The German Cup, as it is traditionally called, should be called the German Football Association Cup, which is a long-established competition, and the purpose of holding it is similar to that of the other four major leagues.

Encourage teams in lower leagues to participate in the guò to receive rewards and promote the overall development of football in the country.

Kaiserslautern's most recent trophy was the German Cup at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin '96, beating Karlsruhe 1-0.

The cup match at the weekend was already the second round of the knockout round, and their opponents were still an amateur team.

The team's thin and young lineup gave mixed opinions to the media before the game. However, the more unanimous opinion is that the two heavily protected guys will not be exhausted in this kind of game, and there is a lack of a suitable guard line for rotating players, and they will certainly not all play with the main force. Other guys who are between the main substitutes should have a greater chance to play.

As a result, when the starting lineup came out, everyone was a little surprised.

Except for Booker, Saggett, and Bednar, who are both young and didn't play in the last round, most of the other players can't even be named!

This situation immediately caused a lot of discussion.

There are many upsets in the cup competitions in various countries, and many middle and lower teams, teams with no hope of entering the European League, will use the FA Cup as a good stage, which can not only train young people through guò games, but also appease the guys who have not been able to play the main team for a long time. Many teams and managers who can be called cup masters will see the proportion of this knockout stage quite large.

After all, after a busy year, if there is no other performance, the FA Cup championship and the qualification for next year's Super Cup can also be a good performance highlight.

Rehhagel is a cup master.

He was in the heyday of the Bremen dynasty. He has led the team to the FA Cup final for three consecutive years and lifted the championship trophy twice. Moreover, in the German Super Cup in '88, '93, '94, he commanded the team to win three times. It has received quite good reviews in the industry. In addition to the German battlefield, he also led the team to the last laugh on the European battlefield in 92, winning one of the most important trophies of the Bremen dynasty - the European Cup Winners' Cup.

Such a cup master is actually stingy in the starting lineup, and the purpose is already coming out.

The goal is just the league!

Combined with the team's adventurous lineup and adventurous tactics in the previous round, the insiders have set their sights on a deeper level.

The goal of this team is never to gain a foothold in the middle. They are using the standards of the old Bundesliga powerhouses to demand themselves!

This ambition quickly shocked everyone who followed the team, making them take a deep breath and whet a huge appetite.

Without strong reinforcements, no high salary returns, and not enough squad depth, this team is a grassroots civilian team by any measure.

Such a team. Actually demanding himself with such a high standard, he didn't take the German Cup seriously.

What do you want to do with the promoted horse?

Fritz Walter Stadium. Rehhagel, who sat quietly in the conductor's seat watching the game, hadn't thought about it for a long time.

For him, this issue was once important, but now it is not.

The reason is simple.

He didn't know that this team and his proud disciples. What kind of height can be reached, what kind of realm can be achieved!

Revenge, slapping in the face, trampling the opponent who once embarrassed him, these are the goals that are imagined by the outside world. has been shelved by him.

Maybe after finishing this season, I'll take it out and see.

Inadvertently, how many goals have been accomplished!

The level of competition was not high, but the scene was intense.

This situation is understandable.

If the weak team doesn't have a positive attitude, it deserves to be poor and weak all the time and be stepped on!

The three named guys in Kaiserslautern's squad have undoubtedly become the most concerned objects of the team and the commentary. Their table is also in line with their level, and they have been playing well in the first 30 minutes of the game. It was only because of the opponent's purposeful counter-attacking strategy that it failed to help the team break the deadlock.

The fact that the professional team can't play the amateur team is a bit embarrassing at first glance, but after a closer look, it is relieved.

Across Germany, being eligible to be part of the 24 amateur teams participating in the German Cup will be of a fair level and fighting power, even if they are amateurs. If the team's tactics are on the right side and the players rarely make mistakes, it is not uncommon to insist on not conceding a goal for half a game.

Of the above three, only Bednar has more opportunities to play, Suggette is widely considered to be too immature in the Bundesliga at the current level, and Booker is a 10,000-year-old substitute, and it is really difficult to change the direction of the game with one hand.

As a result, the real focus on the field is the 19-year-old Bena.

He has experienced more than half a year of training in the team, and his level and mentality have grown a lot. At the beginning, the arrogant boy who dared to fight with the old guy when he first joined the team has gradually changed his image in a mature direction.

This match is actually a good litmus test, and Rehhagel and the old guys in the stands are eager to see if he can have the strength and heart to stand alone.

However, Yu Mo on the bench had no such intentions. His focused eyes were more about observing the overall situation of the game.

"Hey, you say, is the once arrogant boy much more mature than before, and he was knocked to the ground by someone, and he didn't get up to fight the opponent?" Next to him, there was a South American fuss in Rachinho's voice.

"If you have such a big reaction to a normal body collision, it's time to perform on the professional wrestling ring." Yumo's answer was a little unimpressed, and he didn't even look at the Brazilian.

"Please, it's rare for people to watch a game with you, don't look unhappy, okay?" Latchenho clasped his hands together, and his eyes flashed cutely.

"We're substitutes, not spectators, do you want the boss to punish you for copying 'I shouldn't talk nonsense in class' a hundred times?" As soon as You Mo turned his head, he quickly turned back, trying to hold back the upheaving lunch.

The beard is not shaved clean, what kind of innocent girl is pretending?!

"Seriously. You must have been naughty when you used to study, and it must have been commonplace to review or something! Latchenho smiled smirkedly and sat upright.

"By the way, what grade do Brazilians read?" You Mo suddenly became interested, turned his head and asked.

"Oh, I think about it. I think it's the fourth grade. Anyway, I didn't graduate from elementary school! Rachinho looked up at the blue sky and white clouds before he came out of his memory.

"Well, what about you, Kuka, and Barak." Yu Mo was not less interested, and continued to ask the guy who was sitting on the bench together.

"The German education system is strict enough, I was 15 years old at that time, and I had to study for half a day every day!" Kuka looked back and muttered to himself.

"It's okay. Very few people can live their lives by playing football, and it's not a bad thing to learn more when you're young. Like him, I had five half-days a week of cultural classes until I was 18 years old. In fact, in Germany, many people are already professional footballers, and they have not given up their original professional ideals, and they usually insist on self-study. Barak was obviously a good baby, and his answer was exhaustive. The attitude is quite religious.

"What's the use, learn that bunch of!" Latchenho listened for a moment. Obviously, I am a little unhappy with my lowest level of education.

"Well, I think so too. If you can recognize a few words, you can get it, and the society is the best teacher! The bad boy Kuka decisively expressed his solidarity, and his face was triumphant.

"What about you, how many years of school? Also, why do you ask all this? Barak glanced at the guy on the field. Ask.

"Me?" You Moyu paused for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Guess! ”

"Well, I can't guess." Barak tilted his head and thought for a moment, and the answer was sincere.

"How old is this guy going to play in Brazil, I guess the level of culture is about the same as mine!" Latchinho is like the discovery of a new world. Dancing and chanting.

"yes, but it doesn't feel like it." Barak didn't give in lightly, his eyes still staring at the guy he couldn't see.

"If you don't guess, what level should it be based on feeling?" You Mo was a little hairy by his staring, and interrupted his gaze with a loud voice.

"It shouldn't be lower than me, at least, the IQ is above me." Barak lowered his head for a moment, then looked up and replied.

"This guy is just smart, how can it be as exaggerated as you say, don't sue me that he has been teaching himself or something!" Kuka clearly couldn't accept this answer and shouted.

"It's like, to be honest, isn't it like me, didn't graduate from elementary school?" Latchenho decisively supported the guys on the same front, and the smugness in his voice beckoned Rehhagel over.

"It's a lively discussion, what's the conclusion?"

As soon as the old man's words came out, the bench fell into a brief silence.

"We're talking about the relationship between literacy and professional football, and it's a bit controversial at the moment." You Mo looked at the state of the turtles with the heads of the good brothers, and laughed in his heart.

The loud-voiced Brazilians, the Americans who are not afraid of the sky and the earth, come and continue to shout!

"Education, which emphasizes the learning ability and learning methods, does not focus on the amount of knowledge. Professional football requires a high degree of self-discipline and a strong ability to learn, do you think it is important? Rehhagel nodded slightly, acknowledging the value of their discussion.

"When Basler met you, what struck you, apart from football?"

As soon as You Mo's question was raised, everyone began to stare at each other.

Dare to ask such a taboo question in person, it's too bold!

Rehhagel was visibly lost in thought, and after a long while, he raised his head, his voice hoarse, and his eyes a little cloudy, "Probably, it's loneliness." Or rather, a situation that makes people feel compassionate, even though he was no longer a child at that time. ”

The answer also shocked everyone.

There is such an intricate relationship between the boss and Basler?

What kind of process can be learned between Mo and the boss to openly discuss this kind of problem?

What kind of truth is hidden behind a qiē?

The bench, shrouded in these speculations, and Rehhagel, whose mind was filled with memories, were somewhat distracted.

It took a moment for Latchinho's weak voice to break the silence.

"Boss, Benett seems to be in trouble." (To be continued......)
