Chapter 0240 There is a big gap between the same geniuses
After a home draw with Kaiserslautern, Aachen had another tough game.
Away against Hertha Berlin, at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, which can accommodate more than 70,000 fans, Aachen and Hertha Berlin drew 1:1.
Marcelinho's performance was a horrific one, creating a full ten chances to scare Benaglio and Aachen's backline.
Unfortunately, Hertha Berlin's attacking ability is still a little worse, and many times, Marcelinho has to create chances and have to take them himself.
He was also a lazy man, but now that the season is coming to an end, he doesn't have much energy left.
After only half a game, Marcelinho had to be substituted due to a decline in physical strength.
But before that, he had already set up Parr for the opening goal.
In the second half, the Aachen players finally picked themselves up.
If you really want to say that, excluding Marcelinho's words, Aachen's strength is not at all weaker than Hertha Berlin.
After all, apart from Marcelinho, Hertha Berlin's lineup has no other star figures.
The poor first half was mainly due to the shock of the Hertha Berlin fans.
In fact, the seats at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin were not full, but if you roughly calculated, there were still more than 50,000 spectators.
Aachen's home stadium can only accommodate less than 30,000 fans in total, which is really far from Hertha Berlin.
As a team in the capital, although Hertha Berlin's results are not outstanding, looking at this magnificent stadium, it can also be ranked in the top ten in the whole world!
The players in Aachen have not seen much of the market after all.
One of Aachen's players counts as one, and all of them are playing at the level of the top five leagues for the first time.
And even in the Bundesliga, there are only Bayern and Dort who can be more terrible than Hertha Berlin.
It just so happened that in the away games against Bayern and Dort, Aachen was defeated miserably.
Of course, there is a gap in strength, but the home advantage cannot be ignored.
It can be said that the Aachen in the first half was not the real Aachen.
Coach Stevens made the mistake of replacing Marcelinho.
Even if Marcelinho's physical strength is a little exhausted, it is not yet at the limit.
What's more, even a Marcelinho who is not a diligent runner can play a more useful role on the field than a blue-collar worker!
One thing that was visible to the naked eye was that after Marcelinho's departure, Bernd's performance immediately became conspicuous.
He swept around in midfield and gave Fayer a chance to catch his breath.
The midfielders had a chance to breathe, and Aachen had a chance to breathe.
Soon, Ribery's performance picked up.
At this time, another weakness of Hertha Berlin was exposed again - their full-backs were not strong.
On the right flank of Hertha Berlin, Ribery was almost reckless, reckless and unscrupulous.
Stevens looked at Ribery and then at Arne on the left side of Aachen, and couldn't help but regret it.
At one time, Hertha Berlin was also pursuing Arne.
However, with Aachen's repeated price increases, Hertha Berlin also backed down.
After all, Arne had only played in the Bundesliga before, and he was not the absolute main player.
Stevens also dared not say whether his level could be worthy of Hertha Berlin.
Anyway, the opponent in the bid is Aachen, let him experience two years in the weak team, and if he performs well, just spend some money to buy him back.
Of course, if the performance is not good, then there is no need to say more.
Now it seems that Arne's performance is more than good!
If Arne is present, where does Stevens need to worry about the full-backs!
What's more, Aachen has performed so well this season that he could even get a European spot.
Arne, I'm afraid I don't want to leave Aachen for a short time.
This is a headache for Stevens!
Even more of Stevens' headache is the current problem.
There was no way to contain Ribery, there was no way to stop the Aachen offensive.
As a former League Cup winner, Stevens quickly calmed down.
To be sure, it is unlikely that Ribery will be cut off from Joao and Xie Hui.
Xie Hui is okay to say, but Joao's running position is a little difficult to understand.
Even if Stevens repeatedly asked the players to keep an eye on him, he often lost it.
The point is that Stevens himself often misses this slippery kid.
Standing in his position, you can see the situation of the whole scene, and you often miss this kid.
Thinking about it this way, Stevens is not too embarrassed to blame his own players.
What's more, Ribery himself has the ability to shoot with one hand, and it is not enough to prevent him from passing.
Having studied Ribery well before the game, Stevens had his own approach.
"Van Blick, keep an eye on him!"
"Simurich, look at the time to tackle!"
"Pretz, attack their right flank!"
After setting it up, Stevens glanced defiantly at Hach's position.
That's right! Hertha Berlin's defense on the right was problematic, but Aachen wasn't much better!
Henry is a player who is at the Bundesliga level in defense, and he likes to plug in to help attack, he is a time bomb on the Aachen defense!
Hach didn't see his eyes, still watching the situation on the field with concern.
But a few minutes later, as the situation unfolded, he was relieved again.
Stevens frowned.
"Pretz, you're old...... Stevens said with a slight sigh.
In the 98-99 season, Prets was crowned the top scorer in the Bundesliga with 23 goals, and he was also the best player for Hertha Berlin other than Marcelinho.
But now he is no longer a star, it should be said that his strength can no longer stand at the level of a star.
The year he won the Golden Boot, he was 32 years old, and this year, he is 36 years old!
It is not easy for a player of this age to be able to appear on the green field.
Stevens knows even more that Pretz himself has said that after this season, he will choose to retire.
Glancing at Marcelinho on the bench, Stevens regretted it a little, and then he was angry again-
Can't these Brazilian geniuses work a little harder?
Look at the genius of Aachen, whether it is Zhuo Cunzhi off the field or Ribery on the field, they are all known for their diligence!
The players are also geniuses, but why is there such a big difference in attitudes between them?
Seriously, only in this area did Stevens really want to ask Hach.
When Stevens was helpless, something even more helpless happened.
In a corner, Xie Hui received a cross from Ribery and headed the ball into the goal, but the ball was stronger than he expected, making his hands twist a little.
As a result, the ball flew back into the box again.
Joao was the first to arrive and shot again, and it was amazing that he almost fired an anti-aircraft gun from such a short distance, and the ball hit the post and bounced back into the box again.
In the chaotic battle, Bernd endured the pressure of the players on both sides and stretched out his feet to attack the goal again.
Killari had already stood up, but in the chaos of the battle, he could not see the situation clearly, and he did not dare to act rashly.
It was a full second after Bernd's shot that he realised his opponent had hit the target.
And that's enough time for the ball to cross the goal line......
“toooooooooooooooooor!!!”
