Chapter 297
Seville!
The quasi-giants of La Liga!
But the quasi-wealthy are also exploited by the wealthy families......
Before the start of last season, two of Sevilla's biggest stars, Baptista and Sergio Ramos, chose to join Real Madrid.
Real Madrid poached two leading stars in one go.
Man and God are angry!
The competitive environment of La Liga is like this, Barcelona and Real Madrid are like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and the traditional powerhouses Valencia, Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla are like the training base of stars.
But.
Sevilla's results last season were surprising, as they not only retained their place in the UEFA Cup, but also lifted the trophy with the departure of the two main players.
In other words, Sevilla are the defending champions of the UEFA Cup!
Sevilla FC have continued to be strong this season, beating Champions League winners Barcelona 3-0 in the UEFA Super Cup and then beating Levante 4-0 in the opening round of the league.
Last summer, Sevilla's main squad basically remained stable, although Saviola left, but the ability of Chevanton joined, the main framework was retained, and the team retained the basis for retaining the impact of good results.
Sevilla are also doing quite well at the moment, with an astonishing third place in the league, and crucially, they are only three points less than Barcelona and two points less than Real Madrid.
Sevilla have the hope of breaking the monopoly of the two giants on the La Liga title.
With the support of such a good result, Sevilla is naturally full of confidence, for St. Pauli, the quarterfinals of the League Cup are already unimaginable good results, but for Sevilla, it is normal to reach the quarterfinals, semi-finals, and even the final, and their goal is to successfully defend the League Cup.
Against St. Pauli, Sevilla's mentality was like playing against a small club.
Of course.
St. Pauli was originally a small club.
Sevilla have absolute confidence, and one aspect of that confidence is backed by the quality of the squad, they have a lot of stars in their squad.
On the other hand, there are the results.
The third place in La Liga is much stronger than the fourth place in the Bundesliga, and the strength of the team does not seem to be so comparable, but even ordinary fans feel that Sevilla is much better than St. Pauli.
Of course, St. Pauli also threatened.
Sevilla's coaching staff took note of Lu Feng, and head coach Juan de Ramos also stressed to the players that they must guard against Lu Feng's points, "The opponent's number 13, the goal efficiency is very high, there must be many of you, after reading those reports, yes, he scored six goals individually against Braga, so to speak, everyone is very beautiful and amazing!" ”
'This player is in great form

The ability to hit the ball directly from the corner flagstick! ”
"You must be cautious about his defense, and be cautious!"
Juan de Ramos's statement has made the Sevilla forward team a little disgusted, and they have always believed that Sevilla's forward line is one of the most powerful forwards in Europe.
They have Canute, Fabiano, Chevanton, Copa......
Wait a minute.
The technical ability of every striker is outstanding, especially striker Kanoute, who has scored more goals in La Liga than Ruud van Nistelrooy at Real Madrid.
The gold content of the first scorer in La Liga is much stronger than the first scorer in the Bundesliga!
Canute was not convinced.
Kanute said in an interview the day before the game, "I know their number 13, Zen...... Sorry, I can't say the name, it's too awkward. ”
"But it doesn't matter. I'm sure Sevilla can win, and he's going to have to defend against Sevilla, the toughest defence! ”
The 'toughest Sevilla' defense is really not very convincing, and most fans have the impression that Sevilla FC is quite good in attack, and their full-back Alves is really good, but the excellence lies in the assists, not in how well the defense is done.
Of course.
Kanute emphasized that he is not worse than Lu Feng personally, and his performance in the game will be better than the opponent, but to put it mildly.
Unbeknownst to Canute, his statement annoyed St. Pauli fans, or St. Pauli women, to be exact.
In the eyes of St. Pauli female fans, Lu Feng is the best striker, the best player, and the most charismatic player.
Now there is a black-faced, bald-headed, bearded ugly ghost, saying that he is stronger than Lu Feng? I didn't dare to say it directly, so I used a euphemism.
How can this be endured?
Reasonable St. Pauli female fans immediately checked Canute's data, and they found that the other party still had capital to say this.
No. 1 in the La Liga scorer list!
"This ugly ghost is doing well, maybe he can really be stronger than Zhen!"
Some female fans are worried.
They don't think Canute is stronger than Lu Feng, the key is that St. Pauli's strength is not as good as Sevilla, Sevilla is a team that advocates attacking, Canute will definitely get, more opportunities than Lu Feng, more opportunities to perform, even if the strength is a little worse, it may perform better.
Many female fans make judgments.
And then.
When the Selivia bus drove into the St. Pauli district of Hamburg, it was warmly welcomed by the local female fans.
That's passionate!
On both sides of the street there were female fans, dressed in flowers

----- this is a gorgeous dividing line-
The exhibition is simply to release the body and the places that can be exposed, and bikinis and stockings can be seen everywhere.
The Selivian players on the bus were stunned!
"This is a burger?"
"No, this is St. Pauli!"
"We're not going to drive into the red-light district, are we? But even the red-light district shouldn't be so hot? ”
"St. Pauli is such a great place!"
"These female fans are so enthusiastic!"
The Sevilla players all have the feeling that the hillbillies are in the city, they have seen the face of the 'big city', and at the same time, they also feel a little uncontrollable.
Coach Juan de Ramos also saw it, and he felt that something was not quite right, and that the local fans of St. Pauli would welcome Sevilla with a warm welcome?
Is it possible?
"Don't look out the window! We're here to compete! "Juan de Ramos reminded all his teammates with a very stern expression, and then continued to look to the side of the window, thinking, 'I'm looking at it with a scrutinizing eye, I've got to find out what the conspiracy is!'
By the time the whole Sevilla team moved into the hotel, things seemed to be getting better.
Juan de Ramos breathed a sigh of relief.
But......
He soon found that the situation was not much better, and he could notice the red lights of the opposite street and all kinds of beautifully dressed women from the windows of the hotel rooms.
That's a ji-girl?
Yes.
If it's just a special shop outside, it's not much of a problem, but what does it mean for a large group of women to wear very little cloth and dance together?
It's kind of like ...... Strip show at the bar?
Belly dance?
There was a large row of dozens of female fans, and the scene was really hot, which made the Sevilla players want to stop, they kept watching, constantly appreciating, even when they needed to rest, most of the players couldn't help but do it.
"St. Pauli is such a great place!"
"It's paradise!"
"If I'm about to retire, I must choose to retire here!"
"But you have a wife!"
"But I want to play, I want to make money, I want to be a St. Pauli player...... No way ......"
"Makes sense!"
In the enthusiastic discussion of the Sevilla players, one question after another arose -
Watching a group of women with flowers and branches for a long time, dancing off clothes and belly dancing, what changes will occur in the body and mentality?
Men know it.

---It's a gorgeous partition --
A player simply comes in and serves.
Some players can't help but want to go out and turn around and find a shop to try the service attitude, but they can only endure it with difficulty.
Canute is one of them.
Canute and Alves are in the same room, both of them are the core of Sevilla, and they are also a bit 'like-minded' in personality.
Since coming to the hotel and entering the room, Canute and Alves' eyes have not left the window.
They watched and watched.
Alves proposed, "We can take advantage of the coach's inattention and find an opportunity to go out, an hour is almost enough!" ”
"But tomorrow is the game......
"What's wrong with the game? A shot won't affect the game, the opponent is just St. Pauli! ”
Alves has a point!
Canute was still a little hesitant, after all, it was a major violation of discipline.
"Ringing ringing!"
Suddenly, the phone in the room rang.
Kanute went to the bedside to pick up the phone, and heard a nice female voice on the other side, speaking in Spanish, "Hello, sir, do you need service?" We have a special custom, the most beautiful lady will come to the door. ”
Canute was about to put down the phone when he heard the other person continue, "We are a regular service, we pay taxes on every income, and we meet the needs of our guests at any time and at any time!" ”
"Is it okay at two o'clock in the evening?" Canute asked funny, he knows about the red industry, and usually after twelve o'clock in the evening, women in the service industry will not go out again.
Even in the safest of Madrid, it is not safe to go out after 12 p.m., and Hamburg, especially in the St. Pauli district, is not as safe as Madrid.
What Canute didn't expect was that the other party's answer turned out to be, "No problem, sir, we are available twenty-four hours a day!" ”
“!!”
Canute's heart was moved, and he immediately said, "You wait, leave a call, I'll think about it, and call in a moment." ”
In Alves' confusion, Canute told him what had just happened.
Alves was pleasantly surprised, "Great! I also said to take the risk of going out, it seems that I don't need to, and at two o'clock in the evening, let them come, but be careful not to be found by others, yes, just pretend to be a hotel cleaner...... Or something else, can this be done? You go and ask! ”
"Okay!"
Kanute immediately called back, and was pleasantly surprised by the result, the other party agreed to any conditions, and promised not to be discovered.
That's great!
Next, Canute and Alves began to look forward to the time passing soon.
Three o'clock in the morning.
Hotels in Seville.
Second floor.
There was silence in the hallway.
The door to the hallway was opened, and a man in a bathrobe stepped out of the door, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes slightly red and swollen, and his half-arched back made him look a little listless.
He.
It's Christian Paulsen.
A Danish player born in the 80s, Paulsen came through the Copenhagen academy and rose to prominence at the 2002 World Cup, before joining Schalke 04 to achieve real fame and being voted Danish Footballer of the Year for two consecutive terms.
Paulsen then travelled to Seville.
In fact, Paulsen has the opportunity to go to Serie A, join the giants AC Milan, Inter Milan, even Roma is very interested in him, but unfortunately his game character is too bad, when he played for Schalke 04, there was a conflict with AC Milan in the Champions League, he used all kinds of small actions and trash talk, trying to provoke AC Milan core Kaka.
After the game, Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed strong dissatisfaction with what Christian Paulsen had done, calling him "rubbish on the pitch".
In addition, at Euro 2004, Paulsen had a conflict with Totti, and Clash with Gattuso in the Champions League.
Wait a minute.
The Italian side eventually gave up on bringing in Poulsen, who had to come to La Liga to join Sevilla, who were interested in him.
Since joining Sevilla, Paulsen has performed quite well, relying on solid defense and assists, and he has been considered "the best signing in La Liga that season". ”
No doubt.
Paulson is at the peak of his career.
In the eyes of the outside media and fans, Paulson is always in good spirits, very active in every game, and very positive, he seems to have a sense of positivity and unlimited fighting spirit.
Now Paulson seems to be less positive.
He walked to the top of the stairs in a decadent manner.
After taking a closer look at the firefighting facilities in the distance, he opened the window of the staircase, jumped out of the lighter and lit a cigarette.
That's right.
It's a cigarette.
Smoking is too harmful to professional players, and Paulson doesn't smoke often, he just smokes a stick to relieve boredom when he's in a bad mood or has something he can't figure out.
That will make the mind flexible.
"Hiss......"
Paulson took a deep breath and exhaled it vigorously, looking at the concentration and movement of the smoke, he knew that he couldn't smoke, just a gesture.
This one brought him back to his senses!
Afraid!
Worry!
Two emotions came to Paulson's mind, and after receiving a service call, he agreed on impulse, and the reason in favor of giving it was simple - he lived alone.
Sevilla had exactly an odd number of players, so he was assigned a room to himself.
"I'm alone, and what I've done, no one else knows." Paulson thought so, but when he vented his impulse, he became afraid.
This can be big or small.
If it is exposed, it will be a 'violation of discipline' at worst, and it may also be expanded to 'Sevilla players call Ji-goal', and there will be countless media reports following suit, and the matter will also become a stain on him.
He has a wife.
There are children.
Exposure can also affect family harmony.
Even if the matter does not come to light and there is no aftermath, Paulson feels guilty, he is guilty of his own actions, and his professionalism tells him that even if it is indulgent to find happiness, it should not be the night before the game.
That's irresponsible for the whole team.
Fear, chagrin, regret, guilt...... All kinds of emotions came to his heart, and Paulson's expression became very complicated.
He took another hard breath, then jerked his head up.
"There's movement!"
In the distance, near the corner of the elevator, the door of a room opened.
Two cleaners walked out.
"Cleaner? Still working at this time? Paulsen looked closely, he couldn't see clearly because it was a bit far away, but he was sure that there was something wrong with the cleaner.
"That's certainly not a cleaner!"
Paulson's thinking became extremely clear, and he quickly noticed something unusual, one was that the cleaner should have tools, and the two cleaners only carried a bag in their hands, and from a distance, they could tell that it was a small bag for women.
Other than that.
These two cleaners are too quick to exaggerate!
One of them is quite average, and the other is obviously *** fat tun, it must be a hot woman, a woman with such a figure, will work as a cleaner in a hotel?
"If it were in St. Pauli, the woman would be the most likely ......"
Paulsen reacted.
He walked briskly to the room, sniffing at the door.
Perfume!
Very strong perfume smell!
"Just now it was a woman, two women, who came out of Canute and Alves' room......" Paulson incarnated as a famous detective in the movie, "these two guys, did the same thing as me!" ”
This discovery eased Paulson.
It turns out that similar things, not only did he do it alone, Canute and Alver also did it, with these two guys in front, even if it really broke the news, who would care about a Paulson?
Canute and Alves are much more famous than him!
The shield is ready!
Paulson let out a long breath.
————
Person.
Once you do something guilty, the look in your eyes says a lot.
The next morning, as Sevilla had breakfast, Paulson's eyes kept on head coach Juan de Ramos.
Ramos was a little distracted, but he noticed Paulson anyway, "What is he looking at?" Is there something wrong? ”
"Does he know me...... Yesterday I was looking out the window and didn't sleep at one o'clock at night? Ramiston straightened his back and took a serious attitude.
This look made Paulson a little weak.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
If it's not reported on the news, the manager and other team-mates don't talk about it, it means that no one else knows about it, and it's over.
Paulsen suddenly felt relaxed.
Sevilla then set up a training session in the morning.
Meantime.
St. Pauli is also actively preparing for the competition.
In the face of the game with Sevilla, the pressure on St. Pauli is still relatively large, just like the judgment of the media and fans, Sevilla is indeed a strong team, even if it is placed in the European arena, it is a 'quasi-giant' level, especially this season, Sevilla can compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the La Liga championship, and its strength and state can be said to have reached the top level.
If you compare the German team, they are much better than Schalke 04, Stuttgart, and Werder Bremen, and can barely be compared with Bayern Munich.
Of course, it's Bayern who are in normal form.
Ranked fifth in the league this season, Bayern, which can be said to have done nothing in Europe, cannot be compared with the current Sevilla.
Such an opponent is too challenging!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Sevilla is the most powerful team in the League Cup, and they are very good at attacking, and they will play big when they encounter small balls, which is a normal play.
Before the game, Bergman kept reminding the defense that the team playing La Liga must defend well, otherwise it is not surprising that the goal will be turned into a funnel.
In addition, he demanded that the confrontation on the field be tougher.
And then there's the offense.
St. Pauli played at home in the first leg, and if you want to win the two legs, it is better to play with an advantage at home, so you also need to pay attention to attack.
Attention should be paid to both defense and offense.
That's embarrassing.
The strength of St. Pauli's squad cannot be compared with Sevilla, and it is almost impossible to pay attention to defense and attack, so in terms of offense, Bergman only requires passive counterattacks, and when he takes the initiative to advance, he also reminds the players not to attack too forward.
Fortunately, in recent times, St. Pauli has put a lot of energy into offensive training.
In terms of offense and counterattack, St. Pauli's midfielder mainly relies on Bor, who was not as good as Sulentik in the past, but this season Bor's performance is quite good, and he has gradually replaced Sulentic and become the core of the attack.
In addition, the side is still dominated by the left side.
Albrecht's ability is undoubtedly the best in the team, and although he can't compare to the top wingers, his speed can put pressure on any opponent and he is also very suitable for quick counter-attacks.
Of course.
The goal is still based on the land breeze.
In addition to the above three, Kreuzer and Luz can only play 'corners'.
Luz was on the bench for this game.
In order to strengthen the defense at the back, especially against the opposition full-back Alves, and also to strengthen the defense on the left side, Bergmann decided to rest Luz and send an additional midfielder.
Brückner.
Brückner doesn't have much attacking ability, he can even be used as a central defender, but the defense is still very good, with Brückner playing in the back, Sulentik can support the left side.
This way the defense is somewhat assured.
Although it is not explicitly said, St. Pauli's formation has almost become 4231, with two backs, three midfielders, and a single striker, which is St. Pauli's preparation for Selivia.
Bergmann was also unsure of the effect of the change.
When the game started, he couldn't help but walk to the sidelines, take a closer look, and as soon as the game started, the head coach walked to the sidelines, showing his inner anxiety and uncertainty.
The other side.
Ramos sat very steadily, he shook his toes, his calm expression was a little unenergetic, and he even yawned a lot.
A commentator in Spain made an analysis based on the comparison of the behavior and expressions of the two coaches, saying, "Ramos is very confident, he doesn't even care about the game, probably just at the beginning, the result has been determined, and he probably wants to sleep." ”
"That's a good idea. Get a good night's sleep and wake up Sevilla have won by a big margin! ”
"On the other side, St. Pauli coach Bergmann is nervously standing on the sidelines and he must be worried because they are facing a strong Sevilla ......"
The Spanish commentator's analysis is based on Sevilla's strong strength.
Sevilla did show a strong offensive as well, taking advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch a series of attacks towards St. Pauli.
A wave.
A wave.
Another wave.
In just 10 minutes, Sevilla made seven or eight advances, attacking the St. Pauli half in succession.
But......
Sevilla didn't seem to be in any form, with the much-anticipated Alves not actively inserting an assist and striker Canoute making a mistake and squandering the only shot on goal.
Other than that.
The players on the pitch were not very active in running, and the offense was like putting on a show, but it didn't have much real effect.
On the contrary, St. Pauli took advantage of the rare attacking opportunity to push to the penalty line, and Bol came to shoot a cold shot and almost broke the Sevilla goal.
"Hoo ......"
Watching the football fly off the line, the home St. Pauli fans let out a sigh of regret, but they were happy with the team's performance.
The Spanish commentator immediately changed his story, "Sevilla don't seem to have adapted to the game yet, they still need time to ......"
