The Bundesliga is here.

In the five major leagues in Europe, the Bundesliga and the Premier League are the earliest games. Often the first round will be arranged before mid-August. The first match day of the new season is also arranged on August 12.

At this point in the summer transfer window period, there is almost a month left. Many team lineups are still uncertain. The preparation for the game will often appear to be hasty, but because the time for the start of the game is early, the preparation for media reports is also early. On the day before the first round of the match, "Picture News" has already released an analysis of the eighteen Bundesliga teams.

Among the German football media, the most authoritative and influential player is "Kicker", followed by "Picture News". Every year, "Picture News" reviews the Bundesliga. Their review and analysis are often predictive. The effect also helps ordinary fans understand each team better and see the league situation in the fresh season.

In the "Photo" review, St. Pauli's optimistic ranking is the 14th place among all teams. As a newly promoted horse, and as a second grade German Bundesliga, a newly promoted qualified horse can rank 10th The four are already pretty good.

This position also surpasses Wolfsburg, Cottbus, Mönchengladbach and Frankfurt.

The reason why St. Pauli is optimistic about the high ranking is also the performance in the Hamburg Derby. "Photo" believes that the performance of St. Pauli in the new season depends largely on the performance of the team's core shooter Zhen Shaolong.

The upgrade of St. Pauli is directly related to Zhen Shaolong. It was Zhen Shaolong ’s continuous goals that enabled St. Pauli to quickly improve his performance. Recently, he finally qualified for the Bundesliga with the second Bundesliga.

Now it ’s the same with the Bundesliga.

In the summer transfer, St. Pauli focused on supplementing the back line. The midfield and frontcourt adjustments are not large. Zhen Shaolong can perform well. The goal is guaranteed, and the score will not be too bad, otherwise the frontcourt efficiency will become the biggest problem. .

In addition, "Photo" also made a ranking of the team's performance expectations.

On this list, St. Pauli's ranking is high-fifth place, with the support of a huge fan base, St. Pauli's return to the Bundesliga performance is also highly anticipated by fans. The only one higher than St. Pauli's ranking is Bayern. Munich, Werder Bremen, Stuttgart and Schalke 04, together with the city's rival enemy Hamburg, are only ranked eighth.

St. Pauli is so anticipated by fans, the performance of the first round will naturally be expected.

The opponent in the first round was Leverkusen.

St. Pauli is an away game. On the day of the game, the whole team took a bus and came to Leverkusen early to enter the Bayer Arena.

————

Leverkusen attaches great importance to the game. Their head coach, Skibbe, is known for training young players in German football. Since he withdrew from football because of injuries, Skibbe has been working as a coach.

Despite his rich football expertise as a football coach, fans have never stopped doubting him.

In 2002, Skipbe served as the assistant coach of the German national team and won the second place in the World Cup with the German team. But it is also this runner that reminds people of Leverkusen's title of "Millennium Second". Not yet capable of returning the team to its peak.

With so many doubts, Skibbe's coaching was difficult, but in the second half of last season, fans saw Skibbe's offensive coaching philosophy. Leverkusen scored 33 points in the 17 rounds. The record, at the same time, Leverkusen's offensive football, also made the fans very excited.

In the face of the new season, Squibb knew that his first job was to get a good start to the league. Otherwise, it was like last season. The start was not good. Later, even if he played well, it would be difficult to get a good ranking.

So the first game is very important.

Many people in the team believe that St. Pauli is a good opponent, but Skippel does not think so, because St. Pauli has defeated Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich and Hamburg. In addition to the core shooter Zhen Shaolong, other The performance of the players is also remarkable.

Especially their defense!

This is the point!

Skippel watched videos of several games in a row, especially the recent St. Pauli game against Hamburg. The opponent ’s goal on the 13th Zhen Shaolong was definitely the highlight, but St. Pauli ’s defense was undoubtedly very successful, otherwise the striker No matter how many goals are scored, it will not catch up with the goal in the backcourt.

Leverkusen maintains an offensive style. It is not easy to break the goal of St. Pauli, but on the offensive side, it depends on the player's play, and defense needs more attention.

"Paul, you have to pay special attention to the thirteenth number of the other party." Skibbey specifically advised Paul Fryer, and also reminded everyone by the way, "Be sure to pay attention to the thirteenth, you should have read his report Very good young striker. His efficiency is too high. "

"Some reports say that he will not necessarily adapt to the Bundesliga, but no matter how he performs, we must pay attention to it. Remember: try not to let him shoot from a close range!"

"In addition, when defending, he often fights. His body is weak, so he should pay attention to the position ..."

Skippel carefully explained how to defend. He studied Zhen Shaolong for a long time. The above conclusions are drawn to let the players know this and the defense will be better.

Fryer was reminded in a key way, and nodded energetically and smiled, "Relax, sir! I will take good care of him!"

The game started.

Bayer Arena is overcrowded early, and any fan will look forward to the first game of the new season, and many Leverkusen fans are rushing to buy tickets.

When the game officially started, the fans in the surrounding stands also started to cheer for the team. Most of them were the cry of the mainstream Leverkusen fans. St. Pauli was a little depressed. The first game of the season was the away game. The feeling is not so good.

Zhen Shaolong also got a lot of cheering.

Leverkusen fans are cheering for the team. More than 3,000 visiting St. Pauli fans, many of them chanted the slogan ‘Zhen, cheer’.

This makes other teammates envious.

Zhen Shaolong was a little excited, one was the support of the fans, and the other was the first Bundesliga game, how to say it was the first game, the first time he landed in the Bundesliga, he hoped to perform well.

At the same time, there is confidence to perform well.

However, the defensive player of Leverkusen next to him is trying to stop his performance. Every time Zhen Shaolong wants to touch the ball, he needs to fight hard with the opponent.

This is not Zhen Shaolong's style.

In fact, even with the "Golden Body" skill, Zhen Shaolong is unwilling to be a "desperate Sanlang". He has his own specific style, is used to running constantly, and uses the normal rhythm to play, rather than never endlessly playing with his opponent Of physical confrontation.

That's a foolish approach, and you may miss your chance to score.

"Smart people play with their minds." Zhen Shaolong clearly knows that his ability to fight is poor. He always thinks so. He despise the opponent's stupid use of his body. .

For example this time.

When Bor kicked the ball over, Zhen Shaolong slowed down to stop the ball, and the opponent next to him suddenly bumped into it, and secretly pulled his jersey with small movements.

Zhen Shaolong immediately lost his center of gravity and fell towards the grass. He fell down several times in a row, and he realized the limitation of "Golden Body": the pain of the body falling on the grass, there is no way to feed back to the opponent!

This is a loss!

"Who, who is afraid of who!" When once again attacked by the opponent's small action, the referee has not yet awarded a foul, Zhen Shaolong was really angry.

In the next game, when he found the opponent posting, he wouldn't even dodge.

Bump it! Who is afraid of who!

once.

twice.

Zhen Shaolong and Fryer fell into a hand-to-hand mode, and each time St Pauli attacked, the two were almost sticking together.

In the head-on confrontation, Zhen Shaolong will be in the absolute disadvantage. From the outside world, the situation is also the same. He was knocked down by Freyer twice. The muscles of the two are not in the same grade, but the disadvantage is not affected. Zhen Shaolong continued to work hard, he still collided with Flair again and again.

Fryer's experience is more abundant, and he constantly exerts small defensive moves, such as using elbows and waists to contact, or seemingly inadvertently, with his knees against the thighs.

These small movements will not hurt people, but pain is inevitable.

Zhen Shaolong turned a blind eye to Fryer's small movements, but only engaged in head-on confrontation. He never performed small movements because he was not experienced enough to grasp the standard of the referee's law enforcement.

When the game reached the seventeenth minute, the TV commentator couldn't help but sigh, "Zhen Shaolong was really hard in the game, he didn't know how many times he fell. Flair was also warned twice , He will probably converge a little, otherwise the referee will be playing ... "

Zhen Shaolong got the sympathy of the fans ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Approaching the stand of St. Pauli fans, you can hear the screams of a large group of female fans--

"Friel, die!"

"Don't dare to knock Zhen down, don't let me meet you on the street!"

"Asshole! Damn Friel!"

"..."

Not only St. Pauli fans but even Leverkusen fans have some sympathy for Zhen Shaolong. Their players ‘bully’ the opponents. It seems that they should feel refreshed. The opponent ’s unyielding fighting spirit is also worth moving.

Fryer was made into the 'advantage' side, but in fact, he didn't feel the 'advantage' at all, but actually felt pain all over his body.

He was looking at Zhen Shaolong grinningly, "Why is this guy's bone so hard!"

"It hurts to hit his muscles ..."

"Elbow hurts, knee hurts ..."

Fryer was a little scared. He hurt his teeth and grinned. The other party seemed to be okay and still alive, as if looking forward to the next time ...

No way!

Friel read the information expressed in the opponent's eyes, and suddenly felt more painful. When he saw the opponent's player and passed the ball again, he endured the pain and ran to confront it, but found that the opponent voluntarily came over, He subconsciously ... dodged!

This dodge immediately weakened the momentum.

At the front of the penalty area, Zhen Shaolong successfully received the ball and found that Fryer hadn't hit it. I felt a little regret, but found that he could easily take the ball to the left and even have time to make adjustments.

He glanced at the goal.

Then he chose to shoot without hesitation, the football rushed to the left corner of the goal quickly against the turf.

Goalkeeper Bout reacted for the first time, but he felt a deep sense of powerlessness when he shot into the goal against the post ...
