long live football

In the home team's dressing room at the MSV Arena, the Duisburg players were relaxed.

"Because the performance of Munich 1860 in the last game was too disappointing for the fans, this time only more than 500 fans of the visiting team came here with them. We can imagine that after the game starts in a while, hundreds of Munich fans will play against us. Thousands of Duisburg fans, what kind of scene is that!" Duisburg head coach was laughing while having a pre-match meeting with his players.

"No one cheers for Munich 1860!" "Or they shout cheers and no one can hear!" Duisburg players roared with laughter.

The strong confidence of the players made the Duisburg coach nod in satisfaction.

Duisburg is currently ranked No.2 in the Bundesliga Bundesliga standings. A week ago, they were bitten tightly by No.3 Munich 1860. The coaches and players worried day and night that after a game, their runner-up The position will be lost. After all, Munich 1860, which has maintained the unbeaten record of the Bundesliga this season, was once recognized as very threatening.

But, ha, god he helped duisburg last week, they won the game, 1860 munich only got one defeat, and now the opponent is in fourth, and the gap with them has become 5 The Duisburg coach is confident that after this game, the gap will become 8 points. At that time, Munich 1860 can only look at the standings and sigh.

"According to my research on Munich 1860, their offense was stronger than their defense, and that coach named Auston was very mean. They switched to defensive counterattack in the second half. However, haha, their good luck has been used up in the last round! Although I don’t know what caused the weakening of Munich 1860, but such a poor field cooperation is impossible in a short period of time. After just a few days, the adjustment was smooth and gorgeous, so I decided - we will play against 1860 Munich in this game!"

Few players responded to the coach's encouragement this time, and some people couldn't help asking their own doubts: "Boss, if we play against them, what if 1860 Munich score ahead of us?"

The Duisburg coach pondered for a while, and said: "Munich 1860 does not have an absolute offensive core for the time being, although their new aid Theofanis Yekas, the Greek has reached an average of 1 per game in recent games. The ball, but almost all of their offenses were initiated by the captain Hassler, who was replaced by the Bundesliga twins when Hassler was exhausted in the second half."

"So Berman, Saroka, I want you to stare at Hassler from the beginning of the first half and not give him any chance to pass the ball. Without his midfield start, Munich 1860's kill in the first half If Oston is willing to make substitutions in the first half, it will be even better, and his substitution quota will be used up, and the second half will be our complete carnival moment!"

The eyes of the Duisburg players were bright, and they were attracted by the scene described by the head coach.

"Don't be afraid, boys, our position in the standings is higher than 1860 Munich, which means that we are better than them, and this is our last game of the season against 1860 Munich, it is our own home ground, Come on, boys, cheer up, you have to score them a few more goals in the first half, and let 1860 Munich also taste the feeling of being pierced quickly! The final victory must be Duisburg!"

The Duisburg players shouted in unison: "Let Munich 1860 go back from our home in disgrace, and never expect to be promoted this season again!"

Duisburg coach believes that this will be a game without suspense.

……

5 minutes before the start of the game, the face of the confident Duisburg coach began to turn pale.

In the Munich 1860 starting list played on the big screen in the stadium, Hassler's name was not there, and a guy named Ozil was replaced.

Which onion is Ozil?where is he from?What does it look like?What are the characteristics of the game?

Everyone in Duisburg knew nothing about it.

The two defenders, Berman and Saroka, surrounded the head coach and said anxiously and at a loss: "Boss, Hassler is not in the starting lineup, what should we do?"

The head coach of Duisburg was also in chaos. He could only try his best to wake himself up and think of countermeasures, while temporarily perfunctory the players and said: "You just...help the team attack, yes, our tactics remain the same, or Offensive! Pass the ball more forward, no matter who they replace, as long as we take the lead and get the advantage!"

The players scrambled onto the field, already doubting what the boss said in their hearts.

And 10 minutes later, the numbers displayed on the scoreboard made the Duisburg coach chill all over.

1: 0.

In less than 5 minutes, 1860 Munich scored a goal!

Obviously Duisburg is also in a 433 formation, and obviously the two teams are playing against each other. Why is it that 1860 Munich scored first instead of them occupying the home court?

The Duisburg coach forced himself to calm down and began to observe the situation on the pitch.

Then he saw his team suffer another blow--

In the 19th minute, Ozil, who came out of nowhere, received a long pass from his teammate in the middle, and broke through from the wing to the Duisburg half. He crossed the right side of the penalty area and passed the ball to Munich 1860's striker Jekas.

Jekas took a long-range shot with his big foot, and the football was saved by the Duisburg goalkeeper.

Just when all the Duisburg players breathed a sigh of relief, the defender Berman slipped on the sole of his foot. He originally wanted to shoot the football into the midfield to clear the siege, but mistakenly stuffed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

The Munich 1860 forward Agostino, who did not know when he ran into the penalty area to look for opportunities, did his part and volleyed at the football!

The white net floated high, and Duisburg was given a "big gift" by its own players!

The head coach of Duisburg did not come up with a little insight from the failure experience until the end of the first half: Yes, the cooperation of Munich 1860 still did not reply that they had that solid main lineup years ago. It feels like flowing clouds and flowing water, but their players are playing very hard!

The momentum of breaking through with the ball didn't seem like he was attacking, but rather like he was kicking a bundle of explosives to go to justice heroically!

At the same time, the confidence of the Duisburg players was also shaken-the head coach made a vowed prediction for Munich 1860 before the game, including tactics and all aspects of the starting lineup, all of which were not allowed when the game officially started Not to mention, it wasn't them who scored the first goal, but 1860 Munich, who scored two goals in one go!

During the intermission, Duisburg's coach didn't mention any "confrontation" anymore. He ordered the defense to retreat in the second half of the game and asked several central defenders to keep a close eye on Jekas and Ozil. Perhaps Agostino should also be added. In short, it is to see all the characters on the Munich 1860 striker.

But after the start of the second half of the game, he felt a bit of a breakdown-Oston actually replaced Ozil with the Bender twins!Their formation has also changed from 433 to 442, although it is still an offensive 442.

But no matter who it is, his order has already been issued: as long as it is the striker of Munich 1860, as long as they dribble the ball past halftime, they will press!Go tackle!To cut off their connection with their teammates, so that they can neither pass the ball nor shoot the goal!

Duisburg's style of play really curbed the offensive momentum of Munich 1860, but it also cost them a heavy price-two yellow cards, one and a free kick in the 80th minute of the game.

By this time, 1860 Munich had another substitution.

Oston used up his last substitution and let a Spaniard named Portillo take the team's free kick.

The coach of Duisburg has heard a little about this boy named Portillo, the once brilliant "Golden Boy of Real Madrid"!After he transferred from Serie A to Bundesliga B, the German media also made some reports. It is said that he started in Munich 1860 and was substituted several times, but his condition is still not good. Apart from assists, there is no goal. Last week's "Der Spiegel" also teased that Auston might as well change Portillo's position and let him play midfielder instead.

Now let this one person who has not made any contribution to the team take a free throw...Could it be that Portillo has a free kick?

The Duisburg coach couldn't help but hold his breath, staring at Portillo's feet, and then watched helplessly as the opponent took a free kick into the stands behind the goal.

The kick was too strong, and the focus was low, although the angle was quite accurate-the coach of Duisburg gave the free throw a judgment in an instant.

He rarely picked up a bit of complacency, and looked at the Munich 1860 coaching bench: Hey, Oston, this is the penalty player you personally selected. Now that the goal is not scored, you can cry!

but……

Auston wasn't angry?smiling?Still laughing and beckoning Portillo to the sidelines, patting him on the shoulder and whispering comfort? !

The Duisburg coach's lungs are going to explode.

What the hell is this guy Karl Alston doing?Is he playing big rotation?

Does he think this is a serious Bundesliga, or some FM football game? !

Actually took a free kick to test the striker's foot feel?

It's just dull!

What's even more irritating is, why does he play like this, the Munich 1860 hasn't broken yet?Why are they still controlling the entire rhythm on the court so far?

I rub it, can you still score in stoppage time?

Are you going to be mad at me? !

When the referee blew his whistle to indicate the end of the game, the number 3:0 on the scoreboard was extremely conspicuous, and the Duisburg fans in the MSV Arena left the field in frustration, but the cheers from more than 1860 Munich [-] fans were clear and loud , Some of them even blew a whistle, and the shrill sound resounded throughout the stadium.

The Duisburg coach looked ugly as if someone had just booed him.

He stared at Karl Oston fiercely: I can't beat you, I curse you!I curse you that you will never be able to level up!

……

Although Alan Cranstone returned to his home in Beverly Hills from Universal Studios, he was exhausted and all the cells in his body were clamoring to go to bed, but thinking of his rebellious sister in the past two years, he still insisted on calling the housekeeper to ask Said: "Where is Annie?"

The dedicated butler replied: "Miss Anthea went shopping with her friends, and she said she would not come back for dinner."

Allen rubbed his brows: "I'm not here for a few days, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right?"

"The servant didn't find anything suspicious in the room, nor did he smell any strange smell." The housekeeper paused: "Ah, Miss Anthea seems to have developed a new interest recently."

"What is it?" As long as it's not taking drugs, or changing boyfriends like changing clothes, Alan can accept anything.

The butler left for a while, and came back with a lot of newspapers: "I think it's football."

This completely surprised Allen.

The butler spread out the ironed and neatly folded newspapers in front of Allen, revealing the headline of yesterday's "Kicker": "Alston's substitutions are like a game in Munich 1860 with a magical zero seal in Duisburg" pause?Allen has a little impression of this name, the one who had an affair with Annie in Munich a few months ago, he was asked this question by the reporter when he was on the set, but after asking Annie's agent that day, he He knew that it was an own goal, and Anne had nothing to do with this man, so he didn't investigate this man, he only knew that the man was a football coach named Oston.

But now.

His fingertips slowly slid across the cover picture.

This style of dressing, the preference of color tone, the habit of meticulously pinching the hair to one side, and this expression, the feeling in the eyes... all look like a person.

Annie said, "I saw Gu."

Lowering his head, in the shadow caused by the backlight, Allen's eyes were like wisps of faint blue smoke.

"Investigate this Karl Alston."
