Chapter 053: A Good Lesson for the Berliners (Part 2)

Hertha Berlin was founded in 1892, earlier than Bayern Munich, Borussia Mönchenglad and Borussia Dortmund, but the team's honor room was empty, the team only became the German champion twice in the thirties of the last century, but at that time German football did not enter the professional league stage, and in the German Cup, Hertha Berlin never won a trophy, the team only won the German League Cup twice in 2001 and 2002. And despite qualifying Hertha Berlin at the start of the Bundesliga, the team, which has not attracted good players, has been playing a supporting role in the league and has been away from the top flight for a long time.

Berlin football really has no glorious memory, it has been staggering for too long, and the result is:

After 16 rounds of the Bundesliga this season, Hertha Berlin ranked 7th in the league with 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, accumulating 25 points, which made Hertha Berlin fans very excited and proud:

They are just seven points clear of fourth-placed Borussia Mönchengladbach and two points behind sixth-placed Schalke 04, and next season's Europa League hopes are high and Champions League qualification is not out of the question.

The Berliner Zeitung cheers for Hertha Berlin's pride: "It's been a fantastic season, the lads are doing well. The newspaper also used Manchester United, who was in dire straits, to cheer for the team, "We have the same points as Manchester United in the Premier League, the same number of goals scored, and the same number of goals conceded......"

The media in Berlin are cheering on Hertha Berlin, calling for a home win over second-placed Borussia Dortmund in the final game before the winter break, giving Christmas gifts to Berlin fans who are 'used to hard times'.

In addition, the people of Munich also voiced their solidarity in support of the Berlin brothers to take a lead and stop Dortmund's catch-up momentum.

Even Lewandowski shouted out his Eastern European fellow Kobiashvili, praising the Hertha Berlin defenders for their excellent performance this season, and they will definitely be able to freeze Jiang Chenxi......

……

The reason why Berliners suddenly have the confidence to wrestle with Dortmund is not only because Hertha Berlin has had a good season this season, but also because Dortmund suffered another injury attack before this game.

Borussia Dortmund's midfielder Reuss has been injured in training and has been determined to be unavailable for this game, with a poor estimate that it may take a month or two to recuperate.

Counting Subotic, who was reimbursed last season, and Gundogan, who will continue to recuperate from injuries for more than half a year, as well as Hummels, who is recovering from injuries, and now counting Reuss, Dortmund has four absolute main injuries, which has a great impact on Dortmund, who lacks depth on the bench.

Reuss' injury, in particular, will certainly have a big impact on Borussia Dortmund.

As Gotze's transfer away, Dortmund's number one academy star, Reuss is dexterous, fast, strong breakthrough ability, plus he feels good in front of the goal, he is a very good winger from the technical level, he and Jiang Chenxi's offensive cooperation is becoming more and more tacit, coupled with Mkhitaryan's assistance, in the case of Gundogan's long-term injury, in the case of the team's backline suffering a serious injury crisis, the combination of Royska and Jiang Chenxi is the guarantee of Dortmund's goals and continued progress.

……

Now, Reuss is injured, and many media and experts believe that Dortmund's worst crisis is coming.

In the eyes of everyone, this means that Dortmund's attack will be greatly affected, and at the same time, it will also bring great pressure and burden to Jiang Chenxi: if Dortmund can't win Hertha Berlin in this game, they will be Bayern Munich to widen the difference to 8 points, which basically means that Dortmund will withdraw from the competition for the league title.

In addition, Mkhitaryan will be suspended for accumulating yellow cards.

In the words of the German media, Dortmund doesn't even have a reliable player who can pass the ball to Jiang Chenxi!

……

Jiang Chenxi's expression was a little solemn, and he was under a lot of pressure now. Before the start of the game, CCTV commentator He Wei said that the camera gave Jiang Chenxi a close-up, and the Chinese star had a serious face.

"Dortmund can be said to have been crushed by injuries for most of the team, and the backline has also played in the past few games Dortmund fans are frightened, before the offensive side was very good, this game, Reus was injured, Mkhitaryan was suspended, only Jiang Chenxi remained." Zhang Lu shook his head, "If no one passes the ball, Jiang Chenxi will be more uncomfortable in this game." ”

Jiang Chenxi's heart is indeed not calm at this moment, in fact, his heart is a little anxious.

At present, on the scorer list, Jiang Chenxi is 18 goals, Lewandowski is 19 goals, he is one goal behind, the last round before the winter break of this game, Jiang Chenxi wants to get the Bundesliga halfway Golden Boot, he not only wants to score goals in this game, but also to score as many goals as possible, one goal is definitely not enough.

In such a situation, Royce was injured and Mkhitaryan was suspended, which was indeed equivalent to directly cutting off the source of cannonballs for him, which made this should have been a very ordinary and ordinary league, and instantly increased the difficulty by several levels.

……

"Jiang Chenxi was put to the ground, and Hertha Berlin defended him very fiercely." He Wei said.

"There is no way to do this, there used to be Reus and Mkhitaryan's passing breakthrough to cover, and now, Jiang Chenxi is Dortmund's meaningless only point of attack, as long as Hertha Berlin guards him, Dortmund's offensive threat is basically gone." Zhang Lu said.

The 36-year-old Georgian veteran of Hertha Berlin pulled up Jiang Chenxi, who had fallen to the ground, and the Georgian covered his mouth and said fiercely, "Boy, you won't have any chance today." ”

Jiang Chenxi didn't speak, shaking his head slightly.

Do you really think that without the help of his teammates, he will be killed?

What cats and dogs dare to jump out?

Even this old guy who is about to bury half of his body in the soil dares to be arrogant!

After playing for about ten minutes, although he didn't get any good opportunities, Jiang Chenxi felt a little bit while gradually getting familiar with his opponent: Did he overestimate the strength of his opponent?

It's true, he was ready for a tough battle, but, apparently, Hertha Berlin had surprised him a bit.

If the Berliners thought that a rough and tough defense would be able to stop him, he would have taught the Berliners a good lesson!

……

Dortmund's set-piece.

Shaheen stood at the penalty spot.

With Reus, Gundogan injured and Mkhitaryan suspended, the Turk is considered to be the only player capable of helping Jiang Chenxi.

Jiang Chenxi glanced at Aubameyang.

The Gabonese got a chance to start today.

Seeing Jiang Chenxi's eyes, Aubameyang nodded: Understood!

The pressure on the Gabonese is also very great, he insists on training with Jiang Chenxi, just to cultivate a tacit understanding with Jiang Chenxi, and add chips to fight for the main position for himself, he doesn't have many ideas, and he works hard, but the result is not satisfactory, the problem is not Jiang Chenxi, but Aubameyang:

His footwork is terrible, his biggest weapon is his speed, that's true, but his shooting skills are mediocre and his passing footwork is terrible, which is embarrassing.

It often happens that Jiang Chenxi runs to the position, Aubameyang also has a good breakthrough, and passing over is a good assist, but his passing footwork limits all this......

That's it, Aubameyang uh brushed up 3 assists, it's not how good his pass is, it can only be said that Jiang Chenxi's ability to grab points is too good, some passes can't be in place, and he can also turn opportunities that are not chances into goals.

……

Saheen takes a free-kick.

Football flies into the penalty area!

Kobiashvili stared at Jiang Chenxi, and suddenly at the moment when the football was out, Jiang Chenxi ran out of the penalty area in reverse!

The Georgian veteran was shocked and was about to follow.

At this point, the ball flew over the box and Aubameyang jumped high to beat Hertha Berlin defender Scholz and headed the ball towards the outside of the box.

Then, everyone saw Jiang Chenxi, who had just run out of the penalty area in reverse, turned around, just facing the football, stopping the ball on his chest, and then, he did not continue to adjust his position, but shot directly before the rushing Kobyashvili intercepted, and he used an unconventional and somewhat awkward shooting posture.

He tried his best to push the ball down.

Try to hold the soccer ball down!

Don't highball!

It's a half-low ball that's just over the turf!

The biggest threat to such a shot is: concealment!

The ball skimmed past the feet of a man in the box, swept towards goal, and eventually slipped past Hertha Berlin goalkeeper Marus before rolling into the back of the net.

The ball is in!
