In this game against Karlsruhe, the final score was locked at 6-0.
With three points in hand, Cottbus continues to lead the standings.
In this round, all the top players in the league have successfully passed, and the top of the standings is still very anxious. The gap between Cottbus and second-placed Bayern is still only one point.
Adriano and Cassano's double hat tricks not only helped the team win a big victory, but also further consolidated their position on the scorer list.
Cottbus's ability to excel this season has a lot to do with the two talented forwards. Their current status and strength are definitely the strongest risk combination in the Bundesliga.
Now they are the top two Bundesliga scorers with 15 and 14 goals respectively, ahead of Toni and Klose behind them.
If this trend continues, there will really be no suspense about the Bundesliga Golden Boot this season.
In the past few seasons, the number of goals scored in the Bundesliga Golden Boot has been around 20 goals.
The Bundesliga Golden Boot in the 0506 season was Klose. In one season at Werder Bremen, he scored a total of 25 goals and was promoted to the ranks of Germany's top forwards.
The Bundesliga Golden Boot in the 0607 season was Jekas. He helped Bochum score 20 goals and is already among the best.
In the last 20 years of the Bundesliga season, Klose ranked second in the number of goals. At the top of the list was Elton in the 2004 season. He scored a total of 28 goals. That season, Elton Known as "Ball Lightning," Newton gave a phenomenal performance.
If Adriano and Cassano play the way they do, they are very likely to break the 30 league goal mark.
At the top of the Bundesliga scorer list, in addition to several top forwards, two midfielders have also scored more than 10 goals.
One of the two is Diego from Werder Bremen and the other is Van der Vaart from Hamburg.
In the fourteenth round, facing Werder Bremen led by Diego, Cottbus suffered a lot and finally got a draw.
In this final match between Cottbus and Hamburg, Van der Vaart will also be their biggest opponent.
During the training in the middle of this week, Sauer had some minor muscle injuries, which were not serious. However, to be on the safe side, Yunsheng excluded him from the starting lineup for the weekend game against Hamburg.
Young Shaheen took his place.
However, considering Shaheen's lack of experience, he and Shao Jiayi on the left have to increase the frequency of position changes. It seems that Shaheen is the organizing midfielder, but in fact the real core organizer is Shao Jiayi.
And his Chinese compatriot Li Tie was by his side to protect him.
It is worth mentioning that the opposite Hamburg team also has two national team teammates forming a midfield partner.
The offensive end is Dutchman Van der Vaart, and the defensive iron gate is Dutchman Nigel de Jong.
There is no doubt about Van der Vaart's talent. His passing and shooting are excellent, his skills are superb, and his excellent free kick skills are also his specialty. While at Ajax, he wowed the world with his "Scorpion Tail" goal. He also relied on his outstanding performance in the Bundesliga and finally got the opportunity to move to Real Madrid.
And another player, De Jong, is even more famous.
In fact, it is more accurate to say that it is notorious.
In later generations, he also had rich experience in wealthy clubs. He has left his footprints in teams such as Manchester City and AC Milan.
Especially the opponent's body has left a lot of his footprints.
While at Manchester City, he once tackled Newcastle player Ben Arfa, causing the opponent's left leg to fracture and he was sidelined for half a year.
And his most famous butcher behavior was the vicious foul that kicked Alonso in the 2010 World Cup, which completely promoted him to one of the bad guys in football.
Tracing back to the roots, the starting point of all this comes from Hamburg.
After joining Hamburg in the winter of 2006, head coach Hub Stevens positioned De Jong as a fierce defensive midfielder. Because of his tough style, he was called a "lawnmower" by fans on the court.
In the penultimate match of the first half of the Bundesliga, Cottbus and Hamburg met, and sparks were bound to fly when the two teams collided.
Even before the game started, the media was already buzzing with excitement.
"Football News", which has always looked down on Cottbus, is still not optimistic about Cottbus' future this time.
"Although Cottbus is ranked in the Bundesliga, they don't look like a strong team. Most of their points come from their poor performance. They beat Karlsruhe 6-0 and Rostock 7-0. Is there any significance to such a big victory? Look at their games against big and powerful teams. They barely tied with Schalke 04 3-3, tied with Werder Bremen 0-0, and their only victory over Wolfsburg was 3-3. With a narrow defeat of 2, Cottbus is really not good enough to be regarded as one of the championship contending teams.”
The "Bild" even put up two comparison pictures, one is the performance of the Chinese team in recent years, and the other is the performance of the Dutch team in recent years.
"The duel between Cottbus and Hamburg is actually a duel between the Chinese midfielder and the Dutch midfielder. The final result is obvious. Although Shao Jiayi and Li Tie have also performed very well this season, they are not as good as Van der Vaart and the German midfielder. Compared with Yun Sheng, it is still far behind. In this game, in the most critical midfield position, Cottbus has already fallen behind. If Yunsheng still wants to win, then he must place his hope on Adri Jarno and Cassano are gone, now only these two forwards can save Cottbus."
Regarding the showdown between China and the Netherlands, the more authoritative "Kicker" also used this statement.
"In addition to their respective two midfielders, there are other compatriots in their starting lineup. Hamburg's main central defender Matheson is also Dutch and he was also selected for the latest Dutch team; while Cottbus's winger Midfielder Yu Hai is also Chinese. This game is actually a duel between three Chinese players and three Dutch players. The final result depends largely on their performance."
Seeing these reports, Yun Sheng scoffed.
These media like to exaggerate fateful showdowns and dramatic showdowns.
When Yun Sheng saw the emails from domestic newspapers and periodicals sent to him by Liu Surong, he suddenly felt helpless.
I didn’t expect that the situation in China would be the same.
Compared with the German media's attitude of watching the excitement, the Chinese domestic media is even more passionate.
Cottbus, led by Yunsheng, continues to be ranked first in the Bundesliga. The three Chinese players in the team performed extremely well, which made the domestic football market, which has been sluggish, lively.
Now every move of Cottbus is like a butterfly effect, touching the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans.
Yun Sheng reluctantly replied an email to Liu Surong.
"Looking at this situation, Cottbus has already represented the Chinese team in this game?"
Ten minutes later, Liu Surong's new email came back.
"Of course, Coach Yun Da must win this game (smiley face)."
