The Cologne team was panicked by the high press of Madiburg, and every player was like a frightened quail, not daring to stick to the ball at all, as if the football was hot. As the leader of the team, Podolski has no way to deal with this, he is a strategic and point-grabbing player, can score goals and organize, but Podolski's skills are a bit rough, speed and strength are his weaknesses, and more importantly, he is a little lazy, far less diligent than Zhuo Yang on the field.

In the second half, the nephew of the original team of Madiburg played the lantern, and Cologne replaced two midfielders, Springer and Nicollich, and Coach Laporte also saw that the waist from home was not hard, but no matter how the tactics were changed, it would be a change of soup and no change of medicine, and the scene could only be - as usual!

In the 55th minute, Zhuo Yang took a free kick on the left side of the penalty area, and the football landing point accurately found the top of the head of the musketeer Gomez, and the condescending head of the troll smashed the net, 4:0.

Ten minutes later, Zhuo Yang and Gomez made a series of short passes in the Cologne penalty area, and they were very swaggering, and Cinki Lovitz couldn't bear it anymore and hugged the back and threw Zhuo Yang to the ground. Referee Rex let out a long sigh and blew for the penalty.

If you don't blow it, it's too obvious, Zhuo Yang and Gomez all looked at him after falling in the penalty area several times, and Rex didn't pay attention: It's almost okay, is it really interesting to have a tragedy? But this time it is too much, otherwise the media will say that I took the money. Even so, referee Rex still showed mercy to his subordinates, otherwise Cinkirowitz, who was already carrying a yellow card, would not have been able to escape.

"Troll, you come and punish, get a hat-trick." Zhuo Yang greeted Gomez.

Gomez was overjoyed: "Okay, it's a real ......"

"Hey, I'll just be polite, why are you still serious."

Gomez: "......" The thumbs up of his right hand were messy in the wind.

In the face of Zhuo Yang's penalty kick in the dead corner, the 36-year-old goalkeeper Bude had no reaction, just half-squatting and letting the goal happen. It's no wonder that Cologne FC has taken a fancy to Madiburg's substitute goalkeeper Superman Edmund.

The score was 5:0, and Zhuo Yang also scored another hat trick, and then he was replaced by Scumbag Klopp with Debichy, and at the same time Gomez, Ibishevic warmed up for a long time.

In the 77th minute, Madiburg replaced Grosso with Schaefer, and on the other side, Laporte also replaced the inactive Podolski with striker Schertz, announcing that he had abandoned the game. However, substitute Schertz made it 5-1 with a last-minute follow-up shot, but he was not shaved down.

.

"Porti, it's a bit of a hang for your team to go on like this." Zhuo Yang and Podolski exchange jerseys.

"Who's to say it isn't! Alas, I can't figure out how hard it was last year, and I have to go back this year. Podolsky said.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yang couldn't help but be stunned!

He said that it was just a casual chatter for the occasion, but he did not expect Podolsky to answer like this. Zhuo Yang pondered in his heart: As the captain, as the soul and leader of the Cologne team, you gave up first, which is probably unreasonable. You think so, what about other people?

Zhuo Yang didn't understand Podolski a little, because he never gave up on football, when the third division was about to pass the halfway point, Madiburg was 10 points behind the penultimate place, Zhuo Yang did not give up, and he has always secretly had the idea of a Jedi counterattack to rush to the second division, and he did it. Cologne is now nothing more than the third-to-last, and it can go ashore with a little effort, how can it just give up, it is far from the danger of Madiburg back then.

In this way, Zhuo Yang looked down on Podolsky in his heart. However, whether Cologne is relegated or not is a family affair and has nothing to do with itself.

"That's really going to fall, what are you going to do? Are you going to go back? Zhuo Yang asked.

The media labelled Podolski as 'loyal', and he accompanied the relegated Cologne in the second division, which was very applauded. But at that time, Podolski was only a rising star in football, and he was not the absolute main force of Cologne, and the premise of his 'loyalty' was the core position of Cologne's commitment. But now it's different, as one of the representatives of the 1985 generation in German football with Zhuo Yang and Gomez, it is difficult for him to be willing to play in the second division.

"I don't know what to do, let's see." Podolsky was a little helpless.

"Porti, loyalty, is not a compliment, it is also a foolish loyalty. Moreover, loyalty is relative, not unilateral. ”

"yes, so I'm having a hard time. Hey, by the way, Zhuo Yang, if, I mean, if Madiburg were relegated, what would you do? Podolsky threw the question to Zhuo Yang.

"Me?" Zhuo Yang was very surprised that Podolsky had asked this question. "I'm not going to let Madiburg relegate, never!"

"Ah~~~Haha~~"

Podolsky: "......"

Something happened after the game!

The fiasco at the beginning of the year finally ignited the anger in the hearts of Cologne fans, who were looking forward to a new year, but the reality hit the fans hard. Instead of going to the trouble of Zhuo Yang and Madiburg, who cut their wounds, the angry Cologne fans took aim at the Cologne club.

More than 3,500 fans blocked the bus and asked club manager Lethik and manager Laporte to come out and talk to them and ask them to explain why the team was in such a difficult situation. In the face of an angry fan base and swear language, the two men did not dare to show their faces. Under the cover of the players, Manager Letick and Coach Laporte sneaked out of the bus and fled the scene in an inconspicuous car.

The Cologne fans didn't disperse until more than two hours later.

The denunciation put a lot of psychological pressure on the manager of the Cologne club, Letik, who submitted his resignation to the board of directors that night. The Cologne hierarchy immediately agreed to Letic's resignation, and a few hours later, Lappuld, the coach without Letick's umbrella, was dismissed by the Cologne board of directors.

A week later, the obscure Swiss Hans Peter Latour changed clubs from the Swiss Grasshopper Club and became the new coach of the Cologne team.

However, changing hands is not necessarily the same as changing knives, and Latour was unable to save Cologne, who finished second from bottom in the Bundesliga and returned to the Bundesliga. Cologne Prince Podolski also failed to continue singing the song of loyalty, and in the tears of the Cologne fans, Prince Porti got his wish and wore the Bayern Munich shirt.

Perhaps, as Zhuo Yang can see, Podolsky's career has been high and low, and he has never reached the height of people's expectations of him, and everyone originally thought that he would replicate Zhuo Yang's successful path.

- The king of role players, the prince of civilian teams!

This is how Podolski will be judged many years later, but he and Schweinsteiger the pig have always been good friends in the German national team.
