Chapter 381: The German Cup, which the giants don't look down on

The final round of league matches has come to an end, and for most of Germany's professional football teams, the season is indeed over, and the players in the squad can go back to their respective homes to find their mothers, and it is time to get ready for a happy holiday.

But for the Kaiserslautern team, who have just arrived in the Bundesliga for one year, they are not happy to go to their holiday destination and enjoy the good mood of their season because they are still in the Bundesliga, because there is still a very important game waiting for them, that is, the German Cup, which the giants "don't like".

Kaiserslautern will face Schalke 04 in a final battle on May 22 local time, and the winner of this match will win the German Cup in the 10-11 season!

Although the portion is nowhere near as good as the league salad plate, the big chunk of the German Cup is still very attractive, and I don't know if it is refreshing to drink beer with him.

In any case, the German Cup is also a valuable championship trophy. Kaiserslautern and Schalke 04 are a bit more valuable because they will struggle to win the championship salad plate, so they have to settle for the German Cup, which is a very good relief title.

The gap between the end of the league and the final of the German Cup is only a week, which is plenty of time if there is a break between the two league games, but this is the final of the German Cup, which is a little short for both teams.

A cup is not the same as a league, and both teams know very well that it is a championship game after all, and naturally it should not be prepared like a league.

Unlike Kaiserslautern, Schalke 04, who have been on a downward trajectory due to distractions in the Champions League, have long since cut off their special expectations for league results, and their only expectation of league results has become relegation.

Now that the seemingly distant and imminent goal of relegation has been achieved, and without the constraints of the league, they have in fact more time to prepare for the final of the German Cup.

It is precisely because of the dismal results of the league that many people in this Ruhr team are holding back their energy, and the only focus of this energy, or the only outlet that the players can grasp, is this German Cup.

A lot of people have been staring at this game for a long time, and they can't wait to beat all their strength out in one go, just to finish the battle.

No matter which final it is, any of the teams that enter it are not desperate to win only one runner-up in the end, and who doesn't want to fight for honor? Kaiserslautern is like this, Schalke 04 is even more looking forward to it, and they are looking forward to it!

In preparation for the game, Schalke 04 coach Magath reverted to his usual extremely serious style, monitoring the day-to-day operations of his team around the clock.

There's no doubt that training specifically for Kaiserslautern is a top priority, and Magath is always looking for ways to break down the opposition.

"The team has lost to Kaiserslautern twice in a row throughout the season, so you can imagine that we must be able to appreciate the huge energy contained in this team, there is a saying that many people have been saying for a season, and now the opponent is higher in the league than us, and they have met us in the final, so if we can do that, Kaiserslautern is definitely not an ordinary team! I hope you understand, don't think that we are stronger than our opponents, you won't forget the 0:5 tragedy so quickly, right? ”

Magath continues to instill in his players this attitude of importance to the opponent of the game, Schalke 04 really do not have the capital to pride their next opponents, whether it is the league standings or the head-to-head record between the two sides, the Ruhr area Shakhtar is without exception at the disadvantage.

It is an indisputable fact that in the 10-11 seasons between the teams, Kaiserslautern was more successful than Schalke 04.

Such a result is also an extremely shameful thing for some players, the dignified First Division powerhouse, except for Bayern Munich, the first group of teams, was completely suppressed by a promoted horse!

"What a failure for us this season! You have to win the German Cup, or you don't know where to put your face! ”

Like Magath said, it's hard to believe that Kaiserslautern are a seemingly unremarkable team that has always done a lot of damage to their opponents, and they still have a promotion hat on their heads.

"Kaiserslautern can achieve such a good result, and it is absolutely inseparable from the key players in their team, I can not mention the other players for the time being, but you have to pay attention to one of them, that guy named Ni Tu is a time bomb on our team! In our game analysis meeting, it has been very clear and clear that this Chinese is the sharpest weapon in Kaiserslautern's attack! Whether it's technique or awareness, I can say without hesitation that there are very few people in our team who can match it, maybe at the beginning of the season I said this sentence will be incomprehensible to many of you, but I believe that we have played against them twice, we should not have any contempt again, right? ”

Magath's attention to Ni Tu is unprecedented, and it has exceeded the importance of the previous two league games, all of which are summed up by the lessons of blood and tears, especially the 5:0 that was painful by Schalke 04, and the five goals were like five steel knives poked into the hearts of Schalke 04 players.

"Putting aside those racial prejudices, players like Ni Tu deserve all of our respect and vigilance!"

Although Huntelaar is proud, he also has to admit that what his coach said is right, with a contrasting mentality, the Dutch striker even thought with some frustration that he was comprehensively suppressed, maybe he can say that he is in good health, but Ni Tu can still score goals and assist even if his physical condition is not outstanding!

The report card of 15 goals and 14 assists is a mountain that weighs on Huntelaar, although such a result is inseparable from the huge "rights" given to Ni Tu by Kaiserslautern, but the support given to him by the team He also repaid it with practical actions, Huntelaar pursed his lips and thought:

"If I can get this kind of treatment from Ni Tu, I will definitely be able to score more goals!"

Raul has a huge appreciation for Ni Tu, which was already evident in the first leg of the match, and he even had his mind set on recruiting for his old club Real Madrid.

"It can be seen that this Chinese has grown a lot in his first First Division season, and he is still less than 21 years old, there is no doubt that there is still great potential!"

Raul's evaluation of Ni Tu is quite high, so much so that he is looking forward to watching Ni Tu's performance in the next games, and see what new things happen in the German Cup match that the giants don't care too much about.

"Will Ni Tu bring us a more shocking experience?"
