There was something wrong with the background, and it was sent a little late.

――――――――――――――――――――

It's just a yellow card, after nine rounds of this season, Wang Zhen only has a yellow card, and it is impossible to get five yellow cards after accumulating this season.

After the game, the media also made their own assessment: "The master and apprentice have lost themselves in the victory, the humble Chinese have suddenly become very conceited recently, and Klopp is also very supportive of his disciple without any punishment." ”

However, the Frankfurter Zeitung gave a positive assessment: "Well, three weeks ago we said that Mainz was crazy without reason, and after these three weeks, we can only say that Mainz's current record is very strong." ”

Nineteen points from nine league games are third in the league, just behind Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen.

Bayern and Werder Bremen also won seven games, drew one and lost one, both with 22 points, and Bayern is at the top of the table on goal difference.

Mainz won six games, lost two games and drew one to accumulate 19 points, while Hamburg won five games, drew three and lost one with 18 points, so it was in fourth place.

In the first group head-to-head, Mainz won against Werder Bremen and lost to Hamburg, but they are yet to play Bayern.

In the entire league, the only one who can compete with Bayern on a total goal difference is Mainz.

On October 22, the tenth round of the league, Mainz went to Hertha Berlin to play.

Hertha Berlin is a strong team in the Bundesliga this year, but they did not perform very well in the first nine rounds of the league, winning four games, drawing two, losing to Bayern Munich and Bielefeld, and losing to Werder Bremen by a narrow goal.

In this game, the outside world unanimously agreed that Mainz would pass easily, the only difficulty was that it was Hertha Berlin's home game, Hertha Berlin won three of its four home games and lost one, only losing to Werder Bremen.

As a result, the process of the game was shattered.

The most surprising thing is that Wang Zhen was scheduled to take a turn to rest, and Klopp sent out the strikerless formation he had been pondering.

The so-called striker formation is actually a type of full offense and defense, all seven people in the front court participate in the attack, all can be dragged up to shoot, and the formation is a perverted 352 formation.

In the 11th minute of the game, Karankica helped the team to take the lead, 1-0.

After Karankika's goal, the tempo of the game went straight into Mainz's.

In the first minute of first-half stoppage time, Hank headed in a corner kick to make it 2-0.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Spasoye stepped forward to pick up the leak and scored the last goal of the game for Mainz.

Mainz won 3-0 against Hertha Berlin to win five consecutive league games, plus a draw with Stuttgart in the fifth round, and have gone six games unbeaten.

This kind of momentum already makes people feel numb.

What is even more surprising happened, Wang Zhen, who was resting in the league, actually made a comeback in the second round of the German Cup.

Mainz away against Osnabrück! This team was relegated to the third division last season!

On the same day, Mainz II won at home against Offenbach Kickers.

Jurgen Klopp actually let Bel Colin once again bring the reserves of the first team into the second team to win the game.

The result speaks for itself, Wang Zhen continued his crazy momentum, and also scored his first hat-trick in the German Cup, and got his fifth hat-trick in all competitions this season.

Mainz also won 4-1 away at Osnabrück, with the other Mainz player on the scoresheet being Ben Arfa, who once again performed a long-distance dribble before deflecting past the goalkeeper.

In the second team game, Modric and Ozil were naturally very eye-catching, but this time the most eye-catching were the substitute striker Claudius Webber and defender Berkzer of the previous first team.

Webb scored twice, Berkzer made a couple of key clearances, and Mainz won the Offenbach kickers without a fight.

It was just after this matchday that the draw for the group stage of the UEFA Cup came out.

On November 3, Mainz will play at home against Bayxita, the former capital of Turkey's largest city, Istanbul.

On November 24, Mainz flew to St. Petersburg, Russia, to play against Zenit St. Petersburg.

On December 1, Mainz won at home to Portuguese Premier League side Guimarães.

On 14 December, Mainz will travel to win away at English Premier League side Bolton.

Mainz was drawn in Group H, which is already a very advantageous group to be honest.

Looking at the matchups, Klopp immediately decided to go all out to grab points in the league.

The group stage of the League Cup is currently a single round-robin system, with five teams, playing against 12/13/14/15/23/24/25/34/35/45, a total of ten games, the top three in each group all enter the knockout round, and the third group eliminated from the Champions League group stage to form the round of 32.

In these four games, only Zenit St. Petersburg and Bolton are not strong opponents who are really a threat to Mainz.

Of course, the Premier League is generally stronger than the Russian Super League, but Bolton's recent record has been dismal, and no performance has been performed in the League Cup.

Mainz only need four points from these four games to secure a place in qualifying.

Of course, in this strange format, there may also be extreme situations, such as all four teams with one win, two draws and one defeat to accumulate five points or something, but that is only a theoretical possibility.

Jurgen Klopp's strategy is to try to crush opponents in the first two games to buy time off for the league.

There is only one problem, and that is two days after the away game against Zenit, on November 26, Mainz will travel to take on direct rivals Bayern Munich in the half-time title.

In other words, in this period of competition, Mainz will have a choice.

All-main against Zenit, or all-main against Bayern Munich.

In these two games, it is impossible to split and use half of the main force to win the battle, which is tantamount to giving up the points of two games at the same time.

The crux of the matter is how many league points Mainz can grab before this round of league games, and whether it is possible to win the winter window.

On October 31, at this crucial moment, Mainz welcomed Nuremberg at home.

Jurgen Klopp used a semi-main line-up against Nuremberg, as Beksita will be visiting Mainz in four days' time.

After Wang Zhen rested for a round, he scored a goal again, the second team performed well, and Webb, who was promoted to the first team, also scored a goal.

Mainz won 2-1 at home to visiting Nuremberg.

At the same time, Bayern lost!

Mainz tied Bayern Munich with 25 points and ranked second in the league on goal difference!

Next, the UEFA Cup will be played at home to Beckitas in the Turkish Super League on November 3, the 12th round of the league will be away to Hannover 96 on November 5, the home win will be against close rivals Eintracht Frankfurt on November 19, the UEFA Cup will be against Zenit St. Petersburg on November 24, and Bayern Munich will be away on November 26.

First three matches a week, and then consecutive away games against Zenit and Bayern Munich.

The media shouted: "The devil's schedule, the rising star Mainz has finally met an opponent, not one, not two, but a series of games." ”

"Every game is against a very strong opponent and a very dense schedule."

"Jurgen Klopp has accumulated a lot of midfielders before the season, which is a very smart choice now, but how much energy can Klopp give them?"

"In the league cup, Wang Zhen, who has scored 29 goals crazily, can he still be hot in continuous battles?"

"Mainz, you're in big trouble!"
