Kurtz had a good idea in his mind, and the team's adjusted forward line was co-led by Rakic, the absolute main force last season, and Ni Tu, a young Chinese who was promoted to the first team this season, and he wanted to create this classic combination of "one high and one fast, one old and one young", but he did not expect that it would take some work.

In the manager's mind, this arrangement will indeed ensure that the team's forward line will be difficult to match in the second division. They have the fulcrum, they have the pace, they have the ball, they have the pass, they look really well-rounded. Putting Rakic and Ni Tu together can really make the team invincible if they can.

However, there will always be a distance between the ideal and the reality, and in fact it is really not a good game to pinch the two together at the beginning, Kurz is thinking too simply in this regard, after all, they are two big people, and the team is not just a collection of numbers and easy stacks between players.

Kurtz calculated everything, and the safest one was also an unexpected situation, which was also unexpected by the two parties.

In the 10th round of the league, Kaiserslautern returned to host a strong Fortuna Dusseldorf side, the visitors are an old team with many years of experience in the second division, and you won't find it strange to beat any other team in the second division.

However, Kaiserslautern's recent record is indeed a bit scary, so the Dusseldorf boss was very low-key in his pre-match press conference, saying: "We know that Kaiserslautern are unbeaten in nine league games, they have not lost a game since the start of the season, they are firmly in top of the league and have reached the round of 16 in the cup...... It's a very strong team and my players and I don't come here with any specific goals, sometimes it's important to learn from other people's experience and hopefully we can learn something from this next game. ”

Listen, what a low-key gentleman, and how happy it would be for the Kaiserslautern players to hear these words! "They want to learn from us! They adore us! ”

In many cases, some perpetrators of psychological warfare do not know whether their tactics are effective or not, and some people simply do not know that they are using psychological warfare, but the "lethality" they have formed has indeed turned their opponents around.

No matter how Kurtz is still very motivated, he wants to try to win the game, so let a striker like Rakic come back, and the Kaiserslautern players are ready to welcome the modest Dusseldorf visitors at home with enthusiasm, and some people have begun to yearn for 10 rounds of unbeaten games, 12 rounds of unbeaten in the official season of the season, yes, they do yearn for, "unbeaten season is not difficult"!

But the truth is far beyond most people's expectations, and the cruel results are really unacceptable......

"O~ incredible! Jovanovic! Jovanovic scored twice!! Fortuna Dusseldorf lead Kaiserslautern 2-0 away and ...... It's the 89th minute of the game! The home team is lost!! ”

The radio anchor shouted loudly, as if to remind everyone on Kaiserslautern's side of the fact that they did not want to see it, and that they had indeed lost.

The lost game, from the process point of view, they were not wronged, the team was a little too messy throughout the game, and there was no clear system and coordination ideas.

It stands to reason that they will be stronger with Rakic, and many people do think so, but the problem happens to be that the team's forward line didn't pose much of a threat in the 90 minutes today.

After watching this game, we can be sure that Ni Tu and Rakic need to run in well, and a new style of forward that is different from his predecessors needs to be clearly coordinated by the whole team. Ni Tu and Rakic are like a pair of key parts that are not compatible with each other on the court, causing the whole team's big machine to not work well, or rather, Ni Tu is the redundant part of this game.

According to the manager's vision and arrangement, the team has finally completed the puzzle of their tactical board after having a high point, and they can finally enrich their offensive routines.

And given Srgjan Rakic's huge popularity and influence in the team, he is the tallest and most conspicuous in the front court, and he has the most perfect cooperation in the team, and his teammates habitually go to him when passing the ball. originally liked to shoot, as the main scorer, Rakic's desire to score goals after returning from injury was particularly strong, and for a while, Ni Tu's time on the court was greatly reduced, and he did not get Rakic's ball, and the existence of Ni Tu on the field was indeed "redundant".

In fact, Ni Tu's only play was an unreasonable solo shot in the second half, he started to dribble from the midfield by himself, dribbled past the opponent and barely kicked in front of the penalty line, but the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper. But it was worth noting that it was the only shot from goal range in the entire second half from Kaiserslautern.

The match was a thrilling affair at the Fritzwalt Stadium, but it was disappointing that the momentum did not result in a win for their home side, and the fans in the stands looked a little overwhelmed, only to be poked two bloody holes in them just as everyone was expecting another unbeaten run.

"It's unbelievable, what's going on with our team? How could you lose so much and have no power to fight back?! ”

The fans are talking to themselves, they are immersed in the pain of losing the game, in fact, if you think about it, they are not wronged, there are two fatal problems that have been clearly placed in front of the eyes of the Lauten fans: the proud army will be defeated, and one mountain will not tolerate two tigers.

In either way, Kaiserslautern lost this game with good reason and a clear loss.

"I don't know if this game is an upset, if you talk about the results alone, Kaiserslautern, who have not tasted a defeat in the season, finally suffered the bitter fruit of their first defeat today, and the leader finally hit the south wall is indeed a small upset; But if you look at the normal game from another angle or some other angles, Fortuna Dusseldorf did teach the conceited opponent a good lesson, and at the critical moment, I don't know what went wrong with Kaiser's frontcourt, and the home team with internal and external troubles lost at the right time! ”

As the commentator summed up the game, it was a game that didn't count as an upset, and Kaiser deserved to lose...... But apparently none of their players will be satisfied with this result, but if they lose, they lose, as Kurz said to his assistant Rutz,

"The game is over, and it's just a waste of time to be frustrated, so it's better to focus on solving the problem, and our team has a little problem, isn't it?"
