At 18 o'clock local time on February 22, the Dresden Dynamo team welcomed the Hansa Rostock team, which is also a former East German team, at home, due to the end of the cold war between the team and several major fan organizations, it can only accommodate less than 24,000 people (less than 10,000 seats) Rudolf. More than 25,000 people poured into the Harbigh Stadium, more than the total number of tickets, and it is unknown how they got in. This naturally brought a great test to the security work of the stadium, but it also made Gao Jun, a new player, feel the enthusiasm of the Dresden fans for the first time. The compatriots, who numbered hundreds of people in the stands, made the five Chinese players feel quite friendly
In a sense, the "Eastern Derby", like the previous "Chinese Derby", is actually mainly a gimmick made by the media. However, for the fans of Dresden, especially those who have lived through the glory of the East German era, the confrontation with other former East German teams such as Hansa Rostock has a special significance.
When the Dresden Dynamo team was at its peak, she was basically alone in the East German league, and a team like Rostock didn't even deserve to lift her shoes. After the reunification of Germany, Dresden was quickly relegated due to the outflow of a large number of key players and financial difficulties, and then fell all the way to the regional league, and it was not until last season that it was re-re-relegated to the second division; However, Rostock stabilized its decline in the Bundesliga, and then once entered the Bundesliga for several years, during which there was even an experience of reaching the League Cup, and now when the two teams meet again, the former East German hegemon has become a weak team in the Bundesliga, while Rostock is a well-known "former Bundesliga team" in the Bundesliga, in contrast. How can the psychology of Dresden fans be balanced?
The outstanding performance of the Dresden team in the first three games of the second half has boosted the confidence of the fans, and everyone is hoping that the team can use the home advantage to bloodied the Hansa Rostock team and let them know that Dresden has "returned to the king"! Amid the huge cheers of the fans like a landslide and tsunami, Dresden only made a slight probe after the start of the game, and Hao Junmin on the right side took the lead in blowing the horn of attack
Thanks to Gao Jun's excellent table of six goals in three games. Rostock naturally saw them as the number one danger and they became the first team in the Bundesliga to implement a targeted target tactic against the high side. Wherever Gao Jun went, a Rostock player followed him the whole time, and when he approached the danger zone, one or even two players would come up to defend him.
Under such a strict "1+1+1" tactical targeting, Gao Jun's performance in this game was greatly limited, but Rostock actually "hurt the enemy first." ", giving the rest of the Dresden team greater freedom of movement. Although Rostock wisely opted for anti-counter-tactics to guarantee the number of defenders. However, due to the fact that Gao Jun pinned down many Rostock's defenders, undermined the integrity of their defensive system, and used his excellent tactical awareness to frequently pull and open up space for his teammates, Rostock's dense defense was difficult to achieve the desired results.
And because this game is Dresden's home stadium, in the frenzied atmosphere created by more than 20,000 home team fans, the referee will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, and with the personal breakthrough ability of Conca and Artemisia Junmin, as long as the referee is not too dark, it is really difficult to defend against the middle and lower reaches of the German Second Division like the current Rostock team
13th minute. After Conca got the ball away from the close interference of an opposing player, he keenly saw a gap in the Rostock defense that Gao Jun used to pull. Losing no time in delivering a well-placed through ball, Hao Junmin ran to the position to receive the ball and beautifully shook off the Rostock players who pounced on the defense twice, and then swept the ball into the net with his right foot when the angle was already small, helping the Dresden team break the deadlock on the field!
"Conca's pass was fantastic, but unfortunately according to the rules of the German league (mainly Hao Junmin passed before the goal), it was not an assist. If it's the Premier League, it's different", Gao Jun complained silently in his heart, with a smile on his face, and ran over to high-five Conca and Hao Junmin, and his teammates also ran over to surround them at this time.
"As long as there are no black whistles. There are also suitable players in the team, and individual breakthroughs are always the number one weapon to break the defense. Gao Jun looked at the depressed Rostock players, and was more confident in Dresden's future than before, "Although the run-in is not yet complete, a middle and lower team like Rostock is indeed unable to compete with us under normal circumstances, and Dresden's home advantage is much greater than I originally thought."
The process of the game also once again verified Gao Jun's judgment, less than 10 minutes after Artemisia Junmin scored, Xue Lin received Artemisia Junmin's accurate cross in the penalty area, and directly met the ball volley without stopping the ball
"It seems that I am indeed wrong, these Chinese players have the strength to surpass their current team status (in fact, there is a tacit bonus), Gao Jun not only has no public power for private use, he can even be said to be selfless!" After witnessing the outbreak of Chinese players in the team again, Gretz couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, "There is no point in apologizing to them now, we can only redouble our support for the team and encourage them to achieve better results!" ”
Although the German fans are very loyal, and most of them will not give up even if the team results are bad, it is clear that when the team is good, the fans will be passionate when they cheer for them. In addition, Dresden fans don't know if it's because they often fight with fans of other teams, the degree of organization is quite high, although there are only more than 20,000 people, but the shouting momentum is not inferior to those of the world's top giants, they can even stare at a certain player on the other side almost uniformly and scold, and even can make jokes one by one, unlike domestic fans who can only shout "XX XX" at most
This terrible home atmosphere invisibly exerted huge psychological pressure on the players on the field of the Rostock team and the referees who officiated the game, and the Dresden team became more and more combative, and even Gao Jun, who has always been quiet and introverted, felt that his blood was boiling for a while
After falling behind by two goals, the mentality of the Rostock team was inevitably a little impatient, and this game was a "derby", so the players on the field unconsciously moved bigger. However, it was Dresden's home stadium, so it was only natural that the Rostock players were brutal enough to receive several yellow cards and free kicks from a number of good positions. As a result, in the 31st minute, Hao Junmin's free kick scored directly to help Dresden expand the score to 3:0! By this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the outcome of the game had actually been decided in advance
However, Dresden's offensive did not stop there, and only three minutes later, the fiery form of the game received Gao Jun's signature pass to score with a header, further consolidating the team's advantage on the field. After that, Rostock's mentality was completely out of control, and soon a player was sent off for a flying tackle on Conca (Conca's way of dribbling is not a normal way to irritate defenders), so that they had no hope of a theoretical comeback!
What made the Rostock coach vomit blood even more was that although Conca flew up the moment he was shoveled, he soon stood up again, obviously not suffering any major injuries at all. Speaking of which, although Conca looks short and thin, his body is not bad, and his balance and flexibility are excellent, his center of gravity is super low, and he is mixed up in the super dirty South American league, and his body has always suffered, and his self-protection skills have long been perfected, so it is not easy to get him injured
When the first half was about to enter stoppage time, Gao Jun took advantage of the increasingly chaotic defensive system after the opponent's lack of people, and made a tacit mistake under the cover of Xue Lin to get rid of the opponent's close marking. However, due to his position, Gao Jun did not get the angle of the shot, and then he saw a teammate in the corner of his right eye and cut into the box. Gao Jun immediately passed the ball directly towards him without any delay, and then saw that the person turned out to be right-back Langen, and he didn't expect him to go forward to such a deep position
However, although Langen is a fullback, his shooting ability is quite good, although his outflanking push in the big penalty area is not strong, but the angle is quite tricky, although the goalkeeper of the Hansa Rostock team fell to the ground to save at the first time, but still could not prevent the ball from entering the net, and the score of the first half was finally fixed at 5:0 that everyone did not expect before the game!
With such a scoreline in the first half, even in the German league, which often plays miracles, the visitors will not be able to turn the tables around. And Dresden's head coach Stano considered that the next game against Bochum would not be easy, so he used the young Brazilian teenager No. 15 Hulk at halftime to bring Dario, the core of the midfield who suffered many violent fouls in the first half. Conca was brought to rest, and Gao Jun, who was replaced by Hulk in the left winger position, dropped back to play in the midfield position. (To be continued......)
