May 21.

Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

The 75,000-seat stands are already full.

CCTV broadcast an unplanned match - the final of the German Cup.

"Audience friends, today we are bringing you the final of the 2010-11 German Cup, against Ketbus and Schalke 04, and I and Coach Tao Wei will explain it to you on the spot." Duan Yixuan turned on the microphone.

"Hello everyone." Tao Wei sat beside him.

"Now that we're half an hour before the start of the game, let's take a look at the recent table of the two teams." Duan Yixuan opened the folder in front of him.

Under the leadership of Shao Jiayi and Qin Goode, Cottages won consecutive games in the early stages of the league, which can be regarded as a triumphant progress, laying the foundation early, and once ranked second in the standings. Although they were absent from the league for two months due to the Asian Cup schedule, Cottages still achieved very good results in the end: 56 points in the league, tied for fourth with Hannover 96, which not only set the best result in the team's history, but also qualified for next season's Europa League. Duan Yixuan smiled happily.

"Cottages can achieve the best results in history, I have to say that two Chinese players have played a huge role, Shao Jiayi and Qin Goode combined to contribute 17 goals and 21 assists to the team, participated in 38 goals, can be called a great credit," Tao Wei saw Ketbus's progress this season, so he was also full of praise, "It's a pity that they have reduced their appearances in the second half due to the Asian Cup and fitness problems, and the whole team seems a little weak because of injuries and bench depth, Only then did it gradually fall out of the Champions League zone. ”

"And the other team is Schalke 04, the defending champion of the league last season," Duan Yixuan took out another material, "Limited by the two-line battle, Schalke fell at the beginning of the league, and finally only ranked 14th in the standings, only three points more than the relegation zone, and it was not until the penultimate round of the league that the relegation was confirmed, such a table is a bit embarrassing for the identity of the defending champion." However, they have beaten strong opponents all the way to the last four in the Champions League, including beating last season's reigning Champions League champions Inter Milan 7-2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals. As a result, Hao Jun became the second Chinese player to participate in the Champions League and gained valuable experience in the competition. ”

"In this season, due to the conflict between the league schedule and the national team breakday, as well as the tactical arrangements of their respective teams, the three Chinese players have not officially competed on the field, but today all three of them were in the starting lineup at the same time, so this is definitely a Chinese derby!" Tao Wei's voice was full of smiles.

What he said was actually a bit subtle, in fact, because it was difficult for Hao Jun to get a chance to play in Schalke......

"Haha, haha......" Duan Yixuan was a little out of his mouth, "probably in order to take care of the Chinese audience, the German side decided to advance the kick-off time of the game by two hours a week in advance, so our current instant ratings are not inferior to the Champions League final at all, please allow me to express my gratitude to the German Football Association on behalf of all the staff of CCTV." ”

After finishing the joke, Duan Yixuan also heard the director's prompt in the headset, he coughed slightly, smiled slightly, and began the final warm-up before the official start of the game:

"Shao Jiayi, Qin Goode, and Hao Jun, these three are the only remaining Chinese players who can play in mainstream European leagues, and they are also the three main attacking forces that we can win the Asian Cup. Coach Tao, who do you think is more sure on both sides? ”

"From the point of view of strength, there is no doubt that Schalke 04 is stronger," Tao Wei said eloquently, "For example, their goalkeeper Neuer is not only the new generation of goalkeepers of the German national team, but also known as the strongest goalkeeper in Germany after Kahn, after this game, he will transfer to Bayern Munich, the hegemon of the Bundesliga, and the future is limitless." There is also Draxler on the bench, who was born in 1993 and is not yet 18 years old, but he has shown great potential in this season, which is another talented player that Schalke has cultivated. In addition to these two future stars, Schalke's starting line-up certainly can't ignore the notorious attackers of Raul, Huntelaar and Farfan, as well as midfield engine Jurado, each of whom has the ability to decide the game. ”

"On the other hand, Petbus, whether it is a forward line or a defensive line, the reputation and strength of the players are far inferior to Schalke, and they may not even find a player worth more than 2 million in their lineup......" Tao Wei shrugged, and then continued to analyze, "But it is precisely because of the small scale of this team and the overall strength that our two players can occupy a main position......

He was about to say more, but was interrupted by Duan Yixuan's cough.

"The players on both sides are already waiting in the players' tunnel, and we can see that the three Chinese players are also greeting each other, and we can see that the relationship between them is very friendly," Duan Yixuan officially entered the state of live commentary, "but after a few minutes, can they still be so warm and friendly with each other?" ”-

As Tauvet said, Schalke 04's line-up for this game is very eye-catching throughout Europe.

Real Madrid's eternal flag, the eternal prince of the Bernabeu, the 'Lord of the Rings', the Champions League goalscorer, 34-year-old Raul Gonzalez led the attacking line, and another Real Madrid outcast, 28-year-old Dutch high-performance goalscorer Klaas Jan Huntelaar, joined him. Behind them on the left is Colombia's wide strongman and assist king Hefersen Farfan, while Hao Jun occupies a position on the right.

The third from Real Madrid's academy, but made a name for himself at Atletico Madrid and joined for 13 million, Jose Jurado sits in the midfield as a commander, and the hard-working defensive midfielder Bill Kluge is his most comfortable defensive partner.

Standing in front of captain Manuel Neuer is their defensive stalwarts, 30-year-old centre-back Metzeld, who has moved from Real Madrid with Raul this season, and his partner is 19-year-old Kyriakos Papadopoulos, 22-year-old Hevedes and 34-year-old Sarpe, who have a wealth of experience and a youthful body.

As many as four of the starting 11 players came from Real Madrid, and they did quickly settle down after joining the team, so it is not unreasonable to say that "Real Madrid's products must be high-quality". The experience at Real Madrid has also given these players a wealth of experience, especially in the major tournaments and finals, which is not comparable to that of Ivbus, which gives them a sense of composure and no nervousness about a mere German Cup final.

If you have to talk about weaknesses, then the age difference between the players on this defense line is indeed too big, the old is old, and the young are small......

In the starting lineup, Hao Jun's transfer value of 2.5 million euros is not the lowest, but the Chinese players who only make 12 appearances in a season and only 6 starts are obviously not as reassuring as those who make 30 appearances in the two-line battle, and he can squeeze out the new star of German football, Julian Draxler, I am afraid it is more because of off-field factors.

But in any case, the gathering of three Chinese players, and the final of the German Cup, is enough to make the domestic media and spectators excited and expectant.

This Chinese derby kicked off like this.
