Chapter 28 The first day in Marseille first team

Zhang Yang scratched his head, and he decided to introduce himself. It seemed that Ribery was not that reliable to count on him.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Yang, from China. I'm very happy to be able to play football with everyone. You can call me Zhang."

Just before the two came in, the players were gathering together and chatting in groups. They had not yet reacted to Ribery's big talk just now, but now they still understood Zhang Yang's words.

"Hello, young man, welcome you. I am Fredridge Dehu, welcome you." Marseille captain Dehu stretched out his hand to Zhang Yang. Dehu is the team captain, and it is his job to welcome new teammates on behalf of the team.

"Hello, captain." Zhang Yang shook hands with Frederic De Hu. He looked at the veteran in front of him. This person was not an unknown person. De Hu was an international player in the French national team. He was once known as the best scavenger in France. Later, he transferred to Barcelona. However, at the Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, ​​De Hu had never gained real trust. In 2000, he left Barcelona to transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, and later came to Marseille and became the flag and leader of Marseille. He is the well-deserved stabilization needle of Marseille.

"Fredrich, I'll hand this kid to you." Ribery said, touching the scar on his face, and then said with some concern, "This is my Ribery's friend. Don't bully him."

The captain of the Marseille looked at Ribery in surprise. Although Ribery was a cheerful and optimistic guy, this guy rarely said that someone was his friend. This kid seemed to be familiar with Ribery?

Zhang Yang didn't understand what Ribery was saying. When he saw Ribery winking at him, he could only respond with a smile, Oh my God, is this guy really speaking French?

Fredridge Dehu then introduced the rest of the team to Zhang Yang, but it was obvious that Zhang Yang's arrival did not arouse much interest. He shook hands with Zhang Yang with a more enthusiastic heart, and nodded with a polite one. Some were rude and even had no expression on their faces and had no response at all.

Only a guy who looked younger than Zhang Yang came over and hugged Zhang Yang, "Zhang, I'm Samir Nasri, I heard Almaide mention you."

Almed is Almed Yashioi, and Zhang Yang felt warm immediately. Yashioi knew that he had come to the first team and there was no one he knew. It seemed that he had greeted Nasri. Yashioi and Nasri were both Gemini stars in the Marseille youth training camp before and had a good relationship. However, Zhang Yang was very surprised. He only received a notice this morning to come to the first team. Did Yashioi call Nasri just now?

This guy! Zhang Yang cursed and suddenly felt a little moved.

"Zhang, did Mr. Fernandez say which locker you use?" Marseille captain Fredridge Dehu asked Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang shook his head. He had realized that he had made a big mistake. He should go to Mr. Fernandez first, instead of coming to the locker room alone.

"Uh--" The captain of Marseille was a little embarrassed. He looked at the locker and finally pointed to the innermost cabinet near the corner of the wall and said, "Then you can use that cabinet first."

"Okay." Zhang Yang looked at the worst-placed locker, and he nodded. Zhang Yang felt a little uncomfortable about this arrangement. Obviously, the position of the locker represents a person's position in the team, and the locker at that location must be the worst place. However, Zhang Yang knew that he was a newcomer and a rookie, he was really not qualified to complain about anything.

One day, I want the closet in the middle! He said to himself in his heart.

Afterwards, everyone was busy with their own affairs. Zhang Yang leaned on his locker and didn't know what he should do. He watched others wearing headphones listening to music, shaving, praying, blowing their hair, or simply someone was wearing a gloomy face and wondering what he was thinking... Zhang Yang suddenly felt that he seemed redundant.

Seeing Zhang Yang being silent, Nasri comforted: "It's nothing. I was like this when I first came. These people are actually good. The grades have not been very good recently. Everyone is in a bad mood."

Zhang Yang nodded, he knew the situation of the first team. After the 13th round of the league, the Marseille team, which had only won five of the games in the less game. Now, they ranked 13th among the twenty teams in the French League One with 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, only a little higher than the relegation zone. This is undoubtedly a disastrous result for the Marseille team, who is determined to win the Ligue 1 championship in the season and overturn the dominant position of Lyon. It can even be said to be a disastrous result!

The media has been hyping up the crisis of Marseille, discussing when Marseille head coach Fernandez will be dismissed, discussing which players the Marseille team will be cleaned up, and discussing which players the Marseille team will introduce to replace the current players during winter or summer transfers.

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe the current Marseille team as a low morale and panic.

Fernandez learned from assistant coach Hiltney that Zhang Yang had gone to the locker room alone. Even Fernandez, who was knowledgeable, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. This kid was really interesting.

He heard Hilteny talk about Ribery and Zhang Yang again. He heard that Ribery seemed quite enthusiastic, and Fernandez nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

"I wonder why Frank is so enthusiastic about this kid?" Hiltney was a little surprised.

"You forgot what Frank was like before," Fernandez said with a smile.

Hiltney slapped his head, yes, Frank Ribery has been playing football in an amateur team before. If the gentleman in front of him hadn't discovered his football talent, Ribery might have given up football. And this young Chinese man has never played professional games, and his experience can be said to be similar to Frank Ribery. Could it be that Ribery wanted to help the Chinese boy because this kid is somewhat similar to his own experience?

"However, Frank didn't seem to know Zhang just now." Hiltney expressed his doubts.

Fernandez laughed but did not answer, which made Hiltney a little puzzled. Fernandez lit up the newspaper in his hand. This was a copy of "Atlanie Marseille", which happened to be turned to the third page. In a corner, there was a small photo, which was a photo of Zhang Yang roaring after scoring the goal of the Marseille youth team in yesterday's Youth League. Next to it, it was written, the Marseille youth team 3:2 Paris Saint-Germain youth team.

"In the Youth League held yesterday, the Marseille youth team scored three goals in a row when they were behind 0:2, reversing and defeating their arch-rivals Paris Saint-Germain youth team. The biggest contributor to the team's victory was a strange Chinese young man. This young man came on as a substitute to score a goal to equalize the score and created the subsequent penalty... It is worth noting that this young man from faraway China had no professional competition before. Is it possible that our Marseille team has a new Ribery-style player?"

"If I remember correctly, our players can see "Atlanie Marseille" at home," said Fernandez.

"That's right." Hiltney knew what was going on. "Atlanie Marseille" is a cooperative graphic media for the Marseille club. This newspaper provides free newspapers for Marseille first-team players for two years. Ribery naturally has such newspapers at home... Needless to say, Ribery naturally saw this newspaper in the morning and learned about this young Chinese man.

As for what Ribery did just now, it seems that he was playing tricks again. Maybe he didn't know who Zhang Yang was standing outside the locker room at first, but he must have known it later. He deliberately pretended not to know and was teasing Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang finally met Fernandez in the locker room.

Fernandez did not mention that Zhang Yang did not go to the office to meet him, but asked Zhang Yang's locker first to confirm whether he had confirmed.

Zhang Yang pointed to the locker in the corner.

Fernandez looked at Chang Yang with a calm expression and asked again, "Which number do you like?" This is to choose a jersey number.

"No. 27." Zhang Yang blurted out. This is a number he likes very much. Moreover, he just noticed that no one in the Marseille team is using this number now. That means he can use it.

"Well, okay, just use that number." Fernandez nodded, "Your game jersey will be printed with this number later."

In the subsequent training, Zhang Yang was wearing a No. 27 jersey, but the name on this jersey was not his, it said hemdani, which was probably the ex of this number. Zhang Yang thought to himself.

During the entire training, the gap in strength between Zhang Yang and these players immediately emerged. Not to mention anything else, the technical ability of Marseille first-team players is definitely good, and their skills can be surpassed by Zhang Yang.

At the beginning of the training, Nasri passed the ball to Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang stopped the ball, and the ball was more than one meter away. This immediately attracted the surprise eyes of other players of the Marseille team. Some players began to complain in their hearts, how could this kid come to the first team of Marseille?

Zhang Yang also blushed, and he wanted to find a crack in the floor to get into it.

Others looked at him with strange eyes, and some people laughed. Although the laughter was not loud, it was so harsh.

Training continues.

The first training class for the first team in Marseille was a torture for Zhang Yang. He didn't know how he had survived the training this morning.

After the training, Zhang Yang walked towards the locker room with his head hanging down. He was hit.

Marseille head coach Fernandez did not take any care of Zhang Yang or talk to him during the entire training process. He just looked at him coldly, as if this young man had been a first-team player of Marseille, and was no different from others.

During the training, Marseille assistant coach Hiltney looked at Fernandez from time to time, wanting to see the expression on the head coach's face. He didn't understand what Fernandez thought and transferred the kid to the first team. Is it just to see this kid make a fool of himself?

Of course he knew that Fernandez was definitely not the purpose, but Hiltney couldn't figure out what else could that kid do in the first team except to make a fool of himself?

This kid was hit like this today, and he might not be able to stand it tomorrow. He asked to return to the youth team in shame!

Looking at Zhang Yang walking towards the locker room in frustration, Hiltney suddenly thought happily... Well, as the team's assistant coach, it is really inappropriate to think of his players like this.

Back at the office, Hiltney was called by Fernandez, who took a piece of paper from Fernandez's hand.

"Let's discuss the game against Le Mans. This is the list of players I have decided." Fernandez lit a cigarette, took a sip, and spit out a cigarette ring. The Marseille team's poor record and he was under a lot of pressure.
Chapter completed!
