Chapter 57: The State Derby

(No. 2 Book Friend Group: 550888792 welcome to join) Thank you Ouyang Xiaobai for being very white, a lonely little witch, and Messi Barcelona for the three children's shoes! PS; Most of the data about individual players in the book is real, but since there are changes, the data has also changed accordingly, and students who find bugs don't need to remind me, because it is deliberate.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In Wang Zhen's heart, the last seven rounds of the league are difficult enough.

As a result, the real difficulty is still beyond Wang Zhen's understanding.

In the 28th round, he was forced to draw by Cartbus, scored a point, and just got a respite, only to find that the opponent in the 29th round was a derby.

Before this, no one had ever told Wang Zhen that playing Trier was actually a derby!

So far this season, Trier has remained in the top 10, however, in the years when Wang Zhen paid attention to Mainz in his previous life, Trier has been relegated to the Southwest League, what league is it? That's the same league as Mainz II! After the continuous restructuring of the league later, Trier also played directly against Mainz II.

Unexpectedly, a few years ago, the two sides were still derby rivals.

Trier is too close to Mainz, closer than Frankfurt.

Frankfurt is actually a few dozen miles northwest of Mainz, but it belongs to the state of Hesse, like the Twin Cities.

Although Mainz is the capital of the state of Rhineland Palatinate, it is on the edge of the state.

When Mainz was promoted to the Bundesliga, Mainz vs. Kaiserslautern was a state derby.

When Mainz stayed in the Bundesliga and Trier was in the Bundesliga, it was a state derby.

Originally, Wang Zhen thought that this was not a great game, but on the day of the game, Wang Zhen was scared silly.

Wang Zhen had never seen so many fans in Mainz, and countless fans still flocked to the periphery of the Blutche Stadium, knowing that there were no more tickets.

Mainz radiated outward, and within a six-kilometer radius, from house to house, all of them were planted with Mainz's red flag.

This is almost a direct coverage of the city where the Mainz club is located!

What's even more bizarre is that Trier also came with countless bearded men, who drank in bars in other parts of Mainz early and then gathered at the Bruuche Stadium.

In Wang Zhen's impression, Trier gives the impression of Marx.

Trier should be a place full of wisdom, full of ideals, and of the innumerable factors to which the proletariat of the whole world aspires.

However, in front of football, all cities, have a wild side.

Fans in Trier and Mainz began to glare angrily from the sidelines.

This is almost no phenomenon in the Bundesliga.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the two cities are too close, there are always contradictions, as a modern war, football is a way to vent each other's dissatisfaction.

It's like in London, where friendly and friendly neighbours suddenly become tense on race day.

At this time, Mainz no longer had a concept of a person.

Everyone is part of the team, and every fan is part of the Mainz emblem and flag.

In the locker room, Wang Zhen could hear the shouts and angry scolding outside.

"Damn, this is crazy!"

Team captain Michael Zack had a rare serious face: "Wang Zhen, we must win this game, it's about honor!" ”

"Huh?"

"It's a derby! If you do well in this game, even a player who has been terrible in a season will become the darling of the fans, you are the signature of Mainz now, and in the derby, you should step up. ”

"It's just a derby, it's worth ......"

In Chengdu, the concept of derby probably only exists between Bashu, however, in the era of Sichuan football, Chongqing football has not yet risen, and when it started in Chongqing, Sichuan Quanxing has disappeared.

Therefore, more often than not, there is both prosperity and loss between the two places in the land of Bashu, and everyone regards the other team's team as their home team, and it is difficult to have such a derby experience.

But in Europe, in any city, even in some small towns, there are two or more teams, and these teams represent different beliefs between different people in the same region.

Like the city of Mainz, it's not all Mainz fans, because there are also residents of the Black Forest state, as well as people from Trier.

In normal times, everyone is from Mainz, but once it's race day, they're Trier again.

These situations are prevalent in Liverpool, in Madrid, in Berlin, in Turin, everywhere in Europe.

That's the value for the derby.

The derby is all about gambling everything, proving that you are better than the other party, proving that you are the local hegemon, declaring sovereignty and promoting the team spirit.

Klopp walked into the locker room and patted the small blackboard: "Gentlemen, everyone must know what day it is, this game, only win, not lose, if you lose, then the person who performs poorly, just sit on the bench for me!" ”

Everyone felt a chill down their backs and shrunk their necks.

Klopp slapped the small blackboard: "The other party, make good use of the 352 lineup, their head coach Bauer Lindez is a well-known tactical expert in the Bundesliga, I don't want to say too much else, this week's training match has rehearsed all the fighters, out of the locker room, it is a duel of wills, everyone is ready!" ”

"Let's go!"

Mainz lined up in the players' tunnel, and the players on Trier's side also seemed not quiet, bouncing and jumping, with a look of eagerness to try.

Michael glanced to the side and grinned: "Mainz! ”

"Upgrade!"

shouted the slogan of a season, didn't have to think about it at all, and blurted it out directly, and the voice of the whole team of Mainz was uniform and magnificent.

Trier's No. 6 centre-back Harry Kort turned to look at the people on Mainz's side and shouted, "Trier! ”

"Pull them off!"

The referee turned around: "Gentlemen, be quiet, the game hasn't started yet!" ”

The referee is also a big head, logically speaking, the whole German B game is more polite, everyone will restrain their temper, try not to be angry balloons, so the referee has little work, and there is no need to deliberately control the emotions of both sides.

However, one of the few derbies this season, the Rhineland Palatinate derby, came to his attention.

Then, the German Football Association official walked over with two train of caddies.

Wang Zhen looked confused, this was the first time he had encountered a game that required a caddie to play.

Looking at the little boy beside him, more than one meter and four points, full of chestnut hair, and looking a little well-behaved, Wang Zhen lowered his head: "Are you a Mainz fan?" ”

The little boy nodded timidly.

Wang Zhen laughed: "Your first time as a caddy?" ”

"I'm the ...... of the echelon"

Wang Zhen was stunned.

In Mainz, with a population of only 178,000, where is there time to recruit so many caddies?

The caddies on the Mainz side are all players from the U10 and U13 teams, while the Trier side is full of students from schools in the Trier area.

In such a situation, the players on both sides will not be able to spray each other angrily, after all, there are still a bunch of children in the game, although these children may spray more than adults after the game starts, but after all, they have to play an exemplary role.

After the national anthem, the captains of both sides went to guess the edge.

Wang Zhen raised his head: "Frank! ”

Ribery looked sideways and saw Wang Zhen winking at him, so he gave a thumbs up and signaled that it was okay, he still remembered what he said last night.

Wang Zhencai looked back at the front court.

After a while, Michael walked back: "Tee off! ”

However, the referee signalled for the two sides to switch sides, and the Mainz players needed to leave the half where they were standing.

The sun is not big, and you don't blink your eyes, change sides?

Pure disgusting people.

From before the game even started, the two sides fought!
