At half past two in the afternoon of October 26, in the tenth round of the Bundesliga, Bochum challenged Hannover 96 away.

Hannover 96 finished seventh in the league at the end of the ninth round, and after four wins and two losses in the opening season, they seem to be struggling to find themselves in some trouble, having gone three games without a win, including one draw and two defeats, which also caused them to drop all the way to seventh.

Their performance in the game was still sluggish, and finally won a big game by Bochum 4-1, in which Shen Peng maintained his form with a goal and an assist, and his total goals also reached nine, continuing to lead the scorer list.

In this game, his other teammates also performed well, of course, Shen Peng also tried to cooperate with Gorezka to complete his mission, but after two failed attempts, he did not try.

At the end of the round, Bochum was still in third place, ahead of Bayern and Borussia Dortmund.

However, the next game will be a direct dialogue between Bochum and Bayern Munich, which may affect the course of the league for the rest of the game.

Bayern topped the Bundesliga with eight wins and two draws in their first ten league games, and have won three of the Champions League group games, scoring a total of 11 goals and averaging 3.7 per game.

They are still strong in the new season under the leadership of new manager Pep Guardiola, and they do not seem to be satisfied with the results of last season's treble.

So it's a tough battle for Bochum.

For this match, Neururell has also started to prepare for it a long time ago.

Because of the arrival of Pep Guardiola now, Bayern Munich pays more attention to passing and control, plus all the players in their team are top players, so once Bochum is scored first in the game against Bayern Munich, then with the strength of Bochum players, the whole game will almost be led away by the opponent.

So in this game, Neulurell did not hesitate to change to a defensive counter-attacking style that he hadn't used for a long time.

There are two basic elements that must be successful against a pass-and-control style of play.

One is the strong defense of the midfield, this is a must, Mourinho in Real Madrid against Barcelona, Pepe is mentioned in the midfield back, the high-intensity interception of the midfield is the most important to the pass-and-control style of play, the midfield is not strong enough, and the pass-and-control team is basically a fish on the board.

The second is that the striker should be fast, in the past few years, the Real Madrid midfield led by Mourinho has a strong defense, and the strikers Ronaldo and Bale are extremely fast. So during that period, Real Madrid played Barcelona one by one, not only Real Madrid, but also Bayern, midfielder Schweinsteiger, strikers such as Robben, Ribery and other speed types, and only won Barcelona a 7-0 in the two legs of the Champions League last season.

So the defensive counterattack style prepared by Neururell still puts Shen Peng alone in front, and now Shen Peng's personal scoring ability is very strong and extremely fast, if the opponent's backfield defenders are not enough, he still has a great chance of scoring.

As for the midfield, Bochum does not have a strong enough midfielder now, but the quality of the players is not good, the quantity is to make up, the two new midfielders he has just introduced this season are not bad, and when the midfielder has another person, it can barely meet the requirements.

Once the tactics are worked out, all that's left is to choose the most suitable players to play.

When dealing with the passing and control style of play, because you have to keep following the opponent, the players will be more tired, which requires more physical strength and will of the players, so Neulurell still intends to use some substitute players in this game.

On November 2, at half past three in the afternoon, Bochum hosted the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich.

They last met in the German Cup final last season, and this is the first time they have played as league rivals.

And the outcome of this game is also related to the standings of the two teams, because the difference between them is only two points, and whoever wins will overtake each other in the standings.

Pep Guardiola did not take this match against Bochum lightly, although Bochum is a promoted team and most of the team's players are average, but they currently occupy the third place in the league.

"In this game, we must not be careless, you played a game with them in the German Cup final last season, I believe Shen Peng's goal impressed you, if you underestimate the enemy, you are likely to lose this game."

Before the game, in the dressing room, Pep Guardiola was mobilizing with his players.

For Bayern Munich, it is not difficult to win the Bundesliga title, so Guardiola's goal is to focus on the Champions League from the beginning, if he can lead the team to win the Champions League, then Bayern will become the first team to defend the Champions League since the Champions League restructuring, and his own credit book will also add a strong stroke.

Even so, he doesn't take any of his league opponents lightly, and if he misses out on the league title, he's a failure.

He also made full preparations for this match, including what Bochum might take to play and how to contain Shen Peng's attack.

"Don't worry, Mr. Coach, I was careless in the German Cup last time so I let him score, and I won't give him any chance this time!"

It was Boateng who spoke, and the goal in the German Cup final was because Shen Peng shook him and he had a very exciting goal, so he had to prove himself in this game.

"Well, the head coach of Bochum will definitely not choose to attack us in this game, so they are likely to adopt defensive counterattack tactics, and Shen Peng's speed and physical advantages are quite suitable for this tactic, so you have to keep an eye on him, don't let him have enough space to accelerate, once his speed rises, combined with the passing ability he showed in the last game, our back line will be very dangerous." Pep Guardiola said that letting Bayern Munich, the main central defender, dedicate himself to defending one person, which is rare in the league.

"As long as we win this game, the league opponent will only be Dortmund."

Guardiola continued, Bayern and Dortmund match on November 24, the thirteenth round of the Bundesliga, as long as it defeats Dortmund again, with Bayern's strength, the league championship is already stable.

Bayern's players are gearing up, the last time Shen Peng's goal, they used as a background board, this time they decided not to let Shen Peng score.

Similarly, in the dressing room at Bochum, Neururell was mobilising with the players.

'It's a tough game, but we're in the top three in the league at the moment, so whether it's Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund, we're going to have to fight them! Even if you lose, you have to lose standing up! ”

Neururell looked at the players' ignition and nodded in satisfaction.
