Chapter 0336 - Forever Rookie

I can hear my own wheezing clearly.

Even if the voices on the field were so loud and the voices of the fans were so loud, Ricken could clearly hear his own gasps.

It was a heavy, awkward voice, just like Dortmund now.

Feeling his own powerlessness and observing the team's powerlessness, Ricken fell into a deep self-blame.

It is the feeling of self-blame, not the feeling of taking on that responsibility.

Once upon a time, as a youth player, Ricken had an impressive performance in the Champions League.

Especially in the 96-97 season, in the Champions League semifinals, a shot before being fouled and weightless directly hit the dead corner of Manchester United, which made Schmeichel out of reach and locked the win; In the final, at the moment when Juventus was determined to fight back, only 16 seconds after coming on the bench, the first touch of the ball, with a hanging shot directly broke the door of Juventus, rewriting the score to 3:1!

You must know that Juventus, which was under Lippi at that time, is not an exaggeration to describe it as "cosmic".

As for Dott at that time?

The 96-97 season was the first time that Dortmund reached the Champions League final!

At that time, the press and public opinion generally believed that "Heathfield was just going to deliver food to Lippi!" ”

And in the end, relying on Heathfield's instant decision, with Riddle's crazy brace, and with Ricken's shocking shot, Dortmund took a crucial step to become a European giant!

At that time, Ricken could be said to be a brilliant beauty, and he was considered a replacement for players such as Hasler, Muller and even Summer, and he would be a superstar of the future!

However, the growth of geniuses will not always be smooth sailing.

In the 97-98 season, the following season after winning the Champions League, Ricken suffered a serious injury and missed most of the league round.

After recovering from his injury, Rickon is still the technical midfield genius, but the holes in his heart have been slowly dug out-

He began to be afraid of physical confrontation!

The pitch is like a battlefield, and when a player loses his bravery, he is doomed to lose a lot of opportunities.

So after all these years, Rickon's performance is still like that, and in any season in recent years, he has not performed better than his rookie season.

You know, when Ricken was called a genius in the past, Ballack and Deisler couldn't play in the Bundesliga!

And this year, Ricken is 27 years old and in the prime of a player.

However, Zhuo Cunzhi glanced at his ability value and shook his head secretly in his heart.

89 points.

In the Bundesliga, that's not a bad number.

Moreover, such as dribbling and ball control, he has star-level strength.

But the problem is that he is below average in terms of willpower-related abilities.

What's more, he is a genius that Dortmund has high hopes for!

Not to mention 89 points, even the level of the stars can't satisfy the fans!

As for Ricken himself, he continued to cringe and kick the ball while being ashamed.

One day, when he tried to change, he found that his cowardice had become a habit.

What's more, the nature of the country is easy to change, who can easily change their shortcomings?

I know that weight loss is important, but after persevering for a while, how many people finally give up?

At least Ricken is not such a strong person.

On the court, in the face of Bernd's falling tackle, Ricken was horrified, and in a hurry, he chose to jump!

Of course he jumped, the ball still on the turf, and Bernd easily grabbed it.

Glancing at him with slight disdain, Bernd passed the ball to Zhuo Cunzhi.

As soon as Zhuo Cunzhi received the ball, he immediately faced Dede's close defense and Kyle's pinch.

Both of them are star-level defensive midfielders, and even Zhuo Cunzhi has to play 12 points of attention.

Zhuo Cunzhi leaned on Dede with his back, used an angle where Kyle could not see the ball, and when his foot touched the ball, he kicked directly to the baseline position on the right side.

Kyle thought that Zhuo Cunzhi would break through with the ball, but who would have thought that Zhuo Cunzhi would directly choose to pass.

His eyes kept staring at Zhuo Cunzhi, and he didn't even see which direction Zhuo Cunzhi passed the ball to.

For a moment, Kyle could only walk in place, scanning left and right to search.

Strike!

Ribery ran with all his might towards the baseline.

You know, in the midfield position, in that angle, it's hard to use your strength.

And Zhuo Cunzhi not only used his strength, but also transmitted so accurately.

Glancing at defender Jensen, who was also chasing the ball with all his might, Mendieta smiled gracefully.

In the Aachen team, Zhuo Cunzhi, Arne and Ribery are all faster than him, but in reality, his speed is definitely not slow!

What's more, he has a lot more experience.

Mendieta's running position faintly intercepted the direction of Jensen's running behind him, who was afraid that he would crash into Mendieta if he used his strength!

You know, Mendieta has now broken into the Dortmund threat zone, and fouling in this place is very costly!

What's more, there is also a No. 1 free kick master in the Bundesliga in the Aachen team!

It stands to reason that although Mendieta's physical strength is not very strong, he should not fall down as soon as he hits.

But the question is, what if he fakes a fall?

Jensen, who hesitated, was easily thrown out of three positions by Mendieta.

After the latter grabbed the ball, he still had plenty of time to look at the middle, and after confirming the position and movement of his teammates again, he rolled out a cross.

Joao looked at the door of Dortmund with great interest, and he didn't know which tendon in his mind was wrong, and he chose to shoot with a volley!

The next moment, everyone kept looking up at the sky, trying to find the figure of the ball.

"......" Mendieta looked at João speechlessly.

Volleys have high requirements for timing, foot feel, and strength.

The top scorers in European football don't dare to shoot with volleys easily.

What Mendieta didn't know was that if it was Joao last season, even if it wasn't a volley, he might have kicked off!

In the Aachen team, there is only one person who can use volleys as a conventional means!

Speaking of which, it's really strange that a striker is not good at volleying, but a midfielder is good at volleying.

Looking at João's smirk, Ribery's anger quickly subsided.

After all, they basically won this game!

"I thought that this Aachen vs. Dortmund would be a battle between dragons and tigers, but who would have thought that the situation would be one-sided!" Di Wei was amazed and proud.

"Zhuo Cunzhi was not directly involved in the goal in this game, but his role was obvious to all, and six of the seven shots Aachen had in the woodwork were created by him!" Duan Huo habitually uses data to illustrate the problem.

"At Dortmund, on the other hand, Rickon's performance was disastrous." Tu Wei sighed.

"Rosicky and Frings are both injured and Dortmund can only rely on Ricken as the core." Duan Huo seemed to be in a state of schadenfreude, and seemed to be sighing, "Dortmund lost unjustly." ”

On the other side, Summerer was in the coach's seat and sighed deeply, "It's so unjust to lose......"
