Episode [229]: Warm-up match against Duisburg

Founded in 1902, Duisburg is now a century-old club with a long history.

And at the beginning, they won the regional championships many times, and they were the best team among the best teams.In one season, they scored 113 goals and conceded only 12 goals, which is simply abnormal.

However, mobilization occurred in the 20s, and it was not resumed until the 30s.

When the Bundesliga was established in 1963, Duisburg was one of the sixteen original members. In the first season of joining the Bundesliga, Duisburg won the runner-up of the Bundesliga, but this is also their Bundesliga so far. best score.

Duisburg has been playing in the Bundesliga for more than 20 years. It was not until the 1982-1983 season that it was relegated to the second division for the first time. After that, the Duisburg club has been ups and downs in the first and second levels.

And Duisburg was still playing in the Bundesliga last season, and they are newly promoted this season.

In the past two seasons, Duisburg has also introduced a lot of players. It is said that Duisburg is very interested in South Korean striker Ahn Jung-hwan and hopes to bring the South Korean striker to Duisburg.

Ahn Jung-hwan is a famous striker!

Many people know that Ahn Jung-hwan is not because he is a symbol of Korean football, nor because he is a Korean striker studying abroad, but because of the incident of "all Italians boycotting" Ahn Jung-hwan.

Ahn Jung-hwan is indeed a good striker and an icon of Korean football.

In the 2000 season, the 24-year-old Ahn Jung-hwan was valued by the Perugia team in Italy, and he was loaned to the team. In the second year, he was transferred to the Perugia team in the Serie A for 200 million US dollars. .

At that time, the Serie A league was called a small World Cup, and being able to join the Serie A team was enough to show that Ahn Jung-hwan was very good.

However, in the 2002 World Cup, the South Korean team eliminated the Italian team with a black whistle.All Italians are very angry because they don't like the Koreans.And the Perugia team in Serie A has a Korean player, how can the Italians tolerate it?

So before the end of the World Cup, the Perugia club announced that South Korean striker Ahn Jung-hwan would be kicked out.

When the president of the Perugia club was interviewed by media reporters, he said: "The players of the whole team boycott him (Ahn Jung-hwan). He has no place in the team. We have to clean him up!"

During the two seasons in Perugia, Ahn Jung-hwan played a total of 29 times and scored 5 goals.

It is precisely because of the "Italian boycott" time that Ahn Jung Hwan really became popular. Countless Chinese people know this Korean, even if they are not fans.

After being kicked out, Ahn Jung-hwan joined Japan's Shimizu Drummer, played here for two seasons, and then played for the Yokohama Mariners for two seasons.

This summer, Duisburg valued Korean Ahn Jung-hwan, and now they are preparing to bring Ahn Jung-hwan to Europe.However, Duisburg has not succeeded yet, and the South Korean striker has not appeared in Duisburg's formation.

Now the head coach of Duisburg, Norbert Meyer, is considering the introduction of strikers. Their relegation task this season is very difficult, and he needs a striker who can attack the city.

It is said that Leeds United's defensive strength is very strong. Norbert Meyer chose to play against Leeds United in the warm-up match before the season. On the one hand, he checked his team's striker strength and offensive ability. Leeds United learned something defensively here.

Now, he is standing on the sidelines, and there are players from Duisburg and Leeds United on the court.

━━━Separation line━━━

Zhong Cheng knows that Duisburg is a newly promoted team, and also knows that their striker is not strong.

Even last season, Duisburg won No.2 in the Bundesliga Bundesliga, their offensive power is not ranked in the top three of the Bundesliga Bundesliga, and their number of goals can only be ranked sixth in the Bundesliga Bundesliga.This is already very telling. If they don't introduce some forwards, Duisburg will prepare for the Bundesliga in advance.

However, so far, Duisburg has not introduced any good forwards, because they have no money, so at this time Norbert Meyer will take a fancy to Korean striker Ahn Jung-hwan, because he has experience in European wars, And he played in the small World Cup, the most important thing is that Ahn Jung Hwan is cheap.

Even so, Zhong Cheng will not attack rashly in this game.

Although he really wants to play gorgeous offensive football, Zhong Cheng is very clear that Leeds United will still focus on defensive counterattacks in the Premier League in the new season.Therefore, in this game, Zhong Cheng still has to test the team's defensive strength, and of course the most important thing is to test the quick counterattack.

In this game, Zhong Cheng changed some starting players again. Today's Leeds United's starting lineup is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Back four [left to right]: Danny Pugh, Gary Cahill, Ivanovic and Gary Kelly

Double defensive midfielders: Alexander Song, Albertini
Three midfielders [from left to right]: Ribery, Modric, Dembele
Solo striker: Huntelaar
Yes, there are some newcomers in this game, such as Alexander Song and Dembele who have just transferred back. It can be seen that Zhong Cheng wants to see what kind of strength these players have?
Zhong Cheng was standing coquettishly on the sidelines in a white suit, attracting fans to salute him frequently, because Zhong Cheng was really eye-catching and his outfit was too coquettish.Even the substitute players in Duisburg couldn't help but look at Zhong Cheng more, Zhong Cheng is really manly.

Of course, most people's eyes are still more focused on Zhong Cheng's suit, they like it immediately after seeing it, it's very good, and it's very individual and perfect.They all want to buy the feeling of a suit, and they can't pull it out in their eyes.

At this time, Zhong Cheng folded his arms and stood quietly on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the inside of the court.

The result of this game is not important, what Zhong Cheng cares about is the process.That's why he stared at the court so intently, paying attention to this game.

Zhong Cheng is focusing on examining Alexander Song and Dembele to see how adaptable they are?How is the psychological quality?
At the beginning of the game, the Duisburg team attacked wildly.

Seeing this, Zhong Cheng kept nodding his head. It could be seen that Norbert Meyer was determined to attack the Duisburg team.

The game has just started, and Duisburg got a better chance.

The young Alexander Song made a mistake, and was seized by the Slovenian international Kalivan Lavric on the Duisburg striker. He accelerated his escape and entered the penalty area of ​​Leeds United.

Facing Gary Cahill who was moving laterally, Calvin Lavridge suddenly made a false shot and made a real dunk, swayed Gary Cahill, and then directly swung his leg and shot.With a bang, the football shot towards Leeds United's goal like a fired shell.

Norbert Meyer on the sidelines couldn't help leaning forward, very excited.

Unfortunately, the football was saved by Zhong Zheng's side throw, and the football was directly cleared by Ivanovic, without giving Duisburg a corner kick.

Some Belgian fans at the scene kept applauding, cheering for Zhong Zheng's wonderful performance.

Norbert Meyer sighed for a while, this striker is really not very good!

This opportunity is already very good. To be honest, Kalivan Lavridge has done a good job in the previous series of actions, but the last shot is slightly worse. If you change to a striker who shoots better, the goal should be Just took it down.

Norbert Meyer nodded. It seems that a striker who can score goals must be introduced as soon as possible, otherwise Duisburg will be suspended this season.

Duisburg's offense came again in the stadium, the ball came out from the sideline, the wide player made a 45-degree pass directly, the football flew into the penalty area of ​​Leeds United, and another center of Duisburg, Marcus Kull He jumped high and headed the goal.

Unfortunately, the football was stared out by Gary Cahill stepping forward.

The football rolled to Albertini's feet. Albertini pulled the ball directly and turned around. With a lateral change, he escaped the pressure of the Duisburg midfielder's defender, and then sent a scalpel-like through pass. The football went straight Break through Duisburg's sideline defense.

Franck Ribery galloped quickly after receiving the ball, facing the former Danish U21 national team central defender Thomas Bloom with a series of left and right spikes, directly passed the German second-tier central defender, and directly exploded. Shot, shot the football into the corner of the goal, and Leeds United took the lead by one goal.

It's still Ribery, Ribery's state is really too hot.

On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng crossed his arms and frowned.Did Ribery's status come too early?Has the new season started yet?What if Ribery misfires at the beginning of the season?
At this time, Zhong Cheng wanted to overwhelm Ribery, and wanted to replace Ribery.

Ribery did not perform very well, but Huntelaar, the top scorer in the Leeds United team last season and the top scorer in the English Championship, did perform a bit poorly, and he was unable to enter the state for a long time in the warm-up match.

Both Zhong Cheng and the coaching staff of Leeds United are a little anxious. Huntelaar is the top priority of Leeds United. If he is not in good condition, it will be troublesome.

After all, the new season is just around the corner, because Leeds United will participate in the UEFA Cup this season, and the new season's game is really just around the corner. Huntelaar must find his form as soon as possible.

During this period, Duisburg launched a fierce attack and besieged Leeds United, but they really did not cause too much trouble for Leeds United.Zhong Zheng's performance was really good, which made Duisburg's striker really feel desperate.

At the end of the first half, Leeds United scored again.

This time it was an assist from Alexander Song. He sent a very beautiful crossing ball. The football was directly received by Ribery. Ribery made a feint and then directly dunked Duisburg's central defender Alexander Meyer, then blasted another shot past Duisburg's goal.

This Alexander Meyer is not Frankfurt's striker Alexander Meyer, he is a central defender who can also play as a full-back.

Two to zero, at the end of halftime, Leeds United led two to zero.

During the intermission, Zhong Cheng made substitutions. He replaced Zhong Zheng with the newly introduced Simon Mignolet, replaced Gary Kelly with Sagna, and replaced Dan with Evra. Ni Pugh, Vermaelen for Gary Cahill, Darren Bent for Albertini, Lennon for Ribery.

Huntelaar is still on the court and continues to play.

Zhong Cheng really hopes that Huntelaar can find his form through this game. At the same time, Zhong Cheng also asked the players of Leeds United to feed Huntelaar more balls so that he can score goals as soon as possible and break the goal. shortage.

In the second half of the game, the players of Leeds United frantically passed the ball to Huntelaar according to Zhong Cheng's deployment, but Huntelaar's goal did not come for a long time, and even had another chance to hit an empty goal at the back point. Huntelaar didn't even grasp it, and directly missed the football.

Still, Darren Bent, who was just introduced in the new season, scored a beautiful goal with his speed in the counterattack, and Leeds United maintained their lead until the end.

In this game, Leeds United defeated Duisburg [-]-[-].

Duisburg's offense is indeed problematic. If Norbert Meyer does not solve this problem, Duisburg will definitely be relegated this season!
