Their target is the team's number one star, Kevin De Bruyne, who is about to transfer.

It is said that Wolfsburg has reached an agreement with Manchester City. This friendly match will be De Bruyne's last game in a Wolfsburg jersey. Even if it looks like the first half, he may not play.

On the other side, there is a group of dragon country media with yellow skin and black hair. They are here for Zhang Zhe.

Yes, Zhang Zhe is also in the reserve team today and started the game.

There are well-informed media reports that he is about to return to China to join the BJ team. This reserve team game will also be his last appearance at Wolfsburg.

He performed well in the first half and scored an assist.

This made the Long Kingdom media on the sidelines have a collective climax, and they all drafted titles in their minds.

"Zhang Zhe made another assist in Wolfsburg's last game, De Bruyne applauded and cheered on the court"

"The professionalism of Dragon Kingdom players is highly praised, Zhang Zhe stood on his last duty before leaving the team"

At this time, some sharp-eyed media discovered that among the warm-up players of the German second division team opposite, there were two Asian faces.

The reporter who spoke German immediately inquired with the local colleague next to him, and then he learned that the former Japanese star Miya Ichiro had just transferred to St. Pauli and was very likely to appear in the second half.

And that guy who leads the team to warm up and doesn’t look like a good guy with red hair seems to be from the Dragon Country?

Friendly match staged Dragon Kingdom Derby?

Zhang Zhe completely exploded the former Japanese emperor star?

More exciting headlines flashed through the minds of the Longguo reporters. Unfortunately, before they could dig out more explosive information, the second half of the game was about to begin.

Before the buzzer sounded again, Melege called on Magnum who returned to the bench.

There was a first-team match in the evening, and as the director, he had to rush to another stadium to provide logistical support for the team.

He came specifically to lighten Wan Meng's burden.

It's a friendly match. It's not a shame to lose to Wolfsburg. Anyway, just a little, don't let Miyaichi Ryo get injured again.

Wan Mang nodded absently, looking at the anger in the eyes of the young men who were about to appear, thinking that this game still needs to be played.

As soon as Megler left, he turned around and said to the fourth official:

"Substitution, palace number 13 is up."

I don’t know if it was the effect of his midfield training or Ryo Miyaichi’s appearance. Anyway, at the beginning of the second half, the St. Pauli reserve team reversed their decline. Both their running and mental outlook were greatly improved, and they actually played against Wolfsburg.

There has to be a return.

In the second half, the formation of the St. Pauli reserve team changed from a defensive 4-4-2 to an all-around 4-2-3-1.

Sam Schreck, who has the best technique, becomes the attacking midfielder first, with Theo and Miyaichi Ryo on his left and right sides.

The effect of the change of formation was immediate, as the two men's speed advantage was fully brought into play, and Wolfsburg's two wings were stretched out unnecessarily.
