Chapter 069: A Man's Request

Before the winter break, Aachen played eighteen league rounds.

After a 4-4 draw away from Bochum, Aachen will play Mainz again.

This season's Mainz, under the leadership of new manager Jurgen Klopp, has played a very imposing attacking football.

Seventeen rounds of league games have passed, and Mainz has accumulated 12 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 39 points and temporarily ranking first in the Bundesliga.

If Mainz can do the same in the second half of the season, they will be able to accumulate a high score of close to 80 points.

With such a high score, it can be said that it is not the slightest difficulty to be promoted to the Bundesliga.

Aachen travelled to Mainz and everyone knew it was going to be a tough battle with low odds.

In the first round against Mainz, because Xie Hui was not in good shape, Aachen lost 0:2 at home.

Now away to Mainz, everyone's mood is heavy, even Bernd and Schmidt, who both starts, have no intention of quarreling.

However, the game did not develop as expected.

The Mainz players seem to be quite tired and struggle to run aggressively on the pitch.

However, their tactics require quite a lot of quite active running, and it is naturally difficult for them to exert their full strength with such a half-dead and tired appearance.

Zhuo Cunzhi can see that the players in Mainz are so tired, probably because of this tactic.

They have been running for half a season, and every race is like a marathon, and over time, these players naturally get tired.

Zhuo immediately explained his findings to his teammates, and then changed Aachen's tactics.

Aachen, for their part, saw a marked increase in scrambling and running, forcing Mainz to expend more energy.

As a result, Aachen's midfield became a meat grinder, and Schmidt and Gellich naturally had no problem, they were both strong men.

Zhuo Cunzhi and Tiri, who are relatively thin, also did not have the upper hand in such a scramble.

The Mainz players were really tired, and their style of play was rough, and they were penalized a lot of topazes.

The situation gradually shifted in Aachen's favor, and manager Jurgen Klopp looked at his bench with a helpless look on his face.

The Aachen Line, having mastered the enemy's weakness, that is, the situation of the game, was naturally not in a hurry.

The first half ended with a score of 0-0 and neither side had many good chances.

Until the 70th minute of the game, Zhuo Cunzhi kicked straight and the ball reached the feet of Tiri, who was inserted forward.

The midfield talent, who came through the Aachen Academy like Bernd, seized the opportunity to get the ball to the door of Mainz.

Mainz didn't think about fighting back, but they still couldn't find a good opportunity under the layers of Aachen's players.

What's more, Aachen's attack was not vegetarian, especially Zhuo Cunzhi created a red card for his opponent, allowing Aachen to gain a numerical advantage in 50 minutes.

In the end, the match ended 0-1 with Aachen claiming an away win and ousting Mainz from the top of the league table.

Of course, more importantly, Aachen didn't concede a single goal in this game!

When Hag saw the score, he nodded with satisfaction.

He happily decided to keep Schmidt in midfield and Bernd to stay at the back.

As for the question of where to put Bernd's prestige in the start......

Hach said that he had no authority in the first place, and that he was able to command these boys solely because he liked to entertain guests.

So, after the last game and after this game, he invited everyone to the bar.

Bernd and Schmidt were full of coaches, and no one else pressed them, and a team conflict could not be said to have been resolved, but at least it was temporarily suppressed.

And after playing the game against Mainz, it is officially the winter break, which makes the Premier League players envious and jealous, because they don't have this thing.

The state of the player is like a string, and it is easy to break if it is tense all the time.

So even Zhuo Cunzhi, who is considered a training maniac, obediently returned home and enjoyed his holiday.

At this moment, a strange phone call suddenly came from home, and the old lady said that it was looking for him.

“…… It's not good. Zhuo Cunzhi said with a wry smile.

Now he is at home, staying at home for the first time in a long time, with his parents.

My father and mother were also very happy to see him come back, and talked about these changes in time, and also asked him to talk about his experience during this time.

Since Zhuo Cunzhi became a player in Aachen, Dad's shop has also been a lot more lively, and his work has been a lot busier.

In particular, the Chinese cuisine made by my father is absolutely first-class, which makes the guests who come and go full of praise, and these customers have gradually become loyal customers in the store.

Daddy Zhuo is far from anything else, his Chinese cuisine is absolutely authentic, and he is proficient in a variety of dishes.

It is said that this is how the old lady Chen Hui was chased by her father.

So even if there was news that Zhuo Cunzhi was going to transfer, the business in the store still didn't go down.

By now, Dad felt the need to hire a waiter to help him.

Of course, now that Zhuo Cunzhi is back, he was naturally arrested.

Poor Zhuo Cunzhi finally returned home during the winter break, wanting to have a happy Christmas, but now he has been tasked with this task.

However, Zhuo Cunzhi has been an assistant for so many years, so he is naturally familiar with the road, which has reduced a lot of burden on his father.

So, being a helper is not the most painful, there is one thing that is far more painful than this.

In order to celebrate his return, Dad made him fatty and delicious Dongpo meat.

Zhuo Cunzhi likes to eat Dongpo meat, Zhuo Cunzhi is very satisfied with his father's Christmas gift, and then he refuses with tears.

He's a professional footballer now, and this kind of food will squeeze his professional life.

By the time Christmas is over, we'll have about a month to go until the next round of the league.

Just when Zhuo Cunzhi was thinking about whether he should indulge, the phone call came.

"You still have to train for Christmas, can you physically stand it?" Zhuo Cunzhi couldn't accept it.

"They don't have a winter break in the Premier League, aren't they okay?" Bernd on the other end of the line retorted.

He wanted to train more, but there was no atmosphere or feeling for one person to train more, and a lot of training could not be done by one person, so he thought of Zhuo Cunzhi, who was called a training maniac.

"Do you think they don't want a winter break?" Zhuo Cunzhi said.

Premier League players hate the fact that they don't have a winter break.

Coaches such as Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have repeatedly criticized the FA's decision.

In the future, another famous coach ushered in the Premier League, and even said, "The Premier League has no winter break, just like a person can live by smoking three packs of cigarettes a day, but that is obviously not good for your health".

And now Bernd is going to do something similar.

"Then you're not here or not?" Bernd was impatient, he wasn't good at words.

"Of course." Zhuo Cunzhi replied without hesitation.
