Chapter 94: Xia Zhong's First Show

After Xia Zhong passed the physical examination of Paderborn 07, he began to receive training with his teammates.

Paderborn 07 did not perform very well at the beginning of this season, with two draws and two losses in the first four games.

Afterwards, the game began to improve slightly, from the last few in the league to the 8th in the Bundesliga.

And in fact, there is not much difference from the top few in the league.

Maybe Paderborn 07 still has the hope of being promoted to the Bundesliga. Xia Zhong is very much looking forward to his overseas study.

He is looking forward to training with his teammates. The next round of the Bundesliga will not be until February.

However, he obviously overestimated his teammates. He thought that even the Bundesliga Bundesliga players were much better than the Chinese Super League players.

But in fact, the strength of his teammates is not as strong as he thought.

He kept Cai Jian's suggestion in mind, he needs to get familiar with the style of his teammates as soon as possible.

After a period of running-in, he met several teammates.

There are basically no language barriers, because Xia Zhong was still in the Super League before.

I have been learning German, which was also arranged by Cai Jian before.

The main striker of Paderborn 07 was on loan from Werder Bremen.

But this time the winter window ended early and returned to Werder Bremen.

So Kasonga, who originally played as a right winger, was mentioned as a forward.

Kasong's acceleration is not bad, this style of players is Xia Zhong's preference.

Then there is the Turkish striker Salek, a player who needs to pass the ball from his teammates.

He doesn't have much speed and is relatively short in stature.

But his shooting ability is not bad. A player with strong passing ability like Xia Zhong can still help him a lot.

During training with his teammates, Xia Zhong's strength surprised his teammates.

They didn't expect that this young Huaxia midfielder was so strong.

Unknowingly, the winter window is over, and he is about to usher in his Bundesliga debut.

As a manager, Cai Jian, of course, also came to the scene today.

And the opponent's strength is not weak, it is Cologne who is currently number one in the Bundesliga.

The strength gap between the two sides is not small, Cologne is a bit like Hertha Berlin last season.

At the beginning of the season, they were unbeaten in 13 consecutive games. This season, Cologne is the favorite to win the championship.

And this game is still the home court of Cologne.

Nearly 50,000 spectators came to the scene, and they all hoped to see the team's victory on the spot.

Originally, Cai Jian thought that Xia Zhong would start as a substitute player.

But Cai Jian underestimated Xia Zhong, who was highly recognized by the head coach.

He joined the team's first show, and he even got the chance to start.

With Xia Zhong in the midfield, Paderborn 07's disadvantage is not as big as imagined.

Paderborn 07's first threatening attack was launched from Xia Zhong's point.

After Xia Zhong got the ball, he dribbled it to the back of the opponent's half.

Suddenly sent a through ball to the left, Meha ran back to catch up with the football.

At this time, he was on the left side outside the penalty area. Meha took the ball and passed the football directly to the goal.

Everything came so suddenly that the Cologne players didn't catch up at all.

The football was passed outside the penalty area and Kasonga ran towards it.

Kasonga took a tackle towards the ball, but he was still a little slow.

The ball rolled past his feet and Kasonga squandered a great opportunity.

Kasonga lay on the ground, holding his head in frustration.

He was one step slower. If he had reacted faster, the ball might have been scored.

I have to say that Cologne is still strong, especially their striker Helmers.

Helmers definitely has the strength of the Bundesliga, and he used to be a well-known striker.

In his first season after joining Leverkusen, he scored 21 goals in the season.

It's a pity that the cruciate ligament was torn and ruined him, and his state plummeted after he recovered.

And this season he left Wolfsburg and joined Cologne in the Bundesliga.

He has scored 6 goals this season and is considered the strongest player in the team.

Frequently launched an attack on Paderborn 07's defense, but fortunately they still resisted the pressure.

Soon Paderborn 07 launched a counterattack, and the football soon came to Xia Zhong's feet.

After Xia Zhong took the ball, he looked forward immediately and saw that the striker had already moved.

So Xia Zhong directly sent an over-the-top pass, Kasonga saw Xia Zhong passed the ball, and this pass looked very threatening.

Kasonga raised his speed to the fastest, but he did not have absolute speed.

The opposing centre-back Wimmer was alongside him and was physically confronting him.

Kasonga's physical resistance was weak, but fortunately Kasonga dodged a little.

This made the opponent's Wimmer staggered, and Kasonga seized this opportunity to directly form a single sword.

Cologne goalkeeper Horn had no choice but to attack. Cai Jian knew this goalkeeper.

In Cai Jian's memory, Horn seems to have always been in Cologne.

Horn went straight out of the penalty area and then shoveled towards the football at Kasonga's feet.

Seeing this, Kasonga turned to the right, trying to continue past the goalkeeper.

But Horn shoveled directly to Kasonga's feet, and Kasonga fell to the ground.

Lying on the ground, rolling and crying, it looked very painful.

The referee ran straight to Horn, and Horn seemed to be mentally prepared.

Sure enough, the referee showed a red card, and Horn was sent off directly.

In the next game, Cologne had to start with one player, and had to change one player first.

The fans at the scene were stunned. They didn't expect that their team would be at a disadvantage so suddenly.

Xia Zhong should take a lot of credit for this red card.

With the help of the team doctor, Kasonga finally stood up.

Although Paderborn 07 had the upper hand, the team was still unable to score.

Kasonga persisted for a while, but after all, he still couldn't persist in the game.

In desperation, Kasonga was replaced, and Dutch striker Veroder came off the bench.

Unlike Kasonga, Verode is not fast but has size.

They are two completely different players, and that's how the first half ended.

After the second half, Paderborn 07 soon launched an attack.

Xia Zhong dribbled the ball towards the opponent's penalty area, and Verode, who suddenly came off the bench, ran laterally near the penalty area line.

And his running position made Cologne very nervous, and the defensive players subconsciously moved closer to him.

Sure enough, Xia Zhong made a pass, and defender Marrow hurriedly defended against Veroder.

But what they didn't expect was that it was because of their defense.

As a result, the left side was very empty, and there were no defensive players around Meha.

And Xia Zhong's pass found him, and Mei Ha didn't expect that Xia Zhong passed it to himself.

Although his reaction was a bit slow, fortunately the defense strength around him was not high.

After Meha slanted into the penalty area, he successfully received a pass from Xia Zhong.

Then Meha directly pushed the goal with his right foot, and the goalkeeper tried hard to make a save.

But he didn't touch the football, it rolled into the goal.

And this goal was also the only goal in the game. In the end, Paderborn 07 defeated the mighty Cologne with a score of 1-0.
