At noon on April 10, Freiburg hosted St. Pauli, which ranked fifth in the German Second Division, in the 29th round of the German Second Division.
Freiburg have six games left in the Bundesliga, 15 points ahead of the fourth Bochum of the Bundesliga, who have played one game in advance, and a draw in this game will ensure at least promotion play-off qualification for Freiburg ahead of schedule.
But Freiburg, three points ahead of RB Leipzig in second place and six points ahead of Nuremberg in third, clearly want more, directly promoted to the top two spots, and even, the Bundesliga champion.
But St. Pauli, who did not lose the opportunity to attack the Bundesliga, obviously did not want to be tied down and wanted more.
So the two Bundesliga teams, which have performed well this season, met at the Black Forest Stadium at noon in April, and the thunderstorm in Freiburg made the atmosphere of the game even more solemn.
St. Pauli is a club from Hamburg that has not had a good record, and even though it is a Bundesliga lift like Freiburg, it has not been as successful as Freiburg to qualify for European competitions. St. Pauli's best result in the Bundesliga is 10th in the Bundesliga, and they have been in the Bundesliga since their relegation in the 11-12 season.
But this club with poor results has a group of fanatical fans who regard the club as a religious belief, and the results do not affect the fans' enthusiasm for the club at all. And St. Pauli's fan base is staggering millions across Germany, and even in the Bundesliga, the team's attendance and package numbers are much higher than many Bundesliga teams. And, importantly, he always had the highest away attendance in the Bundesliga, which meant there was no shortage of St. Pauli fans anywhere.
At first, Sunset only knew that it was a maverick club, located in the red-light district, from the area where the Beatles first started, and the team that his predecessor Yang Chen had stayed in. But a few days before the game, many fans in white and brown jerseys began to wander around the quiet streets of Freiburg, only to realize that this was a different team.
Then, under the introduction of German players Kempf and Follenbach, I knew that this is really a maverick team. The rainbow element on the away jersey alone is enough to stun Sunset, and when she was facing relegation to Deding in '03 due to financial difficulties, many people across Germany raised money for St. Pauli, including many of the girls on Cable Street, who generously donated money.
But admiration and admiration can't replace the desire to win the game, and that's true for Sunset, and it's true for his manager.
Streich did not have the slightest idea of winning in the face of strong opponents, and the pre-match arrangements and personnel arrangements were all aimed at victory.
In addition to Sunset, Streich sent all the main players who could be on the field, and even Petersen, who was good at scoring goals off the bench, also started.
This makes Sunset completely understand who his coach is. It seems that Sven is more like a teacher, usually polite and polite, but against Leipzig at home, Streich arranged for Peterson and Sunset to start. This is the same against St. Pauli, who is close to the rankings, and if it is clear that the opponent is tough, he will be harder, and if the opponent is a nail, he will turn into a hammer.
I have to say that it is not unreasonable for such a coach to bring out a wave of young players, not only at the tactical and technical level, but also with the attitude and will in the face of strong opponents.
At least Sunset, who was sitting on the bench, was already infected and his blood was boiling, and he just waited for the coach to give an order so that he could rush to the court to fight.
In the stands, the Freiburg fans, who have always been fanatical and loyal, did not intend to back down in the face of the crazy fans of St. Pauli, and filled the Black Forest stadium with songs, flags and madness early on, suppressing the voices of St. Pauli fans everywhere.
However, St. Pauli fans waving skull flags and even wearing skull masks are not willing to make a noise. While the players were still waiting in the aisle to play, Sunset, who had just sat on the bench, was startled by the firework that was lit by the St. Pauli fans, and then the fireworks were thrown onto the field, and the flames and smoke covered half of the field.
The accident caused the game to drag on for a long time, and before the game even started, the atmosphere was as solemn as the clouds over the stadium.
The game was just as hot, as soon as the kick-off Niederlechner snatched the football from the feet of St. Pauli midfielder Arus, and then was tackled by St. Pauli defender Butchtmann, and then walked back to the back foot without looking back amid the abuse of the whole field, even if the referee chased and showed the yellow card.
Then, in the third minute, Stenzel headed in a corner kick and Kempf headed home and Freiburg responded.
Then St. Pauli immediately launched wave after wave of counterattacks, and the Freiburg players were overturned as soon as they got the ball, and they were all physical collisions, and the referee would blow, but because they were all backcourt balls, they would not give cards.
It was not until the 24th minute that Sternzel broke through to the front on the right and was pushed down by St. Pauli midfielder Carla, who received a second yellow card. And that free-kick was scored by Philippe, who was two goals down just after halfway through the first half.
"Whew...... Finally, it was almost over, so that the victory was assured earlier, Yu would not have to play in this kind of rough game, otherwise his small body would ......"
Fasler, the team's number one fan, let out a long breath of joy for Sunset.
Freiburg fans also thought that the overall situation was decided, and not only sang the team anthem, but also made up some songs to mock their opponents in the West Stand.
The phrase "happy and sad" is not unreasonable, and just when the Freiburg players also thought that they were lucky today and relaxed a little, the St. Pauli team began to press hard. St. Pauli's counter-attack gave Sunset a toothache on the sidelines, not only did they press in the penalty area in the midfield, but the two wing-backs also played as wingers, and one of the two central defenders pressed near the halfway line would have one of them push forward with the ball from time to time, causing a panic in Freiburg's defensive formation.
Realizing that Freiburg had relaxed a little too early, it was already difficult to tighten up again, and the accident and panic caused more mistakes in the players.
On 28 minutes, Nerig, who was pressed in the 30-metre area, suddenly went around and grabbed Günther's pass to Hufnagar, and then shot directly from distance.
The ball arced upwards and had some external rotation, hitting the 10-minute angle between the crossbar and the column in the far corner.
But the nightmare was not over, in the 33rd minute, St. Pauli right-back Hornchu broke through the wing, crossed the halfway line and took the ball at 45 degrees, sending the ball to the edge of the penalty area. Arus half-turned and kicked a ball close to the ball, and the ball was not touched by many legs in the penalty area, and rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal.
The two balls were fairy balls, and the Freiburg goalkeeper Sworov was a little crying without tears...
How could the Freiburg fans, who were ridiculed by St. Pauli fans for the counterattack, accept the statement of luck, and one fan rushed to the guardrail and shouted:
"Look what you've done!? … What the hell are you playing......"
Then from the West Stand, a low and rapid shout grew louder and louder......
"Yu ... I!... Yu ..."
