Chapter 127: The Team's Problem
While Neururell was thinking of a solution, he received a message that it was Adolf's, saying that something was looking for him.
Puzzled, he arrived at Adolf's office.
Adolf still had a serious look on his face, and when he saw Neururell coming, he immediately said, "Please be seated!" ”
Neururell sat down and asked, "Mr. Adolf, I wonder what you are doing with me?" Is it because of the team's recent results? ”
"Well, that's exactly what happened." Adolf clasped his hands in front of him and said: "For a player like Shen Peng, it is appropriate to let him substitute as a punishment, but now the team is at a critical time for results, so it is appropriate to let him start." ”
When Neururell heard this, he was slightly stunned, he had the impression that Adolf was not this kind of person.
But after thinking about it, he understood that Adolf was worried about the team's results, for the Bundesliga team, as long as they did not participate in European competitions and were not relegated, it was all the same; What Adolf is thinking about now is probably to let Shen Peng perform better quickly, and then attract the attention of a team like Bayern Munich, in that case, it can be sold for a good price.
Although Shen Peng rejected Dortmund before, in Germany, almost all players could not refuse Bayern Munich's invitation.
This should be Adolf's idea, but what he doesn't know is that Shen Peng has already rejected Guardiola's invitation, otherwise he wouldn't think so.
Neururell pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay Mr. Adolf, I'll think about it." ”
Because Shen Peng recently told him that it would only take a few games to end this state, so he agreed, although I don't know how many it is, but it seems that it should be soon.
After leaving Adolf's office, he returned to his office.
The next match will be the second round of the German Cup on 25 September.
Unfortunately, they played against Eintracht Frankfurt from the Bundesliga, and it was also an away game.
Because there are still 32 teams, which is equivalent to a sixteenth of the finals, so the average team will rotate players to play, and Bochum is no exception, and the German Cup is a place to practice, so in his opinion, this game is very likely to have gone far.
After making a hasty decision on the squad for the German Cup, he turned his attention back to the team's poor performances in the previous games, and he didn't understand why the team was like this.
In retrospect, the team seemed to have started with a narrow win in the third round of the league and a loss in the fourth round.
Is it because of the overall strength of the players? Or is it a question of his own tactics? Or is it a question of the attitude of the players?
He himself is a manager who almost brought Bochum to relegation, and his own level is limited, so he is a little confused in this situation now.
In the end, he still couldn't find the answer, and soon, the second round of the German Cup was ushered in.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga are two different teams and have nothing to do with each other except that they are both in Frankfurt. Knowledge Frankfurt is much stronger than Frankfurt FSV, and can basically remain in the Bundesliga, while Frankfurt FSV can only mix with the German Second Division.
It is worth mentioning that Shen Peng's compatriot Yang Chen also played in this team.
The Walder Stadium has a capacity of more than 50,000 people, which is not as large as the Ruhr Stadium, but it is not a small area.
Most of the substitutes were sent from both sides in this game, such as Bochum's side, the strikers were Gunduz and Reinholz, and the midfielders and defenders also changed a lot.
For Bochum, the league has been very difficult, and now it is natural to try to rest the main players.
Of course, there is an exception, that is, Shen Peng.
Shen Peng still asked to play in the second half.
Four games have been won this season, plus the previous three, so Misugi's mission has been completed for a total of seven.
If he wins this game again, then he will have completed eight games, and only two more wins in the league will be complete.
Neururell didn't have much hope for the game, but the players were surprisingly good.
For example, substitute centre-back Martritz, who is 35 years old this year and whose contract expires next year. Neururell has been on the bench due to fitness issues and he was put on the pitch on an ad hoc basis for this game, but so far it seems that he is doing well.
Although he was not as active as the young players, he was more experienced, so many of Frankfurt's attacks were defused by him.
Another standout performer was substitute left-back Akkistapase, who did a good job of restricting opponents on the left flank and often providing assists.
In addition to these two, Reinholz and Gonduz have also been doing well, performing well up front and often playing some unexpected combinations, but they have not been able to score due to their own strength.
Instead, in the 39th minute, Eintracht Frankfurt's players broke through from the right side of Bochum and scored first.
Eintracht Frankfurt took a 1-0 lead at home and the fans began to cheer, no less loud than the 60,000 people at the Ruhr Stadium.
At half-time, Neururell left time to the player himself with a few simple words, and he now has something on his mind.
That is, in his opinion, the current performance of these players, except for a few people, seems to be better than those starters!
What's going on?
He's going to take a closer look at it in the second half.
In the second half, Shen Peng came on as a substitute as he wished.
After Shen Peng came on the field, the midfield immediately came to life, and there was a veteran in the backline, so the situation of Bochum slowly stabilized, and the attack gradually began to threaten.
This game is also crucial for Shen Peng, Sanshan Chun's task is still three games away, and if you wait until the league is completed, each more game, then there will be more uncertainties, because everyone in the league is going all out, Bochum's current strength is not strong, if you lose, you will waste a lot of time.
In the next five league rounds, their opponents are Schalke 94, Mainz, Bayer Leverkusen, Hannover 96 and Bayern Munich.
Among them, Bayer Leverkusen, Hannover 96, Bayern Munich are currently ranked third, fourth, and second in the league respectively, all in front of Bochum, with Bochum's current state, they are basically lost, if there are three tasks left, the last game will have to wait until after these five league games; If there are only two missions, there is hope that the first two will be completed, and the gap between one and the other is nearly a month.
So, this game, he has to win.
