Chapter 24 Rostock's relegation battle 1

[Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. I wish everyone, whether single or coupled, a happy Valentine's Day...]

-----The following is the text------

After the Rostock players finished celebrating, someone finally thought of the injured Valcke. After the team doctor entered the field, it was confirmed that Valcke's injury was not serious. Then Valcke was rushed to the hospital.

If anyone looks at the time, they will find that half an hour has passed since the end of the game...

Eventually, Valcke was sent to Hamburg Hospital.

Fortunately, Hamburg, where St. Pauli is located, is the second largest city in Germany, and the hospital level here is really not low, so although Valcke "delayed" his medical treatment, he finally received proper treatment.

But the next day, after the news came out, everyone still felt chilled.

The doctor finally confirmed that two of Valcke's ribs were broken and his internal organs were not inserted, but he needed to rest for at least 3 months.

In other words, the remaining games of this season will have nothing to do without Valcke!

You said, how embarrassing is it for Rostock, whose defense is already weak?

This bad news also made all Rostock players break away from the joy of winning the last game. However, if we were asked to choose between Valcke being injured, the team winning and Valkt being fine, or the team losing, I guess most people would still choose

Choose to win! This has nothing to do with human nature, it is a matter of professional players’ quality!

No matter how reluctant the Rostock players were to let go of Valcke, the super goalkeeper, life had to go on, and the league still continued. Seven days later, on April 4, 2010, the 29th round of the 2010 Bundesliga season began.

The top three Bundesliga 2 teams all encountered tough resistance in the 29th round. Leader Kaiserslautern was reversed by relegation team Red-White Oberhausen in an away game. After St. Pauli lost to Rostock at home, it seems that their mentality was affected.

In this game, they lost to their strong rival Dusseldorf away from home, leaving their opponents still with the hope of promotion. Augsburg, who played at home and had one extra player, only shook hands with its state rival Fürth.

Li Yi's opponent in Rostock in this round is Aachen.

There were two changes in Rostock's starting lineup and last game. One was the goalkeeper position. After more than half a season, Hanel almost sat on the bench. Finally, the clouds cleared and the moon came out, and he started again on behalf of Rostock.

In front of the goal. And our "magic striker" Li Yi, because Fink's brain was not in trouble, allowed Li Yi to appear in his most accustomed position of defensive midfielder!

Valcke's injury did not seem to affect Rostock's recent hot state. In this game, Rostock played at home and quickly took the lead.

The goal occurred in the 6th minute of the first half. After midfielder Beinrich received a direct pass from Li Yi in the midfield, he rarely showed his dribbling side.

After picking up the ball in the midfield, he dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area and shot a powerful shot that broke the opponent's goalkeeper's handle and helped Rostock take the lead early.

In the 59th minute of the game, Li Yi, who rarely assisted in the frontcourt, received a side kick from Beinrich and hoisted the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the penalty area. High center forward Cohen overwhelmed the opponent's defender and took the ball.

Pushed through the gate of Aachen. The score on the field was rewritten to 2-0.

The final score of 2-0 was maintained until midfield, and Rostock achieved an astonishing 3 consecutive victories.

The most incredible thing is that our pig's feet, Li Yitong's shoes, after this game, became the current assist king in the Bundesliga League with 8 assists!

After a week's rest, the 30th round of Bundesliga 2 begins.

Rostock will go to an away game to challenge Karlsruhe in this game. Funk, who is so comfortable with 442, has no reason to change the lineup. The starting lineup is exactly the same as the last game.

Rostock really felt like they were on drugs. Facing mid-table Karlsruhe, the game started very well.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Li Yi, who came forward with an assist, hit the ball with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area to the middle. Faced with the close pressing of the opponent's defender, high center forward Cohen stopped the ball with his chest in the small penalty area.

Beinrich stepped in and kicked the ball hard into the net without stopping, giving Rostock a 1-0 lead.

This score remained until injury time.

In the last minute of injury time, Karlsruhe had the best chance to score in the game.

Karlsruhe's midfielder Stafelt passed a long free kick from the right side of the midfield. M. Langkamp headed the ball from the left side of the penalty area. M. Matip volleyed with his right foot from 8 meters away from the goal. The ball went straight.

Run to the lower right corner of the goal and you will definitely score.

Li Yi, see Li Yi again, Li Yi turned on God mode. The moment Matip's ball just came out, a sliding tackle blocked Matip's inevitable shot from the bottom line.

Since then, both sides have made no further achievements.

In the end, Rostock defeated Karlsruhe 1-0 in an away game, ushering in its fourth consecutive league victory. Since Fink took office, the team has been getting better and better. He was smiling all day long, and his face was almost crooked with smiles.

.

He now feels that it is great to have Li Yi, and he despises his predecessor Chachhuber infinitely, feeling that he is not only bad at writing, but also has no vision.

But what he didn't expect was that the contract between Li Yi and Rostock only lasted for one year. A gentleman is good at things and not subject to them. What should Li Yi do if he doesn't renew the contract with Rostock?

Well, without further ado, the Bundesliga League is still in progress...

The 31st round of the Bundesliga 2 became the focus, because this round saw the first team to be relegated in advance and the first team to be promoted in advance!

Kaiserslautern, the leader of the Bundesliga 2, was only one step away from returning to the Bundesliga before the start of this round. The "Red Devils" reversed their archrival Bielefeld 2-1 in the finale of the 31st round. Due to ranking third

St. Pauli lost to Union Berlin in an away game, and Kaiserslautern's lead expanded to 10 points. At this point, the Red Devils Kaiserslautern became the first team to break through to the Bundesliga next season three rounds ahead of schedule in the 0910 season.

At the same time, the first relegated team this season was also produced. Red and White Allen suffered misfortune after losing 0-1 at home to Aachen.

After four consecutive victories, Rostock has quietly surpassed Red-White Allen and Koblenz in points, ranking 16th in the standings. It is only 3 points away from 15th-ranked fsv Frankfurt, and relegation is in sight.

In the 31st round of the Bundesliga 2, Rostock's home game against fsv Frankfurt has also become a key battle for Rostock's ability to avoid relegation. As the two sides are brothers on the road to relegation, a fierce battle is inevitable!

If Rostock wins this game, they will successfully surpass Frankfurt and escape the relegation zone by virtue of their goal difference; if not, then with only 3 rounds left in the league, the relegation situation is not optimistic.

In view of the importance of this game, Rostock club chairman Hoffmann, who has always been known for being stingy, actually offered a winning bonus of 300,000 euros!

If they win, on average, everyone will receive more than 10,000 euros, which is a huge sum of money for the Rostock players, and many people's annual salary is not much more than this.

[Readers, don’t think that the money is small. 300,000 euros is already a huge sum of money for a German second division team. We can’t always compete with Evergrande, Real Madrid and Shenma, can we? 】

After training the day before Friday's game, Funk called Li Yi, Beinrich and the team's current top scorer Schapzadeh to his office and started a small fire for them. What exactly did he say?

?That’s unknown. Anyway, it must be related to the competition.

At 3:30 pm on April 17, 2010, the Baltic Stadium in Rostock, which can accommodate 28,000 spectators, was full for the first time this season!

As mentioned before, Rostock's football market was originally good, but it was in the doldrums because of its poor record in the past two seasons. Now that it has finally broken out and it is a life-and-death game, the local fans in Rostock have chosen to forget the past for the time being.

Unhappy, everyone came to the stadium to support the home team, hoping that Rostock could continue the hot state of the previous games and win against Frankfurt, their direct opponent for relegation.

Speaking of Frankfurt, some fans may be familiar with it. Yang Chen’s children’s shoes are very popular in Frankfurt!

Pulling the caddy, Li Yi was third from last and walked out of the player tunnel. Behind him were only captain Hirafu and the team's spiritual leader Beinrich.

As soon as Li Yigang came on the stage, he was greeted by cheers like a tsunami from the home fans.

Li Yi, relying on his outstanding performance, successfully conquered the hearts of Rostock fans in just 10 games.

Li Yi looked up at the packed stadium and listened to the fans calling his name in unison! For the first time, he asked himself in his mind: Is playing football really just a job to make money? I found that I like this sport a little bit.

!

After a simple ceremony, the first half of the match between the two sides began.

In this game, inspired by the atmosphere at the scene, Rostock changed the defensive counterattack tactics of the previous games. Once they came up, they firmly suppressed Frankfurt in their own half and played a very impressive game.

Seeing that the team was playing well, the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene became even higher. The cheers and waves of people came one after another, and the singing never stopped for a moment.

Soon, Li Yi, who was also extremely excited about the game, brought the atmosphere to a climax!

Only 5 minutes into the game, after a series of coordination in Rostock, Li Yi received the ball on the left side of the penalty area.

Facing the defender, Li Yi did not handle the ball quickly due to poor dribbling this time. Instead, he stopped the ball in place, with his body 40cm away from the ball.

Li Yi is always analyzing the players who are defending him. He is very confident. Although his running speed may not be as fast as his opponent's, his first reaction speed will definitely not be inferior to anyone's!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another defender coming to cover Li Yi. Li Yi did not hesitate. After a feint, he passed the ball into the penalty area with his left foot. What he was looking for was because the opponent came to cover Li Yi and missed Cohen.

.

In the small penalty area, Cohen jumped high and shook his head like a beautiful lion... dd
