I Just Can Score

The German League Cup, the full name is the German Football Association League Cup, is a pre-season opening tournament initiated by the German Football Association. It was created in 1997 and has only been held to the tenth time.

With such a short history and a clear imitation of other league Super Cups, one can only imagine the impact it can have.

The German League Cup has no influence outside of Germany.

Even in Germany, only the relevant teams care about the game, but the League Cup is of a commercial nature. Winning the championship can not only get the trophy, but also the prize money of the event, which is still a bit attractive.

The teams participating in the Bundesliga Cup are the top four in the Bundesliga last season, the champions of the Bundesliga Bundesliga, and the German Cup champions. If the German Cup champions are also the top four in the league, the remaining positions will be filled by the fifth place in the league. The participating teams this year are Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Hamburg, Schalke 04, Bochum and St. Pauli.

The first round of the match, which can be called the qualifying match, is the second place in the Bundesliga against the Bundesliga champion, and the third place in the Bundesliga against the fourth place. At the same time get the advantage of sitting at home.

St. Pauli was the champion of the German Cup last season and has the qualifications to directly participate in the semi-finals. When they were about to participate, the two qualifying matches had already ended. The results of the match were--

Werder Bremen beat Bochum 3-0.

Hamburg beat Schalke 04 4-2 on penalties.

St. Pauli's opponent is Hamburg.

This match attracted a lot of attention to the semi-finals of the League Cup, because St. Pauli and Hamburg are both Hamburg teams.

St. Pauli was in the lower league before, while Hamburg had been fighting in the Bundesliga. The two sides had almost no chance to meet. Now that St. Pauli has been promoted to the Bundesliga, the Hamburg Derby will definitely be staged in the new season, but no one thought that the Hamburg Derby would come so soon.

Even if it's just the German League Cup, the two sides will definitely do their best.

When the League Cup semi-final is approaching, the city of Hamburg is full of tension. Many fans wear jerseys supporting the team. possible.

The Hamburg Police Department had to step up its security forces.

From two days before the game, you can see police cars patrolling 24 hours a day, and the security forces on all streets have been significantly strengthened.

At the same time, the St. Pauli team also felt the dignified atmosphere.

One is that because the new season is approaching, many players in the team have never participated in the Bundesliga, so they will naturally feel nervous and excited.

The League Cup can be said to be the beginning of the new season.

In addition, the Hamburg Derby is also the key.

Before the team regarded the League Cup as a warm-up, if they can win the opponent, they will win, and it doesn’t matter if they lose. Of course, in fact, most players don’t think that the team has a chance to win, because the participating teams, except the Bundesliga Except for the champion Bochum, they are all top clubs in Germany, so their main purpose of participating is to warm up.

It's different now.

The first game is the derby in Hamburg. Even if you want to compete with the city, you must fight with all your strength.

Bergman also reminded the players in a timely manner that they must pay attention to the upcoming game, It's just the League Cup, but our opponent is Hamburg. There has been no Hamburg Derby for four years. Every fan will look forward to it. Some of you may not understand That kind of plot, but for us it's more important to beat Hamburg than to beat Bayern.

On the other hand, Hamburg is also actively preparing for the battle.

The meaning of the League Cup to St. Pauli is actually not much different from that of Hamburg. It is just a pre-season warm-up venue, but the semi-final became the Hamburg Derby, which immediately gave the game a special meaning.

Hamburg coach Thomas Doll knows the significance of the Hamburg Derby very well.

Because of his player days, he once played for Hamburg.

Winning the Hamburg Derby can gather the support of the fans. Even if the team's performance is worse, it is acceptable. On the contrary, if the team's performance is better, losing the Hamburg Derby will still make the fans dissatisfied.

The fans are the support of the club.

It is still very important for the fans to be satisfied with the results of the club. Even if there is no conflict between Hamburg and St. Pauli in private, they must fight like life and death enemies on the field.

At the same time, Dole also clearly needs to express his disdain for St. Pauli.

This attitude is very important.

As long as he can show his disdain for St. Pauli and lead the team to beat St. Pauli, he will be able to gain great support from the fans.

The day before the game, Dole showed a disdainful attitude. When a reporter asked about the Hamburg Derby, Dole pretended to be surprised and said, Our opponent is St. Pauli? Can they also participate in the League Cup?

Anyone can see that Dole did it on purpose.

But there is no doubt that the support media in Hamburg wanted to see this attitude. The reporter who asked the question immediately went along and explained that St. Pauli was the German Cup champion last season. The attitude said, St. Pauli is a good team. We are rivals in the same city, but I think the team should look further. We will pay more attention to the results of the match between Bayern and Werder Bremen.

St. Pauli was naturally ignored.

St. Pauli supported the media and was immediately moved. They continued to ask questions about St. Pauli, and they should also talk about the core forward Zhen Shaolong. When Dole heard Zhen Shaolong's name, he made a simple comment, A while ago, I saw that Videos of kicking crossbars. He'll be a busker and make enough money.

Thomas Dole's speech in the interview was to put St. Pauli on the ground and step on it.

St. Pauli supporters were outraged.

Bergman immediately responded to the media, If we win the game, let's see what he can say. Hamburg ranked third last season. They have reasons to be proud, but I believe they will definitely win in the game. lesson!

Bergmann's ruthless words are a bit of an afterthought, and St. Pauli lost to Hamburg in the war of words.

Dole is still a little proud.

Before the press conference started, Dole had already memorized his lines, and even the lines were not thought of by him, but provided by the press officer of the Hamburg Club.

He just said it.

This will undoubtedly increase his support in the hearts of Hamburg fans.

When Dole was proud of getting more support from fans, he didn't know that he had annoyed opponents who shouldn't have been provoked.

Zhen Shaolong had the feeling of being shot while lying down.

The League Cup of the new season is about to start, and the first game is the vigorous Hamburg Derby. As a St. Pauli player, the only thing you should do is to try your best in the game.

Zhen Shaolong didn't care too much about what happened.

That is a matter at the club level, and the head coach should also be concerned about the war of words. He never thought that the war of words would affect him. After seeing the news brought by Kruse, Dole commented that he was a street performer. I can make money', I suddenly felt very annoyed.

What the hell, did I provoke you?

If a beautiful relative of yours falls in love with me, it's definitely not my fault... Zhen Shaolong cursed depressedly, and then heard the long-lost system prompt.

Hint: There are new system tasks triggered.

The head coach of Hamburg, Thomas Doll, mocked the host, and the host should give a strong counterattack. What better way to reflect the host's outstanding footwork than kicking a football in the opponent's face?

In the upcoming Hamburg derby, the hosts need to make three intimate touches between the football and Thomas Doll's cheek.

(Note: During the execution of the task, the host obtains the special skill Golden Right Foot.

Golden Right Foot: As far as the power reaches, it must hit. The ball kicked by the host with his right foot will automatically correct the route and hit the designated position. )

Task reward: Endurance index point.

Zhen Shaolong read the mission description carefully, and based on the information in his mind, he was completely stunned by the powerful effect of the skill.

That's okay too?

Golden Right Foot is really a golden right foot!

As far as the strength is, it will definitely hit...With this kind of super bug effect, if the opponent kicks any ball, just raise your hand and surrender!

Zhen Shaolong's mentality suddenly changed from anger to sympathy for the entire Hamburg team. The Hamburg team never expected that the result was doomed before the game started. Their loss to St. Pauli was not because of lack of strength, but because of the head coach Dole a sentence.

Of course.

The task is what matters.

The Golden Right Foot skill is a temporary effect, and its purpose is also to allow him to successfully hit Dole's cheek.

three times in a row...

Zhen Shaolong didn't even dare to imagine that kind of scene. At that time, he would be considered as attacking the opponent's coach with a football, and thus be sent off by the referee? It's good to be sent off by the referee. The game is a derby, and the mentality of the fans will definitely explode. Angry Hamburg fans...

right!

Fortunately!

The game venue is at Neal Field!
