Chapter 0186: An Undisputed Fiasco
After the victory over Kaiserslautern, they finished second in the standings with 23 points from 12 rounds, which was enough for a new round of media praise for Aachen.
"Bundesliga David Beckham! Three free kicks in a row! ”
"French Ryan Giggs? The Aachen youngster broke through sharply and scored two goals in a row! ”
"A superstar at the back? He can form the strongest German Cup with Ballack and Deisler! ”
All kinds of reports that made others excited and embarrassed for the parties appeared in the column headlines of major media and newspapers one by one.
Zhuo Cunzhi, Franck Ribery, Bernd, Arne, Joao ......
Every player who has performed well in Aachen has been praised and even praised by the media one by one.
However, it is not the core of Aachen that has received the most relevant media coverage, but Bernd and Arne.
As Germany's new generation of stars, all the media are looking forward to their selection for the national team.
With Ballack and Deisler, the German midfield is good enough, and it is the forward line and the back line that need to be strengthened.
And the performances of Bernd and Arne are undoubtedly quite eye-catching and worth looking forward to.
It's just that Aachen hasn't had time to reminisce about the joy of victory, so he needs to face the next opponent, Schalke 04, which is also at the top of the Bundesliga!
Schalke 04 finished fifth in the table last season and managed to win a place in the Europa League.
Now that the league has been played for 12 rounds, Schalke 04 has accumulated 19 places in ninth place.
It seems that Schalke 04's performance is not very good, but in fact, the 4-7 places in the Bundesliga have accumulated 20 points, and the 8-10 places are 19 points.
In other words, with just two more points, Schalke 04 can immediately become fourth in the league!
To be able to have such stable and strong results, Schalke 04 naturally has a lot of stars.
For example, Asamoah, the first African striker to be accepted by the German national team, can be favored by the current German coach Worrall, and Asamoah naturally has his own uniqueness.
Speaking of which, when Zhuo Cunzhi drew the player card last time, it also had Asamoah's name in it.
The African-born Asamoah is very physical, and he is very defensive, almost being known as a defensive striker, able to play in a number of positions in midfield and sometimes as a cameo at centre-back.
And his strength is undoubtedly a star player!
In addition, there is Ebe, who won the Bundesliga Golden Boot in the 00-01 season. Sander, the defender Poulsen who played for Juventus and Liverpool in the future, and the star goalkeeper Rost, who was born at the wrong time.
Of course, the most noteworthy is Andreas, a Grand Slam player who has won the league title, the Europa League, the Champions League, the European Cup, and the World Cup. Muller.
He is not as famous as Muller in front of Germany, and probably not as famous as Muller in Germany, but as a player who has won almost everything, Muller is not only good at strength, but also quite lucky.
At the very least, Barak must be absolutely mad with envy of this senior.
However, now he is close to retirement, although his strength and condition are not bad, but he has no ambition, he is just playing health football, and by the way, he brings newcomers.
Even so, Schalke is by no means an easy opponent for Aachen, especially since Aachen has only just survived the devil's schedule due to the changes in the group stage of the German Cup and Champions League, and now the players are not in good spirits.
Aachen doesn't want to run into Schalke at this time, and why does Schalke want to run into Aachen at this time!
Also a weak team that was furious at the beginning of the season, Rostock has now only accumulated 14 points!
In the early part of the season, Rostock scored 12 points in 5 rounds!
In other words, after the next seven games, Rostock only got two points in total!
In fact, such a performance was expected.
Rostock did so well at the start of the season because of their form and luck, not because of their strength.
In everyone's eyes, Aachen should be the same, after all, Aachen is not a strong team.
In contrast, Rostock are now on the verge of falling into the relegation zone, and they were still in second place in the fifth round!
However, Aachen has now accumulated 23 points in 12 rounds, ranking second in the standings, second only to Bayern!
Such a performance was enough to shock the eyeballs of the place, and also made the Chinese media crazy to tout Aachen's results.
Everyone wanted to see how long the madness in Aachen could last.
And before Aachen showed signs of decline, no one wanted to bump into them easily.
What's more, in the 13th round of the game, Aachen is playing at home, and the teams that play at home tend to play better.
The cautious Schalke 04 cautiously arrived at the Tivoli Arena and prepared for a tough match against Aachen.
0:3, the final score of this game.
In international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.
Aachen suffered a complete defeat on their home turf!
What is even more disappointing for the fans is that Aachen was suppressed almost all of the time, and all the players looked weak.
Hach looked at the glaring score on the scoreboard, and he was also a little helpless.
The mad dog tactics that consume physical strength test not only the physical strength of the players, but also the mental state of the players.
After all, try your best to play one game, anyone can do it, try your best to play three games, many people are not happy, try to play five games, the players will complain, try to play ten games, not only physical, but also mental!
Especially thinking that in the next half season, Aachen still needs to play such a tiring tactic, and many players are tired of three points without playing.
What's even more frightening is that because Aachen's results are so good that the players themselves feel very satisfied, people are not willing to waste so much effort.
Seeing his teammates helpless with a little indifferent expression, Zhuo Cunzhi was really a little angry.
Schalke is strong, at least better than them, but Aachen is not without a chance to win!
Aachen has beaten Bayer Leverkusen, beaten Stuttgart and drawn with Borussia Dortmund, and Schalke is no better than these teams.
If the players in Aachen had been able to show the spirit of the time, even if they didn't win this game, they wouldn't have lost so badly!
As a player whose only goal is victory, Zhuo Cunzhi hates all actions that do not aim for victory.
So, when Joao scolded his defender because he was angry, he immediately stopped it.
Because this kind of behavior will not bring victory to Aachen.
At that time, Zhuo Cunzhi stopped Joao, but he didn't feel angry or disgusted, after all, in that situation at that time, it was normal for him to be angry.
is also because of this, for the performance of his teammates, Zhuo Cunzhi was angry for a while, and when he calmed down, he was angry.
He knows how tired his teammates are now, better than anyone else.
Because he was more tired than almost everyone else!
He is not yet 20 years old, but he has not missed a single game in the first 12 rounds of the league in Aachen!
Sometimes, Zhuo Cunzhi really wants to take more rest, because he is really tired.
What Zhuo Cunzhi didn't expect was that in the next round, he would really be able to rest.
