Me, Captain of China

"If it weren't for Buffon, we might lose an embarrassing score." Palma coach Malesani accepted the defeat very directly.

"Leverkusen played beautiful football."

"Their wave after wave of attacks made it difficult for us to parry."

"There are several outstanding players in their team, especially their midfielders. I think their midfielders are terrible even if they are placed in the whole of Europe. Few teams can compete with them. Leverkusen is lucky Yes, as far as I know, their players are very young, and they have a good future. Of course, these players are estimated to be targeted by scouts in the stands? "

"If you were to pick a player, who would you choose to join Palma?"

"Haha, this question ..." Malesani touched his chin. "I will choose number 10. The little guy is really great."

"Can I replace Ortega's position?"

"If Ortega doesn't have to play football on the court, he can."

Malesani couldn't help but beat Ortega through Zheng Zhi.

"Although he is very young, he plays very focused, confident, and manages Leverkusen's midfield well, everyone has a clear division of labor, and the collaboration is great. Our midfield did not do it. , So we are doomed to fail today. "

...

...

"I am very satisfied with the team's performance. Everyone is doing great. The only thing that is unhappy is that Novotny may have missed the game at the beginning of the season. From the preliminary examination results of the team doctor, his injury is not optimistic. . "

Waller laughed happily at the press conference, thinking that playing Palma was a test, but it was a surprise. The only thing that was unhappy was of course that Novotny was injured, but this was only a small episode. Ston Villa and Palma are enough to make him proud, and he is more and more confident about the upcoming new season.

"But Lucio can take his place."

He also praised Lucio, Novotny was injured, he now needs Lucio, and Lucio's performance is indeed remarkable.

Mentioning Zheng Zhi and Barak, he laughed even more.

"Zheng and Michael are the two most perfect deals that Leverkusen has done this season. The two of them have now been integrated into the team. I believe that as the game deepens, they will play better and better."

Mention the goals of the new season? Waller was cautious and did not say to win the championship.

"We don't think so much about the new season, we don't want to put too much pressure on the players, we just want to play every game well. When the end of the season comes, we naturally know where we stand and what we achieve."

"Will Daum return to the club?"

"do not know……"

...

...

Although Waller was very low-key, he beat Palma 3: 2, almost all of Germany cheered for Leverkusen, "Kicker" directly pulled Bayern Munich out of the whip corpse-beat Palma 3: 2, Lever Cucson showed their strong fighting strength and resilience, and Barcelona two months ago, Bayern Munich did not do it, also in the last three minutes, Leverkusen won the victory, and Bayern Munich lost the Champions League!

——Leverkusen under Waller is obviously stronger, more confident, and more resilient than Leverkusen under Daum. In the new season, they may overthrow Bayern Munich and win the Bundesliga championship. The midfield of Beinrich, Barack, Zheng Zhi, Emerson and Ze Roberto is not inferior to Bayern Munich. Yu stronger! The most frightening thing is that these guys are quite young, not comparable to the old guys of Bayern Munich!

"Photo" is also optimistic about Leverkusen, and believes that this year's Leverkusen will make a difference in the Champions League, which will be better than in previous years-being able to beat the UEFA Champions League Palma means that this Teams can beat any team. If they play well in the Champions League this year, they may have surprising results. Freshmen Zheng Zhi and Barak will be their biggest motivations. They have only used four games to integrate into the team.

"Frankfurt Report"-when Frankfurt's heart was transplanted to Leverkusen, Leverkusen also became the most favorable competitor for the Bundesliga champions, and Frankfurt will likely continue to have a relegation season in order to replace Zheng Zhicong Qi Hong, who was introduced from China, has not played a persuasive performance so far. After the Wuchang game, he handed over 1 goal and 0 assists. Schuster would like to return the product.

"Der Spiegel"-This season the Bundesliga will no longer be a standout for Bayern Munich. Leverkusen will launch a more violent attack on the champion. It seems that only they defeat them, not their opponents.

"Germany"-Bayern was shaking, a senior executive revealed that they regretted not buying Zheng Zhi and Barak this summer, so that the combat power of Leverkusen was further strengthened, saying that this is a decision-making mistake by Bayern Munich senior.

...

...

Several well-known spinach companies in Europe have also opened the Bundesliga championship odds for the season, Leverkusen and Bayern Munich tied for the top spot! At this time last year, Bayern Munich was far ahead. Although Leverkusen ranked second, the odds gap is quite large, but this year is different, and there is no distance.

In the winning index of the new season, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen ranked first with an extremely low odds of 1.21, while Dortmund ranked second with 5.00. The third-placed Dortmund win index was 18.00, and Kaiserslautern ranked fourth with 41.00.

It seems that the championship battle is between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen.

In terms of the odds of the best shooter, Elber ranked first at 3.40 and Kirsten was second. His odds were 4.33, and the scores of the following shooters all reached more than 8.00. Unlike them, Zheng Zhi ’s former teammates Klose and Yang Chen are also on the list. Klose ’s odds are 20.00, and Yang Chen ’s is farther away. The odds are 40.00, which is almost negligible. Although they have performed very well last season, because of Zheng Zhi's departure, they may also lose a lot. Without Zheng Zhi's offensive in the midfield, Frankfurt's midfield and frontcourt standards must have dropped sharply.

This special friendly game has also attracted attention in Italy, and several major sports newspapers have reported and commented on the game.

"Gazzetta dello Sport"-Palma, who just got the UEFA Cup, encountered Waterloo in Germany. The tough Germans gave them a good lesson. The score of 2: 3 is not embarrassing, but Palma exposed a lot in the game. The new aid Ortega did not integrate into the team, and almost caused a group fight on the field. The departure of Chiesa and Veron actually reduced their frontcourt attack power, but Amoruso and Crespo also It is full of expectations.

Then the "Gazzetta dello Sport" also issued a warning: Although German football has been in a recession in the past two years, their club has not lost, Bayern Munich broke into the final, almost won the Champions League, Leverkusen can beat the UEFA Cup Champion Palma told us that Germany and England are catching up with us, and the gap between them and us is getting smaller and smaller. Even Manchester United defeated Inter Milan and Juventus consecutively last season, let us see Europe Quietly changing!

"Turin Sports News"-the UEFA Cup champion suffered an incredible defeat in Germany, the German team beat Parma in the Italian way. The Leverkusen team is a bit different from other German teams. They play gorgeous, delicate, and very creative. This is obviously not what a German team has. Ze Roberto, Emerson from Brazil, two German midfielders Barack and Beinrich, and finally a commander from China, Zheng Zhi, these five young The midfield looks like an indestructible tank.

"Roman Sports"-football is always a team sport, Palma thought he could put the bet on Ortega, but he did not know that Ortega was only directing a farce, and Leverkusen's five-man midfielder Almost made Palma lose his helmet and remove his armor. If it is not the performance of teenager Buffon, Palma may be **** slaughtered there. Before that, Palma defeated Premier League team Aston Villa 7: 1, and Palma lost a little Not wronged, they should be glad that it was just this score ...

At the Eagle Stadium in Frankfurt, Zheng Zhi wore a grey peaked cap and black sunglasses on the stands. No Frankfurt fans recognized him, he was cheering for Frankfurt like a normal fan.

This is a Champions League playoff against Frankfurt and Galatasaray, and finally decides who will enter the top 32 group stage.

In the first round, Frankfurt have lost 1: 3 away. Klose's away goal saved Frankfurt's hopes, but to win, they must defeat Galatasaray 2: 0 at home. Before the game, Schuster and the team were full of confidence.

Only Zheng Zhi is not very optimistic ...

If you remember correctly, Galatasaray is the UEFA Cup champion this season. They were eliminated in the Champions League and then won the UEFA Cup. And Zheng Zhi also recognized several perverts in this team.

Haji and Jader. It's enough to have these two guys.

Haji is known as "Maradona in the Carpathians" and "midfield conspirator." This nickname Dorawind, there is such a guy sitting in the midfield, plus a phenomenal striker ...

Although Frankfurt was fighting at home, but was unable to parry Galatasaray's attack, Li Yin and Shure did their best to prevent Jader from scoring a goal.

0: 1 behind Frankfurt was eager to equalize the score, but was then sneaked into the second goal by Jader. Both goals were assisted by Haji.

In the end, Frankfurt defeated 0: 2 at home and bid farewell to the Champions League with a total score of 1: 5.

"I knew that without Zheng, we were nothing."

"I actually expected the team to compete in the Champions League? I'm too stupid and naive."

"The guy Schuster bought back to replace Zheng didn't even play for a minute. What was the reason for buying him? I remember when he joined but he vowed to be the new Zheng Zhi, but hehe ... … "

"The club's chairman is so stupid that even Zheng can sell it. Alas, this is the dumbest deal I've ever seen. Now, we are going to be cold. Bye bye in the Champions League, let's prepare for how to relegate this season!

"Ah, what a **** day."

...

...

Zheng Zhi was sitting in the stands listening to the fans talking, and he was in a very sad mood. Indeed, if he didn't leave Frankfurt, maybe this game still has a fight, but now there is no fight back. It is normal for fans to miss him, but he is also full of guilt in his heart, and he really dare not face Frankfurt fans.

I was still thinking about going to the locker room to comfort my former teammates, but think about it, so as not to stimulate everyone. The past is always past, don't disturb it ...

The weather in Nyon, Switzerland, in mid-August was very good. When Waller came here, he happened to meet Bayern coach Hessfield. Waller took the initiative to greet Heathfield. Although Heathfield was at Bayern, the coach was worthy of respect. Hessfield smiled when he saw Waller.

"Rudy,"

"good luck."

"Good luck to you too."

At the German level, they are still very united, and they wish each other a good sign.

The 99-00 Champions Cup has expanded, but it is not better than in previous years. Even the group stage has to be divided into two rounds. I do n’t know if I can survive this first round. The European champions are like Lin. It only requires strength and good luck. The bench thickness is not strong enough, I dare not think about it ...

At the scene, there are many famous places and top coaches, just like the annual World Football Awards Party, it is very lively. Hessfield obviously has a good popularity among the people. Many coaches came to greet him, but Waller, a rookie coach, not many people can recognize him.

Manchester United coach Ferguson also came over and gave Heathfield a thick hug. At this time, Waller noticed that the expression on Heathfield's face was a bit cloudy, and it certainly reminded me of the Champions League final in May. . Ferguson is the winner ...

Soon, the lottery ceremony began, and Waller found an inconspicuous corner and sat down. His eyes were full of expectations. Naturally, Leverkusen was not a seed team. Being able to divide into the second echelon has already made him very satisfied.

The seed teams of the eight teams are Lazio, Barcelona, ​​Feyenoord, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Bordeaux and AC Milan.

When the seed teams of the eight teams determined the order, Waller did not wait long, the name of Leverkusen came out, and they were divided into Group A!

Following Lazio, they ranked second.

There were no waves on the scene. After all, there is really nothing to be fussed about. Leverkusen is really nothing in Europe at this time. Lazio as a seed team is quite scary.

But the second group immediately caused an uproar, because the powerful Florence was divided into the Barcelona group! Florence, with the God of War Batistuta, can naturally cause madness.

The other groups did not have much ripples.

Then Dynamo Kiev and Maribo entered the Group A one after another, and Waller didn't even know which country Maribo is from ...

Draw a winning lot! He thinks so. Lazio stands out in Group A. Leverkusen's biggest competitor should be Dynamo Kyiv. This team was a semifinal Champions League last season! The team that almost made Bayern Munich gully overturn.

It is the so-called European dark horse.

However, the Ukrainian striker who killed Real Madrid and tossed Bayern to death has moved to AC Milan. This Dynamo Kiev team should not be stronger than last season.

As for that Maribo? It's purely a gift!

Waller played his wishful calculation ...

The grouping is fairly balanced. For the death group, it should be group B and group F. , And Group H ...

Group A

Lazio, Leverkusen, Dynamo Kiev, Maribo

Group B

Barcelona, ​​Florence, Arsenal, Stockholm AIK

Group C

Rosenborg, Red Star, Feyenoord, Boavista

Group D

Marseille, Manchester United, Zagreb, Graz

Group E

Porto, Real Madrid, Olympiacos, Molde

Group F

Glasgow Rangers, Valencia, Bayern Munich, Eindhoven

Group G

Bordeaux, Sparta Prague, Spartak Moscow, William II of Tilburg

Group H

Hertha Berlin, Chelsea, AC Milan, Galatasaray

Out of the lottery scene ~ www.readwn.com ~ Kicker "reporter has caught Heathfield to ask questions. Heathfield's complexion is not good, because Bayern Munich is just in Group F. The three teams of Glasgow Rangers, Valencia and Eindhoven are not easy to mess with.

"I have nothing to say. It is like this every year. If you want to win the final championship, you must win all the teams. If you meet everyone the same, Bayern must win."

Heathfield waved his hand and then left the scene. Everyone had to talk to Waller.

"Rudy, what do you think of the grouping?"

Waller was relaxed, "There is no special feeling, we are the new European team, not much experience in the Champions League, as long as we strive to play every game, we are not like Bayern Muhei, every year All want the Champions League. "

Hessfield, who had left ten meters away, still heard it, and he felt a bit queasy in his heart. He always felt that Waller's sentence was not right in some places. What does it mean to want the Champions League every year?

"Do you think the team can make it?"

"Of course, this is the most basic requirement. I believe we have enough motivation to play the Champions League, but we will not put pressure on ourselves."

"Will it affect the league?"

"Of course not, we have enough players to deal with third-line combat."
