Chapter 013: A bad start

The commentator of German national television is still talking about Yang Fan.

They chatted and found that the young Chinese striker seemed to be a very good topic.

"To be honest, I have sympathy for this kid," Netzer said.

"Why?" asked Mayer Hanks, pretending not to know.

Netzer winked his eyes, "Meier, don't pretend."

"Well, I'll admit, I know about it," Myer Hanks said, "but, to be honest, I think it's a bit too much for a young person to be treated like this by the media." Then he looked at Netzer, "I thought you'd have some sympathy for what is going on with this kid.

"Well, I'll admit it, I'll take back my ridicule of that kid," Netzer said after a dozen seconds of silence, "If this kid can play today, I'll apologize to him personally."

Myer Hanks glanced at his commentary partner, and was not the slightest surprised that Netzer took the initiative to admit his mistake so quickly, in fact, his commentary partner has always been such a stunned character, or it can be said that he is unruly.

Netzel was the soul of Borussia Mönchengladbach's dominance in the Bundesliga in the 70s of the 20th century, and the representative of the white team.

In the 70s of the last century, it was the era of the blowout of German football's genius, Netzer's Borussia Mönchengladbach was not the flag of the German national team, Borussia Mönchenglad's sworn enemy Bayern Munich at that time formed the basic framework of the West German team that later won the 1974 World Cup, Bayern Munich sent six main players to the national team: goalkeeper Meyer, defender Beckenbauer, Schwarzenbeck, Breitner, forward Hoeness and striker Muller.

However, Bayern Munich's monopoly on the national team was resisted by the likes of Borussia Mönchengladbach's Vogts, Heynckes and Netzer. In particular, Netzer, as the soul star of Borussia Mönchengladbach, has a unique style of play and personality, and his long passing skills and set-piece skills are even more extraordinary. In addition, this person has an uninhibited personality that echoes his own talent and skills.

Netzer is the soul of the pitch and has had a huge impact on the team from set-pieces and many other aspects when he gets the ball. However, Beckenbauer was reluctant to relinquish leadership to his rival Netzer, who did not like him at all.

At first, Beckenbauer wanted to make Netzer obedient and accept Netzer as his younger brother, but Netzer obviously did not have the consciousness to be a younger brother, and he even complained to his friends, 'I don't like Beckenbauer's dead face all day long, as if he was calculating at any time.'"

For the sake of his own honour and Bayern's dignity, Beckenbauer tried to limit Netzer's role and prestige. He did everything he could to prevent Netzer from becoming a great player. For example, Netzer lost the 1972 European Footballer of the Year election by one vote, and Netzer later fired at Beckenbauer, believing that Beckenbauer was playing tricks behind the scenes, and urged people not to vote for him.

The two superstars turned against each other publicly.

To this day, the two remain enemies.

Unlike Beckenbauer, who is the emperor of German football and affects German football with every move, Netzer took up the job of a commentator after retiring, and his sharp remarks, as well as his character of not being afraid of offending people, although he offended some people, but he was very popular with fans, and is now a gold medal commentator on German national television.

"Now we have the starting line-up for both sides, and Wolfsburg's starting line-up is exactly the same as the one we started in the last away game with Hertha Berlin... In that game, Wolfsburg lost 1-2 at home. Well, according to the pre-match news from inside Wolfsburg, if this ball cannot be won, then Augenthaler's days with Wolfsburg will also come to an end. Netzer narrowed his eyes at the starting line-up, "These players are the strongest Wolfsburg team can field right now. Good luck to him."

Yang Fan sat on the bench and saw the starters play amid the tsunami cheers of the fans, and the young man's face was full of envy.

Just two minutes into the game, Eintracht Frankfurt had an excellent chance to open the scoring, their midfielder Fink crossed from the right, in the middle of the box, Wolfsburg defender Alexander Madelen actually leaked, Eintracht Frankfurt player Heller jumped high unguarded, but unfortunately, the header was deflected, and Wolfsburg was lucky to get rid of the bad luck of conceding the goal in the opening game.

"Shit!"

Yang Fan, who was sitting on the bench, heard head coach Ogenthaler scolding like this.

Yang Fan also looked at Alexandre Madelen, who almost made a big mistake this time, Alexander couldn't have been too intimate with the inflatable doll last night, so his feet were soft, he muttered.

VfL Wolfsburg seemed to be sleepwalking after the opening kick-off, as they were pressed by the visiting Eintracht Frankfurt side.

Three minutes later, Eintracht Frankfurt won a corner, and the Wolfsburg player cleared the ball in the box and headed the ball to the feet of the Eintracht Frankfurt player, and the Japanese player Naoyasu Takahara in the big box got straight to the goal, but the captain of the far post, Kevin Hovland, blocked the ball on the goal line, and Wolfsburg escaped.

Yang Fan only noticed at this time that there was an Asian face in the Frankfurt team, he looked at Naotai Takahara in surprise, and guessed whether this person was Korean or Japanese. He pouted, not that he looked down on the Japanese international, but that he instinctively reacted when he heard the man's nationality.

In the 7th minute, Wolfsburg won a corner kick opportunity. Penalty takers Salpe and Santana made a tactical combination, and finally the former took a shot directly from outside the penalty area, and the ball went straight to the far post.

The shot also won a cheer from the stands at the Volkswagen Stadium.Yang Fan jumped up excitedly when he saw Salpe shoot, and when he saw the ball deflected, he returned to his seat a little stupidly.

Augenthaler turned his head to look at the overly excited kid on the bench, and without speaking, he cast his gaze back on the court.

Eintracht Frankfurt had a strong anti-play attitude after the opening kick-off, taking the initiative on the pitch, while VfL Wolfsburg were passive, with only one shot on goal so far, still from outside the box.

"Oooo

Sure enough, Netzer squinted at his partner.He is notoriously uninterested in Bayern Munich, which is almost a household name in Germany.Of course, Netzer is not the kind of big mouth that makes a fuss, although he often criticizes Bayern Munich in his column, however, people have noticed that this criticism is mostly 'substantial', and it is relatively objective.

For current Borussia Mönchengladbach fans, it's a joy to see their former soul star criticising Bayern.

Mayer Hanks' words may have been an exaggeration, but they were a good reflection of the situation on the pitch, with the visiting Eintracht Frankfurt man completely in possession and bombarding the Wolfsburg goal.

In the 12th minute, it was again the Eintracht Frankfurt players who got a chance to hit the goal from close range in front of the Wolfsburg goal, but unfortunately the shot at the last moment was destroyed by Alexander Madelen in advance.

"Well done, Alexander. Yang Fan applauded Alexander.

Organthaler glanced at Yang Fan with some surprise, this kid is a little too active, not at all like some young people who have been selected for the first time in the squad, most young people should be sitting on the bench at the moment.

Five minutes later, the first goal of the game came in.

Wolfsburg made a fatal mistake at the back, Wolfsburg's full-back Stegmeier in front of the penalty area put a threatening high ball header to Eintracht Frankfurt's Heller, who made a move to shoot, attracted the attention of the defender, and suddenly crossed the ball, which was received by Japanese striker Naotai Takahara, who is now completely unguarded within a few meters of Naotai Takahara, and the Japanese who received the gift of the gift fired a cold shot directly into the right side of the net, and Wolfsburg goalkeeper Simon Jench was completely powerless for this shot.

The goal silenced the nearly 30,000 fans gathered at the Volkswagen Arena as the first goal of the game was scored, only to be scored by the opposition.

After Naotai Takahara's goal, he excitedly pulled up Heller, who had assisted him, and ran over to the Eintracht Frankfurt fans in the visiting fans' stands, showing them the shirt number and name behind him, while the Frankfurts cheered and applauded the Japanese wildly.

"I'm cǎo***. Yang Fan scolded hatefully.

Augenthaler went berserk, shouting at the room, "Michael, what are you doing? What are you thinking!shit?!"

It's no wonder that Organthaler went on a rampage, even those who don't understand the ball can see that Stegmeier's mistaken pass just now was the culprit of the goal conceded, and this mistake was an amateur, and it was definitely suicidal to pass the football to the opponent near the penalty area without the opponent pressing.

"I have a hunch that Wolfsburg will continue to sink today. Myle Hanks said worriedly.

"Mr. Augenthaler must now feel as if his team was cursed today. Netzer shook his finger, "From the start, Alexander Madelen missed a shot, it was lucky not to concede a goal that time, but this time, their luck ran out. As he spoke, he spread his hands, "I really want to know what Michael Sturgmeier was thinking at that time?"

When the venom sprayed in his mouth, Netzer had a smile on his lips, he was not a Wolfsburg fan, nor was he a supporter of Frankfurt, he was only worried that the scene would be too dull in such a game, and now it seems that the game is going well, and there is a lot for them to idle and play.

Boos over Wolfsburg's Volkstrodeo Stadium were a sign of displeasure with Eintracht Frankfurt's goal, and of course, who's to say that this wasn't Michael Stegmeier, who made a big mistake in boosing, and to be honest, it was a low-level mistake that should not be pulled out for half an hour.

Amid a frantic boo, the referee pointed to the center circle and the match continued.
