Chapter 19 Before the Game
"Wow, so many people."

Looking at the bustling streets with people coming and going outside the bus, Caesar was a little surprised.It was just an ordinary second-tier league game, but it attracted a large number of fans to watch the game.

The situation in St. Pauli is also not optimistic. Red and White Allen now has 26 points, and St. Pauli is behind them by 3 points.Both teams are ranked in the middle, working hard for a chance to upgrade.

Their head coach, Holger Stanislawski, was about the same age as Uker, but their personalities were very different.

Under his leadership, St. Pauli players played less "German" football and paid more attention to technical training.

Although the record is not good, St. Pauli fans are still full of hope for the team.

After surviving the difficult stage at the beginning of the season, they have achieved an impressive record of 3 consecutive victories. If they can defeat Red and White Allen, then the road to promotion seems to be smooth sailing.

So for this game, the fans of the home team reported great hopes.Coupled with the recent poor state of Red and White Allen, they have reason to look forward to today's victory.

"Their Royce has just returned from injury. There is a high probability that he will not be in a good state in this game. We have a chance!"

"Yeah, Red and White Allen's defense is unstable. As long as we can control the situation, they will make mistakes sooner or later."

"St. Pauli is invincible! Let's go to the Bundesliga!!"

Through the window, Caesar could hear the cheers and laughter of the opponent's fans. Their bus passed through the crowd and slowly stopped at the parking lot.

The players filed out, turning a blind eye to the protruding microphones.

"It can be seen that Red and White Allen has been under a lot of pressure recently, and even Pistachio Gross Kreutz is frowning." The local TV reporter in St. Pauli said confidently, "Oh, there seem to be two new faces here."

He was referring, of course, to Caesar and Marcus.

It was the first time for Caesar to come to the scene of the game from the perspective of the parties involved, and it naturally seemed like "Grandma Liu walked into the Grand View Garden", and everything was new to see.

His bumpkin looking around made the reporters on the scene laugh.

Could it be that Red and White Allen can only bring this kind of little guy out to compete?

"Hello! I'm Ma Wen, a reporter from St. Pauli's local TV station. Can you answer a few questions for us?" The reporter put the microphone into Caesar's mouth, and the other reporters also surrounded him.

"Hey! Luther!" Assistant coach Haymes didn't give the players a password, but he still hoped that everyone could understand the team's current position.

The media is the group that can most inflame the emotions of fans. Once a certain player speaks improperly and causes the team to be negatively affected, it will be even worse for the current red and white Allen.

However, Haymes was caught by the head coach Uke. Looking back, Uke looked interested: "Don't worry, let's see what Luther will say."

Caesar was also a little surprised. He was already hiding at the back, but he was found by the reporters at a glance.

Hmph, is this how the protagonist is treated?

"Well, ahem, we are learning today. After all, the team has not been in a good state recently. We hope to use today's game to reverse the situation." Caesar still knows the severity. After all, he has seen so many interviews. Who can't talk about the scene.

Hammers heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that Caesar still has some brains sometimes.

Marvin was a little disappointed, he didn't hear what he wanted to hear.

Caesar pushed the reporters away and followed everyone. He had no time to argue with the reporters.

"You're very mature." Uke, who was waiting inside, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Now is not the time to become a 'socialist'." Caesar unzipped the zipper, and the heating here was too high, "If you can't prove yourself with your strength, who cares about a clown who can only talk big."

"Get ready to play, I hope you can do what you say." Uke and Hammers looked at each other, and the latter shrugged.

St. Pauli's Millerntor-Stadion can hold more than 2 people, and one of the areas is filled with red and white Allen's expedition fans.

This is a fan team in Allen Town, and the organizer of this team is the bar owner Kugel's long-time friend, Hamit Fogt (Hamit·Fogt).

This man is white and fat, about 45 years old, with delicate skin, and there seems to be a class gap with the people who have worked all year round.

Vogt stood at the forefront of the stands at the moment, shouting the team's name loudly.Once this well-mannered math teacher from a high school in Allen Town comes into contact with football, he will step out of the usual calm rhythm and switch to another fanatical version of himself.

"Hamit!!" A young man squeezed over, Jim Keller (Kim Keller), also a loyal fan of the team.

"Jimmy!" The fat man glanced at him, "What's wrong, it took me a long time to come back from the toilet."

Jimmy Kohler wiped his sweat: "No way, there are too many people."

The two were talking, and the players had already entered the field to warm up.

The team still adopts a 4-4-2 lineup in this game, with one old and one young at the front. Caesar can only patiently wait for the opportunity to see when Uke will send him on the field.

The place where they warmed up happened to be near the fan team. Hearing the shouts of Hammett and Jimmy, Caesar couldn't help but get excited.

He has always stood in the stands, never thought that stepping on the football field is such an exciting thing.

"Marcus, do you think we can play today?" Caesar said to his friend, and Marcus looked at the stadium, which was already full of seats.

He seemed to be shaking his body nervously: "It's unlikely, after all, we have just entered the team."

"I think so too, but if any of us have the chance to play, we must not forget that this is just the first game of our brilliant career." Caesar raised his fist, Marcus looked at it, grinned and said: "Why do you say such things from your mouth?"

The two clashed fists, then walked back to the locker room, where Uke made the final arrangements.

"Jens! You weren't in the right shape during training, I hope you've adjusted!" There's nothing to say about the formation, just another knock on certain players.

The core midfielder Jens Bammer nodded silently, but looked at Caesar out of the corner of his eye.

"Marco! Pay attention to protect yourself! The opponent will definitely focus on your injured part, and if it is not necessary, absolutely do not attack it."

"Okay!" Marco squeezed the bracelet that Sara gave him. For the girl whose body has not yet grown, Royce only has the feeling of a younger sister.

In his opinion, Sarah, who has always been happy, seems to have a magical power that can infect everyone around her.Maybe, her gift can protect her from being hurt again.
