I Just Can Score

Chapter 189: A 15-minute hat-trick

Sacco entered the starting list.

Freiberg, who has been in the first team for more than half a season, only entered the squad. If he has to wait for opportunities on the bench, he may become a fan sitting on the bench.

Freberg is out of balance!

Until the team disbanded and the players returned to the locker room, packing up their things and preparing to go back, Freberg continued to complain to Kruse, "The coach should let me start!"

"This kind of game, and amateur teams, I should start no matter what I think... How can Sakho start? He just entered the first team. You also started..."

"I didn't start."

Zhen Shaolong gave Freberg some comfort, but he immediately realized, "Our situation is different! The coach wants you to rest, I really have no chance!"

Freberg's performance, almost crying, is really distressing to watch.

Too bad he didn't get sympathy.

Zhen Shaolong, Kruse, and even Sacco all know Freberg too well. This guy can't be said to be a bad guy or a scum, but his character is really not that good.

In addition, Freberg does not start, and it has nothing to do with Sacco. They are not players in the same position at all. Cozmore replaced him.

Cozmore was a free signing in late August.

Cozmore is 26 years old, and he was playing for Schalke 04 before. Because he couldn't play for a long time, he played four or five times a season, and his contract expired, so he chose to join St. Pauli.

Cozmore is not well-known, but his strength and experience are not bad. His position is in the midfielder, he can organize the attack in the midfield, he can also play on the right wing, and he can also play as a shadow forward.

Many people in the team said that Cozmore would be Zhen Shaolong's backup.

This is also normal.

During the summer transfer period, eight players left St. Pauli's roster, leaving only three strikers, and only Zhen Shaolong as the second striker. What if Zhen Shaolong gets injured or is not in good condition?

Although there are teammates who can play as a guest forward, there is no stable substitute. Cozmore is still the kind of jack-of-all-trades player who can replace several positions in the frontcourt. Bergman naturally hopes that Cozmore can play to find his status .

As for Freiberg...

Freiberg is a key player trained by the St. Pauli club.

He is also an iconic player in St. Pauli's youth training, but he plays in the core midfielder. If he wants to perform well, he needs experience and ability.

This is the case with professional leagues.

For events like the Bundesliga, good results are more important than experienced players. Bergman's first consideration is to let the team get better results.

All Freiberg could do was wait.

————

The first round of the German Cup officially started.

The match between Westphalia and St. Pauli at home has also begun. Westphalia is an amateur team that participates in the German Northern League. It is at the same level as the St. Pauli youth team, and its strength is not bad. imagined.

St. Pauli didn't care about the game from top to bottom.

In the eyes of many people, even with a substitute lineup, it is not comparable to Westphalia, but sometimes strength may not necessarily translate into goals.

Westphalia's defense cannot be described as 'excellent', but their players are tough on the field, and their home games are watched by more than 5,000 fans, which seems to make their players full of motivation.

Relying on strength and cooperation, St. Pauli gained a certain advantage, but it was Westphalia who scored the first goal. They relied on a free kick, and a tall defender scored the goal with a header.

"1 to 0, Westphalia took the lead!"

This goal made the Westphalia fans in the surrounding stands very excited. They are very much looking forward to the team's victory over the Bundesliga opponents, which is also an honor.

If you want to beat your Bundesliga opponents with one goal, you still think too much.

St. Pauli played pretty well. They kept finding chances on offense and didn't give their opponents any chances on defense. Sacco, who started the field, was also very active. He frequently competed for headers in the penalty area and became the obvious highlight of the game.

In the thirty-seventh minute of the game, Sakho made a strong shot in the penalty area and almost scored a goal, but the opponent's goalkeeper still saved the ball out of the baseline.

Kruse sent a corner kick, Cozmore headed to Bol in the penalty area, and Bol kicked the goal from the outside to help St. Pauli equalize the score.

1 to 1.

The first half ended in a draw.

This score is difficult to satisfy St. Pauli. When the head coach Bergman returned to the locker room, his face was not very good-looking. He played against an amateur team and lost at halftime. The striker played well. The first Sacco, who represented the team for the first time, was very active in the penalty area.

But that alone is still unsatisfactory.

Westphalia is only a team in the regional league. The St. Pauli youth team played in the regional league and played against teams in the regional league. Their performance was not too shining. It was too difficult to keep up with the intensity of the Bundesliga.

Bergmann continuously pointed out several problems in the front, middle and back lines, and also focused on the defense. It would be a shame to let Westphalia score a goal.

second half.

St. Pauli continued to launch an offensive, but the situation of gaining momentum and not scoring lasted for nearly 20 minutes, which also made the home team fans in the stands very excited. They expected the team to continue to delay. It is best to take the opportunity to score another one and eliminate St. Pauli It couldn't be better.

Bergman felt that his patience had reached its limit, he turned his head to look at the bench, and directly clicked on Zhen Shaolong's name.

"Zhen, go warm up!"

After hearing this, Zhen Shaolong went to the sidelines to warm up.

In the 69th minute of the game, St. Pauli made a substitution adjustment, and Zhen Shaolong replaced Cozmore.

Seeing Zhen Shaolong's appearance, the stadium broadcaster couldn't help becoming worried, "The one who is playing now is the No. 13 Zhen Shaolong of St. Pauli. He is a Chinese player. He is only 19 years old this year. But since the new season, he has performed very well in the Bundesliga. Now he has participated in four rounds and scored five goals, ranking first in the Bundesliga scorer list."

"There is no doubt that Zhen Shaolong's purpose of playing is to score goals."

Zhen Shaolong also knew what he was doing.

After entering the arena, he rushed to the front immediately, and greeted Sacco, "Be careful and pass it if there is a good opportunity!"

Saco was a little confused.

The whole team has two forwards, one is him and the other is Zhen Shaolong. In theory, he is a center forward. Shouldn't he shoot when he has the ball?

Why pass it on?

Shouldn't Zhen Shaolong pass the ball to himself?

When Sakho couldn't figure it out, Zhen Shaolong had already thrown himself into the game. Westphalia is indeed an amateur team, and the strength of the defense can be felt.

When participating in the Bundesliga, no matter where Zhen Shaolong stands, there will be someone around him to mark him. The defensive steals are very large, and other players on the other side will also pay attention to blocking the passing route.

Westphalia didn't have this awareness, and they didn't even deal with it specifically.

When Zhen Shaolong came to the frontcourt, sometimes there were defensive players next to him, and sometimes there were not. It was much easier to receive the pass, and naturally there would be many opportunities.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong only played for three minutes. He was at the front of the penalty area and received a cross pass from Bol.

He can also take a kick to the side, make adjustments and then swing his foot to shoot.

The football goes to the left of the goal.

The quality of the ball was very high, but it was a pity that it was blocked by the opponent's defender halfway, and the football flew out of bounds.

But it doesn't matter.

Just one minute later, Kruse made a cross from the baseline, and Zhen Shaolong snatched a spot in the penalty area and tiptoed the ball.

Under the effect of "Kill", the football rushed to the goal quickly.

1 to 2!

"Zhen Shaolong! He played for only four minutes and helped St. Barry overtake the score!"

Seeing Zhen Shaolong complete the goal, Bergman couldn't help but let out a long breath, and sighed to the assistant coach, "We still have to rely on Zhen! He can score goals as soon as he comes out!"

"Yeah, others..."

The assistant coach couldn't help shaking his head. In the first 70 minutes, he got countless opportunities in the frontcourt, but only scored one goal. His ability to seize opportunities was too poor.

Zhen Shaolong played four minutes and scored a goal with two shots.

The efficiency gap is too obvious!

After Zhen Shaolong scored the goal, his expression was very calm, he didn't even think about celebrating, he just had a warm hug with Sacco who ran over, but it seemed that Sacco was even more excited than him.

The stadium broadcaster couldn't help but praise, "Zhen Shaolong really has the style of a general! To him, scoring goals seems to be a very common thing..."

Zhen Shaolong really felt that scoring goals was easy.

The opponent's defense is too bad!

For a normal striker, even a top striker, scoring goals still requires luck and performance, but he uses a few useful skills, as long as he uses these skills, the opponent's goal is simply defenseless for him.

He felt a little bullied.

"The coach asked me to play, it's really unfair to the opponent!" Zhen Shaolong sighed, he not only sighed, but also said it beside Sakho.

Shaco couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, he didn't even feel that he knew Zhen Shaolong anymore.

This guy is too arrogant!

Soon Shaco knew that Zhen Shaolong was not arrogant.

Not long after the game restarted, Zhen Shaolong received a pass from the outside, and then directly swung his foot to shoot a lob. The football almost flew into the goal against the crossbar.

"Another goal!"

"Zhen Shaolong!"

"He scored two goals in less than six minutes!"

After this goal, Westphalia finally realized that Zhen Shaolong could not be allowed to kick at will, but when they were behind by two goals, they did not have much fighting spirit.

In addition, they wanted to defend against Zhen Shaolong, but their technical strength was still a bit weak.

Zhen Shaolong's body, skills, and experience are not what they were a year ago. In terms of body, he is still not as tall as a strong player, but his skills and experience are much better than those of the fourth-tier league.

Unlike other forwards, he doesn't need to be too much better than his opponent, as long as he is in a similar situation, allows himself to find opportunities normally, and with the help of skills, he can easily complete the goal.

The third goal came quickly too.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Bor lobbed a pass from the penalty area, Sakho jumped up and scored with a header, and the football hit the goalkeeper's arm and popped out.

Zhen Shaolong rushed to the landing point and sent the ball into the goal with a supplementary shot.

"1 to 4!"

"It's Zhen Shaolong again!"

"It took him less than fifteen minutes to complete the hat-trick! Now I have a feeling that St. Pauli sent Zhen Shaolong, which seriously affected the balance of the game."

"Before Zhen Shaolong played, Westphalia still had a chance, but after that there was no chance at all."

"He scored three goals with ease..."
