138 An uneventful victory

At 5:30 p.m. on April 22, German time, Freiburg will host Duisburg, the opponent of the 31st round of the German Second Division, at home. Showers couldn't stop the fans, who began to gather around the pitch just after noon, and when the numbers were a little larger, they began to sing and dance.

It is always said that there are always some teams in Germany or Europe that have bad results or even relegation will not affect the enthusiasm of the fans, but that is just not to give up, not to care about the results.

When the results came, it turned out that Freiburg would be ecstatic when they had a little bit of success.

Not only did the last two games secure direct promotion, but RB Leipzig also extended their points to six points with Freiburg after an unexpected home shock defeat to 12th-placed Sandhausen.

This means that with just two wins in the remaining four games, Freiburg can win the Bundesliga title against the nouveau riche team that the fans hate.

And this time Freiburg's opponent is 30 rounds of 5 wins, 10 draws ranked first Duisburg, the next game is the third from the bottom Paderborn, fans believe that these two games will be Freiburg to lock the Bundesliga championship in advance, many fans who can not travel away naturally take this home game as a good opportunity to celebrate.

But the team did not take Duisburg lightly. Duisburg are already on their backs in the fight for relegation, winning three of their last five games, more than they have won in the first 25 rounds, including third-placed Nuremberg.

Streich didn't want to capsize in the gutter, so he sent all the main players directly, including Afterglow, who missed two training sessions due to injury, and the striker was Petersen's partner Philip, once again showing his determination not to leave behind.

This courage was appreciated by the fans as soon as the starting list was announced, and the cheers in the stands were three points louder.

Because of his tacit understanding with Sunset, Follenbach was once again given the opportunity to start, and he and Stenzel's left and right flanks were eye-catching from the start.

Stenzel was particularly excited when he came on the pitch to score the winner, as if the goal had suddenly sparked his hidden attacking talent, and there was a beautiful breakthrough both on the training ground and in this game.

As a good friend of Sten Zel, Follenbach didn't let him specialize in the front, not to mention that Follenbach had a more convenient condition, with Sunset around him to pull and attract firepower, as well as comfortable passing.

In the 22nd minute, Follenbach suddenly dribbled forward, faced Duisburg right-back Bor, knocked the ball back to Sunset, and continued to sprint.

Sunset tucked the ball back between the Duisburg defenders in time, timing it just right, even if it was a little too strong, but it didn't prevent Follenbach from catching up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and then pushed it back to Petersen in the middle of the penalty line.

Petersen stopped the ball and was about to shoot, but was directly tackled by Duisburg centre-back Hairi.

The Duisburg defender, who took the initiative to chat with Sunset before the game, actually played in Jiangong for 12 years, which makes people have to sigh that the world of football is sometimes quite small.

However, this did not prevent Sunset and his teammates from asking the referee to give him a harsher punishment, and it was clear that his foul ruined a good scoring opportunity for Freiburg.

The referee, probably not wanting to upset the balance of the pitch too early, only gave Hairi a yellow card, and then laughed and told Freiburg to prepare a free kick as soon as possible.

As an on-court team, Franz wisely asked his players to focus on the game and shove the football into Sunset's hands.

After a few excellent free-kicks, Sunset became the team's penalty taker, taking the free-kicks up front. After taking over the soccer ball, Sunset calms herself down quickly by looking for the time of the soccer ball, then sets up the soccer ball and adjusts her steps to prepare.

The ball was a little outside the line of the big penalty area, 17 or 8 meters away from the goal, because the angle was too positive and the distance was close, and the position was not good. Stenzel chatted with Sunset and walked back to the right side of the box, which made the Duisburg players suspect that they might have to play a tactical matchup, and split one from the five-man wall to mark Stenzel on the right side.

After Sunset kicked it, the Duisburg players realized that it was a very fast free kick, and there was no tactical coordination, and the ball began to fall after a slight round of the wall, and finally bounced off the ground and into the goal.

Compared to Sunset's previous impressive elevator goals, this goal was a bit unremarkable, but opening the scoring would be enough for the home fans to be happy, after all, Duisburg's counter-attack couldn't hold on.

Then, in the 27th minute, Sunset ran the ball in the middle of the counter-attack and sent the ball to the feet of Philip in the front line, who turned and shot directly at the goal, and the ball went into the net against the right post.

It was a typical quick counter-attack, with Sunset getting Kempf out at centre-back, turning without stopping, then running through and then Philip, who was still more than 20 metres away from goal, stopped the ball and turned and shot in one go. There were only three people in the whole cooperation, and it only took about ten seconds, which was amazingly efficient.

Streich nodded from the sidelines, believing that although Duisburg seemed to have run out of strength in the first few games and not enough pressure on the Freiburg players, especially Sunset, those two goals will mean more to Freiburg next season. After all, next season Freiburg will face the Bundesliga, and there will be no more strength advantage in the Bundesliga, on the contrary, most of the time Freiburg will be the weak side, set-pieces and quick counterattacks will be Freiburg's main means of scoring, and Sunset has proved his ability in these two aspects very well.

"Yankovsky, tomorrow we have to talk about the tactical design of the counterattack..."

Timo Jankovski knows Sunset better than Streich about Sunset's counter-attack, and confidently says:

"Okay, Coach, in fact I have long had a lot of ideas about quick counterattacks, and Yu's characteristics should be used more..."

With his eyes already on next season, Streich saw that Duisburg had lost his threat, but his movements had become a little rough due to disappointment and physical inadequacy, so he replaced Sunset in midfield.

There were no surprises in the development of the game, except for the foul that Duisburg could not threaten Freiburg, and in the 78th minute there was a penalty given to Freiburg after Niedlechner was brought down by Hairi in the box, and Hairi also went off for the foul after accumulating two yellow cards.

After Peterson took the penalty, the actual game was over, with one man less and three goals behind, Duisburg, who had fought a vicious game, ran out of energy, lost his fighting spirit, and the last ten minutes were completely routine. The referee also ended the game as soon as the 90th minute was up, without giving a minute of stoppage time, which was not only protested by Duisburg, but left the stadium in a hurry, leaving the stadium to the Freiburg fans to celebrate.
