Chapter 613 A false alarm, the perfect final opponent!
"Congratulations, Rudy,"
"Congratulations on leading the team to the Champions League final for the first time."
"At this moment, what do you want to say?"
"Porto is great. They played a great game and they made us struggling at the Dragon Stadium. We are the luckier one and we advanced. I still think I'm dreaming, but this dream is too real, haha."
"Being able to advance to the finals is the effort put in by everyone in the team."
"Standing here today, we know very well what our goal is, go all out, win the game, advance to the finals, and head to Paris Saint-Denis Stadium."
“We did it.”
"With dreams in hand, move forward bravely!"
Speaking of this, Waller's eyes were wet and he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. It was a great dream for the players, so why didn't he do it? When he took over the team, he never thought that he would be able to lead the team to the Champions League final one day, but now it has really come true. This is not a daydream.
"The next step is to prepare for the Champions League final. Who do you think will be the opponent of Manchester United or Real Madrid?"
"I don't know, I think we are fearless now."
"Did you realize now that this game has caused your main players to lose half of their losses? Lucio cannot participate in the finals, Emerson, Ronaldinho, and Barack cannot play in the finals, and with Kilsten and Kovac, half of the main players cannot participate in the finals. And the most terrifying thing is, how is Zheng Zhi's injury?"
The reporter's words instantly made Waller cool all over.
yes,
Damn it, my main force!
Lucio, Emerson, Ronaldinho, Barack, Kilsten, Kovac! Six main players were unable to participate. Zheng Zhi just went to the hospital to shoot a movie, but he still didn't know what was going on.
"It's really sad, but I haven't thought about it yet. But I believe Kovac can catch up with the Champions League final, and Zheng Zhi's problem should not be big, but I think everything will be done until after the check is done."
"Although many main players cannot participate in the finals, we are a team and we still have many excellent players to come."
He said so, but who believes it?
This is just a substitute team to win the Champions League! What should I rely on an 18-year-old Ribery to do?
"Next, you should consider the league. Will you consider winning the league in advance?"
"Start by step, what should come will always come."
Waller smiled slightly, but his heart was so distressed that he was full of wounded people... ——
As soon as he returned to the locker room, Zheng Zhi went to the local hospital for further examination. When the press conference was held in Woral, Zheng Zhi had completed the inspection. At this time, he sat on the bench at the door with the team leader and was waiting anxiously.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the doctor inside the door finally came out.
But his face was really ugly, like his parents died.
Zheng Zhi took this scene in his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
It's over, looking at this guy's expression, it must be very serious! He guessed the result without the doctor talking.
At this time, reporters from ccbv5, Sina.com, Sohu.com and Sports Weekly also rushed to Zheng Zhi. When they saw Zheng Zhi's face, they seemed to have guessed something and stood still.
The doctor put the film in front of Zheng Zhi, and then said quietly: "You are so lucky,"
“No fracture.”
"It's just a muscle contusion."
"God, why should he be so kind to you?"
He spoke in Portuguese, and the team leader and the reporters couldn't understand it, only Zheng Zhi understood it.
But he also felt that he heard it wrong, it didn't seem that serious?
He raised his heavy eyelids.
"You just said, there is no fracture? It's just a muscle contusion?"
He understood these diseases and suddenly realized that the problem was not as serious as he had just imagined.
"Yes, you can fully recover after about 20 days of rest."
"Seriously, I really hope you get hurt a little more."
The doctor still has a dark face.
"Why?"
Zheng Zhi smiled. The news was so good, but why did he think he was seriously injured? But after thinking about it, he understood:
"Ah, you're a Porto fan!"
"I'm so sorry."
"Yes, I'm a Porto fan, but you don't need to say sorry, you won the battle."
The doctor finally laughed.
"By defeating us, you should defeat your next opponent and win the Champions League so that our sacrifice will not be so uncomfortable."
"Yes, we will, we will be the final winners."
"We will make you less uncomfortable."
Zheng Zhi shrugged.
"If you want to recover faster, you must use hot compresses and physical therapy to speed up tissue recovery, and this will be done every day after ten days."
"If you don't want to miss the Champions League final."
"Of course, thank you." Zheng Zhi stretched out his hands with kindness and expressed his gratitude to the doctor. ????
What's going on?
What exactly does it mean?
Except for Doctor Zheng Zhihe, everyone else was confused. It was obvious that the two of them looked like their parents had died, so why were they so happy now?
"Hey, doctor, what's the matter with his injury?"
Yan Qiang finally couldn't help it and asked hurriedly, but he used English.
"No big deal, but it's time to catch up with the final."
"ah?"
"You're so fucking!" Yan Qiang suddenly swears in Mandarin, and then turned around and rushed to Zheng Zhile without saying a word.
"Cao, Zheng Zhi, you scared us. I thought your injury was very serious!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I can catch up with the finals, haha."
"I want to send the news out as soon as possible." The ccbv5 reporter jerked, "The people of the whole country are waiting for your news now."
"I'll do it, I'll do it. Our Sina website is the fastest. I'll log in to the website and publish the message now!"
"Our Sohu.com is not slow either!"
...
...
At this moment, many fans are indeed paying attention to the news of Zheng Zhi's injury, and the Internet is hotly discussing Zheng Zhi's injury. Even the international players are chatting in OICQ.
Fan Zhiyi was chatting with Sun Jihai.
"Zheng Zhi probably wants to hang up,"
"Damn, I've been injured like this before, but it only recovered in two months. He just took the initiative to end, and I guess it's a mess."
"It's a pity to miss the finals in this life, alas, poor Zheng Zhi."
"It's okay, it's okay, he's still young, he has a chance, it's not the last chance, right?"
"It's also a pity that Zheng Zhi is playing in the Bundesliga. If he were in the Premier League, he would probably not be able to withstand it anymore. His physical fitness is still much worse, compared to us."
"If he comes to the Premier League in the future, it will probably be even worse."
Many fans were also drinking beer in the bar, worried about Zheng Zhi.
"Damn, if Zheng Zhi is injured and can't play, will he still play in the Champions League final? Almost no one is available to Leverkusen."
"It's up to that little guy Ribery? Oh my God, no matter whether the opponent is Manchester United or Real Madrid, you can beat Leverkusen to a dog."
"Okay, in fact, even if Zheng Zhizai, I don't think there is much possibility of Leverkusen winning the championship, after all, there are too many main players missing."
"It can be understood this way, it's better if you can't play, otherwise you will be even more sad if you lose."
...
...
Soon, Sina.com and Sohu.com released news almost at the same time! Zheng Zhi's injury is not serious, and he will come back before the Champions League final! At the same time, ccbv5 also reported Zheng Zhi's news on TV, and almost everyone knew that Zheng Zhi's injury was not that serious.
On the contrary, there is no more news in Germany.
The leader of the team, Leverkusen, was skeptical about the conclusion of the Portuguese doctor, so he did not report the news directly to Voral. Everything still needs to be returned to Germany for further review before he dared to draw a conclusion. Naturally, there will be no German media reporting on Zheng Zhi's injury.
The Germans are so rigorous and believe in their medical standards more. So German fans have no idea what Zheng Zhi's injury is.
However, the whole of Germany is in joy now, and Leverkusen's advance to the finals has diluted Zheng Zhi's injury.
UEFA awarded the best of the game to Ribery this time: Although he did not score, Ribery performed very well in the game. He worked tirelessly, ran hard, and fought bravely, so that Leverkusen's offense was not at a disadvantage. He also contributed everything in defense. I believe that in the Champions League final, he will assume greater responsibilities.
The German "Kicker" has the same opinion. Ribery scored 1 point from all the players: in a game that determines who enters the finals, the French young player used his diligence to make outstanding contributions to the team.
Zheng Zhi: 1.5 points. If he can play all the game, his score will be higher. His injury also exposed Leverkusen to many problems. Many players received yellow cards because of the lack of him. I hope his injury is not serious and he can catch up with the German Cup and Champions League finals. As for the league? Even if he is lacking, there should be no big problem?
Barack: 2 points, compared to the first leg, he performed much better today. His defensive efforts allowed him to get a yellow card and missed the Champions League final! Of course, this yellow card could not make us blame him, he tried his best.
Ronaldinho: 2 points, he scored two goals, but one of them was scored by hand. This handball gave him a yellow card and made him miss the final. He must have regretted doing this because he could have played in the Champions League final, but now he can only sit in the stands to watch the ball.
Emerson: Without Zheng Zhi around, Emerson finally discovered his shortcomings, but he quickly adjusted himself and tried to become the team's midfield core. Overall, he did a good job.
Neuville: 2.5 points. When he needed to stand up, he didn't do it. He didn't work hard enough. I hope he can prepare for the next Champions League final and seize the opportunity to complete the goal.
Hoffman: 2 points. With Kovac's long absence, Waller has no choice. Hoffman's strength is not enough to enter the lineup, but he has been improving.
Lucio: 1.5 points, another player who fell before the finals. It would be great if he didn't have that yellow card. He would be the most critical player in the finals. Now, it should be Harp who replaced him.
Lamelo: 2 points, the defense is very stable, but after playing in the midfield, his performance is very average.
Novotney: The defense is very stable, but the slow speed is too prominent. His performance on the defense line in the finals will be more important.
Grasco: There were a few times when the defense was very reckless, but overall it was still good.
Head coach Waller: Waller is lucky. He has a group of outstanding talented players, which has also allowed his team to go all the way to the present in the league, Champions League and German Cup. But to be honest, Waller's technical and tactical level still needs to be improved. For example, in this game, he is not smart in adjusting the team.
"Board" does not analyze as technically as "Kickers". They directly use comics to show Leverkusen's entry to the Champions League final, and also mocked him. In the comics, Leverkusen's soldiers stood on the final court with sharp swords, waiting for Manchester United or Real Madrid.
The Frankfurt Report puts a photo of Zheng Zhi being injured in the game and attached the text to have him, so he has everything. But now that this man is injured, what should Leverkusen do?
Early the next morning, Zheng Zhi just woke up and received a call from Shuster.
"Boy,"
"How is the injury?"
He spoke very quickly and asked Zheng Zhi about his injuries.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Muscle contusions, there is no big problem. The doctor said it would be fine if you rest for about twenty days."
"Can catch up with the final."
"That's good."
beep dou dou dou dou,
Then Shuster on the opposite side hung up.
"I'm a grass,"
"Just died like this? Don't say a few more words? At least you have to say a few more words in the Champions League final?"
Zheng Zhi was amused and crying. This is Shuster's style, which is completely different from ordinary people.
However, being able to call here also shows that Shuster was very concerned about him and his heart suddenly felt much warmer.
After the morning of the meal, accompanied by Yan Qiang, he went to the local hospital for a new round of examinations. The results of the re-examination were exactly the same as when he was in Portugal. It was indeed just a muscle contusion. If there was no major problem, he would feel much more at ease.
Being injured does not mean that you will keep recuperating at home. You must prepare in advance and you must not have any accidents.
Many reporters were waiting at his doorstep to interview him, but he refused. Instead, when Barak and his friends drove to the doorstep in the evening, the reporters were able to get some news from Zheng Zhi.
"I don't know,"
“But the result is not ideal at all,”
"I think he's likely to miss the game, right?"
Barack said it well, as if Zheng Zhi was really seriously injured. He didn't mind joking in front of the German media, although everyone knew that Zheng Zhi's injury was not serious.
"I think we can only sit in the stands together to watch the Champions League final."
Barack looked at Ronaldinho, Emerson and others in the seat, with a look of misery.
"This kid is lucky."
He glared at Ribery.
Everyone was visiting Zheng Zhi's home and watched Real Madrid's home match against Manchester United. Before the game started, Zheng Zhi asked everyone to taste the boiled chicken in white water, but many people refused. Soon everyone ordered takeaway. I couldn't stand the boiled chicken in white water, so I would rather order takeaway!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the second game of the Champions League 99-00, Real Madrid's home match against Manchester United was just about to start.
"Real Madrid, it's impossible for the victory to slip away at home."
"Not necessarily, Manchester United may also advance. Manchester United is a champion after all. They played in the final last year. In such an important game, experience often has a greater advantage. Although Real Madrid is also strong, don't forget that they were beaten 2:4 at home this season, so I think Manchester United can do it too."
"But I would rather meet Real Madrid than Manchester United,"
"Okay, I hope it's Real Madrid and Real Madrid's defense line, we're going to compete with each other."
"Michael! Look carefully, don't be abused by Robert Carlos then. This guy's speed is terrible." Barack patted Ribery's head with his hand, making Ribery concentrate. He can't play, but I hope Ribery can play well.
"He is right, Michael, you really meet an opponent this time. Robert's offense and defense speed is quite fast, and you will be very difficult at that time. Whether it is offense or defense, he is a little higher than you. This is really a master." Zheng Zhi also echoed.
Of course, Ribery knew very well. Brazil's most awesome left-back can even be ranked in the historical level. He has watched Real Madrid's games very much, and he is very familiar with Carlos.
"But I think if the head coach puts you on the left this time, I think there will be unexpected gains. Ponte should be on the right. Ponte will focus on defense and we will give up the offense on the right."
Zheng Zhi suddenly had an idea.
"It seems to be OK. Compared to the left, Real Madrid's right is relatively worse. Salgado is on the right, which is slow, and Frank's speed can completely destroy him."
Barack obviously also has some research on Real Madrid.
"Lucio is not here, our defense is in danger."
"Those two old guys are really not as good as Lucio," Barack grinned, "Don't tell them, I'm serious. If Lucio is here, he will be so handsome!"
"Ah hahahaha, I will definitely tell them, don't worry."
"Unless you invite us to a big meal."
Ronalnidio was confused: "Wait, the game has not started yet, why do you think your opponent will be Real Madrid? Do you think Manchester United does not exist?"
...
...
At about 20 o'clock, the match between Real Madrid and Manchester United officially began. After the opening, Manchester United played very conservatively, while Real Madrid made a big attack with their home advantage. However, the two sides played very anxiously in the first twenty minutes, and Real Madrid could not pry Manchester United's goal.
However, before the end of the first half, Raul seized the opportunity. Redondo made a direct pass in the backcourt, Guti got the ball in the frontcourt, and her left foot was blocked. Raul flashed and rubbed it gently from Sylvester, and finally scored.
With this goal, Real Madrid led 1:0.
In the second half, Manchester United began to attack wildly, trying to equalize the score, but was once again sneak attacked by Real Madrid. Guti was divided into the left, Robert Carlos made a cross, and Morientes headed the ball.
In the end, Manchester United was unable to make up for the situation, losing to Real Madrid 0:2, with a total score of 2:4 and losing the semi-finals.
Chapter completed!
