Chapter 226 The Suffocating Union of Berlin
Chapter 226 The Suffocating Union of Berlin
Isn’t Philip Neville British? Normally the British should make good use of this opportunity. Even Italy has made a statement. Of course, it’s the same as farting when they get a statement. No country in this world will be afraid of Italy. Threats, if they really dare to start a war, they are giving away heads, even equipment.
In order to leave Istanbul as soon as possible, their luggage had already been sent to the airport, and the way to the airport was smooth. After all, it was impossible for the Turks to let Union Berlin really do something here. Before Edward was injured, many stars in Hollywood appeared. Having condemned the extreme fans and expressing concern about the security of Istanbul, the Turks are completely devastated.
After returning to the plane, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if it was the next day.I was still fighting against those extreme fans in the stadium just now, and now I am back in a comfortable private plane, so I am exhausted. Some players have fallen asleep before the plane takes off. They are really tired. To withstand the pressure of the opposing fans.
Now in a safe place, they finally couldn't stand it any longer.Edward doesn't feel that way. The feeling of playing football on the court is completely different from watching it on the sidelines.When the players are playing football, they are quite nervous, and in such a dangerous environment, it is normal for them to feel extremely tired. Coupled with the exhaustion of physical energy, they suddenly don't have to stretch their nerves, so they fall asleep quickly.
Hearing the roar of the plane starting, Edward said with emotion: "It's great to finally leave this land."
"Yeah," Boas, who was sitting next to him, opened his eyes and said, "What happened in the past few days is too unreal. It's like a movie. Victory Escape?"
"Hahaha, escape from the tiger's mouth!"
If this kind of thing hadn't happened, it would be hard to imagine this kind of situation in Europe in the 21st century. The European media has been promoting this place as the best place in the world, and everyone is very friendly and nice to speak.But this situation is simply lying.
The whole of Eastern Europe is very poor, Central Europe is severely discriminated against, and there are always problems in Istanbul. The Balkans are full of wars, and it is not as beautiful as they advertise.
Moreover, European people generally have some superstitions. Even people with high education will believe in ghosts and gods inexplicably, so things still have to be viewed dialectically.Edward was deep in thought, what benefit this incident could bring them.After going through so much, if you really don't get some benefits, you will feel sorry for yourself.
The team encountered difficulties together. Now the team is very united, and the little conflicts between the players have disappeared. This is a good thing.But how else to fight for the interests of the Berlin Union?
Looking at Edward's previous life experience, it is a principle in European and American countries that children who cry have milk!Therefore, this matter must not end so simply. After returning home, let the players accept two more interviews. Edward is going to go on TV with the team staff. When the time comes, he will complain and talk about his feelings at that time, and strive to win more people. sympathy.
This really needs a script, not to say that you directly fabricate your experience in Istanbul, but how to describe your own experience is also an art. After returning, he plans to give the "Berliner Zeitung" a task, first let them interview the team to know the situation, and then help Write down what you should say when you are on TV.
perfect!
In this way, UEFA will also feel a lot of pressure. If they dare not do anything, Edward will directly hire someone to protest at the gate of their headquarters. He learned this method from the milk tea seller in his previous life.Find people to line up to make a false impression that it is in full swing, and use this unfair business practice to deceive consumers.
Of course football is not the same as doing business, but he is ready to put pressure on UEFA in the same way. Let more pressure be put on, let UEFA understand what public opinion cannot be violated, and people throughout Europe are sympathetic to Union Berlin. .
After thinking about what he should do next, Edward also felt a little tired, and fell asleep immediately after a sense of drowsiness struck.
When the crew told them that they were about to land in Berlin, Edward got up and Fabio gave a speech:
"Gentlemen, I can't go on calling you lads or kids at this time, because each of you has done mature things."
"Every one of you is a hero in this trip to Istanbul."
"Our performance in the Champions League this time perfectly embodies what is the spirit of resistance and what is sportsmanship. After suffering inhuman treatment, you can still perform so perfectly on the court. I am really proud of you. You are now It's a great team."
"Adversity makes heroes, all of you are heroes, now we are going back to Berlin, the fans must be waiting outside the airport, so give you 10 minutes, pack your clothes, no matter how tired you are, you must pay attention to your image .”
"After today's disbandment, everyone will be on vacation for two days. During this period, if someone wants to interview you, you must be a bit miserable, understand?"
"Mr. Chairman!" Van Persie raised his hand and asked, "Is it what we learned in acting class?"
Edward gave Van Persie a thumbs up and said: "Recall your fear when you were in danger before, and think about your fighting spirit when you were on the court, and you will know how to tell the reporter. We encountered difficulties and dangers. We Ordinary people are afraid, but we defeated the fear and bloodbathed Istanbul, we are Union Berlin!"
"Long live Union Berlin!!!"
There was a commotion on the plane, and the crew members did not encounter any danger, but their expressions seemed to be more terrifying than what happened to the Union Berlin players. The main reason is that Edward is here, and the boss has suffered. What to do.
Boas suddenly felt that Edward was really good. A few words made the team understand the current situation and mobilized the children's emotions. When they got off the plane, the situation was very exciting.
Edward nodded in satisfaction, sat back in his seat, and began to organize his clothes. He doesn't need to be glamorous, a little bit of embarrassment is the best.
Boas thought of it with him, he pulled his tie and unbuttoned his shirt a few times. The two of them found that they were doing the same thing, and they looked at each other like a hero.
The players are tired, so no matter how hard they try to tidy up, they will only look bright on the surface. The fatigue on their faces cannot be concealed. Edward and Boas are not so tired, so they need to use their appearance to decorate themselves.
Before he came back, Edward had already called the "Berliner Zeitung", the Queen's media of the Berlin Union. They would send five reporters to take pictures of the Berlin Union. At that time, some of the photos would be selected for publication. The task given by Edward was to find some Photos that can reflect their encounters without affecting the image of the team, it is best to capture the expressions of the players, what kind of firm eyes, stubborn expressions, when the time comes with inflammatory words, an article will be posted soon The same article as the official account of the previous life was released.
This is a proposition shooting, and their editor-in-chief attaches great importance to it, so there are only 5 reporters waiting at the airport to take pictures.As for other European media, they can't control them. They can only find some familiar people to briefly explain what Edward means. I believe they will not reject this young chairman who has never spared money.
After several hours of flight, it was finally time to land in Berlin. The expressions on the faces of many players changed, and the emotional Stekelenburg even touched his tears.
With the roar of the engine stalling, Edward's private plane landed at Berlin Tegel Airport.
Tegel Airport is the main international airport of Berlin, the capital of Germany, located about 8 kilometers in the direction of Tegel in the Leinickendorf district of Berlin.The airport is named after German aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal and it is the fourth busiest airport in Germany.
Although it was late at night at this time, and the location of the airport was relatively remote, the gate of the airport was already blocked by fans, and there was a crowd of fans waiting at the gate of the airport. They were all wearing Union Berlin jerseys.
The crowd burst into cheers when they saw Edouard and Villas-Boas leading the players out of the VIP tunnel.
"Our heroes are back!"
"Well done boys..."
"You guys are tough guys, we will make those Turks pay in the future!"
"David, your hat-trick is really cool!"
"Sun, Sun, look over here, I love you..."
Countless fans wearing Union Berlin jerseys, holding scarves and slogans, have been waiting here since the moment they left Istanbul. A few hours did not cool down their mood, but broke out with even greater enthusiasm.
Uniform applause, all kinds of beautiful praise, the performance of the fans made the players' eyes a little moist, it is really like a soldier just off the battlefield seeing his relatives, especially seeing his family members standing in the crowd , They couldn't control their emotions anymore and cried.
Young faces, red eyes full of exhaustion, but the body is still standing upright, this kind of scene is really unimaginable.
Kacha Kacha Kacha... Keep pressing the shutter, Carl Green keeps saying yes, that's it.He came here today to complete the task, and now it looks like the scene is better than he thought.
These photos will surely become big news when they are sent out, and may even win the favor of Eduard Hoffmann, the king of Berlin.Their newspaper already has two editor-in-chiefs who have made great progress after being appreciated by Mr. Hoffman. Although he is only a reporter, he is also a reporter with ideals.
Edward felt his scalp tingling when he saw the crowd of people. He didn't expect so many people to pick him up at the airport. It looked like tens of thousands of people. They waited here so late and didn't go to sleep. The fans this year are very good. ah.
As the chairman of the club, he really should come out to show his presence at this time. Edward asked the airport staff to take a loudspeaker, find a stool to stand on it and make a speech: "Dear people, we are back. We encountered a terrible situation in Turkey. Attack, even wanted to give up the game at one point, but thinking of you, the players decided to keep playing, they don't want you to be disappointed... We had a brilliant victory, the Berliners are never intimidated, thank you very much for coming Airport, but it’s getting late now, and the players are tired, so let’s go home early, we will have some special arrangements for the next home match day, thank you again for coming to the airport today.”
Edward's words are still very useful. The fans left reluctantly, and the players hugged and cried with their families.Edward left directly and walked to the side of the street. His S600 was already waiting there. Now he also wanted to see his family and couldn't wait.
Twenty minutes later, seeing the gate of Hoffman Manor, Edward almost couldn't help crying emotionally.In the past, he always felt that Germany was not good, but after all, he has his relatives here. After such a experience, he felt very anxious to go home.
After getting off the car, he even jogged upstairs, but when he got upstairs, he was immediately stunned.
Jennifer Aniston, Winona Ryder, Caroline, Avril Lavigne, Scarlett Johansson are all sitting there, this situation is not quite right.
Under normal circumstances, Aniston, Winona, and Caroline were at home. Edward hesitated and wanted to turn around.
"Eddie, are you going to run straight away?"
Jennifer Aniston asked.
"How...how is it possible." Edward said with a strong smile, the three trials are definitely not a good thing, Avril Lavigne and Scarlett are both busy, there must be something for them to appear here.
Edward is not stupid, and it doesn't show that the situation is wrong.
"Eddie, I told you not to let you go to Istanbul, you have to go, do you know how worried we were when we saw the news of your injury, for fear that something might happen to you, if there is something wrong with you, what will we do?" manage……"
"I'm fine, I'm very hungry now, can I have some food first?" Edward said pitifully.
Although they knew that he was pretending, the girls let him go. He had already suffered outside, and if he was still annoyed by their persecution when he got home, Edward might really run away.
Later, Edward repeatedly promised to protect himself in the future, and the girls forgave her, but the night was still very tiring, and Edward suddenly felt that he was not so happy to be back in Berlin.
------------
The wind in the newspapers the next day was of course in Union Berlin's favour.
The whole of Europe is strongly condemning the law and order in Istanbul, and most European league teams have expressed their concerns about going to Turkey to play away games.
Ferguson: It's really bad there. If I get the Istanbul team, I may choose to retire directly.
Wenger: There are only two countries in the world that I don't want to go to. One is Russia and the other is Turkey. The experience of playing games in these two countries is very bad, and I don't feel the fun of football at all.
Benitez: It's really scary. After seeing what happened to Union Berlin, I don't want to play in Istanbul at all.
Ancelotti: What a shame, UEFA must severely punish Galatasaray.
Cruyff: They finally returned to Germany safely. I thought the end of the world was coming. These days, I was always worried that half of the Dutch national team would be destroyed. Yes, Union Berlin is half of the Dutch national team. Now I am finally relieved. Take a breath.
Mourinho: I have a good relationship with the players, and now I still have some contact. I am really happy to see that they have no problems.
The former Union Berlin player Sneijder also accepted an interview: "I was very worried about their safety before, and now I am finally relieved. I have many friends in Union Berlin. I really feel sad for what happened to them. It is hard for you to imagine such a situation." It happened in Europe."
The "Berliner Zeitung" has harsh words: "What happened to our players there can only be seen in movies. Someone must be responsible for such a terrible thing. Is there a need for the Istanbul team's home stadium? Who will compensate the injured players? And the loss of the team, Robben will not be able to return to the team for at least January, which is a very big blow to Union Berlin. Not only that, many players have been seriously traumatized psychologically, Galatasaray must give Union Berlin A statement."
In the afternoon, the Berlin Union held a press conference, and Edward attended it in person.
"I believe that many people have already understood what happened to us there. Murder is murder. This kind of thing must not be counted as such. The license plate of the fans who drove maliciously and robbed the road that day has been recorded. All the players in the car, the team's staff and the team's journalists filed a lawsuit against the fans in the European Court of Justice."
This is what I have repeatedly thought about before. If it is easy to talk about football in the name of the team, the situation may not be painful at that time. In the end, Galatasaray apologized to the fans.
How could Edward accept this result? This was the closest he was to death. He must make those Galatasaray fans pay the price. When they are in prison, they will just wait to sing Chrysanthemum Stage every day.
The reporters in the audience also thought of this joint, but this time they really didn't feel that Edward had gone too far. After all, anyone who encountered such a thing would react violently.
David Gill and Edward looked at each other, took the microphone and said: "We express our strong indignation and protest against the opponent's vicious and shameless behavior, but the opponent has no intention of restraining himself at all, so our players decided to win on the court. The other party gave the opponent an unforgettable lesson, and then there was an almost exaggerated score in this game. This is our counterattack to the opponent's despicable methods. Union Berlin will never give in to any opponent. If anyone wants to play tricks, You must first consider whether you can afford the consequences."
Menacing, blatantly menacing, aggressively menacing, David Gill feels good.
At this time, a reporter asked: "Mr. Edward, do you know what happened to the Union Berlin fans who left early?"
Edward's heart skipped a beat. What did they do? They were too busy coming back yesterday, and they really forgot about the fans who went away with the team. Since the reporter asked this question, it means that they must not be injured. This is already unfortunate. Fortunately, now I just hope they don't cause too much trouble.
"Sorry, I haven't had time to contact the fans after returning to Berlin to ask what they have done."
"They attacked some innocent citizens in Istanbul and took away all the street signs nearby."
Hahahahahahahahaha... Hearing the Turkish reporter's speech, the entire conference hall burst into laughter. What he said was so funny, he stole all the nearby street signs, why didn't he say he stole all the traffic lights in Istanbul?
But Edward knew in his heart that those bastards could indeed do such a thing. Edward now thought that the fans of his team did it first, but so what.
"I don't know what happened, so I can't listen to your one-sided words. If there was a gang fight, it would definitely not be our fans who took the initiative to provoke. The Berlin Union fans are the highest-quality fans in the world. Every one of them loves peace. , I never take the initiative to cause trouble, and the law and order in Berlin is also very good, so I think there is something wrong with what you said, and the thing like taking away the street signs is even more nonsense."
"But it just happens."
"Then do you have evidence?" Edward asked.
The reporter had no choice but to sit down resentfully, not to mention him, no one had any evidence, the police immediately took away all the nearby surveillance videos after they arrived at the mall, and there were not many surveillance videos in the first place.
In fact, the Turkish police are also very confused now. The international public opinion was not good at first, but after watching the video in the past, it was their own fans who did it first. He did not admit that this happened. As for the missing street signs, he only said that the municipal government needed to replace them with new ones.
This matter is tacit, and the reporter knows what is going on, but it is too much to think about finding a place for Union Berlin.
UEFA is also in trouble now. Philip Jennings found a few Swiss Union Berlin fans to take the lead and asked them to go to the UEFA headquarters to protest. Europeans are really good at this point. A few fans not only Using love to generate electricity, the fans who were dragged by them to join in the fun didn't mention money at all. Once the bus was arranged, and the slogans and banners were distributed, everyone was as happy as going to a temple fair, which also showed how free Europeans are.
In the evening, the Union Berlin team doctor took Robben to participate in the Sky TV program. In the afternoon, some players were interviewed. As more and more victims came forward to speak out, UEFA could no longer sit still.
They finally announced the results of Galatasaray that night.
Galatasaray will close 15 home games in the future and fine them 20 euros because of the unfavorable restraint of fans and the interruption of games by their fans.
This is a sky-high fine, but Edward still feels very sorry. Closing the home stands does not mean safety. There may be dangers on the way to the stadium. The best way is to cancel the Turkish team’s home stadium, but this kind of thing is very difficult. do it.After all, it is only a problem of one club's game, and it is difficult to involve the national teams. It is impossible to suspend the Turin team for the fan riots in Juventus.
After the press conference, Edward immediately met with the members of the fan organization. The experience of their 500 people made Edward very curious. After figuring out the cause and effect, Edward decided to give each of them a first-team signed jersey on the spot, and those signs were all included in the team. In the museum, the team will write their stories during the exhibition. This is simply a legend. These crooked nuts have really big brains.
Why don't you steal all the trash cans on the streets of Istanbul and make them stink like Paris.
Anyway, as long as they didn't get hurt.
Edward did what he said and gave the first team two days off.But he, Boas and others are still working nervously.
When I came back, it was too late to train and I faced Stuttgart directly.
At that time, this group of children did not embarrass the team at all. Ronaldinho cut inside and broke the opponent's goal shortly after the opening.The two teams also have a lot of connection. The first team that Union Berlin met in the second division was Stuttgart. At that time, Union Berlin was the challenger, but now the status of the two sides has been exchanged.
Because of Robben's injury, Ribery appeared in the starting lineup. Stuttgart players regarded him as a soft persimmon, but this little-known wide player immediately showed his talent. The action made those long-established stars feel overwhelmed, and the precise crosses after the bottom were constantly delivering shells to the forwards.
Now Ribery has matured a lot, and he will not only think about himself when playing football.
Soon he assisted Van Persie with a cross to help the team continue to rewrite the score.
The first half ended 2:0, and the second half changed sides to fight again.
Stuttgart, which is playing at home, is getting more and more fierce. It is estimated that the coach scolded these players a lot in midfield.
But in front of Union Berlin, willpower can't change the result at all. Especially after experiencing the plight of Istanbul, the players of Union Berlin have grown rapidly.
Harvey Alonso, who returned to the starting lineup, quickly continued to expand the lead with a volley shot. He was unable to face Galatasaray with his teammates. He has always regretted that so many dangers have been avoided. , I couldn't escape the last blow, and I was slightly strained during training.
After the goal, Xavi Alonso took off his shirt and ran and roared wildly.
Three goals behind, Stuttgart replaced two forwards in one breath, and it was a succumbing posture. Boas felt that the opponent's coach was bloody, but if he knew what Boas was thinking, he would definitely wish for it. He just wanted to play. Scoring a goal gives the fans an explanation.
After the substitution, Stuttgart's tactics were simpler and more rude, playing high-altitude bombing with Union Berlin with continuous crosses.
But Vidic is in very good condition today, all the crosses were shot down near his airspace, he is Union Berlin's most reliable ground-to-air weapon.
Stuttgart's relentless offense still played a role. Pepe, who partnered with Vidic, was emotional and pulled down the Stuttgart forward in the penalty area to send points. The final score was fixed at 3:1.
In the subsequent League Cup, they drew Hasfield again. Seeing this result, the opponent's coach replaced the reserve team very poorly. There were only 3 substitute players in the entire starting lineup.
Although Boas also rotated the team, he still won the game very easily. If he hadn't confessed to save some face for the opponent, the final score could not have been a simple 4:0.
In the next game against Frankfurt, Union Berlin won again easily with 2 goals. In this game, the opponent performed very well, but Van der Sar used his superb performance to block the opponent's at least 4 must-go goals. In this case, Frankfurt It can only be done in vain.
In the post-match press conference, Villas-Boas praised the Dutch goalkeeper: "Didn't you hear what the fans called him, Saint Edwin, Edwin van der Sar is the best goalkeeper in Europe in my eyes, no one I can be compared with him, as long as he is in Union Berlin, I don’t have to worry about the goals. My only wish now is that he can play in the team until he is 50 years old.”
When he saw the news, Stekelenburg almost fainted. If Van der Sar really played for too long, he might never have a bright future.
Next, Berlin ushered in the last game of the Champions League group stage, playing against Juventus at home.
This game has no meaning for the two sides. They have now secured the No.1 position in the group, and Juventus has also confirmed the group qualifying.
So both teams have made a certain level of personnel adjustments. Lippi's team is still very solid in defense. Today Thuram is as indestructible as the Great Wall of Scotland.
At the beginning of the game, Juventus still had some ideas, but after Union Berlin made a counterattack, Juventus saw the deadly counterattack speed of Union Berlin, and recalled the first round of the game and immediately returned to their own half.
Although Robben did not play, the side combination of Ronaldinho and Ribery was equally sharp. Ribery performed too well today. He turned Juventus' defense upside down on the right.
The wind-like counterattack speed made Juventus, who had no way to limit them, completely decided to focus on defensive IQ. Lippi continued to command from the sidelines to keep the players focused, and put the main energy on dealing with the two wide players of Union Berlin. , although the game is meaningless, but as an Italian giant, they still have to face. They must win the opponent next time, and they cannot lose to Union Berlin in both rounds of the group stage.
Today, Juventus' two defensive midfielders are also very thoughtful when defending. One of them takes the initiative to grab the defensive team players, and the other is responsible for maneuvering on the sidelines.
Although it was the second match, Boas still felt that Juventus' playing style was too shameless. As a giant, they could only defend and counterattack, but their defensive counterattack was more stable than that of many teams.
Lippi also has no choice. Berlin Union's offensive speed is too fast. Their speed is terrible for Serie A players. If he lets the team press forward, he can easily be pierced through the defense.
Today Nedved stayed in the frontcourt to counterattack, and Juventus will not have the problem of not being able to attack.
Union Berlin's passes and receptions were pleasing to the eye, and the offense was like mercury pouring down the ground, but once it entered the area covered by the Juventus defense line, the offense began to have no way to advance, and it was no different from the first round of the game.
Lippi looked very helpless, because he knew that there might be loopholes in the team's physical decline later, but fortunately, there are more preparations today.
The reason why he didn't let Piero start is to wait for Del Piero to play in the second half to find opportunities.
So there is not much to watch in the game now, only Union Berlin's offense is relatively good, but there is no way to penetrate Juventus' penalty area. The home fans feel very irritable and keep booing Juventus players.
You are a super rich team in Italy. Last year, you entered the Champions League final. Now that you have qualified for the Champions League group stage, you don’t even have the courage to attack?
Although the Bundesliga teams are often kicked by Union Berlin with a big score, they never fail to attack when they should attack. Juventus' defense today is too extreme, which makes Union Berlin fans look down on them.
So what are you talking about the giants, they don't even have the courage to attack in front of them.
During the intermission, the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 0:0.
In the second half, Union Berlin brazenly launched an attack on Juventus' penalty area. It doesn't matter if they can't get in. Long shots, endless long shots, basically they have the ability to take a kick. Today's game they are bound to win their previous 5 group matches Win all of them, as long as you win this game, you can create another history of the team.
The players are still very motivated to play in Union Berlin, because they can always create one record after another. The team does not have a glorious history, but they can create it themselves. This feeling of pushing history is really great .
It was too late to score a goal today, but the players of Union Berlin were rarely in a hurry. They still played steadily, which also shows their growth after experiencing the Istanbul game.
In the 70th minute, Boas made two substitutions. Both Ronaldinho and Van Persie were replaced, and Sun Jihai and Klose played. He felt that the header might be the key to breaking the opponent's goal today. Franck Ribery on the right switched to the left.
Sun Jihai played his role very quickly. After receiving the pass from Maicon, he just passed the midfield and sent an accurate cross to Klose's header. The defensive situation was able to successfully compete for the top and hit within the goal range.
Although he saved it, Buffon was still in a cold sweat.
The last time it was the German striker who kept bombing the team he was guarding with headers, which left a very deep impression on him.
Thuram also felt a headache, no matter how he defended this kid, he could find a chance to take off, he was as slippery as a loach.
This time the corner kick was very good. Xavi Alonso gave it directly to the back point. After Nemanja Vidic's header was ferried, Klose headed again and was blocked by Buffon. At this time, Ribery cut inside from the left. A strong shot pokes the ball into the net with the toe.
"Franck Ribery, the whole of Europe wondered who would be Cristiano Ronaldo's partner when Robben was injured, and now the young winger, formerly in Ligue [-], has the answer, playing on the right and The performance on the left side is very good, whether it is cutting inside or crossing, he can look good, I believe that he will grow into an excellent winger in a short time, and then Union Berlin will have a headache for who to start."
Ribery, who scored his first Champions League goal, celebrated wildly. Edward, who was watching the game in the box, still felt bad. Ribery still had too much desire to perform at critical moments. He even directly pushed the teammate who came up to celebrate, such a thorny personality is really unheard of.
There are many players with personalities, but they would never push their teammates like this. Ribery's men didn't hold back any energy. Even if Modric has a good temper, he would still be angry. This guy is really difficult to deal with.
Edward was thinking about something, the game ended quickly, the final score was 1:0, this score set the Hoffmann Stadium on fire instantly, they were not happy because of the score, but because of the victory, Union Berlin participated for the first time Winning six straight in the Champions League is a great achievement.
But "Bild" has not forgotten to block Union Berlin at this time:
"After the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League in 1992, the UEFA Champions League changed from the original direct knockout stage to the group stage and then the knockout stage. Since the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League, there have been 3 teams that have won all in the group stage. , but coincidentally, these three teams missed the final championship. It seems that it is really not a good thing to be in a state too early.
AC Milan 1992/93 season
In the 1992/93 season, Milan was very strong in the Champions League. Not only did they win the group stage, they even beat Gothenburg, Porto and Eindhoven, and they also won consecutive victories until the final.But I didn't expect to enter the final, but the powerful AC Milan lost to Marseille with a score of 0 to 1. Unfortunately, they lost the championship. They could have become the only team in history to win the championship.
Paris Saint-Germain 1994/95 season:
In the 1994/95 season, under the leadership of George Weah, Paris Saint-Germain made great strides in the UEFA Champions League group stage, winning consecutive victories against Bayern, Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Kiev, and achieved a record of complete victories, but they finally stopped in the semi-finals .
Spartak Moscow 1995/96 season:
The Russian Super League giants Spartak Moscow once played against Legia Warsaw, Rosenberg and Blackburn in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 95/96 season.But when it came to the knockout round, Sparta, which had won all the group games, changed into another team. Because of the schedule of the Russian Super League, they did not play for four months, so they were eliminated by Nantes as soon as they reached the knockout round.
Barcelona 2002/03 season:
This year, Barcelona's opponents in the group stage were Lokomotiv Moscow, Club Brugge and Galatasaray. As a result, Barcelona won all 6 games.But in the end they didn't go too far. They lost to Juventus in the quarter-finals and stopped in the quarter-finals.
Union Berlin are now unbeaten in the group stage but their first trip to the Champions League is not promising. I don't think they have a chance to break the curse. "
Edward is really speechless. AC Milan won all the way to the final. Why don’t you say it? For any team participating in the Champions League for the first time, winning the group stage all the way is a good thing. When they say something about Union Berlin .
Now he is completely convinced of this Bayern mouthpiece, but he has no time to pay attention to him, because at this time Union Berlin has a big event, a big happy event!
"French Football" announced the list of the Ballon d'Or, and there are several Union Berlin players in it:
Juventus: Nedved, Buffon, Del Piero
Manchester United: Ruud van Nistelrooy, Beckham
Real Madrid: Zidane, Raul, Carlos, Ronaldo, Wesley Sneijder, Materazzi
Barcelona: Deco, Ronaldinho
Union Berlin: Robin van Persie, David Villa, Robben, Van der Sar, Nesta
AC Milan: Dida, Shevchenko, Inzaghi
Bayern Munich: Makaay, Ballack
Ajax: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Rome: Totti
This 25-man roster made the whole of Europe see the horror of Union Berlin. Five of them were selected. If you count the players who played for Union Berlin before, they were selected. In an instant, Union Berlin became the focus of European football. center of gravity.
Edward did not expect so many people to be selected, which is really a big deal.The whole team was very happy. Those young people who were selected for the answer list of the Ballon d'Or were a little disrespectful when they walked, but Edward found that Ronaldinho had emotional problems.
This kid is really strong.
Edward was not going to comfort him directly, let him suffer for a while, remember this feeling well, and then continue to work hard.The next game against Wolfsburg is the last game that Edward is going to watch live, and then he is going to deal with the premiere of the movie. The movie is scheduled for Christmas, and he has no chance to spend the holidays at home, but okay Girls can fly everywhere with him.
Wolfsburg coach Jurgen Lebel was very humble before the game. He kept complimenting Union Berlin, but his team showed no intention of holding back in the Volkswagen Stadium game. It was less than two minutes into the game. Klimovitz broke Union Berlin's goal with a long shot.
This goal made the young people of Union Berlin a little confused. They conceded the ball before the start for a long time, but after reacting, they immediately became angry. In their eyes, the Bundesliga team is a point-scoring boy, and now the point-scoring boy is going to pull the flag. Rebellion, can they bear it?
Union Berlin immediately adjusted their mentality and bombarded Wolfsburg's goal, showing a strong suppression.
Xiao Luo, who was angry because he was not selected for the Golden Globe Award, completely burst out with the greatest energy.
Although he made more personal breakthroughs and reduced some cooperation with his teammates, his performance was unparalleled. His personal breakthrough on the right caused Wolfsburg a lot of trouble. In the 8th minute, Xiao Xiao Luo even used a solo pass to create a free kick for the team. This time he personally took the penalty and hit it cleanly to equalize the score.
Although he scored a goal, his anger has not subsided. Ronaldinho wants to prove that those damn judges are blind with his performance.He is as omnipotent as Monkey King who has become a Super Saiyan, with sharp breakthroughs, powerful explosive power, and various fancy or indirect practical moves.Wolfsburg fans are stupid, is this a combination of Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho?
Seeing Xiao Luo once again send a cross with the flower-arranging foot, their hearts stopped beating again. This kid failed to succeed in the cross just now and just snatched it back by himself, and now he did it again.
Van Persie did not waste Ronaldinho's kindness this time. Although it was a half-high ball, it was not difficult for Van Persie with excellent skills. He volleyed and sent the ball directly into the opponent's goal.
"Haha," Van Persie hopped up and hugged Ronaldinho's neck: "That's a good pass, buddy."
"I feel very ordinary." Xiao Luo was happy in his heart, but he didn't admit it.
Van Persie also knew what was going on, slapped his ass and ran away.
The scene of two people chasing each other on the court looks youthful and full of vitality, but the Wolfsburg fans are not in a good mood at all. It is still a game, and they are not paying attention to them at all.
After the game restarted, Van Bommel quickly handed over the ball to Harvey Alonso in the backcourt. Harvey Alonso saw the opponent's position and decisively sent a 40-meter overhead pass. After receiving the ball, Van Persie performed He was also quite calm. He continued to smash the ball to attract the defensive attention of the opponent's defender and then suddenly gave it to the left. Ronaldinho cut in and rewrote the score again.
The two celebrated with a Michael Jackson dance on the pitch this time, joined by more Union Berlin players.When the game came to this situation, fans in the stands had already started to leave.
Now the fans of the Bundesliga are full of experience. It is better to leave the field early when they encounter Berlin United's goal momentum, otherwise they will only see the team's goals being broken again and again.
Facts have proved that their choice is very correct, because as soon as the second half started, Ronaldinho performed a hat-trick and rewritten the score to 4:1.
After receiving a long pass from Ribery on the right, he went straight into the penalty area, swayed the two defenders of Wolfsburg with continuous cycling, and then shot the goal vigorously.
And this is not over yet, during the stoppage time of the game, Sun Jihai, who came off the bench, scored his second Bundesliga goal with a long shot.
Union Berlin's winning streak continued, and the on-site commentator said helplessly: "United Berlin is so strong that they are suffocating. They have scored almost 5 goals in the last 30 games. Their offensive firepower ranks first in Europe. Now when the Bundesliga teams meet them, it is best to think about how to lose decently, so that the fans will not be too embarrassed."
The "Berliner Zeitung" also used the powerful Berlin Union as the headline: "After experiencing the Istanbul game, the Berlin Union players have grown rapidly. They are now capable of defeating any opponent. The most surprising thing is that Franck Ribery is on the sidelines. Lu's performance is also excellent, and now Union Berlin has fallen into happiness troubles, and after Robben returns in January, the competition on the wing will be completely fierce."
After Edward saw the report, he also thought a lot.
Ribery has indeed performed very well, but he still has problems with teamwork. If Robben is in good condition after his injury, Ribery will definitely return to the bench again. Union Berlin does not need this kind of player who is too egotistical .
Even if Ronaldinho has changed his playing style, Ribery can't have any surprises. He pushed away Modric and celebrated by himself, which made Edward very angry, but Villas-Boas didn't care much, and Edward also It's hard to talk, but the dislike in his heart still exists, and he plans to find time to talk to Ribery again.
Now he is a bit disgusted with talking to Ribery, how many times it has been, and it is still like this.
(End of this chapter)
Isn’t Philip Neville British? Normally the British should make good use of this opportunity. Even Italy has made a statement. Of course, it’s the same as farting when they get a statement. No country in this world will be afraid of Italy. Threats, if they really dare to start a war, they are giving away heads, even equipment.
In order to leave Istanbul as soon as possible, their luggage had already been sent to the airport, and the way to the airport was smooth. After all, it was impossible for the Turks to let Union Berlin really do something here. Before Edward was injured, many stars in Hollywood appeared. Having condemned the extreme fans and expressing concern about the security of Istanbul, the Turks are completely devastated.
After returning to the plane, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if it was the next day.I was still fighting against those extreme fans in the stadium just now, and now I am back in a comfortable private plane, so I am exhausted. Some players have fallen asleep before the plane takes off. They are really tired. To withstand the pressure of the opposing fans.
Now in a safe place, they finally couldn't stand it any longer.Edward doesn't feel that way. The feeling of playing football on the court is completely different from watching it on the sidelines.When the players are playing football, they are quite nervous, and in such a dangerous environment, it is normal for them to feel extremely tired. Coupled with the exhaustion of physical energy, they suddenly don't have to stretch their nerves, so they fall asleep quickly.
Hearing the roar of the plane starting, Edward said with emotion: "It's great to finally leave this land."
"Yeah," Boas, who was sitting next to him, opened his eyes and said, "What happened in the past few days is too unreal. It's like a movie. Victory Escape?"
"Hahaha, escape from the tiger's mouth!"
If this kind of thing hadn't happened, it would be hard to imagine this kind of situation in Europe in the 21st century. The European media has been promoting this place as the best place in the world, and everyone is very friendly and nice to speak.But this situation is simply lying.
The whole of Eastern Europe is very poor, Central Europe is severely discriminated against, and there are always problems in Istanbul. The Balkans are full of wars, and it is not as beautiful as they advertise.
Moreover, European people generally have some superstitions. Even people with high education will believe in ghosts and gods inexplicably, so things still have to be viewed dialectically.Edward was deep in thought, what benefit this incident could bring them.After going through so much, if you really don't get some benefits, you will feel sorry for yourself.
The team encountered difficulties together. Now the team is very united, and the little conflicts between the players have disappeared. This is a good thing.But how else to fight for the interests of the Berlin Union?
Looking at Edward's previous life experience, it is a principle in European and American countries that children who cry have milk!Therefore, this matter must not end so simply. After returning home, let the players accept two more interviews. Edward is going to go on TV with the team staff. When the time comes, he will complain and talk about his feelings at that time, and strive to win more people. sympathy.
This really needs a script, not to say that you directly fabricate your experience in Istanbul, but how to describe your own experience is also an art. After returning, he plans to give the "Berliner Zeitung" a task, first let them interview the team to know the situation, and then help Write down what you should say when you are on TV.
perfect!
In this way, UEFA will also feel a lot of pressure. If they dare not do anything, Edward will directly hire someone to protest at the gate of their headquarters. He learned this method from the milk tea seller in his previous life.Find people to line up to make a false impression that it is in full swing, and use this unfair business practice to deceive consumers.
Of course football is not the same as doing business, but he is ready to put pressure on UEFA in the same way. Let more pressure be put on, let UEFA understand what public opinion cannot be violated, and people throughout Europe are sympathetic to Union Berlin. .
After thinking about what he should do next, Edward also felt a little tired, and fell asleep immediately after a sense of drowsiness struck.
When the crew told them that they were about to land in Berlin, Edward got up and Fabio gave a speech:
"Gentlemen, I can't go on calling you lads or kids at this time, because each of you has done mature things."
"Every one of you is a hero in this trip to Istanbul."
"Our performance in the Champions League this time perfectly embodies what is the spirit of resistance and what is sportsmanship. After suffering inhuman treatment, you can still perform so perfectly on the court. I am really proud of you. You are now It's a great team."
"Adversity makes heroes, all of you are heroes, now we are going back to Berlin, the fans must be waiting outside the airport, so give you 10 minutes, pack your clothes, no matter how tired you are, you must pay attention to your image .”
"After today's disbandment, everyone will be on vacation for two days. During this period, if someone wants to interview you, you must be a bit miserable, understand?"
"Mr. Chairman!" Van Persie raised his hand and asked, "Is it what we learned in acting class?"
Edward gave Van Persie a thumbs up and said: "Recall your fear when you were in danger before, and think about your fighting spirit when you were on the court, and you will know how to tell the reporter. We encountered difficulties and dangers. We Ordinary people are afraid, but we defeated the fear and bloodbathed Istanbul, we are Union Berlin!"
"Long live Union Berlin!!!"
There was a commotion on the plane, and the crew members did not encounter any danger, but their expressions seemed to be more terrifying than what happened to the Union Berlin players. The main reason is that Edward is here, and the boss has suffered. What to do.
Boas suddenly felt that Edward was really good. A few words made the team understand the current situation and mobilized the children's emotions. When they got off the plane, the situation was very exciting.
Edward nodded in satisfaction, sat back in his seat, and began to organize his clothes. He doesn't need to be glamorous, a little bit of embarrassment is the best.
Boas thought of it with him, he pulled his tie and unbuttoned his shirt a few times. The two of them found that they were doing the same thing, and they looked at each other like a hero.
The players are tired, so no matter how hard they try to tidy up, they will only look bright on the surface. The fatigue on their faces cannot be concealed. Edward and Boas are not so tired, so they need to use their appearance to decorate themselves.
Before he came back, Edward had already called the "Berliner Zeitung", the Queen's media of the Berlin Union. They would send five reporters to take pictures of the Berlin Union. At that time, some of the photos would be selected for publication. The task given by Edward was to find some Photos that can reflect their encounters without affecting the image of the team, it is best to capture the expressions of the players, what kind of firm eyes, stubborn expressions, when the time comes with inflammatory words, an article will be posted soon The same article as the official account of the previous life was released.
This is a proposition shooting, and their editor-in-chief attaches great importance to it, so there are only 5 reporters waiting at the airport to take pictures.As for other European media, they can't control them. They can only find some familiar people to briefly explain what Edward means. I believe they will not reject this young chairman who has never spared money.
After several hours of flight, it was finally time to land in Berlin. The expressions on the faces of many players changed, and the emotional Stekelenburg even touched his tears.
With the roar of the engine stalling, Edward's private plane landed at Berlin Tegel Airport.
Tegel Airport is the main international airport of Berlin, the capital of Germany, located about 8 kilometers in the direction of Tegel in the Leinickendorf district of Berlin.The airport is named after German aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal and it is the fourth busiest airport in Germany.
Although it was late at night at this time, and the location of the airport was relatively remote, the gate of the airport was already blocked by fans, and there was a crowd of fans waiting at the gate of the airport. They were all wearing Union Berlin jerseys.
The crowd burst into cheers when they saw Edouard and Villas-Boas leading the players out of the VIP tunnel.
"Our heroes are back!"
"Well done boys..."
"You guys are tough guys, we will make those Turks pay in the future!"
"David, your hat-trick is really cool!"
"Sun, Sun, look over here, I love you..."
Countless fans wearing Union Berlin jerseys, holding scarves and slogans, have been waiting here since the moment they left Istanbul. A few hours did not cool down their mood, but broke out with even greater enthusiasm.
Uniform applause, all kinds of beautiful praise, the performance of the fans made the players' eyes a little moist, it is really like a soldier just off the battlefield seeing his relatives, especially seeing his family members standing in the crowd , They couldn't control their emotions anymore and cried.
Young faces, red eyes full of exhaustion, but the body is still standing upright, this kind of scene is really unimaginable.
Kacha Kacha Kacha... Keep pressing the shutter, Carl Green keeps saying yes, that's it.He came here today to complete the task, and now it looks like the scene is better than he thought.
These photos will surely become big news when they are sent out, and may even win the favor of Eduard Hoffmann, the king of Berlin.Their newspaper already has two editor-in-chiefs who have made great progress after being appreciated by Mr. Hoffman. Although he is only a reporter, he is also a reporter with ideals.
Edward felt his scalp tingling when he saw the crowd of people. He didn't expect so many people to pick him up at the airport. It looked like tens of thousands of people. They waited here so late and didn't go to sleep. The fans this year are very good. ah.
As the chairman of the club, he really should come out to show his presence at this time. Edward asked the airport staff to take a loudspeaker, find a stool to stand on it and make a speech: "Dear people, we are back. We encountered a terrible situation in Turkey. Attack, even wanted to give up the game at one point, but thinking of you, the players decided to keep playing, they don't want you to be disappointed... We had a brilliant victory, the Berliners are never intimidated, thank you very much for coming Airport, but it’s getting late now, and the players are tired, so let’s go home early, we will have some special arrangements for the next home match day, thank you again for coming to the airport today.”
Edward's words are still very useful. The fans left reluctantly, and the players hugged and cried with their families.Edward left directly and walked to the side of the street. His S600 was already waiting there. Now he also wanted to see his family and couldn't wait.
Twenty minutes later, seeing the gate of Hoffman Manor, Edward almost couldn't help crying emotionally.In the past, he always felt that Germany was not good, but after all, he has his relatives here. After such a experience, he felt very anxious to go home.
After getting off the car, he even jogged upstairs, but when he got upstairs, he was immediately stunned.
Jennifer Aniston, Winona Ryder, Caroline, Avril Lavigne, Scarlett Johansson are all sitting there, this situation is not quite right.
Under normal circumstances, Aniston, Winona, and Caroline were at home. Edward hesitated and wanted to turn around.
"Eddie, are you going to run straight away?"
Jennifer Aniston asked.
"How...how is it possible." Edward said with a strong smile, the three trials are definitely not a good thing, Avril Lavigne and Scarlett are both busy, there must be something for them to appear here.
Edward is not stupid, and it doesn't show that the situation is wrong.
"Eddie, I told you not to let you go to Istanbul, you have to go, do you know how worried we were when we saw the news of your injury, for fear that something might happen to you, if there is something wrong with you, what will we do?" manage……"
"I'm fine, I'm very hungry now, can I have some food first?" Edward said pitifully.
Although they knew that he was pretending, the girls let him go. He had already suffered outside, and if he was still annoyed by their persecution when he got home, Edward might really run away.
Later, Edward repeatedly promised to protect himself in the future, and the girls forgave her, but the night was still very tiring, and Edward suddenly felt that he was not so happy to be back in Berlin.
------------
The wind in the newspapers the next day was of course in Union Berlin's favour.
The whole of Europe is strongly condemning the law and order in Istanbul, and most European league teams have expressed their concerns about going to Turkey to play away games.
Ferguson: It's really bad there. If I get the Istanbul team, I may choose to retire directly.
Wenger: There are only two countries in the world that I don't want to go to. One is Russia and the other is Turkey. The experience of playing games in these two countries is very bad, and I don't feel the fun of football at all.
Benitez: It's really scary. After seeing what happened to Union Berlin, I don't want to play in Istanbul at all.
Ancelotti: What a shame, UEFA must severely punish Galatasaray.
Cruyff: They finally returned to Germany safely. I thought the end of the world was coming. These days, I was always worried that half of the Dutch national team would be destroyed. Yes, Union Berlin is half of the Dutch national team. Now I am finally relieved. Take a breath.
Mourinho: I have a good relationship with the players, and now I still have some contact. I am really happy to see that they have no problems.
The former Union Berlin player Sneijder also accepted an interview: "I was very worried about their safety before, and now I am finally relieved. I have many friends in Union Berlin. I really feel sad for what happened to them. It is hard for you to imagine such a situation." It happened in Europe."
The "Berliner Zeitung" has harsh words: "What happened to our players there can only be seen in movies. Someone must be responsible for such a terrible thing. Is there a need for the Istanbul team's home stadium? Who will compensate the injured players? And the loss of the team, Robben will not be able to return to the team for at least January, which is a very big blow to Union Berlin. Not only that, many players have been seriously traumatized psychologically, Galatasaray must give Union Berlin A statement."
In the afternoon, the Berlin Union held a press conference, and Edward attended it in person.
"I believe that many people have already understood what happened to us there. Murder is murder. This kind of thing must not be counted as such. The license plate of the fans who drove maliciously and robbed the road that day has been recorded. All the players in the car, the team's staff and the team's journalists filed a lawsuit against the fans in the European Court of Justice."
This is what I have repeatedly thought about before. If it is easy to talk about football in the name of the team, the situation may not be painful at that time. In the end, Galatasaray apologized to the fans.
How could Edward accept this result? This was the closest he was to death. He must make those Galatasaray fans pay the price. When they are in prison, they will just wait to sing Chrysanthemum Stage every day.
The reporters in the audience also thought of this joint, but this time they really didn't feel that Edward had gone too far. After all, anyone who encountered such a thing would react violently.
David Gill and Edward looked at each other, took the microphone and said: "We express our strong indignation and protest against the opponent's vicious and shameless behavior, but the opponent has no intention of restraining himself at all, so our players decided to win on the court. The other party gave the opponent an unforgettable lesson, and then there was an almost exaggerated score in this game. This is our counterattack to the opponent's despicable methods. Union Berlin will never give in to any opponent. If anyone wants to play tricks, You must first consider whether you can afford the consequences."
Menacing, blatantly menacing, aggressively menacing, David Gill feels good.
At this time, a reporter asked: "Mr. Edward, do you know what happened to the Union Berlin fans who left early?"
Edward's heart skipped a beat. What did they do? They were too busy coming back yesterday, and they really forgot about the fans who went away with the team. Since the reporter asked this question, it means that they must not be injured. This is already unfortunate. Fortunately, now I just hope they don't cause too much trouble.
"Sorry, I haven't had time to contact the fans after returning to Berlin to ask what they have done."
"They attacked some innocent citizens in Istanbul and took away all the street signs nearby."
Hahahahahahahahaha... Hearing the Turkish reporter's speech, the entire conference hall burst into laughter. What he said was so funny, he stole all the nearby street signs, why didn't he say he stole all the traffic lights in Istanbul?
But Edward knew in his heart that those bastards could indeed do such a thing. Edward now thought that the fans of his team did it first, but so what.
"I don't know what happened, so I can't listen to your one-sided words. If there was a gang fight, it would definitely not be our fans who took the initiative to provoke. The Berlin Union fans are the highest-quality fans in the world. Every one of them loves peace. , I never take the initiative to cause trouble, and the law and order in Berlin is also very good, so I think there is something wrong with what you said, and the thing like taking away the street signs is even more nonsense."
"But it just happens."
"Then do you have evidence?" Edward asked.
The reporter had no choice but to sit down resentfully, not to mention him, no one had any evidence, the police immediately took away all the nearby surveillance videos after they arrived at the mall, and there were not many surveillance videos in the first place.
In fact, the Turkish police are also very confused now. The international public opinion was not good at first, but after watching the video in the past, it was their own fans who did it first. He did not admit that this happened. As for the missing street signs, he only said that the municipal government needed to replace them with new ones.
This matter is tacit, and the reporter knows what is going on, but it is too much to think about finding a place for Union Berlin.
UEFA is also in trouble now. Philip Jennings found a few Swiss Union Berlin fans to take the lead and asked them to go to the UEFA headquarters to protest. Europeans are really good at this point. A few fans not only Using love to generate electricity, the fans who were dragged by them to join in the fun didn't mention money at all. Once the bus was arranged, and the slogans and banners were distributed, everyone was as happy as going to a temple fair, which also showed how free Europeans are.
In the evening, the Union Berlin team doctor took Robben to participate in the Sky TV program. In the afternoon, some players were interviewed. As more and more victims came forward to speak out, UEFA could no longer sit still.
They finally announced the results of Galatasaray that night.
Galatasaray will close 15 home games in the future and fine them 20 euros because of the unfavorable restraint of fans and the interruption of games by their fans.
This is a sky-high fine, but Edward still feels very sorry. Closing the home stands does not mean safety. There may be dangers on the way to the stadium. The best way is to cancel the Turkish team’s home stadium, but this kind of thing is very difficult. do it.After all, it is only a problem of one club's game, and it is difficult to involve the national teams. It is impossible to suspend the Turin team for the fan riots in Juventus.
After the press conference, Edward immediately met with the members of the fan organization. The experience of their 500 people made Edward very curious. After figuring out the cause and effect, Edward decided to give each of them a first-team signed jersey on the spot, and those signs were all included in the team. In the museum, the team will write their stories during the exhibition. This is simply a legend. These crooked nuts have really big brains.
Why don't you steal all the trash cans on the streets of Istanbul and make them stink like Paris.
Anyway, as long as they didn't get hurt.
Edward did what he said and gave the first team two days off.But he, Boas and others are still working nervously.
When I came back, it was too late to train and I faced Stuttgart directly.
At that time, this group of children did not embarrass the team at all. Ronaldinho cut inside and broke the opponent's goal shortly after the opening.The two teams also have a lot of connection. The first team that Union Berlin met in the second division was Stuttgart. At that time, Union Berlin was the challenger, but now the status of the two sides has been exchanged.
Because of Robben's injury, Ribery appeared in the starting lineup. Stuttgart players regarded him as a soft persimmon, but this little-known wide player immediately showed his talent. The action made those long-established stars feel overwhelmed, and the precise crosses after the bottom were constantly delivering shells to the forwards.
Now Ribery has matured a lot, and he will not only think about himself when playing football.
Soon he assisted Van Persie with a cross to help the team continue to rewrite the score.
The first half ended 2:0, and the second half changed sides to fight again.
Stuttgart, which is playing at home, is getting more and more fierce. It is estimated that the coach scolded these players a lot in midfield.
But in front of Union Berlin, willpower can't change the result at all. Especially after experiencing the plight of Istanbul, the players of Union Berlin have grown rapidly.
Harvey Alonso, who returned to the starting lineup, quickly continued to expand the lead with a volley shot. He was unable to face Galatasaray with his teammates. He has always regretted that so many dangers have been avoided. , I couldn't escape the last blow, and I was slightly strained during training.
After the goal, Xavi Alonso took off his shirt and ran and roared wildly.
Three goals behind, Stuttgart replaced two forwards in one breath, and it was a succumbing posture. Boas felt that the opponent's coach was bloody, but if he knew what Boas was thinking, he would definitely wish for it. He just wanted to play. Scoring a goal gives the fans an explanation.
After the substitution, Stuttgart's tactics were simpler and more rude, playing high-altitude bombing with Union Berlin with continuous crosses.
But Vidic is in very good condition today, all the crosses were shot down near his airspace, he is Union Berlin's most reliable ground-to-air weapon.
Stuttgart's relentless offense still played a role. Pepe, who partnered with Vidic, was emotional and pulled down the Stuttgart forward in the penalty area to send points. The final score was fixed at 3:1.
In the subsequent League Cup, they drew Hasfield again. Seeing this result, the opponent's coach replaced the reserve team very poorly. There were only 3 substitute players in the entire starting lineup.
Although Boas also rotated the team, he still won the game very easily. If he hadn't confessed to save some face for the opponent, the final score could not have been a simple 4:0.
In the next game against Frankfurt, Union Berlin won again easily with 2 goals. In this game, the opponent performed very well, but Van der Sar used his superb performance to block the opponent's at least 4 must-go goals. In this case, Frankfurt It can only be done in vain.
In the post-match press conference, Villas-Boas praised the Dutch goalkeeper: "Didn't you hear what the fans called him, Saint Edwin, Edwin van der Sar is the best goalkeeper in Europe in my eyes, no one I can be compared with him, as long as he is in Union Berlin, I don’t have to worry about the goals. My only wish now is that he can play in the team until he is 50 years old.”
When he saw the news, Stekelenburg almost fainted. If Van der Sar really played for too long, he might never have a bright future.
Next, Berlin ushered in the last game of the Champions League group stage, playing against Juventus at home.
This game has no meaning for the two sides. They have now secured the No.1 position in the group, and Juventus has also confirmed the group qualifying.
So both teams have made a certain level of personnel adjustments. Lippi's team is still very solid in defense. Today Thuram is as indestructible as the Great Wall of Scotland.
At the beginning of the game, Juventus still had some ideas, but after Union Berlin made a counterattack, Juventus saw the deadly counterattack speed of Union Berlin, and recalled the first round of the game and immediately returned to their own half.
Although Robben did not play, the side combination of Ronaldinho and Ribery was equally sharp. Ribery performed too well today. He turned Juventus' defense upside down on the right.
The wind-like counterattack speed made Juventus, who had no way to limit them, completely decided to focus on defensive IQ. Lippi continued to command from the sidelines to keep the players focused, and put the main energy on dealing with the two wide players of Union Berlin. , although the game is meaningless, but as an Italian giant, they still have to face. They must win the opponent next time, and they cannot lose to Union Berlin in both rounds of the group stage.
Today, Juventus' two defensive midfielders are also very thoughtful when defending. One of them takes the initiative to grab the defensive team players, and the other is responsible for maneuvering on the sidelines.
Although it was the second match, Boas still felt that Juventus' playing style was too shameless. As a giant, they could only defend and counterattack, but their defensive counterattack was more stable than that of many teams.
Lippi also has no choice. Berlin Union's offensive speed is too fast. Their speed is terrible for Serie A players. If he lets the team press forward, he can easily be pierced through the defense.
Today Nedved stayed in the frontcourt to counterattack, and Juventus will not have the problem of not being able to attack.
Union Berlin's passes and receptions were pleasing to the eye, and the offense was like mercury pouring down the ground, but once it entered the area covered by the Juventus defense line, the offense began to have no way to advance, and it was no different from the first round of the game.
Lippi looked very helpless, because he knew that there might be loopholes in the team's physical decline later, but fortunately, there are more preparations today.
The reason why he didn't let Piero start is to wait for Del Piero to play in the second half to find opportunities.
So there is not much to watch in the game now, only Union Berlin's offense is relatively good, but there is no way to penetrate Juventus' penalty area. The home fans feel very irritable and keep booing Juventus players.
You are a super rich team in Italy. Last year, you entered the Champions League final. Now that you have qualified for the Champions League group stage, you don’t even have the courage to attack?
Although the Bundesliga teams are often kicked by Union Berlin with a big score, they never fail to attack when they should attack. Juventus' defense today is too extreme, which makes Union Berlin fans look down on them.
So what are you talking about the giants, they don't even have the courage to attack in front of them.
During the intermission, the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 0:0.
In the second half, Union Berlin brazenly launched an attack on Juventus' penalty area. It doesn't matter if they can't get in. Long shots, endless long shots, basically they have the ability to take a kick. Today's game they are bound to win their previous 5 group matches Win all of them, as long as you win this game, you can create another history of the team.
The players are still very motivated to play in Union Berlin, because they can always create one record after another. The team does not have a glorious history, but they can create it themselves. This feeling of pushing history is really great .
It was too late to score a goal today, but the players of Union Berlin were rarely in a hurry. They still played steadily, which also shows their growth after experiencing the Istanbul game.
In the 70th minute, Boas made two substitutions. Both Ronaldinho and Van Persie were replaced, and Sun Jihai and Klose played. He felt that the header might be the key to breaking the opponent's goal today. Franck Ribery on the right switched to the left.
Sun Jihai played his role very quickly. After receiving the pass from Maicon, he just passed the midfield and sent an accurate cross to Klose's header. The defensive situation was able to successfully compete for the top and hit within the goal range.
Although he saved it, Buffon was still in a cold sweat.
The last time it was the German striker who kept bombing the team he was guarding with headers, which left a very deep impression on him.
Thuram also felt a headache, no matter how he defended this kid, he could find a chance to take off, he was as slippery as a loach.
This time the corner kick was very good. Xavi Alonso gave it directly to the back point. After Nemanja Vidic's header was ferried, Klose headed again and was blocked by Buffon. At this time, Ribery cut inside from the left. A strong shot pokes the ball into the net with the toe.
"Franck Ribery, the whole of Europe wondered who would be Cristiano Ronaldo's partner when Robben was injured, and now the young winger, formerly in Ligue [-], has the answer, playing on the right and The performance on the left side is very good, whether it is cutting inside or crossing, he can look good, I believe that he will grow into an excellent winger in a short time, and then Union Berlin will have a headache for who to start."
Ribery, who scored his first Champions League goal, celebrated wildly. Edward, who was watching the game in the box, still felt bad. Ribery still had too much desire to perform at critical moments. He even directly pushed the teammate who came up to celebrate, such a thorny personality is really unheard of.
There are many players with personalities, but they would never push their teammates like this. Ribery's men didn't hold back any energy. Even if Modric has a good temper, he would still be angry. This guy is really difficult to deal with.
Edward was thinking about something, the game ended quickly, the final score was 1:0, this score set the Hoffmann Stadium on fire instantly, they were not happy because of the score, but because of the victory, Union Berlin participated for the first time Winning six straight in the Champions League is a great achievement.
But "Bild" has not forgotten to block Union Berlin at this time:
"After the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League in 1992, the UEFA Champions League changed from the original direct knockout stage to the group stage and then the knockout stage. Since the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League, there have been 3 teams that have won all in the group stage. , but coincidentally, these three teams missed the final championship. It seems that it is really not a good thing to be in a state too early.
AC Milan 1992/93 season
In the 1992/93 season, Milan was very strong in the Champions League. Not only did they win the group stage, they even beat Gothenburg, Porto and Eindhoven, and they also won consecutive victories until the final.But I didn't expect to enter the final, but the powerful AC Milan lost to Marseille with a score of 0 to 1. Unfortunately, they lost the championship. They could have become the only team in history to win the championship.
Paris Saint-Germain 1994/95 season:
In the 1994/95 season, under the leadership of George Weah, Paris Saint-Germain made great strides in the UEFA Champions League group stage, winning consecutive victories against Bayern, Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Kiev, and achieved a record of complete victories, but they finally stopped in the semi-finals .
Spartak Moscow 1995/96 season:
The Russian Super League giants Spartak Moscow once played against Legia Warsaw, Rosenberg and Blackburn in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 95/96 season.But when it came to the knockout round, Sparta, which had won all the group games, changed into another team. Because of the schedule of the Russian Super League, they did not play for four months, so they were eliminated by Nantes as soon as they reached the knockout round.
Barcelona 2002/03 season:
This year, Barcelona's opponents in the group stage were Lokomotiv Moscow, Club Brugge and Galatasaray. As a result, Barcelona won all 6 games.But in the end they didn't go too far. They lost to Juventus in the quarter-finals and stopped in the quarter-finals.
Union Berlin are now unbeaten in the group stage but their first trip to the Champions League is not promising. I don't think they have a chance to break the curse. "
Edward is really speechless. AC Milan won all the way to the final. Why don’t you say it? For any team participating in the Champions League for the first time, winning the group stage all the way is a good thing. When they say something about Union Berlin .
Now he is completely convinced of this Bayern mouthpiece, but he has no time to pay attention to him, because at this time Union Berlin has a big event, a big happy event!
"French Football" announced the list of the Ballon d'Or, and there are several Union Berlin players in it:
Juventus: Nedved, Buffon, Del Piero
Manchester United: Ruud van Nistelrooy, Beckham
Real Madrid: Zidane, Raul, Carlos, Ronaldo, Wesley Sneijder, Materazzi
Barcelona: Deco, Ronaldinho
Union Berlin: Robin van Persie, David Villa, Robben, Van der Sar, Nesta
AC Milan: Dida, Shevchenko, Inzaghi
Bayern Munich: Makaay, Ballack
Ajax: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Rome: Totti
This 25-man roster made the whole of Europe see the horror of Union Berlin. Five of them were selected. If you count the players who played for Union Berlin before, they were selected. In an instant, Union Berlin became the focus of European football. center of gravity.
Edward did not expect so many people to be selected, which is really a big deal.The whole team was very happy. Those young people who were selected for the answer list of the Ballon d'Or were a little disrespectful when they walked, but Edward found that Ronaldinho had emotional problems.
This kid is really strong.
Edward was not going to comfort him directly, let him suffer for a while, remember this feeling well, and then continue to work hard.The next game against Wolfsburg is the last game that Edward is going to watch live, and then he is going to deal with the premiere of the movie. The movie is scheduled for Christmas, and he has no chance to spend the holidays at home, but okay Girls can fly everywhere with him.
Wolfsburg coach Jurgen Lebel was very humble before the game. He kept complimenting Union Berlin, but his team showed no intention of holding back in the Volkswagen Stadium game. It was less than two minutes into the game. Klimovitz broke Union Berlin's goal with a long shot.
This goal made the young people of Union Berlin a little confused. They conceded the ball before the start for a long time, but after reacting, they immediately became angry. In their eyes, the Bundesliga team is a point-scoring boy, and now the point-scoring boy is going to pull the flag. Rebellion, can they bear it?
Union Berlin immediately adjusted their mentality and bombarded Wolfsburg's goal, showing a strong suppression.
Xiao Luo, who was angry because he was not selected for the Golden Globe Award, completely burst out with the greatest energy.
Although he made more personal breakthroughs and reduced some cooperation with his teammates, his performance was unparalleled. His personal breakthrough on the right caused Wolfsburg a lot of trouble. In the 8th minute, Xiao Xiao Luo even used a solo pass to create a free kick for the team. This time he personally took the penalty and hit it cleanly to equalize the score.
Although he scored a goal, his anger has not subsided. Ronaldinho wants to prove that those damn judges are blind with his performance.He is as omnipotent as Monkey King who has become a Super Saiyan, with sharp breakthroughs, powerful explosive power, and various fancy or indirect practical moves.Wolfsburg fans are stupid, is this a combination of Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho?
Seeing Xiao Luo once again send a cross with the flower-arranging foot, their hearts stopped beating again. This kid failed to succeed in the cross just now and just snatched it back by himself, and now he did it again.
Van Persie did not waste Ronaldinho's kindness this time. Although it was a half-high ball, it was not difficult for Van Persie with excellent skills. He volleyed and sent the ball directly into the opponent's goal.
"Haha," Van Persie hopped up and hugged Ronaldinho's neck: "That's a good pass, buddy."
"I feel very ordinary." Xiao Luo was happy in his heart, but he didn't admit it.
Van Persie also knew what was going on, slapped his ass and ran away.
The scene of two people chasing each other on the court looks youthful and full of vitality, but the Wolfsburg fans are not in a good mood at all. It is still a game, and they are not paying attention to them at all.
After the game restarted, Van Bommel quickly handed over the ball to Harvey Alonso in the backcourt. Harvey Alonso saw the opponent's position and decisively sent a 40-meter overhead pass. After receiving the ball, Van Persie performed He was also quite calm. He continued to smash the ball to attract the defensive attention of the opponent's defender and then suddenly gave it to the left. Ronaldinho cut in and rewrote the score again.
The two celebrated with a Michael Jackson dance on the pitch this time, joined by more Union Berlin players.When the game came to this situation, fans in the stands had already started to leave.
Now the fans of the Bundesliga are full of experience. It is better to leave the field early when they encounter Berlin United's goal momentum, otherwise they will only see the team's goals being broken again and again.
Facts have proved that their choice is very correct, because as soon as the second half started, Ronaldinho performed a hat-trick and rewritten the score to 4:1.
After receiving a long pass from Ribery on the right, he went straight into the penalty area, swayed the two defenders of Wolfsburg with continuous cycling, and then shot the goal vigorously.
And this is not over yet, during the stoppage time of the game, Sun Jihai, who came off the bench, scored his second Bundesliga goal with a long shot.
Union Berlin's winning streak continued, and the on-site commentator said helplessly: "United Berlin is so strong that they are suffocating. They have scored almost 5 goals in the last 30 games. Their offensive firepower ranks first in Europe. Now when the Bundesliga teams meet them, it is best to think about how to lose decently, so that the fans will not be too embarrassed."
The "Berliner Zeitung" also used the powerful Berlin Union as the headline: "After experiencing the Istanbul game, the Berlin Union players have grown rapidly. They are now capable of defeating any opponent. The most surprising thing is that Franck Ribery is on the sidelines. Lu's performance is also excellent, and now Union Berlin has fallen into happiness troubles, and after Robben returns in January, the competition on the wing will be completely fierce."
After Edward saw the report, he also thought a lot.
Ribery has indeed performed very well, but he still has problems with teamwork. If Robben is in good condition after his injury, Ribery will definitely return to the bench again. Union Berlin does not need this kind of player who is too egotistical .
Even if Ronaldinho has changed his playing style, Ribery can't have any surprises. He pushed away Modric and celebrated by himself, which made Edward very angry, but Villas-Boas didn't care much, and Edward also It's hard to talk, but the dislike in his heart still exists, and he plans to find time to talk to Ribery again.
Now he is a bit disgusted with talking to Ribery, how many times it has been, and it is still like this.
