There was no formal opening ceremony.

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

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

　　FC Schalke 04's opponent today was FC Hansa Rostock, who was relegated from the 2. Bundesliga last season!

　　As a former East German dominant player, he had a glorious history!

　　FC Hansa Rostock won the last league and cup “double” of the former East Germany in the 1990/91 season, and thus qualified for the Bundesliga after the reunification.

　　After the reunification of the two German states, the East and West soccer systems were brought together.

　　After only one season, the team was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga, and after three seasons of struggling, it finally returned to the Bundesliga in 1995, retaining its place in the Bundesliga for a time.

　　After that, FC Hansa Rostock started 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 key players made it extremely difficult for them to even play in the 2. Bundesliga!

　　There was no hope for them to make it to the Super League.

　　Last season, FC Hansa Rostock fell to the 3. Liga in a historic fall!

　　The top management of the club resigned and the team was sold!

　　In the end, FC Hansa Rostock's fans were able to raise funds to keep the team alive.

　　However, FC Hansa Rostock's strength is not to be underestimated.

　　The current FC Hansa Rostock team has Bundesliga level players on the field.

　　Although they are all retired players.

　　But their experience and skills are the real Bundesliga level.

　　Just after the kickoff, Daniel on the sidelines was already frowning.

　　FC Schalke 04 was still in their familiar 4-3-3!

　　Whit Benedict is up front.

　　Midfielder was Helim paired with Ben Cash.

　　But, facing FC Hansa Rostock's Midfielder partnership.

　　Cetkovic, 36, and Beinlich, 35!

　　The young Ben Cash and the impatient Helim were no match for the others at all.

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

　　Facing the aging FC Hansa Rostock, Daniel made it very clear before the match.

　　He said that he would use his speed to break through, and use his physical strength to slow them down.

　　So, after receiving Whit Benedict's return pass.

　　Schalke attacking midfielder Helim immediately rushed forward without stopping.

　　Only, without taking a few steps, he was directly shoveled to the ground by FC Hansa Rostockattacking midfielderBeinlich with the ball.

　　It wasn't just that.

　　The referee, who was close at hand, made no comment as he watched Helim fall to the ground and pushed his hands forward to signal that play should continue.

　　Beinlich, who made the tackle, got up and, without hesitation, made a wide-ranging move to give the ball to Baltes, the team's youngest player, who had made a frantic move forward on the right side of the field!

　　After stopping the ball with his right foot, FC Hansa Rostock's youngster, Baltes, who is known for his speed, started his performance on the right side.

　　Baltes was faced with a left - back Morton Jim Schalke.

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

　　Now, Schalke's backline panicked.

　　You know that FC Hansa Rostock's forward is a veteran Hahanger who just transferred from Hamburg for free last season!

　　The 5'2” Hahanger used to use his head to help his team in Hamburg, not to mention facing these kids from FC Schalke 04 in The 3. Liga!

　　No surprises!

　　FC Hansa Rostock's youngster Baltes took a couple of steps before pumping a hard right foot directly on top of the soccer ball.

　　Inside the penalty area!

　　Facing Hahanger, who had completely overpowered them in terms of height, skill, and even experience!

　　The young Schalke center-back Esther Scott and Webster Geoffrey were completely defenseless!

　　The terrifying Hahanger easily overpowered them and headed the ball towards the goal!

　　“Beep!”

　　A whistle blows!

　　The hosts FC Schalke 04 were attacked by FC Hansa Rostock just one minute and three seconds into the match!

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

　　Hahanger, who scored the goal on the field, didn't celebrate much.

　　He glanced coldly at the Schalke center - back Webster Geoffrey and Esther Scott, who were still on the ground, and then turned around and walked slowly towards his own half of the field!

　　“Damn Helim, 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 up and get himself killed?”

　　Daniel looked at his team conceding the ball so quickly and angrily threw away the water bottle he was holding directly!

　　-[SHIT! What a kick, shit! Is this still FC Schalke 04?"]

　　-Although the tickets are cheap, you can't do this. It's only been a minute, and it's a bunch of FC Hansa Rostock's old, old, old guys!

　　-What was the defender doing last night? No body at all. The guy may be a Bundesliga player, but he's 37 years old, can't even handle an old man?

　　-Shit, what a game!

　　It wasn't just the manager who was furious at losing the ball so quickly.

　　The few fans on the sidelines were also shouting and cursing one by one.

　　Su turned his head to look at the vulgarity of his own fans was also a bit surprised.

　　You know, his previous exposure to Bundesliga was in the TV, where the fans were all wearing their home team's uniforms, waving their home team's scarves, and not giving up!

　　Which was like this group behind them, each one vulgar as hell.

　　“Su, this is The 3. Liga! Cursing is still good, sometimes when the kicking is too bad, these guys will even go down to the field and directly beat people up!”

　　Smedley Lev, the substitute goalkeeper sitting beside him, turned his head and said quietly.

　　Going down and punching people?

　　Su got a chill down his spine as well.

　　This was pretty fucking German level.

　　Daniel was still cursing on the sidelines.

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

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

　　A blinding 1:0!

　　Was this The 3.Liga?

　　It's a lot rougher than expected!

　　After that, the two teams also started to show off their respective offenses!

　　Soccer balls were flying around between the two teams!

　　Su's eyes hurt a little from watching.

　　For a full thirty minutes.

　　It seemed like the soccer ball never rolled on the ground.

　　Receiving the ball with a big kick, hitting the sidelines, and then the sideline break.

　　After that, it's just a pass from the bottom!

　　There wasn't even a center penetration or anything.

　　It's like soccer has nothing to do with Midfielder.

　　The game was also boring.

　　Except for the rough play and the occasional whistle.

　　This opening game of The 3. Liga took Su's breath away as well!
