Chapter 0154 - Gains and Losses
The ranking at the beginning is always the least to be trusted.
At times like these, the morale of the underdog team may be even better than that of the champion team if it is outstanding.
Because of the so-called championship team, the goal of the season can only be the championship.
In order to win the championship, a temporary result is nothing, just like a truly outstanding general, who never cares about the gains and losses of a city and a pool.
For a team like Bayern, the most important thing at the beginning of the game is to adjust the team's rhythm, reserve physical strength, and adjust the state.
In this regard, Aachen's strength is much worse, after all, Aachen's physically exhausting style of play will definitely be powerless in the future.
People like Zhuo Cunzhi, whose physical strength is quite good, dare not say that they can last until the end of the season.
But this does not prevent Aachen from accumulating 6 points with two wins to get the advantage of 5 goal difference after two rounds, ranking first in the Bundesliga!
And the Bayern just mentioned, the first two games were just one win and one draw, accumulating 4 points, and the heart is only in fourth place.
The two teams below Aachen and above Bayern are Rostock and Schalke 04.
Schalke 04 is also considered to be the powerhouse of the Bundesliga, although it is not as good as Bayern and Dort, but it is also a team with a foundation, not to mention competing for the championship, at least it is also a team that can compete for a place in European competitions.
Schalke 04 finished fifth in the Bundesliga last season and qualified for the Europa League.
If Schalke 04 is understandable, Rostock's performance is as unusual as Aachen's.
According to the final standings of last season, St. Pauli has accumulated 22 points from 34 rounds, Cologne has accumulated 29 points, and Freiburg has accumulated 30 points, and the three teams are the relegated teams in the Bundesliga last season.
In front of the three teams are Nuremberg with 34 points, Rostock with 34 points, and Ivbus with 35 points.
Nuremberg and Ivbus were Aachen's opponents in the first two rounds, and Aachen was defeated by 1:3 and 3:0 respectively, helping Aachen temporarily stand at the top of the Bundesliga.
Rostock also won both games, accumulating six points and four goal difference in second place, but they were a little better.
In the first round, they faced Munich 1860, a mid-table team in the Bundesliga, but Rostock beat them 0-2 away in the first round.
In the second round, Rostock's opponent was Nuremberg, and Rostock defeated their opponent again with a score of 2:0, which, like Aachen's victory, could only be regarded as a rookie peck.
Because of this, the top two teams in the Bundesliga are actually not very high.
Aachen will face Bayer Leverkusen next, and many people are waiting to see the joke.
Even Aachen's own fans didn't think the team could win, or that Aachen could take it to the top of the Bundesliga, even for a moment, was enough to cheer the fans.
Even if it's just a week, even if it's just a day, even if it's just a second, the top of the Bundesliga is the top of the Bundesliga!
Many Aachen fans are just like the holiday, the whole is full of smiles, and many of them have quit drinking a lot of alcohol.
As the saying goes, there is wine today, and tomorrow is sad, and tomorrow is sad.
When they lose in the next round, there's no reason to enjoy it like this!
As for Rostock......
Their opponent in the next round is Cottage Coast, and with their current form, even if Rostock is playing away, Cartbus will be difficult to win.
In other words, Rostock is likely to win the opening three in a row, which has really caught the eyes of many, including Aachen.
"Bayer Leverkusen, we're going to play Bayer Leverkusen next! I really want to change opponents with Rostock......" Joao couldn't help but howl.
"What are you talking about, hurry up and train, don't be lazy...... The coach is staring at you. Zhuo Cunzhi couldn't help but say a few words, seeing that he didn't care, and alluded to the position of the bald coach Ben Yaming.
Joao was almost frightened, and after a shudder, he immediately straightened his attitude.
"Diem, did you think we could win the next game?" Bernd didn't know when he came over.
“…… Possibly. After a moment's hesitation, Aachen gave an ambiguous answer.
Judging from the possibilities alone, it is too vague, and it is possible for a beggar to become an emperor.
"Well...... "Bernd looked quite troubled, "if we win the next game, we'll have three wins in a row." ”
Zhuo Cunzhi trembled when he heard what he said, and when he turned his head to look, he found that he seemed to be suffering from gains and losses.
"Bayer Leverkusen have sold Ballack and Ze Roberto, two absolute mainstays, and their performance will definitely have a lot of impact." Zhuo Cunzhi explained to him, "If you look at the first two rounds, it doesn't matter if they played Dortmund as a draw, and Botbus also drew when they played Botbus, which is a bit embarrassing." ”
Bernd laughed at him, and was less nervous.
Cottages had just lost 3-0 to Aachen, while Bayer Leverkusen and Cottages had to draw with each other.
From this point of view alone, there is no need for Aachen to be nervous.
However, this is just a mouthful, many relegation teams have also defeated the giants head-on, but the strength of the team can be judged by that innocuous game?
Apparently not.
Not to mention anything else, Aachen was also promoted to the Bundesliga last season with the third place in the Bundesliga, but the process was very difficult, and if you lose one more point, you will lose this qualification.
Compared with Aachen, the upgrade process of Bielefeld and Hannover 96 is much smoother, especially Hannover 96, with an absolute advantage, the championship of the Bundesliga was set early.
However, in the first two rounds of the Bundesliga, Hannover lost two in a row and are now in the relegation zone.
Their two-round opponents, Hamburg and Munich 1860, were ranked 9th and 11th respectively last season, both in the middle of the Bundesliga.
It stands to reason that Hannover's strength should be no worse than the two teams, and with the famous young coach Rangnick leading the way, it should not be such a result.
However, perhaps because of the departure of the original team's core Simaks, Hannover's two league games did not perform well.
Playing so poorly at the start was enough to affect the morale of the players, which was enough to give Rangnick a headache.
Bielefeld's performance was quite good, with a 3-0 home win over Bundesliga powerhouse Bremen and a 6-2 away defeat to Bayern.
Performance-wise, Bielefeld didn't have to be worse than Aachen, as they faced the top six teams in the Bundesliga last season in two consecutive rounds.
Such a win and one defeat is more convincing than Aachen's two victories.
It is precisely because the two games won are weak teams that Aachen's own players are a little lacking in confidence.
Bernd cares about players like Aachen, and it is inevitable that they will suffer from gains and losses.
What's more, the next away game against Bayer Leverkusen will definitely be uncomfortable.
The opponent is a strong team in the Bundesliga for many years, and the heritage is still there.
Midfielder Schneider, defender Lucio, and striker Kirsten are all famous stars in the Bundesliga.
The only good news is that Kirsten is very old and can only be a substitute for the new season, with little deterrence.
The bad news is that Simmak, the former midfield core of Hannover 96, joined Bayer Leverkusen for a transfer fee of 6.5 million euros, which to a certain extent made up for the loss of the two cores of Leverkusen's midfield.
If they can't win their next home game against Aachen, Leverkusen's morale will definitely suffer.
Therefore, they are afraid that they will go all out.
This is not good news for Aachen.
So even if it is two consecutive draws in the first two rounds, Zhuo Cunzhi doesn't dare to say how much chance he has of winning in the next game.
For Zhuo Cunzhi, the best news is that after this period of training, he has finally digested Hao Xiaodong's player card, and he can use the next player card!
