Chapter 433: Still Strong (Part 1)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 On March 16, the Tübingen youth rushed to Braunschweig in Lower Saxony to participate in the 25th round of the German Bundesliga. Braunschweig now has 19 points, with Karlsruhe, Mannheim, St.

Poly's three teams with 21 points are all brothers in the relegation zone. Brunswick's performance in the first few rounds of this season was okay, at least they can be ranked in the middle of the league. However, as each team gradually enters the league state, Brunswick's performance is not bad.

Braunschweig has been falling all the way, firmly controlling the relegation spot. Seeing that the league is about to end in ten rounds, and judging from the points situation, Braunschweig has not been left behind by the "comrades in difficulty", and is still following closely.

Hopes of relegation.

And the Tubingen Youth, which lost 1:2 to Liverpool, seems to be entering a downward trajectory? After all, in addition to losing two games in the first ten rounds this season, the Tubingen Youth has already won the German Cup so far.

In the UEFA Cup, the Bundesliga 2 remained undefeated for 29 games across three fronts, with 25 wins among them. But at Anfield, almost all spectators believed that the Tübingen youth were in a sluggish state throughout the game, except for the defensive order.

Apart from the rare flash of light in front of people's eyes, the most fascinating and smooth offensive was completely missing.

The German media "Kicker" also lamented: German football has really declined. There is no German team in the quarter-finals of this year's European Champions Cup. In the top 16 of the UEFA Cup, there were originally Bundesliga Stuttgart and

Hertha Berlin and Bundesliga Tübingen. Unfortunately, after two games, Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin lost one after another. In the end, only one German team was left in the quarterfinals: Tübingen.

This is a completely unexpected result, but it is also the last hope for German football to maintain face. Because of this, German politicians, football celebrities and several social groups who have been constantly attacking the "transition policy" of Tübingen youth have chosen

Shut up.

But now it's better, Tübingen has also lost!

The editorial in "Kicker" magazine gave Braunschweig the courage to challenge the leader.

After a hard-fought away game just now, the people of Tübingen must not have recovered yet, right? So under the leadership of head coach Wu Wei, Brunswick played offensive football and prepared to bite the lion hard when it was napping.

One bite.

The people of Tübingen were a little surprised by Braunschweig's sudden strong self-confidence, and then they realized: This is because we are easy to bully!

Although the loss to Liverpool in the last game did not depress the players, they are very satisfied to have reached this situation. But losing to Liverpool or KOF is excusable, but Brunswick also dares to win

Are we not taking it seriously? Tübingen, which is three games ahead of the second place in points, is no longer the team that was struggling to avoid relegation at the beginning of the season.

So, the young man from Tübingen decided to teach his opponent a lesson.

In the first half, with strong support from the front line, Lao Bai completed a hat trick.

In the second half, Lao Bai returned the favor, assisting Wang Ai and Ozil respectively, and also assisted Qu Bo at the end, scoring two hat tricks in one fell swoop.

In the final stage of the game, facing the beaten Braunschweig, Luo Tongliang scored one with an assist. In the last minute of stoppage time, Mertesacker scored the last goal of the game.

8:0! Not only was it the game with the most goals in the Bundesliga this season, Tübingen also had a rare clean sheet against its opponent.

The Tübingen youth declared their unshakable leadership position with a big victory and warned all opponents who are ready to make a move: We are still strong!

And this big victory also created greater suspense for the next home game against Liverpool. After all, although they lost the last game, it was only a small loss by one goal, and they also scored an away goal. No matter how you calculate it, you still have it.

Opportunity. What this big victory brings is that the Tubingen people have regained their form, and their smooth offensive organization still exists.

Compared with the Tubingen people's big victory, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Liverpool barely defeated Tottenham 3:2. There is a clear gap in the competitive status of the two teams.

Therefore, after the Tübingen people returned to the club after a night's rest in Braunschweig, Beckenbauer, the vice president of the German Football Association, set off from Munich and quietly visited.

The last time Beckenbauer visited was in March a year ago. At that time, the Tübingen Youth were making great progress in the German Cup as an amateur team, and the Tübingen Youth's tactical play aroused his curiosity. Then

During one visit, the people of Tubingen asked for a one-year transition period from him. Although he did not visit again from then on, because of this transition period, he became closely connected with the youth of Tubingen.

He advocates an open foreign aid policy, but there is another group of people in German football who oppose the open foreign aid policy, each with their own reasons. Therefore, the performance of Tübingen's youth has a lot to do with Beckenbauer's ideas.

Relationship. Since German teams have been eliminated from the Champions League and UEFA Cup, the Tübingen youth with a one-year transition period has become the last fig leaf of German football. Not only have the attacks against the Tübingen youth disappeared, but also

The criticism of the "transition period" granted to Beckenbauer also disappeared.

Obviously, without the "transition period" that Beckenbauer advocated, the strong pretense of German football would now be naked and open to humiliation.

After the failure of the last game, criticism of Tübingen's youth revived, and it tended to spread to Beckenbauer. Fortunately, the Tübingen people reaffirmed their strength in Braunschweig.

, Beckenbauer couldn't sit still.

He needs to come to encourage the youth of Tübingen, and he must enter the semi-finals no matter what. German football, known as one of the five major leagues, has to obtain a semi-final seat to be worthy of its status. According to UEFA rules, the league ranking will be

The number of places for each league to participate in the Champions League and UEFA Cup is determined. If the league does not perform well in the cup, the ranking will decline.

This is too dangerous. The Germans will never allow their domestic league ranking to be dropped to five places.

Therefore, Beckenbauer's visit this time is considered a matter of public and private reasons. In addition, he also needs to discuss more things with the people of Tubingen, the most concerning of which is next year's transition period.

People in Tübingen are eager to know whether Tübingen will still have a transition period next season. Tübingen's first team has developed too fast and the echelon has not caught up. If the transition period cannot be extended, most of the team's main players will be lost.

Then Tübingen youth will have to undergo painful reconstruction.

To immediately rebuild after being promoted to the Bundesliga is undoubtedly a recipe for death.

Unless Beyond Sports allocates a large amount of money to buy outstanding local German players, even if they have money, they may not be able to buy them. Wang Ai and the club clearly feel that as Tübingen youths are promoted to the Bundesliga, the trend becomes more and more obvious.

, the power of exclusion from German football is also increasing day by day.
