Chapter 382: Expectation
Most of the players in Kaiserslautern have not experienced any serious major finals, which means they lack the necessary game experience, but what they do have is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!
Although they did not have as much time to prepare as Schalke 04, Kaiserslautern's side have been in a state of high competition in the final stages of the season, and they have reason and confidence to carry that hunger to victory into this German Cup.
With the final date just around the corner, there is little time for the team to celebrate their fifth-place finish in the league and they need to immediately shift their focus to the showdown with Schalke 04 on 22 May.
It was the only real trophy that could be earned, and it was arguably the most important race of the season, and it was directly related to honours.
Coach Kurz did not show undue arrogance because his team beat Schalke 04 twice in the league, and as the person who should be calm, he cannot be overly optimistic like the fans of his own team.
Fans are emotional most of the time, and sometimes they put some unrealistic illusions on the team, but as a manager, you must think about every game that the team will face according to the local situation.
At this point in time, Schalke 04's squad strength is not comparable to Kaiserslautern's, and after the opponent shifted his focus to this must-win title, Kaiserslautern faced difficulties several times higher than in the league.
He is very aware of the strength of his team, so it is understandable that when preparing for this game, Kaiserslautern still has to base himself on defense, and then implement counter-attacking tactics, if you only talk about the strength on paper, now the Bundesliga Red Devils are not as good as Schalke 04, so don't do something to die and suffer face.
They have only a handful of players in German football so far, with one striker Rakic, midfielder Kirsch, defender Amedik and, of course, Chinese player Ni Tu, who are some of the more famous players in the Bundesliga.
Ni Tu can no longer be called Kaiserslautern's secret weapon, he has been used by Kaiserslautern as a typical example of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", and has also achieved good results, many teams, including the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich have planted a heel here in Ni Tu.
But after such a long time, all the teams have recognized the importance of this Chinese player to Kaiserslautern, and they have paid more and more attention to the "care" of Ni Tu.
Kurtz also understands very well that since concealment can no longer help, he doesn't want to hide anything at all, especially Schalke 04, the opponent of the German Cup final, this team has already suffered a big loss in Ni Tu's god.
"This game will be the first game for Ni Tu to really shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team, I believe he will be able to do this job well!"
Kurtz later wrote in his memoirs that you would go back in time in the future, and he did have a self-agitating element in it.
'And he has to do well, the whole team needs him to step up in the most crucial moments!'
The head coach knows he has to rely on key players when it comes to building the team together.
Small teams don't have so many options to spare, and Ni Tu really has to be a weapon for Kaiserslautern to beat their opponents!
"You all know the importance of this next match, so I won't say anything more, now that you've reached the final, I don't think you're going to settle for a runner-up, right? So, in the next few days, I hope you all put all your mind into the next game, we must get the most important game, come on, boys! ”
Every player should have a sense of dedication to the title, and Kaiserslautern players now value it even more, because most of them have an empty honour book.
The most important thing for a team is their strength, and complementing the strength is the attitude towards the game, if you want to maintain a good game mentality of a team, the best way is to make the team's players have a "hunger" for honor.
Kaiserslautern's training ground is in full swing right now, and the players are getting together as quickly as possible with the whole coach's "service" from the whole coach.
Rakic's main task is to score goals, and as Kaiserslautern's only regular striker, he will have to give his full weight in this game.
You can't let Ni Tu resist all the pressure.
Ni Tu is not worried about resisting responsibility, he has not yet shown any tiredness, and after ensuring that the team can qualify for next season's Europa League, he has shown more ease.
Because he already has security, Ni Tu knows that he has more room for maneuver, and there is no need to be too nervous in the final of the German team.
Of course, his emotions are not calm, he is always in a state of euphoria, and now he is going to play a very important final for his UEFA Europa League club team as a Chinese player, and if he contributes his due, Kaiserslautern will have every hope of winning this trophy!
"Flender Lixi, you can go to the stadium and cheer for the team with peace of mind, we will definitely help the team get back the championship of this game!"
Ni Tu assured his first friend in Germany that although he couldn't talk too much, if a player didn't even have the confidence to fight for glory for his team, he would have lost a point in terms of momentum in the first place.
As reported by state television, they showed Ni Tu pointing out the country, and he seemed to be developing in the direction of the backbone of the team on the field.
With the German Cup final scheduled for less than a week at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany, and with our player Ni Tu in good form and Kaiserslautern representing him in strong competitiveness this season, will this team be able to pull off another miracle in their first season back in the Bundesliga after a few years of absence? Welcome all the audience to watch the German Cup final in the 10-11 season on time, let us look forward to it together, and look forward to a very good performance of our players! ”
