Chapter 215: I Shouldn't Have Offended Him!
Miller Gateball Stadium. Wild Sand Literature Network
The players from both sides entered the pitch in turn, the two captains guessed the coin, and Werder Bremen won the kick-off, and then the players took their positions and waited for the game to begin.
The fans in the stands around were also holding their breath and waiting for the kick-off moment.
Most of the fans who entered the MΓΌller Gate Stadium to watch the game were St. Pauli fans wearing the home team's jerseys, and there were some Bremen fans of the visiting team in the west and south stands, and their number was also quite large, probably nearly 5,000 people, probably thanks to the fact that Bremen and Hamburg were relatively close, and Bremen fans drove a little longer.
The north side grandstand is special.
Compared with the other three directions, the north side of the stand has the least number of seats, less than half of the east side of the stand, and there are some fans wearing the home team's jersey, but there are also some people who are not wearing jerseys, they are neutral fans.
Neutral fans are scattered.
Some are tourists from abroad, travelers who come to Hamburg to experience the atmosphere of football, some are fans of other teams, just to watch a key battle, and some are special groups that support the stars alone, such as a large number of Chinese and Chinese students, who came to support Zhen Shaolong's game.
In the back row of the north side stands, there are two inconspicuous shadows.
One is a middle-aged man with curly hair and an exaggerated big nose; The other one is younger, but there is severe hair loss on the head, and the two eyes look serious and shrewd.
If there is a British football journalist, you may be able to recognize the curly-haired middle-aged man, who is none other than John Aldridge, a famous former international player and former Liverpool striker.
Another middle-aged man with hair loss is Liverpool's chief scout David Moss.
The two of them are not too famous, and they will not be recognized when they walk on the street, maybe they don't take it seriously, and they don't need to dress up for anything, but they watched the game together, and the purpose was obviously to inspect the players.
David Moss was saying, "John, thank you for coming with me, and to complain, I really don't want to make a trip to Hamburg, especially when it won't work out." β
Aldridge kept looking at the field, shook his head and said, "It's really difficult, Liverpool is not that attractive, but let's just come and investigate and report it truthfully." β
David Morse shrugged.
David Moss is Liverpool's chief scout, and the purpose of coming is of course to inspect the players, and the object of the inspection is Zhen Shaolong on the field.
If Zhen Shaolong is still in the St. Pauli youth team, David Morse doesn't mind a trip, digging out young talent is his favorite job, but Zhen Shaolong is already in the first place in the Bundesliga goalscorer, and almost scored three times more than the second place.
Does this 'goal machine' still need to be examined?
David Moss is quite dissatisfied with Liverpool coach Benitez, and he doesn't know how to come up with a player who is about to become the top league player after more than a dozen league games.
Also, what is the use of the expedition?
Liverpool's forward line is indeed lacklustre, but it's only November, and it's almost impossible to bring in a top player in the winter, and the top management of St. Pauli will sell their best hand in the winter unless they are all brain-dead.
So this trip is tantamount to running in vain.
David Moss can't help it, his job is to serve the club, the head coach is bigger than him, he can only compromise and go to Hamburg.
He brought in Aldrich in the hope that Aldrich would give him some advice.
While it's impossible to bring in a top striker in a winter transfer, what could be a chance next summer?
The premise is that the number 13 on the field is good enough.
In David Morse's complaint, the referee blew the whistle and the game on the field officially began.
Werder Bremen took advantage of the kick-off and put up a tough formation, with two players on the left, Frings and Owomoyela, passing the ball to each other three times in a row, St. Pauli's right was instantly breached, and then Frings handed the ball to Borowski in the middle.
When Borowski got the ball, he was already in front of the zone.
As the football passed, the surrounding stands rang out with the exclamations of St. Pauli fans, but Borowski did not go straight to the goal, but instead kicked the ball into the right zone.
Klose is about to finish when he keeps up!
"Look at this foot!"
"Klose!"
The TV commentators all exclaimed, but fortunately, Sulentik, who was retreating, ran over in time to meet Klose's feet, and the football was hit high and bounced high, and Jean cleared the bottom line.
"Hoo ......"
The surrounding stands let out a sigh of fear.
The TV commentator also shouted, "The game has just begun, and the first wave of Bremen's offensive has entered the St. Pauli zone, but fortunately, Sulentik retreated in time and did not let Klose succeed, otherwise Bremen is likely to score quickly!" β
"This wave of attacks can see how good Bremen's form is, on the left side, Frinsga Owomoyela, the two have been teammates for many years, and they cooperate very well, and Borowski's cushion pass is also very beautiful......
"Let's take a look at this corner ...... Bremen"
Frings' corner fell to the middle of the block and was cleanly picked off by goalkeeper Honarev, before St. Pauli launched a counter-attack, but the ball was tackled across the halfway line, and Werder Bremen continued to attack.
This wave of offensive lasted a bit long.
Werder Bremen threatened twice in the middle, won two corners, and launched a series of bombardments against the St. Pauli district, which made St. Pauli fans fear being scored, but also showed Werder Bremen's strength.
They are really strong.
This season's Werder Bremen is stronger than last season, the core Diego Ribas is the biggest improvement, his performance is stable and very, he appeared on the right side of the game, and the fullback Walm revitalized the right side, and there are two big players on the left side, Werder Bremen really played on both wings, and the continuous offensive on the side made St. Pauli feel like it is difficult to parry.
The game lasted seven minutes and the football was at the feet of Werder Bremen for most of the time.
St. Pauli was completely suppressed.
Deutsche Telekom's commentator couldn't help but sigh, "Just look at the opening stage of the game, you can know how big the gap between the two teams is, Werder Bremen has a strong lineup, and they have also played a very good form in recent times......"
"They also expressed their belief in victory before the game, vowing to avenge their elimination in the German Cup last season......
Meantime.
The Bremen fans in the stands also frantically cheered for the team, because Bremen performed strongly, and their shouts even overpowered the home team St. Pauli fans.
St. Pauli fans are starting to get worried.
They didn't expect the team to beat Werder Bremen, even if they lost, they enjoyed the process of cheering on the team, but looking at the opening of the game, they all had a feeling that the team was about to be beaten by a big score.
It's too passive.
Behind the north stands, Aldridge also said to Moss, "Maybe we'll go for nothing, the two teams are not at the same level at all, and it's hard for him to perform in this kind of game." β
David Moss nodded, "Let's take a closer look, you don't have to look at him, other players can also look at it, such as St. Pauli's midfielder Sulentik, his defense is very good, maybe he can partner Gerrard." β
Aldrich pouted.
Sulentik's defensive performance is really good, but to say that he is partnered with Gerrard, it is definitely a bit too much, even if he can enter Liverpool, he can only be a fringe player to supplement the squad.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the game on the field is very intense, and Werder Bremen is very strong, but in comparison with Liverpool's strength, the strong Werder Bremen is nothing.
Their so-called strong offensive was against St. Pauli's porous defence.
If the opponent is Liverpool, it will be completely different.
Of course, most of them are not from the perspective of the giants, they feel that Bremen are strong, and many are proud of Bremen's strength.
The same goes for Werder Bremen boss Schaaf.
The domestic competition is compared to the opponent, Bremen is quite strong on the field, completely suppressed the home team St. Pauli, the performance is still worthy of recognition, Schaff looked at the game and nodded, the player's performance basically met the requirements, what he hoped for was to play the effect of 'flying with both wings'.
Frings on the left.
Diego on the right.
The two wings are active, the middle is constantly supported, and there are Klose and Krasnic in the middle, so scoring goals is completely fine.
Then it's a matter of time.
As Schaaf nodded in satisfaction with the performance, St. Pauli finally grabbed the ball and launched a steady attack.
The offensive was led by Bol.
Bol and Sulentic cooperated, and then handed the ball to Kezmore, who took more than ten meters forward, and then passed the ball to Bor, Bol glanced at Zhen Shaolong's position, found that he was closely defended, and immediately passed forward to Luz.
Lutz stood on the district line with his back to the goal, squeezing the opposing player, and when he saw Zhen Shaolong running to answer, he returned the ball to Zhen Shaolong, and the distance between him and Zhen Shaolong was only a short five meters, and he was just in front of Zhen Shaolong.
It's a very ordinary short pass.
According to the normal logic of thinking, Zhen Shaolong will either take the ball himself or pass it to others, but the choice he made made made many people grow up in surprise.
Zhen Shaolong swung his right foot at the ball!
"Bang!"
Twenty-five meters away from the goal, there were tall teammates blocking the front, and the surrounding defense was very dense, Zhen Shaolong met the ball with a kick.
At that moment, Luz was wooden.
He carefully recalled the memories of the past two days, what he said to Zhen Shaolong, and what exchanges he had with Zhen Shaolong.
"I shouldn't have offended him!" Lutz came to this conclusion, but immediately questioned again, "Is he this door?" You're not here for me? β
Luz's brain was only working for a moment, and then a wind sounded in his ears, and he was scared into a cold sweat, "Oh! Sure enough, it kicked me! Luckily, I didn't hit the shot! β
In Luz's depressed heart, everyone else followed the flight of the football and looked over, but it did not include goalkeeper Wiese, Luz was in front of Zhen Shaolong, blocking Zhen Shaolong at the same time, but also helping to block Wiese's sight.
Wei Ze also felt that Zhen Shaolong would pass the ball.
After waiting for more than a second, he didn't notice that the football was on the left and right, but the reaction of the others was a little strange, and when Wiese looked up blankly, he saw the football rushing towards the goal on the left.
"!"
Wiese panicked and immediately pounced in that direction, but his reaction was too slow, and the ball took an early step and flew into the goal against the post.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
