Chapter 99: The End

On May 19, at half past twelve o'clock at noon, the final round of the German second division began.

Bochum hosts Union Berlin and his two rivals, Kaiserslautern host Hamburg St. Pauli and FSV Eintracht Frankfurt take on Braunschweig away.

The Ruhr Stadium was almost full, and the fans were showing their support for the team.

Fifteen minutes into the game, the fans erupted in cheers, and Neururell stood up from the dugout in excitement.

It wasn't Bochum that scored, it was Kaiserslautern that the Hamburg St. Pauli team scored.

When the Bochum players heard this cheer, they also understood it, and the attack became more ferocious.

In the twenty-seventh minute, Bochum finally scored, this time by Freier and assisted by Scheidhauer.

The fans broke out again in addition to cheering, and won on both fronts, as long as they keep it like this, then they can finish third, and after winning the promotion play-offs, they can go to the Bundesliga!

In the thirty-third minute, the fans were boiling again.

Because, Hamburg St. Pauli scored again, they are currently 2-0 ahead, as long as the back is steady and does not make big mistakes, a victory should be guaranteed, plus the current situation in Bochum is very good, the Ruhr Stadium fans even began to sing the team song.

They didn't stop until halftime.

Bochum scored just one goal in the first half, but the fans knew the game, and their opponents Union Berlin had little to fight back, while Kaiserslautern were also 2-0 down at home, and things were in a good situation for Bochum.

Even when the players are in the dressing room, they can still hear the fans singing outside.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and it didn't take long for Bochum to score again.

However, in the 71st minute, the fans' singing suddenly stopped, and Neururell also jumped, because Kaiserslautern finally scored a goal to tie the score at 1-2, which made Bochum dangerous again.

"Hamburg St. Pauli, how did they do it, such a good situation, don't lose!"

"You say, they don't lose on purpose, do they?"

"No, they're not going to do that."

……

When the game ended on Bochum's side, they scored a total of three goals and Union Berlin did not score a single goal.

However, neither the players nor the fans celebrated, because the game was not over yet, they were still playing because there were a few more minutes of stoppage time, and the score was still 1-2.

At this time, it was as if there was no one in the entire Ruhr Stadium, whether it was the fans, the players, or the coaches, they were all quietly waiting for the results over there.

Kaiserslautern only need one more goal to move them into third, while if they don't, Bochum can move up to third by points.

"I'm so nervous, it looks like I used to buy lottery tickets and wait to win!"

"The last few minutes, God forbid, hopefully they will continue to play this score until the end!"

"Hamburg St. Pauli, come on!"

While the fans were waiting, the players came next to the manager.

Neulurell was also thrilled at this point, he could feel his heart pounding, and the team had been teetering on the brink of relegation for previous seasons before finally having a chance to be promoted to the Bundesliga.

Although there are still two promotion play-offs to come, they have won even Stuttgart and Freiburg, so they are still very confident against a team in the Bundesliga relegation zone.

As the minutes ticked by, the players of the Union Berlin had long since left, so it was full of Bochum supporters, and the whole stadium was like a calm before the storm, and no one doubted that if the good news arrived, it would turn into a sea of joy.

On the other hand, the manager of Kaiserslautern also knows the current situation of the team, and is directing the team to make the final struggle, constantly waving his hands for the players to attack, and even their goalkeeper has come out at this time, they have to make a desperate bet.

However, Hamburg St. Pauli defended very solidly until the referee blew the final whistle and Kaiserslautern did not score again.

At the same time, the Ruhr Stadium radio also broadcast the news, "Kaiserslautern lost 1-2 at home to Hamburg St. Pauli. ”

The fans and the players and coaches all got the news from different sources and they started celebrating at the same time!

There were many ways for fans to celebrate, some started running wild on the sidelines, some started singing, and some started dancing......

And those fans who didn't come to the stadium also celebrated at home, and if they didn't know, they thought that the team they supported won the league championship.

On the other hand, it was much simpler on the players' side, they simply celebrated, just like they usually scored, after all, they are not completely certain of promotion to the Bundesliga right now, so they can't be too happy.

After this match, the Bundesliga standings have also been finalized.

The first place is Hertha Berlin, 21 wins, 10 draws, 3 losses, total 73 points; Second place is Brunswick, 19 wins, 10 draws, 5 losses, total 67 points; The third place is Bochum, 17 wins, 7 draws, 10 losses, total 58 points; The fourth is Kaiserslautern, 15 wins, 12 draws, 7 losses, 57 points; In fifth place is FSV Frankfurt, who drew 2-2 with the desperate Braunschweig in their last away game, so they currently have 15 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses, accumulating 53 points.

Hertha Berlin and Braunschweig can be promoted directly, while Bochum will play in the promotion play-offs; The Bundesliga matches were also completed yesterday, with Fortuna Dusseldorf and Fürth in 17th and 18th places respectively, who will be relegated directly, and Hoffenheim in 16th place, so Bochum and Hoffenheim will play two legs on May 23 and May 27, with Bochum away first and then at home.

Away and then home is a favourable schedule for this kind of two-legged match, and Bochum is currently in high morale, so all in all, their winning rate is still very high.

In the afternoon, the club gave the players a holiday to let them move freely, and the members of the coaching staff began to study Hoffenheim's previous training, and then took advantage of the remaining days to do targeted training for the players to improve the winning rate; They also believe that Hoffenheim's coaching staff must be doing the same at this time.

After this game, Shen Peng's popularity in China has also become more and more high, it can be said that Bochum can rank third, all thanks to Shen Peng, and they still have a chance to be promoted to the Bundesliga!

Single-handedly bringing a Bundesliga team to the Bundesliga, which was previously possible in the country? There are even very few players who can start consistently at this level in the Bundesliga.
