The names of the four teams of Bucharest Star, Middlesbrough, Schalke 04 and Mainz are not so mainstream. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I look at it by the custom of the place names of European countries.

Middlesbrough is like a German place name, and coincidentally, it is an English city, and it is the steel town of Yorkshire, the heart of England.

The names of Schalke and Mainz, on the other hand, are like the names of southern European cities.

As it happened, Steaua Bucharest were Romania's team.

And what is the city where the Bucharest Stars are located? Bucharest! That's right, slowly it's all in the style of English city names.

These are due to a number of historical reasons in the history of Europe, so don't think about it.

But what is even more interesting is the draw of UEFA.

In the new century, people continue to come out and criticize the UEFA draw.

Someone once used a video to explain that there is a way to operate in the UEFA draw box, which is to deal with the pre-booked matchups.

For example, this time, some people say it's shady.

The operation method is very simple, after entering the semi-finals, it is no longer divided into upper and lower zones, but a unified draw, so the balls of Schalke 04 and Mainz can be drawn smoothly.

There's a reason for that.

Some people will say that in the European Cup, for the sake of ratings, shouldn't the leagues of each country be separated, and the more dispersed, the more conducive to broadcasting?

Actually, no, for example, the ratings of Mainz and Bolton against that game were very low.

In recent years, UEFA has often pulled out league opponents to play them in the semi-finals, such as Chelsea against Arsenal and Inter Milan against AC.

This kind of matchup can often detonate the ratings.

UEFA is accustomed to explaining that this is the charm of football.

Translated, it is destined.

I believe in your wickedness.

In this regard, of course, the German media chose to lash out.

On March 9, AC Milan swept Bayern Munich strongly, and so far, the German team has been wiped out in the Champions League.

Since then, the entire German attention to the European war has been placed on Mainz and Schalke 04.

Originally, the German media believed that the two teams were extremely strong this season and were likely to meet in the final, but as a result, UEFA's draw led to the inevitable kicking of one team.

In other words, Germany, which was originally guaranteed to win the League Cup, suddenly has half the risk.

Faced with strong skepticism from the German media, the media in Italy and England chose to ridicule.

Because they don't have two teams in the last four of the Champions League or Europa League, it's not a big deal to see the excitement.

Finally, the Spanish media also stood up: "Barcelona and Villarreal entered the last four of the Champions League at the same time and were not drawn together, which also proves the fairness of UEFA." ”

What you said is quite right, Huang Qian against Barcelona, even if it is the Champions League, can the ratings be compared with Mainz against Schalke 04?

But there are examples, and they don't have good seizures.

However, then, on April 14, UEFA issued a new rule, which directly blew up the German media.

UEFA stipulates that teams that enter the Champions League and UEFA Cup are registered on a club-by-club basis, but are not allowed to play in cross-cup competitions.

What do you mean?

This is for Mainz.

In the Champions League and Europa League, players who have already played are not allowed to play for both teams, even if they change teams.

In other words, there is no question of inter-cup appearances.

But now something happened.

Because Mainz is likely to qualify for the Champions League, while Mainz II is likely to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

In other words, Mainz must take into account possible personnel changes in the Champions League, registering every player who may play or not, but must not register in the second team, because once in the second team, you will lose the opportunity to play in the Champions League.

As early as the end of the game, Frankfurt made a long analysis that Mainz can use this year's League Cup German Cup routine to let the second team continue to train players in next year's League Cup, maintain the game condition, and provide the first team with players in full training state to play in the Champions League at any time.

It's a training model that borders on a bug, because top players, or professional players, don't really train well within the team and have to play to maintain their form or grow.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many teams that would have loaned their young talent to other teams.

Mainz has this advantage, and reasonable use is not in conflict with the rules, but at this time, UEFA deliberately made such a provision, isn't it bullying Mainz's new power?

But Mainz didn't have time to comment.

Because on April 14, the whole Mainz team had already checked into the hotel in Frankfurt and waited for the 30th round of the league the next day.

"Marco Reimer! Nice breakout! ”

Marco, Marco, this Marco again!

This time, Wang Zhen felt the feeling felt by the players of the second team, which was simply difficult.

In the thirteenth round of the league against Eintracht Frankfurt, Wang Zhen did score a goal, but that goal was not a strong attack, or even a sports battle after a midfield pass.

Instead, after Hank's shot was saved, Wang Zhen picked up the leak and scored.

It can be said that Villa's trick helped Wang Zhen, or it can be said that Wang Zhen was purely lucky.

And in this game, there is another problem, that is, what Cantona taught Wang Zhen has already worked.

Wang Zhen will habitually follow what Cantona taught him on the court, leaking the ball, passing the ball to a teammate, or running with the ball without the ball.

But it always makes people feel that it's almost meaningful.

It's like, originally a straight table tennis master, suddenly learned horizontal board for the sake of performance improvement, but during the transformation, he painfully found that he forgot the straight board, and the horizontal board had not yet been learned.

This is the case for Wang Zhen now.

Again, Mainz attacked the frontcourt, this time, he chose to use skills without hesitation, it has been a long time, Wang Zhen is not used to using skills to score.

Relying on Marco Reimer, Wang Zhen kept cutting to the right.

Oka Nikolov guessed the angle of the shot that Wang Zhen would choose, and commanded in a loud voice: "Christopher, come here!" ”

Christopher Snapchel, who plays at left-back, is helpless, what if he leaves, what if Wang Zhen turns around and passes back to Benjamin Orr?

However, Snapchel still chose to listen to the goalkeeper.

Wang Zhen relied on his speed to eat Marco Reimer's position and forcibly kicked up!

"Outside instep volley! The ball path is good! tooooooor――！ "I actually went in.

Wang Zhen didn't expect that his attempted shot would have an effect, and then turned around to celebrate.

However, in the first half, Wang Zhen failed to find any more opportunities.

Jurgen Klopp always felt that there was something wrong with Eintracht Frankfurt.

As a result, Klopp finally found out before the end of the second half, but it was too late.

Jurgen Klopp habitually used the game against Mainz as a study to give the tactics of this game.

However, Eintracht Frankfurt is now on the main team, and the defensive ability is not reduced, and the offensive ability is higher than that lineup.

Just as Klopp was about to bring on Montolivo to strengthen the defence, Eintracht Frankfurt scored.

"Marcus Weissenberger! The ball is in! With this attacking midfielder's goal, Eintracht Frankfurt managed to keep a point, and Klopp was also frustrated.

After the game, Vonkel communicated with Klopp: "You are very good, you are the best coach of the season, but you are still inexperienced, I am optimistic about you." ”

Klopp didn't care either, and said: "I wish you success in relegation." ”

This is not a mockery, Eintracht Frankfurt's squad, the highest salary is Marko's 2,000 euros, only six players earn more than 1,000 euros a week, the whole team is in the process of rebuilding, and it is not easy to be able to draw Mainz flat.
