Rear four [from left to right]: Dimmitas, Nowitzki, Subotic and Hogland

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Gunkel, Calhan, Pekovic and Foylner

Two strikers: Gu Zhen and Borja

That's the starting line-up for both teams today, with players from both sides already standing in the stadium waiting for the game to begin.

Gu Zhen stood in the middle circle, his hands on his waist, and looked down at the football.

Borja bent down to straighten his socks and shin guards, then got up and looked up at the opposite goal, his gaze full of determination.

Borja said: "Later, you can run as much as you can, interspersed as much!" ”

Gu Zhen bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

This is also his favorite way to play, he is the freest one in the attack, and his movement is very erratic, so that the opposing defenders cannot find North.

Sometimes I can't find my teammates in the north!

Yes, Gu Zhen felt this way in the Mainz team.

Don't look at Gu Zhen has scored so many goals, in fact, he thinks that the cooperation between him and his teammates is not very perfect. Sometimes, his teammates' passes and assists can't keep up with his pace, and many times he runs out of space, but his teammates' abilities and reflexes can't send the ball over.

Overall, the ability of the Mainz players is still a bit off.

If Gu Zhen really went to a giant like Bayern Munich, there was a group of people around him who were more conscious, had better foot skills, had stronger control over football, and had a stronger ability to capture opportunities, Gu Zhen would perform better.

To put it bluntly, Gu Zhen is still a system striker.

He still needs the support of his team-mates and needs his team-mates to create chances for him to be able to convert them into goals. He dribbles the ball to create chances, and his ability to challenge the opponent's direction is still too weak.

He dribbles the ball himself, and at most he can use his speed to get rid of the opponent's defense and create opportunities when he is quickly counterattacking.

Anyway, Gu Zhen's ability is still limited now, and there are many shortcomings.

However, Gu Zhen is still young and has a lot of room for growth.

If he goes to the big team now, it will also have some benefits for him. With a group of good teammates, he will improve faster.

Of course, the premise is that he can get the opportunity to play for the giants, otherwise it will be for nothing.

Gu Zhen turned his head to Borha and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do!" ”

Borja nodded in understanding.

He has been partnering with Gu Zhen for so long, he knows Gu Zhen's temperament, Gu Zhen said this, he wouldn't mess around, and he didn't want other young players. Therefore, Borha still admires Gu Zhen very much.

The most important thing is that Gu Zhenhuo is on fire, this guy didn't float.

It's a good guy.

Honk!

At this moment, the referee of the game blew the whistle for the start of the game.

The first to kick off was the away team Mainz.

As soon as Gu Zhen drove the football out, tens of thousands of Cologne fans on the scene suddenly shouted in unison: "Cologne will win, Cologne is the champion!" ”

The sound is uniformly like a person's voice, but the decibel of this sound is indeed tens of thousands of people burst out at the same decibels, which is really very scary.

The sound exploded like a thunderbolt over the Rheinland Energy Stadium - boom!

Gu Zhendu was taken aback, and his feet were a little slippery.

Fortunately, it was stabilized, and the football was passed out early, otherwise it would really be a foreign appearance.

Gu Zhen turned his head and glanced at the stands, these Cologne fans are really capable of doing things! Is this going to give our Mainz team a dismount?

Gu Zhen shook his head slightly, it's useless to engage in so many vain things, winning the game ultimately depends on strength.

He immediately turned around and ran quickly towards the Cologne penalty area.

The ball had rolled quickly to the wing, and Hogland had come up on the flank, overpowering the middle. What the Mainz team needs in this game is to win, so as soon as it comes up, it will be more fierce and directly pressed.

Attacking and defending, they had to withstand Cologne's attacks in midfield and keep the centre of the field away from their penalty area.

This side of the game has begun, and the other Bundesliga matches in this round have also kicked off at the same time.

Yes, the last two rounds of the Bundesliga are all kicked off at the same time, and the tacit goal will be avoided in the future.

Now Borussia Mönchengladbach's side is also attacking like crazy against Freiburg.

It's all for three points.

"Nice slanted plug, Borja in front has a chance!" Roy suddenly roared excitedly.

Hogland and Foylna on the flanks came in two one-twos, and suddenly Hogaland shoved the ball into Borja in front of him with a diagonal kick.

Somewhat dangerous!

The players of the Cologne team are aware of the danger!

McKenna immediately moved forward to Borja while blocking Borja's shot with his body. He was also calling on his companions to keep the defensive line tight and not to leave room for Borja to break through.

Who knows that Borja has no intention of breaking through at all, nor does he mean to fight with McKenna.

Borja kept the ball and knocked the ball back with his heel, and the ball rolled straight to the edge of the penalty area.

"Gu Zhen! Gu Zhen shoots from a distance! Roy immediately roared, his voice raised an octave.

Just over a minute into the game, the Mainz team, which took the initiative to press the attack, got the first chance. At this time, the fans of the Cologne team have not yet fully entered the state, and after the shout just now, everyone is a little relaxed.

At this moment, Gu Zhen suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and the football that rolled out was a heavy artillery. With a bang, the ball shot like a cannonball into the Cologne goal.

The ball was really fast, and it blew past McKenna like a gust of wind.

McKenna's face turned pale: "Danger! ”

The veteran goalkeeper in front of goal, Mondragon, made a quick pounce to the left side, put his hands straight on his body and desperately blocked the near post.

With a bang, the football flew out of the bottom line against the post and smashed the billboard behind it.

"Oops! It's a pity, it's a pity. What a good opportunity, Gu Zhen missed the opportunity to get a dream start, and this goal was a little bit worse! Roy shook his head.

It's a pity that it's just a little bit off.

At the scene, the fans of the Mainz team shook their heads one after another, expressing great regret. And the fans of the Cologne team are relieved, if this is a 0-1 deficit as soon as it comes up, then this game will be difficult to play.

Gu Zhen held his head in his hands and shook his head incessantly, very sorry.

Borja ran over and patted Gu Zhen on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

To be honest, the ball was already well shot, it just lacked some luck.

In front of the goal, Mondragon, the veteran goalkeeper of the Colombian national team, stood up and immediately shouted at the big penalty area: "Protect! Protect your lower back! How can he be allowed to stand on his feet in that position? All cheered up and followed! ”

Antar, the core of the Lebanese national team's midfield, immediately nodded in understanding.

Mondragon gave Antar a thumbs up before going back to catch the ball and ready to kick off the goal.

"At the beginning of the game, the Mainz team showed a very strong desire to win, I think this game is very dramatic, this one will definitely win!" Roy said.

Lowy and Klopp have partnered for a long time, after all, Klopp was once a commentator on German TV 2, so Lowy still has to support Klopp more.

With a bang, Mondragon kicked the football out with a hard kick.

The football flew into the sky at a rapid pace, directly over the half-court and into the Mainz half.

The Mainz half was already full of people.

Subotic jumped high and threw the ball straight above the head of the 192cm-tall Slovenian international Novakovic, and the ball flew forward.

Calhan stopped the ball on his chest and picked it up with ease, picking the ball directly behind him.

With a bang, Karhan was brought to the ground by Cologne midfielder Broch, and the referee blew for a foul and came up directly to give Broch a yellow card.

Brogge and the Cologne players were stunned.

"The game had just begun, and Cologne's midfield core Broch received a yellow card. This will have a greater impact on the Cologne team, and the Cologne team is in danger! Roy said immediately.

Brogge immediately rushed to the referee's side and explained.

Unfortunately, the referee ignored it at all and motioned for Brogch to step away, and the game was about to restart.

Broch is naturally very, very aggrieved, but there is no way.

Mainz were awarded a free-kick but unfortunately it was too far from goal. Pekovic pushed the ball directly to the wing, and Gunkel on the wing received the ball and slowly dribbled forward. Facing the Cologne defence, he suddenly turned around and pulled the ball back.

The pass was passed back to full-back Dimitas, who started today in place of the injured Rose.

Dimetas is not stage frightened at all and is very positive.

After receiving the ball, he accelerated sharply and rushed past Cologne full-back Scholz. Then he accelerated sharply, sprinted down the flank, and sprinted towards the Cologne half.

Cologne full-back Schöneberg immediately stepped up to intercept Dimitas.

Dimmitas suddenly passed the ball back, and he sped up to the edge and rushed past Schöneberg. Schöneberg was startled and immediately stopped and turned around, and chased Dimittas at a high speed.

Who knew that Gunkel, who received the ball, did not push the bottom line, but suddenly got up and crossed horizontally, and the football rolled to the middle.

The football came to Pekovic's feet, and he immediately sent the football forward, because Gu Zhen was rapidly retreating and responding. Gu Zhen did not stop the ball, but directly passed the football back to Pekovic, and he just made a transition.

Pekovic suddenly crossed diagonally and sent the ball to Dimitas, who was on the wing.

At this point, Schöneberg was a little attracted to the middle, neglecting the defense on the flanks and giving Dimmitas a chance. Dimetas stopped the ball, swayed from side to side, then suddenly accelerated his kickback, shook off the defense, and crossed with his feet.

Gu Zhen quickly stepped back and grabbed in front of McKenna, a tall central defender with a height of 192cm, to meet the ball and head the goal.

With a bang, the ball whistled and flew into the bottom right corner of the goal.

The Cologne fans were scared to death!

Fortunately, the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the outside of the post, and the Cologne team escaped.

Gu Zhen's legs rolled limply in the forbidden area!

With only five minutes to play, he had two shots on goal and the ball grazed the posts on both sides and rolled off the line.

That's bad luck, isn't it?
