426. Goals, Records and Spells

1. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Sports Show, where Klaus Miller and Lucas Becker meet regularly every weekend in the live broadcast room of Sports One......"

With more than 30 million subscribers to SPORT1, Germany's most-watched sports channel, football is one of the most popular sports in Germany, but as a TV station, their business is not limited to football, and as the times have evolved, they have continued to expand into various fields – a few years later, in 2016, they also broadcast live the League of Legends World Semi-Finals and Finals.

On this weekend evening, the two presenters sat diagonally as usual, but the guest seats across from them were empty.

Here's a routine used by TV shows all over the world:

first blow a wave of glory and achievements that the guests have achieved decades ago, do a little foreshadowing, and then welcome this heavyweight guest in the change of lights and the cheers of the audience......

Klaus-Miller spoke first:

"Just two hours ago, the eighth round of the Bundesliga was over, and leaders Bayern Munich staged another massacre, and promoted Madwesseldorf were beaten 12-0 at their home stadium, and there was no way to fight back from start to finish."

Lucas Becker said:

"That's right, the home team never had the ball from the first second of the game, and the player with the most touches on their pitch was their poor goalkeeper Giffel, well, if you take the ball out of the net as touches......"

Miller flipped through the information in his hand:

"By the end of the eighth round, Bayern Munich had won all eight games in a row, and they had managed to break their own record for the best league start in the 95-96 season (which was equalled by Kaiser at 01-02 and Mainz at 10-11), and could continue to improve."

Becker shrugged:

"But unfortunately, the eight consecutive wins are only the bottom of the opening record of the five major leagues, tied with Ligue 1. Can you imagine? The team that holds the record for the best start is not from one dominant Germany, but from England, which is known as the most competitive and exciting team in the universe! ”

Miller smiled and shook his head:

"Come on, Lucas, Tottenham Hotspur's first thirteen consecutive wins came in 1960-61 more than 50 years ago, and it has nothing to do with the Premier League today, right?"

Becker laughed, of course he didn't mean to find a thorn, according to the design of the show and personal style, the two of them were originally a funny character,

"Well, back to the Bundesliga," Miller said lightly, "in the game where Bayern defeated Fortuna Dusseldorf, there was a player who once again attracted the attention of the world with his amazing performance, he has completely become a kind of phenomenal superstar, even Spain's Messi and Ronaldo are overshadowed by his crazy performances!" ”

"If it had been on the previous show, I would have pretended to be confused and asked you, 'Who is that,' but if I did it again today, the audience would have called me an idiot," Becker said, as he and his partner got up from their seats, "Okay, let's welcome today's special guest, Bayern's No. 8, Europe's best player, and the World Ballon d'Or who has played a five-goal trick in two consecutive league games...... Dragons, Shute! ”

Under the chaotic light, Long Shute, dressed in a tight suit, walked out from behind the scenes. He was wearing a customized version of Armani that had just been sent from Italy to Germany, and a faint "L" like a flying dragon ascending was tattooed on his chest and sleeves.

They were surrounded by hundreds of spectators, many of whom were still wearing Bayern shirts in mid-October, and Ronshit went out of his way to high-five the clapping fans in thanks, which only made the cheers louder.

"Thanks for the invitation, Lucas and Klaus, should I say that this is the first time I've come to such a high-end studio?" Long Shute smiled and shook hands with the two hosts, and then sat down in his place with ease.

This is not the first time he has participated in TV media programs, as he has been recorded on a number of talk shows just after his transfer to Bayern, and coupled with his natural personality, it is almost impossible to see any nervousness and crampedness from him.

Miller laughs and takes the conversation from greetings to the point:

"First of all, we would like to congratulate you on scoring five goals again in the league that has just ended, leading Bayern Munich to another big victory."

"Thank you." Long Shute nodded slightly.

Becker said: "I'm suddenly a little sorry for Frank Ribery, who scored a goal and provided three assists in this game, but he was completely overshadowed by your light. ”

Long Shute tilted his head slightly, and smiled helplessly:

"So he beat me up."

"Okay, let's talk about your feelings, shall we? Or your secret? ”

Miller finally gets to the point:

"In the seventh round, people can also explain that you come off the bench and use a lot of energy to attack the opponent's defence that is close to collapse. But in this afternoon's game, it was clear that it was completely different...... How did Fortuna Dusseldorf always use more than two defenders against you, but the result was no different from Hoffenheim before you? ”

"Oh no, I have to correct what you just said, the difference between the two games is very obvious," Long Shute shook his head with a serious face, "At the efficiency of scoring five goals in 138 seconds, or taking a step back, with the efficiency of five goals in 8 minutes, I should have scored at least 50 goals in 90 minutes of play, but unfortunately, I did not complete this task, which is enough to show that my form today is much worse than in a league game......"

Becker opened his mouth, but could only let out a "hehe" laugh - his complaining lines were snatched away by the guests!

Miller had no choice but to laugh and continue his question:

"It's been eight rounds in the league so far, and you've only played in three of them due to injuries, and one of them was a substitute, but in the scorer charts, you're already well ahead of the rest of your opponents with 15 goals, so you should be on the verge of winning this season's Golden Boot, right?"

Longshut never gets humble at this time:

"Of course, but my goal is not just to be a small cannon in the Bundesliga, I want to set a new record for the European Golden Boot and this time I don't want to be tied with anyone else for the award."

"We're looking forward to it." Becker muttered, then brought up something else, "Speaking of records, we just mentioned that Bayern set the record for the best start in the Bundesliga, eight wins in a row, the previous record was seven wins in a row by Bayern, Borussia MΓΆnchen and Mainz, but when we look through the history, we find a very interesting thing, you know?" ”

"Oh? What is that? Long Shute raised his eyebrows, even the information stored in the intelligent system did not tell him about this.

"The three teams that started the seven-game winning streak failed to win the final league title at the end of the season," a mischievous smile appeared on Becker's face, "and the league title for all three seasons ...... It's all Dortmund, is this called a spell? ”

"Enchantment?"

Long Shute spread his hands:

"If I remember correctly, after this round, Bayern had 24 points and Dortmund had 12 points, a full half difference, and I don't think they have any chance of catching up. Lucas, do you want to make a bet with me? Bet on Borussia Dortmund to complete a super comeback at the end of the season? If anyone loses, the end-of-season special runs naked on camera, or...... Women's clothing, what do you think? ”

"Bet?"

Becker hurriedly covered his face, but his mouth was still tough:

"The league has just started, anything can happen, isn't it?"

"Yes," Long Shu nodded, "so you bet with me!" ”

"Bet on it!"

Becker glared at him, then raised his hand high and shouted out to the sidelines:

"Director, pinch this section when the time comes!"
