26. The trouble of the Zhengtai Legion

The Tivoli Stadium, about 18,000 fans poured into the stadium today. Among them, the Cologne fans were concentrated in the North Stand, about 800 people, who drove from Cologne to Aachen to cheer on the team.

Because the Aachen team is still playing very chic, their home attendance has not been low.

Coach John continued his last start from Cologne today, and it is worth mentioning that the youngster Harric, who has just been promoted to the first team, was on the bench today.

"Hello crowds and welcome to the Tivoli Stadium, the game will start in a few minutes."

"Today we will face Cologne, who have won two games in a row in the first two games of the season and can be said to be one of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga right now."

'But we are not without chances, as the play of the two strikers Diane and Daune will be key in this game, and the two of them have already scored four goals together in two rounds and are in good form. In addition, I don't know if Xie from China will be able to play in this game, to be honest, many Aachen fans are still very nostalgic for his performance in the front court of Tivoli the year before. The Aachen team's on-site commentator explained.

At this moment, the final edge picking is already being carried out on the field.

Cologne's captain Citchion chose the right, while the opponent chose the left.

The referee checked the ball and looked at the watch as the match would start at 15:30 German time.

“b――!” After seeing the time on the stopwatch, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Cologne will attack from right to left in the first half, while Aachen will attack from left to right.

Today the Aachen team lined up their usual 442 formation, the two strikers in front are Diane and Daun, behind them are the team's two wing-backs, the Aachen team's midfield is composed of two iron waists, and the back line has the experienced Landgraff, the right full-back who is only 1.69 meters tall has never played in the top league in his career, since the beginning of his career, Landgraf has been playing in the Bundesliga, it is said that if Landgraf continues to play like this, He will go on to become the player with the most appearances in the history of the Bundesliga. This is also a relatively good record.

In short, the Aachen team will not let Cologne easily take away three points from Tivoli today, and the task of the Aachen team today is also to upgrade, although their strength is slightly lacking, but from the first two rounds of the league, the team that shows absolute strength is only the Cologne team, and the strength of the other teams is relatively average.

This year's Bundesliga can be said to be the era of dominance, for the Aachen team, if they want to open up the gap with other teams, then they must play well against Cologne and try to score points from the leaders, so that they will have a great advantage in the competition with other teams.

Once the game began, the Aachen team also played their style, using the continuous interspersed between the left and right wing-backs and the midfielder to form a breakthrough and then cross the bottom.

Aachen center forward Dawn in the middle is an astonishing 195cm, which is a height that stands out from the crowd in the Cologne team's penalty area! Aachen's other striker, Diane, is a speedy player who will grab the second spot when Dawn goes for the top.

One high and one fast, a classic striker partner.

For Cologne, the biggest problem of the day was the lack of experience.

Du Yangtong shoes and his baby army are very young, the team's two fullbacks Froman and Bercoman are both post-80s talents, they tend to ask for the ball in defense, so that the opponent can easily play behind them. Although Froman and Bercoman are both very fast in their pursuits, after all, they can't run the ball, and in front of the opponent's fluid passing, Froman and Bercoman look a little stupid.

Cologne's captain Citchion has already made up for the two little ones a few times today, and the team's other centre-back, Kuhlmann, is also tired enough. It is estimated that if they continue to play like this, the two central defenders of the Cologne team will be exhausted sooner or later.

On the sidelines, John was also at a loss, he had thought about the start of the Aachen team before the game, but what he didn't think about was that Aachen's start was so fierce!

And their high school striker Dawn is really difficult to deal with, he is tall and strong and can fight for the top without jumping, and the Cologne defender will be judged by the referee to be fouled once he fights for the top. For this reason, Cologne had already given Aachen a couple of free-kicks after the opening.

Trouble, trouble, Cologne is in trouble. Ahem, it should be said that Du and his baby army are in big trouble.

"The biggest defeat for Cologne today was the two full-backs, and it seems that they managed to hold Cologne back in attack." Aachen's narrator explained.

It's been almost 10 minutes since the start of the game, and the Aachen team has been storming around the Cologne team for a long time.

Finally, in the 13th minute of the first half, Aachen took the lead in knocking on the door of the Cologne team.

On the field, Aachen striker Diane won the ball on the right flank and made a classic one-two with the team's midfielder, and then Diane continued to dribble along the flank, successfully tearing away the Cologne defence, and then Diane chose to cross the bottom.

The ball whistled into the Cologne penalty area, where Aachen centre-forward Dawn leaped high and smashed Cologne's centre-back Kurman into the Cologne goal.

Cologne's goalkeeper Halchin helplessly watched the ball go into the net, he didn't have the slightest way to do it, and Dawn was too tricky.

1 to 0! The Aachen fans at the Tivoli Stadium shouted excitedly, they were ahead!

Dawn celebrated with a bow and a shot that Dawn has used three times this season.

"I wish I could see Dawn do this every week, it's so crucial for the team! He's a top player, he's impactful, and Dawn is only 27 years old, in his prime as a centre-forward......" said the Aachen commentator.

For Cologne, Dawn's goal clearly put them in a bad position, and if their defensive problems are not resolved, it is estimated that Aachen will have a good chance of winning this game.

Sadly, Froman and Berkoman looked at each other innocently, and the left and right sides of their town had been burst many times today.

John was also very depressed on the sidelines, which was obviously not the normal level of Froman and Berkoman......

That's the weakness of a young man, when he is confident, he can be more confident than anyone else, he can play as much as he wants, and when he loses confidence, he can play as bad as he wants. Big ups and downs are a common problem among young people......
