Standard Lieutenant also played a game that ended in March (Sunday), and then played away games. From a physical point of view, Standard Lieutenant suffered more than Hamburg.
Although the "regular season" of the Belgian First Division has ended, the "playoffs" are still going on.
The name NBA is used as a metaphor so that readers who do not know the Belgian First Division have something to refer to for understanding.
There are a total of 16 teams in the Belgian First Division. The league's "regular season" has a total of 30 rounds. Every week starts on August 1st. The first round of the following January is moved to the last week of December to arrange a double-week match.
There is a two-week winter break in early January. The main race ends around March every year.
After the main match, it is only the first stage of the league, the 16th place is relegated, and the remaining 15 teams have their own competitions.
The top six teams in the "regular season" will play a "championship game", and the points of each team in the "regular season" will be halved. Then a double cycle will be held as the points of the "championship game", and the points of the regular season will be halved.
Add up and determine the winner to directly enter the Champions League.
In the group stage, the runner-up will enter the Champions League qualifying round, the third place will enter the Europa League main draw, and the fourth place will compete with the "European Qualifying Final" for a seat in the Europa League qualifying round. The fifth and sixth place in the championship will directly lose the chance to enter the Europa League.
Qualifying opportunities.
The "European Qualifying Final" is between the eight teams ranked seventh to fourteenth, divided into two groups, called the "European Qualifying Preliminaries", called Group A and Group B respectively. Each group
The four teams play a double round-robin, and the top two teams play a home and away "European Qualifying Semi-finals". The first place and the fourth place in the "Championship" compete for the last one to enter the Europa League.
Cup qualifying spots.
The 15th place in the league, the second to last place, and the second, third, and fourth place in the second league form the "promotion and relegation play-off" group. The four teams have a double cycle, and the top team is promoted to the first division.
In addition to the direct relegation of the last place in the First Division to be replaced by the champion of the Second Division, the Belgian First Division teams have competitions after the "regular season".
According to this competition system, the top six teams in Belgium actually play 40 rounds, and the density has exceeded the 38 rounds in the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga.
Standard Lieutenant's form this season is very poor. They only finished eighth in the league and were not even qualified to participate in the "Championship Tournament". In the last game that was played ahead of schedule, Standard Lieutenant defeated Chatroy, who was ranked 13th in the league, 2:0.
The competitive state is not exciting.

It was obvious that Standard Lieutenant did not do their homework well and were unprepared for Hamburg's air attack tactics to target their weak air superiority.
Not only that, Standard Daily did not even carefully analyze many Hamburg games because they did not arrange for a dedicated full-court personal defense against Chen Zhuo!
The Hamburg team used a 4-4-2 formation in this game, with Chen Zhuo appearing in the midfielder position. After one or two rounds, it was discovered that the opponent did not pay attention to Chen Zhuo, and Chen Zhuo could be ignored like in the first few Bundesliga games.
"Surviving" in such a state...
Like every encounter, both sides conducted several rounds of testing.
In the 9th minute, Chen Zhuo passed the ball 40 meters away from the goal in the middle. Berg grabbed a header and missed the goal, setting off the prelude of the "air raid operation".
In the 12th minute, Jarolim stole the ball in the midfield and passed the ball to Chen Zhuo. Chen Zhuo passed the ball 45 degrees from about 10 meters outside the penalty area. Teshe directly shook his head to attack the goal but was pushed out of the baseline by the opponent's goalkeeper. Hamburg won the corner kick.
Chen Zhuo took the corner kick. This time he did not go far and pass back to the top of the penalty area, but directly lobbed it to the front of the small penalty area. It was an air attack!
The players who grabbed the point included Berg, Tescher, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Yarolim, Ogo, and Demel. Five feint attacks ensured Berg's main attack point. Unfortunately, Berg's header was slightly higher than the crossbar...
…
Five minutes later, Hamburg made a comeback. Chen Zhuo made a long pass from the back line. Teshe headed the ball into the penalty area. Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot from a slightly positive angle was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper with his leg. Hamburg got a second corner kick.
Chen Zhuo continued to take the penalty, still using six high points to grab points in the opponent's penalty area. Under the interference of the opponent, Berg shook his head and did not attack the goal hard enough, and the opponent's goalkeeper confiscated the ball...
In the 22nd minute, Chen Zhuo stole the ball in the backcourt and headed straight for Elia. Elia quickly broke through and passed near the baseline. Ruud van Nistelrooy shot in front of him. The ball was punched out of the penalty area by the opponent's goalkeeper. Teshe headed the ball again.
Entering the penalty area, Berg's overhead kick missed the goal...
In the 25th minute, seeing that the hit rate of "Air Raid" was too poor, Chen Zhuo took the initiative to make adjustments. He stabilized the rhythm, and Yarolim and Elia slowed down the speed slightly, and then Chen Zhuo dribbled the ball and cut inside.
, Elia split the sides, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Berg and Teshe moved into the opponent's penalty area, and Yarolim provided support and protection behind Chen Zhuo.
Being triggered by the recent continuous bombing, Standard Lieutenant sent a player to interfere with Chen Zhuo, and a large number of players returned to the penalty area to prepare for air defense.
This is exactly what the Hamburg team wants the opponent to do, because the Hamburg team's offensive weapons are not only high-altitude bombing.
Dribbling the ball horizontally to avoid the angle, Chen Zhuo kicked the goal about 30 meters away from the goal!
Long-range precision-guided missiles are even more deadly weapons for the Hamburg team!
Is there any suspense? This distance is a 90% blind spot shooting rate. This time it is the upper right corner of the goal. For the standard goalkeeper, it is the upper left corner and the far corner. After several saves, Chen Zhuo has already learned about this goalkeeper.
Basic judgment, based on his jumping ability and wingspan, the probability of his hitting the ball in the far corner is very low!
The ball hit the corner, and the standard Japanese goalkeeper was half a beat too slow to save. When the ball hit the corner, his body had not fully relaxed...
The Hamburg fans started cheering the moment Chen Zhuo kicked off. They felt as if they hadn't seen Chen Zhuo score a goal for a long time and hadn't enjoyed a victory for a long time...

"It should be because the standard preparation time is too short, or maybe they are very satisfied with reaching the quarterfinals of the Europa League..." Commentator Karlheinz cheerfully criticized: "Otherwise, how could they
Maybe let Patton start in this area..."
Chen Zhuo, who scored the goal, ran to the stands and bowed to the fans. The jersey said "Thank you for your support and tolerance" in Chinese...
Originally I wanted to write it in English, but then Chen Zhuo felt that English and Chinese are both foreign languages in Germany. Instead of writing in English, it is better to take this opportunity to popularize Chinese to Hamburg fans...
Nowadays, it’s not just the Chinese fans who have the horn blasting in the stands. Hamburg fans are divided into many fan associations. The three or four largest fan associations have formed bands. The bugle has become an indispensable cheering tool for home games.
After the game resumed, the Hamburg team, which was actively fighting for the ball, still had an absolute advantage on the field, and the standard long-pass and lob tactics were extremely unsuitable.
In the 35th minute of the game, 10 minutes after Chen Zhuo's first goal, Demel made a long pass from the backcourt into the penalty area. Berg relied on his opponent and passed the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy near the penalty spot.
No matter how unprepared you are, you must focus on keeping an eye on Van Nistelrooy, otherwise it will be the same as surrendering directly.
Van Nistelrooy did not have a good chance to turn around and shoot. He protected the ball with his body and passed it back to the top of the penalty area...
Chen Zhuo, who was penetrating forward, actually had no interference within three meters of him! This position...
Chen Zhuo volleyed the ball from the top of the penalty area, still in the upper right corner of the goal. In addition to being closer, it was a copy of the previous goal!
This time the Standard goalkeeper reacted faster, but still failed to touch the ball.
In the 35th minute, Chen Zhuomei scored twice, giving Hamburg a two-goal advantage.

Borat, the Turkish goalkeeper of the Standard Team, knelt down on the goal line in frustration. He seemed to feel that the hard-won European competition had entered a countdown for him.
