On November 22, in the 14th round of the 2002-03 Bundesliga season, Tübingen Youth faced St. Pauli Football Team at home.
This is a game without any suspense. St. Pauli is currently ranked 17th among 18 teams and is deep in the relegation zone. However, the Tübingen youth are already looking forward to the Bundesliga. They even won by difference after the last round of games.
The ball advantage overwhelms Cologne, which has 27 points, and temporarily ranks first in the Bundesliga! This is despite the lack of major generals in the first ten rounds of games and being deeply dragged down. With the return of the three frontcourt players, and St. Pauli
The gap between them will become wider and wider.
The only thing that attracts attention from the outside world is that both teams have Chinese players. Although Aachen also has Xie Hui, and his position is very stable, Xie Hui did not go to South Korea to participate in the World Cup after all. Whether in Germany or China, his popularity is as good as that of Yang Chen.
are different.
Before Wang Ai joined the national team, Yang Chen was the number one star in the Chinese team. Even though Wang Ai has now "robbed" a lot of his light, he is still a candidate that must be considered in the forward line of the national team.
Unfortunately, things have not gone smoothly for Yang Chen in recent years. In Frankfurt's best season, he had the support of the midfielder and the trust of the coach. Subsequently, the coach changed, teammates transferred, and Yang Chen's playing time and performance
The space has been greatly reduced. When the national team went to the World Cup for the first time, Yang Chen was frequently called up and Frankfurt's dangerous relegation last season made him exhausted. Shortly after the World Cup, he transferred to St. Pauli - this can
The team that promised him a starting position and a high salary is also a relegation team. It just changed from the Bundesliga to the Bundesliga.
Last April, Wang Ai went to Weinheim with the team to participate in the Baden Cup. He also took a trip to Frankfurt and met the famous "Chinese Rocket". At that time, Yang Chen was still a well-known star in the Bundesliga, and Wang Ai was just a
A small player on a small team in a state league. The two sides are like the full moon and stars in the sky.
But a year and a half later, when the two sides met again, Wang Ai's team even overwhelmed Eintracht Frankfurt, which had been relegated last season, while Yang Chen went round and round and entered the relegation zone of the Bundesliga.
team. If this continues, the identities of the two will be reversed by next season.
How can this not make people sigh! The Tubingen youth and Wang Ai are just like the rising sun, and the 28-year-old Yang Chen has indeed reached the later stage of his career.
"The sea has changed!"
On the evening of the 21st, Yang Chen, who came to Tübingen first to meet with Wang Ai and other compatriots, had dinner in Wang Ai and Ozil’s yard, looked at the dark Ammer River under the night, and sighed.
One sentence.
One and a half years later, Wang Ai took the initiative to go to Frankfurt to meet him, a bit asking for support. But just one and a half years later, it was him who took the initiative, although he was reluctant. But the club was in such a dangerous situation.
, it’s not easy for him to refuse.
Before coming, head coach Uwe analyzed with him that the Tübingen youth team must be very tired from the frequent double or even triple matches a week during this period, and they will go to Spain to challenge Real Betis in four days. They were so successful before.
Under this situation, the opposing club will definitely pay more attention to the UEFA Cup... In short, you should go there.
As both professional players, Wang Ai knew the purpose of Yang Chen's visit. In Tübingen, five Chinese players collectively treated Yang Chen to a meal. After chatting enough, Yang Chen went to stay in a hotel in the small town of Tübingen.
One night. The next morning, Tübingen Youth Club announced the lineup for this round of matches. Wang Ai, Bai Guanghai, Ozil, Per Mertesacker, and Luo Tongliang were collectively substituted.
This inevitably disappointed many people, including China Central Television, which was ready to broadcast live.
I originally wanted to watch a good show in which Yang Chen singled out many Chinese foreign aid players in Tübingen. However, the planner Zhang Bin also understood that based on the comprehensive strength of the two teams, if the young people from Tübingen went all out, they would probably become Yang Chen.
Chen was beaten by a group of Chinese compatriots...
That would be too disharmonious.
At 15:00 sharp, five games of the 14th round of the Bundesliga 2 started at the same time. The focus of the game was the Chinese derby between Tübingen Youth and St. Pauli and the two-strong battle between Cologne and Freiburg.
The current ranking of the standings is Tübingen Youth, Cologne with 27 points, Freiburg with 26 points, and Frankfurt with 25 points. Direct dialogue between these four teams will often have an irreversible impact on the final ranking. Some people are tight
If you follow, someone will inevitably fall off the horse.
Yang Chen was very excited about this game.
Although he and his head coach both know that the Tubingen youth cannot let go for the sake of the players' personal friendship, and more importantly, to prepare for the UEFA Cup. But the lion is taking a nap, why don't you quickly earn some points? Thirteen rounds have passed
Now, St. Pauli has only 2 wins and 2 draws, with 8 points.
The Chinese fans who turned on the TV at ten o'clock in the evening were in a dilemma faced with this "Chinese Civil War". Of course they wanted to support Yang Chen, but the young people of Tübingen were reluctant to let go. Every time Yang Chen and Chen Yang or Zhang
Yonghai's dialogue will make them both happy and entangled. At the same time, the "war song" of the Tubingen youth also attracted their attention. It is really that this song is too rhythmic and oppressive.
At the end of the first half, St. Pauli temporarily led 1:0, and the scorer was Yang Chen.
In the second half, Xu Genbao replaced Bai Guanghai. The result was that Bai Guanghai was not ambiguous at all, scoring two goals in half an hour to overtake the score.
Yang Chen had nothing to do about this. Bai Guanghai, who scored 18 goals in 13 league rounds, was more efficient than he was at his peak. Last season, Bielefeld's Wiheny Jarek won the top scorer in the Bundesliga.
At that time, he only scored 18 goals in the entire season!
Fortunately, Tübingen did not release Wang Ai in the end. Wang Ai sat on the bench chatting with Ozil with a relaxed expression throughout the game. After scoring two goals on the field, Lao Bai also relaxed a lot, and finally
At the end of the game, Yang Chen assisted Alexander Meyer and scored the equalizing goal.
The 2:2 draw was a happy ending. The Tübingen youth also gained a valuable point. Although they were overtaken by the defeated Cologne team with 30 points, they still led Frankfurt with 28 points and a goal difference advantage.
Freiburg, which was defeated after a strong dialogue, ranked fourth with 26 points. This allowed the Tübingen youth to remain in the first group.
Yang Chen's St. Pauli got a rare point, thus with an "advantage" of 9 points and a negative 14 goal difference, ahead of Eintracht Braunschweig, which was also 9 points but lost a 16 goal difference, thus falling to the bottom.
Third, it was difficult to see the dawn of relegation.
Chinese broadcasters and Chinese fans are also very satisfied to see the "Chinese Derby" shake hands and make peace.
After the game, Yang Chen hurriedly said hello and returned to Hamburg with the team. But Wang Ai will preside over an acceptance inspection.
