Saturday, November 16, 2002, light rain. Pen Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info Madiburg away against Ledingen.

The German Football Division C is a national league, unlike the fourth division and below, which is semi-professional or amateur, and the third division is already a fully professional league. At the end of each season, the top three are promoted to the second division and the bottom three are relegated to the fourth division.

Ledingen is also an established club, having spent most of the last few decades hovering around the second division, and at good times it can rush to the Bundesliga, and if you are not careful, you may go to the Bundesliga for a while. The strength of the Ledingen team is decent, with 18 teams, and he is currently in eighth place, with 21 points from 14 games, 5 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses. It's a bit difficult to upgrade, but it's basically worry-free to downgrade.

Ledingen is not too far from Hanover, also in northern Germany, more than two hours by car. The whole team arrived at the away stadium on the club bus.

The game started in the afternoon, and after the warm-ups were over, Klopp made the final pre-match mobilisation in the visitors' dressing room.

To be honest, Klopp doesn't have much in mind about the new tactics, although he is very confident that the technical control flow of play will be the trend of the future, but everything still has to be tested on the field. The opponent in this game is not weak, it is a veteran club that has been in the professional league for more than half a century, can Zhuo Yang and a few of the little guys who have just come up from the youth team adapt? There is a qualitative difference between professional and semi-professional teams, and there is a world of difference between professional and semi-professional players.

Klopp couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, what if he encountered an unfavorable situation? Klopp looked at Zhuo Yang, and suddenly felt a lot more steady.

This Chinese boy has always been able to pull off miracles and break the ice in incredible ways in a scorching situation. He's the kind of genius who can decide a game with a flash of inspiration. Perhaps, Zhuo Yang is a gift from heaven to Madiburg and I, Klopp.

Moreover, this little guy has a big heart that is completely inconsistent with his age, and his nerves are so vast that he doesn't seem to know what fear and nervousness are, and he was born for big scenes. Looking at Zhuo Yang, who was squeezing his eyebrows with the little pig, Klopp was reassured.

After repeating the details to be aware of in the game, Klopp added: "There are still 20 rounds of the league and we have four points now. I did the math and at the end of the season we had 40 points, so we were almost relegated. In other words, in the remaining twenty games, we are going to try to get 36 points. ”

In fact, in a normal year, getting about 33 points is enough to be relegated, and Klopp obviously played some reservations.

When Chairman Mullen and Jurgen Klopp were in talks, the minimum requirement for a new coach was relegation. At this point, Klopp has no problem and he is confident that he will get there.

"36 points, which means we have to win 12 of those games, and we have to win at least nine of them." Klopp carefully counted the accounts for everyone. "We have 17 teams in the third division, and we have to try to beat all the teams below the fifth place. Today's opponent, Ledingen, is now in eighth place and we ......"

As Klopp was talking, he saw Zhuo Yang raise his hand high and keep shaking.

"Zhuo, do you have anything to say?" Klopp wondered: What does this kid want to do?

Zhuo Yang said to Klopp: "Well, sir, I have a question. There are still twenty games with a total of 60 points. I would like to ask what is the final 64 points? ”

"I think we should be able to make it to the top three." Klopp was even more puzzled, what did it do now.

Zhuo Yang slapped his fist excitedly: "Isn't that over, as long as we win these twenty games, won't we go to the second division?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The little pig is Zhuo Yang's follower, and he feels justified in whatever Zhuo Yang says.

Jurgen Klopp: "......"

Hasler: "......"

Klopp thought to himself: You think the game is arithmetic, if it is so simple, why should I bother this old nose to work hard.

Hassler thought to himself: Is this kid a mallet? If you can keep the grade, that is, you have burned high incense for Jesus, and you will also be in the second grade, do you know that the door of the second grade is open to that side?

Let Zhuo Yang interrupt like this, Klopp's earnest teachings can't go on, he scratched his messy hair with his hand, and simply waved his hand: "Go!" ”

The stadium in Ledingen can accommodate 30,000 people, and at the moment the stands are almost full, and there are about 26,700 people, all of whom are Ledingen fans. In the third division, there are very few away fans who travel with the team, not to mention that the small club Madiburg does not have many die-hard loyalists.

After Zhuo Yang came to the first team, he still picked out the No. 18 jersey that happened to be vacant. Piggy is No. 28, Mertesacker 30, Montolivo 27, Ribery 29, and De Jong is simply No. 40.

The Ledingen team is full of confidence in this game, Madiburg is a favorite point machine, and the dishes are not ordinary. The club also heard that Madiburg had just changed a new coach who was too young to talk about, and that five or six young players had been brought in from the youth team. In Ledingen's view, Madiborg is giving up the rhythm of the season and training new players for next season's divisional league in advance. Therefore, the Ledingen team didn't take Madiburg seriously at all, this is the money boy who came to give us the winning prize and the goal bonus. The whole team thought more about where to go at night.

Intelligence work is very important, ignoring information gathering, not being able to know oneself and the enemy, and Ledingen does not know how he died.

The game starts with Madiburg kicking off. The referee's whistle blew and Bantam Hassler nudged the ball to Ribery and Scar passed it back to Piggy Schweinsteiger. Zhuo Yang wore spiked sneakers, kicked on the soft turf, and ran to the frontcourt.

Piggy takes the ball forward, suddenly kicks the ball up, and passes it to the Bantam Tiger at the edge of the penalty area. Hasler was short in stature and was squeezed by the opposing defender to get the ball, and the defender stepped out first to push the ball back. The football just flew to the piglet, a good Schweinsteiger, passed with a foot in the air, and directly pushed the football in the air with the arch of his foot to Zhuo Yang, who was inserted four or five meters in front of the top of the arc.

Zhuo Yang turned his back to the goal, saw the height of the incoming ball, gently swiped his toes on the ground, and stopped the football to the right side of his body with his chest, and then took his right foot as the axis, quickly turned to the right, took a small step forward, and then raised his left leg, without waiting for the football to land, directly volleyed with his left foot, the whole set of actions was done in one go, and the posture was beautiful.

The ball flew in a wonderful arc through the air, flew over a distance of 22 meters, and went over the outstretched palm of the goalkeeper and into the upper left corner of the gate. The score was 1:0, and in less than 30 seconds of the opening period, Madiburg took the lead.

Looking at the Madiburg players who ran to the bench to celebrate, the players of Ledingen stood in the light rain and were disorganized: it must be an illusion, an absolute illusion.
