Chapter 33: Frankfurt

readx;

When Duan Bin got up from the hotel room he was in, the first thing he heard was a crackling sound coming from the window, which was very clear in this quiet early morning. He got up and opened the curtains www.biquge.info and saw a rainy and misty world.

It's raining.

"Looks like we're going to have a rain fight." At the same time, Chu Zhongtian was also standing in front of the window of the hotel, looking at the wet world outside.

※※※Actually, the rain has little effect on professional players, not to mention that it is not a violent storm, just a light rain.

But for the CCTV football night crew who came to shoot this game, it was very annoying. They had to be drenched in the rain for at least ninety minutes. At the same time, Duan Bin and Yang Chen will be in the commentary seat to explain the game live, and they don't have to worry about getting wet in the rain, and they won't even be able to float in a single drop of rain.

However, the biggest impact of the weather today on the players was not the rain, but the low temperatures. The time has entered October, and Germany has entered late autumn. Baden-Württemberg, where Mannheim is located, is a famous summer resort in Germany, and even in summer, the temperature here is a few degrees lower than other places, and it naturally cools faster.

Since yesterday the temperature has been cooling down in the Mannheim area, and today the weather department is forecasting a temperature of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. Such a temperature made many fans who came to watch the game wear thick clothes. The players also wore long pants and long-sleeved jackets when they warmed up, and did not take off only shorts, and even some players who were afraid of the cold wore hats.

After the CCTV crew set up the camera, they began to shoot the warm-up footage of the players. Because it was just filming, there was no need for the reporter to chatter with a microphone next to him, so the poor reporter stood on the edge of an exit with his neck hunched, where he sheltered from the rain and watched the cameraman work from a distance.

As the players from both sides warmed up in the rain, Emily also came to the Karl Benz Stadium to watch the game in the box.

Her appearance attracted the attention of the media. Before the start of the game, the TV broadcast deliberately gave Emily a short shot, and she appeared not only on the TV broadcast, but also on the big screen on the scene.

There were other people in the box who saw Emily. Stan also got up to shake hands with her and asked for a photo to be signed, and Emily met them all. After a while, she sat down in her seat to watch her boyfriend's warm-up.

※※※ The warm-up of the team today is more than usual, because the weather is bad today, the temperature is low, and there is rain, so in order to avoid the players getting injured during the game, the warm-up will be ten minutes longer than usual.

And while the players were warming up, the live broadcast began to liven up the atmosphere. Generally speaking, the means of enlivening the atmosphere is to put on music, which has been a tradition since decades ago and continues to this day. But today the means of enlivening the atmosphere are not the same. Today, I thought that the announcer from Deutsche Welle China would teach you how to speak Chinese.

"Now read it with me - jiayou!"

"Outing!"

"Add wine!"

"Guy!"

Everyone shouted strangely, and there were all kinds of pronunciations. Everyone laughed after shouting.

"Very good, everyone learned well, but we still have to keep practicing, and come back - jiayou!"

"Baking oil!!"

Duan Bin and Yang Chen, who saw this scene, looked at each other and smiled, obviously much better than before. The two of them started chatting about this matter, and talked about whether Yang Chen had also enjoyed such treatment when he was in Frankfurt.

Yang Chen confessed: "No. There may be spontaneous fans, but this is the first time I've seen the club organize. ”

When the players returned to their locker rooms after the warm-up and made final preparations for the game, the live broadcast announced that a Chinese dragon dance team from Munich had been invited to perform a pure Chinese dragon dance for everyone.

There were huge cheers and applause. This kind of warm-up is much better than just playing pop music.

The Chinese dragon dance team from the local Chinese community in Munich wore traditional dragon dance costumes, and the dancers appeared in a colorful long dragon.

It's rare for Germans to see such an exotic performance, and they all watch it with great devotion, cheering with every wonderful move of the dragon dance team.

While the audience was enjoying the dragon dance performance, the players from both sides were in their respective dressing rooms to receive the final arrangements of the head coach.

Eintracht Frankfurt have two losses, three draws and one win in the first six rounds of the league, accumulating six points. Fourteenth in the table, just one step away from the relegation zone.

As for Hoffenheim, three wins, two losses and one draw in six rounds of league games, accumulating 10 points and ranking sixth. If you look at the points, Hoffenheim is better than Eintracht Frankfurt. But football can't be compared so simply, especially in a football game, and a lot of statistics are actually meaningless.

A well-known Argentine football commentator once said, "There is no logic in a single football game, it only has logic when hundreds of games are combined." ”

Therefore, to analyze the opponents of this game, you can't just look at this one game, you have to watch six rounds all the time, from the beginning of the league to now, Eintracht Frankfurt have played a total of six rounds.

Their football is very boring and mainly focuses on defensive counter-attacks. But they don't have enough players up front. This led Rangnick to believe that it would be difficult for Eintracht Frankfurt to threaten Hoffenheim away from home, so he opted for the 433 formation before the game, a more attacking formation that would give the team a much better chance of winning against opponents who were not as strong as them.

In this game, Rangnick gave his players only one task - attack. Destroy Frankfurt completely with constant attacks.

Eintracht Frankfurt, their head coach Ursula von Kerkel (friedhelm_funkel) is also aware of the current situation. Although the team finished ninth in the league last season under his leadership, it was only that. After the start of the new season, the team will still have to fight for relegation. He's not, as some on the outside world think Hoffenheim are just a promoted team that doesn't matter a big deal. He has mentally ruled Hoffenheim out of the list of relegation teams this season.
