Chapter 207: Sancho's Blessing
The Dortmund twins' presence in the Champions League is already huge news.
Needless to say, Jadon Sancho's performances in the Champions League last season have once again proved his worth with a spectacular performance.
This is a sad move for many clubs that failed to invest heavily in Sancho's move last season.
But Sancho's performance was expected, and the emergence of another supernova did detonate the whole of Europe.
CAN Erlin. Erling Haaland, a 19-year-old Norwegian, has shocked the fledgling youngster's meteoric burst into the Champions League.
When Reus was injured and the captain missed the game, Haaland became the arrowhead of Dortmund's attack.
The blonde striker sent his opponent into despair with a brilliant burst shot.
Even many people began to compare Haaland with Mbappe, but unfortunately Mbappe is still in Paris Saint-Germain and missed the Champions League this season, and the duel between the two supernovas could not be realized in the end.
But some people laughed that Mbappe has become obsolete before he has been popular for a long time.
Of course, this is also an affirmation of Haaland's performance.
In addition to Haaland, Dortmund also tried to use Gotze, who returned from injury, in the league, and this key kick helped the German team win the Hercules Cup, and now he is no longer the Super Mario of the past.
After the injury, Gotze was no longer a top player, and even at Borussia Dortmund, he rarely played.
Now Dortmund is willing to take in Götze, most of the reason is because Götze is a player who has walked out from here, their friendship is still there, and they are also looking forward to Götze being able to return to the top, but according to Götze's current performance, Dortmund may be disappointed.
Back to the point, Haaland has been hailed as football's biggest surprise.
A hat-trick in the first round of the Champions League made him the third-youngest player to wear a hat-trick in Champions League history, behind England star Wayne Rooney and former Real Madrid Lord of the Rings Raul.
Of course, the media is still waiting to see Haaland's performance.
After all, they won't be able to play in the next game.
As a team in Group F, each of them has a mountain in common that needs to be flipped over, and that is Barcelona.
Haaland and Sancho are indeed strong, but can they really compare to Messi and Yile?
The first two are fledgling youngsters.
One of the latter two is the successful king of Barcelona, and the other is a super midfielder who has swept the Champions League for nearly three years.
The comparison between the two pales in comparison.
Don't forget that in last season's Champions League, when Dortmund played against Paris Saint-Germain, Sancho, who was blown into the sky by the media, was almost invisible throughout the game.
Yile's super-dominance in midfield almost broke down Dortmund's midfield, causing the entire forward line to fall.
At the time, the photo of Sancho crying bitterly after the game became a big news of the year.
Now, how Sancho, who is in the Champions League the next day, will perform against Yile and Barcelona, is something that many media are concerned about.
And at this time, "Kicker" conducted an exclusive interview with Sancho.
Reporter: "What do you feel like has changed the most this year?" ”
Facing the camera, the young Sancho said: "The change in mentality, even though the players are all competing for victory, but in this competitive spirit, I have become more composure, I can accept defeat and not make me cry again." ”
Speaking of which, Sancho grinned: "In fact, last year's game was a big shock to us, Paris Saint-Germain was too strong at the time, and that strength was a huge pressure, as if no matter how well we played, we couldn't beat them. ”
The reporter nodded, he knew that feeling, after all, last year's Paris Saint-Germain was called a historic powerhouse.
"Next up is against Barcelona, this season is easy to move to Barcelona, you have to face him again in the stadium, is there any pressure?"
Jadon Sancho: "There's definitely pressure, he's one of the best midfielders on the planet anyway, he's aggressive and if we get down he will use everything to break us down, so targeting Yi is a very crucial thing. ”
The reporter was surprised: "So, you guys are going to make a fuss in the middle of the next game?" ”
Sancho raised an eyebrow; "I have nothing to say about that."
"Okay." Feeling rather sorry, the reporter continued to ask: "With Reuss injured this season, the Norwegian star has emerged, and he successfully scored a hat-trick in the last game, will he be the key point to trip Barcelona?" ”
Jadon Sancho: "Haaland is good, but he's too young. We haven't been a European team all the way through, so it's normal for him to have performances like that and he needs more games to hone himself, especially against a big club like Barcelona, which helps him a lot. ”
'As for putting Haaland at a crucial point in the game, I think it's too cruel for him and he shouldn't be under that pressure, it's a thing for us as a team.
Reporter: "You once said that you are a fan of Wayne Rooney, but then you uploaded a photo of Yi lifting the Champions League on Twitter, what does this mean?" ”
Sancho pursed his lips and said: "There are two reasons, the first is blessing, after all, they defeated us to win the final championship, and this will be deserved by their fear." The second point is that after that game, I found Yi to be a player who deserves respect. ”
'I'm a very good guy and in my football days I had to look up to Rooney, so I got into professional football and I followed Rooney and I've achieved a lot of things. But when I felt that I had enough strength, Yi told me again that he was still someone I needed to look up to. ”
"He's my target, I respect him a lot, but at the same time I want to beat him!"
Reporter; "Is there anything that is relatively easy to say?"
Hearing this, Sancho took a deep breath, looked directly at the camera and said: "I will prove that I have enough growth in the next game, I will not be invisible like last season." ”
After a pause, Sancho hesitated; "I think I should congratulate you on winning this year's Golden Globes."
As soon as this sentence landed, the reporter looked at Sancho with some surprise.
On the other hand, Sancho smiled and said, "Can't you say this? This is my personal opinion. ”
The reporter was pleasantly surprised; "Absolutely!"
That night, Germany was filled with interviews with Sancho.
More media were surprised that Sancho congratulated Yile on winning the Ballon d'Or in advance, and it seems that the ownership of this year's Ballon d'Or has been decided in the minds of most stars.
In fact, not only the captains of various national teams, but also many media votes, Yile is also the final winner.
After all, the results of three consecutive Champions League games are there, and after excluding the World Cup and the European Cup, Yile's results are enough to be proud of everyone.
