The match against Hannover 96 was the last warm-up match before the start of the league, against a Bundesliga team, while Cologne II was a team in the fourth division, and it is no exaggeration to say that the two sides are the difference between Tsinghua University and Pheasant University.

Head coach Christoph Johan is not expecting to win at his home stadium at the Stadio Surest in Cologne.

The most important thing in this warm-up game is to scout the players, after the game, John will officially finalize the squad for the new season, and many people will leave.

On the training ground, John left his players behind after training with the ball, and everyone was full of anticipation, knowing that the head coach was going to announce the starting and squad for tomorrow's game.

Hannover 96 finished 10th in the Bundesliga last season, and it was a dream to play against a team of this level.

Even if it's just a warm-up game, many people are eager to try, after all, what if they are favored by the opposing coach? Then next season I will play directly in the Bundesliga.

Although this kind of YY is extremely unreliable, there is always a dream, what if it comes true!

"I'm going to remind you of tomorrow's game against Hannover, the first move is clean, and the top brass of both teams don't want to see non-professional moves."

"It's also for your own careers."

Everyone nodded, they all ate in the same pot, and if you are rude to others, then you are actually indirectly smashing your own rice bowl.

"Second, don't coax me, although there is a big gap between us and our opponents, but everyone is a two-legged, two-egg man, fight for me when you get on the field."

"Remember?"

"Remember!"

"Alright, I'll announce tomorrow's starting lineup."

Center No. 9 Thomas Booker, a 187-year-tall German center, is also the team's main scorer.

Take a look at the games in Germany's lower leagues to see how Klose's header ability is made.

In the lower leagues, because of the rougher technique, the reliance on the center will be more obvious.

On the wing, No. 11 Giovanni Federico, as everyone likes to call him, is a modest Italian.

No. 10 Mike Niddle, who is the midfielder and the heart of the team's midfield.

After reading the starting list, the head coach began to read the substitute list, which was different from the previous game, this warm-up match was according to the standards of the official game, that is, there were only seven substitutes.

John pronounced the names of the players one by one, and those who were selected were delighted, while those who were not selected hung their heads.

Until the last person, more than a dozen people are waiting, who will be the last lucky one?

"Tang Zhenglong!"

When John read out Tang Zhenglong's name, everyone was stunned, the excellent water cooler administrator of the Cologne team was selected for the squad?

"Head, did you mispronounce it?" Someone asked.

Usually in the game with the amateur team, Tang Zhenglong can only manage the water dispenser, this is a game with the Bundesliga team, I really don't know what the head coach thinks?

John turned the list back to the group, "I wrote it myself, can I make a mistake?" ”

After reading out the squad, the players dispersed, John looked at Tang Zhenglong's back, this was the last chance he gave, he wanted to confirm whether Tang Zhenglong's run in the penalty area in the last game was a dog S luck, or did he really have a sense of smell in the penalty area?

*****

Hannover's current head coach is German Ewald Lieneng, these two months, Leneng can be described as from heaven to hell, originally last season won the 10th in the Bundesliga is a very good result, but the summer team went a few main players, and the pre-season warm-up game played like S.

Since the gathering in July, he has played 3 warm-up games, and Hannover has lost all of them, so Li Neng is eager to find a soft persimmon to pinch the team and restore the team's self-confidence, so he agreed to the warm-up match with the Cologne second team.

Needless to say, the players also know in their hearts that this game is for everyone to find the feeling of shooting, and they have encountered such situations before, so the whole Hannover team was more relaxed when they came to Cologne.

It was with this in mind that the players walked into Cologne's Stadio Sud, an amateur stadium with a capacity of only 10,000 people, which is used by several other amateur teams in the Cologne region for their home games.

After the start of the game, as expected, Hannover formed a comprehensive pressure on the Cologne II team, and Cologne even struggled to play the ball in the midfield.

Hannover used their midfield advantage to hammer Cologne's middle, but just as Cologne was hoarding players in the middle to defend, Hannover suddenly distributed the ball to the wing.

A wide shift disrupted Cologne's defence, and just as the Cologne defence was loose, Hannover sent in a curling cross that German international Hank leaped high and smashed the ball into the near corner.

1 to 0.

John looked at the time, 8 minutes, which means that Cologne's defense only lasted 8 minutes, which was much worse than he imagined, and he originally thought that his bucket formation could last at least 20 minutes.

What's worse is that after conceding the goal, Cologne is in chaos, and these players with thousands of monthly salaries are really not on the same level as the opponents with millions of annual salaries.

At the end of the first half, the score was 4-0.

The head coach of Hannover smiled, this soft persimmon is really good, and it came out of the water.

At halftime, the players on both sides walked to the locker room, and John patted Tang Zhenglong, "You stay to warm up and play in the second half." ”

Tang Zhenglong grinned, "No problem." ”

"Don't laugh so early, this is your last chance, if you really have any strength, show it."

Tang Zhenglong is a little sweaty, so he has to be able to get a chance to shoot on goal, but it's always good to be able to play.

In the second half, Hannover lowered the offensive tempo, pinched too many soft persimmons, and was also aesthetically tired, not to mention that he had already scored 6.

Tang Zhenglong touched the ball twice after he came on the field, football is a collective event, the whole team was suppressed, and Tang Zhenglong had nothing to do.

In the 80th minute, Cologne got a corner kick opportunity, Jowa ran over to kick off, John was happy, he was about to take the opportunity to take a look at Tang Zhenglong's exquisite movement, but when he looked at it, he almost scolded his mother.

I saw Tang Zhenglong standing outside the penalty area, like a piece of wood, Tang Zhenglong did this also makes sense, as an Asian and a German with five big and three thick to grab the header, this is really not good at, unless there is a corner kick god-level point card, otherwise stay outside the penalty area, it is not good to wait until the second drop point.

"Don, you're dead, I swear I won't give you even a second more time to play."

John gestured to the substitute players to get up, and he was going to replace Tang Zhenglong immediately the next time he died.
