"Dear viewers, hello everyone, welcome to German Sports TV. I am the host Schroeder, and sitting next to me is today's commentator Hesl. Today's game is the final of the twelfth round of the Bundesliga One match, Cottbus plays Schalke 04 at home.”
"In previous seasons, this game would not have attracted too much attention. After all, the past records and strengths of the two teams are completely different, but this season is different. Kurt, who started with eight consecutive victories, Booth, although they have suffered three consecutive draws recently, they are still ranked first in the Bundesliga and are the dark horse of this season."
"And Schalke 04 was the Bundesliga runner-up last season and also performed well this season, ranking third in the league. Yesterday, Bayern won a big victory, leading Cottbus by one point with one more game, and regained the It has reached the top of the Bundesliga. And Schalke 04 is only three points behind Bayern, which has one more game. The outcome of this game will directly determine the top rankings of the Bundesliga."
Schroeder looked at the list of players in his hand: "For Cottbus today, their starting lineup is a 4-4-2 formation. The goalkeeper Hildebrand, the defenders from left to right are Waksmut, Kukielka, Da Silva and Ipsa, the four midfielders from left to right are Shao Jiayi, Li Tie, Sauer and Yu Hai, the forwards are Adriano and Cassano. Seven substitutes The players are: Tremel, Fick, Cvetanovic, Lyle Hill, Rost, Sahin and Tretko.”
"Today Cottbus still played with all the main players, which shows their determination to win at home. Although Schalke 04 is strong, I think Cottbus will definitely cause trouble to their opponents at home. "
Hesl took over: "Man, my opinion is exactly the opposite to yours. I think Cottbus will definitely suffer a big defeat in this game! Who is their opponent? It's Schalke 04! It's the Bundesliga The team ranked second only to Bayern in the odds list! There is no doubt about their strength.”
"The reason why Cottbus has been able to perform very well this season is precisely because they have never met a strong opponent! Whether it is Bayern, Schalke 04, Werder Bremen or Hamburg, Cottbus has not been able to compete with them. They meet. There are still six games left in the first half of the Bundesliga season. Cottbus will meet them one by one. After these six rounds, Cottbus will be brought back to their original shape and return to match their identity and strength. s position!"
Schroeder looked at Hessl, who was gloating about his misfortune, and shrugged: "Man, I respect your opinion. Let's see the result of this game together."
At this time, the players from both sides had finished their pre-match warm-up and all returned to the locker room.
In the visiting team's locker room, Schalke 04 coach Slonka looked seriously, looking around at the players present, and it took him a long time to speak.
"My biggest request for you in this game is that you never underestimate the enemy! Who are our opponents? They are not the relegation team last season, they are the top of the Bundesliga this season! The Bundesliga has started with eight consecutive wins. This result It can’t be explained by luck!”
"We are still playing away from home in this game. We hope that you will start the game steadily and don't rush forward, and don't think of yourself as the Bundesliga runner-up last season. Past honors don't mean anything, current results are everything!"
"We may encounter a lot of troubles in this game. In addition to the balance between offense and defense, you must make good use of set-piece opportunities. So far in Bundesliga games this season, we have scored more than half of our goals through set-pieces. This will be our greatest weapon.”
The Schalke 04 players present nodded, but some young players seemed disapproving.
They are just a relegation team that occasionally gains momentum. Are we really afraid of them?
At the same time, in the home team's locker room, Yun Sheng actually said the same thing as Slonka.
"Our biggest weapon in this game is set pieces. Schalke 04's three lines are all world-class. They have almost no loopholes in defense or offense. It is not easy for us to score goals in open battles. But that’s okay, we’ve been practicing set pieces in the last few days.”
"Shao Jiayi, Sauer, I arranged for Adriano to take the free kick in this game. You have a tacit understanding of the tactical cooperation in the past few days. I hope you can show your state on the training ground and play hard." To deal with those Schalke 04 guys!"
The pre-match preparation time was over, and the players from both teams walked out of the locker room by goal.
In the player tunnel, players from both sides met.
There was no German international in the Cottbus team last season, and the players from the two teams had no personal relationship, but things are different now.
Germany's third goalkeeper Hildebrand has some friendship with the opponent's young goalkeeper Neuer, and the two have a good relationship in private. Hildebrand is very concerned about and appreciates this young goalkeeper. In addition, he and this rising star goalkeeper are also secretly competing with each other.
Maybe in a few years we will be the biggest competitor.
Seeing Hildebrand, Neuer walked over and shook hands in a friendly way: "Man, long time no see. You've been doing well in Cottbus lately, haven't you?"
Hildebrand nodded: "Everything is fine, today's game, well, I wish you good luck."
"Good luck to you too."
The two didn't say much, but the moment they turned around, Neuer seemed to see a hint of sympathy in Hildebrand's eyes.
What's the meaning? Do you think we will lose today?
joke! We were the Bundesliga runners-up last season!
German players Kuranyi, Asamoah, Westermann and others in the Schalke 04 team greeted Sauer with great respect.
"Melt, it's a pleasure to see you back. You represent an era of German football and it's an honor to play with you again."
"You are very good, and the future belongs to you young people." Sauer said with a smile.
"Yes, the future belongs to us. Although you are experienced, you are already old. We will not show mercy in this game!"
Sauer frowned and turned to look at the speaker.
I saw a young man who looked exactly like ET, looking at him arrogantly.
Sauer was unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. He nodded calmly: "Who did I think was so loud? It turned out to be the young star who was called 'Germany Zidane' by the media. It seems that you Very confident. In that case, let’s see you on the field!”
Sauer looked at him and finally said coldly: "Young man, I wish you good luck in today's game."
