By the end of October, Tübingen Youth, a new team in the German Southern Regional League, temporarily topped the list with 8 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 26 points, while second-placed Burghausen had 6 wins and 3 draws.
2 losses, 21 points, third place Trier with 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, 20 points. Fourth place is Regensburg, 5 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, 19 points, fifth place
It's Aaron, with 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, with 17 points. Although the league is only a third of the way, the Tübingen youth has already opened up a gap between the second and fifth places in the tight queue. Interesting
What's more, the point difference between the teams in the regional league is very small. In addition to the few games, many draws also narrow the point difference between the teams. Overall, from the sixth place, the Red and White E
From Erft to Ansbach, which is ranked 17th, all the teams are closely arranged. Except for Fulda, who is ranked last, has encountered a financial crisis this year and has not won a game so far.
Ansbach has also won two games so far.
Xu Genbao carefully observed the overall strength gap between his team and his opponents, and made a major decision: attack on both fronts!
On August 24 this year, Tuebingen Youth met Hannover 96 in the first round of the German Cup. Hannover 96 wanted to go all out to rush to the Bundesliga. At the same time, they faced Tubingen Youth, an amateur team. They were just
The new team that was promoted to the regional league is theoretically two levels behind the original team, so Hannover 96 just sent out a substitute lineup to play...
As a result, the Tübingen youth was given a salary increase, and after retiring, he was given a job at the club and was motivated by a large investment in the stadium. He scored 4:1. Although Hannover 96 was eliminated from the FA Cup in the first round as a Bundesliga second team, it was somewhat surprising.
, but Hannover 96 obviously don’t want to perform in the German Cup this year. In addition, it is tradition for amateur teams to be particularly excited when playing in the German Cup. So it did not attract much attention.
Of course, Xu Genbao made this decision because the team is in a hot state and has not encountered too many challenges in the league. Among a group of regional league teams that have no desires and desires, the high-spirited young people of Tubingen are very happy.
It is a bit outstanding. If he does not go far in the German Cup, such a powerful offensive power will be wasted. Secondly, Xu Genbao takes into account the team's economic problems. Although Wang Ai's family is not short of money, the total funds that can be invested in the construction of the club
There is an upper limit. If you work part-time, you can still get an annual salary of 20 euros plus an unknown amount of bonuses. Lao Xu thinks that the club’s finances should be healthy earlier. The further you go in the German Cup, the more money you get.
The more you meet big clubs, the away ticket revenue can reach hundreds of thousands of euros. Even if the fans go to the opponent, the tickets contributed will be equally divided. Of course, there are also bonuses given by the German Football Association for each round.
There is a bonus attached to each game. For example, when Tubingen Youth unexpectedly defeated Hannover 96 in August, they received 28,000 euros. With each additional round played, the bonus almost doubled. For example, in the second round, Tubingen Youth won 28,000 euros.
Meet Wolfsburg, the prize is 50,000 euros...
For Wang Ai, who is still selling blood to play football, the money is not much, but it is "money back"! Therefore, Wang Ai is also very supportive. Huang Xin, on the other hand, considers it from the perspective of commercial development. The further he goes, the more he encounters
The greater the possibility of a strong team, the higher the chance of being broadcast live on German television. And once the Tubingen youth develop their own style, which is fast, sharp, and with a strong desire to attack, they may be able to leverage the hesitant team.

Because among the 64 teams in the German Cup, the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 account for 36 teams, plus 4 teams that were relegated from the Bundesliga 2, and the remaining 20 are amateur teams. Among them, the regional leagues currently have promotion and relegation issues with the Bundesliga 2.
That is, the top two teams promoted to the Bundesliga 2 in the previous year can play in the German Cup, and the Bundesliga 2 that has been relegated to the regional league can also play in the German Cup, which is equivalent to occupying four places in the regional league. Therefore, the fifth place in the regional leagues in the south and north
The seventh place can also participate in the German Cup. The remaining 14 places are given to the German state league champions and runners-up of the previous year. Although Germany has 16 administrative states, due to factors such as population size and football level, there are only seven groups of states.
Premier League.
Therefore, the possibility of meeting a strong team in the German Cup is very high. This is also a rare opportunity for many small teams to contact high-level teams. In order to prevent strong teams from taking the German Cup lightly, the German Football Association gives
The bonuses awarded are very generous.
Xu Genbao suggested, Wang Ai nodded, and the major development decision of the club, which Huang Xin strongly agreed with, was made at the dinner table over braised pork, beef stew, wine, etc., which was quite a joke. Ozzie was eating at the same table.
The main players like you can't think of anything else. It's good to have a ball to play. They would not be happy to be able to compete with high-level opponents earlier.
In fact, Xu Genbao and Wang Ai were able to decide to fight on two fronts. On the surface, it was quite risky. After dinner, Leonie grabbed Wang Ai and asked: The thickness of our team's bench is too poor. The main force is only seven or eight of you, so we can attack on two fronts.
Once the game state is affected, it will be dangerous for this year's team's number one task - to enter the Bundesliga 2.
Wang Ai knocked on his chest and gradually turned into a caressing lioness paw: "Our team's bench is indeed not thick enough, but you have to see that we can relax appropriately in the regional league. Moreover, we are young and have good physical fitness.
, a two-line attack is at least theoretically possible. In the past half month, we have played double games a week and our results are not bad. It is really before the German Cup. We can rest a few main players. To be honest, now our
It’s not good to have too much attacking power, scoring 5 or 6 goals in every game is a bit of a waste.”
However, just after the decision of the Tübingen youth was made, there were twists and turns in the league competition: On November 3, in the 12th round of the German Southern Division, Tübingen played against vfr Mannheim away from home. As a result, the whole team's condition was...
Not good, Wang Ai barely scored a long shot in the 36th minute of the second half, and defeated the opponent 1:0. On November 10, in the 13th round, Tübingen Youth faced Bayern Munich’s second team at home, Ozil
They had a cold, and Wang Ai, who was infected because they lived together, was also uncomfortable. Xu Genbao had no choice but to put the two of them on the bench. In fact, after the sudden drop in temperature in southern Germany, the whole team's health was not very good. This game was held in
After playing with their opponents for 90 minutes without a major general, they ended up with a goalless draw. Then on November 17, in the 14th round, Tübingen Youth faced the weak team of Elvisberg in an away game, relying on Bai Guanghai's two
Grab the points and beat the opponent 2:0. Then on November 24th, when they faced the Stuttgart Kickers at home, the Tübingen Youth, who were still in average condition, although fully loaded, still did not return to their best form. The final game was
In the last ten minutes, Wang Ai passed and shot, and the score ended at 3:1.
After establishing a two-pronged attack strategy, the Tübingen youth were like magic, and the situation continued. Although from the data point of view, the entire game in November remained undefeated, with three wins and one draw, continuing the advantage of the previous stage.
It even expanded, but the Tübingen youths were reluctant to win, and they no longer had the ease and ease of the previous stage.
After a small victory over Stuttgart Kickers, on Wednesday, November 28, in the second round of the German Cup, Tübingen Youth will go north to Lower Saxony in central Germany. The opponent in this round is the mid-range Bundesliga team Wolfsburg!
