Very few French players have played in Germany, and even fewer have succeeded. The best player in the Bundesliga at the moment is France international Lizarazu.

But now Ribery has suddenly come out and has caught the attention of the French football magazine Le Le Corpus.

When the reporter of "Team Daily" appeared on the training ground, everyone thought that he was interviewing Zheng Zhi or Ronaldinho.

Zheng Zhi also knows this reporter, and when the "Golden Globe Awards" were about to be announced at the end of last year, Zheng Zhi was also invited to be interviewed by him.

But today, when they came here, they went directly to Ribery and gave him an exclusive interview.

Ribery was dragged under the shade of a tree and started his first interview, even Germany's most professional football media "Kicker" has not interviewed him, but he has been interviewed by the world's most powerful football media?

I have to say that Ribery's hukou is also very awesome, and his life path has really changed dramatically.

"Zheng,"

"That guy is really going to take my main position."

Beinrich looked depressed, stood beside Zheng Zhi, and looked at Ribery under the shade of the tree from a distance.

"I've had an interview with 'Kicker' in my life, and it's only been half an hour."

"It's been five years, and I haven't gotten it again."

It's pathetic.

Zheng Zhi rolled his eyes, but how should I comfort you?

"It's good to get used to it."

"Actually, it's good not to be disturbed, you see me, I haven't been harassed in two weeks."

"Are you showing your superiority in front of me?" Beinrich glared at him, "The young people are so terrible nowadays that they don't give our veteran players any chance at all." I read a story from The Kicker this morning. ”

"About you."

Beinrich also deliberately highlights this point.

"Oh? What did you say? ”

During this time, Zheng Zhi didn't pay much attention to sports news in Germany, because there was relatively little news about him, and now when he talks about Leverkusen, he will say that Ronaldinho or Ribery, and even Ballack have more news than him.

"Say your stats have dropped dramatically, goals and assists have dropped dramatically."

"This team is no longer your one-man team, there are a lot of people who can replace you, even if you are not on the pitch, Bayer Leverkusen can easily win."

"This ......" assist and goal data, Zheng Zhi recited in his heart. The lack of stats has slipped and he hasn't scored or assisted in several games. The stats that were handed in before were simply perfect, before Ronaldinho was not present, he was almost more eye-catching than the strikers, but when Ronaldinho and Franck Ribery stepped up, his assists and goals were reduced by 80%, and he used to be required to step up a lot of times, but now he is not needed.

Beinrich and The Kicker are telling the truth.

"It's not a good thing to be too low-key."

"You're going to lose the Golden Globe advantage."

Although Beinrich has not been a candidate for the Ballon d'Or, not even a top-50 finisher, he also knows the importance of data for players.

"If you look at the guys who won the awards, who doesn't have excellent data? If you continue to play like this, it will be tragic, even if we win a lot of championships in the end, if you don't have the data, it won't work. ”

"This ......"

Zheng Zhi actually does not agree with Beinrich's statement, not that there are more goals and assists, and the data is conspicuous, so the effect is greater, and vice versa. But what he said is not without reason.

The most typical example is Barcelona's later Dream Three Dynasty, how much did Xavi and Iniesta contribute to Barcelona? But because of the lack of data and Messi's data in the team, although the two of them won two European Championships and a World Cup in those years, as well as four Champions Leagues, they never won the Ballon d'Or.

Can you say they don't matter?

No, on the contrary, without the two of them, it is estimated that many championships would not have been won, but the result was that Messi took the Ballon d'Or.

When the Golden Globes were selected, they also scored high, but after all, they got nothing.

So Beinrich really reminded him.

"Yours for your own sake."

"You look at Ballack, has his stats dropped? No. ”

"So you have to do that too, keep your own data."

"This ......"

Zheng Zhi still didn't know how to answer.

Don't want the Golden Globes?

Of course not. In this turbulent and starry era, I have such a huge advantage, of course, it can't be just like this. The Golden Globe must be won! Definitely not willing to be left behind.

It's definitely not a good thing that the stats are seriously shrunk, and he has to bring them back, of course, as long as it doesn't hurt the team.

He made up his mind.

However, in the last round of the Champions League, it seems that he still can't start, after the draw away from Fiorentina, Bayer Leverkusen has won the group, Worrall is unlikely to let him play, he wants to brush up on the data, and he has to wait until the away game against Ulm.

In midweek, Worrall didn't even put Ronaldinho in the starting line-up, with the two sitting on the bench together, with only Ballack and Emerson supporting the middle, with Ribery and Benerrich on either side.

However, the focus of this round is not on Bayer Leverkusen and Bordeaux, but on Manchester United's match against Fiorentina at Old Trafford, and almost all of Europe is focused on this match. Manchester United must win two goals at Old Trafford to qualify against Fiorentina, can they do that?

It's a pity that the last round of games was played at the same time, but Zheng Zhi sat on the bench and couldn't see the live broadcast at all.

However, Zheng Zhi is obviously not a good guy, he had prepared a radio earlier and secretly brought it to the bench so that he could secretly listen to the live broadcast on the radio, he didn't believe that Worrall would send him out in the game, even if Leverkusen was behind.

Of course, Bordeaux didn't plan to make things difficult for Bayer Leverkusen here, they have already been eliminated, so why bother to play against Bayer Leverkusen here, the team's fierce Wiltord did not play, and midfielder Miku also sat on the bench. So in this game, both sides just go through the process, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

Squeak squeak,

Zheng Zhi skillfully tuned the radio channel and soon learned about the live broadcasts of Manchester United and Fiorentina.

The game started almost at the same time, and Zheng Zhi curled up in his coat and didn't watch the game at all......

Soon, a new score came over the radio, and Batistuta took the lead with a header that Barthez was guarding the door.

Batistuta pulled Fiorentina back and United fell into the abyss of death, meaning that United had to play 3-1 to have any hope of a comeback!

Poor Manchester United, Zheng Zhi muttered in his heart. He's a Man Utd fan through and through! Although he has never admitted it in front of the media.

Ronaldinho, who was sitting next to him, looked at Zheng Zhi suspiciously from time to time, not knowing what he was doing with a radio in his hand, and he couldn't understand the English coming out of it anyway.

Soon there were explosive cheers on the radio!

"Oh yes!"

"Oh yes!"

"Oh yes!"

Zheng Zhi suddenly stood up from the bench and raised his arms and shouted! Shouted three sentences loudly.

Manchester United equalised through Ryan Giggs.

"Huh?"

Ronaldinho was dumbfounded, Zheng Zhi was so smoking? What do you suddenly jump up to celebrate?

Bayer Leverkusen didn't score, it's still 0:0.

Zheng Zhi's unusual behavior immediately attracted the attention of all his teammates on the bench, and even the on-site cameras were aimed at Zheng Zhi.

"This ......"

"What is Zheng Zhi doing? Sleepwalking? ”

In the live broadcast room of the German National Sports Channel, after the live camera captured this picture, Breitner also wondered.

"Bayer Leverkusen didn't score?"

"Wait, how can he have a tape recorder in his hand?"

"The cheer just now should be...... Could it be that he was listening to the live broadcast of the match between Manchester United and Fiorentina? This is the time when Manchester United equalizes? ”

"It's a really big possibility."

"So he's supposed to be a Manchester United fan? He's gone a little too far, the team is playing, but he's listening to the radio right now. ”

Breitner was a little speechless.

Bayer Leverkusen fans in front of the TV were also a little speechless after listening to Breitner's analysis.

"Won't it?"

"Breitner is pure speculation, how could Zheng Zhi be like this, but he does hold the radio,"

"It's a bit disrespectful to the game."

"If he's a really Manchester United fan, it's a possibility."

At the scene, Worrall's eyes also looked at Zheng Zhi, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi also knew that it was not good for him to do this, so he quickly put the radio into his coat, but the radio was still not turned off.

At this time, the score on the pitch was still 0:0, and nothing changed.

There were still exciting voices on the radio from time to time, but it was clearly not another goal.

It wasn't until the end of the first half that Zheng Zhi heard the host's crazy voice again.

Goal's voice almost burst the radio.

But this time, Zheng Zhi didn't have the embarrassing behavior just now, he was just very excited in his heart.

At 2:1, Manchester United took the lead at home, and the goal was scored by Andy Cole.

The scoreline doesn't guarantee United progress for the time being, and they need another goal, but for now, they have a lot of hope given that this is Old Trafford.

At halftime, Worrall didn't have anything special to explain, but found Zheng Zhi and asked what happened just now.

Zheng Zhi didn't hide it, and told him directly about the radio.

Worrall clearly disagreed, so in the second half, Zheng Zhi's radio was not confiscated, but it was not allowed to be brought into the field.

In the second half, he could only sit on the bench and watch his teammates play. To be honest, the match between Bordeaux and Bayer Leverkusen was not really interesting, both sides played as substitutes, and the tactical level played was not spectacular.

However, the climax always came at the end, and in the 81st minute of the game, Ribery broke through with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, wiped the ball into the box, and then fired a low left-footed shot into the top left corner of the goal on the small penalty line, finally rewriting the score to 1:0.

Franck Franck Ribery, who scored his first professional goal, rushed to the cameras near midfield and roared.

It was his first goal and of course he was thrilled, excited. Although the competition was not important, it was too important for him personally, and he took another solid step.

With this goal, Bayer Leverkusen beat Bordeaux 1-0 at home, and in the standings, Bayer Leverkusen also reached 14 points from the group.

After 6 rounds of the group stage, Bayer Leverkusen won four and drew two, ranked first in the group, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup with an unbeaten record.

Back in the locker room, Zheng Zhi finally knew the result of another game.

United also scored late on, with a third headed in by Stam.

3:1。

Manchester United beat Fiorentina 3-1 at home.

That means Manchester United beat Fiorentina by eight points to advance to the knockout rounds.

Although Fiorentina also got 8 points, Manchester United had the advantage in the battle between the two sides, so they could only be eliminated.

On this night, the quarterfinals of the 1999~2000 Champions Cup came out.

They are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Lazio, Bayer Leverkusen, Chelsea, Porto, Manchester United.

Two teams in the Bundesliga, two teams in La Liga, two teams in the Premier League, one in Serie A and one in Portugal.

The draw for the knockout rounds will be held the next day, and according to the rules, in the quarter-finals, teams from the same country will definitely avoid it, teams in the same group will also avoid it, and the team that wins the group will also avoid it, which means that Bayer Leverkusen's opponents can only be one of Chelsea, Porto and Barcelona.

Who is drawn?

Worrall was asked this question by reporters at a press conference.

'Chelsea, Porto, Barcelona are all three strong teams.

"But I hope it's Porto."

Subconsciously, Worrall chose Porto.

Chelsea are a tough nut to crack in the Premier League, not to mention Barcelona's quality, with the new Ballon d'Or and Rivaldo of the World Footballer of the Year, he certainly wants to meet Porto.

"What if you draw Barcelona?"

'That's nothing, we're not afraid of any team, Bayer Leverkusen have the ability to beat any team.'

"After qualifying for the knockout rounds, is Bayer Leverkusen's goal to win the title?"

"No, our goal is to find a way to get to the last four, we haven't thought that far yet."

Low profile.

"Why did Zheng suddenly burst into cheers from the bench? I heard he was listening to the radio and watching Manchester United and Fiorentina at the time? ”

"He did bring a radio with him, but I don't know exactly what he listened to."

Of course, Worrall would not say that Zheng Zhi really listened to the game, which had a bad impact.

"Maybe he's listening to music and can't help it?"

Worrall now wants nothing more than to fly to Nyon, Switzerland, for tomorrow's Champions League draw.

Can't wait to find out who Leverkusen's opponent is.

But then Ronaldinho was interviewed by Bild outside the stadium and confessed to Zheng Zhi.

"I was confused,"

"I don't know what he was doing with a radio, but when the cheers came, he jumped on the bench."

'But then I found out in the dressing room that he was listening to the game between Manchester United and Fiorentina, and he was following the game so much that he turned on the TV as soon as he got the game and he was overjoyed when he saw Manchester United beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-1.

"So he's a Manchester United fan, huh?"

Ronaldinho chuckled: "I think so." ”

'He's definitely a Manchester United fan and he's not ordinary.

Pig teammates.

This guy is definitely a pig teammate, and this kind of thing is going to break out.

Ronaldinho may have had it unintentionally, but his unintentionality got the English media excited.

BBC - Hammer it down, Zheng Zhi is a die-hard Manchester United fan, a guy who can still hold the radio and listen to Manchester United games in his own team games, he is not a Manchester United fan?

The BBC reported on its website.

Manchester United fans, who were originally very excited, scolded Zheng Zhi for the first time.

"Ah, damn Zheng,"

"If you're a Manchester United fan, why didn't you volunteer to help Manchester United in the last round? Nearly killed Manchester United. ”

"Is this what a Manchester United fan is called? I almost killed you! ”

'Thankfully, Ronaldinho helped a lot and we beat Fiorentina at home.

"Come on, join Manchester United, what's the use of cheering for Manchester United on the Bayer Leverkusen bench? Joining Manchester United is good for Manchester United! ”

……

……

Leverkusen fans are naturally aware of this matter, and they are really dissatisfied with Zheng Zhi.

"It's too much, listen to other games in your own team games."

"Is that much that much about Manchester United?"

'I feel like I want to go upside down, and I have a bad feeling that this guy is going to join Manchester United at the end of the season.

"I thought he was loyal to Bayer Leverkusen, and this incident completely betrayed him."

According to the Chinese, that is, being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, Leverkusen fans certainly have reason to be unhappy.

You can't eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot, it's too greedy.

'Thankfully we have Ronaldinho and Ribery and he's not indispensable now.'

"Even without him, I think we're still strong."

"Look at his recent stats, no goals, no assists, what does he contribute to the team?"

There are some extreme fans who don't care about Zheng Zhi anymore, especially from the data, Zheng Zhi is really inconspicuous.

Of course, this is only a very small part, most fans don't think this is serious, and there is one fan who defended Zheng Zhi.

"Why don't you just listen to the radio?"

"He won't be able to play in this game, and at the same time listen to the other games are nothing, Ronaldinho and Ribery have been playing very well recently, but without Zheng Zhi at the back, the team's results will not be so consistent. You can be upset with Zheng Zhi, but don't think that his role has been reduced. ”

"When you play a strong team, you can see his role, although the offensive stats have dropped, but what about the defensive stats? Don't be misled by some unscrupulous media. Zheng Zhi averaged 5 tackles and 4 clearances per game, with an 80% duel success rate, an average of 102 passes and a distance of 11.2 kilometers. These statistics are super top-notch, who can compare to him? ”

"Taking Effenberg as an example, Effenberg averaged 3 steals per game, 2 clearances, a dueling success rate of 71%, an average of 78 passes, and a running distance of 10.1 kilometers.

"I said it in such detail, do you understand?"

"Moreover, the offensive statistics are also very good, he averaged 5 threatening passes per game, and almost all the threatening offenses were planned by him, while Effenberg's data is very bleak, with an average of 1.8 threatening passes per game, Zheng Zhi has a total of 14 goals and 16 assists on all fronts, and Effenberg has only scored 7 goals and 6 assists so far, how can this be explained?"

This is the kind of professional football fan, and the list of defensive stats is enough to scare a lot of people.

The extreme guys are voiceless.

Because the data is real, and then it is slapped in the face.

Effenberg is one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga and Germany, and is still in his prime, and Zheng Zhi's stats are even more beautiful than his? And more than just a little pretty, is Zheng Zhi's performance poor? Of course not, it's an insult to the word 'poor'.

In fact, Zheng Zhi is the most dominant midfielder in the Bundesliga and even in Europe, whether it is offensive or defensive, the offensive data has dropped just because he doesn't need to be as busy as before, but the data on the defensive end has always been very perverted.

The scary thing is that he is an all-round midfielder who is not inferior to his opponent in any stats, compared to attacking? Zheng Zhi is awesome, better than defense? Zheng Zhi is also awesome, he can't be black at all.

With 14 goals and 16 assists, it is already a bombing existence, and no one can match it for the time being.

But just like Beinrich chatted with Zheng Zhi before, his data has declined, which is just relative to Zheng Zhi himself, compared with others? There is no such thing as a low!
