Start from 1999

Chapter 53
On May 5, the 13nd round of the Bundesliga kicked off.Borussia Mönchengladbach face Hamburg at home.

Like Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Hamburg team also has a glorious history. If the 70s was the hegemony between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern, then the 80s was the history of blood and tears between Hamburg and Bayern. Hamburg even won the European Champions Cup in the 82-83 season. The team has never been relegated in the Bundesliga.

But in the 90s, the strength of the Hamburg team was difficult to compete for the honor of the league. Now it is only 4 points higher than Borussia Mönchengladbach in the standings, ranking seventh.

And Borussia Mönchengladbach has 42 points and is now ranked ninth. The two teams can be said to be more than enough than the top, and they have nothing to desire.

But under such circumstances, the two teams opened up and started a confrontation.

Wonderful shots on the field continued to appear, feasting the eyes of fans on both sides.

In the 8th minute, Nick stole the ball from the center and then made a long pass to Deisler on the right, and Deisler volleyed from a small angle without stopping the ball, and the ball hit the post and popped out.

And 2 minutes later, the Hamburg team also hit the crossbar with a header in the penalty area in the counterattack.

In the 15th minute, Deisler's pass allowed Polster to go directly to the meeting, but Polster's shot was bravely saved by the Hamburg goalkeeper.

In the 22nd minute, Borussia Mönchengladbach defender Klinkert made a handball foul in the penalty area. The Hamburg team won a penalty kick. The Swedish striker Klaassen made it overnight and broke the balance on the field. The Hamburg team took the lead and led 0:1.

After falling behind, Nick began to attack frequently. Nick, who was nourished by Diane Kruger, was in a brave state. In the 29th minute, facing the siege and interception of three Hamburg defenders, Nick still forcibly hit the goal on the penalty area line.

The score at the end of the half was 1:1. After the second half began, the home fans found that Borussia Mönchengladbach had changed three players in a row. The youth team's Nossa, Sinclair and Gooden represented the first team for the first time.

In this way, the average age of the players on the field of Borussia Mönchengladbach is only 21.8 years old, and it has become a young guard.

The three young players who appeared on the stage seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, desperately trying to express themselves in front of Karl.

The situation on the field was immediately controlled by Borussia Mönchengladbach. In terms of physical strength, these little guys in Borussia Mönchengladbach are much better than the Hamburg team. Coupled with their hard work and willingness to run, Borussia Mönchengladbach has more and more opportunities.

In the 49th minute, Sinclair made an assist from the side to the left side of the penalty area of ​​the Hamburg team, and then passed back to the front of the penalty area. Deisler flashed a shot and rewritten the score to 2:1.

Just when the Hamburg team was pressing hard to equalize the score, Borussia Mönchengladbach's counterattack tore apart the Hamburg team's defense again. Substitute striker Nossa received a precise overhead pass from Deisler and went solo to rewrite the score to 3:1 again.
Faced with such a situation, Nick also began to take a leisurely walk in the backcourt. The victory and defeat were already divided, and the Hamburg team had no fighting spirit. In the end, Borussia Mönchengladbach defeated the Hamburg team 3:1 at home, raising their team's unbeaten record to 13 games.

When interviewed by reporters after the game, coach Carl talked about the rejuvenation of the team, claiming that Borussia Mönchengladbach's youth training has achieved remarkable results, and next season, the team will use a large number of young players.

Indeed, Borussia Mönchengladbach has tasted the sweetness from the youth team this season. Nick, Voronen, and Dex have all shown their Bundesliga strength, and now there are a few more. With the original Deisler, the rejuvenation of Borussia Gladbach has enough conditions to implement.

The more exciting the league gets to the end, in the championship battle, the two championship teams almost make people laugh out loud.

The battle between Bayern Munich and Nuremberg was a veritable end-to-end battle, but everyone was blinded by the titanium alloy dog ​​eyes!
Nuremberg, who had no hope of relegation, defeated Bayern Munich by 2 goals at home.Iceland striker Helgusen scored a goal in the second half, which made Bayern's big names want to cry without tears.

From time to time live scores are broadcast to another venue: MSV Stadium.

The Leverkusen players saw the opportunity to close the point gap. As long as they seize the opportunity to beat the home team Duisburg, Leverkusen will be able to catch up with Bayern.

But Duisburg's iron barrel formation is too tight, and Tofting is worthy of the word "butcher". Under his leadership, Duisburg's defense line is really watertight, allowing Kirsten, Sergio, Emerson and other big-name players to return without success time and time again.

At the end of 90 minutes, both sides went home with a duck egg. Although Leverkusen further shortened the point gap with Bayern, the 1 point is meaningless. Now Leverkusen is passive. The last two rounds must be won to win the championship, while Bayern only needs 4 points to be proud of the 98-99 season.

It can be said that the two championship teams fell into a tussle. The unpopularity of the Bundesliga has made fans and the media see the fun of football. Now no one is guaranteed to win the championship, and the next game will be more exciting. Maybe in the final round of the Bayer Arena, that game will definitely be a life-and-death duel.

This round of the relegation battle was equally exciting. Frankfurt beat Dortmund, which was ranked fourth at home, 2-0. Yang Chen of China fully carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, and ran desperately in Dortmund's backcourt. In the 54th and 87th minutes, Yang Chen assisted Fjortoft and Schneider twice to score goals, which made Wald's home team fans shout his name. After one season, Yang Chen has successfully conquered the hearts of Frankfurt fans, with 9 goals and 8 assists. For a Bundesliga rookie, this is a pretty good result.

The failed Dortmund is gradually moving away from the Champions League qualification zone, and now they are 5 points behind Hertha Berlin.

Bremen, another relegation team, defeated 3 Munich 1:1860 in an away game. After falling into the relegation zone, Bremen seemed to have found the key to victory, and Schaff seemed to be lucky. Among the three goals, two were scored by Munich 3 players. This has also become the focus of doubts from the major media after the game.

Freiburg also defeated Stuttgart 1:0 in the away game, tightly biting Frankfurt in the score.

Bochum relied on Fryer's two goals to beat Wolfsburg 2-0 at home, but it seems that this is a belated victory, and it is difficult for Bochum to grasp their own destiny.

5月21日，98－99赛季第33轮的比赛到了，无欲无求的门兴格拉德巴赫终于终止了自己不败的记录，他们在客场1:3不敌不莱梅。

In this game, Karl was obviously testing the formation. The three players of Nossa started the game, and Nick left after only halftime. Borussia Mönchengladbach still got a few chances to score goals, but the pressure of the home team's relegation forced them to show stronger combat effectiveness.

The precious 3 points allowed Bremen to surpass the defeated Frankfurt and Freiburg by 2 points in this round. In the last round, they only need to draw to avoid relegation.

Both Frankfurt and Freiburg lost this round. Frankfurt lost 0:2 away to Schalke 04, while Freiburg lost 0:2 to Hertha Berlin at home. Hertha Berlin also completely locked the qualification for the European Champions Cup next season.Frankfurt and Freiburg will have to fight for relegation in the final round.The two teams have the same points, and it is very likely that the goal difference will be compared in the final round to decide who can stay in the Bundesliga.

Nick does know the ending of Frankfurt this season, and now he feels a little sympathy for Freiburg, but history may not necessarily come true, what if it changes because of the arrival of himself as a time traveler?
This is entirely possible, because his arrival has changed the pattern of the championship. Isn't Bayern, who won the championship early this season with a huge advantage, still tightly entangled with Leverkusen?

However, Bayern finally won this round of the league. They defeated Bochum 4:2 at home and sent their opponents back to the second division.

Although the Bochum team only had a theoretical hope of relegation, they still broke out with strong combat effectiveness. Fryer broke out and captured the Munich Olympic Stadium in the 25th and 29th minutes of the first half, making Bochum fans think that a miracle was about to happen.

But the comeback Effenberg led the Bayern soldiers to launch a Jedi counterattack. Salihamidzic scored four goals in the 40th minute, Elber in the 55th minute, Jankel in the 80th minute, and Jeremys in the 89th minute.

Bayern's iron blood is undoubtedly withdrawn at this moment, which also makes Leverkusen players have to smile wryly. Leverkusen did not fall behind this round, defeating Wolfsburg 1-0 with veteran Kirsten's goal in the away game.

Sure enough, the two teams kept the suspense until the last round. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it depends on the final matchup at the Bayer Arena.
