After the warm-up game, Karlsruhe continued to train as usual, but Coach Becker added a few defenders and Wu Feng to try to keep their defensive intensity unchanged even if they were replaced by substitutes.

On the other hand, there are many problems with forwards, two of the three main strikers are newly recruited, and it can be seen from this warm-up game that there is still relatively little cooperation between them.

So before the season officially starts, head coach Becker still has a lot of work to do, he has to prepare a few sets of formations, but almost all of them are lineups with Wu Feng as the core, because as a goalkeeper fatigue or injuries are relatively rare.

Soon the time came on August 11, 2006, and today was the first match time of the German second division, Karlsruhe away to Burghausen, both teams were in the same place last season, but Karlsruhe collapsed later.

In the pre-match press conference, Becker kept a low profile, and Karlsruhe and Burghausen were in a similar situation against a team that had recently been promoted to the Bundesliga.

"Burghausen was not much different from us in the Bundesliga last season, they were very attacking and were at the top of the Bundesliga at one point," Becker said. We were only a team in the third division two seasons ago, this game is very difficult for us, we must fight with will and courage, we will not give up, Karlsruhe never gave up in the dictionary. ”

Burghausen coach Pres was also not boastful before the game, and since they had similar results in Burghausen and Karlsruhe last season, Pres was just as cautious about the first home game of the new season.

He first talked about the new players, the goals of the season, and the run-in of the players, and finally said: "Karlsruhe did not make it to the Bundesliga at the end of last season, but we can't underestimate them. Their new arrivals are very strong and they are very attacking and they won 4-0 against Hoffenheim. It would be disastrous for us to ignore a team like this. But this time on our home turf we will definitely get the final victory. ”

Burghausen's home stadium, the Wackerl Sports Park, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people, has arrived today with less than 20,000 people, including thousands of fans in Karlsruhe.

In the first important match of the season, the president of the club in Karlsruhe, Thaler, followed him to Burghausen.

Before the game, he even went to the hotel where the players stayed to cheer Wu Feng and them on. The chairman of the club came, but instead of calming the players' moods, on the contrary, making the players more nervous, Federico even smiled bitterly and said to Wu Feng after the chairman left, he would rather the chairman come back after the game.

At 16 o'clock, 59 minutes before the official match of the German second division, the game is about to begin.

Burghausen (4-4-2): No. 1 - Manuel Riemann; No. 3 - Diarra, No. 23 - Gio, No. 2 - Osago; No. 19 - Garcia, No. 7 - Yassin, No. 8 - Radwis, No. 16 - Zapatel, No. 12 - Ronald Schmidt; No. 10 - Bajram Nebihi, No. 9 - Alejandro Beleri.

Burghausen played out the traditional attacking formation of 442, with two technical players in midfield, Zapatel and Ovila, and the strikers paired with partners Bellonger and Keylor Navas, who have been together for several seasons in a row.

Karlsruhe's starting lineup is (3-4-1-2): No. 1 - Wu Feng; No. 3 - Eichner, No. 5 - Stoll, No. 24 - Gravel; No. 10 - Porcello, No. 8 - Booker, No. 7 - Federico, No. 12 - Adobe; No. 9 - Thiem, No. 11 - Capalani, No. 18 - Freis.

Finally, at 16:59, the first match of the 2006-2007 season of the German second division officially began.

The tension of the Karlsruhe players disappeared as soon as the game began, and the team's style was already fierce, and their ferocity was immediately aroused in the boos of the fans from the first minute.

Although they played away from home, they were anti-away and took the initiative to attack first, so that the players in Burghausen could hardly believe it, and in turn attacked with all their might?

At first, Burghausen had a disdain for Karlsruhe, believing that they would be able to win comfortably at home.

They have been firmly established in the Bundesliga for several seasons in a row, while the opposition has just risen to the top and is like the nouveau riche, once they are hit, they will collapse, which is why they collapsed last season.

In fact, before the game, Pres warned the players in Burghausen not to take this team lightly. It is definitely not just the promotion of the Bundesliga to achieve the results that they have achieved now, but the players in Burghausen have not listened much to the words of the newly joined manager Pres.

Ten minutes into the game, the Burghausen men suffered a bit as their attacks were stubbornly blocked on the edge of the opposition penalty area and they didn't even finish a shot inside the woodwork.

Karlsruhe's two counter-attacks almost cost them their lives, but Capalani was unprepared and a little nervous at the start of the game, when he received Thiem's volley in the box and a shot from the bottom of the box to save Burghausen from being punctured twice.

Coach Becker, who was on the sidelines, saw that Capalani was still a little nervous, and hurriedly shouted from the sidelines, telling several forwards to stabilize their positions and shoot at the right time.

In the seventeenth minute, the onslaught Karlsruhe finally exposed the weakness of the number of defenders, Radeves got Yassin's side pass in the midfield, dribbled the ball quickly down, shook Gravel's defense on the bottom line, and passed the ball to the other end of the penalty area. The ball flew low and fast and headed straight for the far corner of the goal.

Originally, Wu Feng saw Gravel rushing up and being broken through, and the corners of his eyes were twitching. Sure enough, Burghausen midfielder Radevis split the ball immediately after completing the breakthrough to attract firepower.

Wu Feng saw another midfielder from the right side of the penalty area at high speed at this time; And Eichner didn't step forward to stop him, and was directly pumped to the right corner by the other party.

There was no time to complain, and it was also the result of Eichner's confidence in himself, and in training, such a shot did not pose much of a threat to him.

The football flew almost slowly in Wu Feng's sight, and the ball speed seemed fast to others, but for Wu Feng, it was completely slow motion.
