The 39-year-old referee Franz lowered his head and looked at his watch. The pointer slowly moved to the 19.45 position. The players of both sides had already stood firm on the court. Schalke 04 won the right to kick off.
The audience was paying attention to him and the whistle hanging around his neck.
Franz smiled and blew the whistle, and the game began!
Along with the rising noise, the two energetic and high-spirited teams forgot about the hustle and bustle of the stadium, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle began.
Schalke 04 is ranked fifth in the Bundesliga this year. The Bundesliga has ended. There is only one last game left this season. The fifth ranking determines that Schalke 04 is not eligible for the European Champions Cup. Fortunately, it can enter the UEFA Cup.
.So whether or not to win the German Cup will not help Schalke 04 to enter the European battlefield, but the huge rewards of the championship and the honor of the team drive them to move forward. If they win it again this year, it will be two consecutive championships! And the youth of Tubinggen
It also ended its league journey this season early and will be promoted to the Bundesliga 2 next season. Although the outside world still attributes this game to a game between a professional team and an amateur team, the young people of Tübingen have already regarded themselves as a professional team.
. Defeating the opponent and entering the European arena has become the only pursuit of the whole team.
Therefore, the game was very intense from the beginning. Schalke 04 seemed to be taken aback by the strong attacking desire of the Tübingen youth. This professional team did not pay attention to Schalke 04, a powerful Bundesliga team, and let it go.
In the attack, Schalke 04 frequently instigated threats with its sharp and agile frontcourt. In the fierce exchange between the two sides, Schalke 04 was a little confused for a while. Not only was the offensive blocked, but it was even gradually suppressed in its own half.
Even if the issuing time is only five minutes, this is still a very unfavorable situation and a situation that makes Schalke 04 very embarrassed. In the past, professional teams overturned mostly due to absent-mindedness, but this year's Bundesliga has ended for a week.
Schalke also made careful preparations for this game and did not underestimate the opponent who was completely different from last year. However, when the game actually started, it was discovered that they did not pay enough attention to it.
The 49-year-old Schalke coach Stevens is also a very experienced coach. When he shook hands with the opponent's Mr. Kimbers before the game, he felt that this Chinese man was not simple. According to what his friend in the German Football Association told Bei
Ken Ball's review: A master of football tactics from afar.
Stevens took a deep breath and was not in a hurry to mobilize his troops. Similar amateur teams would have a period of excitement when they encountered professional teams. They were challenging powerful enemies and lacked experience, so this kind of excitement could not last long. As a strong player,
The team coach naturally does not need to be nervous, as long as he gets through this period. The experienced Schalke 04 players have enough experience to handle this situation.
However, today's game did not go as he and many people expected. Compared with the tall Schalke players, the Tübingen youth's frontcourt was too "slim", but with his deft movements and
The extremely fast ball speed avoids frequent physical confrontations and instead constantly mobilizes Schalke 04's defense. Mertesacker, who can only be called bulky, is as unafraid of physical confrontations as a tank.
The situation of the game was gradually controlled by the youth of Tuebingen. Although the veteran Schalke 04 defense ensured that no goals were conceded with caution and ferocity, it was obvious that the overall situation fell into passivity.
Even the gentlemen in the VIP box were attracted by the game. After 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes, the game situation still did not improve.
Stevens frowned more and more. Based on his judgment of amateur teams, such teams often have average physical fitness in leagues with poor competition. If professional teams can carry out high-intensity attacks for 15 minutes, then amateur teams
The team can often only hold on for less than 10 minutes, but now... She keenly discovered that although the Tübingen young players were sweating a lot, their expressions were very relaxed. It seemed that they had just completed their warm-up? Look at their own defense.
, but it was obvious that they were tired due to the high-intensity and high-density attacks of the defensive opponent, and the eyes of some players began to lose focus!
not good!
Stevens suddenly stood up on the coaching bench, but before he could go to the sideline and shout to increase the players' attention, the opponent's giant midfielder suddenly intercepted the pass from the left back Martland.
When Martland was eager to counterattack, the giant got rid of the interception with a light movement that was difficult for such a tall player to do. With the wide field of vision brought by his super high altitude, he noticed the Schalke goal.
Former hidden killer.
Big feet to the penalty area!
At this time, Schalke 04 had just reacted from conceding a goal, and the formation preparing to attack was about to retract hard.
Bai Guanghai! This unspectacular and even somewhat ugly guy has never given up looking for opportunities in front of Schalke. When he discovered that the big man suddenly used his special skills to make a frontal interception, he keenly sensed the opportunity to score. The two were thirty years apart.
Several meters away, his eyes met with those of several players. The tacit understanding formed through a year of playing together made Bai Guanghai subconsciously run, jump, and then pass the ball in place!
"Bang!" A powerful header went past goalkeeper Oliver Lake's arm and into the goal!
The Tübingen youth took the lead! The Berlin Olympiastadion, which had been silent for a few seconds, was awakened by the screams of Tübingen fans. Immediately, the noise swept through the auditorium of 70,000 people. The audience and the live broadcast cameras were all
The fans watching the game in Germany fell into an inexplicable silence in the past 15 minutes. Because no matter how brilliant an amateur team has achieved, after all, it is in a low-level league, and the German Cup has been used for decades.
The history of the German professional league has proved that the establishment of the German professional league is very effective. The professional team may be negligent for a while, but it will never lose to the amateur team in the competition. Therefore, no one really thinks that the young people of Tubingen can create history. This team
A young team from almost the University of Tübingen was able to defeat the veteran Schalke 04.
However, the fifteen-minute offensive and defensive situation made the audience's hearts hang. They were not all Schalke fans. They just felt that they were witnessing a great game and the birth of a new historical record.
On the one hand, they were looking forward to a Teutonic knight from the countryside challenging the royal knight and defeating him to win the king's princess. On the other hand, they were worried about self-doubt, fearing that this was just a reckless move that was rarely seen in the market.
Now, rest assured! The Tübingen youth are ahead, and they really have the possibility to defeat Schalke 04! The enthusiasm of all German fans inside and outside the stadium is burning. It has nothing to do with Schalke’s honor and disgrace, but a miracle.
