On April 1, the traditional April Fool's Day, Mainz travelled to play away against Nuremberg. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's just a joke, but it's a sigh of emotion, because football is always elusive, three years ago in the summer, two years ago in the summer, we kept updating our perception, last year, this year everything has changed again, the only thing that can be truly determined is that Mainz is really competing with Bayern for the league title." ”

Three years ago, Wang Zhen joined Mainz, and was later discovered by the media by chance.

After the Mainz Zeitung report, various media outlets followed suit and began to report on the boy who had just turned 18 years old. Perhaps also because of his beautiful kicking, Wang Zhen appeared in the media's field of vision with the best goals in the German Second Division in several rounds.

Some people believe that a new star has risen, while others believe that it is just a comet that streaks across the sky.

Two years ago, Wang Zhen disclosed for the first time the door-to-door sales trip at that time, and opened a new stage of Sino-German youth training.

At that time, people began to realize that no matter what Mainz was, Wang Zhen was always a very good scorer, although his shooting skills were bad, but he could score goals.

At this time a year ago, Wang Zhen led Mainz to a strong comeback and got out of the relegation zone.

And now, Wang Zhen has brought Mainz to the first group of the league, and even stayed at the top of the league table for three consecutive months in the middle of the season.

A number of commentators believe that if it weren't for Neuer's injury that slowed down Mainz's pace, Bayern would have no chance to turn the tables at this moment.

Today, on this special occasion of April Fool's Day, the Mainz Daily has used a special issue to reprint in detail the various comments of the media on Wang Zhen that year.

At that time, Wang Zhen claimed that he would become the best center forward in the Bundesliga, and after a year, he seemed to have done it.

It is undeniable that Ma Kai, Klose and others are also very strong, and that is only strong, only Wang Zhen has reached the phenomenal level this season.

Due to schedule problems, Henry's European Golden Boot points are catching up, and Henry, who played the day before, has been equal to Wang Zhen.

This round of the game was considered to be a new round of response from Wang Zhen, because the last time Henry caught up, Wang Zhen completed a hat trick strongly.

And this round of the game, against the opponent, happens to be Nuremberg.

From the beginning of the promotion season, then, whenever it comes to the critical moment of the league, Mainz will always meet Nuremberg, and I don't know if it is really such a coincidence.

However, the problem now is that the UEFA Cup is held to a draw at home, with the UEFA Cup on April 6 and the league on April 8.

If league results are to be pursued, the UEFA Cup must be abandoned.

If the League Cup is pursued, the league must be abandoned.

Wang Zhen meant that the two-front battle should be maintained, after all, the opportunity is here.

And Klopp is deeply worried, what if he encounters another wave of injuries?

In February, it suffered a painful wave of injuries, and finally took advantage of the fact that there were not many games in March, rested for a while, and put into multi-front battles.

Various newspapers are also coming up with ideas, thinking that the Mainz Cup is extremely strong, the cup results should be guaranteed, the league will always be there, if Mainz can stay in the Bundesliga for a long time, then the Bundesliga has more chances to win the championship.

But in Europe, the Europa League and the Champions League, there is only one champion every year, and in the decades-long history, the two cup champions combined, there are only dozens of teams, which is an honor one level higher than the league championship.

I've already fought to the quarterfinals, so why don't you keep fighting.

Klopp is also lamenting that it would be nice if there was one more veteran in the midfield.

Albertini is indeed very good, but he is trapped by the style of play, and when he gets older, he can't guarantee playing time, and his role is more in the dressing room.

In fact, so far this season, there have been no problems in the dressing room, and thanks to the cooperation of the three captains, Wang Zhen would not have played well without Albertini's help.

Mainz need a top veteran who can guarantee playing time.

But that's next season and we have to find a way out this season.

In the end, Klopp decided to give up the league game first, and then put his focus back on the league if he reached the quarter-finals, and if the League Cup suffered another setback after advancing to the quarter-finals, he would consider whether to abandon the league at that time.

On April 1, against Nuremberg, Wang Zhen, Ribery, Kanna and other absolute main players all rested, and Mainz did not even take them away.

Let them rest at home.

As soon as the news came out, Nuremberg was immediately agitated.

They are still in relegation this season, and if they have the opportunity to get three points, they will definitely not choose to take a point, Nuremberg are ready to give it a go!

However, Nuremberg's wishful thinking miscalculated.

They did score two goals and would have been enough to guarantee victory if it had been any other game, however they were against Mainz.

Even if the league is abandoned, it is just that the main team will not play, and the depth of Mainz's squad is extremely terrifying.

Modric, a young talent who has stood out this season, has suppressed the entire Nuremberg midfield in this game, and unlike the usual low-key style of play, Modric chose to take the ball in a high-profile manner.

His position is a midfielder, so in this lineup, he is responsible for the metronome, and Mainz plays against Nuremberg under the guidance of Modric.

In the end, parallel midfielder Paye and Benjamin Orr, who had rested for a while, scored a goal.

Mainz and Nuremberg drew together.

I thought that after this game, Mainz would be completely thrown away by Bayern, but Bayern followed suit, and they were forced to draw by Hamburg at home.

Five points apart, it's not a big gap, there are six league games to go, and the pressure is always on those ahead.

After completing the rest of the main force, Klopp led the strong and well-armed Mainz to Russia.

A few months ago, in the long dark night of Zenit, Mainz was held to a draw by Zenit.

Mainz were held to a draw by Zenit last week, and the two teams have drawn twice in their all-time head-to-head history.

This time, Mainz needs a win to enter the next round of the League Cup, and Wang Zhen is finally back!

As the only seed in Europe, the Russian media certainly supported Zenit: "German-Russian dispute, the sixth leg of the season!" ”

In the group stage of the UEFA Cup, CSKA Moscow were eliminated at the bottom of Group A, and it was Bundesliga giants Hamburg who sent them away.

And Mainz is already the fifth game against the Russian team this season, and the third game against Zenit.

Forced the round-out system into a series.

Both sides know the bottom line, and there is nothing to hide at all.

Therefore, the two sides still sent the strongest lineup, intending to fight to the death!

Vlastimir Petzela drew in the previous two games, and this time he still did not make any changes to the line-up, with goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafev as the number 16, left winger Predrag Vadejanovic as the second winger, Aleksandar Krzakov as the striker as the elde, Andrei Arshavin as the midfielder as the tenth as the striker, Vladislav Radimov as the second midfielder, Olekosand Spivak as the sixth midfielder, Sergij Vasalalovich as the seventh midfielder, and Areksi Ignin as the fifth defender. No. 3 centre-back Martin Horak, No. 18 centre-back Valentin Filatov, No. 17 left-back Milan Udjestica. ”
