Chapter 332: Desperate Trouble
Ni Tu's theme in recent times is to recover from injuries, but he wants to return to the team as soon as possible, at least without seeing the team in dire straits and he can only stare dryly.
Kaiserslautern had a low period, with inconsistent results.
After a spectacular defeat against Borussia Dortmund that could compete for the best game of the season, bad luck seems to have been with the Red Devils in the Bundesliga.
First of all, Kurz's attacking player Ni Tu, who has been the focus of the new season, was out for a month with an injury, and the Chinese player missed the team's games against Hannover 96, Hamburg, Eintracht Frankfurt and Freiburg.
That is, since Ni Tu's injury, the team's performance has declined significantly, their record in these four games is 1 win and 3 losses, and only 3 points in 4 games, compared to their previous performance in the league, it is indeed a little unpleasant.
Kaiserslautern could have at least secured a draw if he could, but the clash with neighbouring Eintracht Frankfurt was also ruled out for offside.
It can be said that although the ups and downs of the team's results are related to the sharp reduction in the attacking power of the team in Ni Tu's absence, the so-called luck in the clouds seems to be harassing this team.
In fact, such a record is not too bad in the usual promoted polo teams, and many "fish belly teams" are struggling on the road to relegation in the first season of the top league.
If the heart is big enough, you can still bear such a result, after all, you have to pay a lot of tuition fees in the first season of the promoted horse.
But Kaiserslautern is no ordinary promoted team, not your average fish-belly team, and their performances in the previous league games have been so good that even they subconsciously believe that their team can make a difference in the new season.
The team's poor results and criticism are rising, as if Kaiserslautern is in the middle of an eventful time.
"In the first five rounds of the league, Kaiserslautern achieved a good record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, which can be said to be not easy for a promoted team, and they also seem to be in a period of rapid revival; But after the defeat to Borussia Dortmund, their good fortune seemed to run out, losing three of their four games, and the one that won seemed to be a fairer result from the perspective of the field, and they fought hard in this game, and God guessed that they were a little pitiful for the Kaiserslautern. ”
Sky Sports Germany commentator Marcel Leif commented after Kaiserslautern's 2-1 defeat to Freiburg in the ninth round of the league.
"Coincidentally, their failures during this period of time all start with the absence of one person, Ni Tu because of the overpower against Dortmund, resulting in his shoulder dislocation during the scramble, let me say, Ni Tu and Kaiserslautern still lack the ability to adapt to the Bundesliga, for a team like them, some games should be given up, otherwise when you try your best but still can't get back a win, why not recuperate and wait for the next game to regain momentum?"
It's not an important cup final but a Bundesliga, and it has 34 rounds per season, and the wins and losses of one city and one pool really don't matter at some times, and it really makes a good deal to exchange a doomed defeat for more than 2 wins in the next game.
What this well-known German commentator meant was actually to have a negative attitude towards Ni Tu's insistence on fighting Dortmund to the end. In his opinion, Ni Tu might as well fight in the duel between Hanover and Freiburg without being injured.
"Kaiserslautern is still too young to know what to lose! Away from the Bundesliga for too long, even basic survival skills have been forgotten...... Haha, hahaha! ”
At this time, Marsselleif affirmed Ni Tu's ability and his value to Kaiserslautern, but there was no element of praise in it.
He seems to want to say that Ni Tu's approach is extremely unwise, and his rash efforts have not helped the team in terms of results, and it has also affected his teammates and the team.
In the face of praise that was not like praise, Ni Tu had not yet stood up to say anything, and some of his teammates were already upset with themselves.
Kaiserslautern's main player Kirsch was the first to be unconvinced.
He is not a hot-tempered player, but such a well-known commentator is insulting the team's efforts, insulting the efforts of his teammates, and turning black into white, which is a little unbearable!
In Kirsch's opinion, no matter how famous you are as a commentator, Marcelleff has some truth even if you say it crookedly, but that is not a reason for you to publicly insult your teammates for their efforts.
"Mr. Leif may have been sitting in the comment booth for too long and is not very familiar with the running of the various teams, and if he does not know Kaiserslautern, I would like to lead him around a team that is destined to create myths again!"
Marcellleff didn't realise that his little whining could have such a huge impact.
Under the rendering of individual news media, Ni Tu has become the player he wants to see the most, and Kaiserslautern has also become his respectful existence.
Being a narrator doesn't mean that you have to say everything, they have the right to speak, but they can't have the impression of a supervisor without any basis, and it would be unwise to speak with tinted glasses in a grandstanding.
Another player from Kaiserslautern, Rakic was even more polite, and he jumped up directly: "We usually know that some people have a little bit of a mouth, what else can be left but that big mouth?" I rarely see such a dedicated person as Ni Tu, and if there is anyone in the whole of Kaiserslautern who deserves the least criticism, it must be him! ”
Rakic's anger was so angry that he almost didn't curse the streets, and Kirsch may have been lucky enough to use civilized language, but the Croatian player had no way to hide it.
Ni Tu did not show any abnormality because of a commentator's criticism, and he was on the cusp of the storm, and what he valued most at this time was physical recovery.
He thanked his teammates Rakic and Kirsch for their support, but still hoped that his teammates would not let him affect the team's preparations.
"Srjan, why are you like a shrew, not a gentleman at all!" Ni Tu joked at his friend.
Srjan patted his chest and said: "Ni Tu, don't worry, if these media talk nonsense in the future, we will go back together, they all speak with their mouths, who is afraid of whom!" ”
Ni Tu laughed: "Yes, who is afraid of whom!" The uncrowned king speaks with his mouth, and we better speak with his feet. ”
It seems easy, but he can't get back into the team right away, help the team through it with his on-field efforts, and then silence those who question the team!
Kaiserslautern FC also showed its integrity, and after the incident began to ferment, the club issued a statement:
We are disappointed by the recent remarks of some media people, Ni Tu as a member of the team, he used his tenacious fighting spirit to win back the respect of the team, competitive sports should have a fighting spirit, Ni Tu has what many of us lack of fighting spirit not to admit defeat, the team will unswervingly support Ni Tu.
Ni Tu, we are waiting for your return!
