Magnum, of course, wouldn't tell anyone else what he had talked to Behrens.

The reason why he was put on the starting list again was purely because of competitive considerations.

Bechlens has slowly shown his characteristics in training, with wide coverage, strong positional sense, fierce tackles and a good success rate, as well as a long-range shot after a kick, which is really in line with his tactical requirements compared to other midfielders.

St. Pauli is not without a Bechelens, but at least for the moment, the universal still has to ensure the team's results, and Bechelens also assured him that as long as he plays, he will absolutely not reserve and will show 100% ability.

The almighty believed him.

In the past, the biggest opinion about him was that he felt unprofessional, but now it seems that he really can't be too arbitrary.

As for those things off the field, the club can help, and if it can't be reconciled in the end, then go through the termination process.

Now it's just a matter of being able to top one game and stay up until the winter transfer window.

………

November 21.

St. Pauli fans, who had been holding back for two weeks, packed the Miller Gate Stadium to its knees.

Before the game even started, they sang from "St. Pauli in My Heart" to "The Last Victory", then AC/DC's "Hells Bells" and the Liverpool anthem, "You'll Never Go Alone".

Nothing else, we St. Pauli fans just love to sing.

Accompanied by the singing of the fans, 22 players from both teams stepped into the field.

Ahead of this match, St. Pauli are in sixth place and Bochum is third.

The difference in points between the two teams is six points.

But the performance on the pitch was completely reversed.

It's not that Bochum didn't play well, from the first minute of the game, they showed the momentum that a strong team should have, and did not retreat from defending because it was an away game, but let go of the attack.

St. Pauli's reaction to this is, if you attack fiercely, then we are more fierce than you!

In just fifteen minutes, the home side received two yellow cards in exchange for Bochum's demise.

Not attacked? Then don't blame us for being polite.

After two weeks of intensive training, St. Pauli looked at ease on the pitch and the whole team was like an efficient machine, and everyone found their place.

Vice-captain Jan Philippe Carra, who had been a substitute for a while, made his debut, and at left-back, he stepped in again and again and ran at great strength, making it impossible to see that this was a 30-year-old player.

In the 27th minute of the game, he used a beautiful diagonal pass from a 45-degree angle to help Phil Krueger knock on the opponent's door.

The Miller Gate Stadium suddenly resounded with the goal track, "Song 2" by the British band Blur.

They love the song so much, because every time the song floats over the pitch, it means that the team is one step closer to victory.

Bochum, of course, was not a soft persimmon to be kneaded, and they immediately launched a counteroffensive.

But whenever their attack came to the edge of the St. Pauli penalty area, it was always ruined by a blonde guy with a beard.

Hanno Becherens always looks like no one else, even if a teammate communicates with him on the field, he just bites his lip and nods without saying a word.

But he will always be where he should be, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work.

With his silent escort, Zirez also played at his best.

With the two of them firmly in midfield, St. Pauli not only withstood Bochum's attack, but also scored again from the left winger in a counter-attack before the end of the first half.

Ti, who finally opened the goal account, was very excited, and directly slipped to his knees, that is, the court may have spilled a little less water, and he stumbled halfway through the slide, and then he was thrown to the ground by his teammates who were laughing.

In the second half, Bochum was never able to break through the central defense of St. Pauli, so he could only switch to the side, and he could see the move, on the one hand, he replaced Te'o and Sobota to continue to maintain the impact on the left side, and on the other hand, he came on the field and replaced Bechelens, who was carrying a yellow card.

The two did not communicate in the substitution area, but just gave each other a high-five.

Bechelens then gave a rare round of applause in a certain direction of the fan stand.

Although he didn't know why, the enthusiastic St. Pauli fans still applauded him.

Anyone who knows a little bit about penalties can see that he is in really good shape today.

This also greatly eased everyone's anxiety about the midfield problem.

On the other hand, the almighty appearance pushed the enthusiasm of the fans to the peak.

An unfamiliar song has even sounded in the South Stand.

“Jack on the fire！”

“One for the jack！”

“Jack give u shot！

“tooooor！ on the fire！ ”

The catchy Jack Wan's exclusive cheering song quickly went viral among the fans, exciteing the "Glorious Front" who wrote the song.

Since the last close "contact", the new generation of fans led by Hope have regarded Magnum as an idol, and the speed of changing their faces and the strength of support have made the old fans who are familiar with them speechless.

Magnum didn't disappoint the fans either, still with an iconic blast from outside the box that sealed the final score at 3-0.

Crisp and neat.

The media also suddenly discovered that the midfield problems that plagued St. Pauli seemed to have been resolved, and that crazy team was back.

After the game, in the face of reporters' questions about the change of midfielders, Magnum just said a word.

"The strongest man is already in the battle!"

Then he added:

'We are four games away from our relegation goal.

………

After crossing the small hurdle of Bochum, there is a big hurdle waiting for St. Pauli.

After playing with Sandhausen in the next game, they will go to Leipzig to challenge the upstarts of the Bundesliga and the entire German football scene.

RB Leipzig, or RB Leipzig.

If Sandhausen and St. Pauli are comrades on the same front, then Red Bull is a proper nouveau riche.

Why is Sandhausen a comrade-in-arms, because just last month, after being fined 3 points for financial problems, they signed a sponsorship contract with a local technical institute called "Hive" in Heidelberg in order to solve the funds.

The institute advertises in major German sports media, including Bild, and the slogan of the institute is also featured on the billboard at Sandhausen's home stadium.

Their mission is to "provide customer-oriented service and satisfy all the fantasies of customers." ”

The "Hive" brothel also announced that registered fans of Sandhausen can also receive a certain discount if they come to the technical institute to receive services.

Coincidentally, more than a decade ago, when St. Pauli's economy was in trouble and it was about to be relegated from C to D, the girls from the red light district of the entire rope street stepped up, even though the city government rejected the team's loan plan.

They launched a campaign called "Love for St. Pauli" – whoever comes here to find happiness is giving to St. Pauli.

Although there is some gimmick, it also fully reflects the deep love between St. Pauli and the local residents.

So when the two teams met, although they fought fiercely on the court, they were very harmonious off the field.

In the face of 12th-ranked Sandhausen, St. Pauli still won 2-0 despite sending half of the substitutes, and the starting center Budimir scored a header, which is also the best praise for his diligence.

Magnum then put all his energy into preparing for the match against RB Leipzig.

If the match between St. Pauli and Hamburg is a derby, then the fight against Leipzig is a struggle.

The struggle of a small team representing the working class against the pervasive Golden Dollar football.

Maybe there is no right or wrong between the two sides, but St. Pauli needs to show their attitude and their business philosophy in such a game.

Golden dollar football is not necessarily wrong, but football is not just a game of money, at least in Germany.

RB Leipzig didn't have that name, or even had anything to do with it, it was formerly known as SSV Markranstadt, an amateur Leipzig fifth-tier team that was only 100% acquired by Red Bull in 2009.

Originally, Red Bull wanted to buy a traditional local team in Leipzig, but it was unanimously opposed by the former East German powerhouse Lokomotiv Leipzig and the citizens, and later found another way, found an amateur team, and changed its name to Leipzig Grass Earth Sports Association (RasenBallsport Leipzig E.V), referred to as RB Leipzig.

RB is also an abbreviation for Red Bull, which circumvents the German Football Association's rule that does not allow the name of the sponsor in the club's name.

This "wordplay" move has already drawn the ire of many German fans, but it is only the beginning of a series of maneuvers by Red Bull.

Of course, the purpose of their acquisition of the team is not to do charity, but to use the influence of football to promote their brand, so the team must become bigger and stronger.

This year, they were promoted to the Bundesliga as runners-up in the Bundesliga, and then they will face the 50+1 regulations of the German Football Association.

No individual or group can hold more than 49% of the club's shares, and control of the team must be in the hands of the members who make up the fans.

This system is also the cornerstone of the German professional league being the healthiest league in Europe.

For the Red Bull Group, it is an eyesore.

Of course, they will not allow their annual investment of more than 100 million yuan to be controlled by others, so they began to exploit the loopholes of the system in a brazen manner.

After the acquisition of the club, the club was restricted to employees of the Red Bull Group by raising the threshold for membership fees and establishing various internal negation systems, thereby gaining absolute control of the club without violating the regulations.

In order not to make the appearance too ugly, RB Leipzig also reluctantly opened its membership applications to the public, but the sky-high membership fee of up to 1,000 euros and the non-voting membership rights made this so-called openness a kind of irony.

It also made RB Leipzig the most commercial and "most hated team" in Germany.

If this hate is a pyramid, then St. Pauli FC must be at the top of the pyramid.
