Reborn on Top of Football

By the end of October, Tubingen Youth, a new player in the southern German regional league, was 8 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The score of 26 points was temporarily at the top of the list, while Burghausen in the second place was 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 Negative, 21 points, Trier third place 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, 20 points. The fourth place was Regensburg, with 5 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses, and 19 points. The fifth place was Aaron, 5 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses, and 17 points. Although the league has just played a third, the Tubingen youth have opened the gap between the tightly-lined second to fifth. It is interesting that the points difference between the teams in the regional leagues is very small. In addition to not many matches, many draws have also narrowed the points between the teams. On the whole, from the sixth-ranked Red and White Elfte to the seventeenth-ranked Ansbach, the teams are very closely aligned, except that the last one, Fulda, has encountered a financial crisis this year. In addition to the victory, even 17th place Ansbach has won two games so far.

Xu Genbao carefully observed the overall strength gap between the team and the opponent, and made a major decision: two strikes!

On August 24 this year, the youth of Tubingen met Hannover 96 in the first round of the German Cup. Hannover 96 will go all out to compete in the Bundesliga. At the same time, it is facing a Tubingen youth of an amateur team. The new army that has been promoted to the regional league is logically two grades behind this team, so Hannover 96 just sent a substitute lineup to play ...

As a result, the youth of Tubingen who was encouraged by the salary increase, retired into the club and arranged for work to increase their investment in the stadium gave a 4: 1. Although it was a little surprising that Hannover 96 was eliminated from the FA Cup in the first round as a Bundesliga team, Hannover 96 obviously did not want to perform in the German Cup this year. In addition, it is also a tradition that amateur teams are particularly excited about playing the German Cup. So it didn't attract much attention.

Of course, Xu Genbao made this decision because the team is in a hot state. At least he has not encountered too many challenges in the league. Among the group of regional league teams who are not in need, the young Tubingen youth are very uplifting. It is a bit of a flock. If you don't go well in the German Cup, you will waste such a powerful attack force. Second, Xu Genbao considers the team's economic problems. Although the Wang Ai family is not bad, there is a limit to the total funds that can be invested in the club construction. You can get a 20-year annual salary plus a bonus that you do n’t know about as a part-time job. Lao Xu thinks that the club's finances should be made earlier. Get healthy. The farther you go in the German Cup, the more money you get. When you meet a big club, you can earn hundreds of thousands of euros for away tickets. Even if the fans go to the opponent, the contributions are evenly divided. Of course, there is also a bonus from the German Football Association. Each round has a bonus. For example, in August, the Tubingen youth beat Hanover 96 in an accident and got 28,000 euros. For each additional round, the bonus is almost Just double, for example in the second round, the youth of Tubingen will meet Wolfsburg with a prize of 50,000 euros ...

For Wang Ai, who is still selling blood and playing football, there is not much money, but it is "turning money"! Therefore, Wang Ai is also very supportive. From the perspective of commercial development, Huang Xin considers that the farther he goes, the more likely he is to meet a strong team, and the higher the chance of getting a live German TV broadcast. And once the Tubingen youth has developed a self-style, that is, a style that is fast, sharp, and aggressive, they may pamper the sponsors who have been hesitant.

Because of the 64 teams in the German Cup, Bundesliga Bundesliga accounted for 36, plus Bundesliga relegated 4 teams, and the remaining 20 are amateur teams. Among them, the regional league now has the problem of relegation with the German Bundesliga. The two players who entered the German Bundesliga the previous year could play the German Cup, and the German Bundesliga relegated to the regional league could also play the German Cup, which is equivalent to occupying the regional league. Of four places. Therefore, the 5th to 7th places in the northern and southern regions can also participate in the German Cup. The remaining 14 places were given to the German State League champions and runners-up in the previous year. Although Germany has 16 administrative states, there are only seven groups of state leagues in terms of population, football level and other factors.

Therefore, the possibility of encountering strong teams in the German Cup is very high. This is also a rare opportunity for many small teams to meet high-level teams. The German Football Association, in order to prevent the strong team from taking the German Cup is not a matter, so the bonuses given each year are very generous.

Xu Genbao proposed that Wang Ai nodded, and Huang Xin strongly endorsed the club's major development decision at the dinner table, with a few words of braised pork, beef stew, and wine being finalized, which was a little joking. Several main players such as Ozil who ate at the same table could not think of anything else. It was enough to play with the ball. They could compete with high-level opponents earlier, and they were unhappy.

In fact, Xu Genbao and Wang Ai were able to decide that the two-line operation was very risky on the surface. After dinner, Leoni grabbed Wang Ai and asked: The thickness of our team's bench is too poor. The main force is you seven or eight people. Once it affects the state of the game, it is dangerous for the team's number one mission this year-to hit the German Bundesliga.

Wang Ai tapped his chest and gradually became a stroking lioness paw: "Our team's bench thickness is indeed not enough, but you have to see that we can relax appropriately in the regional leagues. And we are young and have good physical fitness. At least, it is theoretically possible for double-line strikes. In the half-month we have a double match a week, you can see that our results are not bad. It is really before the German Cup, we can rest a few main players. To be honest, now our The offensive power is too strong. It ’s a waste of five or six goals per game. "

However, the Tubingen youth's decision has just been completed, and there have been twists and turns in the league game: On November 3, in the 12th round of the southern German division, Tubingen played vfr Mannheim away. Not good, Wang Ai scored a long shot only in the 36th minute of the second half, winning the opponent 1-0. On November 10th, in the 13th round, the Tubingen youth faced Bayern Munich's second team at home. Ozil had a cold. Because he lived together, the infected Wang Ai was uncomfortable. Xu Genbao reluctantly pressed them to the bench. At the table. In fact, after the sudden cooling in southern Germany, the whole team's health was not good. After 90 minutes of playing with the opponent under the shortage of major generals, the team turned in vain. Immediately after November 17th, in the 14th round, the Tubingen youths faced the weak brigade Elvisberg, relying on Bai Guanghai's two grab points to win the opponent 2-0. Then, on November 24, when they faced Stuttgart's kickers at home, the young Tubingen youth were still full, but they did not return to their best form. The final game was passed by Wang Ai in the last ten minutes. The shot ended at 3: 1.

After establishing a two-line strategy, Tubingen's youth is in a constant state of magic. Although from the data point of view, the entire November game remained undefeated, three wins and one draw, which continued the advantages of the previous stage and even expanded, but Tubingen's youth won more reluctantly, and there was no free movement in the previous stage. It's a good mood.

After a small victory over the Stuttgart kicker, on Wednesday, November 28, in the second round of the German Cup, the youth of Tubingen will go north to Lower Saxony in central Germany. The opponent of this round is the Bundesliga midfielder team Wolfsburg!
