Chapter 0102 I saw the scenery farther away
Zhuo Cunzhi rarely paid attention to the news, especially the news about the Champions League.
In this Champions League, two teams from the Bundesliga have reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
One of them is the last champion Bayern Munich.
As the defending champions, Bayern Munich can enter the quarterfinals as a matter of course, but it is not a normal thing for Bayer Leverkusen to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Especially in the second round of the group stage of the Champions League, Bayer Leverkusen was placed in the group of death, which is almost the strongest in history.
Arsenal are in their prime, and in our world, they will win 26 of their 38 league games next season and draw 12 of them, winning the title unbeaten all season.
Juventus, who are in the midst of a revival, reached the final of the Champions League next season, only to lose to Milan in a penalty shootout.
It was these two teams that were eliminated in this group.
One of the teams that qualified was La Coruna.
In our time, Deportivo La Coruna has declined, but this morale of Deportivo is no worse than any of the giants in Europe!
Especially in this season, the current president of Real Madrid, Florentino, for the centennial celebration of Real Madrid, insisted on Spain. The defeat brought forward the final of the La Liga del Rey to March.
Florentino attaches great importance to the Copa del Rey and calls it the jewel of the centenary celebrations.
Then, on the stage built by Real Madrid, the giant of the century, Super Laco made a big fuss.
Belleron, Dejaminha, Mackay, Tristan, Mauro Silva......
Florentino, who regards running Real Madrid as a business, can't understand why these notorious stars can suppress the Real Madrid superstars who are fighting at home.
How much preparation he has made, how much momentum he has created, how many people he has offended for this centennial celebration, and now he has failed, and all his opponents are laughing at him and cheering for Super Laco.
It was also this game that completely detonated Florentino's dissatisfaction, and the current Real Madrid coach Bosque became the target of the Real Madrid president.
Super Laco is strong for the time being, and now I want to talk about Leverkusen, who is in first place in this death group!
Although Bayer Leverkusen has not performed much in the Champions League before, in fact, Bayer Leverkusen is very strong.
German shooting machine Kirsten, German young superstar Ballack, German international Schneider, Turkish midfield core Basturk, Brazilian main Lucio, Brazilian international Ze Roberto......
Such a squad is already strong enough that it is in no way worse than the other three teams.
In the past few seasons, Bayer Leverkusen have come close to winning the Bundesliga four times!
In the 96-97 season, Bayer Leverkusen lost to Bayern by two points and ranked second in the Bundesliga.
In the 97-98 season, Bayer Leverkusen trailed Kaiserslautern by 13 points and finished third.
In the 98-99 season, Bayer Leverkusen once again ranked second in the league, and Bayern won the championship again.
In the 99-00 season, it was second again, and Bayern was again, and this time it only lost the championship by seven goal difference.
In the 00-01 season, which was just the past season, Bayer Leverkusen finished fourth, but only six points behind champions Bayern.
It's fair to say that this is a pretty strong team, and the current Roma superstar Emerson is from Bayer Leverkusen.
But this team lacks a strong enough mentality, and every time they get close to the championship, they always drop the chain.
A team whose players' psychological quality is not strong will not be able to become a strong team in any case.
But this time it was different, and after coming out of this group of deaths, Leverkusen seemed to have changed.
Zhuo Cunzhi found all the video footage of Leverkusen's game, and then fixed his eyes on one person.
13, in Europe it is a symbol of bad luck.
In football, a place that relies quite heavily on luck, very few players will wear a jersey with this number.
And the players who dare to wear this number are tenacious heroes who have no discomfort and tenacity in their hearts.
Bayer Leverkusen's No. 13 Ballack is undoubtedly such a figure.
Lately, the Germans seem to have caught up with a bit of British exaggeration, and have begun to tout their young geniuses.
Among them, the most touted are the leaders of the young geniuses of Barak and Deisler.
Previously, Zhuo Cunzhi had been hearing the names of the two people all the time, and he was a little tired.
But after watching the footage of Ballack's game, Zhuo realized that the German hadn't changed.
Whether it is to tout Deisler or to tout Barak, it is not an exaggeration.
Excellent physical fitness, sweeping across the court, strong forward attack, technical balance of left and right feet, overhead kicks, point grabbing, organization and scheduling, vision awareness......
Except for the dribbling handicap, he can do almost anything!
If it is combined with Deisler, who has excellent technology and strong ability to break through dribbling, Germany's two young superstars may not really be able to lead Germany back to the top.
Thanks to Ballack's brilliant performance, Bayer Leverkusen emerged from the group of death!
And that's not all, Bayer Leverkusen are currently top of the Bundesliga standings and have reached the last four of the German Cup.
In other words, Bayer Leverkusen have the possibility of winning the treble this season!
Originally, the Champions League only reached the quarterfinals, and it was ridiculous to talk about the treble.
However, some reporters gave the example of Manchester United winning the treble in '99.
Manchester United in '99 was also placed in the group of death.
They were in a group with Bayern, the most powerful at the time, and Barcelona, who were in their prime.
In the end, Manchester United emerged from the group of death and reversed Bayern Munich in the final to win the treble.
After watching the footage and news commentary, Zhuo Cunzhi fell into a long silence.
After losing to Bielefeld in a crucial battle and giving up the initiative to be promoted to the Bundesliga, Zhuo Cunzhi was very depressed.
It is precisely because of the need to relieve this irritability that Zhuo Cunzhi found a news time.
Who knew that what was said on the news was such a heart-stirring topic.
Seriously, it's not the first time he's watched the Champions League, but he still really feels the Champions League so close to him.
He also played in Germany, he was also known as a young talent, and now he is compared to Ballack......
For the time being, there is no comparison at all.
Thinking like this, Zhuo Cunzhi smiled.
After watching these videos, Zhuo Cunzhi felt that he saw a wider world.
If a person had this more ambitious goal, he would not have taken the small mud puddle in front of him into his eyes.
Barak, Deisler......
Both of them are young talents in the Bundesliga, and even now they are world superstars.
Only in the Bundesliga can you play against them and experience the gap between you and them.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Cunzhi only felt his blood boiling.
The next opponent is Duisburg!
