December 15, 2007, Müller Stadium, Hamburg, Germany.

The stadium, which can accommodate more than 20,000 fans, was packed, and the atmosphere was very hot. The home team's fans have dressed it up as a powder keg, and now it's time to light the flame. All St. Pauli fans are looking forward to the players being able to light the flame for them and make the Miller Gate Stadium burst into unprecedented passion.

In the stands, there is a skeletal pirate flag with a gray background that stands out.

This is the unofficial symbol of the team.

It is a symbol of the unification of the fans, who flaunt themselves with the black pirate flag made up of skulls and two crossed thigh bones.

Because this can cause a sensational effect and show their fierce reality.

Moreover, St. Pauli is also a fanatical religious team, and the fans are super fanatical about the team, as if they are a group of fierce pirates, which is intimidating.

In the past, there were violent incidents in the stadium of St. Pauli fans, and you can imagine how fierce these fans were.

Today, the Miller Gate Stadium, which can accommodate more than 20,000 fans, is full of such fanatical fans.

The skeleton pirate flag waving in the wind is quite a bit of a fierce temperament.

It was as if the two armies were facing each other, and they were about to launch a final charge.

St. Pauli fans also fanatically sang their club's anthem and cheered on their team for a victory over Mainz.

However, now St. Pauli is now 5 lives, 4 draws, 7 losses, 19 points, ranking 11th, scoring 19 goals and conceding 24 goals, the results are relatively average, and Mainz is much worse.

Therefore, their strength should not be enough to threaten Mainz.

Provided, of course, that Mainz himself does not do the case of death.

Today, the fans of the away team Mainz did not come much, not even a thousand. But they are red and white. The momentum of the army is still on display, and their singing is also very loud.

"Audience friends, fans and friends, welcome to ZDF, today we are bringing you a match in the 17th round of the 2007-2008 Bundesliga, against St. Pauli and Mainz!" Roland Lowy, a football statistician at ZDF, said.

Today he sat in front of the TV and commented on the game live.

This can be one of Klopp's partners when he was a special guest on ZDF, and even a commentary partner.

"Okay, the game is about to start, and the players from both sides are already in the game!" Roland Lowy said.

Today Mainz 05 FC lined up in a 4-4-2 formation with the following starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Witcro

Back four [left to right]: Roze, Nowitzki, Subotic and Hogland

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Gunkel, Calhan, Pekovic, Foirner

Twin strikers: Borja and Amri

Gu Zhen and his good friend Frankic Jr. sat on the bench watching the game, waiting for the opportunity to play.

To be honest, at the beginning of the game, Mainz still had a lot of problems.

St. Pauli, playing at home, really didn't look like a team in 11th place at all, their attacks were very ferocious, the attack was impressive, and they frequently threatened the goal of the Mainz team, and if it wasn't for Subotic's excellent performance, Mainz would have conceded the goal.

Gu Zhen sat on the bench, hunched over, his head poked forward, and his brows were furrowed.

It was a tough game.

The bearded Klopp was in a hurry, jumping and jumping on the sidelines, waving his hands and punches, reminding the Mainz players on the pitch that he was even eager to rush off the pitch to play.

Gu Zhen glanced at Klopp, and said lightly to the good friends around him: "The boss is very nervous today!" ”

Francec Jr. also said lightly: "Freiburg behind us is already 2-0 ahead of the Wayne team, do you think he can not be in a hurry?" ”

Freiburg now has 29 points, just two points away from Mainz on 31. The result of a game can change the ranking of the two teams, and Klopp is naturally relatively nervous.

Now that they are ahead, but their side is suppressed by St. Pauli, it is no wonder that Klopp can sit firmly.

"Felix, go forward and go forward!" On the sidelines, Klopp roared like a hungry tiger.

On the pitch, Borja, with his hands on his hips, kept nodding to the sidelines, indicating that he understood.

At this point, the team won a corner.

All the Mainz fans were cheering on the team and expecting a goal.

Gu Zhen, Francic Jr. and others also stood up, stretched their necks and stared at the stadium tightly, looking forward to the arrival of this goal.

With a thud, Foylner curled the ball into the box.

In the penalty area, Subotic jumped high and came to the top of the mountain, and smashed the football into the St. Pauli goal.

It's a pity that the football smashed the ground, and there was a rebound, and the football was over the goalkeeper of St. Pauli, and it was also high above the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Mainz returned in vain.

Gu Zhen immediately closed his eyes and held his head in his hands, feeling sorry.

"Wow, what a pity, Subotic's header almost broke through St. Pauli's goal. Mainz has missed a great opportunity! Roy said immediately.

The Mainz fans gave Subotic a thunderous round of applause, and this time the Mainz players performed well.

Gu Zhen also nodded and said, "Lao Wen, this guy is in good shape today!" ”

Junior French said: "This is the second time in the game that he has rushed into the opposition box to head the goal, and he almost scored on both occasions, so he is in great shape. I can't say that he can really score in this game. ”

Gu Zhen also bowed slightly, and then he continued to watch the game.

To be honest, this game was very intense, and it was exciting to watch. Gu Zhen also really wants to go on the court to play, show himself well, and help the team win.

Gu Zhen looked at head coach Klopp from time to time, but Klopp didn't mean to change people at all, just stood quietly on the sidelines, watching.

During this time, the Mainz team gradually turned the tide and had a tendency to control the game. Therefore, Klopp is also a lot quieter, not as excited as before.

However, St. Pauli's occasional attack still threatened the Mainz goal.

Just now, St. Pauli striker Schnitzler's sudden shot from the edge of the penalty area almost broke through Witklow's ten fingers. Thankfully, Witcro was focused and kept in the net.

Witklow threw the ball with a strong hand and launched a quick counterattack, and Amri in front of the court received the ball directly into the penalty area and faced the opposing goalkeeper. It's a pity that the last step was a little bigger, and the football was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper taking the first step.

Mainz missed a one-on-one chance, and Klopp was so angry that he almost smashed his glasses to the ground.

It's a pity!

Little French smashed the shirt in his hand to the ground, and said in his mouth: "Old Gu, if you play this ball, it will definitely go in!" ”

Gu Zhen smiled slightly bitterly, what could he do? It's not like he can get on it if he wants to.

Twenty minutes into the game, the score of the two teams was still 0-0, and neither team had breached the opponent's goal. However, both teams have chances to break through each other's goals, and now it will be up to the two to take advantage of them.

The game continued, the game was getting more and more tense, the fans on both sides were getting better, the atmosphere was very, very good, the war drums were roaring, and the cheers came and went.

Gu Zhen was enthusiastic when he saw it, and he really wanted to play next.

Unfortunately, Klopp still has no intention of making substitutions. At this time, the performance of the Mainz team is still very good, and Klopp should not make substitutions.

Gu Zhen and little French sat quietly on the sidelines, watching the game and discussing in a whisper, this is the daily life of the substitute players.

Fortunately, Gu Zhen and the two still have something to do, and some guys are sitting on the bench grinding their skin and rubbing their itches, and they can't sit still.

And just then, news came from another stadium.

Freiburg's side was really big today, they scored again. Wein, who are now 3-0 ahead and equally strong, is not good news for Mainz.

Freiburg have all but won the game, so Mainz need to win now if they want to retain second place in the league.

Jurgen Klopp kept shouting from the sidelines, reminding the Mainz players to cheer them on.

Now Mainz have to score as soon as possible.

With just ten minutes to go until the end of the first half, Mainz continued to score.

Hearing Klopp's shouts, the Mainz players stepped up their attack.

But as soon as they pressed it, St. Pauli sounded the alarm bell for them.

St. Pauli's other striker, Troyan, suddenly received a long diagonal pass from the wing, stopped the ball directly on his chest, and then directly volleyed with his legs, and the football drew an arc and fell directly to the Mainz goal.

The fans of the Mainz team were stupefied!

Almost, the football almost fell into the Mainz goal.

The soccer ball is slightly higher and falls into the net at the top of the goal!

It's really just a little bit.

On the sidelines, Klopp screamed, and the information in his hand fell to the ground, which was really dangerous.

Gu Zhen also exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "It's really too dangerous, it's just a little bit!" ”

Frankic Jr. was speechless for a long time, the luck of the Mainz team today is really good, otherwise the Mainz team would have fallen behind now.

Klopp immediately rushed to the sidelines and roared loudly: "Oppress! Don't you know about oppression? Pressing on their ball-handlers and keeping a good distance from their teammates, you know? ”

Klopp was very dissatisfied, and kept roaring, reminding his players.

If this continues, the Mainz team is really, really dangerous.

Before Klopp's words were finished, St. Pauli, who were playing at home, broke through the Mainz goal.

It was St. Pauli's cross from the wing, and the central striker Schnitzler jumped high to get a hold of Nowitzki behind him, and flicked the ball towards the back of the net.

Witcro caught the ball in the air, but it still couldn't stop it from flying into the goal.

At 1-0, at the end of the first half, the home team St. Pauli scored and took the lead.

Klopp was able to remove the cap from his head and slam it to the ground.

He couldn't stop shaking his head, how could this ball be kicked like this?

He just reminded him to put more pressure on the opposing ball carrier and press him aggressively. How did you give Trojan on the wing such a big gap this time, so that he could calmly get up and cross?

Isn't this looking for death?

Sure enough, someone scored a goal!

Jurgen Klopp is very dissatisfied, but there is no way, the team is behind now.
