Chapter 366: Record
With eight rounds of the league remaining so far, Kaiserslautern will need to work hard if they are to catch up in this limited competition.
Their league performances have not been good before, especially after the winter break.
Fortunately, thanks to the similarly sluggish performances of other direct rivals in the league in recent times, the teams in the middle of the league have not opened up the gap between each other, indirectly preserving the possibility of Kaiserslautern taking a step forward, and it is indeed possible for them to return to their positions, and even go further, after all, it is man-made.
In the 27th round of the league, Kaiserslautern will challenge Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are in danger of relegation, and the second half of the league is always very interesting to see the teams pursuing in the first half and the teams facing relegation pressure in the second half.
The two teams belong to the kind of teams that are "dissatisfied, half a bottle wandering", Kaiserslautern is in the upper middle of the league, a short distance from the European places, and Borussia Mönchengladbach is in the middle and lower table, and is a fraction of the relegation zone. But neither of them will relax their demands on themselves, because the subtle difference in the way of effort determines their future.
Such two teams meeting each other may be a test of which of them is more self-motivated.
'Borussia Mönchengladbach has one player who deserves our special attention, and that is their wing centre, Reus, who will make waves on our left flank, if nothing else!'
Head coach Kurz reminded his players at the pre-match kick-off call, especially Dane Leonjessen, who will replace Bougerra at left wing-back.
Kurtz, the Kaiserslautern man, was a real figure of determination to have a substitute to deal with the opposition's core players, and Bougerra was visibly tired after countless games, and given the poor reality, Kaiserslautern had to settle for it.
However, Kurtz is still full of enthusiasm for the game, and he plans to strike while the iron is hot, taking advantage of the team's recent victory in the previous round, and blowing a warm wind on his players to increase their strength.
"Since it is a home battle, of course we should show the momentum we should have, whether we can defeat the opponent depends on whether you have the idea of winning!"
For Kaiserslautern and Borussia Mönchengladbach, it really depends on who has the confidence and momentum to win.
Does Borussia Mönchengladbach have confidence in this game? Before Kaiserslautern won the last game, that is, when they were winless in eight rounds, their head coach Favre was still full of confidence, there is not much difference between the two teams, and the recent situation is half a pound and eight taels, they feel that there is still a fight.
However, this season's Kaiserslautern is not a muddy Borussia Mönchen, they have lofty ideals and pursuits, compared to which the Mönchenchen themselves do not know where they should be, whether they will stay on the platform of the first division or temporarily hide to the second division to practice, no one knows.
Maybe their core player "Little Rocket" Reus wants to fight, his idea is very simple, is to beat Kaiser, avenge the home defeat in the first half of the season, and help the team stay in the first division, in the struggle or sinking, Reyce did not hesitate to choose the former.
This is just like Ni Tu, on the question of whether the team chooses to get by or strive for the top, Ni Tu will also choose to help the team strive for the top without thinking, even if the choice of this goal will not be comfortable, it will be very tiring, and if you want to do it, you must be able to endure hardships.
Is Kaiserslautern confident? There should be, their confidence and momentum mainly come from the accumulation of a season's first-class league games and a number of core players to resist the hand.
Ni Tu exerts his charisma, and he also has a group of teammates who can stick to him at critical moments.
The league has come to this stage, and there are not a few games left to fight, Ni Tu delivered a speech with the afterglow of victory before, which objectively played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
His speech did carry a lot of weight at the right time!
As Rakic's said to him during the game: "Ni Tu, I think we can really go further, you're right, we do have the ability!" ”
Ni Tu said to his friend: "What we need to do now is to save up enough energy and rush to the end of the season!" ”
In this game, Ni Tu will continue to play as a right winger, and he will be responsible for breaking the deadlock for the team.
Ni Tu is preparing for the game and he has a strong belief to help his team win at home.
And before this game, for Ni Tu, there is a record that has to be mentioned, the goal he scored in the last round made himself get ten goals and ten assists in the league!
He's put up a double double, and this season has been outstanding!
With eight rounds remaining, he has equalled his own record from last season, when Kaiserslautern played in the German second division.
Ni Tu completed the "Double Ten" results, and naturally attracted the attention of the media, the first of which was the media in his home country, China.
In the news column of the five sports channels of the national television station, the host Mo Fanfan temporarily replaced Duan Chengxuan, who had other work tasks, and when she read this news, she sent it with her greatest enthusiasm.
"Our player Ni Tu scored a goal in the just-concluded 26th round of German football to help Kaiserslautern win 2:1, and this goal happened to be his tenth goal in the league! It is not easy to score double goals in the league, and what is even more difficult is that in addition to ten goals, Ni Tu has already completed ten assists! ”
In fact, Ni Tu is fully capable of breaking through this "Double Ten" mark as soon as possible, but he spent more energy on helping his teammates get out of the trough during this time.
Mo Fanfan saw with his own eyes that Ni Tu had passed the football he could kick to his teammates behind him.
"If he wanted to, he could even get to where he is a few rounds earlier!"
Ni Tu is also very happy that he can achieve this result again, and his happiness is a bad thing for Borussia Mönchengladbach's team, because the visitors are facing a player who has greatly improved their ability!
"Okay! In the 11th, Ni Tu scored his first goal in Kaiserslautern in this game to help the team lead 1:0 at home! And this goal was his 11th of the season! Every goal he scores now is making history! Will he be able to break the record for goals scored by a Chinese player in European football? Let's wait and see! ”
The host Duan Chengxuan chose to broadcast his compatriots' games live in the 28th round, and he happened to witness the moment when Ni Tu broke his own record, and at this moment, his heart was as excited as Ni Tu!
