Chapter 419: European Cup Winners' Cup Champion (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

When Zheng Zhi strongly attacked the first person in the Bundesliga, the situation of other national football players has hardly changed. Yang Chen, the current main striker of the national football team, is still on the bench in the second round.

In order to save Yang Chen, CCBV5 also launched an essay collection activity in the "Bundesliga chat room" on Sina.com, and the title is also very direct - how can Yang Chen play the main force in Frankfurt? (Please submit your manuscript to: Athletic Storm Editor-in-Chief's mailbox or post it in the Sports Salon)

Today is different from the past, Yang Chen, who dominated the Bundesliga last season, was reduced to a substitute, and without Zheng Zhi by his side, Yang Chen's magical light disappeared and became more and more mediocre.

Since the start of the Bundesliga, Yang Chen has not scored a goal. Yang Chen, who made great contributions to Frankfurt last year, why did he lose his main position? Some people say that Yang Chen's state is not very good, and in the highly competitive arena of the Bundesliga, no one can live comfortably on the credit book. No, there will be teammates who are looking at the delay and snatching the job.

At present, among Eintracht Frankfurt's main strikers, Klose's position is untouchable, and only Saru is his biggest competitor. Strong and agile, the perfect combination of height and strength makes Saru one of the most lethal pieces of artillery in the French team's forward line. In the second half of last season, Yang Chen could still start occasionally, but now he has no such opportunity.

Eintracht Frankfurt have strengthened their defence with the recruitment of new players for the new season and have devised new attacking tactics around Klose. With a more balanced attack and defence, a more versatile striker with the ability to create chances is needed to feed Klose with shells. In comparison, Yang Chen was much worse.

The program team also invited Zheng Zhi to participate, and directly conducted a live broadcast interaction on the Internet.

"Zheng Zhi, you have achieved success in the Bundesliga, in contrast, Yang Chen, who was the first to arrive in the Bundesliga, is in a difficult situation, why do you think Yang Chen still has these problems?"

Yang Chen is a few years older than Zheng Zhi, even if Zheng Zhi mixes well, he still has to weigh it carefully when he speaks.

He said it carefully: "The second season in the Bundesliga will be extremely tough. Yang Chen faces a challenge, and this is a crossroads, which can be reduced to mediocrity, or it may be the path to a truly international star. There are many difficulties and thorns, but only by breaking through and overcoming oneself can we open up a new world. ”

"I don't think it's a technical issue."

Yang Chen and his teammates still lack tacit understanding. He didn't speak German well, which may have made it impossible for Yang Chen to communicate well with these Germanic people. But football is a universal language. Good players have an intuition that can be felt by each other in the changing situation on the field. Just a momentary eye contact can be understood. This is called consciousness. Yang Chen is not very responsive to his teammates in terms of running and responding. ”

"Does this have anything to do with your departure?"

Of course, it's related~ Zheng Zhi thought in his heart, but he didn't blurt it out.

And it has a lot to do with it. Zheng Zhi is a player with excellent footwork awareness and can make exquisite passes. Yang Chen's goal last year was inseparable from his creative inspiration. Yang Chen is a speed-oriented striker, and his personal dribbling breakthrough is not his strength, and the tacit understanding with his teammates is even more necessary.

"It definitely has a certain impact, because we have a common language, but the most important thing is not my departure, but the lack of tacit understanding between Yang Chen and other teammates."

"Football is a sport of 11 men, we have to have a tacit understanding with each teammate, and how to increase the tacit understanding with new teammates is what he should consider in the future."

"Relatively speaking, Li Weifeng and Li Yin have done a good job in this regard, and they have integrated well into the team. Qi Hong also has this problem, in fact, the two of them face very similar dilemmas. We have to be part of the team and not adapt to it. ”

'It's the same for players who want to come to Europe and we have to be prepared, especially when it comes to language.

"Is there anything you want to tell them?"

"Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. As the "pioneer ship" of Chinese players in the Bundesliga, what we need is: to hold the throat of fate. ”

"Well said, Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. We need you pioneer ships to hold fate by the throat! ”

'The Champions League is at home on Wednesday, are you looking forward to it?'

"Of course, it's the first time in my life."

"Last time we beat Parma, confident we beat Lazio this time?"

'Of course there's a lot of confidence, we can beat Parma, we can beat Bayern Munich, we can beat the strong Lazio, but that's only one aspect, Lazio are very strong, they are the strongest opponents in the group stage, we can beat Lazio and we can beat Lazio.

When it comes to Lazio, Zheng Zhi is not as arrogant as Yelang. After all, he knows what a 99-00 Lazio team means, and the team led by Swede Eriksen won the Serie A title......

He hasn't been ashamed to that extent......

The Chinese fans who were watching in the chat room couldn't help but let out a lot of sighs.

"Alas, it's really more popular than people."

"As soon as Zheng Zhi soars into the sky, he can call for wind and rain in the Champions Cup. But Yang Chen, who became famous in the Bundesliga with him, can now only sit on the bench in Frankfurt. Although Yang Chen said it very reasonably, if he didn't leave Frankfurt, Yang Chen wouldn't be so miserable, maybe Frankfurt could stay in the Champions Cup. ”

"As soon as he left, the other Chinese players were inferior to the original, and although Li Yin and Li Weifeng still performed well, they always felt that they had lost some of their spirituality."

"Can you blame Zheng Zhi for this? Oh my God, what's going on all these days? What if Zheng Zhi had never been to Frankfurt? The result? Can you blame Zheng Zhi for not coming to Frankfurt? ”

"Why don't you think about it the other way around, without Zheng Zhi, there would be no time for them to be highlight?"

"Zheng Zhi is still bright after flying solo, but what about them? Didn't Zheng Zhi make it very clear just now? Language! The language is not good! You can't even speak the language well, and you don't take the initiative to learn and integrate into the team, who is to blame? Moreover, I think Zheng Zhi has already said it very politely, he said that there is no problem technically, but is it really not? Everyone hopes that Yang Chen and them will mix well, but the premise must be that they have this ability......"

……

……

Originally, the show made Yang Chen the main force in Frankfurt, but it almost became an interview with Zheng Zhi.

Everyone is more concerned about Zheng Zhi.

Finally, when it comes to the interactive session, the website is even more lively, as fans can ask questions to Zheng Zhi.

It's just that at the beginning, Sina.com was paralyzed, and there were so many fans that the website couldn't bear it at all, and in the end the show had to end awkwardly......

Zheng Zhi was also frightened, he didn't feel it for a minute just now, and tens of thousands of questions were directly refreshed on the Internet, and he just couldn't finish answering them in his life.

After escaping from the 'Bundesliga chat room', Zheng Zhi returned to the training ground, the time difference between China and Germany, Zheng Zhi was interviewed during the day, unlike in China at this time in the middle of the night.

Just in time for Worrall to organize everyone to watch the video in the conference room, it was naturally Lazio's game footage, Wednesday's opponent was the strongest opponent in the group stage, and although Leverkusen faced it at home, they were not sure that they would be able to win against Lazio.

In the 99-00 season, Lazio was an even more formidable presence than Parma. The most terrifying thing is that this season, Lazio won the championship. Parma were the last European League Cup winners, while Laziozhe were the last European Cup Winners' Cup winners!

Take a look at the Lazio squad this season.

Manager: Sven Eriksen, a Swede, made his mark with Sampdoria and joined Lazio in 1998. In fact, Eriksen almost led Lazio to the league title last year, and when Batistuta was injured and Fiorentina withdrew from the title race, they went all the way up, only to be overtaken by AC Milan due to carelessness and inexperience......

This season, Lazio is naturally making a comeback.

Goalkeepers: Luca Maceziani, substitute Marco Balotta, the two goalkeepers are relatively unknown.

The defenders are full of names: Pablo Negro, Giuseppe Favali, Roberto Sencini, Snisa Mihajlovic. Alejandro Nesta, Giuseppe Pancarlo, Grino Gotadi, Fernando Cuto.

Let's take a look at Lazio's super strong midfield configuration.

Sergio ConceiΓ§Γ£o, Diego Simeone, Attilio Lombardo, Pavel Nedved, Dejan Stankovic, Juan VerΓ³n, Matthias Almeida.

The forward line is not far behind.

Alain Bockic, Marcelo Salas, Roberto Mancini, Fabrizio Ravanelli. Italian player, Simeone Inzaghi.

In this lineup, there is no Vieri. Because Mr. 90 billion lira went to Inter Milan to partner with Ronaldo, otherwise their forward line would be even more terrifying......

Each of the Bayer Leverkusen players has a clip in their hand with a photo of the Lazio player printed on A4 paper and detailed instructions. This shows that the preparation of the Leverkusen coaching staff is very thorough, and it is all meticulous to this extent.

Worrall gave everyone more than ten minutes to flip through it, and then stood on the podium and held up the clip.

"That's all there is to Lazio."

"European Cup Winners' Cup winners."

"I want you to understand what this information in my hands means."

"It's a tough opponent like Parma and Bayern Munich, if not stronger."

"Our war has just begun."

Hearing what head coach Worrall said, most of the players were focused, with only a few players looking little at all.

"What is a Cup Winners' Cup?"

Barak grinned.

"The cups have all been cancelled."

"We can't go if we want to, because our ranking doesn't allow us to play in the Cup Winners' Cup, we only qualify to play in the Champions Cup."

"I don't know." Zheng Zhi interrupted him in a low voice.

"Huh? Am I right? If you think about it, the top teams in the top five leagues either played the Champions Cup or the League Cup, and only the underdogs played the Cup Winners' Cup. There are no cups of strong teams, and of course they can be kings. ”

Barak means short general, Lazio is not as awesome as Worrall says.

"So you know that their core is the heart of the midfield that won last year's UEFA Cup? There are also two in it called Nedved and Stankovic, who are no worse than us. ”

"Do you know how strong their captain Nesta's defense is?"

"There's Mihajnovic, who claims to be the best free-kicker."

"And ......"

"This ...... Stop! Barak waved his hand, "How do you know so much?" ”

"Why are you like the coach so much, you like to blow the enemy so strong, Bayern Munich is strong enough, they haven't lost yet, are they stronger than Bayern Munich?"

"I think so." Zheng Zhi shrugged his shoulders, "We have an old saying in China, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we win all battles, you should not underestimate the seven heroes of Serie A, look at their performance in the first two rounds of the league, they are not worse than us at all." ”

"I've seen all this news from the Internet, and if you have time, you can log on to the website to follow the Serie A League. Then again, the Germans are very modest in everything, so why don't you have such merits? ”

Zheng Zhi glanced at Barak.

"Is humility a virtue? This is the first time I've heard that. ”

"I knew that Peron, but I don't really remember him coming from Parma. I don't know about the rest, and I think the media exaggerate the Italian team, they are nowhere near as strong as they think. ”

"You're too cautious, Bayern is just too cautious and crying."

"Michael?"

"What's your mouth beeping? Amplify the sound. ”

Worrall saw that Barak and Zheng Zhi had been beeping, so he asked.

"Boss, I'm discussing with Zheng that Lazio isn't that scary." Ballack did not hide his thoughts, "If I remember correctly, they played in the Champions League for the first time. We're not. They may be good in the Cup Winners' Cup, but in the Champions Cup, most of us are more experienced than them. ”

It is a fact that Bayer Leverkusen's veterans have all played in the Champions League, and Ballack has also played in Kaiserslautern.

"It's just these two guys who are tender."

Barak pointed at Zheng Zhi and Lucio.

Indeed, neither Zheng Zhi nor Lucio have European experience and are indeed rookies.

"Michael, isn't your brain cured yet? I can give you a day off and you go to the hospital for another check-up. ”

"Do you think that the Football Association has not increased the punishment for you, and you are now proud?"

"If everybody had that attitude like yours, we'd have been eliminated after the group stage."

"Boss, didn't you say the same thing at the press conference before?" Barak was a little stubborn and pulled Worrall's words out to refute it.

Worrall snorted coldly, "So I'm the manager and you're the player." ”

"At the press conference, we said it to others, and it was called strategy, and they thought we were proud."

'But in the dressing room, we can't say that, it's called tactics. We must pay enough attention to them. If you think so, we're all stupid! ”

Hey

Zheng Zhi was slightly stunned, when did Worrall read Taizu's quotations, doesn't this mean that he strategically ignores them and attaches importance to them tactically?

Worrall is not simple, he has learned psychological warfare.

"Gather all of you, come and take a good look at Lazio's latest game!" Worrall's face froze, much more serious than just now.

Barak didn't dare to squeak again......

……

……

Almost at the same time, Lazio was also studying Bayer Leverkusen in the tactical boardroom.

The Swede Elkeson stood in front of the tactical board and scratched the crotch of his pants very indecently, but it seemed to be too itchy, and he scratched it several times in a row.

In front of everyone, there were no scruples at all.

The veteran Salas, who was not far away, suddenly whistled, because there was a female secretary standing there holding a document next to her, her face flushed, and she looked so embarrassed.

South Americans are naturally very angry in their bones, and they just flirt with female secretaries.

"Look,"

"This girl is shy, and she seems to have an idea."

Salas finished his whistle and whispered to Veron's ear.

Belon, who was originally serious-looking, couldn't help but look at the female secretary, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

There are several more evil images in my mind.

Eriksen didn't seem to notice his unruly move and continued to explain the tactics. Leverkusen's 352 formation was drawn on the tactical board, and the numbers of the main players were also written on it.

Number 10 is circled by red chalk.

"Juan,"

"You'll have to come back and watch him with Diego often."

"Juan?"

Veron was still a little distracted, and Eriksen called twice in a row.

"Juan!" The third time, Eriksen's glasses were shaking, and apparently, he was angry, and he rarely showed his temper.

"Attention."

"You have to help Diego."

"If you can do it, he can do it. If you don't believe me, you can ask your good friend Ortega. ”

"He's not a good friend of mine."

Belon answered the question, the ghost and that guy are old friends, and I don't have such a brainless good friend~

Thinking of being knocked out of the semi-finals by Ortega's red card in last year's World Cup, Veron is still very depressed.

Still, he answered Eriksen.

"I'll keep an eye on him."

"I can handle him alone." Diego Simeone said suddenly.

"Juan just needs to settle the offense."

Simeone's eyes lit up with a small sting, and he was the most focused and serious player in the room. 'If we focus on him too much defensively, he'll definitely take the air.

'Bayer Leverkusen's five midfielders are very skillful and we can't miss any of them or we're going to suffer. We have to run a lot and cut their passing paths. ”

?

Erikson was a little confused.

Simeone's opinion is good, and he has the potential to be a coach.

"Diego,"

"That's what I'm trying to say, you and Juan have to swap places often and can't be fixed in their own area."

"He's too cunning."

"You have to run, you have to switch places from time to time."

'It's not just that, it's the same rhythm on both wings.'
