"Hey, hey,"

"The sword is not old."

Zhang Lu couldn't help but praise, "Although he is 33 years old, his left-footed passes and shots are still picturesque." ”

"He is still the flag of Bulgaria."

"Stoichkov, Kostadinov, Lechekov, Balakov, Ivanov...... Old fans will be familiar with these names. ”

"It's a pity, in the 1994 World Cup, maybe they should have reached the final." Zhang Lu's thoughts seemed to fall into memories again, when people are old, they like to chatter, and then he talked about the World Cup that year.

"Bulgarian 94 generation."

"If Croatia was a dark horse national team in the mid-to-late 90s, then Bulgaria was a big dark horse in the early stage."

"In the 1994 World Cup, Bulgaria went all the way, finishing second in the group (Nigeria, Bulgaria, Argentina, Greece) on goal difference, and they beat Mexico in the round of 16 and Germany in the quarterfinals, all the way to the semi-finals."

"In the semi-finals, we met Italy led by Baggio, although Baggio scored twice, and then Bulgaria chased it to 1-2, and the referee missed an obvious penalty in the second half, burying Bulgaria of the golden generation."

……

Eintracht Frankfurt started the game with a heavy blow and the situation remained the same as against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the previous round. It's just that the current Stuttgart team is not Balakov's team alone, and it is far from being comparable to Deisler's Borussia Mönchengladbach, their strength is much stronger, and this is still their home stadium.

An excited Barakov ran to the stands near the halfway line, spread his arms and enjoyed the cheers of the fans, his name resounding throughout the stadium.

'It was his third goal of the season.'

"We've been waiting for a long time."

Stuttgart fans were thrilled, and some had tears in their eyes.

Last season, Balakov scored 11 goals in 31 league games, and this season Balakov has only played 14 games and scored 3 goals, which is actually quite beautiful, but injuries are the biggest reason for him, and he cannot play for the team continuously. Some fans even think it's time for Barakov to leave Stuttgart, it's time to retire. However, most of the fans still supported Balakov, and it was clear from the cheers at the scene that he was still deeply loved by the fans.

Alas, another guy like Ruiz Costa, it's really hard to do. Zheng Zhi was full of respect for the fake Elkeson in front of him. There are players who, no matter how you defend him, he can play with ease, create a threat, create goals, and Barakov is one of them.

He also immediately realized that when the team was defending a corner kick just now, they did not protect the area in front of the penalty area, allowing Barakov to shoot too easily. Some players, if you give them space, they have the ability to change the game.

Against Balakov, you can't have naïve ideas, how can you let him calmly get up outside the penalty area?

He walked up to Schneider and said two words.

"Bernd, the next time he takes another corner, you have to watch him as soon as possible, and you can't let him get up easily."

Similar in height, Schneider is nimble and nimble, so it is the most suitable to keep an eye on Balakov.

Captain Nikolov was very depressed and picked up the ball from the goal, this ball is so beautiful, almost a theoretical dead end, maybe he will be selected for the goal of the week, he is going to be the background emperor......

Schuster on the sidelines also couldn't help but curse on the sidelines: "It's so beautiful!" ”

"I hate curveballs!"

……

Matches resumed.

Zheng Zhi won the ball at the back, and the attack started from the right side. On the left side is Brinkman, Zheng Zhi can't believe him, just now because Brinkman missed on the left side, let Barakov create a chance. Shure and Brinkman were still better at defensively, with him and Schneider leading the attack on the right flank.

The continuous collision with the wall cooperated and easily advanced through the half, but Schneider's cross from the right could not be sent to Klose and Yang Chen, and Stuttgart defender Sordo pushed the ball out.

There was still a chance, but Zheng Zhi and Balakov rushed to the ball at the same time.

Zheng Zhi's speed was faster, but Barakov was more cunning, his right hand stealthily pulled Zheng Zhi's jersey, Zheng Zhi's advantage was instantly gone, but Zheng Zhi didn't stop, kicked hard, and continued to rush forward, Barakov was slightly startled, and pulled hard again.

With a squeak, Zheng Zhi's jersey was torn, and the left chest was immediately red in the air.

"Ouch!"

"The jerseys are all torn."

Beep

The referee immediately blew the whistle and then showed Barakov a yellow card.

Balakov looked embarrassed and let go of Zheng Zhi's jersey, "I'm sorry,"

There is no way, the speed can't keep up with Zheng Zhi, he can only make this strategy, he really didn't expect Zheng Zhi to not fall, but to continue to fight for opportunities.

Right now

He took a yellow card and gave Eintracht Frankfurt a set-piece opportunity in front, which was even more of a loss. If Zheng Zhi had fallen earlier, he might not have received a yellow card......

"Hehe, Barakov can't run, there's no way, he can only make this strategy, it's a bit like the Dortmund game, in that game, Hasler can't run either. Zheng Zhicai is only 18 and a half years old, and his youth is his biggest advantage. ”

The Stuttgart fans at the scene were also in an uproar, and immediately felt sorry for Barakov.

"What are the others doing?"

"Why does it have to be Barakov in this position?"

"Is this age a coolie?"

……

Zheng Zhi quickly came off the pitch to change his shirt, but in his absence, Schneider took the set-piece, which flew straight into the stands, and Eintracht Frankfurt wasted a good chance.

Stuttgart's offensive tempo was not fast, Balakov once again controlled the tempo in the backfield, a slow and leisurely attitude, and the veteran players liked to ink and toss in the backfield, which was similar to before.

Yang Chen and Klose stepped up their running in the front court, trying to grab the ball, but the strength of the two was not enough, and they let them slip away.

Djordjevics was able to get on the ball again from Balakov, but this time with Schul on the left to assist Brinkmann in the defense, Djordjevic couldn't rush and had to pick the ball out to his teammate in front.

Only this time it's not the fast horse Akbobori, it's Bobichi. Bobic and Akbopoli switched positions again, but Bobic met his opponent, Grosso, who was also tall, did not let Bobic grab the ball in front of him, and stuck in front of him one step faster than him, and directly gave the ball to Zheng Zhi in the middle!

That's what a good Italian defender is, he's so calm that it's outrageously calm.

Balakov frowned, and rushed to Zheng Zhi again, this time he was going to have a direct confrontation with Zheng Zhi again. He didn't dare to rush too hard, but left nearly two meters of space between the two to prevent Zheng Zhi from rushing up with the ball for a while.

But he was wrong.

Two meters is not enough!

I saw Zheng Zhi quickly adjusting his feet in the back, and finally pushed the ground with his left foot, and when the outside of his right foot touched the ball, he went straight forward!

The ball suddenly rolled forward more than four meters! Zheng Zhi's body also started to sprint in an instant!

"Whew~"

"Beautiful! Pretty! Pretty! ”

"Balakov was seconded by Zheng Zhi!"
