At 7 p.m. on 22 February, Aachen will play Mannheim away.

Speaking of Mannheim, in fact, he is looking for some connections around the corner, and he can also get in touch with Zhuo Cunzhi.

Zhuo Cunzhi and Xie Hui are teammates on the same team, and Yang Chen and Xie Hui are compatriots, and the agents of both of them are Schlapner.

Schlapner was previously the head coach of the Chinese national team, and he was also the head coach of Mannheim before.

When he was in charge, Mannheim was promoted to the Bundesliga, and he can be regarded as Mannheim's meritorious coach.

In fact, Schlapner also came to Zhuo Cunzhi, and his purpose was naturally to become his agent.

However, Schlapner has been in China for a short time, and he also knows a little bit about the Chinese people's sophistication.

So he invited Zhuo Cunzhi to a meal through Xie Hui, and only after half of the meal did he vaguely mention the theme of switching to him.

However, Jonas is the one who led Zhuo Cunzhi to his career path after all, even if his professional ability does make Zhuo Cunzhi more worried, but at least for now, Zhuo Cunzhi has no idea of changing agents, not to mention that Schlapner's level is not excellent.

As an agent, he still has a little network in Germany, and it is his credit that Yang Chen and Xie Hui can play in Germany.

But a year or two ago, Yang Chen fell out with him, and Xie Hui has always had a good relationship with him.

Relationships are not very strong, and Schlapner's greatest ability with players is transfer operations.

But his connections in Germany can at best move players to teams in the lower reaches of the Bundesliga like Eintracht Frankfurt.

Now even Hamburg is contacting Zhuo Cunzhi, and he naturally doesn't like Schlapner's connections, so Zhuo Cunzhi is not the slightest moved by Schlapner's invitation.

Regarding Zhuo Cunzhi's answer, Schlapner was not angry or even had obvious expression fluctuations, but just said "It's a pity".

Zhuo Cunzhi inexplicably felt that in fact, the other party had not given up this idea, and if the timing was good, he would still make a move.

Zhuo Cunzhi didn't tell Jonas about this matter, because he felt that it was unnecessary.

Of course, all this is a break in the interval, and when playing against Mannheim, Zhuo Cunzhi will not think about this.

……

When he saw Mannheim's lineup, Zhuo Cunzhi's expression was very strange.

Three strikers again, two high strikers and a little quick.

Against Allen, the opponent was also arranged in this way, since Aachen and Hannover played football, it seems that all the teams in the Bundesliga have mastered Aachen's weaknesses, and they have put on a double tower and a small forward lineup.

Do they not know that Aachen won 3-1 at home to Allen in that game.

But I have to say that a forward partner like Mannheim really puts pressure on Zhuo Cunzhi.

It should be said that Zhuo Cunzhi did not have much pressure, but there was a lot of pressure on Aachen's backline.

In particular, Spaniel, who has just recovered from injury, and Bernd, who is trying to become the heart of the defence, are the two who have the most pressure on them.

Coach Hag naturally couldn't watch the two of them being bullied, but there was only a limit to what he could do, and he could only bring in two defenders, Edwin and Daniel, from the reserves.

Both of them are over 1.85 meters tall and both are strong players, one of them started the pitch and the other sat on the bench.

Combined with Thierry Henry and Landgraaf's two full-backs, Aachen started with five defenders.

Aachen today is in a 532 formation, with Tierry, Schmidt and Zhuo Cunzhi in the midfield position, and Marcus and Joao up front.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a more defensive-oriented formation.

Not to mention the five defenders, in the midfield, Zhuo Cunzhi knows a little bit of defense, and Schmidt is both offensive and defensive.

However, just seven minutes into the game, Mannheim's high school striker Tebel scored a header, and he relied on his strong body to force Spannier as a backdrop.

Zhuo Cunzhi, who saw this scene, mainly focused on Spanier's body.

Rich experience has taught him that Spaniel is not unable to touch his opponents, but is scruples, even fears.

This injury was serious enough for Spanier to have a psychological shadow.

But in Zhuo Cunzhi's opinion, he only rested for a short time, which shows that his injury is not so serious.

In that case, why is he so afraid?

Zhuo Cunzhi did not understand Spaniel, just as Spaniel would never agree with Zhuo Cunzhi's thoughts.

He had a little more than a month off and missed several rounds.

While recuperating from his injuries, his heart was filled with anxiety.

Aachen's results are getting better and better, which puts a lot of pressure on him.

He considers himself an ordinary centre-back in the Bundesliga, and Aachen has no pressure in the middle of the table, but in the upper reaches can even threaten the promotion zone, there is a lot of pressure in his heart.

After he was injured, is the main position still there? Will the coach be dissatisfied with him? Will the team sell him?

With such doubts, Spanier slowly recovered from his injury and stood on the green field again.

Only this time, he no longer dared to make those "very dangerous" defensive moves, for fear that he would be injured again, but he was naturally replaced by someone else.

If his injury had been a little more serious, would he not have been able to continue playing?

As soon as he thought of such an ending, Spanier developed a fear for the future.

He's a professional footballer and he doesn't know what he's capable of doing without football.

With such concerns, it is natural that Spaniel will not perform very well.

So in the seventeenth minute, Aachen's backline was broken again, and Mannheim's other centre-forward, Laszlo, scored the goal.

Same header, same Spanier!

At this point, Hag was well aware that Spanier was not the answer Aachen was looking for at the back.

However, it has only been less than twenty minutes since the start of the game, and it is a bit hasty to make substitutions now.

What's more, Spaniel's previous performances have been pretty good, and Hach still has some expectations for him.

If Spaniel were replaced now, it would be one problem to lose the tie, and it would be another problem for Spaniel to lose confidence.

After thinking about it for a while, Hach still didn't act rashly.

On the field, Zhuo Cunzhi felt that he was playing very depressed.

It's not that he didn't pose a threat, and he wasn't bad, but at 2-0, it didn't make sense.

No sooner had he made up his mind to try to stay in Aachen than he was confronted with such a match.

Could it be that God was telling him that he should leave Aachen in this way?
