When Kong Zhendong won the last point, Bayern had a brief silence at home. Subsequently, the Swedish Wolverines fans, who had been suppressed for a whole game, finally broke out into crazy cheers led by Victoria and Madeleine.

Even the hot-tempered German fans, under the glorious reflection of the Victorian sisters, did not cause fan violence.

Kong Zhendong won the last point and shook hands with Roscoff, Sith Pan, Vasri and other players immediately rushed into the field and lifted Kong Zhendong up.

Although the table tennis Champions League is a home-and-away elimination system, the Wolverines were able to win first in the depressing atmosphere, and both Fitzner and Roscoff showed some weaknesses in their playing style in the game.

With an away win, the Wolverines who returned to their home stadium were almost invincible.

After the team's special plane returned to Stockholm Airport, Kong Zhendong's players enjoyed the treatment of hundreds of fans for the first time.

Because it won the knockout round of the Champions League, it can be regarded as winning glory for the country, so there are also Skiers fans among the airport fans.

This year, with the Wolverines qualifying for the Champions League, a total of five teams from the Swedish Table Tennis Super League have qualified for the Champions League.

However, after the group stage, only three teams left in the round of 16, including the Wolverine, and only two won the first game of the knockout round, which shows the cruelty of the competition in the Champions League.

The next day, the Swedish sports media also left the best layout position to the Wolverines and to Kong Zhendong. In the past, Kong Zhendong only had some influence and exposure in the sports media of table tennis sub-media, or the local sports media in Stockholm.

In the first game of the Champions League knockout round, at the Bayern Munich Arena, which is known as the home of terror, Kong Zhendong was able to win both games and lead the Wolverines to victory, and he deserved this glory.

Back in Stockholm, Kong Zhendong didn't bother to pay attention to how he was praised by the media, and gradually changed from familiar among table tennis fans to the well-known metamorphosis of ordinary Swedish families.

Now he trains harder and prepares for the fight. This Champions League victory will allow him to put more of his mind back to the league and to the city derby ten days later.

Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei of the skiers team both received a notice from the coaching staff of the capital team that Mi Xingbang, the coach of the national team, will lead some members of the coaching staff to inspect the venue of the World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.

At the end of the investigation, Stockholm watched the two national table tennis players and played against the Swedish masters, which will be an important stop in the itinerary of the inspection team.

Because he couldn't play the tricks of arranging troops in this round, Kong Zhendong was ready to face Zhang Lei and Waldner successively.

Although in the last meeting, Kong Zhendong avoided Waldner and defeated Zhang Lei in the final tiebreaker to win and score points for the Wolverine.

But even die-hard fans of the Wolverines didn't dare to pat their chests and say that they deserved to win the last encounter.

Although Kong Zhendong defeated Zhang Lei in the last game, Zhang Lei was in the early stage of the collision and integration of the European arc circle and his multi-year arc circle technology system, and now after four months of hard training and experience in the battle with the top masters, Kong Zhendong is not sure that he can beat him.

Another opponent, Waldner, is known as the emperor of the table tennis world.

When Kong Zhendong faced Waldner in his last life, he was already losing more and winning less, and the more he competed, the more he lost.

What's more, Waldner, who fought in the mid-to-late nineties in his previous life, is already an old tile that has gradually slipped from his peak.

In his previous life, although he successfully took revenge at the Sydney Olympics, he defeated Waldner to win the Olympic gold medal.

But this victory can't change the disadvantage of the whole career.

What's more, although he has borrowed many newer techniques and killer features in his playing style in this life, a complete playing style system has not yet been formed. Often with the flexible use of some killer features, they can use the first meeting to defeat those European stars, but the gap in hard power is still there.

So do you have a new tactic to beat Waldner?

Waldner himself is known as the No. 1 tactician in table tennis, who never won the championship with his strength ball, relying on a strange and changeable tactical system from the service stage.

Play tactics with him? Kong Zhendong felt cold when he thought about it.

Since he has not yet thought of a way to deal with Waldner, Kong Zhendong can only work hard to train himself, so that his basic physical qualities such as physical fitness, strength, and speed can be in better condition when he is in the same city derby with the skiers in this long physical period.

On March 20, Mi Xingbang, the head coach of the national table tennis men's team, led Coach Peng, Coach Li and others to arrive in Stockholm by plane.

Mi Xingbang did not see Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei, but led the coaching staff to Gothenburg in the north by bus non-stop to inspect the venues of the World Table Tennis Championships in early May, as well as the venues where life and training were maintained during the event.

On the 23rd, Mi Xingbang and others, who had finished their Gothenburg expedition, took a bus again and returned to Stockholm.

On the return bus, the bored coaches began to read some sports newspapers.

Most sports newspapers in Sweden are still in English. Mi Xingbang has been teaching and living in Europe for many years, and his English is still passable. The other two coaches have a worse foundation, but they can also understand most of the words, and they can understand the meaning of sports reports when they are connected.

They were so excited to read the sports newspaper because the newspaper focused on the upcoming derby between the Wolverines and the Skiers.

Not only does the Wolverines occupy a lot of space, but Kong Zhendong's game photo is also the largest picture in the report.

Although Director Li could probably understand that he was touting Kong Zhendong and the Wolverine team, he couldn't fully understand the content of the article after all, so he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry. Coach Peng said embarrassedly: "Mi Shuai, you are good at English, look at your smile when you read the report, and translate it with us!" ”

Mi Xingbang's interest is indeed very high, and he said with a smile: "This article is to build momentum for tomorrow's match between the two teams in Stockholm." One team is Kong Zhendong's Wolverine, and the other is the Skiers team with Waldner and Zhang Lei. ”

After all, the pattern of Coach Li and Coach Peng is not enough, they have never paid attention to the Swedish league before, although they know that Mi Xingbang sent Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei over, but they have never known that Zhang Lei and Waldner are teammates.

Coach Li was puzzled: "There is Waldner on the side of the game? Plus Zhang Lei? Isn't that a sure win? Can such a one-sided game be good? ”

Coach Peng guessed: "Since the newspaper renders the game according to the parity, there should be a master on Kong Zhendong's side, right?" Pete Karlsson? That's not good, it's not qualified. Could it be Ape Aaron? Or is it Persson? ”

Mi Xingbang smiled mysteriously: "No, this article says that Kong Zhendong is the first main force of the Wolverine team, and the whole report is that he led the Wolverine team to win XXX and the like." ”

Coach Li exclaimed: "Kong Zhendong as the main general against Lao Wa and Zhang Lei? What a mess! ”

Coach Peng was more direct: "Don't Swedish journalists understand football? Will it attract attention? ”

Mi Xingbang smiled and praised the newspaper: "This newspaper is Sweden's number one sports newspaper. Many of the professional reporters in it also contribute to top European media such as the BBC and AFP, and their professionalism is still guaranteed. What's more, they described the game as a fivefold meaning. ”

Director Li and Director Peng began to listen quietly.

Mi Xingbang elaborated: "First of all, the most basic thing is that Europe describes this kind of game in the same city, where two teams have been fighting for many years, as a city derby. Secondly, in the current Swedish League, Waldner's Skiers team is at the top of the table, one point ahead of Persson's Tibetan Mastiff team, and two points ahead of Kong Zhendong's Wolverine team, so the outcome of this game is related to the top three seats in the league. Hence the battle for the top spot. ”

Coach Li was surprised: "Kong Zhendong's team can win the third place in the league by relying on him?" Still two points off Waldner's side? It's a strange thing every year, and this year there are a lot of them."

Mi Xingbang went on to explain: "It's not just the Swedish league, Kong Zhendong and Waldner have just won two games in the Champions League, leading the team to become the only two teams in Sweden to win the knockout stage of the Champions League. Even Persson's Tibetan mastiff team lost. So the third meaning of this game is the strong dialogue between the two teams with the best results in the Champions League. The fourth significance is that Kong Zhendong, as the best newcomer in this year's league, will challenge Sweden's national idol, the first goal king Waldner. The fifth significance is that this is the Chinese derby between Zhang Lei and Kong Zhendong, and at the same time, it also marks the rise of Chinese power in the Swedish league and even the European league. ”

Coach Peng admired: "It's still Mi Shuai's foresight, and when I arranged the itinerary a month ago, I locked this game. I didn't expect it to be so important. ”

Coach Li asked: "Mi Shuai, are you in China, planning thousands of miles away, do you understand the situation here thoroughly?" ”

Mi Xingbang smiled and said modestly: "This is really not. When I sent Kong Zhendong to play abroad, I really took a fancy to his potential and thought that he would definitely be able to play in the future. But in the first year of letting him go, I still hoped that he would focus on learning, and it was completely a free-range posture, but I didn't expect him to make a name for himself in Sweden so quickly, and even abused the old guys in the European table tennis world. Hehe, if he is a hero and a teenager, will he be too proud! ”

Coach Peng said: "I just read the report, I'm afraid it's not just the old guy, right?" He actually won Fitzner and Roskov successively? In doubles, the two are world champions, in singles, Roskoff is also a hurdle for our Chinese athletes in the world, every time in a big competition, someone is always cut down by him, Kong Zhendong can even beat him? I'm curious to see how far this kid has grown now. ”

Mi Xingbang closed the newspaper, leaned on the bus seat and closed his eyes, muttering in his mouth; "Yes, Zhendong, how far have you grown? I'm looking forward to it~"
