Funkel Favre, the newly appointed head coach of the Cologne team, wanted to use the FA Cup victory to give the team a new look. Unfortunately, he ran into the biggest dark horse of the German Cup this season, Tübingen Youth, who ranked in the top fifteen of both sides.
Minutes after the balance was broken, the visiting team soon scored two goals in a row.
Funkel looked distressed and helpless at the dejected Cologne team members, who were scoring goals! Ten consecutive games without scoring, what an embarrassing and terrible number, it means that the whole team has lost confidence in scoring goals.
I have lost my heart. With more than ten rounds left in the league, I have already given up my status in the Bundesliga.
He glanced at the energetic young man from Tübingen again. He didn't dare to use foul tactics. Originally, the delicate professional teams and amateur teams were afraid that the other side would use foul tactics when playing games, let alone the Bundesliga players. Even if he arranged
It's hard to say whether the players can actually implement such tactics, because the opponent can also use fouling or even injury tactics. At least the opponent has enough old guys who don't care about their career prospects, and it's a rich club that can afford fines.
Funkel knows that the Cologne team's board of directors are all impatient. If this game is lost to the opponent by a large score, it means that his coaching time has been shortened by a large amount. Why is this amateur team so powerful? Is it the Chinese one?
Coach’s reason?
The handsome Mr. Jinbos felt the gaze of the other coach and turned around with a friendly smile. Funkel quickly smiled and nodded. No matter what the Chinese smile meant, it was better than irritating him now.
In fact, Xu Genbao had no intention of defeating the Cologne team. He had the same idea as Wang Ai. He treated these proud German footballers carefully, not causing unnecessary trouble and not doing unnecessary things. So in the second half, Tubingen
The two youth forwards did not get many opportunities. It was only in the 60th minute that Cologne's Rigobert Song scored a goal to bring the score back to 1:2. They became more active and finally
Before the end, Bai Guanghai sealed the victory with a header.
The Cologne team, accustomed to losing, left the field dejected amidst the cheers of the Lions Stadium. They have been experiencing this scene for two consecutive months. Cologne team received three yellow cards in the whole game. Fortunately, they were afraid of the disheveled players.
Favre's ferocity and no red card action made Xu Genbao breathe a sigh of relief.
The German Football Association is still cleaner than the Chinese Football Association. At least they did not imply that Tübingen's opponents were trying to destroy Tübingen. Xu Genbao was grateful to the German Football Association in his heart for being able to make football this clean.
3:1! Tuebingen Youth defeated FC Cologne without any dispute. At the end of the game, the referee Marcus, who shook hands with the players of both sides, said with emotion, this is really an amazing team. It seems that this year’s German Cup final
The ratings are guaranteed, but I don’t know if this team can break through the curse of German amateur teams and truly win the gold cup that has been increased by five centimeters! Because the first German Cup was held in 1935.
It was too long and there were too many winning teams, so there was not enough room for engraving on the Gold Cup, and it had to be raised five centimeters two years ago.
RTL TV has a live host today, a luxurious lineup of two TV live room hosts. Different from the playful smile of the live host Zoneborn, the live room host can be a little more serious. At the beginning of the second half, the Cologne team scored a
After the goal, everyone celebrated for Cologne. This was Cologne's first goal in more than two months, even though it was in the German Cup.
"It doesn't matter even if the Cologne team loses this game, we broke the goal drought!" The host who is a die-hard fan is about to shed tears. Look at how loyal our Cologne fans are and how humble our demands are:
Ma, can’t you get into one of ten games? Just like readers would say to a writer of a popular work who suddenly disappeared: We are very patient, we don’t ask for three or two updates a day, that’s too luxurious, dear
Ah, isn’t it okay to update weekly?
The two hosts then went on to criticize Cologne's club and board of directors for completely forgetting to praise the Tübingen youth.
However, unlike the biased RTL TV station, other German media cannot completely ignore the protagonist of this game. Compared with the Cologne team that has lost their fighting spirit, the young people of Tübingen are full of vigor, aggressiveness, and skillful tactical coordination.
The scene was elegant and smooth. Cologne didn't even have the ability to struggle throughout the game and was completely controlled by the home team's rhythm.
Therefore, Germany's largest newspaper "Bild" published the next day published an article "Will the history of German football be made by the Chinese?"
The article focuses on analyzing the process and results of this game, and clearly points out that this amateur team, which is funded by the Chinese, employs Chinese coaches and Chinese main players, is already capable of easily defeating the Bundesliga team, even if this team
They are in poor condition and are suffering from a bad cold! The article believes that the arrival of the Chinese has transformed this team and at the same time given it a mysterious atmosphere. This team has already obtained the ticket to enter Berlin, so two months later
At the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, will it defeat the winner of Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich in one fell swoop and create new history in the German Cup? An amateur team winning the German Cup is the first step in the German Cup's 60-year history
Never before!
With the easy victory of Tübingen Youth, many media opinions before the game began to reverse. The three Bundesliga teams that Tübingen Youth had defeated before were either not focused on the game, had a half-main lineup, or simply gave up on the German Cup. However,
This game is different from Cologne. Even though the entire Cologne team is in the Bundesliga relegation zone, Cologne went all out in this game. In this way, Tübingen Youth won the first four rounds of the German Cup.
, has defeated four Bundesliga teams in a row! Some tabloids even exclaimed: This is a Bundesliga team buried in the amateur league!
"Süddeutsche Zeitung" also changed its tone slightly, but still targeted Beckenbauer, pointing out that the endless foreign players in the league are not only seizing German players' playing opportunities, but also seizing their honors. Call on Beckenbauer
Seoul has introduced strict restrictions, not only stipulating that professional leagues can only play three foreign players at the same time in each game, but the scope of restrictions should also be extended to amateur leagues.
Should we liberalize the number of foreign players or strictly limit the number of foreign players? The German media started a quarrel, but threw the Tübingen youth aside. If this was a pure German team, they would have been praised by them long ago.
.In terms of media integrity, the German media is a little better than the British media. This is just because the Germans are inherently serious. The lower limit is bottomless.
However, German Football Association Chairman Beckenbauer quickly responded: "I think the next reform target of the German Football Association is not to limit the number of foreign players, but to expand the number of foreign players. If our young German players cannot compete with foreign players,
If they win the competition, then even if they form the German team, they will not be able to defeat their opponents in international competitions. Only by creating an opportunity for our players to come into contact with high-level foreign players, and compete with them head-on, and compete from an early age, can our national team members be better
Good things grow up.”
For this reason, Beckenbauer also specially praised the young people of Tübingen.
