Chapter 148: Upgrading the Bundesliga (Part 2)(1/2)

Bergman said one thing right, Rostock is indeed not an easy opponent to deal with.

Rostock ranks 11th in the league, and its strength and results belong to the mid-range team in the Bundesliga second, but Sao Pauli does not have an advantage in strength. If Sao Pauli ranks second, they will be regarded as the top club in the Bundesliga second, which is really too arrogant. Sao Pauli can come from behind and reach the second in the league, most of the time it is due to Zhen Shaolong's continuous goals.

A team has a goal machine. As long as the defense line is not a pure sieve, the results cannot be said to be on the way, but they will definitely not be much worse.

It is hard to say that St. Pauli's overall strength is stronger than Rostock.

Rostock played at home, and the players quickly got into the state. As the game started, they suppressed St. Pauli with their performance.

Waves of offensives.

Tough confrontations again and again.

Rostock did not give up on the game. Even though the game was not very meaningful to them, he played very hard and firmly. With his outstanding performance, he quickly took the lead in the eleventh minute.

This is a pass from the outside to the restricted area.

Rostock's two forwards and one of the midfielders rushed into the penalty area. The midfielder on the right accelerated the ball and then made a pass on the left. The forward player followed up and shot and sent the ball into the net.

"Rostock quickly leads the score!"

“1 to 0!”

"This time the cooperation is pretty good. You can still complete the cross in the penalty area. St. Pauli's defense line was broken..."

“…”

The fans of the pool were cheering around, and the fans of the home team Rostock were excited to celebrate the goal. They knew how important it was to win for St. Pauli, but what did that have to do with Rostock?

It is a shame for the opponent to step on Rostock's shoulders and successfully upgrade to the Bundesliga. On the contrary, Rostock can use victory to prevent the opponent from successfully upgrading, to some extent, it is also a success.

Head coach Zah Huber also thought so. He stood on the sidelines and kept clapping his hands to give support to the team's goals.

The game doesn't make much sense to Rostock.

But even if it doesn't make sense, it doesn't mean that Rostock will give up.

If you can use victory to prevent your opponent from upgrading to the Bundesliga, it is also a success for Rostock. If your opponent wins Rostock, you can be sure to advance to the Bundesliga, which is not beneficial to Rostock at all.

So Rostock must strive for victory.

The game started again soon.

Sao Pauli was one goal behind, and the players on the court were all interested in strengthening the offensive, but Rostock's strength was indeed no worse than Sao Pauli. Their fighting was very active, and they could not be said to have the upper hand, nor were they at a disadvantage. It was difficult for Sao Pauli to send the ball to a key position in the frontcourt.

Rostock also took the opportunity to play two fast attacks.

During the second fast break, the football was cleared out of the sideline by Gene's big feet. Rostock was pushed forward a little, and they didn't care too much, because the game was smooth so far. Then Rostock almost played around the St. Pauli's penalty area, but the football was cleared to the side.

Albrecht caught up with the ball!

Albrecht is the fastest player in Sao Paulo's ball. His best skill is to hold the ball and rush forward desperately. This time he used his special skill and brought the ball to the corner of the penalty area in one breath.

The opponent's defender rushed over to defend.

Albrecht slowly adjusted his pace and slowed down. He continued to move forward and could reach the bottom line in one breath, but there was no choice at that time. Now he could hand over the ball to his teammates.

After a glance in the middle, Albrecht passed the ball.

The football was handed over to Luz's feet.

Luz was followed by the opponent's defender, and stopped after receiving the pass, and immediately handed it to Zhen Shaolong on the other side.

The defensive player around Zhen Shaolong is Grupp.

The last time the two teams met, Grupp caused quite a lot of trouble. Although Grupp believed that the opponent scored two goals, which meant that his defense had failed, Zhen Shaolong knew that he could not be entangled by this guy. When he was lying forward, he might have thrown away Grupp, and he immediately used the "Assault" ability.

The "Attack" skill is turned on, and the "football follow effect" will be activated.

He shook his legs and rushed forward!

Grupp did not expect that Zhen Shaolong dribbled the ball so fast that he was still pushing back slantedly, and he could not adjust the start and followed up, so he was immediately left behind.

"Zhen Zhen! Zhen! He threw away Grupp, this is a good opportunity!"

"He's very fast!"

"One-stop!"

"Look at this ball! Look at this ball--"

Zhen Shaolong ran into the penalty area in one breath. After predicting that the time would slow down slightly, he immediately waved his right foot high before the goalkeeper rushed over.

Shoot with one kick!

The foot surface collided violently, and the football rushed from the grass, instantly rushed over the goalkeeper's arm, and then rushed straight into the right corner of the goal with an indomitable momentum.

“Gooooool!!!”

"The ball has entered!"

"No. 13 from St. Pauli, Zhen Shaolong! He threw away Grupp in the counterattack, and the goalkeeper scored a goal with a one-on-one goal, helping St. Pauli equalize the score!"

"This is Zhen Shaolong's 34th goal!"

"In a season, he scored 34 goals in an individual, which is a terrifying data. He is a goal machine. In the past 33 rounds of the league, Sirgen, who has the worst offensive ability, has only scored 35 goals, with an average of only one goal scored in a single game, and Zhen Shaolong scored 33. His goal count is equivalent to a team in Sirgen. Considering that he has not participated in more than a dozen league rounds, there is no doubt that his offensive ability has caught up with most teams..."

"This is really a terrifying efficiency, no wonder many people think that St. Pauli can quickly rise to second place in the league by relying on his goals!"

“…”

Because it was just a goal to tie, St. Pauli made a simple celebration and immediately re-entered the game.

Although he just scored a goal, Bergman was also worried about the game. Who knew that the next goal would be Rostock? He directed the defense loudly on the sidelines, hoping to make the team play more stable.

The next time, both sides spent the stalemate, and no goals were scored until the end of the first half.

Intermission.

Bergmann made a serious attitude and reminded everyone to play more steadily. "Don't be impatient. We still have a lot of time to defend. Our biggest problem is defense. Don't rush to attack. Scoring goals is not easy for the opponent to deal with. We must play more steadily."

"Only stability can bring victory, we can't win in ten minutes!"

After a general discussion, Bergman began to make careful arrangements in order to defend each position. He mainly targeted points that were not performing well, such as the right sidewalk, who were penetrated by Rostock again and again.

Rostock's goal was also initiated from the right.

In fact, St. Pauli's overall performance was not outstanding.

However, overall performance is related to many factors, including luck, on-the-spot performance, cooperation, and an impatient and winning mentality, but it has nothing to do with the players' fighting spirit. Every player is eager to win the game. As long as he can win, St. Pauli can be sure to upgrade to the Bundesliga. Even the most marginal player hopes that the team can upgrade, and everyone works very hard on the court.

The efforts of all players can bring stronger power to the team.

In the second half, St. Pauli paid more attention to defense, but overall situation was not suppressed by Rostock, and he could occasionally launch a continuous offensive.

In the 61st minute of the game, St. Pauli made a continuous attack. After completing two crosses and one shot, the football was driven out of the baseline by the opponent, and St. Pauli got a corner kick opportunity.

This time Gene rushed into the penalty area.

Gene just tried to find an opportunity, but unexpectedly the football happened to fall on his head. After jumping up, he rushed to the top without hesitation and sent the ball directly into the Rostock goal.

This is a clean header!

"Jen! Defender Gene! He helped St. Pauli overtake the score!" Gene's goal surprised many people because he scored too few goals. Zhen Shaolong and Boer couldn't help but give Gene a thumbs up.

Gene himself couldn't believe it.

After reacting, Gene couldn't hold back his excitement and waved his arms to shout. Before his teammates arrived, he rushed to the scene camera like a bull, then pointed at the camera lens and shouted a declaration representing love, "Lannisha, have you seen it? I've scored a goal!"

"My room! Are you ready!"

"I can't wait!"

The teammates next to him were stunned and immediately burst into laughter when they reacted. Gene was not concerned at all, and he was enthusiastically 'teaching' Bor and Sulentice, "Did you see the wonderful header just now?"

"Look at who dares to say that I can't score in the future!"

The teammate next to him nodded numbly.

Gene's goal is indeed very critical. From falling behind to equalization, from equalization to leading, the changes in the scores also reflect the changes in the players' mentality. St. Pauli's fighting spirit is more sufficient. After re-entering the game, everyone is fighting more positively.

Rostock is the opposite.

The game is indeed not important to Rostock. Even if you beat St. Pauli at home, it will be of no benefit. When you fall behind your opponent in the score, their fighting spirit is greatly reduced.

St. Pauli once played a suppression situation with the power of goals.

After the 78th minute of the game, Rostock made a foul on the side and gave St. Pauli a set piece. Because the position was very bad, Rostock didn't care, but the experienced Albrecht found the right opportunity to send the set piece quickly, and the football passed to Zhen Shaolong's feet.

This wave of offensive caught Rostock off guard.

When Zhen Shaolong received the ball at the front of the penalty area, there were no opponents beside him. He stopped the ball to make adjustments, and then immediately took a strong shot.

I was not very lucky this time, and the football hit the right goal post.

But, it doesn't matter!

Boer, who was on the heel, sent the ball into the goal with a kick.

"Hula——"

As soon as the football flew into the goal, St. Pauli fans went crazy. They shouted the team's name excitedly, cheered for the goal, cheered for the victory, and even cheered for the upgrade qualification that they immediately obtained.

1 to 3.
