Chapter 55: Arrival in Gelsenkirchen


The city of Gelsenkirchen is actually not a big city. Even if it was once extremely glorious, it was called the "city of thousand fires". But with the decline of the old industrial age, Gelsenkirchen also declined, even now the economy The success of the transformation is no longer lush.
Fortunately, the present Gelsenkirchen is not the city where countless chimneys smoked dense smoke all day and night. If so, Ye Feng would not choose to come to Schalke 04. He has rhinitis!
The greening of Gelsenkirchen is doing very well now. The city is full of greenery, which makes people feel calm.
But the Schalke 04 training base and home are located in the northern suburbs of Gelsenkirchen. The surroundings are empty, and the towering chimneys of the Ruhr area are everywhere, which makes people very depressed.
Therefore, even players who have played for Schalke 04 for a long time will not live in this neighborhood, or even in the center of Gelsenkirchen.
The international metropolis Düsseldorf is about half an hour’s drive southwest of Gelsenkirchen, so many Schalke 04 players prefer to live in Düsseldorf, after all, the facilities are better .
Of course, in fact, Gelsenkirchen is closer to Dortmund, another big city, but there is a natural competitive relationship between the two cities. Schalke 04 is the real enemy of Dortmund, so Schalke players We don’t live in Dortmund.
Ye Feng doesn't need to think about that much by himself. He lives alone, so there is no need to go to Dusseldorf to rent a house.
Let him spend more than an hour on the road every day, which is really a kind of torture.
At that time, isn't it good to play cards?
Arriving at Düsseldorf Airport, the staff of Schalke 04 had already been waiting there, driving Ye Feng to the hotel in the center of Gelsenkirchen.
The next day, Ye Feng and the real estate agent I contacted earlier visited the house, and finally chose a villa near the Rhine Park.
The villa is divided into three floors, a total of 14 rooms, including a small indoor swimming pool, has an indoor gym, and what makes Ye Feng most satisfied is that there is a small football field in the large courtyard.
Ye Feng liked this villa very much and signed the contract decisively.
He still can afford the one-year rent.
But when he saw that 6 cars could be accommodated in the garage of the villa, Ye Feng knew that his biggest expense in the future was to work hard to fill this garage.
The housekeeping staff was given two days to clean up the villa. During these two days, Ye Feng was familiar with the city, a city that he would stay here for a year and a half.
However, compared to the urban style, Ye Feng is more concerned about the situation of Schalke 04, which is related to his future development.
He played against Schalke 04, so he had some knowledge of the Ruhr’s tyrants. In addition, he also found some information about Schalke through media news. Erke was familiar with the bones, but he was no stranger.
In fact, Schalke's paper strength is still very strong.
The goalkeeper is Germany’s No. 1 goalkeeper, Neuer. After Kahn, Germany’s most reliable goalkeeper, so big, has a strong deterrent effect just standing in front of the door.
Defenders online captains Krstajic and Bordon are both strong defenders. Hevedes and Westman are both Germany's marginal internationals and are equally strong.
In the midfield, there is a brutalist midfielder like Jones, and an all-round midfielder like Rakitic, which also has good dominance.
On the striker line, the combination of Kuranyi and Farfan has made many Bundesliga teams envious, not to mention the fact that there are powerful players such as Asamoah and Altentop on the bench. .
Of course, strictly speaking, the reason why Schalke 04 struggled with the league results this season is that they are distracted from the UEFA Cup. The relatively thin lineup is not enough to support their two-line battle.
Fortunately, Schalke 04 has been eliminated from the group stage. As long as the game is half-hearted in the next half season, it is still very likely to reach the European theater.
The Bundesliga's winter transfer window has always been dull, even in the summer window, the teams are also mostly small.
Ye Feng’s loan from Bayern Munich to join Schalke 04 was published by the media. Perhaps it is not a major event in German football, but in Gelsenkirchen, it is absolutely earthquake-like news.
It was Ye Feng's howitzer outbound ball that blasted Schalke 04 to pieces.
In the highly impactful video, Schalke 04 completely became the background of Ye Feng howitzer, so that when the fans shocked the goal, they also pity them.
Even though Ye Feng has only played twice in the first team of Bayern, his attention is definitely top flow.
Now, Bayern actually put this star of hope out to exercise in Schalke 04?
For a time, miners fans have a pleasant feeling of winning the lottery.
Even if it is a loan to join, even if Ye Feng's ownership is still in Bayern, but this one and a half season, he will play for Schalke 04.
Don’t care forever, just care about what I once owned, probably what it means!
Besides, in the event Bayern’s brain is guilty, and a swarm of bees are hoarding stars in the midfield, they may be able to buy Ye Feng!
Because of Ye Feng's arrival, the miners fans were really excited for a few days.
Previously, they also worried about Ernst's decline, and the team's midfield defense was unbalanced.
Now Ye Feng directly fills this loophole, maybe it can also bring a qualitative improvement to Schalke 04 midfielder.
With the joining of Ye Feng, the rest of the staff flow is no longer important, even if Ernst really transfers to leave, it has not caused too much waves in the hearts of fans.
We thank you for your hard work and wish you a better future, but we will not be sad because we have better choices!
However, Schalke 04 fans are happy, Bayern fans are not so happy.
Their expectations of Ye Feng are extremely strong. With the amazing performance of Ye Feng's two substitutes, Bayern fans are looking forward to the day when Ye Feng stands on the first team, becoming the darling of Allianz Stadium and becoming the leader of Allianz Stadium. go ahead.
But they never imagined that Bayern actually rented Ye Feng out quietly!
These bad guys!
Let the children play by others!
You are willing, we still can't bear it!
For a time, Bayern fans complained about the club!
