Chapter 376: The German Cup is also to be won
When it came to this topic, several people were a little silent, this is an unavoidable reality, and professional football players have only been brilliant for more than ten years, or even a few years.
Once this time has passed, new people keep popping up, and sooner or later they will be eliminated by the times. But Ronaldo is still good, at least he has achieved fame and earned money that others can't earn in a few lifetimes.
"Forget it, this topic is too heavy, you guys go back early, we have to go to Wolfsburg in two days, and the second round of the German Cup is about to begin."
Wu Feng ended the topic and asked Capalani and the others to go back first.
"Okay, let's go, but we won't be able to play the next game. The coach plans to take the players of the second team to practice their hands, and they can take a break these days. ”
Hearing their words, Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng looked at each other and smiled mysteriously, this was already in their reaction, but they had their own countermeasures.
Just before Becker was about to lead the players to Wolfsburg, Wu Feng approached him and explained his intentions.
"Wu, you also know that our team does not have the strength to fight on the third line......" Facing the opinions of the core of the team, Becker did not directly dismiss it, but tactfully said the situation of the club.
"Coach, I know that, but you know I'm a goalkeeper, even every game, it doesn't make a big difference to me. And China is a magical country, you also know Chinese kung fu, in terms of physical strength, I basically don't have any problems. And Kojo, you just have to put him on the pitch again in the second half, and if something goes wrong with him, I agree to replace him immediately. ”
Wu Feng looked at Becker eagerly, he was eager to win every game, and it was his desire to lead the team to more victories.
Looking at Wu Feng's fiery eyes, Becker was silent, and he paced back and forth in the office. Wu Feng didn't bother him, he waited quietly, he knew that this decision was difficult, and this was the best situation for Karlsruhe this season.
For more than ten minutes, the two did not say a word in the office, and it took a long time for Becker to stop.
"Alas, being young is good, Wu, I can agree. But if there is any accident between you and Zhang in the game, I will replace you as soon as possible. You have a stake in the future of our club. You have a better future ahead of time, and I don't want to overdraw you early. ”
"No problem, coach, you can rest assured! Wait for us to give you a big surprise! Wu Feng smiled, this result is exactly what he wants, youth has no regrets, why not take advantage of your ability to get more possibilities.
On October 30, the Karlsruhe players set off for Wolfsburg, and the eighteen-man roster was almost expected by the media. However, unexpectedly, Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng actually appeared in the list of eighteen people, and Wu Feng was the starter.
“hat? Is Coach Becker crazy? At this time, Wu Feng was not allowed to rest and rest, especially Zhang Cheng, who was only 19 years old. The German Cup is long overdue. ”
The media have questioned Becker's decision, thinking that Becker wants to win and wants to go crazy, and does not look at the specific situation of the team.
Far away in China, almost all fans began to crusade against Coach Becker's tactics, and such a game that had been abandoned a long time ago actually allowed Wu Feng to start. This is completely overdrawing the potential of China's future stars, and they have left messages to Song Xinqiang on the New Wolf Weibo column, hoping that Wu Feng can transfer as soon as possible and stay away from this impersonal club.
The reaction from the radical fans in Karlsruhe was even stronger, believing that since the team is not capable of fighting on three fronts, it is also necessary to abandon the German Cup. They kept calling the club and asking Becker to give Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng more rest and focus on the Bundesliga and the Europa League in the future.
In the face of such and such a "crusade", Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng were caught off guard, they never expected the fans to react so much. However, they are also grateful for the support and love of these fans, which made them very touched.
"I'm sorry, Coach Becker, for letting you suffer this grievance!"
"yes, coach, why don't we go and explain it to the fans!"
Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng couldn't help it, and went to the office to explain to Becker, hoping to eliminate the fans' dissatisfaction with Becker.
"Haha, it's okay. I'm an old man, what is there to worry about, isn't it just to be scolded by the fans. Before you came here, I didn't know how many fans had scolded me, and what other swearing could make me uncomfortable. You just have to play with peace of mind, you don't need to deal with other things, the fans will understand later. ”
Becker said with a smile, as if he didn't take these scoldings to heart, but persuaded Wu Feng and the two to go back.
Soon the second round of the German Cup began, and although Karlsruhe played Wolfsburg twice since last season, this time it was a completely new Karlsruhe for Wolfsburg. Among the starters, except for Wu Feng, none of the players they knew.
Karlsruhe played in a 4-3-3 formation, with goalkeeper Wu Feng, defenders: Merman, Gadolin, Walski, Gravel, Hag, Vazenik and Puys in midfield, Dundee, Thiem and Turck in the forwards.
The home team Wolfsburg is still 4-4-2, with Simon Jench in goal, Van der Hayden, Quiroga, Costa and Alex in defenders, Křinovich, Monteyanu, Marcelinho and Russ in midfield, and Dzeko and Aderton in the forward line.
After the start of the game, Wu Feng was not polite, and immediately let his teammates launch a quick attack on Wolfsburg.
However, Karlsruhe's attack did not work, Magath studied Karlsruhe's tactics thoroughly, and he knew Becker's tactical play, so he always reminded the defenders to be highly concentrated and not to be attacked by Karlsruhe.
He sent in Russ, who was followed by Haag, the playmaker of the Karlsruhe game. Russ also did a good job of not letting up for a minute and didn't give Hag an easy chance to get on the ball in the opening period.
And Wolfsburg are not in a hurry to attack, and the veteran coach Magath is an old man, and he believes that this game is a process of patience with Karlsruhe. Karlsruhe are now full of substitutes and second-team players, who are either lacking in quality or more eager to shine, so Karlsruhe may be attacking aggressively at the beginning.
If they can grind Karlsruhe without them breaching the goal, then Wolfsburg will have a chance to win the game. If you rush to the goal, then most of them will end in failure, and strong teams such as Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund have lost to Karlsruhe because of this. So Magath didn't want to make that mistake.
Karlsruhe were a little discouraged by Wolfsburg in the first half, who are now third in the Bundesliga and are eager to finish the game quickly.
Karlsruhe are in high spirits at the moment, and they are a little unhappy to see that they have played for more than half an hour without scoring, and the full-backs and centre-backs have a tendency to press forward.
