Kaiserslautern will continue to play in the same formation that they tried and tested last season. They seem to be confident in this set of tactics and have not changed a bit in the higher level of the First Division.

There's a lot more that hasn't changed in Kaiserslautern and, apart from the formation of the game, they have retained the same backline configuration as they did last season.

The goalkeeper is still No. 1 Siper, and the back line from left to right are No. 17 Bougerra, No. 20 Rodney, No. 5 captain Amedic, and No. 23 Dirk.

It's a steel line in the second division. After showing amazing fighting ability last season, Kurz felt that there was no need to change the backline, and consistency at the back is crucial for a team!

The team has a stable backline, and it will be easier for the players in the back line to develop a tacit understanding with each other, and will not cause huge losses to the team due to mistakes in coordination.

In other words, the lack of understanding between the frontcourt players is only caused by the lack of offensive power, and a negligence on the part of the backcourt players is likely to bury the team's 90 minutes of effort!

The frontcourt players can waste chances, the backcourt players can't give the opponent a chance, and the fans will only remember the first play after the frontcourt player wasted many chances, which seems very unfair, even if the defender saves the danger many times, people will remember one of his mistakes more often.

Kaiserslautern has been consistent at the back.

The team's midfield has changed dramatically compared to their solid backline, with the exception of Ni Tu and Rakic, two old players from last season, Kurtz has made a major change in the midfield players in this first round of games.

The two midfielders were No. 19 Bilek and No. 16 Moravec, and No. 7 Kirsch was not used as a midfielder, but he was in the left winger position, and Rakic's partner in the forward line was No. 33 Hofer.........

It's a hugely revamped Kaiserslautern attacking combination, and whether or not they can pose a real threat to Cologne will depend on the next 90 minutes.

The referee's whistle pierced the sky at the Rheinenergy Stadium, and the two opposing teams immediately started with full force like clockwork......

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening to all viewers and friends, welcome to the channel to watch the first round of the German Football Bundesliga Cologne against the promoted Ma Kaiserslautern, I am Duan Chengxuan, first of all, I would like to introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides in this game......"

National television has a tradition of broadcasting Bundesliga games, and the significance of this broadcast is different, the reason why such a game was picked out for broadcasting is because there is a special place, the Chinese players appeared in the starting players of the visiting team.

"I believe everyone also knows that Kaiserslautern has a young player from my country, Ni Tu, who is another Chinese player on the Bundesliga stage after Yang Chen and Shao Jiayi...... Good! Let's see, it's him who is advancing with the ball now! Oops, Petit got stuck, Ni Tu was a little lacking in confidence, and he chose to pass the ball back to his teammate Billec......"

Duan Chengxuan briefly introduced Ni Tu's situation, not like the popular star Wu Xiaomu in China, when the popular star just debuted a few games to catch up with Barcelona's Champions League match, that game was grandly reported on national television, and the scene was unique for a while. And Wu Xiaomu and his agent and mother were able to escape the storm of 09, which is undoubtedly related to the publicity of national television.

Ni Tu is different, he is the kind of "tainted player", although now more and more people don't think so, but who makes them not leaders?

The leader prefers Yan Weini, who can "do things", loves Wu and Wu, and of course likes Wu Xiaomu, who can play football, and although Ni Tu's ball skills are already the best among Chinese players, he has broken some unspoken rules, so he is not so popular.

Sometimes it's really not that you can break ten thousand laws with one force when you have enough strength, no matter how powerful you are, you can't be "heavenly".

………

Kaiserslautern had just made a tentative attack to get a glimpse of the depth of the Cologne team, but they didn't dare to go deeper. After all, the home team is a Bundesliga oiler with rich combat experience, and did not give the away team "face", and Kaiserslautern's first attack was stalled because of this.

Kaiserslautern's attack stalled, and it was the turn of the "ram" Cologne to rush over with his own horns.

The Cologne offensive line sounded the horn of attack, including Podolski and his partner Novakovic, they did not carry out the so-called tentative attack like the opponent, and it was a thunderous momentum!

"In the first five minutes, things were a little bad for Kaiserslautern because they were beaten by Cologne at half-time! We see that Podolski broke through the defence of the visiting team Moravec, there was a large gap in front of him, Kaiserslautern had no one in the central midfield position, and the gap between their midfield and defenders was simply too big! Ni Tu returned to defend from the side, did he want to win a field? Kirsch is also moving this way, and it seems that the visitors know very well where their weaknesses are! “

Kirsch and Ni Tu have the same idea, to make up for the huge gap in the midfield as much as possible, and he sees that Ni Tu is already doing this, but he also knows that it is unrealistic to expect this team-mate to be able to defend successfully, and the coach has also told him to pay special attention to their dangerous area.

Podolski, he crossed the ball to his team-mate, Kirsch had to turn back again, but he didn't care about it! Cologne's tactics cooperated, and Podolski regained the football! He appeared on the flank, Kirsch was desperately trying to chase back, but he didn't have an advantage in terms of speed! Dangerous! Podolsky, he cut inside! ”

Kaiserslautern's players still failed to keep their opponents in the driver's seat, and Podolski soon passed the ball to team-mate Novakovic, who was running in the box looking for an opportunity......

"Novakovich! Novakovich! The ball is in! Cologne led at home and the game lasted only 7 minutes! Kaiserslautern suffered a blow at the very beginning of his Bundesliga debut! ”

The Cologne players were celebrating the expected goal, and Kaiserslautern would not have caused themselves too much trouble, and they had already taken the lead!

Podolski waved his fist, as if to lead the enthusiasm of the home fans, as if to tell the Kaiserslautern crowd who had just arrived on this stage that this is the Bundesliga!

Now it's up to Kaiserslautern to respond.........
