Savage, rushing, long pass rush? This is Bundesliga?

  There was no formal opening ceremony.

  Even in the first round, the two teams played as casually as if they were playing a friendly.

  After a brief family photo, both teams made their way to the sidelines.

  Schalke 04's opponent today is Rostock, who were relegated from the Bundesliga last season!

  As a former East German hegemon, he has had his share of glory!

  Rostock won the last league and cup "double" of the former East Germany in the 1990/91 season, thus qualifying for the Bundesliga after reunification.

  After the unification of the two German states, the soccer systems of the East and West parts of the country were merged.

  But after only one season they were relegated to the Bundesliga. After three seasons of struggle, it finally returned to the Bundesliga in 1995 and for a time retained its seat.

  After this, Rostock embarked on his relegation journey for several years.

  Only, unfortunately, the team's lack of funds still led to their unfortunate relegation in the 04/05 season.

  After that, the loss of starters made it extremely difficult for them to even play in the German Bundesliga!

  The Super League run is even more hopeless.

  Last season, Rostock even dropped to Bundesliga C in historic fashion!

  Club executives resigned and the team changed hands and was sold!

  In the end it was the Rostock fans who crowdfunded to keep the team alive.

  However, despite this, Rostock is not to be underestimated.

  Because, this current Rostock field is full of Bundesliga caliber players.

  All retired age players though.

  But their experience and skill is a real Bundesliga level.

  It had just started and Daniel on the sidelines was already frowning.

  Schalke 04 is still their familiar 4-3-3!

  Wyatt. Benedick surged forward.

  In midfield, it's Helim O'Shea. O'Shea and Ben Keshi. Keshi partner.

  But against Rostock's midfield partnership.

  Chetkovic, 36, and Beinlich, 35!

  The boyish Ben Cash and the impetuous Heimlich. Keshi and the impatient Helim O'Shea were no match for him. O'Shea were no match for them at all.

  Right from the start, Schalke 04, eager to attack, pressed hard.

  Against an aging Rostock, Daniel was very clear before the match.

  It's all about breaking through with speed and slowing them down with physicality.

  So, after receiving a pass from Whit. Benedick's kickoff return.

  Schalke's front man, Helim O'Shea. O'Shea was immediately hoofing it forward.

  Only, without taking a few steps, he was shoveled to the ground directly by Rostock's front man, Beinlich, who took the ball with him.

  It's not just those.

  The referee, who was close at hand, watched the downed Heimlich O'Shea. O'Shea did not say anything and pushed his hands forward to signal the game to continue.

  Shoveling successfully, Beinlich got up and wasted no time in making a wide-ranging shift to give the ball to Baltes, the team's youngster, who was frantically moving forward with one foot on the right side of the field!

  After a dashing right-footed stop, Rostock's youthful youngster, Baltes, who is known for his speed, began his performance on the right side of the pitch.

  Against the uptempo Schalke left back Morton. Jim.

  Baltes simply flicked the ball to his right and then accelerated past an unprepared Morton Jim. Jim.

  Now the Schalke backline panicked.

  You know that Rostock's striker is the veteran Hahnenberg, who just moved from Hamburg on a free transfer last season!

  At six-foot-two, he was often able to use his head to help his team attack in Hamburg, not to mention facing these little kids from Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga!

  No surprises!

  Rostock junior Baltes took two slight steps before pumping his right foot hard directly on top of the soccer ball.

  Inside the penalty box!

  Facing Harhanger who completely crushed them in terms of both height and skill, and even experience!

  Young Schalke center backs Esther. Scott and Webster. Jefferies were completely defenseless!

  The terrifying Harhanger pressed them with supreme ease and headed the ball towards the goal!

  "Beep!"

  A whistle!

  Hosts Schalke 04 opened the scoring just one minute and three seconds into the game when Rostock broke through!

  On the Rostock bench, all the substitutes and coaches were hugging each other with excitement.

  Harhanger, who scored the goal on the field, didn't have much to celebrate.

  He glanced coldly at Schalke center backs Webster. Webster Jefferies and Esther Scott. Scott then turned around and walked slowly towards his own half!

  "Damn Healyem, does he have shit in his head? How many times have I told you to slow them down with speed and quick passes, and he has to rush himself to his death?"

  Daniel watched his team concede so quickly and angrily threw his water bottle right out of his hand!

  -What a shit! What a shit kick! Is this still Schalke 04?

  -Although the tickets are cheap, you can't do this, it's only been a minute, and it's still a bunch of old scum from Rostock!

  -What did the defender do last night? He didn't have any body. That guy may be from the Bundesliga, but he's 37 years old, can't he even carry an old man?

  -[Shit, what a kick!]

  It wasn't just the manager who was furious at conceding a goal so quickly.

  The few fans on the sidelines chanted and cursed one by one.

  Su Bai turned his head to look at the vulgar self fan was also a bit surprised.

  You know, his previous exposure to the Bundesliga these can be in the TV set, that, one by one, the fans are wearing the home team uniform, waving the home team scarf, and do not leave the look!

  Which is like the group behind us, all of them vulgar as hell.

  "Sue, it's German C! It's still good to swear, and sometimes when the kicking is so bad, these guys will come down and just punch someone!"

  Smedley, the substitute goalkeeper, who was sitting next to him. Lev turned his head and said quietly.

  Go down and punch someone?

  Su Bai also had a chill.

  That's pretty fucking Chariot State level.

  Daniel was still cursing on the sidelines.

  The visiting manager on the other side of the field was all smiles.

  Su Bai turned his head to look at the big screen on the sidelines!

  Stinging 1:0!

  Is this Bundesliga?

  It's a lot rougher than expected!

  Later in the game, both teams also began to show off their offenses!

  The soccer ball is flying between the two teams!

  Su Bai's eyes hurt a little from watching.

  For a full thirty minutes.

  Seems like the soccer ball just doesn't roll on the ground much.

  Catch the ball with a big kick, hit the side, and then break on the side.

  After that it's an underhand pass!

  Not even a center penetration or anything.

  It's totally like soccer has nothing to do with midfield.

  The game was also boring as hell.

  Except for the rough and tumble action and the occasional whistle.
