Chapter 0158, young man, good luck
"Hello everyone, welcome to Deutsche SportTV, I'm the host SchrΓΆder, and sitting next to me is today's guest commentator Hesle. Today's match is the final match of the 12th round of the Bundesliga, with Ketbus playing Schalke 04 at home. β
"In previous seasons, this game would not have attracted too much attention, after all, the two teams have a very different record and quality, but this season is different. Cottagers, who have won eight in a row at the beginning, have recently suffered three consecutive draws, but they are still at the top of the Bundesliga table and are the big dark horses this season. β
Schalke 04, on the other hand, were runners-up in the Bundesliga last season and have also performed well this season, finishing third in the league. Bayern won a big win yesterday, one point ahead of Ivorybus with one game in hand, and regained the top spot in the Bundesliga. Schalke 04 is only three points less than Bayern with one more round. The outcome of this match will directly determine the ranking of the top few places in the Bundesliga. β
Schroeder looked at the list of players in his hand: "Today for Ivbus, their starting lineup is a 4-4-2 formation, goalkeeper Hildebrand, defenders from left to right are Waksmut, Kukirka, Da Silva and Ipsa, four midfielders from left to right are Shao Jiayi, Li Tie, Sauer and Yu Hai, and forwards are Adriano and Cassano. The seven substitutes were: Tremer, Fike, Tsvetanovic, Lylehill, Rost, Shaheen and Tretko. β
'Cottage Ivos were still playing with all their squad today, which shows their determination to win at home. Although Schalke 04 is strong, I think Cottages will definitely cause problems at home. β
Hesll took over: "Man, my opinion is the opposite of yours, I think Cottages will swallow a big defeat in this game!" Who are their opponents? It's Schalke 04! It is the team that ranks second only to Bayern in the Bundesliga odds list! There is no doubt about their strength. β
"The reason why Cottages have been able to perform really well this season is precisely because they have never had a strong opponent! Whether it is Bayern, Schalke 04, or Bremen, Hamburg, Ketbus has not met them, there are six games left in the first half of the Bundesliga season, Ketbus will meet them one by one, after these six rounds, Ketbus will be beaten back to the original shape, back to the position that matches their identity and strength! β
Schroeder looked at the gloating Hasel, and he shrugged: "Man, I respect your opinion, how it turned out, let's see the result of this game." β
At this time, the players of both teams have finished their pre-game warm-up and have all returned to the locker room.
In the away team's dressing room, Schalke 04 coach Sloanka had a serious expression, looked around at the players present, and only spoke for a long time.
"My biggest request to you in this game is that you must not take the enemy lightly! Who are our opponents? They are not last season's relegation team, they are the top of the Bundesliga this season! The Bundesliga started with eight consecutive wins, and this result is definitely not explained by luck! β
"We are still playing away from home in this game and we want you to start the game steadily and not press rashly and do not pretend to be the runners-up of the Bundesliga last season. Past honors don't mean anything, current achievements are everything! β
'We're probably going to have a lot of problems in this game, but apart from the balance at both ends of the pitch, you have to take advantage of set-pieces. We've scored more than half of our goals from set-pieces in the Bundesliga so far this season, and that's going to be our biggest weapon. β
The Schalke 04 players nodded their heads, but some of the younger players were unimpressed.
It's just a relegation team that occasionally gains momentum, are we really afraid of them?
Meanwhile, in the home team's locker room, Yun Sheng said the same thing as Sloanka.
'Our biggest weapon in this game was set-pieces. Schalke 04's three lines are world-class, they have almost no holes in defence and attack, and it's not easy for us to score goals in the open game. But that's fine, we've been practising set-pieces for the last few days. β
"Shaojiayi, Sauer, I arranged Adriano to take a free kick in this game, the tactical cooperation in the past few days, you have a very tacit understanding, I hope you can take out the state on the training ground, and deal with the group of guys at Schalke 04!"
The pre-match preparation time was over, and the players of both teams walked out of the locker room goal.
In the tunnel of the players, the players of both sides meet.
Last season's Cottage team did not have a single German international and the players of the two teams did not have any personal relationship, but this is different now.
Germany's No. 3 goalkeeper Hildebrand has some friendship with the other party's young goalkeeper Neuer, and the two have a good personal relationship. Hildebrand is very interested in and admires the young goalkeeper, and he is also secretly competing with the goalkeeper star.
Maybe in a few years, we will be the biggest competitors.
Seeing Hildebrand, Neuer walked over and shook hands amicably: "Man, long time no see, you've been in Cottages lately, right?" β
Hildebrand nodded: "All the best, today's game, well, good luck." β
"Good luck too."
The two didn't say much, but the moment they turned around, Neuer seemed to see a hint of sympathy in Hildebrand's eyes.
What do you mean? Do you think we're going to lose today?
Joke! We were runners-up in the Bundesliga last season!
The German players in the Schalke 04 team, such as Kulanyi, Asamoah, Westermann and others, greeted Sauer with great respect.
"Melmut, it's a pleasure to see you back. You represent an era in German football and it is an honour to be able to play with you again. β
"You are very good, and the future belongs to you young people." Sauer said with a smile.
"That's right, the future belongs to us, although you are experienced, but you are old, we will not show mercy in this game!"
Sauer frowned, and turned to look at the person who spoke.
I saw a young man who looked like ET looking at him arrogantly.
Sauer was unhappy in his heart, but his face did not show it, and he nodded with a calm expression: "Who should I be so loud, it turns out that you are a young star called 'German Zidane' by the media, it seems that you are very confident." In that case, let's see you on the field! β
Sauer looked at him, and finally said coldly: "Young man, good luck in today's game." β
