Chapter 096: Six consecutive wins
After an away win at Mannheim, Aachen's next two games are against Schweinfurt and Saarbrücken.
Neither of these teams is very strong and they are now in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga, which is much weaker than Aachen.
Riding on the momentum of the away win over Mannheim, Aachen have been outstanding in both games.
On 3 February, Aachen hosted Schweinfurt and proved himself qualified to be the main midfielder in Aachen with a long-range strike in the first half.
In the second half, Diane, who became the team's rotation, broke the door of Schweinfoot again.
He has always been a stable scoring point for Aachen, even if he became a substitute, he has not reduced his training, and he can play a role as soon as he comes on the field.
2:0, Aachen had a thrilling home win over Schweinfurt.
On 10 February, Aachen took on Saarbrücken away.
Despite being deep in the relegation zone, Saarbrücken did not give up on the game.
It is better to say that if he even gives up the home game, the last shred of Saarbrücken's hope of relegation will disappear completely.
Under intense pressure, Saarbrücken's men did well, scoring the Aachen goal in the 18th minute.
But Aachen's strength must be above Saarbrücken after all, and after stabilizing the situation, Aachen began to fight back.
Soon, in a corner kick tactic of Zhuo Cunzhi, the two sides were entangled with each other in the penalty area, and the situation was chaotic.
Saarbrücken goalkeeper Pete couldn't see the situation clearly and didn't dare to act rashly.
In the midst of the chaos, Cayas kicked the ball and knew that the ball had crossed the goal line, and Pete reacted.
It is worth mentioning that Kayas, who scored this goal, didn't even know that he had rubbed this goal.
By the second half, Saarbrücken's momentum was much weaker.
Now they are last in the standings, and it can be said that they have no confidence in playing anyone.
In desperation, head coach Dooley could only arrange for the team to play defensive counterattacks and strive to get a point.
Even a single point is crucial at a crucial time like relegation, and Saarbrücken has only picked up 15 points so far.
However, Saarbrücken, who is playing at home, has put on such a gesture, and fans can not help but be disappointed even if they understand the team's situation.
In disappointment, it is naturally impossible for the fans to shout hoarsely for the team as they did in the first half.
In a sense, Saarbrücken's home advantage was offset quite a bit.
What's more, Aachen's midfield is far stronger than a broken backline.
Xie Hui, Joao, Marcus, Zhuo Cunzhi, Schmidt, Cayas...... Such a squad is fully qualified to establish itself in the Bundesliga!
Saarbrücken wanted to play a counter-attack, but slowly found that the ball could not be crossed by his own midfielder.
Without the drag of defense, Aachen's attack can be said to be wave after wave, and Saarbrücken is like a lonely boat in a storm, with the risk of subversion at any time.
Hag was also not reconciled to a draw, replacing the physically exhausted full-back Landgraf with Tierry to further strengthen the team's attack.
In the 55th minute, Zhuo Cunzhi's free kick hit the goal directly, and the ball hit the post and popped up.
In the 72nd minute, Cayas crossed from the side, Xie Hui's header was saved by the goalkeeper, and Joao wanted to make up the shot, but was advanced by the defender.
In the 84th minute, Marcus received a corner kick from Zhuo Cunzhi and crossed into the near corner to break through the goal of Saarbrücken.
After recovering from his injury, Marcus proved his quality and should never have stayed in the Bundesliga after coming from Bayer Leverkusen.
At this point, the time left in the game was running out, but Saarbrücken did not say that they fought back, and they were reversed, almost lost their burden, and began to waste time in a daze.
Aachen are ahead on the road and are naturally happy to waste time with them.
By the time manager Dooley woke up the players, the game was coming to an end.
1:2, Aachen won away against Saarbrücken.
The media are singing the praises of Aachen's achievements.
You know, after this match, Aachen has won six in a row!
When Aachen suffered a 4-0 defeat at Oberhausen, fans even began to worry about Kiachen's relegation.
But who would have thought that after that game, Aachen's form can be said to be bursting all the way, winning consecutive battles, and winning six games in a row!
Six wins in a row, what a strange word, what an amazing word, what a word of ecstasy.
When Mannheim led Aachen by two goals, Zhuo Cunzhi suspected that it was God's guidance.
When Aachen won six in a row, he believed it was God's guidance.
Now, after 26 rounds of league matches, Aachen has 15 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, accumulating 50 points and ranking second in the standings.
At the top of the list is Hannover 96, who are in excellent form, although they have now lost to Bochum, and their unbeaten golden body has been broken, but they have opened up a gap with other teams in points.
With 57 points, they are seven points ahead of second-placed Aachen, and with only eight rounds remaining, they have all but booked a promotion spot.
Behind Aachen is the traditional Bundesliga powerhouse Bielefeld, who now have 49 points, just one less than Aachen.
With a steady and slow upswing, they have come from behind and are now standing in the escalation zone.
In fourth place is Mainz, who have performed well before.
However, their background is too shallow, manager Jurgen Klopp is a newcomer to the coaching world after all, and their tactics are too physically demanding, and they may be out of the promotion zone for the first time since the start of the league.
However, Mainz now have 49 points amassed and are only behind Bielefeld on goal difference, so they must not be considered a threat.
After Mainz, there are the traditional powerhouses of the Bundesliga, Fürth, who have performed well, Bochum, who have relegated from the Bundesliga, and Union Berlin, who are slowly stabilizing their form.
Yang Chen and his Eintracht Frankfurt are in eighth place, and they have only accumulated 42 points, and they have basically said goodbye to promotion.
It is also for this reason that more and more Chinese reporters are focusing on Aachen.
Here is Xie Hui, who is in good form, and here is Zhuo Cunzhi, who is too strong and too attractive to Chinese journalists.
However, Zhuo Cunzhi didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Twenty-six league rounds have now passed, and Aachen is still in the promotion zone.
Even if it is only a one-point advantage, the fact that it is in the upgrade zone cannot be changed.
Even if Jonas kept persuading and trying to make Zhuo Cunzhi understand that Aachen would not make a difference even if he was promoted to the Bundesliga.
But Zhuo Cunzhi has already explained the reason, and naturally he will not change his mind at this time.
God has shown him that it is possible to go to the Bundesliga and stay in Aachen at the same time.
In this case, he has no superfluous excuses, and if he can't lead Aachen to the Bundesliga, it only means that he is nothing more than that.
But he didn't know that there were some things he couldn't do, and it wasn't just because he didn't work hard enough.
