Ender's Football

the next day.

Uwensburg U19 games are played on the center court not far from the Uwensburg training base.

Before the stadium was changed to the center court, it had another name, the Strauss Stadium.

The reason why it was named Strauss is not to commemorate the famous musician, but to an ordinary construction worker-he is a fan of the Uwensburg team. Because of his accidental death, the club and citizens kept his name, that is, Strauss, as the name of the stadium in memory of him.

But around 1998, a company called "Central Petrochemical" took a fancy to the naming rights of the Strauss Stadium, bought the naming rights at a price that now looks very cheap, and changed the Strauss Stadium into a center. court.

The Uwensburg fans who felt that their feelings had been hurt were of course furious. They not only called on the fans to silence 10 minutes before the start of the game, expressing their protest with silence, but also held up banners to scold the management for "for A little profit loses one's soul."

However, such protests did not last long. Soon, because the fans fell out with the club, the overall atmosphere of the Uwensburg team was affected. They began to lose consecutively and were once relegated to the Bundesliga relegation zone. Almost going to play in the third division next season.

The head coach turned gray overnight, and the captain took the initiative to stand up and communicate with the fans. In the end, the club changed the name of the training base to the Strauss Training Base as a concession to the fans, so that everyone stopped the protests. Uwensborg was finally able to qualify for relegation.

Later, the Uwensburg team received a large amount of sponsorship from energy companies in Baden-Württemberg, coupled with some low-interest loans with preferential policies, the club built another large professional football stadium with complete facilities that can accommodate 3 fans I came to watch it, and since then moved out of the center court, and it has gradually evolved into the venue for Uwensburg youth team games.

However, the Uwensburg fans have not completely forgotten Strauss. So far, in the 33rd minute of every home game, the fans will all stand up and sing "Strauss, you see our ball." Are you on the team?"Generation after generation, this singing has continued among fans old and young, gradually forming a team tradition.

When An De heard this song for the first time, he felt extremely shocked. After learning the story behind the song, he had a deep admiration for the fan culture.Because of this story, he began to like the center court, and every day he was excited to grow taller and play games as soon as possible.

Today he brought three children, Helena, Demi and Yale, to the center court to watch the game.

Helena and Demi are both wearing simple T-shirts. They are not fans, they just want to be brought out to play by Ender. Yael is fully armed. The children wear Uwensburg uniforms with their own names on them. The Winsberg Kids Club badge and a kid's binoculars around his neck make him look very professional.

The U19 game did not charge tickets. When Ander led them in, the fans had already sparsely filled half of the stands. The professional fans club had already started waving team flags and singing together in a corner of the south stand.

Yael liked their corner so much, hugged Ender's thigh, and said coquettishly: "Brother! Brother! I want to go there too! I want to be with the fans!"

Ender was helpless: "Yel, you can't go there, there are too many people over there, I'm afraid the three of you will be scattered by the crowd. And remember that we made an appointment to protect Helena and Demi together? You go, Who will protect them?"

After his set, Yael immediately patted his chest: "Then I won't go! I want to be with Lianna and Demi!"

Ender complained in his heart that the kid sounded weird, but on the surface he patted him on the shoulder friendly: "Yes, that's it."

The stand they chose was not full of people, of course, because Ender considered keeping all three children within his field of vision.

Therefore, when the game started, the stands here seemed to have no atmosphere. Yael lay on the railing, looking enviously at the scene of fans singing and shouting together in the opposite south stand, his eyes full of yearning.

Ander didn't pay much attention to the factors in the stands. After the game started, he focused on the field -- to be precise, it was the Bayern U19 penalty area.

There, Sighard, with short blonde hair and a red jersey, stood in front of the goal.

Yael bluffed for a long time without getting a response. Looking back, two little girls, Helena and Demi, were sitting on the court seats sharing a box of strawberry ice cream that Ender bought for them just now, completely ignoring his own voice. , while Brother Ander, who understood him best, was staring at a certain direction on the court.

Yale followed Ender's gaze and found that he was looking at the opponent's goalkeeper.

Yael:?Is there anything nice about this?

The little boy asked Ander directly: "Brother, why are you looking at the goalkeeper opposite? What's wrong with him?"

"It's nothing." Ender came back to his senses, he smiled at Yael, and did not share what he knew about Sieghard with this bluffing little hamster, but said, "I was just observing Bayern The U19 formation, their positions are very clear, it is a very standard 4231."

Today, when the diversification trend of football formations is common, Bayern Munich is one of the few giants that has always insisted on using the 4231 formation, and even their youth team also used this formation today.

The 4231 formation has high requirements on the two wings and the attacking midfielder. Today, in the starting lineup of the opponent's U19, the player who plays the attacking midfielder is Lucas Sauer, who has attracted much attention from the media, and the two wings are also very popular during this period. Genius boy.Ender observed them for a while, and finally turned his gaze back to Sigurhard.

The blond goalkeeper frequently plays the ball in the backcourt. He is very involved and very active. He is not the traditional goalkeeper who only works in the front area of ​​the goal. Instead, he is very similar to his idol Noy Er, the range of control is very large, and he is more willing to devote energy to commanding the defense line.

One of the most typical clips occurred in the 30th minute of the game.

At this point in the game, Uwensburg’s U19 striker had a wonderful one-handed chance due to a mistake in the midfield. Dribbled the ball and went straight to the penalty area.

Sieghard chose to take the initiative to attack. While observing his own and the opponent's players who were desperately rushing over from the corner of his eye, he shoveled the ball to the front right in front of the opponent's striker.There, his teammate had just come running and was the only one capable of holding the ball in that area.

The stands where the Uwensburg fan organization is located are all sighing.

Yell sighed too.

"Why not pick a pass? Or dribble past the keeper? He should have avoided it."

Ander also plays in the frontcourt on the football field, so he can see all this clearly: "It is difficult for a person to stop immediately when accelerating," he gave Yael as an example, "It's like a car that needs to brake. It is difficult for a fast car to brake immediately, so when a striker sprints with the ball at high speed, it is often difficult to force himself to make some fancy moves immediately, so the goalkeeper must choose a good angle and grasp the timing when attacking , pay attention to the movement of the striker when dribbling the ball, and hit the ball quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, and choose a suitable landing point... just now the opponent's goalkeeper has chosen a good position, and the timing of the attack is just right. The defender also tacitly blocked the far corner of the goal..."

Yael was confused by his long speech, the little boy listened to it in a daze, and after a while he choked out a sentence: "You...why do you keep praising the goalkeeper on the opposite side!"

"Is there?" Ender didn't feel it at all, "I didn't particularly praise him, I was just telling the truth."
