This is a bit new, what kind of door will the club ask me to open? Zhuo Yang, who is not yet eighteen years old, has never received such a formal meeting notice in his life, and he has never held any formal meetings. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info used to be held by others, such as the school's parent-teacher conference.

In the small conference room in the three-story building in the blue baroque style, not many people came. Chairman Mullen, Jurgen Klopp, Hasler, Mertesacker, and then there's Zhuo Yang. Miss Sylvia took notes on the sidelines. Today's meeting was proposed by Jurgen Klopp because the manager has some new ideas for the team.

The team is currently in very good form in the league and everything is going well. Whoever is still worried about relegation must be crazy and should put a pig cage immersed in canal water to restore him to normal. Jurgen Klopp's new idea comes from the FA Cup.

The team beat Unterhachen to reach the quarter-finals in the FA Cup, becoming the only non-first-division team, and Madiburg is the biggest dark horse in this year's FA Cup. With the exception of Madiburg, this year's FA Cup is still quite strong, with six of the seven First Division teams currently at the top of the league and only one team still facing relegation pressure, which is Madibourg's next opponent in the FA Cup - Kaiserslautern.

"Kaiserslautern is of course very strong and has done miracles in the past. However, they have not been in great shape this season and are currently just one point above the relegation zone and sit fourth from bottom. Jurgen Klopp gave an overview of his opponent.

"Judging from this situation, Kaiserslautern is unlikely to work hard in the FA Cup, there will be reservations, and it is even possible to give up the FA Cup and spend all his energy on league relegation."

"If that's the case, our chance for Madiburg has come."

"Now we don't have the pressure of relegation and we can go for it in the FA Cup. Of course, we can't just leave the league alone, but try to improve the rankings, because it's about the overall commercial development of the club. ”

'If we can get past Kaiserslautern and get to the last four of the FA Cup, then you can see.' Klopp pointed to the situation analysis chart hanging from the sketchpad. "In addition to Kaiserslautern, the quarter-finals include Bayern Munich, Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund, Werder Bremen, Hamburg and Hertha Berlin. These six teams are currently neatly placed in the top six in the First Division, do you understand what that means? ”

Klopp tapped on the blackboard and began to make highlights. "That means if Madiborg makes it to the last four, we could play in the UEFA Cup next season and we have a chance to go to Europe!"

.

There are two major continental club cups in European football, the Champions Cup and the Confederations Cup. Each season, each member country has a number of teams participating in the competition according to different places. In Germany specifically, the top three teams in the first division go to the UEFA Cup, while the fourth to sixth places and the FA Cup winners go to the UEFA Cup. If the FA Cup winner is also a top-three finisher in the First Division, then his UEFA Cup place will be replaced by the FA Cup runners-up. If the champions and runners-up are both in the top three or six of the league and have the Champions Cup or League Cup qualification, the league places with byes will be pushed down according to the FA Cup position. While this is not a dead rule and sometimes a seventh-place finisher in the league or a Fair Play Award winner can also get a prize for the League Cup, that is not the norm.

This year, if Madiburg reach the last four of the FA Cup, and the other three seasons qualify for the Champions Cup or the Confederations Cup, then Madibo is likely to take shit to pick up the only Confederations Cup spot in the FA Cup.

"Guys, it's really possible for us to go to Europe! Aren't you excited? Klopp said healed, his eyes lit up, and the spittle sprayed all over Mertesacker's head. You guys. Do you want to go to Europe? ”

'If I can play in the League Cup next season, I think I can postpone my retirement for a year.' Hasler was the first to speak.

Bantam has not made a decision on whether to hang up his boots this year, and he is a little hesitant. This year's relegation is not a problem, and he has finally retained his reputation. It stands to reason that he is also very old, and he should accept it when he sees it, and he has been wasting the rest of his life without shame since then. However, the whole club is actively trying to keep him, hoping that he will continue for another year. Because the Bantam is so important to the current youth army of Madiburg, his wealth of experience just makes up for the lack of young people. With bantam tigers, Zhuo Yang will take a lot of detours and grow up more rapidly.

If Zhuo Yang is the tactical core of the Madiburg team, then Hasler is the well-deserved spiritual leader of the Madiburg team!

Madiburg is a small club, and it does not have the strength and experience of a big club to fight on two fronts, nor does it have the staffing to fight on two fronts. Now that the club has decided to change its strategic focus for the season in the face of the temptation of the UEFA Cup, the most important thing is to have the support of the team's core players, which cannot be avoided by the team's three captains. That's why the club convened this small but core meeting at the behest of Jurgen Klopp.

.

"I support the club to go all out to hit the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and the league can be relaxed a little bit, but it will not affect the overall situation." Mertesacker also explained his attitude. "Relegation in the league is naturally not a problem, even if we don't use our best in the next seven games, it will not have much impact, after all, our current main squad is enough to drink a pot of the next opponent even if they take turns." Mertesacker's words show that the vice-captain is still very good at thinking.

"And it's almost impossible for us to make a historic breakthrough in the league, because those three teams have been so consistent this year and have now left the teams behind them a lot. We can't catch up! After Mertesacker finished speaking, several others agreed with his words. No one is a brainless wooden peg, and almost all of them have analyzed the current situation of the team.

The top three teams in the third division were promoted to the second division, and the bottom three were relegated to the fourth division, Northland United. In this season's third division, the three teams of Osnabruck, Unterhaching, and Ergerberg have been out of the dust from the beginning, firmly holding the top three, at most, they are switching positions back and forth, and other teams have no chance to get involved. Even third-placed Ergerberg is now six points clear of fourth, a huge margin with seven rounds remaining. What's more, the three teams are so stable that there have been no significant ups and downs.

Almost half of these three teams have already stood in the door of the second division, and the other teams have no strength to oppose it.
