Time flies, but the weather is still good. The time has come to February 18, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and his sister Li Shiqing followed Antonjie, and other Hertha young players held a press conference.

The press conference took place in a hotel near the home stadium of the Nuremberg team.

Antonjie once again confidently assured that he would win this game, and broke the news that Zhang Xiaobao would continue to play for the team as a substitute.

Suddenly, those Hertha fans who did not buy tickets to Nuremberg in person, the home stadium of the team, and watched the football game were annoyed, originally they thought that Zhang Xiaobao would not participate in this game.

However, there were still two hours to go, and they drove straight over to .......

The most annoying thing is the two CCTV personnel who conducted a point-to-point special interview with Zhang Xiaobao, Chang Ping and Luo Liangcai.

Because Zhang Xiaobao and others took a closed training arranged by the club two days ago, no reporter was able to come in to shoot and know Antonjie's arrangement.

At this time, Chang Ping and Li Liangcai were still playing outside on vacation, because this was also a rare leisure moment.

However, at the press conference that saw the live broadcast, Zhang Xiaobao will appear as a substitute.

"Hurry up and pack your things, let's take a taxi directly, that is, fifty or sixty kilometers will be there soon." Chang Ping didn't say a word, and said to Luo Liangcai while going to the front desk to check out.

…… It's 8:00 p.m. on February 18, 2020.

Just over 40,000 fans attended the Nuremberg Sports Arena.

Because of their own professional team, they have lost the game, they are on fire, but the level of the youth team is still quite good, and it is ranked in the forefront of the Bundesliga, at least in the previous rankings, it is much higher than the youth team of Hertha Club.

In addition, Zhang Xiaobao came on as a substitute, so their local fans will subconsciously think that their team will definitely win this game.

The stadium is not very large, it can only accommodate 60,000 people, although there are still more than 10,000 empty seats without people, but the scene of nearly 50,000 people is also crowded, giving people a shocking feeling.

Li Shiqing and Wang Xiaomin, as well as most of the senior players of Hertha FC, also came to watch the game, and of course they did the position of the VIP tickets that the club received.

We had already kicked off and it was Nuremberg who kicked off first.

Nuremberg don't have talented strikers like Hertha or Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

But Antonje also knows that the past results and level of this team are indeed a notch higher than the Hertha youth team he is currently leading.

Although Zhang Xiaobao repeatedly assured that he had no problems with his waist and could play directly, but for the sake of insurance, Anton Jie still did not let Zhang Xiaobao appear on the stage at the doctor's suggestion, unless he was sent as a last resort, so he was placed on the bench list.

Seeing that Hertha's Zhang Xiaobao did not play, the Nuremberg coach breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he played according to the previous customized plan, he believed that his team would definitely be able to defeat Hertha.

Because in the last game, Dortmund did not have Zhang Xiaobao on the field when Hertha did not play, and their genius Silas also scored three goals from Hertha with a hat trick, but in the end, Zhang Xiaobao scored a tie.

There were back-and-forths between the two sides, but it was clear that everyone could see that Hertha was being pressed because possession was too low for Hertha's men.

Their skills at their feet are not good together, especially wingers Cliff and Coria can't cooperate every time they dribble the ball, because they are intercepted by the opponent in the middle of the way.

This is still a problem in the front line, and the more serious problem is that the back line is frequently pressed by Nuremberg's forwards. As a result, the defenders at the back are constantly running with a high hit spirit, and the consequence of this is to accelerate their physical exertion.

The forward muscles are weak, the back is even weaker, Antonjie's sophistication is very cold, he really can't believe that the Hertha youth team with Zhang Xiaobao and without Zhang Xiaobao are actually two teams, with him capable of turning over Dortmund, without him, even Nuremberg, who is at the bottom of the league, can't play a suppressive advantage.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the stadium is very good, because this is Nuremberg's home stadium, and their fans are the majority, so they are happy to watch their own lads on the pitch suppress the enemy, because as long as they keep attacking, they believe that their team will score goals sooner or later.

But the Hertha club were not purely useless, and at the end of the first half, they still held on to the scoreline and kept it 0-0.

At halftime, Li Shiqing handed water to the young men who came back from the game, and at the same time acted as a real-time translator for Zhang Xiaobao.

"Your level is out, but I need you to be stronger, in the second half, the wingers and forwards you three must be bold to press up, don't be afraid, play the kind of lightning cooperation that usually with Xiaobao, without Xiaobao on the field, you can also score." Antonja inspires the players.

He continued: "In the second half, the central defender gets the ball and takes it forward, you two wingers and forwards find the right position, the center you run forward, and the wingers form a trident a little behind the two sides, so that with the defenders, you can attack and retreat and defend." ”

"Everyone else just plays like they normally train."

Antonjie said here and looked at Zhang Xiaobao: "My wish is that you don't have to play in this game, provided that they can at least tie the score." ”

Through her sister's translation, Zhang Xiaobao nodded.

Others also promised Zhang Xiaobao that they would win.

The clock was fast approaching the second half, with the two sides exchanging venues and with Hertha taking the lead.

Hertha's wingers, meanwhile, started running straight into position.

"Right winger Koria got the ball, he took it and used his body to squeeze away his defenders!" Zhu Xiaoyu watched the live broadcast raise the decibels.

"He passed the ball to striker No. 10 Cassidy, Cassidy received the ball, but the opponent was already following and Cassidy passed the ball to left winger Cliff!"

Cliff got the ball and sped up to the box, and Coria and Cassidy stepped forward to the box! There is no one on the opposite side, and there is a goalkeeper! ”

It was Hertha's opening fast break, with three attackers boldly inserting and six of the opposing team coming in to grab the ball!

Miracles often happen in an instant!

In the confusion, striker Cassidy volleyed the ball into the calf of the opposing defender, who was standing just in front of the goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper couldn't see where the ball was, but he looked back at the goal as the crowd sighed and the cheers of the few Hertha fans.

The ball is in!

At this time, the Nuremberg players were depressed, and the Hertha boys cheered, and they ran to the sidelines to wave at Zhang Xiaobao and celebrate happily together!

It was Cassidy's goal.

Only 47 minutes into the game, Hertha temporarily led Nuremberg 1-0!
