However, in the 18th round, the Hamburg team was drawn, and Werder Bremen actually lost to the Bochum team at home and began to fall for the time being.

The current Bundesliga standings are Bayern Munich in first place with 43 points, Karlsruhe in second place with 41 points, Schalke in third place with 37 points, Hamburg in fourth place with 34 points, Wolfsburg in fifth place with 31 points, and Werder Bremen in sixth place with 30 points.

Even though the race was tough, Karlsruhe didn't stop. Many experts in Germany are currently predicting when Karlsruhe will collapse in the second half of the season due to the strength of their squad.

But these are not the most important things, for Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng, what they are most concerned about is that the Spring Festival is coming, and February 7, 2008 is the traditional Chinese festival Spring Festival.

The entire city of Karlsruhe has almost become a Chinese city, full of Chinese red celebrations, which is also a program specially prepared for the fans in order to thank Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng for their contributions to Karlsruhe.

In order to do a good job in this, Chairman Thaler, who is also the mayor of Karlsruhe, also specially invited the ambassador of the Chinese Embassy to come and welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the city of Karlsruhe gathered almost all Chinese and international students from the entire German region, because Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng were here. In addition, Karlsruhe is specially held, so this year, these Chinese and international students simply regard Karlsruhe as a place to celebrate the Spring Festival.

This Spring Festival event also gave these Germans a glimpse of what a real festive festival is. There are even fireworks and lion and dragon dances, and they are specially performed from China, which is an eye-opener for these Germans.

After the Chinese New Year, the citizens of Karlsruhe even wrote a joint letter to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, asking that the Chinese New Year be celebrated every year in the future. Not only for the sake of Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng, but they both deeply liked this Chinese festival, and it was quickly unanimously approved by all the parliamentarians, officially establishing the Chinese New Year as a special festival in Karlsruhe.

It is for this reason that many outstanding Chinese players are more willing to go to Karlsruhe for trial training in the future. And after the arrival of Chinese players, more benign developments have been brought about, which makes Karlsruhe Club extremely fond of these high-quality and inexpensive Chinese players.

After decades of standing in the Bundesliga, countless citizens of Karlsruhe praised the wise actions of their predecessors and brought them a brilliant future.

However, the next game was a big blow for Becker, with seven games to play in Karlsruhe over the next 20 days. Among them, there are three games to be played from No. 9 to No. 16, of which the 1/16 finals of the League Cup on No. 14 and No. 22 are the most important.

After this game, Karlsruhe will play the 20th round of the Bundesliga on the 16th in just two days. After that, there are two league games from the 22nd to March 2nd, and a German Cup quarter-final on the 27th, 4 games in 9 days, which is really terrible.

However, Bayern Munich and Hamburg and Schalke 04 also have the same schedule, which makes Becker a little better. It's just that the bench lineups of the other teams are also more luxurious, and although they are nervous about dealing with such a schedule, they can barely cope with it.

But Karlsruhe has what, even if it is the main lineup, it is only comparable to their bench lineup. And his substitute lineup is all old and small, and there are too many differences in strength. If the main force is the quasi-first-line Bundesliga strength, then the substitute players only have the second-rate strength of the German Second Division, and it is impossible to use such a lineup to win the German Cup.

So when Becker told all the players about the 20-day schedule, the players fell silent, and the schedule was truly a black February. Becker also privately asked Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng to explain the team's situation, and he said that the team really did not have the extra ability to compete for the German Cup, so Zhang Cheng could not play in the next round.

Wu Feng also agreed to this choice, but he still insisted that he must play. Wu Feng's physical strength, Becker also knows, he estimates that in these games, even if Wu Feng is all on the field to play in the midfield, there will be no problem, not to mention that he is only a goalkeeper.

Knowing that the next game is very important, so in the game against Hannover 96 on the 9th, Wu Feng appeared to be very active. He swooped forward to keep another clean sheet against Hannover and also scored a free-kick to extend his tally to 13 goals and extend his clean sheet record to 1,080 minutes.

After playing the 19th round of the league and just a few days off, Becker waited for all the main players to leave for Lisbon, Portugal. Karlsruhe, who played away, also brought a lot of German media, in fact, not only German media, but also other league media have sent many reporters to follow up on this game in detail.

As soon as Wu Feng and the main force of Karlsruhe got off the plane, they were surrounded by media reporters, who were constantly asked all kinds of questions about the match against Benfica.

Especially as the No. 1 core player in Karlsruhe, Wu Feng heard dozens of questions almost in a second, so that he didn't know what to answer.

It was almost half an hour before airport security arrived in a hurry, and the people in Karlsruhe were relieved. However, Wu Feng felt that this might be intentional on the part of the airport, because he could see a hint of pride in the eyes of these security guards.

Benfica have an unimaginable influence in Lisbon, and as their opponents, Karlsruhe naturally has to be treated "extra" by these security fans, which can be regarded as an early dismount.

But before entering the hotel, Karlsruhe and his party once again felt the "warm hospitality" of Benfica fans. Along the way, countless small parts kept smashing into the bus in Karlsruhe, almost smashing the glass, making everyone worry all the way, for fear that if they were not careful, they would penetrate the glass of the bus.

Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng looked at each other, this trip to Benfica was difficult, and it seemed that fanatical fans were everywhere. It's just that if you want to say that there is no reason for the Benfica club itself, Wu Feng doesn't believe it.

In this game, Karlsruhe is just a small team compared to Benfica, does it need to be treated with such a "big gift"?

He didn't know how amazing his record was at the moment at the clubs in Europe. Benfica does not have the strength of Bayern Munich, and they don't want to be able to decide the winner when they "visit" Karlsruhe next time, so the behavior of these fanatical fans, they also turn a blind eye, do not stop or encourage.

In this way, under the bumps and bumps, Karlsruhe and his party finally arrived at the hotel.

I thought it would be better when I got to the hotel, but they were wrong. There was a constant noise coming in from outside the hotel, and even the hotel staff were helpless about these things, after all, they had no right to restrain these fans, and they didn't make noise in the hotel.
