When everyone was optimistic that Leverkusen would usher in seven consecutive league wins, a 1:3 defeat showed everyone that there is no winning general in this world, and there will still be a defeat after all.

At the press conference, Worrall was visibly frustrated, "It was an unexpected failure. ”

'I thought we could get at least a draw here, but Wolfsburg taught us a lesson, we were a little bit undervalued.

'Emerson isn't in great form, but he's just returned from injury, so I don't blame him, every player can't always be at his best, even I'm in a lot of goal droughts, and in fact the whole team isn't in good shape.

Two of the goals conceded were directly linked to Emerson, but Worrall still didn't blame him.

'Next we should think about the Champions Cup, we have to go to Rome to challenge Lazio and if possible, we want to win the group.'

"It's a pity that Zheng hasn't recovered from his injury yet, and we can only forget about him."

Worrall made no secret of his desire to win the group. The first and second, the opponents assigned are not the same, the second stage is really full of heroes, if you go to a group of death, it will be cool.

Although Lazio and Bayer Leverkusen both qualified for the tournament, they also scored first and second.

At the same time, he misses Zheng Zhi very much, but unfortunately Zheng Zhi is not there. If Zheng Zhizhi is there, his team may be much better.

……

……

The loss also made the entire German media cheer, everyone was expecting Bayer Leverkusen to lose, and finally waited for this day.

"Kicker" shouted - after six consecutive wins, finally ushered in a defeat! The suspense of the Bundesliga championship is reborn! No one could have imagined this defeat, after all, Wolfsburg had just been slaughtered by Bremen with a score of 2:7, but football is so magical, you never know what the score will be when the ninety minutes are not over. Now Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich both see hope, and the difference of three points is not far off, only one win.

The Kicker is not optimistic about Bayer Leverkusen's away game in the Champions League, "If Bayer Leverkusen continue to play like they did against Wolfsburg, it will be difficult to get a win in Roma and Lazio will crush them. Losing this game in the Bundesliga actually gave Worrall a warning that his side are not invincible. Emerson is out of form and Ballack can't be brave all the time unless ...... It is possible that the Chinese will come back, otherwise Bayer Leverkusen will have a hard time away from home. ”

Bild - Bundesliga title suspense has been revived, with Bayer Leverkusen losing unexpectedly away to Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. After a spectacular six-game winning streak, Bayer Leverkusen finally suffered their first defeat of the season, in fact they were exhausted at Dynamo Kyiv, only to lose today, and perhaps they will still have a second defeat next Wednesday, but in the Champions League, against Italian leaders Lazio, it is unlikely that Leverkusen's will be able to walk away from home.

Deutsche Zeitung – Heathfield sees hope of winning the trophy, but he first has to think about how to qualify for the Champions Cup! Although Bayer Leverkusen have lost, Heathfield will only have their sights set on the Champions League at the moment, and they must not afford to miss the slightest mistake as they must beat Rangers at home.

Eintracht Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung – Bayer Leverkusen finally lost, there is a question, in the game where Zheng Zhi played, Bayer Leverkusen were undefeated, if, if Zheng Zhi was on the field, would Leverkusen lose this game?

……

……

Although the German media are talking about Leverkusen's defeat, but within Leverkusen, the game did not cause much waves, Worrall gave the team a day and a half off to let the players rest completely, there was no training on Sunday and Monday morning, and he believes that the players' fitness and condition need to be rested to adjust.

On Monday afternoon, when the players reappeared at the training ground, they were in good spirits, and even Zheng Zhi returned to the training ground.

"Zheng,"

"Where's your review report?"

Seeing Zheng Zhi, Worrall directly asked him for the inspection report.

As a result, Zheng Zhi quickly offered it with both hands.

"Chief,"

"I want to play."

"There was nothing wrong with the inspection report."

Worrall remained silent, took the inspection report and flipped it over, of course he hoped that Zheng Zhi could play, but the premise was that Zheng Zhi was fully recovered, there could not be any risk, it didn't matter if he didn't get the first place in the group, Zheng Zhi's health was the most important, what he needed was a season, not a win.

There was nothing wrong with the data, and he finally nodded.

"No problem."

"I'll let you start."

"But don't talk about it, I don't want Lazio to know I'm going to start you. I also told the media the day before yesterday that you can't get hurt, you can't make it to the game. ”

"Maybe, they'll come off the bench or not." ’

"It was a secret until the first ten minutes of the game."

Lazio only need a draw to top the group and it doesn't look like the pressure is on them, and maybe they'll look down on Bayer Leverkusen, who is on his heels.

"yes, I understand."

In Worrall's eyes, Zheng Zhi has no substitute, as long as Zheng Zhi is healthy, he is the starter, the core! Not one of them! Emerson and Ballack are both candidates.

In the subsequent training, he did not arrange Zheng Zhi to train with the team, but trained alone. This is the absolute trust in Zheng Zhi, even if he does not train with the team, he believes that Zheng Zhi is competent enough to start.

※※※※

Rome, Lazio training base.

"How?"

Eriksen stood on the sidelines of the training pitch and asked the assistant coach as he watched the team practice.

"I just received a phone call, and the Chinese did not train with the team."

Eriksen was very cautious, preventing Worrall from setting off smoke bombs, although Worrall said in front of the media that Zheng Zhi's injury was not good, but he couldn't believe it, and asked someone to go to Leverkusen's training ground to secretly investigate.

Now, it seems, his suspicions were unfounded. Zheng Zhi didn't train with the team, how could he start?

Nothing.

In this way, he can arrange a different starting line-up tomorrow, and he really doesn't want to let all the main players play, after all, Lazio is more tight in the domestic league, and there is no pressure in Europe. A win or a draw at minimal cost would be a victory for Lazio and the top spot in the group would be retained......
