165 warm-up match with A meter
The final score against Munich 1860 was set at 1-0, followed by two more games in training against Darmstadt and Baringer, winning 3-1 and 2-1 respectively.
Sunset played in the second half of the Bundesliga match against Darmstadt on August 6, scoring the last two goals, but had no goals or assists.
This result made the coaching staff more satisfied, Freiburg was not paid much attention in the first place, and several warm-up games were focused on Wagner, Niedlechner, Petersen and other forwards, and their trump cards were well hidden behind the scenes by statistics. Sunset is still giving people the image of a good substitute player like last season, which is what they want to see the most.
The warm-up match with Ballinger of the German regional league on August 7 was simply a number of substitutes and young players, and the good news is that Wang Yifan was temporarily transferred to the first team because of his outstanding performance, and he played in that warm-up game and received an assist. It is unlikely that he will stay in the first team in the new season, but it is very likely that he will be transferred to the second team to play in the Baden-Württemberg Premier League.
After these two warm-up matches, Freiburg will host visiting AC Milan on 14 August.
Although AC Milan has declined in recent years, there are still three pounds of nails in the rotten ship, and it is no longer a top giant, but the strength of the middle of Serie A is still there, at least it won the 7th place in Serie A last season.
And, most importantly, people can talk about feelings, which is also very popular in Freiburg and Germany.
The hard-to-find ball market also gave Sunset and Xia Qianqian the opportunity to meet, taking Xia's parents and Xia Mom to see the house and the store site, Xia Mo, who was also eager to see Ami on the spot, stole himself with the ticket as a request, giving the two the opportunity to meet at the ice cream shop.
When Sunset arrived, she waited carefully for her future sister-in-law, and immediately gave her tickets and jerseys. Xia Mo, who was eating ice cream in one hand and Black Forest cake in the other, continued to make requests while concentrating on dealing with the food:
"I also want to have a signed jersey for the A-M player, whoever it is, I don't pick it..."
Xia glanced at her lightly, pulled the afterglow who was a little crying and laughing, and said:
"Ignore her, Sunset is a professional footballer, can she take her jersey and go to your opponent for an autograph? Don't take an inch..."
Then he generously cared about Sunset's situation, including training, life, and the recent situation of friends such as Lucas and Gu Shuo.
This is one of the reasons why Sunset likes Xia Qianqian, who is generous, unpretentious, and will not reject his friends, but will care for them generously.
August 14th.
The Black Forest Stadium entered the rhythm of the season ahead of schedule, and the surrounding streets were filled with Freiburg and some AC Milan fans early on, and the two sides did not have the swords of the rival fans, but hooked up like they were attending a party.
At this time, Sunset's car is gone, and if it is like last season, it may not be able to reach the field at the beginning of the game. Even so, when they approached the entrance of the parking lot, they were recognized by many enthusiastic fans, waving and giving thumbs up.
On the other hand, the Xia family, who also went out to watch the game, also noticed this scene, Xia Donglin has integrated into this atmosphere of carnival in the city, in addition to the jersey, he also holds two small Huade flags in his hands, and after learning that the Mercedes-Benz AMG-GT is being chased by Sunset, he said with a smile:
"This kid is really a bit of a football star..."
However, Shen Fan was as disdainful as ever, and snorted.
The closer they got to the stadium, the more fans there became, and some people recognized the Chinese flag and began to shout 'Yu' or 'Yu-Hui' at them, making them feel more and more that it seemed inaccurate to locate Sunset as playing soy sauce.
The Freiburg team also took this game very seriously, sending out starters including Schweinsteiger, Sunset, Wagner and others.
In addition to still playing 442, this lineup should be the main lineup in Streich's mind.
The forwards are Wagner and Philip, and the midfielders from left to right are Sunset, Abrahi, Schweinsteiger and Franz. The back line is Follenbach, Kempf, Gould, Ian Wiwski, and the goalkeeper is Schworov.
This warm-up game was also broadcast live by China TV Sports Channel because it was still in the league window, and in order to open up the Chinese market, Freiburg promoted the copyright for free, which happened to hit it off. At 10:25 p.m., China TV host Shen Fangjian and Zhou Ning, who had played in Mannheim, Germany, had already begun to warm up for the game:
"Judging from the roster we have just received, our player Sunset has been given a starting role in the most important game of the season, which is great news for our fans. Zhou Ning, you have played in Germany and are also our senior Bundesliga experts, do you think this means that Sunset is likely to become the main force of Freiburg's new season..."
Zhou Ning smiled slightly hesitantly, and then said:
"Being able to play in such an important game definitely means that Sunset has a certain place in the head coach's mind. I have been following Sunset as a player in the Chinese Super League, and his speed and technique are still very prominent among Chinese players, and his biggest problem is fitness and physique. Judging from the data of last season and the previous warm-up games, Coach Streich mainly used him as the main substitute, and I expect to continue to play in the Bundesliga this season. It's already rare, you have to play in the Bundesliga and you have a lot of players in the same position..."
Shen Fangjian, who had been poured some cold water, no longer boasted about the significance of the starter, and turned his head to detail the other players on both sides.
Freiburg's situation after the start of the game was not as difficult as others thought, but it was not that easy, and they played on a par with AC Milan.
Schweinsteiger and Abrahi's midfield interception and ball play did not put much pressure on the defenders, but the attack was a little struggling with a tighter defence than in the Bundesliga, and there was no sharpness and ease in the Bundesliga.
The strength and weakness of the team are often relative, and it will be difficult when the invincible attack of the Bundesliga meets the chain defense, and the same team in the middle and lower reaches of the Turkish Super League will be devastating. Franz, who had good offensive ability in addition to defending in the past, was pressed by AC Milan's offense and only defended ability. Frombach also had no wide side to plug in, and the defence had to be assisted by Abrahi's approach.
The whole Freiburg play is not out of shape, that is, Schweinsteiger, Abrahi, Kempf and Sunset.
As an offensive player, Sunset's reception, running, and passing are not restricted, and his running position is flickering forward and backward, which makes the AC Milan players very unaccustomed to it, and will be torn up by the defense if they don't follow him, and they make trouble at the junction of adjacent players if they don't follow him, and pass two good balls in a row, if it weren't for Wagner and Philip being guarded very closely, maybe Freiburg would have taken the lead early...
