The king of green grass lore

Chapter 244 Battle against Manchester United

Back to Cologne to rest for two days, April 4, against Hertha Berlin at home.

At present, Hertha Berlin has only scored 19 points, firmly holding the bottom of the throne, but the second-to-last Hannover 96 only has 23 points, the third-to-last Freiburg has 24 points, and the fourth-to-last Nuremberg has 25 points.

The score difference is not much. Hertha Berlin played well in the last five rounds, and it is still possible to avoid relegation.

Against Cologne?

Definitely not able to score points, but in order to maintain the continuity of the game state, Funkel still sent all the main players.

Cologne has just finished the Champions League. Except for Lin Xiu, everyone is resting at home, and all the substitutes are on the stage. Young people such as Royce and Kanter once again got the chance to start.

Then, the youngsters were taught a lesson by Hertha Berlin.

In the first half, Raphael scored a goal in 25 minutes and 45 minutes respectively. In the second half, Cologne played very urgently, but failed to equalize.

In 55 minutes, Lin Xiu came off the bench.

Seeing the end of the season, Lin Xiu also took the time to swipe... to send, to send cakes.

Royce ate two pies, scored twice for the first time in his career, excitedly jumped on the back of his elder brother and shouted "I love you".

Without saying anything, I threw it down.

It's all the fault of Podolski, who took a bad lead. Lin Xiu decided not to pass the ball to him in the future.

The score was equalized, and Hertha Berlin still maintained its aggressiveness, but under Lin Xiu's sweeping back and forth, they did not score a goal.

During the game break, Kanter looked at Lin Xiu's back with admiration in his eyes.

The big brother is the big brother, this group of defensive stability.

In 75 minutes, Lin Xiu threw off his teammates and went it alone, happily scoring three goals.

Sending off Hertha Berlin, before taking a breath, Lyon ushered in again.

Pierre said before the game that he was ready and would win.

When I got to the game and saw it, hey, that's it?

It was too far behind Nan Dawang to attack backwards. Before Lin Xiu could play, he was scored by Cologne.

In the second half, Lin Xiu came off the bench and swiped for a while. Lyon seized the time to equalize the score, and then was poured three more.

Lin Xiu scored two goals and one assist, very happy.

Pierre said dejectedly: "Yes, my plan has gone bankrupt, and the super show time is really unstoppable."

You have a fart plan, many reporters laughed.

Fortunately, Lyon was already out, but no one caught him complaining. Everyone was still willing to ask Ferguson for his opinion.

Yes, Manchester United in the other group easily took out Fiorentina. The two will have a two-round contest, and the winner will enter the final.

As an old fritter, Ferguson started the psychological warfare early: "Our strength is stronger than Cologne, and we don't need to make special changes to our opponents to win. There is no doubt that we will enter the final."

Since coaching Manchester United, Ferguson has won countless championships. He has long been one of the best well-known coaches in the world, and Manchester United has become one of the best giants in the world.

As for Daum, the biggest achievement before was to lead Stuttgart to win the Bundesliga championship, as well as the Turkish Super League and the Austrian Bundesliga championship. It is not bad, but it is more than one level worse than Ferguson.

As for the gap between the teams, before Lin Xiu joined, probably, except for the Germans, not many people knew which onion Cologne was.

Looking at the lineup again, thanks to the platform of Cologne, the players are actually well-known, but the strength gap is obvious.

Even so, Daum was not worried. Facing reporters, he said easily: "We have Lin Xiu, he will handle everything. I think what Manchester United means to him is to be able to stimulate the desire to conquer."

Ferguson immediately responded: "I have experienced many excellent players, and China Show is undoubtedly one of the best.

The gap between the Bundesliga and the Premier League is too big, and Cologne can't compare with Manchester United. I will bring him to Manchester, where there is the best stage, which will speed up his pace of becoming the world's number one.

He comes to Manchester United, I will postpone my retirement, maybe I can work until he retires. "

In the face of Ferguson's public poaching, Daum did not respond, because April 4th was the 11th round of the league, and the opponent was Hoffenheim, who was fourth in the league.

But the German media did not pay too much attention to this league, but followed the Champions League semi-finals, especially Ferguson's public gestures.

Seeing the intense siege of the reporters, Lin Xiu finally responded: "Manchester United is of course a good next home, but even if I transfer, I have to wait until the end of next season.

As for whether they will choose Manchester United, it depends on their sincerity. They can try to make an offer to the club. As long as the three parties are satisfied, the deal can be concluded. "

To sum it up: transfer is okay, pay money!

Don't forget, half of the transfer fee is yours, so if you don't have enough sincerity, it won't work.

As for the plot or something, don't talk about it.

In this atmosphere, the game against Hoffenheim started in a low-key manner.

After being eliminated from the Champions League, Hoffenheim's schedule is not under much pressure, and the qualification for the Europa League is also guaranteed. Rangnick has enough confidence to face head-to-head.

And Cologne played twice a week, and the players who played Lyon were either at home or on the bench. Facing such a lineup, the great Ibisevic went crazy. He scored a hat-trick in half an hour in the first half, and played Cologne.

Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, Weiss pierced through Du Zhenyu's ten fingers again.

4: 0.

Du Zhenyu's face turned pale.

Rangnick was not too excited. In fact, from the beginning of the game, he kept quiet, as if the team hadn't scored a goal.

Daum is in a similar situation. Anyway, Lin Xiu is on the bench and can play at any time.

Sure enough, in the second half, Lin Xiu came on stage, and happily made a Seven Stars Lianzhu.

This time it was the turn of Hoffenheim goalkeeper Daniel Haas to turn pale.

The two head coaches continued to remain calm, with the demeanor of a famous coach who is not surprised by honor or shame.

At the press conference after the game, Rangnick spread his hands and made a simple summary: "Look, this is a super show. No matter what tactics you set up, it doesn't work. I don't think Manchester United will perform better than us."

Ferguson will not play psychological warfare against Rangnick, and Dom is not in the mood to talk to Manchester United.

After returning to Cologne, I took a little breather. On April 4, I played against Bochum at home.

Since the national derby was confirmed, Bochum and Cologne have been getting closer and closer. According to unspoken rules, Cologne should be on the bench at this time and help Bochum quietly.

However, the historic record of winning all seasons was too tempting, and Daum still sent Lin Xiu in the second half.

2:0, a score enough to give Bochum face.

Lin Xiu scored all two goals. It's not that Lin Xiu didn't want to score more, but that Bochum defended and fell back, and didn't give a good situation for scoring statistics.

After finishing Bochum and taking a day off, the entire Cologne team set off for Manchester to prepare for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.
