Chapter 58: When Experience Fails

As the main defender of the German national team, Frederick is the top defensive player. Being closely guarded by such a player is indeed a bit worthy of pride, but the game experience is definitely not very good.

Zhen Shaolong is very depressed now, and Frederick is really too difficult to deal with.

Compared with Frederick, he is at an absolute disadvantage in all aspects, such as body, technology, experience, etc. If he only relies on his strength level, even if Frederick plays as a striker, his performance will be able to pull him down ten streets.

The gap is so big!

When St. Pauli's rare attack, Zhen Shaolong changed his running side and right, but he still couldn't effectively get away with Frederi. Apart from being tired and panting, he had no other gains.

After a while, Zhen Shaolong simply stopped running away.

Most of the time, he stood there, as if waiting for the opportunity to fall from the sky, rather than taking the initiative to fight for it himself.

Then, the opportunity never came.

The commentator of Deutsche Telecom 2 couldn't help but express sympathy for Zhen Shaolong, "It was a cruel experience for being defended by the main defender of the German national team, for a player who was only 18 years old."

"This is enough to be proud, but it is almost impossible to show it."

"Zhen is the best player in the first half, but until now, he has even lost touches..."

Zhen Shaolong faces huge defensive pressure, while the entire St. Pauli faces huge offensive pressure.

Hertha Berlin's offensive was very fierce.

Most of the time, Sao Paulo can only retreat to the penalty area to defend, but the defense still has frequent loopholes. Even if the formation is not loopholes, Hertha Berlin players can forcefully create opportunities directly.

In the 71st minute of the game, Hertha Berlin scored.

The midfielder Gilberto made a contribution.

Gilberto received a pass from outside the penalty area and broke through the São Paulo goal with a cold shot, helping Hertha Berlin tie the score.

2 to 2.

After Hertha Berlin tied the score, Miller Golf Stadium became much silent. The game has been played so well that it is definitely exciting. Sao Pauli has been tied twice, but it is difficult to talk about Sao Pauli still has a chance.

"I'll probably lose!"

"There's nothing to do, the opponent is too strong, we are just the German second division team."

"It's too difficult to defeat Hertha Berlin."

"Even if Zhen performs well, he is just alone..."

“…”

During the discussions among fans, Hertha Berlin continued to maintain offensive suppression and frequently created opportunities in dangerous positions. Even the optimistic Sao Pauli fans did not think that the team still had a chance. Even if the score was only 2-2, Sao Pauli did not even attack, so it was impossible to score a goal. Defensively, it was hard to say whether they could defend until 90 minutes.

According to the rules of the German Cup, if you draw in 90 minutes, you will enter overtime. If you draw in overtime, you will enter penalty shootout.

"Maybe the only chance for the team is to defend until 120 minutes and then have a penalty shootout!" Many fans made this judgment.

The media's view is more extreme.

The commentator of Deutsche Telecom II believes that "Sao Paulo has basically no chance. From the first minute of the second half, it entered the rhythm of Hertha Berlin. Sao Paulo can only run away in defense."

In addition, he continued to talk about Frederi, "Frederi played and stabilized the defense. He kept following Zhen. Zhen, who performed well in the first half, could not break through Frederi's defense."

“This is a bit difficult.”

"He is only eighteen years old after all, and he has only just entered the professional league. Frederi is already the main force of the German team and the world's top defense star. However, if he can be valued by Hertha Berlin, he will be proud to let Frederi defend on the stand-in..."

The game soon entered the last ten minutes.

In a wave of offensives from Hertha Berlin, the ball passed to the front of the penalty area was snatched by Gene, who handed the ball to his teammates. After that, Sulentice and Bruckner failed to pass the ball to the front, and finally the football was handed over to goalkeeper Hondalev, and then a steady counterattack was launched.

This wave of offensive is nothing surprising.

The middle pass is passed by the side and the middle pass is passed by the side again. It is a normal routine to play. It is really difficult to break through Hertha Berlin's defense line. Sulentik was surrounded by the ball in front of the penalty area. He could only force the breakthrough and was knocked to the ground by the opponent's player.

The referee blew up Hertha Berlin's foul.

St. Pauli gets a set piece.

Sulentice fell to the ground and was twenty-five meters away from the goal, and the position was quite good. Unfortunately, St. Pauli did not have an excellent set-piece player. Even with such a good goal, the chance of scoring was not as good as a corner kick.

Sullentik's free throw.

Zhen Shaolong, Luz and Bor stepped forward to compete for the point.

Zhen Shaolong's ability to confront each other is not strong. He stands on the edge against the wall. Luz is the main confrontational person. He is likely to compete for points when he cooperates, but he is carefully guarded by the opponent. Zhen Shaolong's defensive intensity is not low, because Fredrich is standing next to him.

Sullentik made a free throw.

This was indeed a cooperating ball. He kicked the ball horizontally to the left and quickly rolled out more than 20 meters.

Albrecht followed with one kick!

Not a shot!

Albrecht's actions deceived everyone. He waved his feet and passed the ball to the left of the wall. Boer, who was waiting there, stopped the ball in his chest, turned around and volleyed!

"nice shot!"

"Look at this cooperation! Shooting-"

"Bor—"

At the same time, Zhen Shaolong also activated, and he rushed towards the right side.

Fredrich didn't react at all.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Bor, and even if they had movement, they rushed towards the goal, rushing horizontally to the right... What are they doing?

Fredrich hesitated for a moment.

He regretted it immediately!

Boer's volley was very powerful, but there was no angle at all. Goalkeeper Drogney punched the ball out, and then the football hit Simonic and bounced to the right.

Right side?

Fredrich looked up and saw that the opponent's young No. 13 was almost waiting in place, facing the rolling ball, easily completing a push shot.

Football rolled into the goal without any suspense.

Fredrich was stunned. As the captain of Hertha Berlin and the main player of the German national team, he rarely encountered something that surprised him in the game. Now he was full of confusion and shock. When he recalled the opponent's strange running route, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

"How could he run like that?"

“Not common sense…”

"The football rolled to the right randomly, but he rushed there immediately..."

At the same time, huge cheers erupted from the stands around, and the shouts of fans made the ceiling of the stadium tremble-

“3 to 2!”

"It's Zhen! He scored the third goal!"

"So beautiful! So perfect! You can score three goals against Hertha Berlin! I don't know what to describe..."

"I have a hunch, we won now!"

"Then you have to say!"

The excited discussions of fans represent the mood of many people. This is the case with head coach Bergman. When he saw the football fly into the goal, he couldn't help but be excited. He threw the head coach's style aside, like an ordinary fan, swinged forward with both hands and hugged the assistant coach with force, and couldn't help shouting, "Did you see it? Zhen scored another goal! We are leading again!"

"Of course, he's such a genius!"

"I knew it a long time ago that he always finds opportunities and seizes them. He has a genius sense of smell! He was born to score goals!"

Other St. Pauli players were also excited to celebrate.

The Chinese journalists in the media table were also quite satisfied with the interview, and they saw what they wanted to see.

Zhen Shaolong scored three goals!

Hertha Berlin is not a weak team without fame. Even when he is in China, many fans know that in the face of such a powerful team, Zhen Shaolong scored three goals in the game. To judge this performance, Xinlang Sports website reported that it is not only without exaggeration, but rather a bit conservative.

Based on current performance, the report will definitely cause a sensation!

———

Fredrich finally came to his senses. He was thinking about Zhen Shaolong's running position just now and found a very pessimistic fact: his so-called rich experience has completely lost its effect when defending such a player.

Because the other party does not follow the "routine" at all.

In theory, when competing for the ball, everyone should run forward, but the opponent changed the opposite direction and could not keep up as soon as possible.

What's the solution?

Finally, Fredrich sighed, "This may be a genius! It is difficult to understand and unpredictable, but it can appear in the most correct position!"

"He is just a little player now, but he will soon become famous..."

He made a judgment.

If it were Valschrag, there would definitely be teammates who blame him for not being able to keep a guard, but Fredrich would not, because the entire team recognized his ability. The opponent could score the ball under Fredrich's defense, which can only be said that he performed too well.

Hertha Berlin also received bitter fruit.

3 to 2.

There was not much time left. After a simple celebration of Sao Pauli, the game quickly started again at the urging of the referee. Sao Pauli was more fighting spirit than before and his defense became more stringent.

Even if Hertha Berlin has the advantage of strength, it is very difficult to break the goal in a short time.

In the end, Hertha Berlin failed to score another goal.
