23 First Battle (Part 1)

When the referee whistled, Chemnitz's players immediately rushed to Bochum's halftime like a tide. Bochum's main striker Weigman, who was the first to kick off, immediately passed the ball back and came to the team's core Darius and Watts' feet.

Barack arrived at Watts almost immediately. He was tall and strong and immediately used his physical advantage to hit Watts, who was less than 1.7 meters tall. The latter staggered and lost the ball.

Thomas and Stix Ross immediately went forward and knocked the ball back to the central defender behind him before Jankoler, barely stabilizing the situation. However, Jankoler and Jucho also forced them up as soon as possible, and the two Chemnits wing forwards on both sides also stepped forward to exert pressure.

The ball is twisting and turning at the feet of Bochum players. Their ball-control skills have always been a unique landscape in the German league, a bit like Barcelona in Yang Cheng's previous life, but what is comparable to that is the elevator characteristics of Bochum in recent years.

Relegated from the Bundesliga in the 92/93 season, immediately upgraded from the Bundesliga in 93/94, and relegated from the Bundesliga again in 94/95. This season, the possibility of Bochum's upgrade is very high. Such continuous relegation is definitely a degeneration for Bochum, who claimed to have not been relegated to the team back then.

You should know that from the 1970s to the early 1990s, Bochum was always active in the Bundesliga. They advocated offense and technology and were a very distinctive team. So even in the Bundesliga second, Bochum's home attendance rate was still very high.

And one of the important reasons why Bochum has been upgraded and downgraded so frequently is its characteristics, offense and technology!

Just like Bochum's midfielder, except for Thomas and Stix Ross, other players cannot adapt to tough battles. Darius, the team's number one offensive core, is a short and flexible player. His footwork, overall view and awareness are outstanding, but his poor physical fitness limits his development, which is also the reason why he has never been able to gain a foothold in the German national team and play as the main player.

So in this game, Yang Cheng specially pulled Sebastian and Kyle to the midfield. This German rookie who was supposed to be the most suitable candidate for the center-back and was very libero in the center-back position, and the purpose was to freeze Watts one by one with Barack one by one.

Almost from the beginning of the game, Yang Cheng's tactics were in operation. The players suppressed and actively pressed in the frontcourt, forcing Bochum to increase the rate of the ball, and thus the chance of making mistakes also increased.

"The key is Watts!" Yang Cheng said confidently.

Seeing the players on the court firmly implementing Yang Cheng's tactics, they all looked very excited, especially young players led by Barack and others, as well as Jucho and Yankoler, who even launched fierce fighting and interception in the midfield and frontcourt.

"What Bochum fears the most is the power-based team. In recent years, the power-based team has become popular in Germany, so Bochum cannot adapt and will frequently upgrade and relegate. But this time, I must tell them with facts that the German second-tier teams are also difficult to pinch!"

Bochum's technical skills give them a certain advantage in the Bundesliga, so they are ahead of the season, but in the Bundesliga, there are very few such advantages. However, now when Chemnitz uses a more active force and oppressive style to launch a crazy encirclement in the middle and frontcourt, Bochum suddenly has chaos.

"The scene started to be messy!" Paul and Bayer smiled.

Yang Cheng was also very satisfied with the players' performance and smiled and said, "The more chaotic the better!"

The three men who succeeded in their tricks suddenly laughed on the sidelines, and seemed to be sure to win the game.

Bochum players originally thought that Chemnits could only hold on to the opening few minutes, but what they could not have imagined was that after more than ten minutes passed, Chemnits still kept pressing without relaxing, especially their overall full-game pressing. No matter where the ball went, there would be Chemnits players in that place.

Just stop the ball and raise your head, and immediately find that at least two or three Chemnits are surrounding him, sometimes as many as four. This immediately makes Bochum players a little busy. After all, not everyone has the skills to fight against the crowd.

When a kick was passed to Darius, Watts's ball deviated slightly, and Jankoler retreated without any hesitation. He sprinted and stuck Darius and Watts with his body.

Next to the Czech giant who was more than 2 meters tall, Watts seemed so short that he couldn't squeeze Jankoler no matter how hard he squeezed behind him.

When Yang Cheng saw the two of them fighting for a moment on the sidelines, he burst into laughter. When he saw Thomas again and Stix Rose was about to step forward to defend, he immediately realized, "The opportunity is here!"

Paul, Bayer, Tim, and Hank also reacted immediately, and both of them focused on them.

"Pass, Jankol!" Yang Cheng murmured to himself.

As if he heard Yang Cheng's shouting, after Yankolle stopped the ball, he pressed Watts behind him. Seeing Stikros pressing up, he immediately chose to pass the ball diagonally. Barack inserted it from behind, took the ball and rushed forward again, directly passing a defensive player, and then calmly passed the ball straight behind him.

I don't know when Juqiao had already appeared in the most important position. When Barack made a straight pass, he immediately started. After receiving the ball, he poked it. The ball was blinded and rubbed the post and rolled into the goal.

"goal..." The live commentator almost pulled the sound as loud as possible.

At this moment, all the Bochum fans in the stands of the Ruhr Stadium were silent for 3 seconds, and then a deafening boo broke out, followed by a continuous boo!

"Good job, Torsen!" Yang Chengyi hugged Tim and Paul tightly, shoulder to shoulder, both of them were excited and excited, obviously very satisfied with Juqiao's goal.

"Chemnitz scored a goal in the first shot of this game, which was definitely beyond everyone's expectations, because this team actually led Bochum away. The contributor to the goal was former East German footballer Tosen and Gujo. He scored a total of 16 goals in the German second division last season. So far this season, plus this goal in this game, he scored 7, making him the number one scorer in Chemnitz's team!"

The live commentator was obviously surprised by this sudden goal. After all, Chemnitz seems to have not been ahead of his opponent this season. Now, just 17 minutes have passed, Chemnitz has scored the first goal, which is absolutely amazing, especially for the spirit that the players show on the field.

"Hi Heidi, Angel!"

At the headquarters of the famous model company in Hamburg, Heidi and Krum walked into the office with their assistant Angel. They heard the shouts of the football commentator from afar. The goal was very long.

"Have you scored a goal?" Angel asked from a distance.

"Yes, a very good goal!" The staff member who watched the game turned his head and smiled.

"Bundesliga or Bundesliga?" Angel walked over.

"Bernards second, Chemnitz challenged Bochum away!"

Angel came to the TV and stood still, frowned, "Is there any need to play?" Her first reaction was that Bochum, who played at home, scored a goal.

"I originally thought this was the case. If it weren't for the German Cup Hamburger vs. Bochum, I wouldn't care, but look..." The staff pointed to the score bars that were drawn on the screen.

"Oh my God, Chemnitz leads? I'm not mistaken?"

Heidi and Krum also finished talking about the matter. He heard Angel's surprise shout. She didn't care about anything else, and then heard Chemnitz. The first reaction in her mind was the dead guy who couldn't recognize her face to face, but he still walked over.

"Juqiao's goal and the assist of young player Barack. This goal is very simple, but it is very fatal. It should be premeditated. It seems that their Chinese head coach still has some strength!"

"Chinese head coach?" Heidi asked in dismay.

She has been busy with work recently and doesn't care much about football, so she doesn't know that there has been a storm in Chemnitz's appointment of a 23-year-old Chinese head coach.

"Look, it's just him, he is too young and quite handsome!" the staff member said with a smile.

In this model company where women are supreme, this male staff can only use this method to highlight the dignity of men by using Yang Cheng, a male compatriot on TV.

"Yang Cheng?" Heidi, Krum was shocked.

Angel also looked shocked, "I didn't expect that he would become Chemnitz's head coach and even go on TV!"

"This stinky guy... is always shocking!" Heidi cursed with a smile.
