Chapter 115: 13 Goals In Two Games! Instead Of A Bus, Put A Battleship!

After losing the league championship last season, which was clinched by Union Berlin two rounds ahead of schedule, Guardiola's tenure at Bayern Munich was on thin ice. Fans have long criticized his possession-based style of play.

According to a survey by the German newspaper Die Welt, more than 40% of fans think Guardiola is too obsessed with his tactics. Former Bayern captain Effenberg voiced these sentiments, stating in an interview:

"Bayern's possession rate averages over 65%. The team looks good on the field, but the end result is poor, with most of it being ineffective possession."

"Last season, Union Berlin played the most beautiful football in the Bundesliga. They are synonymous with simplicity and efficiency and deservedly won the title."

"If Bayern were coached by Van Gaal or Heynckes, they might have already been sacked."

"Losing to Union Berlin is one thing, but the way we lost was disgraceful. It's negative and very disappointing."

"Guardiola must prove himself this year. To give his Bayern career a perfect ending, he has to win the Champions League this season."

The German "Transfer Market" also reported that Manchester City is considering replacing Pellegrini with Guardiola. According to "Goal," Bayern's executives are already at odds with Guardiola and are considering replacing him with Carlo Ancelotti.

Despite recent poor performances, Manchester City has no immediate plans to fire Pellegrini, making it possible that Guardiola could be dismissed first. This situation only added to the pressure on Guardiola, with German fans realizing that this was just the first round of the Bundesliga.

The prospect of a renowned coach being sacked after the first game of the season was a significant blow to Bayern's morale.

Union Berlin's 7-0 victory was a stunning result. As one Bayern fan put it, "Su Luo is amazing! He's a real 'head coach killer!'"

Counting the coaches of Leverkusen, Hamburg, Schalke 04, and Wolfsburg who were sacked after facing Union Berlin, this was the second time fans called for Guardiola's dismissal, and this time Bayern's executives seemed serious.

While rumors of Guardiola's potential dismissal spread, Union Berlin continued to train hard for their next match. Despite new players not yet fully gelling, such as Sane and Maher Reiss, who tended to work independently, and issues with the defensive contributions of the wingers, the team pressed on.

Union Berlin's second-round Bundesliga match saw them hosting Stuttgart, a team that narrowly avoided relegation last season. Stuttgart's coach, Alexander Zonig, was confident in his pre-match press conference.

"Bayern Munich were too conservative, and that's why they lost. Union Berlin is just a paper tiger. The more we fear them, the stronger they become. Stuttgart is not afraid!"

"Stuttgart, as a traditional strong team in the Bundesliga, will be tough to the end and attack!"

After Stuttgart's 3-1 victory over Cologne in the first round, Zonig believed that exploiting Union Berlin's weak defense was the key to victory.

Unfortunately for Zonig, his confidence would soon be shattered.

At the start of the game, Stuttgart attacked aggressively, hoping to break Union Berlin's defense. However, Union Berlin's central defender Alex returned to form a solid defense with Rudiger. Left-back Ake, more defensively minded, and the steady Pavard completed a formidable defensive line.

Stuttgart's attacks were fruitless, unable to penetrate Union Berlin's defense or pose any real threat. Neuhaus, Union Berlin's coach, watched for just five minutes before relaxing back on the bench.

"Is that all they've got?" Hofstadter laughed.

"Today's intensity is far less than Bayern's," Neuhaus agreed.

Stuttgart's initial aggression quickly faltered. Union Berlin then demonstrated what real offense looked like.

"Union Berlin's quick counterattack, Keita, Kimmich, and Forsberg are connecting well!"

"Su Luo retreats to respond, drawing the defender out!"

"Beautiful! A perfect through ball!"

"Sane arrives just in time and easily slots it into the net!"

"Union Berlin's counterattack is too easy! 1-0 lead!"

"Stuttgart focused too much on Su Luo, leaving Sane unmarked for an easy goal. Su Luo's passing is also brilliant. He can deliver perfect assists even with his back to goal!"

"Su Luo's growth this season is visible to everyone!"

With the first goal scored, the second soon followed. In the 30th minute, Stuttgart's defenders, wary of pressing forward, watched as Su Luo unleashed a powerful shot from 26 meters out.

"Su Luo's Cannon! It's in the net!"

"This goal is a world-class strike."

Duan Xuan, a CCTV commentator, was almost blasé about Su Luo's long-range shots. "For Su Luo, these long-range goals are as routine as eating and drinking water."

The match ended with Union Berlin securing a decisive victory, continuing their impressive start to the Bundesliga season.

"Su Luo has scored 5 goals this new season. As long as he stays injury-free, the Golden Boot race will be over before it even begins."

His 60 goals last season were like the peak of Everest. The other Bundesliga strikers can only stand at the foot of the mountain and look up at Su Luo!

They don't even think about climbing that mountain. Give them two seasons, and they still couldn't catch up with Su Luo.

But as long as you help the team win, it doesn't matter how many individual goals you score.

At halftime, Union Berlin led Stuttgart 2-0. Su Luo, Sane, and Maher Reiss missed a few easy chances. Su Luo's two brilliant assists didn't turn into goals; otherwise, it could have been 4-0 or 5-0.

In the second half, Alexander Zonig was still fixated on competing against Union Berlin. Shortly after the start, their goal was pierced again by Union Berlin.

"Su Luo!!! Full firepower, the 6th goal of the season!"

"It's another efficient counterattack from Union Berlin. With just two passes, they penetrated the opponent's defense!"

"Sane received a pass from Forsberg on the left, broke into the penalty area, and shot from a tight angle, but the goalkeeper blocked it!"

"Su Luo was in the right place at the right time and easily tapped it into the net!"

"People often forget Su Luo's world-class positioning in front of goal because his breakthroughs and long-range shots are so sharp!"

"More than half of his 60 goals last season came from top-level off-the-ball movement and easy finishes."

"You can't define Su Luo as just one type of striker!"

"He's the kind of all-round forward modern football needs!"

Duan Xuan and the Huaxia fans have witnessed Su Luo's incredible development from his early days to his current tactical genius.

His way of playing football seems straightforward, but like a master of martial arts, he delivers a fatal blow at the most critical moment.

3-0!

Zonig's pre-match comments became a joke. Union Berlin were attacking relentlessly, leaving Stuttgart in disarray.

By the 60th minute, Su Luo had retreated to collect the ball and sent a penetrating through ball as the attack's fulcrum.

It went right through the heart of Stuttgart's defense!

Forsberg advanced and found Maher Reiss in the penalty area.

Maher Reiss scored an easy goal!

4-0!

Stuttgart was completely demolished!

In the 75th minute, Su Luo received a 45-degree cross from right-back Pavard in the penalty area.

A powerful header smashed into Stuttgart's net!

Hat-trick! Su Luo completed the hat-trick with a header!

"Seven goals in two games and assisting in two more!"

"If Union Berlin is a top supercar, Su Luo is the most advanced engine, driving the supercar with powerful horsepower!"

At 85 minutes, Su Luo was substituted by Neuhaus, and all the fans stood up and applauded him for a full minute.

After Su Luo left the field, Sane capitalized on his sharp breakthrough to score another goal.

6-0!

Stuttgart was utterly destroyed! The referee ended the one-sided game with the score fixed at 6-0!

Union Berlin in the new season will make the entire Bundesliga tremble!

13 goals in two games!

Su Luo scored 7 goals in two games!

This isn't just full firepower; it's like Union Berlin is a battleship Bismarck, blasting their opponents to pieces!

From now on, football has a new term: "Swing the Battleship"!

At the post-match press conference, Stuttgart coach Alexander Zonig was absent due to illness. Neuhaus sat calmly on the news platform, seemingly indifferent to the two consecutive 13-0 victories.

"Two Bundesliga wins are just a good start."

"Our goal is the Bundesliga championship. Two victories don't mean anything. We have a whole season to work hard!"

Neuhaus was modest. At the beginning of last season, his goal was simply to avoid relegation. He didn't even dare mention the championship. Now, Neuhaus can openly state the team's goal of competing for the championship!

This time, no one in Germany or Europe questioned it!

After all, Bayern's 7-0 defeat is fresh in everyone's mind. Not mentioning the championship would be a bit too much.

But the Bundesliga is not the only goal for this Union Berlin team. The Champions League is their next big target!

With the end of the first three qualifying rounds and the play-offs, the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage will soon be announced!

Union Berlin and Su Luo are about to make their grand entrance into European competition!
