Chapter 90: The Coach's Game
"Damn, when you come to Karlsruhe, our fans will make your players look good!" The Karlsruhe players are also swearing, but this season they will not meet at all except for this game, and if they want Bochum to play in Karlsruhe, at least until they are promoted to the first division, or both sides are in the Bundesliga.
Although the Bochum fans are very "enthusiastic", the Karlsruhe players are not intimidated by such a scene, which only makes their fighting spirits stronger.
I have to say that this kind of hostile team battle can detonate the enthusiasm of fans the most, and the entire Wales Hotel is densely packed with fans from both sides, and there are tens of thousands of fans who came with the Karlsruhe team this time, and they are all diehards of the team. They follow their own team to the place of their sworn enemies, just to let them know that they are not alone.
After arriving in Bochum, Becker strictly forbade the players to go out to prevent the Bochum fans from acting excessively. It wasn't until the 24th that the entire Karlsruhe squad went to another Bochum stadium to do some daily training.
Outside the training ground, countless fans and Bochum's media gathered to find out the tactics of the opponents from the training in Karlsruhe in order to provide some information to the home team, but unfortunately, Becker only made the players move their muscles and did not make any special tactical arrangements.
However, even so, Bochum's fans continued to shout insults outside the training ground, trying to provoke and interfere with the training of the Karlsruhe players, which made Becker very angry, but this is someone else's territory, even if the police come, they can't control these hooligan fans.
In the end, after half a day of activity, all the players in Karlsruhe hastily finished training and went back to the hotel to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow afternoon's game, and every player held their breath to teach the Bochum team a lesson.
Seeing his teammates' emotions so high, and even a little out of his mind, Wu Feng didn't feel very good, he vaguely remembered that Karlsruhe was eliminated in the second round of the German Cup, as for whether the opponent was Bochum, he didn't know.
But after being reborn, he changed several of his original trajectories, and now it is a big problem that he has to deal with carefully, if he wants to have his wonderful life, he must change the original course of history, so he must help Karlsruhe win, and they must overcome the obstruction of Bochum.
Thinking of these, Wu Feng couldn't help but be more careful, he knew that tomorrow's game would not be so smooth, all he could do was to do his best to block the opponent's shot, besides, his free kick kung fu was also time to show, the game experience was played in the game, and he would have to face this sooner or later.
On the afternoon of the 25th, Karlsruhe buses drove into the Ruhr Stadium, accompanied by more than 3,000 fans, for Karlsruhe, this game is very important, they have not won a better result in the German Cup, it is rare to be so strong this season, but they also hope to win the German Cup, adding to the club's decades of glory.
Bochum fans warmly "welcomed" the Karlsruhe bus at the Ruhr Stadium, but without flowers and applause, Wu Feng and Federico were greeted with boos and ridicule.
The bus in Karlsruhe did not stop, and Stoll and others, who had long been accustomed to it, also sat in the bus, looking at the Bochum fans who gave them the middle finger with disdain, and they were ready to take revenge on these "passionate" fans with goals on the field, so that they could see what the attacking power of the best team in the Bundesliga was.
After the Karlsruhe players had settled into the pitch and the coaches of both sides attended the pre-match press conference, Becker still showed his gentlemanly demeanor and first praised the Ruhr Stadium, saying that the Ruhr Stadium was great, the turf was good and big, and it was all a bit of unnutritious words.
Then he hypocritically said that Bochum is a strong team, their best opponent in Karlsruhe, and that this German Cup clash will become a classic game that fans often miss, but then he said that he was sorry that Karlsruhe would win tonight.
The players and fans of Karlsruhe are hungry for the title and the victory, they are well prepared for the match, and this match they must win.
When talking about the current situation in the Bundesliga, he was asked if he could lead Karlsruhe to a successful promotion to the Bundesliga.
Becker said that Karlsruhe has strong reinforcements this season, especially Wu Feng and Federico and Capalani, but it is a pity that Capalani has to be banned for two games, otherwise this game will be more exciting.
They did well in the first half last season, but the second half led to the collapse of the team, so this season he has tried to integrate his tactical thinking with the players in this regard, and only by winning one game will they have a chance of promotion to the Bundesliga.
In his pre-match speech, Neurujo was succinct, saying he had a lot of respect for Becker and Karlsruhe, which is a perfect combination of a gold medal coach and a champion team.
However, Bochum has now passed the adaptation period of the Bundesliga, and Bochum will go all out to win more games in the Bundesliga, not just after being promoted to the Bundesliga, and then returning to the Bundesliga.
Becker joked that it would be better for Neurujo to cede a place in the German Cup to Karlsruhe, who had not tasted the title for decades.
Bochum will definitely meet a completely different Karlsruhe from last season, and their desire for the title is much stronger than that of Bochum.
The pre-game press conference passed in a relatively harmonious past in the "open and secret fight" between the two coaches.
As soon as the game started, the on-site commentator Wilson at the Ruhr Stadium was introducing the line-ups of both sides, when there was a sudden commotion in the stands, and the camera camera turned to the stands.
It turned out that the presidents of the two clubs, Thaler and Willis, came to the game site, and the two presidents attached great importance to this game, everyone met a few times last season, and they were also enemies, but Willis pressured Neurujo to win Karlsruhe this time, and he was very unhappy with Thaler's face.
Neururuo was very cautious in this game, facing his old rivals, he did not dare to underestimate this current team that has swept the Bundesliga, and he is still the first in his squad. However, the morale of the team has also begun to recover recently, and even Dortmund have been held to a draw by them, and he is still confident of winning Karlsruhe.
