Zhuo Yang led the team into the field, which attracted a huge cheer from the Hannover fans, and this was not Victor, but the home stadium of Hannover 96 - AD Arena. The opening game of the new year after the winter break in Madiburg is the quarter-finals of the German FA Cup against local side Hannover 96.

The relationship between Hannover 96 fans and Madiburg fans is very harmonious, and the boundaries between them are not clear, and there is a high degree of integration between them. Although last summer caused a rift between the fans of the two teams due to the transfer of 'traitor' Mario Gomez, on the whole, it is quite close, and it is by no means like a blood feud like other city derbys.

The cheers were given to Zhuo Yang, to the freshly baked Mr. Golden Globe of Europe, who was the darling of the whole city of Hannover, and the Golden Globe was the glory of the whole city.

There are only three official matches between Madiburg and Hannover 96 in history, after all, the two sides were too far apart in the past, and it was necessary to rely on considerable fate to meet, and the three games were of course lost by Madiburg, and Madiburg was not in the eyes of Hannover 96 in those years.

Now the situation is completely different, except that in the city the history of Hannover 96 belongs to the city, and all the limelight is taken by Madiburg. Only the newcomers laughed, and who remembered the old people crying, the football world is so realistic, and now the citizens of Hannover, who have gathered around Madiburg, have surpassed it.

It is precisely because of such a flowery and aggressive upward momentum in Madiburg that Hannover 96 has to change its strategic direction of accumulating food and slowing down its dominance, and try to return to the Bundesliga in the shortest possible time at all costs. If I continue like this, the territory of the city of Hanover will be completely owned by Madiburg.

However, the re-entry strategy of Hannover 96 did not go well.

Last summer, Hannover 96 used the 14 million earned from the sale of Gomez, plus part of the original family funds, a total of nearly 20 million in the transfer market, which is very prominent even if it is put into the Bundesliga. As a result, a large number of good players with the strength of the Bundesliga flocked to come, and at the same time, some of the original team of the strength of the veteran also chose to return, the echelon production is vigorous and gratifying, Hannover 96 is completely equipped with the Bundesliga, the age structure of the old, middle and young is very reasonable.

Many Bundesliga commentators say that Hannover 96 will directly play the Bundesliga with the current lineup, and there is no problem with relegation, and it is firmly in the middle of the standings. They were regarded by everyone as the first favorites before the season, and they were booked for a promotion spot in advance.

But no one thought that after the start of the new season of the German Second Division, Hannover 96 performed stumbling all the way, sometimes beating the strong team, sometimes unexpectedly losing slightly, and sometimes being inexplicably flat. Halfway through the schedule, Hannover 96 is only sixth in the standings with 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, accumulating 24 points, 8 points away from the third place Cottages in the promotion zone, and 13 points away from the top Aachen.

The club's top management used the reason that the team failed to advance after the big change to appease the fans, and assured that in the second half of the season, they will definitely fight back and swear not to rush to the Bundesliga. So, the fans had no choice but to believe it. After fooling the fans, the club put all the pressure on head coach Ewald Linen.

After the relegation of Hannover 96 the year before last, the big-mouthed coach who brought the team to relegation in the first few rounds of the German Second Division picked his son and left, and the former Kaiserslautern meritorious defender, the Danish star who had to choose to retire after Zhuo Yanghuang's broken leg, and Hannover 96 assistant coach Schjungberg, became the team's interim firefighting coach, and two weeks later, Ewald Lining officially took office.

Now, Michel Schwynberg is the coach of Hannover's 96 youth team, and he has been here for more than two years and three years, and he has not met the culprit Zhuo Yang much.

Coach Lining is also a little confused about the team's neurotic performance, there is no problem with the tactical arrangement or anything, and there are few suspensions without illness or disaster, but the team is just a good game and a bad game, and even the first and second halves are diametrically opposed, as if they have eaten something dirty, otherwise it cannot be explained at all.

He is under a lot of pressure right now, and if the team does not make it to the Bundesliga this season, he will definitely not get out of Hannover alive, and the huge investment of the club has gone down the drain, and many players come with a special clause in their contracts: if they cannot be promoted this season, the player will have the right to leave freely.

If something like this happens, Hannover fans will eat themselves raw, Hannover 96 will fall apart, and if you want to fight to the death in the same way, how can there be so many Gomez to sell? Even if there were, how could there be such a generous buyer as Madibourg? According to last year's German internal market, 10 million was a wall for Gomez.

Hannover 96's focus this season is definitely the Bundesliga, the FA Cup is completely dispensable, but I don't know if this fortune telling is good or bad, they have not encountered any strong teams in the first few rounds, and the most powerful opponent is the last round of the German B team Offenbach, but even if Offen is still on the bench. In this way, Hannover 96 couldn't shake off his hands if he wanted to, which was equivalent to being carried by the opponent all the way to the quarterfinals in a sedan chair and sent to Madiburg.

Originally, Hannover 96 was also going to be a substitute to play whichever counts, but the opponent became Madiburg, so it couldn't be according to the original plan, and it had to be played in the main force, because Hannover 96 had to be faced.

This is the first derby between the two teams since the rise of Madiburg, for their own status in the city, in order to compete for fans and market share, for the traditional image of the city since ancient times, Hannover 96 dare not fight. But they also know that there is a gap in strength between themselves and the now prosperous Madibourg, and the neighbors are really going to be ruthless, and they don't expect to be able to leave any good fruit to eat, and the desolation of the Red Devils and Manchester United is vividly remembered throughout Europe. Therefore, the senior management of Hannover 96 Club explained to head coach Lining: This game can be lost, but it can't be too ugly.

In the same way as Hannover 96, Madiburg naturally does not want to lose, and the city derby is never the time to learn from Lei Feng. Of course, if you really want to lose, Madibao will not be unable to think about it, the two sides are not at the same level, and the birds know the ambition of the birds!

However, Madiburg is basically the main player today, I don't want to lose, and more importantly, the second half of the schedule is intensive, important events one after another, the Champions Cup knockout round is not a joke, Madiburg needs to use this game to pull the state of the main players. After a winter break and exhausted, it was time for the mules and horses to walk their legs.

It's just that although there is competition between teams in the same city, whether it is from the club level or the individual players, the relationship between Madiburg and Hannover 96 is very good, not to mention the 'blood' relationship between Gomez, nor the Hannover natives such as Mad Dog Rand and Hammer Ackerman, even Zhuo Yang is good friends with the neighbor's goalkeeper Enke, and their fan leader Bald Cliffor, he and Zhuo Yang are so familiar that they can't be more familiar, and they follow up their own home when they go to the second floor.

There are many good people in Madiburg, in view of these factors, everyone's unanimous idea is: it is not a problem to lose, as long as you don't lose too much, of course it is best to win, but don't bully people too much, the villagers, save some face for others.

But football is round, and many things are not transferred by human will at all, and this game is a big surprise to everyone.
