The preliminaries of the German Cup are participated by all teams below the third division. It is a single-elimination competition system. 56 teams are selected by pulling the flagpole from the chopsticks, and then mixed with the 36 teams from the second division and the third division, playing two by two.

In the knockout round, the 46 winning teams and the 18 teams in the first division total 64 teams. These 64 teams are the main competition of the German Cup, using a home and away elimination system until the champion is determined.

Madibao Club does not pay much attention to this competition. It is just an amateur team. Strictly speaking, whether it is in the eighth or ninth level, they are not interested in asking. The team has to leave early in the morning and arrive at noon, and will immediately finish the game in the afternoon.

It was already evening when we got home, and we were very tired from traveling all the way. Not only did Zhuo Yang not go with the team to compete because he had classes, but most of the main players didn't go either. Coach Klopp only took Mertesacker with him, and there were a bunch of others.

Only fifteen members of the youth team went to play games. The others continued to do daily training on the peninsula under the leadership of assistant coach Edwin Woolf.

Stanley Fox, head coach of the first team of Madiburg Club, is an old-school German coach who pays attention to physical confrontation, formation and tactical discipline. His playing style emphasizes restrictions and restrictions on the playing space. This traditional playing style requires strong players.

The impact and fighting ability require strong physical fitness and tenacious will. On the contrary, it does not require much technology and ball control, just enough is enough.

A large number of veteran coaches like Stanley Fox are very opposed to the current technical movement in German football. They believe that technical sports are only played by the weaklings in Southern Europe, such as Spain, Portugal, and France.

German football has always been synonymous with discipline and efficiency. Before it became technologically advanced, Germany still won three world championships and three European championships, and still beat the crap out of other southern European countries.

For this reason, Stanley Fox looked down upon Jurgen Klopp's technical control-flow style of play in the youth team, and was very cold-eyed towards Klopp himself. Only a young man who knows how to play a hammer should be considered a great player.

How many days have you been a coach? You just follow the trend and try to impress people. Stanley Fox doesn’t even look down on the players in the youth team, because they are all selected by Klopp. They are all as weak and inexperienced as little girls. They can stand up to

Used for hair.

Coaches like Stanley Fox like to select players with fully mature bodies and minds. They believe that the age of the team's main lineup should be 27, 8, or even 30 years old before a player reaches his peak.

Age group. The average age of the Madibao first team is twenty-seven years old, and the main lineup is over twenty-nine years old.

In fact, the two years from 2002 to 2003 were a watershed for German football coaches. Before that, German football was dominated by old-school traditional coaches. After that, young new coaches began to emerge, and a large number of new coaches like

Klopp, Voller, Klinsmann, Loew, and other very young coaching stars. They have flexible thinking, strong receptivity, and a thorough understanding of advanced football concepts, quickly eliminating those old antiques who cling to tradition.

Those who cling to their shortcomings without thinking about progress will sooner or later be eliminated by the wheel of history and reality.

Yesterday morning, the club chairman Mr. Mullen talked to Stanley Fox. After learning about some of the first team's situation, he reminded him to pay attention to Zhuoyang of the youth team and several other young players. However, Stanley did not do anything at all.

Seriously. How good can a Chinese play football? However, the president of the club still needs to be given some face. It’s okay, just come over and take a look.

The training in the afternoon was mainly about adjustments and doing some small-scale coordination exercises. Zhuo Yang still adhered to the principle of not breaking through if he could not defeat others. He only passed the ball with Xiaozhu and a few others to practice tacit understanding. The training was even mostly playful.

Looking at it this way, all the training seems childish, and Zhuo Yang is even better than everyone else, without any outstanding points.

Coach Stanley Fox looked at it for a while, snorted coldly, turned around and left. "What the hell? Free and undisciplined, without headers and confrontations, such a player and such a team can become famous, unless it is God.

Blind." He didn't realize that his youth team had no losses in the league, while his first team had no wins.

Coach Stanley Fox is blind!

And Zhuo Yang didn't know about all this.

The small team led by coach Klopp went to the away game and easily won the game 2:o. Carl Rand's long shot and Per Mertesacker's header contributed. After all, they are an amateur team and are pitiful for weaklings.

——————

On Sunday, November 3, 2002, in the tenth round of the regional league, Madibao Youth Team challenged Aurich away.

Zhuo Yang was still the same in this game. At the 11th minute of the game, he received De Jong's second pass. After passing the defender, he scored the first point with a stab shot. The score was 1:o.

Nine minutes later, the Aurich team got a corner kick. Zhuoyang returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense. He was pressed by the home team's high center and scored a goal above his head. The score was 1:1. The Aurich team equalized the score.

In the 30th minute, Zhuo Yan once again staged a long-distance attack, passing three people and scoring the second goal alone. The score was rewritten to 2:1, and the Madibao Youth Team took the lead again.

In the 41st minute, Montolivo stole the ball in the midfield and passed it back to Zhuo Yang. Zhuo Yang made a light through ball. De Jong made a diagonal pass and faced the goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the far corner to score another victory.

The score was 3:1, and the Madibao Youth Team expanded its advantage.

In the 52nd minute of the second half of the game, after Zhuoyang and Xiaozhu played a one-two in a row, their shot in the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper. Piggy Schweinsteiger, who reacted very quickly, deftly made a supplementary shot into the goal. Score

4:1, the overall situation of the game has been decided.

In the 63rd minute, when Zhuo Yang competed with the opponent for a high-altitude ball in the midfield, he did not hit the right position. The ball was snatched by an Aurich player for the second point, and they launched a quick counterattack. The right winger scored a point with a long shot from outside the penalty area.

4:2.

Zhuo Yang was then replaced by Duke Motley.

There was an unpleasant scene when he came off the field. Zhuo Yang stretched out his hand to give Duke a high-five, but Duke pretended not to notice and ran straight into the court. Zhuo Yang shrugged indifferently, but Klopp frowned when he saw this scene.

He raised his eyebrows.

After coming off the field, Zhuoyang said nothing and sat silently, not knowing what he was thinking. His performance today was very good, with two goals and two assists, which was completely star level, but Zhuoyang was still a little depressed.

After Zhuoyang left the field, the Madibao youth team scored two more goals. In the 77th minute, Montolivo volleyed from a small angle and scored. In stoppage time, Scar Ribery received the piggy kick.

He took a free kick in the frontcourt, turned around and hit the goal with a volley, setting the score at 6:2.

Another big win.

On the bus back, Zhuoyang was still not in high spirits, and the six gentlemen in the nightclub were confused. Xiaozhu came over and asked, "Zhuo, what's so deep about? Is it because of that bastard Duke? How about I talk to Per and the others?"

Say, go back and find some excuse to beat him up?"

"What's wrong with Duke?" Zhuo Yang had already forgotten the unpleasantness of the substitution.

"..." Xiaozhu was a little confused. "Isn't the grandson setting things up for you?"

"Hey, you're talking about this!" Zhuo Yang then remembered that there was another incident.

"Then why are you? You are not in harmony with Raisa? She won't let you go to bed?" Xiaozhu's lustful gossip ignited.

"Risa and I are getting along well." Zhuo Yang suddenly became happy when mentioning Risakova. "Stop talking about it, come on, little pig, come and give me a smile!"

Only Klopp looked at Zhuoyang and smiled thoughtfully, like a magic stick.

In fact, Zhuoyang's boredom was entirely due to the fact that in the game just now, he found that his heading skills were too poor. The two goals conceded by the team were both related to his header errors. Zhuoyang, who was born in wild football, has never practiced

Overhead ball, because all problems he could solve with both feet until this game.

Zhuo Yang was thinking that it was time to train his heading. For professional matters, he decided to ask professionals for advice after he went back.

It's too late today. The team will be disbanded when we get back. Let's wait until training resumes tomorrow. Zhuo Yang thinks this way, and he is not a person who can't hold his breath.

This week is a double match. The Madiburg youth team will face Barnstorf at home on Thursday, and then face the Braunschweig red and white youth team at home on Sunday. So the training this week is also quite messy.

There is no holiday on Monday, just regular adjustments, tactical training on Tuesday and Wednesday, game on Thursday, rest on Friday, adjustments on Saturday, and then game again on Sunday.

After returning to the dormitory in the evening, Zhuo Yang and Rysakova talked on the phone for half an hour. After being filled with tenderness and sweetness, they fell asleep sweetly.

The next afternoon, after coming out of the locker room, Zhuo Yang first approached Klopp and told him his problem.

"In football, heading is a very important skill." Klopp began a long speech. "There is no professional player who doesn't know anything about heading, including those top stars who are known for their skills. And heading

Ball skills include personal skills and point grabbing skills. Personal skills are divided into front and side, in-situ and run-up, while point grabbing skills are divided into judgment and position selection. Zhuo, your jumping power is very good, your jumping height is high, and you can stay in the air.

Your ability is also very strong, but because you have not specifically trained in heading skills, you have not fully utilized this advantage of yours."

"What you have to do now is to start from the most basic training, just like training the skills of your feet, starting from the ball with the head, then ferrying, rushing to the top, etc. You have to do it step by step, don't be impatient. You have to practice your physical fitness like you

Same, train hard, and then improve step by step. I believe that heading will become another trump card for you in the future."

"In terms of basic training, you can ask Pell to help you. His heading skills are very good and very standard." Mertesacker is a central defender with a professional background, and his heading skills have certainly been carefully refined.

"Per, come here." Klopp called Mertesacker. "You show Zhuo how to hit the ball with your head."

Ten minutes later, Klopp and Mertesacker looked at Zhuoyang in horror, just like the six soldiers on the playground of the military academy when Zhuoyang was four years old.

Zhuo Yang was bumping the football with his head, and he was using three parts in turn, the forehead, the left side, and the right side. Just like this, he was bumping the ball one position at a time, and the football was very obedient and kept jumping in the three parts.

Zhuoyang's head moved back and forth, like a skunk on the lookout.

"Have you really... never... practiced heading a ball?"

Klopp and Mertesacker, who recovered from the shock, made an immediate decision. Mertesacker continued to accompany Zhuoyang in training the basic movements of heading skills and taught him the relevant basic knowledge. Klopp went to

Find some game video data of world football stars who are famous for their header ability, and let Zhuoyang figure it out for himself.

From this day on, Zhuo Yang's additional training included another content.

The next day, Klopp brought a DVD with information on three stars. Oliver Bierhoff, Miroslav Klose, and Filippo Inzaghi!

Oliver Bierhoff, a former German international, is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms. Bierhoff once scored the golden goal in the final and also defeated Ronaldo in his heyday.

Miroslav Klose, Germany's current international, is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 81 kilograms. In the World Cup in Japan and South Korea that just ended in the summer, Klose scored 5 goals on behalf of the German team, all of which were headers.

Are you afraid of the attack?

Filippo Inzaghi, the Italian international, is 1.81 meters tall and weighs 74 kilograms. He walks on the offside line and lives on the razor's edge. His genes contain an unparalleled sense of the movement of football. Inzaghi is a football player.

What a genius!

The three stars Klopp introduced to Zhuo Yang represent the pinnacle of the header skills of contemporary offensive players in football. Bierhoff has the best overhead technique, and Inzaghi is the best master of grabbing points.

Luo Ze's body shape is closer to Zhuo Yang and is the most reference.

That night, Zhuo Yang returned to his dormitory, turned on his computer, and after replying to all the messages saying he was safe, he inserted the DVD and started watching it carefully.

The most obvious thing about Oliver Bierhoff is that he is domineering. His headers are often powerful and heavy, with a hard bridge and a hard horse. Bierhoff will stand up from the ground among a group of defenders, causing the opponent to stagger.

After that, he hit a headbutt, which was unstoppable. The whole action was arrogant, brave, and powerful.
