Chapter 044: High High Low Low
In the eleventh round, Aachen played at home against Bielefeld, who are a strong team in the Bundesliga.
At the Tivoli Stadium, home of Aachen, the players showed a high level of competition.
Zhuo Cunzhi played 70 minutes of the game and was involved in three goals, including one assist.
In the end, Aachen defeated Bielefeld 3-2, and Zhuo Cunzhi was voted the best of the match for the second time!
Another talented academy player from Aachen, Thiri. Bayak scored twice and failed to snatch the champagne from Zhuo Cunzhi.
For such a result, the fans of Aachen are going crazy!
Five games, four wins and one draw, is this what Aachen can achieve?
From only one win in the first six rounds of the league to only one draw in the last five rounds, the opponent is still Eintracht Frankfurt, who are in good form!
What happened to Aachen?
"Aachen Sports News" believes that Aachen's five rounds of unbeaten, Zhuo's play is crucial, in the four rounds he played, Aachen scored a total of eight goals, Zhuo scored a goal and passed three assists, and was involved in seven goals!
"Aachen Press" also believes that Aachen's outstanding performance is inseparable from the excellent youth training and scouting system. Zhuo and Joao, who have excelled in recent games, were both signed in the summer, while Aachen's academy has contributed two talents to the first team, Bernd and Tiri, and as a midfielder, they have scored as many goals as the strikers.
"Aachen Football Newspaper" asked: From only four points in six games to four wins in five rounds unbeaten, what is the level of Aachen coach Hach? Can he lead Aachen to promotion to the Bundesliga?
Many fans believe that Hach's level is just like that, and they have not forgotten the despair that Aachen brought them in the previous rounds.
In fact, last season Aachen was not unbeaten in five games, from the second round to the sixth round of five games, Aachen won three wins and two draws and scored eleven points!
But one thing to understand is that it was the beginning of the season at that time, and most of the teams had not yet adjusted.
Aachen's good results also have a certain relationship with the weakness of the opponent, and it has little to do with the strength.
You must know that after that, Aachen was winless in six games, including only one draw!
At that time, Aachen was even more miserable than Aachen at the beginning of this season, and Aachen won a game this season.
After a bad start, it was the darkest period of last season, and Aachen fans even thought that the team would go a dozen games without a win!
This fear completely erupted when Aachen had three more people and it was difficult to take Mannheim.
At that time, it was the most dangerous time for Hach's position, and it was also the time when Aachen was under the most pressure.
If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence.
Aachen chose to break out, beating promoted Maschweinfurt, Saarbrücken and even Bielefeld!
The only draw in the round was away to Eintracht Frankfurt, a relegated Bundesliga team, not to mention that the opponent had just slaughtered Union Berlin and was in good spirits!
Now think back to the strength of the first six rounds, but there was one win and one draw, two of which were defeats to Mainz and Hannover 96, which are now in the top two of the table!
Thinking about it this way, the previous results are not so bad.
Under such circumstances, Hach was finally able to shop on the avenues of Aachen without worrying about a drunken fan catching him.
Thanks to the excellent results, the fans in Aachen are also full of enthusiasm.
All the newspapers that praised Aachen have recently been out of stock to varying degrees.
At the same time, Zhuo Cunzhi's No. 19 jersey was bought by fans one by one, making merchants and clubs smile.
The only bad news may be that Zhuo Cunzhi suffered a little foot injury in this round of the game.
Zhuo Cunzhi didn't understand the doctor's description of his injury, but he probably knew that he was not a major injury, and he only needed to rest for seven or eight days.
However, in the next round against Duisburg, he still did not play for the sake of safety.
Hahe, who felt that the team's state had been kicked, also waved his hand and directly gave the team a vacation.
In order to show that he was with the team, Zhuo Cunzhi still followed the bus to Duisburg.
"Now Duisburg is almost in the relegation zone, let me tell you, we will win!" Joao said confidently.
"!" Zhuo Cunzhi rolled his eyes directly.
"We've won four out of five battles! A tiny Duisburg? Joao said with a look of disdain.
"We've won the games we've won by one goal." Zhuo Cunzhi reminded him, and then looked at him with meaningful eyes, "And you haven't scored in these games." ”
Joao's face froze suddenly.
"Diem, is that curse you said last time really true?" Joao leaned over and asked.
"Really, really, not really!" Zhuo Cunzhi repeatedly emphasized to him.
I have stressed to him again and again, and those words still affect Joao's state.
If Joao had scored in that game, maybe he wouldn't have been affected.
However, Joao was also in his first season in the Bundesliga after all, and his performance was greatly influenced by his mentality.
The words of that day were just a small thorn to him at first, but now they are like a fish in his throat, and he feels ♂ uncomfortable!
"But after you said that day, I haven't scored a goal until now." Joao said aggrievedly.
"Then I'm going to say now, you're going to score a goal this time!" Zhuo Cunzhi said angrily.
"Why?" Joao looked excited and confused.
"There is a phenomenon in football called bottoming out, you haven't scored for so long, this one will definitely score!" Zhuo Cunzhi said affirmatively.
Of course, this is mainly nonsense, but as long as the person who hears it believes it, it is enough.
Sure enough, Joao nodded, his face full of confidence.
He may not be unaware that Zhuo Cunzhi is talking nonsense, but he also needs a reason, a reason not to be affected by his mentality.
After arriving, Zhuo Cunzhi sat in the fan stands, sitting with a tiny number of Aachen fans.
"Didi! Didi! The fans gathered around Zhuo Cunzhi, but it did not affect Zhuo Cunzhi's sight and mood.
I have to say that European fans chasing stars are still more rational.
Generally, Zhuo Cunzhi is shopping on the road, and when fans see him, most of them will nod and smile, but it will not affect his life.
With the cheers of the Aachen fans, Aachen and Duisburg played 1:1 in the first half!
Joao, who broke a five-game goal drought, put in an impressive performance, scoring a goal in the second minute of first-half stoppage time to equalise for Aachen.
Joao celebrated wildly after the goal and danced the samba of his home country.
Looking at his "wonderful" dance, the fans in Aachen still applauded.
I have to say that the fans are really tolerant sometimes.
Such a situation also made Zhuo Cunzhi feel relieved and watch his teammates perform with peace of mind.
What Zhuo Cunzhi didn't expect was that Aachen in the second half ushered in a massacre, or rather, was slaughtered!
