Chapter 153 Friendship from Germany

Duisburg is an important industrial city in the Ruhr area of ​​western Germany, where the Ruhr River flows into the Rhine.

The only commercial city in the Middle Ages, it is now the largest river port in Europe and an important railway junction.

If it is only this attribute, then this German city is still quite unfamiliar to ordinary Chinese people.

The reason why this city really has an indissoluble bond with Huaguo lies in their sister city-Wuhan.

Duisburg and Wuhan became sister cities in 1982, when China's reform and opening up had just begun.

In the following years, the two cities kept in close contact, and Wuhan even gave Duisburg a Huaguo Garden—Yingqu Garden.

In 2014, the leaders of Huaguo visited Duisburg, which finally made it an important node of "one dai, one lu".

A few years later, when the sister city of Wuhan was attacked by the virus, Duisburg donated many anti-epidemic items immediately, including 16 medical gloves and 5.18 medical masks. They were the first city in Germany to donate anti-epidemic items to Wuhan.

The entire Cottbus team arrived in Duisburg one day earlier. When they arrived at the hotel where they stayed, they immediately received flowers from the hotel.

On the second morning, Duisburg city officials led the management of the Duisburg club to the hotel in person to welcome Cottbus.

The officials were not tall, but they looked very energetic. He held Yun Sheng's hand and said enthusiastically.

"Today we are not welcoming the top team in the Bundesliga, nor is it the famous young star coach. The reason why we face Cottbus with the highest courtesy is entirely because Coach Yunsheng is a Chinese! We are very close friends and brothers in Duisburg and Huaguo! So today the club sent me here to show respect to Coach Yunsheng and the three Huaguo players. May our friendship last forever!"

Hearing what the official said, Yun Sheng felt warm in his heart.

It is a rare situation to be respected by the Germans because of the identity of the Chinese nation.

In Germany, a country full of Germanic national emotions, Yun Sheng was very moved to receive this kind of treatment.

Before the start of the game, when Yunsheng led the whole team to appear at the MSV Arena in Duisburg, nearly [-] away fans gave Yunsheng warm applause.

Yun Sheng applauded the fans around him in return, his blood was boiling.

Sumad next to him was extremely admiring and speechless: "This is the prestige of a world-class head coach. Even the away fans are so warmly welcomed."

Although Sandor didn't make a sound, he also nodded secretly.

Duisburg coach Jurgen Koller stepped forward and shook hands with Yunsheng cordially: "Coach Yunsheng, it is really admirable that you can lead the team to eight consecutive Bundesliga victories this season."

Yun Sheng also politely replied: "Recently Duisburg has achieved three unbeaten games, and the state has improved. I believe that at the end of the season, they will be able to avoid relegation and stay in the Bundesliga. Maybe next season, Duisburg will also be able to win the first eight consecutive Bundesliga victories."

Koller smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your blessings..."

Yun Sheng's words were purely polite, and Koller also knew that this was absolutely impossible.

Last season, Duisburg entered the Bundesliga as No.2 in the Bundesliga.

But as of now, they are still ranked last in the league, and the relegation situation is not optimistic.

In the memory of the previous life, Duisburg still failed to relegation in the end of this season, and unfortunately fell into the second division of the Bundesliga.

Yun Sheng looked back at Shao Jiayi, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel about this team?"

"The atmosphere on the court looks good, and I don't feel anything else." Shaojia replied, "Coach, I'm going to warm up."

Seeing Shaojia running towards the court, Yun Sheng recalled the memories of his previous life.

In his previous life experience, Shao Jiayi left Cottbus after the end of his contract in 2011, and finally joined Duisburg, which was also his last stop in the Bundesliga.

In this life, Shaojiayi's strength has greatly increased, so maybe he won't repeat the previous experience again.

In today's game, Yunsheng still sent all the main players.

4-4-2 formation, goalkeeper Hildebrand, defenders from left to right are Vaxmut, Kukirka, Da Silva and Ipsa, four midfielders from left to right are Shaojiayi, Li Tie, Sauer and Yu Hai, forwards are Adriano and Cassano.The seven substitute players are: Tremer, Fick, Zvitanovic, Lyle Hill, Rost, Shaheen and Tretko.

This is already the strongest lineup that Yunsheng can field.

Facing No. 1 from the bottom of the Bundesliga, although it is an away game, Cottbus is confident and must win!

From the first minute of this game, Cottbus launched a fierce attack.

There is no physical problem of double matches in a week, no injury problem, Cottbus will fight for the victory with all his strength!

Adriano and Cassano are in a good state today. The two of them gave wonderful performances again and again.

Sauer and Shao Jiayi also performed very steadily today. Their passes created many good opportunities, and Adriano and Cassano ate their cakes until they vomited.

Yu Hai was also very active on the right, continuously using his speed and technique to gain breakthrough opportunities. Schroeder in the live broadcast room repeatedly exclaimed, "Hua Guo Robben is back in the world!"

Li Tie still performed steadily today. His large-scale sweep of the midfield made it almost impossible for the Duisburg players to pass the halftime.

Hildebrand and several defenders felt very deserted...

Unfortunately, Cottbus failed to score until the end of the first half.

Back in the locker room, Yun Sheng hastily made emergency arrangements.

Judging from the situation in the first half of the game, Cottbus's defense was fine, and Duisburg was unable to attack at all. He replaced Li Tie with the young Shaheen, let Shaheen and Sauer stand in parallel, and asked Sauer to be mainly responsible for organizing the offense and properly undertaking defensive tasks. In this way, Cottbus has formed the strongest offensive lineup so far.

Yun Sheng also asked the two full-backs Waxmoot and Ipsa to press boldly in the second half and provide more support to the midfield.

After the start of the second half, Cottbus still suppressed Duisburg very violently.

After the two full-backs gradually pressed up, Duisburg's defensive pressure became even greater. Their defense line was completely overwhelmed near the penalty area at one point, and the goal was tightly blocked by a bus.

And because of the support from the side, Adriano and Cassano got more opportunities on the front line. After more than 20 minutes in the second half, neither Adriano nor Cassano got no fewer than five chances to attack the goal!
