Freiburg, which overcame a strong enemy, was unexpectedly happy and happy. Despite the fact that the team has achieved good results in the past third of the season, there has always been a sense of disbelief among the fans. The outside world also labeled them as unable to win against a strong team early on, and the loss to Dortmund and the two consecutive defeats in the first two rounds made the fans of this team subconsciously agree with this statement.

And the home defeat of the unbeaten upstart RB Leipzig at home has greatly improved the self-confidence of fans and players.

Freiburg's opponent in the 13th round is Bayer Leverkusen, although Bayer Leverkusen, who are fighting on both sides of the Bundesliga and the Champions League, are ranked 10th in the Bundesliga this season with only 5 wins and 1 draw and 16 points, but this is definitely not a team to be taken lightly.

Last season, Bayer Leverkusen made a strong effort at the end of the league, with 8 wins and 1 loss in the last nine rounds, and chased from 8th to 3rd place, and the story of reaching the Champions League reminded every opponent to underestimate his fate.

However, the good news is that five days after this game, on December 8, Bayer Leverkusen will play their final Champions League group game, and the main central defender Toprak and attacking player Velarabi will both miss this game.

On Freiburg's side, Schweinsteiger and Abrahi both missed the game because they fought too hard against Leipzig, and Sunset only had the physical fitness to sit on the bench with Peterson at half time.

In the 12th round, Bayern Munich defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at home to regain the top spot in the standings, with 27 points on the same journey as RB Leipzig and Freiburg. However, in the 13th round of the first kick-off, Bayern Munich defeated Mainz 3:1 away the day before and stretched the score by three points, which will wait for Freiburg and Leipzig who can't bite and fall first.

On December 3, at 5:30 p.m., at the Bayer Arena in Leverkusen, North Rhine-Westphalia, the match began with the cheers of more than 30,000 fans.

Streich's starting formation was 442, with strikers Wagner and Habler, midfielders Grifo, Franz, Hofler, and Philip, defenders Günther, Seyunju, Gould, and Stenzel, and goalkeeper Schworov.

Compared with Bayer Leverkusen's absent Bellaby and Toprak, Freiburg has changed more personnel due to injuries and fitness, and judging from the opening situation, Wagner and Stenzel, who played the whole game, were not excited enough. However, Grifo still couldn't fit into the rhythm of the whole team, resulting in Freiburg's attack and defense being very fluid.

Leverkusen, under the leadership of head coach Schmidt, implemented a crazy high-pressing and pressing style of play, and was encountering a situation where Freiburg's personnel and coordination were not smooth, and they rushed to snatch Freiburg from the beginning.

However, at the beginning of the game, Freiburg goalkeeper Schworov showed good form, making high and low blocks to save many must-score goals.

"Everybody's fitness has a total, and there's a limit for a period of time. The more you dribble and sprint, the less power you can shoot..."

Looking at the situation of Bayer Leverkusen on the field, Sunset remembered the tactical analysis lesson Lucas gave him before the game, and felt that according to the performance of Bayer Leverkusen's players, this made sense. The ability to guarantee a clean sheet is not only related to the excellent performance of goalkeeper Schworov, but also related to the fact that Leverkusen's shot is a little soft after many runs and sprints.

After the mental profiling, analysis of the team's state and the capture of these ideas proved to be effective, Lucas's self-confidence became stronger and stronger, and he also wanted to be more active in his own way to intervene in the game, so he started a pre-match tactical analysis meeting from the perspective of Sunset.

It is said that it is an analysis meeting, mainly because Lucas analyzes and introduces the teams to be played, the main players, and the situation of Freiburg's own team from the perspective of Sunset. Moreover, the psychological coach Baker sorted out the information that was more important to him through psychological knowledge, and deepened Sunset's memory with impressive language and graphics, so as to ensure that he could be impressed and react quickly under the high-paced and high-intensity conditions of the game.

The strengths and weaknesses of the teams and players on both sides, as well as the areas that Sunset can use and the ways to avoid them, are all analyzed and discussed, which not only increases Sunset's memory, but also helps him with his personal tactical literacy. Let him develop a habit of unconsciously observing and analyzing the opponent's situation and success on the bench, and immediately think of the places he needs to pay attention to and avoid.

After nearly 20 minutes of stormy pressing and onslaught, Bayer Leverkusen finally slowed down the tempo due to physical limitations. It was only then that the Freiburg players breathed a sigh of relief, including the players on the bench.

Peterson, who was sitting next to Sunset, took a sip of water before he was in the mood to talk about something else.

"Yu, how were you doing at Griffo's party?..."

Peterson asks about Grifo's birthday party for his girlfriend Rena last week, and Griffo invites the whole team to it, specifically inviting Sunset.

Sunset wonders what Grifo, who was a little arrogant at first, wants to do, but only to learn that Reyna is trying to ease the relationship.

This doesn't matter to Sunset, and with Sunset's current status in Freiburg, it doesn't matter if her relationship with Griffo is good or bad, but it does have a big impact on Freiburg.

If tensions continue to be on between the two, Grifo will certainly not be used from the club's and coach's point of view. However, due to Sunset's physical limitations, Freiburg needs a high-level player who can replace him, so they all hope that Griffo can ease the relationship with Sunset, at least Sunset will not reject Grifo, so that he will be more secure in terms of striving for good results in Freiburg.

When it comes to getting good grades, Sunset and the club share the same opinions and interests, so Sunset plays a harmonious and united show with everyone.

"Uh, it's good, he chose a good place, the environment on Lake Titi is beautiful..."

Seeing that he didn't get involved in his relationship with Grifo, Peterson began to knock on the side:

"Of course, it's a well-known attraction. Yu, I don't know if you've thought about it, anyway, I didn't think that we would be in the Champions League qualification zone this season. Maybe it's going to be a normal thing for you, but for us, maybe just once..."

Peterson is not a person who can beat around the bush, and after a long time, he simply said:

"Even for the sake of the team, for the sake of our teammates, let's work together as a team to seize this opportunity, okay? I'm not saying it's your problem, I'm just saying that even if he recognizes his mistake, he also apologizes indirectly, and let the past pass, okay?..."

Sunset nodded, smiling:

'No problem, you've all been over-concerned, I told Captain Schuster when I came to the team that I never wanted to be a problem for the team. Even if we didn't talk to each other, I would pass the ball to him whenever I was on the field, whenever necessary. ”

After a pause, Sunset added:

"In my football philosophy, no one is better than the whole team, everyone, including myself."
