?But in Germany this day is not National Day, the team is not on holiday, and Yang Cheng still has to participate in the team's preparations.
St. Pauli's 4 league games in September achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. This is not a bad result after the coaching change, and the team's ranking has risen to the bottom five.
Now the time comes to October, and in a few days it will be the eighth round of the St. Pauli league.
October 3rd is the day of the merger of the two Germanys, that is, German Reunification Day, which is equivalent to the German National Day and is a national statutory holiday in Germany.
It is a national holiday commemorating the official announcement of the unification of the former Federal Republic of Germany (formerly West Germany) and the former German Democratic Republic (formerly East Germany) on October 3, 1990.
At the same time, this day is also the founding day of the five new federal states of Germany.
Although today is a statutory holiday in Germany, the St. Pauli players must not relax for a moment, because there will be a fierce battle waiting for them the next day.
The St. Pauli team will play at home against Oberhausen, currently ranked sixth in the Bundesliga.
Their opponent, Oberhausen, has been unknown in the Bundesliga Bundesliga before, but they have suddenly risen this season. The team has defeated the top-ranked Mainz and Trier in succession. Team, their team morale is booming at present, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Although St. Pauli also won a big victory in the last round, it still has not completely walked out of the relegation zone.
In this regard, the team also conducted the last first training before the game on the afternoon of the German National Day.
St. Pauli's training has always been open to fans without any fees, and even training at the competition venue is free to watch.
Because today is a holiday and the weather is particularly good, a large number of fans came to watch the training together, and gave bursts of applause to the players' wonderful performances on the field from time to time.
The gauze on Yang Cheng's head has been removed today, and he looks much more energetic.
Before the training, as today's student on duty, Yang Cheng first helped to carry the drinks, and then helped to arrange the training equipment. Fortunately, there were staff from the training base to assist.
When everything was ready, the head coach Philipkowski soon appeared on the training ground.
After the players warmed up, Philipkowski continued to practice the tactics of the previous few days.
The main 11-man lineup is still the starting 11 that performed well in the previous game.
Seeing the main lineup practiced by Philipkowski, some reporters on the sidelines of the training field also asked the club sports director Franz Gerber next to him about the lineup.
Franz Gerber asked the reporter back with a smile: "Give me a reason to change? We played so well in the last game, why should we change?"
Heavy rain on Friday, October 4th.
The rain stopped at 16:00, and an hour later, fans came to St. Pauli's home stadium, Miletto Stadium,
At the press conference before the game, he was asked by the reporters: his opinion on the game.
St. Pauli coach Filipkowski replied briefly: "We should get out of this swinging situation. I hope my boys can prove that they will get 3 points today."
Philipkowski certainly hopes that he can lead the team to its first two-game winning streak this season.
Oberhausen also continued to use the winning lineup of the previous game, the 3-5-2 formation.
Oberhausen coach Alexander Ristic is 58 years old and is an experienced head coach.
Since taking over Oberhausen's coaching position on December 17 last year, Oberhausen, who has been unknown in the German second division, has gradually undergone earth-shaking changes.
Under the leadership of Ristic this season, Oberhausen has achieved 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the first seven rounds of the league. Currently, Oberhausen temporarily ranks sixth in the Bundesliga Bundesliga standings.
Today against St. Pauli, who is ranked fifth from the bottom in terms of points, Ristic has already studied and prepared.
Whether it was St. Pauli's previous victory over Brunswick or the defeat to Mainz, St. Pauli's monotonous style of play has been fully exposed.
According to years of coaching experience and the intelligence given by opponent analysts in the team, Ristic already knows St. Pauli's "weaknesses", and he has also made special targets for St. Pauli's "weaknesses".
That's right, it's Yang Cheng. As long as you keep an eye on China's Yang, St. Pauli will have nothing to do. St. Pauli's over-reliance on him also gave the opponent a chance to find it.
As the saying goes, "A good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves." Now in St. Pauli, Yang Cheng is a tiger.
? St. Pauli's style of play is single and the midfield is weak.sp; This is the second time Yang Cheng was injured in this game. He was carried to the locker room by the team doctor in time for emergency treatment.
Although he still wanted to grit his teeth and insist on playing, Yang Cheng had to leave the court because of the unbearable pain and the strong opposition of the team doctor.
Three minutes later, the head coach replaced Yang Cheng, who was forced to leave the field due to injury, with Ofodiler.
St. Pauli's assistant coach Tom Ford was extremely angry about the serious injury of the opponent's defender. During the intermission, he roared and rushed towards Tiefu who caused the accident. Fortunately, he was stopped by the players. Only then did the situation escalate further.
Back in the locker room, Philipkowski first expressed condolences to Yang Cheng's injury, and then turned to look at other players.
Yang Cheng's injury and the bias of the referee have a great impact on the morale of the team.
After his passionate encouragement, the teammates regained their fighting spirit.
In the end, under the united will of the St. Pauli players, St. Pauli defended in the second half, and the two sides played 0:0.
After the game, the team doctor reported to head coach Philipkowski that Yang Cheng's knee injury was very bad and he would have to rest for at least three weeks.
In the post-match press release, coach Filipkov announced to reporters that Yang Cheng will be injured for two to three weeks.
Regarding the perpetrator Diku who caused Yang Cheng's injury, Filipkov said this: "Brutal, animal, cruel" adjectives to evaluate Diku.
"For a bad foul like this, not only should a red card be given, but an additional 4 games should be suspended. His actions are too dangerous. And it is more like a premeditated foul."
When a reporter asked about the referee's penalty, Filipkov directly bypassed it.
On the other hand, Oberhausen head coach Ristic faced reporters' questions about Yang Cheng's injury, but instead beat Yang Cheng for his disciple's sophistry.
Not only did he fail to recognize his disciple's misdeeds on the court, but he quibbled to the reporter: "Yes, Yang was pushed from behind by him (Diku), but I think Diku didn't apologize for Yang's subsequent injuries. Necessary, if Young can concentrate a little bit at that time, I think he should be able to avoid injury and play the whole game very well."
In his mouth, Yang Cheng was forced to get injured and couldn't play the whole game. He didn't have the slightest responsibility with his disciples. Instead, he blamed Yang Cheng for not concentrating.
Ristic's irresponsible sophistry is like poking a hornet's nest.
A fan signed by hasso wrote on the St. Pauli fan forum: "Diku doesn't need to apologize" is very ridiculous, very incredible, and it is simply a hooligan face.
St. Pauli fans directly referred to Ristic, who was completely distorting the facts and sophistry, as a "rogue coach" and "Mr. Rogue Ristic". </div>
