Berlin on May 11 was a blue sky.After a year's hiatus, the Olympic Stadium in Berlin once again welcomed the FA Cup champions and runners-up final.Since last year's Union Berlin, an amateur team in the Northern League, reached the final and lost 0-2 to the old powerhouse Schalke 04, there has been no shortage of regret among ordinary fans.An amateur team is not as good as the value of a star on the other side but can beat the opponent and pass all the way, this kind of extremely inspirational deeds everyone likes.Unfortunately, there is a world of difference between professional and amateur teams, and in more than 60 years since the German Cup was held in 1935, there has never been a history of an amateur team beating a professional team to win the championship.This year coincided.Not only did Schalke 04 reach the final of the German Cup again, but the other final opponent was also an amateur team, but last year it was the Union Berlin in the northern division, and finally lost unfortunately, and this year it was replaced by Tübingen Youth in the southern division, taking over the baton to attack the throne.The youth of Tübingen, although far away in southern Germany, attracted a lot of attention from Berlin fans.Even the proud citizens of the German capital admit that this team is far stronger than the Union Berlin.They have as many as seven teams that have played in the Bundesliga, and despite their age, these players are once professionals.What's even more daunting is that even though they are in the regional leagues, none of these former professional players are the main players, and the age structure of the main players is very good, just 20 years old.The main striker, this year's top scorer in the southern division is from China's Ousen, who is just 25 years old, the second scorer is also the silver boot winner of the southern division's scorer list, Allison is just 20 years old, and the main forward from Hanover, Mertesacker, is just 18 years old, the left midfielder is from China, the doctor of philosophy from the University of Tübingen in China is just 15 years old, and the right midfielder on the other side, Ozil from Gelsenkirchen, is just 14 years old!
Many Berlin fans were in a trance when they got the list of players from both sides on the sports page of Bild, this is really not the youth team or the youth team?
Looking at the resumes of the players in the core report, I know that among the three young players, Dr.
China is the assist leader in the southern division this season, Hannover's Mertesacker is third in the assist list, and the youngest Ozil is ninth in the assist list, but fifth in the Goalscorer Gang.What's even better is that the youngest player in the team is actually from Gelsenkirchen, and Schalke 04 is Gelsenkirchen's team.According to the fierce information dug up by some reporters, the teenager was rejected four times when he was struggling to get into Schalke 04, and then he left Tübingen, and burst out with a strong attacking force, and was even praised as Germany's youngest international by Klinsmann, who was far away across the ocean and had not touched football for many years, even if the German national team did not consider calling him up at all.As speculated, Ozil has been looking forward to this final for a long time!
He had never had such intense, intense emotions.There is no hatred, the club has the right to want or not to have a player, but Ozil never thinks it is because he is not strong enough.Facing the idols of childhood and youth, facing the humiliation of being rejected coldly, and facing today's shining self.Mesut Ozil decided to teach his hometown team a lesson with his actions.Xu Genbao noticed Ozil's abnormal mood and deliberately shared a seat with Ozil on the plane to Berlin.It may be due to his age, or it may be because of the opening of a football school, in short, Xu Genbao is very fond of this young genius.A moderate amount of excitement is necessary in the face of a big competition, but excessive excitement is prone to serious problems.In fact, if it weren't for the dream of coaching a foreign team, Xu Genbao would not have come to Germany at all.He is not very concerned about winning or losing the German Cup, and he is more worried about Ozil's over-excitement and poor performance on the field, which will dampen his self-confidence or over-protrude and be taken care of by his opponents.No matter how strong you are, you are only 14 years old, and if you have a birthday, you will not yet be 14, but you can play in the Southern Division until now.Even this is thanks to Wang Ai and the club's targeted strength training and nutritional adjustment for Ozil, which has made his body a lot stronger.The young people of Tübingen, who had arrived in Berlin a day earlier, got used to the venue, and left the hotel at 7 p.m. to board the bus to the Berlin Olympic Stadium.This modern course is actually very old, and this year is a full 90 years old.In 1912, when the construction began, there was still an emperor in Germany, it was called Deutsche Stade at that time, and later the Führer rebuilt it and changed its name to the Imperial Stadium, which was abolished several times after World War II, but it was finally retained, and after several reconstructions, it became a landmark in Berlin.Half of the reason why the participants of the German Cup used "March to Berlin" as a slogan was because of the stadium.90 years, the memory of several generations, the condensation of all the history of Germany since World War I and World War II, after several ups and downs, witnessing generations of great people, stars, teams, this stadium has a special emotional imprint in German society.At 7:30 p.m., the home and away teams lined up in the players' tunnel, and after being appeased by the old and spicy Mr.
Kimbos, the young people of Tübingen were full of fighting spirit, but they were not too nervous, and the younger generation of players such as Wang Ai, Ozil and Mertesacker had not experienced too much in life, but looked around with great curiosity, and this was the first time they had come here.On the contrary, the mentality of the older players is quite unstable, and Favre, who is at the top of the team, is a little uncarious.Seeing that he is about to retire, he actually has the opportunity to come here to play the final of the German Cup??
I never dreamed of such a beautiful end!
My teammates, my opponents, and the bastards who watched the game on TV today, if they could remember what I looked like, would they jump in horror when they saw my old face?
Haha, I have it today!
Equally excited with Fevre are a group of 35-year-old guys, the pinnacle of their careers was only playing in the Bundesliga for a few years, even if I bragged to Ozil and others, at most I was favored by the Bundesliga team and almost played in the Bundesliga.But in the German Cup final, they never played.The closest thing is to play a third- or fourth-place final here.Music plays in the stadium and both sides enter.The 70,000-strong Olympic Stadium in Berlin was packed.The stadium is brightly lit at night, and anyone who sets foot on such a large stadium for the first time, such a historic and special landmark, will have the urge to "I am the king of the world" on the verdant turf.Bai Guanghai is not conspicuous in the middle of the team, even if the on-site commentary uses a lot of effort to introduce the shooter king, he is not very excited, after all, it is an amateur league, and the scorer king's results are nothing in front of Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.Facing the audience with flickering lights and black shadows, Bai Guanghai half-tilted his head and closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths, this is my stage!
