Chapter Ninety-Three: European Qualification
On April 11, the semi-finals of the German Cup will be played. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two matches are Mainz II against Eintracht Frankfurt.
St. Pauli vs. Mainz.
The league is already in the twenty-ninth round, and as early as the twenty-seventh round, Mainz was sure that they would at least qualify for the League Cup.
If you get six points from the next five games, you will qualify for the Champions League.
It's not the point.
The point is that after the semi-finals of the German Cup, it is very likely that there will be a scene where Mainz II and Mainz I will meet in the final.
This happened in 1980 against Real Madrid and Real Madrid in La Liga.
The media also reported on the incident.
Because there is a big one in it, the slot, or the g-spot.
"In 1980, Real Madrid and Real Madrid II team will meet in the final of the Copa del Rey, because Real Madrid has qualified for the European competition in advance, so from the beginning of the final, Real Madrid II team won the qualification for the League Cup that year, but they were unlucky to meet the then League One strong team in the first round, and were eliminated, if Mainz and the second team can successfully meet in the final, then the Mainz II team will reproduce the legend of the second team of Real Madrid, and even go further."
At present, Eintracht Frankfurt and St. Pauli are unlikely to let go for the sake of qualifying for the League Cup, but they have reached the semi-finals, and Mainz has no reason to give up this qualification for the championship.
On April 11, it is the semi-finals of the German Cup, April 15 will be the thirtieth round of the league, and April 20 will be the semi-finals of the League Cup, but so far, the draw results of the League Cup have not yet been released.
In the thirtieth round of the league, it is against Eintracht Frankfurt.
In other words, in five days, two games against Eintracht Frankfurt, there is no reason to abandon the German Cup, anyway, they are all the same opponent.
In the first half of the schedule, when Mainz met Eintracht Frankfurt, it happened to meet Wang Zhen's goal drought and was criticized by the media.
It turned out to be Wang Zhen's goal that helped Mainz win Eintracht Frankfurt at home.
Faced with this situation, will Klopp choose to keep the first team or the second team?
In fact, Klopp's words are useless in this matter, because he promised early on that if the second team continues to advance, he will not take the initiative to block it, that is to say, after Klopp draws a team of eighteen people from the first team, the remaining echelons of Mainz, including the players of the reserve team, are arbitrarily selected by Bel Colin.
Mainz have brought in too many players this season, and Klopp can't take all the strong players in the midfield at once, so the second team will definitely come up with a very good lineup.
In training, the first and second teams finalized the lineup in advance, the first team's starting midfielders will be Ribery, Alfa, Cana, Karankica, substitutes are Modric, Albertini, Misimovic, defenders, the first team is Novotny, Spasoye, Schutte, and the substitute is Warnes.
Therefore, the lineup of the second team is Michael Zucker, Webber, Montolivo, Mimoen, Payer, Link, Wieland, Wang Erlei and others.
This lineup is also composed of players who often appear in first-team games.
So, St. Pauli felt a lot of pressure.
In fact, it is not easy for them to reach the semi-finals all the way, and meeting the second team of Mainz is equivalent to delivering food.
On the first side, Eintracht Frankfurt have claimed to be aiming for the final, but they are just shouting slogans, and they will now have to make sure that they do not fall into the relegation zone.
As a result, Eintracht Frankfurt are ready to probe Mainz with a semi-substitute line-up in the hope of guaranteeing a league match on April 15.
Eintracht Frankfurt thought very clearly, even if they won the second team of Mainz, they would encounter the full main squad of Mainz in the final, and they would lose at that time, so why risk it in the league for this.
It can be said that this schedule is one of the few good things that Mainz can get in the whole of April.
On April 11, Mainz's home second team played Eintracht Frankfurt, and the whole home stadium was full, which made the eyes of other teams very hot.
Fans of the second team of Mainz also put up slogans: "The same team will meet in Berlin, fight for a high and low!" ”
The final of the German Cup was held in Berlin.
Myers also made a rare joke at this time: "If the first team loses, then the second team really has a chance to create a miracle and win the German Cup." "As a commentator for Mainz's home stadium, it's really rare to make him think about Mainz losing.
If so, Mainz will have peace of mind?
Wrong! Miss by a mile! This is just the media's assessment of the situation, and some people don't think so.
St. Pauli, the year Mainz began to try to be promoted to the first division, that is, in the 01-02 season, St. Pauli was relegated from the Bundesliga.
Even during the relegation period, they beat Bayern, who had just won the Club World Cup.
Due to financial problems, St. Pauli were relegated and quickly moved up from the second division, but for now they remain in the third division, one level above the Mainz II team, and are still a professional club.
In the year of their financial crisis, Bayern, Mainz and Hannover also held friendly matches with them and ceded all their income to them.
St. Pauli issued a news before the game: "I still remember the kindness of the past, but the game is the game, the favor is the favor, and we will not give up." ”
This season, St. Pauli, who are in the Northern Regional League (Division C), have won an incredible victory in the German Cup. In the knockout rounds, they beat the likes of Burghausen, Bochum and Hertha Berlin, and on January 25, 2006, in the quarter-finals, they beat Werder Bremen, who were currently third in the Bundesliga, 3-1. Reaching the semi-finals of the German Cup brought in around €1 million in TV and sponsorship revenue for the club, which greatly alleviated the club's financial crisis at the time.
In other words, St. Pauli is waiting for the miracle to continue, and Mainz will be beheaded as well!
They think very clearly, if they win the first team of Mainz, then the final against the second team of Mainz, there will also be a psychological advantage!
However, Wang Zhen posted before the game and refused to be unpopular.
The Mainz special issue also published a manuscript concocted by Wang Zhen himself, in a word, it is impossible to give up.
If you need to be soft-hearted, shouldn't it be an amateur team that wins the German Cup every season?
The game finally came.
"The news from the front came that the Mainz II team has been in a state of attack since the opening, and Eintracht Frankfurt has been defending to the death, and it seems that for the sake of the championship, they don't mind dragging it out until extra time or even a penalty shootout!"
In the city of Hamburg, the home of St. Pauli, on the Müller Gate Stadium, the pirate flag is fluttering.
The pirate flag seems to be the unofficial symbol of St. Pauli, St. Pauli, this place, the left-wing ideology is very serious, because Hamburg is a conservative team that supports the government, so their city team is the white left.
Not only the white left, they are also crazy religious, not only religious, they even maintain some of the ideas of the mustache.
The book says that Germany has completely abandoned France (Spain), but it is a lie, and St. Pauli, for example, is such a place.
Hamburg and Mainz, the two centers of mustache back then, are not enemies.
On the other hand, Mainz is also the largest parish in Germany after Cologne Hamburg.
To be honest, Mainz and St. Pauli are two different forms of teams that have come out of the same environment.
St. Pauli embodied everything in thought, they were extreme, they were arrogant, they were all-encompassing.
Mainz put everything into action, attacking aggressively, enthusiastically galloping and always supporting the team.
The two teams played not dirty on the field, but very clean, but the regular physical contact was magnified to the limit.
Wang Zhen carried a defender and turned around to shoot, and when he saw that the ball did not go in, he would retreat, and the defender who was knocked away by him raised his thumb: "You diao!" ”
