A day later, another UEFA Cup semi-final was over, with Sevilla beating Espanyol to reach the final.

On May 16th, at Hampton Park, Cologne and Sevilla will play the final match of the season's UEFA Cup.

However, the media focus is still on Tang Zhenglong, who staged the senior happiness.

Overnight, Tang Zhenglong's entire name became popular on the continent of Europa.

"I didn't expect the Bundesliga to have such a strong striker?"

From Sport Milano

Because one of the finalists was from Spain, the reporters of the newspaper "As" also followed the semi-finals in Cologne.

"Bremen seems to have given up the game in advance, and Tang Zhenglong's four balls are very wet."

The newspaper "As" specifically talked about the second goal.

"When Tang Zhenglong shot from outside the penalty area, none of the Bremen players stepped forward to block, which is very ridiculous."

The report suggests that Sevilla are a much stronger team than Bremen, so this semi-final is of little reference.

Another major sports outlet, The Kicker, praised Cologne's performance.

"From the Bundesliga to Europe."

"The Kaiserslautern miracle continues."

For the Germans, the Kaiser miracle is a civilian counterattack, but for Europe, there is no Kaiser miracle staged, and in the League Cup or the Champions League, it is more difficult for the weak team to counterattack than to ascend to the sky.

'The victory in Cologne was a football victory, they were playing in the Bundesliga last season, but now they have reached the final of the UEFA Cup.

The report analyzed Tang Zhenglong's performance in detail and coined a new word - phenomenal striker.

"Tang Zhenglong is the kind of player who can't be seen in the traditional eye, only this new word can sum him up, a phenomenal striker, a striker full of shortcomings and flamboyant personality, but always able to score goals at critical times."

The war of words in the media continued, and soon, the focus of the media shifted from Tang Zhenglong's performance in his senior year to his transfer.

Because according to intelligence, Tang Zhenglong's agents have been active in the UK recently, so the media naturally contacted that this is likely to be related to Tang Zhenglong.

The Cologne club training base, there are a lot of media who come to see the training today, and what is different from the past is that there are many foreign media, for which the Cologne club also invited a Spanish translator.

After training, Stevens stayed behind and faced the media.

"I heard that Tang Zhenglong is leaving?"

Stevens knows that this is already unstoppable, and judging from Tang Zhenglong's performance this season, leaving Cologne is a high probability event.

Tang Zhenglong's situation is similar to Podolski's, the better he performs, the faster he will leave the club.

Stevens laughed: "As long as the transfer fee is enough, anyone can leave, Cologne has no non-sale. ”

"Will Tang Zhenglong go to Bayern?"

"We will not sell Tang Zhenglong to an opponent in the Bundesliga, and if the Bundesliga team wants to buy Tang Zhenglong, then the price will be at least double that of a foreign club."

Depend on!!

With Tang Zhenglong's current value, 15 million euros is the least, while the Bundesliga team must spend 30 million, which is basically impossible.

A local reporter in Cologne asked: "Did the team try to keep Tang Zhenglong?" Even if it's a try. ”

In many things, failure is excusable, but if you don't even try, it's a matter of attitude.

Stevens's expression is complicated, a team of Cologne's level, cultivating stars is sent to big clubs, this is the rules of the game in the football world.

Barty can't be in Florence forever, people always have to eat.

Stevens could only smile reluctantly: "Our goal is to train the next Podolsky, the next Tang Zhenglong." ”

"It's our philosophy of survival, we're not Bayern, Juventus."

"Regarding the transfer fee, does the club have any psychological expectations?"

"I can't answer this, only after signing can you know how much Tang Zhenglong sold."

At this point, there is no need to hide a lot of things, otherwise it will be very fake, for example, Podolski is already looking for a house in Munich, and then the club says, we don't know anything, that is to take journalists for fools.

"Will the transfers of Tang Zhenglong and Lucas affect the UEFA Cup final?"

'They're professional players and they're not affected, and I would say that Sevilla aren't easier than us.

In fact, this is very true, Sevilla side is facing a bigger turnover problem, and manager Juan de Ramos has a big head.

Alves is eyed by Barcelona, as well as striker Fabiano, wingers Navas, Adriano, and striker Canute are all targeted by the giants.

Some Spanish media predict that if Sevilla win the championship, then the team will lose at least half of their stars.

Stevens shrugged, "Everyone has their own worries, and that's football. ”

*****

Liverpool, United Kingdom.

This is Benitez's third season in charge of Liverpool, and although there have been miracle nights like Istanbul during this period, in general, Liverpool is not yet a Premier League powerhouse, especially an embarrassing record continues, that is, after the Premier League restructuring, Liverpool is still without a title.

For Liverpool fans, the league title is even more important than the Champions League, and what you can't get is always the best.

Thinking about it, Benitez feels that he has figured out the gap between Liverpool and other giants, that is, the lack of a top striker.

Manchester United have Wayne Rooney, Arsenal have Thierry Henry, Chelsea have Didier Drogba, while Liverpool's forward line is Forley, Crouch, Kuyt.

It's not that these players are bad, but they are still far from the top strikers.

So Benitez was ready to bring in a top striker in the summer, and it was at this time that he saw the news of Tang Zhenglong's senior in the semi-finals of the League Cup.

UEFA Cup ......

Benitez's nerves became sensitive all of a sudden, and it is more common for giants to poach people from the League Cup, because those who play in the League Cup are definitely not top giants, so for a player, being able to go to the giants is equivalent to upgrading.

Benitez is ready to send his assistant to Cologne to take a look and try to make a tentative offer if it suits.

*****

London, Arsenal.

The hype of Thierry Henry's transfer to Barcelona has finally settled.

Thierry Henry moved to Barcelona for 24 million euros, and Arsene Wenger could only be helpless about it, he didn't want to see such a thing happen, and he hoped that Henry could end up at Arsenal.

But Henry's dream since childhood was to join Barcelona, so Wenger can't stop it, and the breakup between the two sides is peaceful.

Henry is gone, life still has to go on, someone must replace Henry, and Wenger's eyes are focused on Tang Zhenglong.

Because Chelsea are said to be in a flattering relationship with Raio.

What Chelsea wanted, Arsene Wenger wanted to snatch, so he started to do it as well.
