Worrall walked to the press conference alone alone, without anyone with him, originally wanted to bring Zheng Zhi, but Zheng Zhi is too famous now, the media will definitely entangle him, he doesn't want to make trouble at the press conference, so he will face the press conference alone.

Sure enough, at the press conference, I was still asked about Barak and Zheng Zhi.

Although it was only three days to ferment, Worrall's ears were almost calloused, and he couldn't understand why English journalists kept relish such news that didn't come true. The British are idle, but the Germans are different, they don't waste their time on this nonsense.

"Today it's just about the game, not about the players' personal issues."

He didn't even have 15 minutes to end the press conference. After returning to the locker room, his face became more solemn, and standing in front of the soldiers, he said in a deep voice:

"We know exactly who our opponent is today."

'We are facing Manchester United, who are champions of this year's Champions League.

'We've played against the UEFA Cup winners and Cup Winners' Cup winners before, and today we got our wish to meet the European champions.

'If we want to get out of the group to the quarter-finals, we have to give our best in every game.

"Even if it is the Champions League winner, we have to grit our teeth and fight to the end!"

"Today is the time to prove your strength."

"Zheng, Michael, aren't Manchester United going to buy you? Then bring out the best of you, defeat them, and make them submit! Let them know that they are not mistaken about you. ”

"Beat the Champions League!"

Champions League champion, the weight of these four words is too heavy, even if everyone just listens to it in their ears, it feels heavy, this may be the biggest challenge.

Bayern Munich didn't do it in May of this year, can they do it today?

None of the Leverkusen squad has experienced this, they are shy newcomers, and now they have the highest mountain in front of them, and they can either cross them, trample them under their feet, or continue to look up to them.

"Bayern can't do it, we can do it!"

"All of Germany is watching us."

……

……

Sky TV's Martin Taylor and Andy Gray were already waiting for the game in the live stands.

The two men began to discuss the game.

"Andy, what do you think of this game?"

"Manchester United must win," Andy Gray said lightly, not thinking about Bayer Leverkusen at all.

"Bayer Leverkusen are too young, even if they have the quality in front of them, but at the Theatre of Dreams, Manchester United will not give them a chance at all."

"The Manchester United players are definitely getting excited in the dressing room right now, especially Keane, who is going to be like a mad lion and going crazy to bite the opposition after breaking out of the cage. And Scholes, they're all going to surprise, and you're going to ask me why? Because of Ferguson. ”

"Maybe you don't understand why Ferguson bought Zheng Zhi and Ballack, this is just to stimulate Manchester United's players, Ferguson is not willing to spend 100,000 pounds to renew his discipleship, but is willing to give new players? I don't think it's possible, the only possibility is to stimulate his disciples. ”

"So, Manchester United today is angry, we will beat Leverkusen like a hungry wolf to the point of defeat, Bayern can't do it, let alone Leverkusen?"

Hey

Martin Taylor gasped, "Your analysis is very reasonable, it seems that the boss should give you a salary increase." ”

"It seems that people with less hair are really smarter than the average person."

Martin Taylor glanced at the Mediterranean Sea in Gray's head and joked again.

Gray's old face twitched and twitched, thinking about whether to go to the street to buy a wig after the explanation was over, and he couldn't stand being so sarcastic by Taylor......

Tiger agrees with Andy Gray's analysis, and when it's not clear why Ferguson did it, Andy Gray gives the answer. Besides that, what else could it be?

'But Bayer Leverkusen are very strong and they should be able to score here.'

"But not to win the game."

'Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

"Manchester United, goalkeeper: Bosnic."

"Defenders: Gary Neville, Silvestre, Stam, Erwin."

'Avant-garde: David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Keane, Ryan Giggs.

"Forwards: Andy Cole, York."

"It's already the strongest squad for Manchester United. But I don't think Barthez should start a little more consistently? Bosnich is a bit unreliable. ”

World Cup-winning goalkeeper Barthez was pressed to the bench by Australian Bosnich, but in fact the two are of similar standard, butter hands, half a pound, but Taylor trusts Barthez a little more.

He didn't have a problem with the other positions.

"Look at Leverkusen."

"Goalkeeper Matisek,"

"Defenders Kovac, Novotny, Lucio, LaMelo,"

"Midfielders Zheng Zhi, Emerson, Ze Roberto, Ballack, Beinrich."

"Striker Neuville."

"Surprise, captain Kirsten didn't play, only a small man Neuville, obviously, similar to the Lazio battle, they just wanted to counterattack, Kirsten didn't have an absolute speed advantage, but Neuville did, Stam and Sylvester had to be careful."

'There's also a change at the back, the more experienced LaMelo comes in for the younger Gresco, who actually played well in the Lazio game, but Lamelo is more consistent, right? Worrall did not dare to take risks. ”

"I think Lucio's position is a bit mysterious, and the Brazilian may not be able to defend against the onslaught of York and Cole. However, in general, the goalkeepers of both teams are relatively weak positions. ”

……

……

At this time, both teams were already ready in the players' tunnel, the referee team was from Italy, and the famous bald name Corina, his presence was too dazzling, and he had already become the focus of the whole stadium as soon as he stood in the crowd.

What an alien! The head sparkles.

Although he is only 40 years old, he looks like he is 80 years old......

"Corina?"

Barak wasn't sure, and asked Zheng Zhi beside him.

"Of course, who else but him?"

"Oh, I hope he can really enforce the law impartially, as the legend says."

"That guy is watching us?" Ballack glanced at Manchester United captain Keane again, who walked past him like a robot, "It's so murderous, maybe you are right, he must want to yin us." ”

"I'm not afraid of him, if he dares to play yin, I'll double him." Barak said grinding his teeth.

'Michael, stay focused, it's not okay to be competitive here, you have to be calm against them, this Manchester United team is very strong.

"Enjoy the competition at the Dream Theater and don't be sorry."

"I will, I can't wait to beat them."

……

After the players of both sides were assembled, Corina led the coaching staff to the front, and the players from both sides led the little caddies out of the court.

Everywhere you look, it's blood-red! Instantly makes people feel a kind of blood boiling. The neatly aligned fans formed the stands and surrounded a small group of Bayer Leverkusen fans, who looked really weak.

But isn't it the same at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome? After that fight, Leverkusen fans no longer think they are weak, and there are Chinese fans here, and their squad is actually quite large, with at least 2,000 people here cheering for Leverkusen today.

"David!"

"David!"

"David!"

"Roy!"

"Roy!"

The hustle and bustle of Old Trafford, immediately shouting wildly about their stars. David Beckham cheered the loudest, but the handsome man did not respond to the enthusiasm of the fans, and it seemed that all the United players today had murderous tears written on their faces. There was no smile, no blood, and all that emanated was killing intent.

"Zheng Zhi!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

"Zheng Zhi!"

Suddenly, the stadium sounded a shout of cheering for Zheng Zhi, and every Chinese fan has a big blue plastic horn in his hand, it seems that they have a lot of experience, the sound in the away stadium can not fight the home fans, so they can only use the horn as an auxiliary tool to increase the decibel of the sound.

Zheng Zhi was not as ruthless as Beckham and the others, and he immediately waved his hand to the fans. A game without fans is lonely and boring. The players play the ball and the fans appreciate the ball and that's perfect.

Manchester United fans saw it in their eyes and were immediately amazed.

"Yo!"

"Zheng also has fans here, it's not easy."

"Who was the last time you heard cheering here? Is it Vialli? ”

"No, it's Zola."

Yes, Italians.

"Is he really that strong?"

"Hopefully he'll show it today."

Collina called Novotney and Keane to the side to guess the coin, and Novotny got the right to choose sides, but he looked around at Old Trafford and was disappointed. It's just casual.

Beep –

Fight!

Kerr kicked the ball to York, and the two blacks and hards immediately went to the heart of Bayer Leverkusen. Lucio even smelled the thick smell of them, and with a squeak, York's stout body met his body, and it felt like he had hit a large rock.

This is the Premier League, it's not the Bundesliga anymore, it's not Serie A. Confrontation is the biggest theme.

Bayer Leverkusen were aggressive in frontcourt from the start of the game, but the ball was distributed to Beckham on the right, who looked up and immediately sent the ball into the Leverkusen penalty area.

Another striker, Cole, actually ran to a place with York, and at the same time competed for the landing spot! Two black and hard! Lucio and Novotny went it alone, and Lucio was squeezed out by York, but the ball fell in front of Cole.

Cole also dominated the card slot, carrying Novotny behind him and pushing his head forward.

Da!

Hit the top!

The ball whistled towards the goal, but it didn't hold it down and it flew into the stands. The first shot created enough of a threat.

Ferguson stomped on the sidelines, and Worrall subconsciously covered his face with his hands.

"Whew~"

"What a pity!"

Manchester United fans sighed, thinking that Cole would score.

When it was Leverkusen's turn to attack, Zheng Zhi got the ball in the middle, made a simple connection with Ballack, and then handed the ball to Ze Roberto on the left.

LaMelo came up, and Ze Roberto wanted to play a match with LaMelo to get past Beckham, but Keane suddenly killed him, forcing Ze Roberto to kick the ball out in a hurry, and the ball went out of the sideline with a mistake.

The ball is lost.

Neville assists up the front court and throws the ball to Beckham, who doesn't even think about it and makes a big foot shift!

The ball curved beautifully across the pitch and landed at the feet of Giggs, who was so accurate that Giggs almost stood there and stopped the ball.

That's David Beckham's passing footwork, and it's going to make you doubt your life.

In the face of Kovacs, Giggs accelerated and changed direction, and then played the violin, and easily killed near the baseline!

Kovacs knelt down.

At this time, Giggs is the dribbling king of the Premier League, as long as he wants to pass people, then he will definitely be able to pass, the speed of the wind makes Kovac unable to chase back at all, Giggs did not drag the slightest mud and water, and immediately sent the ball into the Leverkusen penalty area.

Half highball!

The ball was passed very badly, Novotny was very focused, but he could only barely block with his left thigh, and it was very difficult to block the ball in the direction of his own goal.

It was so abrupt that Maticsek's subconscious one-handed slap almost slammed the ball into the goal.

Lucio, who was quick-eyed, immediately twisted his body sharply and pulled the ball out with a big kick!

The ball fell directly into the back of Manchester United, the force was too great, and it was finally held in Bosnic's arms.

Manchester United's attack came again, and the ball quickly fell to the feet of Scholes through the midfield, and after Scholes unloaded the ball lightly, although Zheng Zhi stood in front of him, he still confidently sent a through plug with his right foot!

Zheng Zhi hurriedly ran back.

Just hit Lucio behind! Looks like it's going to bully Lucio's inexperience.

But Lucio was not as good as Scholes thought, and judged Scholes's intentions in advance, broke the ball first, and handed it to Zheng Zhi safely.

Scholes also ran up with Zheng Zhi after passing the ball, and his defensive awareness was very strong, that is, he was worried that if the pass failed, Leverkusen would switch from defense to attack, and Zheng Zhi was the most critical figure.

Zheng Zhi didn't intend to play with Scholes, he picked up the ball directly, and the ball flew towards Ze Roberto like an eye, which made Scholes look a little stunned.

The ball is well passed! I really like Zheng Zhi a little. Although he is an opponent and a potential competitor, Scholes is very appreciative of Zheng Zhi's footwork.

This time Ze Roberto also tried to send in a through ball, but it was a bit out of tune with Neuville's idea, and as soon as Neuville was running, Collina blew the whistle.

Offside.

Manchester United immediately send a free kick!

After Keane gets the ball, he sends a long ball straight away! This is not Zheng Zhi's patent, Keane also likes to play like this.

Ryan Giggs flew up on the left and offloaded the ball and slammed it down!

Kovac was tragic again, and after Giggs, who was fast inside, he looked up at his team-mate's running position, and suddenly hit the goal with his left foot from a tight angle!

With a whew, the ball headed for the top left corner of the goal, and Matisek leaped to the top of the bar with a single fist.

Corner kick.

"Hehe, Manchester United really played strong today."

'You can tell in the minutes that they are going to win the game and everyone shows enough determination.

"Bayer Leverkusen's players are exhausted,"

"They probably don't know how fierce the Premier League is, they're just flowers in a greenhouse."

However, United's first corner failed to threaten. Ballack cleared the ball down the middle.

Kean and Zheng Zhi formed a confrontation for the first time!

With a bang, Keane gritted his teeth and knocked Zheng Zhi away.

Beep

The whistle blew and Keane was running back to near the halfway line. He didn't care about his fouls at all.

Corina didn't pick up the cards, maybe he thinks that the confrontation in the Premier League is already fierce, and the law enforcement here should be more followed here?

Paralyzed!

Zheng Zhi rolled on the turf three times, but still endured the pain and got up, the preparation was still a little insufficient, knowing that Kean would make him bad, but he didn't expect the strength to be so great.

"Hey,"

"But that's it."

"Or Roy is more fierce,"

"Roy is invincible!"

In the stands, Manchester United fans immediately compared the results, and Keane was the better one.

"Ferguson saw it,"

"The Chinese he wanted to use to replace Keane lost in the confrontation, he should change his mind, right? Or is his captain stronger? ”

Gray sighed, "Maybe the Chinese only have a show, and they can't get a foothold in the Premier League at all." ”

"This game will show him his true colors, the Premier League is the Premier League, the Bundesliga is the Bundesliga, these are two completely different leagues."

……

……

Zheng Zhi silently kicked the ball to Emerson, and Ballack detoured to the right to play with Beinrich before trying to pass the ball to Neuville, but Neuville was offside again.

As soon as it started, the whistle went off again.

The combination of Sylvester and Stam looks pretty good, at least the offside level is quite high.

It also shows that Manchester United are quite well prepared, and they are not fighting unprepared battles.

United launched another quick attack from the left, but Ballack and Beinrich were also quick to return and the Welshman tried to dribble past the two, but he underestimated Ballack's long legs, and as soon as his right leg reached out, the ball was stabbed away at his feet.

But Beinrich didn't get it, but was cut off by Erwin behind him! The ball is still Manchester United's.

When did Erwin come up?! Beinrich was shocked.

Manchester United's transition between attack and defense is too fast, and the appearance of defenders is also unguardable.

Bayer Leverkusen's players work hard, but Manchester United's players work harder! Erwin is also proficient in long passes, and immediately passed the ball to the other end, Beckham's position looked empty, but after the ball flew into the air, Zheng Zhi came from the middle.

didn't give Beckham a chance to win the ball, he flew up and gave the ball to Emerson!

Beckham didn't catch any of the hair, just because he had a little negligence.

However, Keane also came up, picked at Emerson's calf, and fouled again. This time Corina came running over and gave Keane a verbal warning.

Don't think I can't see it, you have to keep it. Corina has a sharp eye, but she's just always in control of the scale.

The first foul can spare you, the second foul must be warned, and if there is a third? Maybe it's a yellow card.

There is no need to doubt the level of law enforcement in Corina. Emerson glanced at Keane with a wry look, and still got up silently without any protest.

This made Keane a little unaccustomed.

Doesn't such a guy have a temper? Strange, no one fought a little?

Zheng Zhi was beside Emerson and suddenly pumped a kick, and the ball flew directly behind Erwin.

Pounce!

Beinrich quickly intervened.

However, it was still half a beat slower, and Stam strode over and pushed the ball out first!

It turned out that Manchester United was also guarding against it, and Zheng Zhi's sneak attack was unsuccessful.

Keane got the ball again, and it was given to Giggs on the left, didn't Beinrich come up? Manchester United also hit behind!

Giggs still chooses to be strong! Because Beinrich was behind him, there was only one Kovacs in front of him.

It was still easy to get past Kovacs.

However, Kovacs let go of the tackle this time.

As soon as he spat out, the scissor kick shoveled head-on at Giggs.

Fack!

Giggs was startled and quickly jumped up.

I'm scared.

But his left foot was still reached by Kovacs and he fell to the ground in an instant.

Kovacs fouled.

It was just a frontal tackle with his feet on the turf, so Corina didn't take out the cards either.

"Wonderful,"

"Both sides played at a very high technical and tactical level,"

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a good game!"

Taylor shouted.

When Giggs got up, he limped, but soon he was walking normally and didn't seem to have any major problems.

Beckham ran over, waiting for his teammates to run to Leverkusen's big penalty area, even Stam came up, this block, only Ballack can carry it, Zheng Zhi instead stood on the line of the big penalty area, and Keane was close to each other.

Although the ball has not yet flown over, these two people are already secretly working hard, and the movements of their hands are not less, Keane grabbed Zheng Zhi's waist, and Zheng Zhi backhanded his abdomen.

Beckham eventually sent the ball into the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area, York and Cole hit the middle, but the ball fell to the back post, and Ballack and Stam fought for the spot at the same time!

The young Ballack jumped higher like an eagle spreading its wings, and the aged Stam couldn't withstand it, and Ballack finally pushed the ball out.

Zheng Zhi and Keane in the middle lane moved at the same time. The cunning Keane pushed Zheng Zhi when he started, but he didn't expect to fail to push Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi's feet had been firmly rooted in the turf earlier, and he was on guard, and finally Zheng Zhi rushed to the ball with a quick step!

However, although it was half a beat slower, as soon as Zheng Zhi won the ball, Keane still appeared behind him in time, Zheng Zhi didn't even turn around, but he saw Emerson rushing out of the penalty area, so he gently passed the ball horizontally, and then reversed his body to try to get rid of Keane.

Keane is not stupid, it is impossible to give up the marking of Zheng Zhi, Emerson naturally has teammates on his side to deal with it, and his target is still Zheng Zhi.

Sure enough, after Emerson controlled the ball, Scholes came over, and Emerson still had to pass the ball back to Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi, who turned around, was one position ahead of Kean, how could the experienced Kean let Zheng Zhi rush over?

directly reached out and grabbed Zheng Zhi's jersey, squeaked, as if it was still torn something?

Zheng Zhi stumbled, his center of gravity was still affected, and his body pressed down, as if he was about to fall. At the same time, Keane's goal was achieved, and he just let go of his left hand, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhi's right hand to suddenly prop up on the turf, and his left knee slammed into force, and he stood up again?!

With a snort, he rushed up.

Yes!

Keane's eyes widened instantly, he couldn't believe that Zheng Zhi was so stubborn, and he insisted on chasing the ball.

His speed slowed down, and he couldn't chase Zheng Zhi anymore, so he could only watch Zheng Zhi and David Beckham go to grab the ball.

The two men touched the ball almost at the same time, but Zheng Zhi took a step faster and stepped on the ball with his right foot.

Marseille maneuver!

Beckham felt his eyes flicker, and Zheng Zhi's body turned to the left side!

Confused!

"Woohoo~"

"It's so beautiful!"

"Marseille maneuver, Zidane's patent,"

"But Zheng Zhi's feet are also very gorgeous."

When Taylor shouted, Zheng Zhi had already rushed forward with the ball more than three meters away.

Da~

A through ball.

It was the first time he had sent a through ball in this game, and it was Neuville!

"A scalpel's through ball!"

'He taught the United players a lesson at Old Trafford!'

This time, there was no offside!

Zheng Zhi watched very carefully, waiting for Neuville to return from an offside position, and then when Stam could no longer have time to create an offside trap. Instead, Stam was caught off guard, and Silvester on the other side was unable to come over to help, so Neuville easily formed a single knife.

The Australian in front of goal hesitated for a second before rushing out, but it was too late for Neuville to push a shot into the bottom left corner.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

"Neuville!"

"Assists from the Chinese!"

"He conquered the Theater of Dreams with his gorgeous ball skills!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, in the crazy back-and-forth attack, Bayer Leverkusen scored first."

"Ferguson must have been ambivalent,"

"The player he likes is in the opposing team, he really didn't look at the wrong person, the Chinese deserve his appreciation, deserve Manchester United's own, but now, he is in the opposing team, he is the enemy, he is the most threatening person."

"Andy? He's not a vase, if you look at his masterpiece just now, it's flawless, it's perfect. ”

Andy Gray shrugged, "Vases can actually be brilliant sometimes, I don't deny that." ”

"But that doesn't mean he's really that good."

"When he is known to everyone, he may not be able to bloom."

Andy Gray's mouth was still hard.

"No, no, no, Keane could have kept him, David Beckham could have kept him, but they both missed it."

"He didn't fight a battle that he wasn't prepared for, and we can see it all in slow motion."

……

……
