Chapter Seventy-Five: The Crazy League
"Before the game, although I was optimistic that Mainz would make it through, it was still unbelievable to wait for Mainz to get past Manchester United, just four years ago, the team was struggling in the Bundesliga, waiting for a few seasons to not qualify for the Bundesliga, and four years later they are one of the strongest teams in Europe. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Manchester United is one of the few big clubs that does not have a mouthpiece media, and the main Ferguson is not very kind to the media.
But they still have mouthpiece reporters.
The Daily Mail's Keegan commented: "Both sides provided fans with a superb home-and-away fixture, with Mainz winning against Manchester United and they are aiming for the title, and Manchester United have endured this and will be stronger next season." ”
Team reporter Mitri analyzed: "In this game, you can't complain that any player didn't play well enough, they showed themselves, but the team lineup that Mainz spent five years building up has ushered in a butterfly change this season, perhaps, this model will become the best choice for small clubs in the future, buy a large number of young players, and wait until the team structure is stable before buying capable and kind veterans, this kind of team building idea is Klopp's football philosophy, such a manager should go to the Premier League to coach." ”
The German media was also jubilant: "Since Bayern began to innovate, the Bundesliga team has not reached the last four for many years, and Mainz's strong performance in the Champions League has ensured that the Bundesliga has maintained four seats in the Champions League. ”
Although Mainz's results in the league are hated by the Bundesliga teams, the Champions League points they have achieved are undoubtedly a benefit for the Bundesliga group, and the battle between the Bundesliga group will be much weaker.
There is no way to say that they are the first group, and at present, there are seven league games left, and Mainz has 67 points, while Bayern, who is in second place, has 53 points.
Werder Bremen, who are third, are currently on 51 points, and the teams behind fourth are all on just over 40 points.
Mainz is now in an absolute advantage, and unless Mainz comes to a wave of six consecutive defeats, Bayern have no chance.
Six in a row? For Mainz, this is tantamount to a dream.
The current situation in the Champions League is also clear.
Currently, the four teams are Liverpool, Mainz, Chelsea and Barcelona.
No one could have predicted that Liverpool and Barcelona would be able to reach the semi-finals with their recent form this season, which is surprising.
However, Liverpool against Mainz and Barcelona against Chelsea ended their good fortunes.
On April 12, in the 28th round of the league, Mainz played against Rostock.
In this game, Wang Zhen was in such a state and brave that he scored a hat trick again.
These include a 26-metre free-kick from the right that pierces the goal, a header in the penalty area that is unstoppable, and a shot that steps on the line of the penalty area, and the third goal is scored by pure luck, but everyone knows that every striker always has his own luck, and some people cross the bottom and pass into the goal.
After completing this hat-trick, Wang Zhen's goal tally this season officially reached 30. That is, the Bundesliga goals reached ninety-six.
With only four goals left, it will be enough to complete the Bundesliga with 100 goals.
In the new era of the Bundesliga, this is almost impossible to replicate, only the great gods of ancient times have had such a performance.
However, there was one thing that overshadowed Wang Zhen.
Bayern Munich lost.
Bayern's loss is certainly not an earth-shattering thing, but for Mainz fans, and even for Bundesliga fans, it is a matter of running for help.
With six rounds left in the league, Bayern are currently 53 points, and even if they win six in a row, they will at most score 71 points at the end.
And Mainz is now seventy years old.
In other words, in the 29th round of the league on April 17, as long as Mainz wins in Duisburg, it will be able to win the championship directly five rounds in advance.
The media sighed: "When, in mid-April, the Bundesliga will decide the champions?" It's really amazing. ”
And the fans have gone crazy.
On the one hand, fans hope that the team will quickly win the championship and win the glory of three consecutive championships.
Mainz, on the other hand, has won the championship since its first season, and every time it has won the title, it has been all away, and every time it is, if it wins again this time in Duisburg, the fans will go crazy.
Some fans are willing on the official website of Mainz, asking the team to release water for a game, and wait until they return to their home stadium to win the championship.
Some fans also believe that winning the championship is winning the championship, so they should win it directly, what kind of water to put in, in case they return to the home court and lose again, isn't that a chance for Bayern to chase.
What's more, even if the away team releases the water, and Bayern loses by itself, is it different from winning the championship directly away.
How can you choose your home stadium for such a thing as the location of the championship.
Unless you host a warm-up cup in the summer, you can win the trophy at home.
European competitions, whether it is the three major cups, can not be played at home finals, the German Cup can not be played at home, the only chance is the league, the league, the probability of winning the championship every year is only 1 in 18, the probability of winning the championship at home every year is 1 in 36, and winning the championship from away for three consecutive years is mathematically unlikely.
Well, that's football, and football sometimes has regrets of one kind or another.
In the end, the official website of Mainz could only issue a statement due to too many questions: "It is also the team's desire to win the championship at home, but the team needs to stabilize the league as soon as possible to impact the Champions League, so we need to win, we believe that Mainz will still be a strong contender for the championship in the coming season, and will always win the championship at home." ”
Mainz won many titles, but none of them were received at the Bruuche Road stadium, which made the long-time fans sigh.
In this case, with the new stadium, it also opens a new era, and the failure to reach the top at home at the Bruuche Road Stadium is left by Mainz's crazy championship journey in the past three years, the only regret is that there is no perfect life, and there is no perfect story.
Reality is not a movie, everyone is happy and happy and reunion is at home, that kind of coincidence, you can meet but not seek.
The Bundesliga media have already begun to select their Bundesliga team of the season in advance.
Mainz has at least seven people in various different editions.
Even, because the league is mainly played by rotation players, people like Modric and Ozil and Wang Erlei have also entered the public eye, and in the hearts of fans or the media, Ozil and Wang Erlei are already real stars, and Modric has successfully become a first-line star.
It can be expected that Mainz's super early championship will definitely provoke the rush of European giants, and the value of each player may have to be mentioned.
As for Klopp, Klopp was unwilling to give up the foundation he had built and did not want to leave, and he personally rejected the invitations of four giants, including Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
Mainz is now, in the eyes of the giants, a big piece of fat.
And the giants are in the eyes of Mainz, they are the stepping stones on the way forward.
Mainz, looking forward to the treble, but also looking forward to the Champions League title.
If you can't reach the top of the Champions League, what kind of dynastic team is it, and what kind of dominance is it?
On April 16, the whole Mainz team rushed to Duisburg to wait for the championship battle!
