Chapter 462: Sublimation in the Ice and Snow (Seeking ...... Referral Ticket)
Ukraine, Kyiv Dynamo.
Frozen. It had just snowed heavily and covered the entire city, as the training ground was simply not usable because the maintenance technology of the stadium was so outdated.
Not only did Worrall cancel training, but he also abandoned the idea of adaptive training at the Dynamo Kyiv stadium. He thought it wasn't going to be much better, he just hoped it wouldn't snow again tomorrow, otherwise it would be too difficult to play.
In recent years, many European teams have not won here, and it would be nice to get a draw. Bad weather, bad pitches make this a nightmare for the away team.
Worrall has a cautious perception of this away game.
The disciples could only train in the gym of the hotel.
"It's so cold,"
"It's much colder than Germany,"
"It's easy to hurt this place,"
Even before the game began, Ze Roberto began to get worried. As a technical player, he hates to play in this kind of weather the most, when the speed can't get up, the dribbling can't play, and he can only play with the opponent.
"If I could, I'd love to take a shift."
He still wants to take a rotation, but in order to prepare for this game, Worrall put him on the bench last weekend, and he still wants to take a rotation? Dream on.
"Then you can rest until the end of the season, if you want, a lot of people want to come up, Ze, you are too rich, Ponte is always watching you."
"If you're willing to give him the main position."
Zheng Zhi teased.
'That's not good, if you can't play the main team, then football is not fun, I'd rather sit in the stands than sit on the bench. Kyiv Dynamo should have given up, right? What if they get nine points in the next three games? We just have to beat Maribo at home. ”
Ze Roberto is still not optimistic about Dynamo Kyiv, "Can they still beat Lazio at home?" I don't believe it. ”
"Who knows? Let's go all out, we can't afford to slack off when we don't have the right to qualify, we can't put all our hopes on the home game against Maribo, we have to get points if we can get them. ”
Zheng Zhi, who has experienced countless tragedies in his previous life, will definitely not think like Ze Roberto.
"If you think too much, we'll definitely qualify."
Ze Roberto raised his hand and touched the top of his head, Zheng Zhi looked at it, and couldn't help but remind kindly:
"Ze, there is a bit of a danger of becoming Mediterranean in the middle of your head, pay attention to nutritional matching."
"I'm on par with Zidane, the less hair, the more powerful, don't you look at Ronaldo?"
"And how does Maradona explain it?"
"Perhaps, maybe it's Mao Shao below, right?"
……
……
Inside the Dynamo training base in Kyiv, Lobanovsky was wrapped in a thick military jacket and observed the performance of his disciples on the field. Despite the bad weather, he continued to train on a daily basis. However, the training time has also been reduced from four hours to two hours.
Seeing that the weather was getting worse and worse, he finally ended his training early again.
"At the end of the training, everyone goes in and takes a hot shower, and then immediately goes home to rest, and there is no irresistible reason to leave the house."
"Tomorrow I need everybody to be in the locker room."
After sending the disciples away, he and the assistant coach went to the tactical conference room to continue studying the tactics of the game. He didn't give up the Champions Cup, and if he did, the season would be meaningless. In the domestic arena, Dynamo Kyiv has won eight consecutive titles, and only Europe is full of temptation.
As long as there is still hope in theory, he will not give up, even if he is eliminated in the end, he will still give it his all, after all, the third place in the group still has the League Cup to play.
So in the starting lineup he formulated, it is completely the absolute workhorse of Dynamo Kyiv. Kaha Kaladze and Husin who have just returned from injury were all put in the starting lineup by him.
He even thinks that if these two guys are healthy, this season will not be difficult in the Champions Cup. Of course, if Luzny doesn't go to Arsenal, it's more secure.
At this time, he already has a bottom of the starting lineup in his heart, and he is waiting for tomorrow to be announced.
Goalkeeper Shovkowski.
Defenders Marcini, Hrovka, Vascuk, Kaladze.
Midfielders Haskovic, Kadash, Husin, Kossovski, Berkovic.
Striker Rebrov.
He fought with his back to the water, but he was full of absolute confidence, after all, he welcomed back the strongest squad at home.
The next day, he announced his starting line-up early, and shortly thereafter, Worrall also announced his starting line-up for Bayer Leverkusen. Worrall opted for caution and rotated the weekend for this fight.
Goalkeeper Marty Seck.
Defenders Mazic, Hap, LaMelo, Gresco.
Midfielders Beinrich, Zheng Zhi, Ballack, Ze Roberto.
Forwards Kirsten, Link.
At this time, the Dynamo Stadium in Kyiv was not called Lobanovsky Stadium, because Lobanovsky was still healthy, and when he left this world, the stadium was named after him.
Fifteen thousand fans poured into the stadium to support the home team. Lobanovsky's name turned out to be the loudest.
It's very peculiar.
Perhaps the biggest hero here is Lobanovsky. Of course, if Shevchenko was also there, then he would have received a high voice.
"Lads,"
"It's time to defend the glory of the home stadium with action!"
"Let's go!"
Lobanovsky's deep voice rang out in the locker room, and his disciples burst out with murderous aura. This made the already cold air even colder.
At least that's what Zheng Zhi thinks, as if he is in a lifeless stadium, surrounded by cold.
It's going to be an incredibly tough race!
Worrall just said that today's game with Dynamo Kiev must not be played against each other, but to play steadily, in the locker room, Worrall told Zheng Zhi and Ballack a thousand times, I am afraid that these two guys will play high and play unscrupulously, so it will be more complicated than Se.
This kind of weather is really not suitable for bayonet fighting, but try to control the ball on your side, avoid too strong physical contact with the opponent, and avoid injury.
But that was just wishful thinking on his part, and as the whistle pierced the cold sky, the Dynamo Kyiv players all pressed up. Although they played in a 451 formation, they were not conservative at all.
As soon as the game began, the Leverkusen players were quite uncomfortable with the field. Ballack slipped when he got the ball at the back, but fortunately Zheng Zhi was not far from him and still controlled the ball back.
However, Husin immediately pounced on him, and he did not dare to control the ball, and passed the ball back to LaMelo, who smelled danger and drove it out with a big kick.
Everyone seemed to feel the slightest bit wrong, the other party was too fierce, and they didn't seem to have any scruples about the slippery field.
But Leverkusen's players can't?
It's really like walking on thin ice, and I can't play it at all. As a result, Dynamo Kyiv quickly completed a shot on goal, and right under Zheng Zhi's nose, Husin took a cold shot from outside the penalty area.
boccia,
With a click, the ball bounced off the turf and headed straight for the bottom right corner of the goal. Marty Seck's attention was quite concentrated, but after falling to the ground, he still chose to drag the ball out of the bottom line, not daring to catch the ball, what if he got rid of it?
Looking at the Dynamo Kyiv fans in the sky, they almost shouted, thinking that the goal had been scored.
For the first time, Worrall expressed his displeasure with Zheng Zhi.
"Zheng!"
"Keep an eye on people!"
This time, Zheng Zhi really didn't target the good people, which made Hu Xin so easy to get up. But Zheng Zhi can't help it, on this field, he can't play his best, and the other teammates are the same?
As soon as Worrall's voice fell, Zheng Zhi didn't have time to respond, and Dynamo Kyiv was about to send a corner kick, not giving Leverkusen a chance to set up a defensive line at all.
With a whew, the ball landed on the edge of Bayer Leverkusen's penalty area and bounced off at incredible speed. In a hurry, Ballack raised his right foot subconsciously and blocked the ball from the bottom line, which was still a corner.
"Marking!"
"Marking!"
Even the veteran LaMelo was a little flustered and hurriedly commanded the opponent to defend.
Another Ukrainian warhead hit, this time the ball was finally pushed out by Hap, but outside the big penalty area, there was another cold shot, Kadash volleyed with his left foot, and a beautiful arc crossed the sky, directly towards the top left corner of the goal.
With a snort, he flew out of the bottom line with the side net.
!!!
The stands sighed instantly, and the score changed just a little, and as a result, he missed two scoring opportunities in a row.
"Steady,"
"Steady."
"Don't rush to serve."
Zheng Zhi also made his voice, afraid that Matty Sek kicked the ball out with a big foot, and in this case, the other party was probably going to sweep again.
"We've got to keep it."
"The formation stays compact."
"Pull it back."
"Keep an eye on it!"
The field factor obviously did not affect Dynamo Kyiv, and the Leverkusen players wanted to cry. If the game keeps going like this, it will be too uncomfortable, the initiative is not on their side at all.
At this time, the ball was at the feet of Majic, he didn't dare to rush forward as before, and handed the ball to Zheng Zhi almost on the spot, Ballack waved at him, and Zheng Zhiping pushed it.
Bang –
The physically strong Ballack was actually knocked to the ground by Kossovsky when he received the ball?!
It is estimated that the soles of his feet slipped and he couldn't stand firm at all, so the other party rushed up and gave him a blow.
Barak was lying on the turf in pain, half of his face was wet, and you can imagine how painful the fall was. However, the referee did not take out the card, after all, the collision was not very big, and Ballack also had personal problems.
Barak endured the pain and got up, didn't say anything, just bit his lip, probably panicked in his heart.
However, the ball is still Leverkusen's, Zheng Zhi chose the easiest way, directly to the Kyiv Dynamo penalty area, but no teammates grabbed the landing point, but was easily picked up by Machini on the right side.
Machini immediately sends a long ball over the top! Just look for Rebrov.
Although Rebrov watched the incoming ball as he ran, his speed was not slow at all. On the contrary, LaMelo could not keep up with him, fortunately Gresco on the wing quickly cut inside, but it was still a step too late, and Rebrov stopped the ball in mid-air directly on his chest to the right side of Leverkusen's penalty area!
At the same time, Berkovic on the left actually crossed Hap and quickly formed a flank from the left!
Oops!
Although Zheng Zhi defended the middle, he was unable to provide support on either side, and by the time he rushed back to the edge of the penalty area, Rebrov had already crossed the ball.
Berkovic easily fired a left-footed shot into the bottom left corner of the goal.
0:1。
Bayer Leverkusen are behind!
This is how they devastated Dynamo Kyiv at home against Dynamo Kyiv, and now away from home, it's Dynamo Kyiv's turn to destroy them!
Conceding in the opening 3 minutes.
There was no colder time than this moment, and the stands finally erupted in deafening cheers.
"Drink!"
Coach Lobanovski turned to face the fans, raised his arms and shouted as he could finally celebrate his goal with them.
Then he turned around again.
"Forward!"
"Forward!"
"Forward!"
Lobanovsky, as if commanding his tank corps, was going to continue the offensive on Leverkusen.
On Bayer Leverkusen's side, every player had a helpless expression in their eyes.
Whether it's LaMelo or Gresco or Hap, they don't don't give their best, it's just that they really don't have the speed of the other side. This kind of fastness is relative, and if it were usual, they would certainly not let that happen, but today this is the playground of the players of Dynamo Kyiv......
What to do?
Everyone is aware of this problem, Zheng Zhi also told his teammates just now, but it can't be solved at present.
"Cool!"
"Finally breathe a sigh of relief, today we are going to give them back the score of 5:0! I was so happy to see them look embarrassed. ”
"We can do it."
"Even without Shevchenko, we would have been able to play a brilliant game."
They missed Shevchenko before the start, but now after the goal, they forgot about Shevchenko.
They still have Rebrov, and Berkovic, and their warriors are still there.
The cold wind was whining, cutting Zheng Zhi's cheek like an ice blade.
For the first time, I found myself so passive. Even last year's Bayern Munich didn't feel that way, and this year's Lazio didn't feel that way.
It was the team that was at a disadvantage before, and his individual performance was not bad. But today it was not only the team that was at a disadvantage, but he also had a poor personal performance.
What to do?
How to deal with such a scene?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not panic. He's thinking, he's thinking about countermeasures.
In this kind of weather, it is definitely impossible for everyone to play as usual, there must be a gap, including himself.
The idea just now is not wrong, you have to play the whole thing, you should control the ball well.
"Michael,"
"You have to recycle too,"
"Paul,"
"You also have to take it,"
"We're going to focus our defense in the middle!"
"You can't have any big space in the middle."
"Fra,"
"Robert, both wings are also recovered."
Before Worrall could react, Zheng Zhi made the first move, and he had his own ideas.
"Let's just think it's a playground, guys, let's not think too much about it, let's get some injuries."
In the ice and snow, Zheng Zhi sublimated, this is the role of a 'veteran' at a critical time......
