Chapter 65
Half an hour passed quickly, and under the leadership of the referee, the starting players of both sides entered the court.

The home commentator is enthusiastically introducing the starting list of the home team.

Stuttgart's starting lineup today is: goalkeeper Hildebrand, Pardo, Mera, Del Pierre, Tascer on the back line, Hitzelsberger and Khedira in the midfield, Silva and Hilbert in the left and right midfielders, and Gomez and Cacao in the double forwards.

And Mainz is still their fixed starting lineup, but when the players of both sides took their positions on the field, many people found that although Mainz still started today after the start, the formation was a little different from the previous game. Specially playing against each other, many media reporters on the scene seemed to have seen the end of the Mainz game. Some even made up the headline of the news in their minds, "Klopp is arrogant and swallows the consequences."

With the referee's whistle and the home fans booing, Mainz's first Bundesliga game began.

No one thought that the Mainz players who kicked off first would put forward a lot of pressure after the whistle sounded. There were only three defenders of the team behind the center circle, and the others were all on the other side of the center circle. The quick counterattack left Stuttgart with no chance to counterattack at all. Another point is that Stuttgart is a team that focuses on layer-by-layer advancement.

This style of play must have been planned before the game, which means that Mainz made targeted arrangements before the start of the game, while Stuttgart was not prepared enough.

With these offsets, after the game started, Stuttgart was rarely suppressed at home. This situation stunned the people watching the game, especially those reporters who had just imagined that Mainz would lose. They all shouted in their hearts: "Crazy, this is really crazy."

After realizing something was wrong at the beginning, Sammer has been anxiously standing on the sidelines and walking around. He never thought that Mainz would adopt such a style of play, and this style of play is really designed for the current weakness of Stuttgart. Looking at Klopp on the other side, Sammer can't wait to go up and bite this bastard to death, it's too insidious!
The Stuttgart players on the field did not expect such a situation at all, so they behaved very flustered, and gradually revealed fatal flaws under such panic.

In the 9th minute of the game, Mainz ushered in the best opportunity since the start of the game.

Chen Xiao and Bonovic switched positions and then took the ball from the left. After hitting the wall with Troshovsky in the frontcourt, Chen Xiao took the ball and cut inside to the middle. This continuous change of positions has completely messed up Stuttgart's backcourt marking defense. With this chaos, Chen Xiao's opportunity came. Chen Xiao, who was holding the ball in the midfield, was about 35 meters away from the goal. At this moment, Chen Xiao was standing in front of Stuttgart's left back Tasce. Facing Tasce, Chen Xiao directly used his speed to overpower him. Tasce, who was forced to come to the center, couldn't adapt to the defense in the middle. In a panic, he was directly passed by Chen Xiao, and he couldn't even use the foul.

Chen Xiao, who got rid of his opponent, saw that he was only about 30 meters away from the goal. He adjusted his steps slightly. Chen Xiao directly pumped his right foot towards the football, and saw the football flying towards the goal of Stuttgart like lightning. Although Hildebrand had already guarded against Chen Xiao’s shot, this shot did not mean that you could prevent it. Hildebrand, who was flying across the air, stretched out his right hand very hard. Net nest.

In the 11th minute of the game, Mainz used Chen Xiao's long-range shot to lead the home team Stuttgart 1-0.

The Daisler Stadium, which was full of boos, fell silent the moment the football hit the net. All the fans of the home team couldn't believe their eyes.

If it weren't for the color of the jersey, the fans would have thought it was Stuttgart who scored the goal.

When the football crashed into the net, Chen Xiao directly spread his arms and made a sliding tackle to the few Mainz fans on the field. Other Mainz players on the field also rushed to Chen Xiao to celebrate the goal.

Watching Mainz's arrogant celebration on the field, the Stuttgart fans immediately booed and roared louder than before.

Klopp on the sidelines also hugged Hoffman behind him after Chen Xiao scored.

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him, tell them to keep pressing them, and try to get another one, as long as they get one more, they will die," Klopp said to Hoffman.

"Okay, I know."

If Summer heard this conversation, he would vomit three liters of blood.

Under the intervention of the referee, the game restarted. As Klopp expected, after the restart, the scene on the Stuttgart field became even more chaotic. Some of the Stuttgart players on the field wanted to attack and some wanted to defend.

In the 17th minute of the game, Chen Xiao made a cross from the right, and Dopoulos overpowered the central defender with a header, but was rejected by the crossbar.

This shot made Sammer, who was anxious on the sidelines, even more uncomfortable. He also knew that the only way to solve the current troubles was to substitute, but now the game has only started less than 20 minutes, and now the substitution will definitely have to bear the responsibility of tactical mistakes after the game. When Sammer was still worrying about gains and losses, Mainz made a comeback again.
