Chapter 047: Worse Than Anyone

In the thirteenth round of the German Second Division, the time is already mid-November.

Players who don't have a good professional attitude are already thinking about the Christmas holidays at this time.

For example, Joao, as a Brazilian native, has inherited the shortcomings of Brazilians who are greedy for pleasure.

But lately, the Aachen players, including Joao, have not had much fun.

On the one hand, because of the environment, this is Germany after all, and Germans have times when they are greedy for pleasure, but they strictly follow the rules.

No one talks about Christmas, and Joao is not too embarrassed to talk about it alone.

On the other hand, there is the issue of atmosphere, as a professional footballer, winning and losing is a common thing.

But even if it's a defeat, a small defeat with more than three goals, that's two different things entirely.

Players who treat football as an end or as a hobby will not forget about such failures.

Finally, after all, Christmas is still a month away, and unlike students who have been looking forward to the winter and summer vacations since the beginning of the school year, adults still have a little more self-control.

Ahead of the thirteenth round against Fürth, Aachen regrouped and would not let the defeat from the previous game repeat.

The only one who had some change in his heart was Aachen's head coach Hag.

In fact, during the period when he was in a precarious position, Fürth contacted him and wanted him to become Fürth's head coach.

When Hach got the news, he was quickly moved.

Fürth finished fifth last season, close to the promotion zone, and has been doing quite well this season, accumulating 19 points, sitting fifth in the Bundesliga behind Eintracht Frankfurt.

I have to say that Fürth's card strength is far above Aachen.

Hach was unstable in his position in Aachen, and a crushing defeat caused the scolding against him to resound, which made Hach very aggrieved.

Now that Fürth's olive branch is in front of him, Hach will naturally be tempted.

But Hach also had writing concerns in mind.

Fürth's strength is strong, but their demands are also high.

In the first four rounds, Fürth accumulated seven points with two wins, one draw and one loss, ranking ninth in the Bundesliga, which is not a bad result.

But Fürth decisively fired head coach Eiken Breccher, because they had only one goal, and that was the Bundesliga!

Finally, the performance of the two or three relegated teams in the Bundesliga is not very good, and Fürth is so far from the promotion zone!

That's how Fürth thinks at the top.

So, while letting the team's assistant coach temporarily take over, they were looking for coaches everywhere in the Bundesliga.

At this time, Aachen's unstable head coach Hach came into their sight.

It has to be said that Hach is a head coach who advocates attacking football, which is more in line with Fürth's appetite.

On the other hand, as a professional footballer, Fürth's senior management will not easily judge a manager's ability by his results.

Through their judgment, Hahe was able to adjust the plan to stabilize Aachen's results immediately after Xie Hui's temporary problems, and his ability was quite superb.

So the olive branch reached out to Hahe.

Hach was still swaying there, but the Aachen players were not at all polite to Fürth's men.

In just 20 minutes, Aachen's midfield had already created five good chances.

The players, holding their breath, pressed Fürth on the home ground in Aachen.

This kind of performance made the fans happy and cheered!

In the last round, it was a small group of people who followed Aachen to Duisburg away.

Most people only witnessed the defeat at home or in a bar.

With such a distance, fans naturally have less empathetic humiliation, and there will be no suspicion of the team.

If there is no doubt, there will naturally be doubt.

In fact, Aachen fans who went to watch the game with their own eyes know that Aachen did not fall behind in the last game.

The score of 1:1 in the first half of the away game can be said to be quite an excellent performance.

But at first glance, it can be seen that Aachen has put most of his energy on attacking, but the efficiency of scoring goals is not very high.

On the other hand, Aachen's defensive ability is not strong in the first place, and when the opponent seizes the opportunity, it is a mess.

The last round of Aachen's fiasco was partly due to bad luck, and partly due to problems with Aachen's strength and tactics.

Now it looks like Aachen has the upper hand, but who can guarantee it before the score is scored......

"Joao! Joao! He grabbed this point! "The narrator Becker is full of excitement. shouted emotionally.

Whenever Aachen performs well, his style of commentary is loved by the fans.

And just now, just when some fans of Aachen were faintly worried, Aachen suddenly launched a wave of attacks.

It's now the 34th minute, and Aachen has attacked many times, but there is always something unsatisfactory in the final shot.

This made Zhuo Cunzhi anxious, but also strengthened his idea of enhancing his ability to break the door.

Long before that, Zhuo Cunzhi discovered a hole in the Fürth defense line.

Aachen have problems both offensively and defensively and are already at the top of the Bundesliga.

It can be seen that other teams are by no means without problems.

The victory or defeat of football is a comparison of which team is stronger, and conversely, it is also a comparison of whose shortcomings are fewer.

Fürth wanted to defend the first half and take advantage of Aachen's weaknesses in the second half, as Duisburg did.

However, they may not have imagined that their own weaknesses were also exposed.

Zhuo Cunzhi did not attack rashly, and only began to act when Aachen's offensive slowly slowed down, and when Fürth's mind was about to move.

It should be noted that without Xie Hui's header, Aachen's attacking ability is very weak.

Zhuo Cunzhi knows this very well, and he knows even more that if Aachen wants to score, what he needs is a sneak attack.

Aachen's teammates are still accustomed to playing oppressive attacks, and it is naturally difficult to score goals by handing over the task of attacking to Xie Hui, who is no longer able to take on the heavy responsibility of attacking.

In Zhuo Cunzhi's view, the most reliable one on the front line now is Joao.

This is a fact, and Zhuo Cunzhi will not change this opinion because he and Xie Hui are of the same race, or as friends with Joao.

When the opponent's formation was pressed forward five meters as a whole, Zhuo Cunzhi suddenly passed a long pass, cutting through Fürth's defense like a scalpel.

Even if he tried his best to chase, he could only despair to see Joao appear in that gap, rushing to the penalty area with the ball at high speed.

Opportunity! It was the best chance of the first half!

Whether it's a player, a fan or a manager, it's easy to see this.

Joao, who knows this best, now has the ball.

Receiving the ball in this position, he is almost always open in front of him.

It's so comfortable!

After admiring Zhuo Cunzhi in his heart, Joao immediately calmed down.

In the near corner there was a goalkeeper, and in the far corner there were two opposition centre-backs desperately trying to get back to block.

Joao feinted to shoot into the near corner, forcing the onrushing goalkeeper to stop and make a defensive stance, only to make an arc at his feet and fly towards the far corner.

However, his shooting skills did have some problems, and this shot from inside the box was kicked out of the woodwork.

Joao looked awkwardly at the arc where the ball was flying, and the next moment he noticed that the opposition's centre-back had arrived just in time.

The ball hit his thigh, and the arc shifted slightly, flying right towards the gate!

Joao watched this scene with tears and laughter, but Aachen's teammates had already surrounded him.

In the background is the cheers of the fans in Aachen.
