Vol 2 Chapter 368: Chinese Derby

On November 22, the 14th round of the Bundesliga in the 02-03 season, the Tubingen youth faced the St. Pauli football team at home.
This is a game with no suspense. Saint Pauli is currently ranked 17th among 18 teams and is deeply in the relegation zone. However, the youth of Tubingen has already made their debut in Bundesliga. Even after the last round, Cologne, with a goal difference advantage of 27 points, scored the first in the Bundesliga with 27 points! This is still the situation in the first ten rounds of lack of major generals, and was dragged down. And with the return of the three players in the frontcourt, the gap between St. Pauli will grow wider.
The only thing that got the outside world's attention was that both teams had Chinese players. Although Aachen also has Xie Hui, and his position is stable, Xie Hui has not gone to South Korea to participate in the World Cup after all. Whether in Germany or China, his popularity is different from Yang Chen.
Before Wang Ai joined the national team, Yang Chen was the number one star in the Chinese team. Even though he has been "robbed" by Wang Ai, he is still a candidate to be considered on the national team's forward line.
Unfortunately, Yang Chen hasn't gone very well in recent years. In the best season in Frankfurt, he had the support of the midfield and the trust of the coach. Subsequent coach substitutions and teammate transfers, Yang Chen's playing time and performance space were greatly reduced. When the national team made its first World Cup appearance, Yang Chen was frequently recruited and Frankfurt's dangerous relegation last season made him exhausted. Soon after the World Cup, he moved to St. Pauli, a team that can promise his main position and high salary, also a relegation team. It just changed from Bundesliga to Bundesliga.
In April last year, Wang Ai went to Weinheim with his team, participated in the Baden Cup, and made a trip to Frankfurt, where he saw the well-known "Chinese rocket". At that time, Yang Chen was also a well-known star in the Bundesliga, and Wang Ai was just a small player in a small league in the state league. Both sides are like full moons and stars in the sky.
One year and a half later, when the two sides met again, Wang Ai's team even held down Frankfurt, which was downgraded last season, while Yang Chen stepped into a Bundesliga relegation zone. Team. If you go on like this, by the next season, the identity of the two will be swapped.
How can this not make people sigh! The youth of Tubingen and Wang Ai are just like the rising sun, but Yang Chen, 28, has indeed reached the end of his career.
"Cang Sang Tian Na!"
On the evening of the 21st, Yang Chen, who first came to Tubingen and met with a group of compatriots, such as Wang Ai, ate dinner in the courtyard of Wang Ai and Ozil, and looked at the dark Amer River under the night, feeling with emotion One sentence.
One year and a half of Wang Ai took the initiative to meet him in Frankfurt, but he was kind of asking for help. And just a year and a half later, the person who came to the door replaced him, although he was not willing. But the club is in such a dangerous situation that he is not easy to quit.
Before coming here, head coach Uwe and he analyzed that the youth of Tubingen often had double and even three matches a week during this time. The club must be very tired up and down, and four days later they will go to Spain to challenge Real Betis. In the previous situation of sing and advance, the other club will definitely pay more attention to the UEFA Cup ... In short, you go.
As a professional player, Yang Chen's intentions are clear. After Tubingen's five Chinese players collectively invited Yang Chen for a meal and talked enough, Yang Chen stayed overnight in the hotel in Tubingen's small town. In the morning of the next day, the Tubingen Youth Club announced the appearance list of the round. Wang Ai, Bai Guanghai, Ozil, Mertesacker, Luo Tongliang collective bench.
This will inevitably disappoint many people, including CCTV, which is ready to broadcast live.
I wanted to watch a show where Yang Chen singled out Tubingen's many Chinese foreign aids. However, planner Zhang Bin also understood that according to the comprehensive strength of the two teams, if the Tubingen youths go all out, they may become Yang Chen and be beaten by Chinese compatriots ...
Then, it's too discordant.
At 15:00 in the afternoon, five games in the 14th round of the German Bundesliga started simultaneously. The focus of the battle was the Tubingen youth against St. Pauli's China Derby and Cologne and Freiburg.
The current standings are Tubingen Youth, Cologne 27 points, Freiburg 26 points, Frankfurt 25 points. The direct dialogue between these four teams often has an irreversible impact on the final ranking. Someone followed closely, and somebody inevitably fell off.
In this game, Yang Chen was very excited.
Although he and his head coach know that Tubingen youth can't release water for the personal friendship of the players, the main thing is to prepare for the UEFA Cup. But it ’s rare that a lion is snoring. Do n’t hurry to earn points? Thirteen rounds passed, and St. Pauli won 2 and tied with 8 points.
At 10 pm, Chinese fans who turned on the TV on time were in a difficult position to face this "China Civil War." Although he wants to support Yang Chen, Tubingen's youth is reluctant to leave. Every conversation between Yang Chen and Chen Yang or Zhang Yonghai will make them both happy and entangled. At the same time, the "Battle Song" of Tubingen's youth also attracted their attention. It was really a song that was too rhythmic and oppressive.
At the end of the first half, St. Pauli temporarily led with 1: 0, and the scorer was Yang Chen.
In the second half, Xu Genbao replaced Bai Guanghai. As a result, the old white was unambiguous. He scored two goals within half an hour and put the score back.
In this regard, Yang Chen could do nothing. In the 13th round of the league, Bai Guanghai scored 18 goals more efficiently than his peak. When Vihni Yalek of Bielefeld won the top scorer in the Bundesliga last season, he scored 18 goals all season!
Fortunately, Tubingen did not finally release Wang Ai, and throughout the game Wang Ai sat on the bench with a relaxed expression and chat with Ozil. After scoring two goals on the field, Lao Bai also relaxed a lot, and at the end of the game, Yang Chen assisted Alexander Meyer and scored a goal.
A 2: 2 draw is a happy ending. The Tubingen youth gained a valuable point. Although the defeated Cologne team took the lead by 30 points, they also led Frankfurt with 28 points and a goal difference, and they lost Freiburg after a strong dialogue. With 26 points, he ranked fourth. As a result, Tubingen youths remain in the first group.
Yang Chen ’s Saint Pauli scored a rare point, which led him to 9 points and lost the
advantage
of 14 goal difference, leading the same 9 points but losing 16 goal difference to Brunswick, thus counting down Third, it was difficult to see the dawn of relegation.
The Chinese broadcaster and the Chinese fans saw the "China Derby" shaking hands and were very satisfied.
After the game, Yang Chen hurriedly greeted and returned to Hamburg with the team. Wang Ai will preside over an acceptance check.
Acceptance of homework for one year!
