I Just Can Score

The Bundesliga is here.

Among the five major European leagues, the Bundesliga and the Premier League are the first to start. Often the first round is scheduled before mid-August, and the first match day of the new season is also scheduled for August 12.

At this point in time, there is still nearly a month left in the summer transfer window period, and many teams' lineups are still uncertain, and the preparations for the game often appear to be hasty, but because the start time of the game is early, the preparations for media reports are also early. , The day before the first round match day, Bild has published an analysis of the 18 Bundesliga teams.

Among the German football media, the most authoritative and influential is Kicker, followed by Bild. Every year, Bild will comment on the Bundesliga. Their analysis of comments can often be predictive. As a result, it also helps ordinary fans to understand each team better and to see the league situation of the fresh season.

In the comments of Bild, St. Pauli's favored ranking is the fourteenth among all teams. As a newly promoted horse and second in the Bundesliga Second Division, the newly promoted horse qualified for promotion can rank tenth. Four is pretty good.

This ranking also surpasses Wolfsburg, Cottbus, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Frankfurt.

The reason why St. Pauli is expected to be ranked high is also the performance in the Hamburg Derby. Bild believes that St. Pauli's performance in the new season largely depends on the performance of the team's core striker Zhen Shaolong.

The promotion of St. Pauli was directly related to Zhen Shaolong. It was Zhen Shaolong's continuous goals that allowed St. Pauli to improve his performance quickly, and finally qualified for the Bundesliga as the second place in the Bundesliga.

Now it's the same in the Bundesliga.

During the summer transfer, St. Pauli focused on supplementing the back line. The adjustment of the center and front field is not big. Zhen Shaolong can perform well, and the goals are guaranteed. The results will definitely not be too bad, otherwise the efficiency of the front field will become the biggest problem .

In addition, Bild also ranked the team's performance expectations.

On this list, St. Pauli's ranking is high-fifth. With the support of a huge fan base, St. Pauli's return to the Bundesliga is also highly anticipated by fans. Only Bayern ranks higher than St. Pauli Munich, Werder Bremen, Stuttgart and Schalke 04, as well as city rivals Hamburg, only rank eighth.

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

The opponent in the first round is Leverkusen.

St. Pauli was playing an away game. On the day of the game, the whole team took a bus to Leverkusen early and entered the Bayer Arena.

————

Leverkusen attaches great importance to the game. Their head coach Skibe is famous for training young players in German football. After quitting football due to injuries, Skibe has been working as a coach.

Although as a football coach, Skibe has a wealth of football expertise, but fans have never stopped doubting him.

In 2002, Skibe served as the assistant coach of the German national team and won the runner-up in the World Cup with the German team. It does not yet have the ability to bring the team back to the top.

With so many doubts, Skibe's coaching is full of difficulties, but in the second half of last season, fans saw Skibe's offensive coaching philosophy. Leverkusen scored 33 brilliant points in 17 rounds At the same time, Leverkusen's offensive football also makes the fans very excited.

Facing the new season, Skibe knows that the first task is to get off to a good start in the league. Otherwise, it will be like last season, if the start is not good, and no matter how good they play later, it will be difficult to get a good ranking.

So the first game is very important.

Many people in the team think that St. Pauli is an easy opponent to deal with, but Skibe doesn't think so, because St. Pauli has defeated Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich and Hamburg successively. Except for the core striker Zhen Shaolong, the others The performance of the players is also remarkable.

Especially their defense!

This is the point!

Skibe watched videos of several games in a row, especially the most recent match between St. Pauli and Hamburg. The goal of the opponent's No. 13 Zhen Shaolong must be the highlight, but St. Pauli's defense is undoubtedly very successful, otherwise the striker No matter how many goals you score, you will not catch up with the goals conceded in the backcourt.

Leverkusen maintains an offensive style, and it is not easy to break through St. Pauli's goal, but in terms of offense, it depends on the performance of the players, and more attention needs to be paid to the defense.

Paul, you have to pay special attention to the other party's No. 13. Skibey specifically told Paul Fryer, and also reminded everyone, Be sure to pay attention to this No. 13, you should have read his report, Excellent young striker. His efficiency is too high.

There are some reports that he may not adapt to the Bundesliga, but we must pay attention to his specific performance. Remember one thing: try not to let him shoot from close range!

In addition, when defending, fight more. His body is weak, and he should pay attention to his running position...

Skibe explained in detail how to defend. He has studied Zhen Shaolong for a long time. The above are the conclusions he has drawn. Let the players know this, and the defense will be better.

After being reminded emphatically, Fryer nodded and smiled energetically, Don't worry, sir! I will 'take care' of him!

The game begins.

The Bayer Arena was overcrowded early on, and any fan would look forward to the first game of the new season. Many Leverkusen fans rushed to buy tickets.

When the game officially started, the fans around the stands also began to cheer for the team excitedly. Most of them were the shouts of the mainstream Leverkusen fans. St. Pauli was a little depressed. The first game of the season, it was the away game. The feeling is not very good.

Zhen Shaolong also got a lot of cheers.

Leverkusen fans were all cheering for the team. More than 3,000 St. Pauli fans of the visiting team shouted the slogan Zhen, come on.

This made 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 also the confidence to perform well.

However, Leverkusen's defensive players next to him are desperately 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 not willing to be a Desperate Saburo. He has his own specific style, is used to running constantly, and uses normal rhythms to compete, rather than endlessly fighting with opponents physical confrontation.

That's stupid, maybe you'll miss a chance to score.

Smart people use their brains to compete. Zhen Shaolong knows that his ability to fight is poor, and he has always thought so. He despises the opponent's stupidity of using his body, but the opponent doesn't care about the continuous head-to-head fouls, which also makes Zhen Shaolong full of anger .

Like this time.

When Boer kicked the ball over, Zhen Shaolong slowed down to stop the ball, and the opponent next to him suddenly bumped into him, and secretly used small movements to pull his jersey.

Zhen Shaolong immediately lost his center of gravity and fell towards the grass. After several times in a row, he realized the limitations of Golden Body: the pain of falling on the grass cannot be fed back to the opponent!

This is a loss!

What the hell, who is afraid of whom! Zhen Shaolong was really angry when he was attacked by the opponent's tricks again and the referee hadn't called a foul.

In the next match, when he found that the opponent was coming, he didn't even dodge.

Hit it! Who is afraid of whom!

once.

twice.

Zhen Shaolong and Fryer fell into hand-to-hand combat mode, and every time St. Pauli attacked, the two were almost stuck together.

In a frontal confrontation, Zhen Shaolong will be at an absolute disadvantage. From the outside world, the situation is also the same. He was knocked down by Fryer twice. The muscles of the two are not at the same level, but being at a disadvantage does not affect Zhen Shaolong continued to work hard, and he still collided with Fryer again and again.

Fryer has more experience, and he keeps making small defensive moves, such as making contact with his elbow and waist, or seemingly inadvertently, pressing his knee against the root of his thigh.

Little things like these don't hurt, but pain is inevitable.

Zhen Shaolong turned a blind eye to Fryer's small moves, and just engaged in direct confrontation. He never used small moves, because he was not experienced enough to grasp the scale of the referee's law enforcement.

In the 17th minute of the game, the TV commentator couldn't help sighing, Zhen Shaolong really worked hard in the game, he didn't know how many times he fell down. Fryer was also warned twice , he will probably restrain his movements a little, otherwise the referee will play a card...

Zhen Shaolong got the sympathy of the fans.

When you approach the St. Pauli fans stand, you can hear the screams of a large group of female fans--

Fryer, go to hell!

How dare you knock Zhen down, don't let me run into you on the street!

Bastard! Damn Fryer!

...

Not only the St. Pauli fans, but even the Leverkusen fans have a little sympathy for Zhen Shaolong. It seems that their own players 'bullying' the opponent's players should feel refreshing, and the opponent's unyielding fighting spirit is also worth touching.

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

He was grinning at Zhen Shaolong, Why is this guy's bones so hard!

It hurts to hit his muscles...

Elbows hurt too, knees hurt too...

Fryer was a little scared, he grinned his teeth in pain, the other person seemed to be okay, alive and well, as if looking forward to the next time...

No way!

Fryer understood the message expressed in the opponent's eyes, and immediately felt more pain all over his body. When he saw the opponent's player pass the ball over again, he endured the pain and ran to fight, but found that the opponent came over on his own initiative. He subconsciously carried out... dodging!

This dodge immediately weakened the momentum.

At the front of the penalty area, Zhen Shaolong successfully received the ball and found that Fryer did not hit it. He felt a little regretful, but found that he could easily take the ball one step to the left, and even had time to make adjustments.

He glanced at the goal.

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

Goalkeeper Bute reacted immediately, but he felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the shot that was close to the post and rushed into the goal...
