Chapter 437 How to Be a Captain

The next day, the Schalke club announced the 18-man roster for the UEFA Champions League, which instantly shattered the glasses of countless people. Many people had a premonition that a storm would break out.

Most of the [-] people were young people who had rarely played before, and those so-called hard-hitting main players were almost gone.And that's not all. What's really scary is that Jones, Sarpe and Gao Junmin were sent directly to the second team, and all three of them were told that they could now look for their next home.

The three of them are naturally not convinced. It is said that they had a big fight with Magath after getting the news, but Magath responded to them by saying that as long as I am still in Schalke, you will never be able to enter the first team. Not the players here at all, what you've done is sending this team to hell.

The outsiders didn't know what happened inside, but the news from the inside said that these three people were the ones who confided the inside story of the locker room to the outside world, and Gao Junmin was the one who spoke to the outside world.

The three of them packed their bags and left in front of everyone. It didn't matter to them whether to report to the second team or not. They were directly expelled.

Ai Huan walked up to Gao Junmin's side, glanced at him, and suddenly sighed and said, "I never understood why you hate me, but I hope you can remember what happened today, so that you won't be confused about who it is in the future." The real trump card."

Gao Junmin sneered, "Do you think you can force me to death? If I go back to my country to play football, I can still make money, but you, you don't even have a country. If you have something to do, how can you make me look up to you?"

"I will go back, remember, I will definitely go back, when you are all dead, I will go back." This is the first time Ai Huan has said what is in his heart, with almost every word The smell of gunpowder.

"You?" Gao Junmin looked at Ai Huan bitterly, "Remember not to go back to the national team, or I will make you die ugly!"

Ai Huan also laughed, "You really don't understand, you still don't understand, but it doesn't matter, you still have time to think about it slowly."

Three people were sent away in one breath, but that's not all. Magath also went crazy this time and directly threw Edu and Farfan out of the 18-man roster, plus Metzel, who was injured. Germany, the starting lineup of the last game has almost completely disappeared, and the 18 people who can go to Lyon with the team are almost all young people in their twenties who rarely have the opportunity to play. Both excited and nervous.

On the plane to France, a group of young people gathered together in twos and threes, some were chatting and some were playing cards. After all, they were all young people. Although they were nervous, they were still in the mood to play for a while.

Ai Huan and Raul sat at the back and chatted quietly, their topic was still about the captain's question, "Raul, I really don't think I'm suitable for this position. I know they are nervous, but they just I don't know what to say to this group of people, how can I relax their tense nerves, do you think I am useless?"

Raul chuckled, "Then just tell them why you're not nervous?"

"Me?" Ai Huan stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "I really don't know why I'm so nervous, it's because my heart is too big. By the way, you also became the captain of Real Madrid when you were a teenager. How did you do it at that time? "

"Told you this?" Raul laughed hey, "The fact is that I was the vice captain at that time, and the real captain was Hierro. He was a very competent captain and did a lot of things for us until he After retiring, I started to be the captain." Raul's tone suddenly became lower when he said this, "Actually, if you ask me about how to be a competent captain, you are asking the wrong person. I actually did a very good job. Well, until I left the dressing room at Real Madrid and it was never the same as it was with Hierro, that was the truth."

Ai Huan was stunned for a while, he didn't expect such a situation, just when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Raul continue to say, "Actually, I saw the shadow of Hierro in you, you are all the kind who are angry and willing People who fight hard for the team, I feel very comfortable and happy with people like you, which is why I like staying with you as a young man. You think you are not suitable to be the captain now, but you are not. That's true, but you haven't mastered how to do it. When you left the last game, you threw away the captain's armband. This action made the team panic, otherwise no one would stand up to attack you. Actually You have always been a benchmark figure in the eyes of those small players. The only problem is that you have not yet been able to transform your anger into strength, and this will take time to accumulate slowly, but I believe you will succeed."

"Real or fake?" Ai Huan smiled wryly.

Raul seemed very serious, "Of course it is true. Actually, have you ever thought about it, if you tell all the players your anger, tell them what you want them to do, and then let them work hard for a goal, so that they will You will not be at a loss, and you will work hard with your footsteps, maybe this is your first step."

Ai Huan shook his head, "It's simple to say, but I always find it very difficult to do it. After all, this game is the Champions League, we can't afford to lose, but why did the boss want to do it at this time? In fact, he could have waited for this. We’ll talk about it after the game, maybe it’ll be better then.”

"Impossible." This time it was Holtby who had been sitting in the front row sleeping all the time. It turned out that he had been eavesdropping with his eyes closed. When he heard this sentence, he opened his eyes suddenly. Wondering how to play against Dortmund immediately after a game, if the fans have to endure a defeat, it is also the Champions League, playing against Dortmund is absolutely unmissable."

Ai Huan and Raul glanced at each other. They were both outsiders and neither of them knew the specific situation of Schalke very well, so they asked almost at the same time, "Does Dortmund have any feud with Schalke?"

Holtby laughed. "Not only is there a feud, but it is also a world feud. This is the same as the Milan, Rome, and Madrid derbies. We are two incompatible teams. No one can bear to lose to the other. This is the reality." He paused and said, "Not only that, our two teams have many unwritten rules, one of which is that whoever scores goals in such a game is the hero of the city, and those who don't work hard will definitely be condemned by the fans." Spit, I don't think any of you will be surprised by that."
