Odense, the third largest city in Denmark.

With a population of 220,000, it's a small place for Germany, but it's definitely a big city in Denmark.

Founded in 1887, Odense FC has a long history, and the team's results in the Danish Premier League are still good, but they are still far from Copenhagen.

The Odyssey, the team's home stadium, is a small stadium with a capacity of only 15,000 people, which is about the size of Cologne II's stadium.

At that time, this is likely to be a factor affecting the Cologne players, and those who are used to playing in the big stadium will not be used to the small stadium.

Odense manager Bruce Leok is a tough Scotsman, a bit like Alex Ferguson.

Bruce is also one of those people who looks average, but has a fiery temper.

Ahead of the first round of the League Cup, Bruce was interviewed by Odense's largest local newspaper, the Filipino Parish Times.

Journalist Yolase began by speaking about the temper of the Scotsman.

"I've seen the movie Braveheart, are you Scots all so grumpy?"

"Haha." Bruce laughed: "I think the most famous Scot in football is Sir Alex Ferguson. ”

"Maybe we have a spirit of not admitting defeat in our genes."

"So you came to Denmark?"

"I love a challenge."

'Now you have an opportunity to lead the team to the main draw of the UEFA Cup.'

'We did a good job in the league last season but it wasn't enough, I think the UEFA Cup is what the fans are looking forward to the most, it's the Europa League, I think very few people outside of Denmark know about Odense and this is our chance to prove ourselves to the whole of Europe.'

Yolase laughed: "Our opponent is Cologne, from Germany. ”

"Britain and Germany." Yolase smiled knowingly, meaningfully.

"Haha, I don't have a problem with Germany, I don't like Germany, and I don't hate it."

"Cologne were Bundesliga side teams last season and they qualified for the UEFA Cup by winning the German Cup."

Bruce said: "I don't pay much attention to the Bundesliga. ”

"I've watched a few games in Cologne and Podolski is a very good player and I'll put people to defend him."

"According to the information I obtained, the strongest shooter in Cologne is a man named Tang Zhenglong."

Bruce's eyes widened, "Who?" ”

"Tang Zhenglong, a Chinese."

Burst.

Bruce laughed rudely.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, that's what I found."

Bruce looked at it, threw it aside, and said disdainfully: "Asian and African players will be particularly good for a while, but their ability to sustain is average. ”

"Bruce, your words may be inappropriate." Yolase reminded.

Bruce sneered, "I know what you mean? What's wrong with the world of football now? Is the racist hat so terrible? ”

"Others are afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm responsible for what I say, the level of European football is high, there's nothing wrong with that."

Yorase Khan, this passage must either be deleted, or it must be specifically noted that it is Bruce's personal opinion and has nothing to do with this newspaper, otherwise it will be 100% troublesome.

Sure enough, Bruce's open-mouthed words caused a stir, and Cologne coach Stevens, who has already arrived in Odense, tactfully hinted at the lack of respect on the part of his opponent in an interview.

"We are a team in the Bundesliga, but if the opponent underestimates us because of this, then I can only say, wait and see."

Most Odense people support Bruce, but there are media outlets that are exceptional, including one big one, TV2, one of the Danish national television channels, which is headquartered in Odense.

Presenter Shadier is about to talk about the UEFA Cup match and wants to interview the players and coaching staff in Cologne before the game.

Cologne's usual training ground is a standard football field next to the Odyssey Stadium, in fact, a small football training center is formed next to the Odyssey Stadium, which not only has a standard field, but also several small artificial turf.

The training arranged by Stevens was mainly regular training, and tactical training was conducted in secret at other venues.

In between trainings, Shadier submitted a request for an interview, and Cologne was generous, and the press officer reported it to Stevens.

Stevens threw Tang Zhenglong to Shadill.

"Why me?" Tang Zhenglong wondered.

"You should ask, why not you."

"Is this discrimination?"

"No, it's important."

Stevens felt that since Tang Zhenglong was always playing "Anonymous" behind his back, it was better to let him speak generously.

Shadier had done her homework before she came, and she knew Tang Zhenglong, the team's top scorer, who could always score some strange goals.

"Don, welcome to Denmark, this is your first time in Denmark?"

Tang Zhenglong nodded.

"What was your first impression of Denmark?"

"The women here are beautiful."

“……”

When Shadil Ray arrived, didn't he say that Asians are more reserved?

"Thank you."

As the conversation turned, Shadier talked about Bruce and his controversial remarks.

Tang Zhenglong was already unhappy, but he didn't go back immediately, but took a detour.

"Do you have a princess disease?"

Shadil was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Nothing, can you answer me."

"No, I don't." Shadil muttered, she didn't know what Tang Zhenglong meant.

Tang Zhenglong spread his hands, "Many girls think that people with princess illness are princesses, but in fact, they are wrong, and it is very likely that they are really sick." ”

Burst!

"In the same way, if someone thinks they're Scotsman and has a big mouth, they're Alex Ferguson."

"Wrong! Most likely you're not Ferguson, it's Bruce. ”

"Hahaha."

"I'm sorry."

Shadier covered her mouth.

Tang Zhenglong: This is also too humorous.

"I think the strongest Scots are in the Premier League, such as Lord Alex Ferguson, second-rate Scots are in the Soviet Premier League, and the Danish Premier League is ......"

Tang Zhenglong shrugged.

"It may be a more caring person who comes to football to alleviate poverty."

Chardier laughed again.

'Of course I don't mean to look down on Odense, I think the teams that can play in the UEFA Cup are very strong.

"Don, as an Asian player, isn't it easy to play in Europe?"

"Of course, but I'm the best player in Asia and I've made it."

The best player in Asia?

Chardir didn't believe it and thought, "Odense is a small place, don't lie to me." ”

"Don, can you predict the course of the game."

'I think the away goal is the most important thing, maybe 2-2.

"Will you score?"

"If the Danish women fans cheered for me and went crazy for me, I would have scored."
