Chapter 171 Expedition to Denmark
Odense is the third largest city in Denmark.

The population here is 22. For Germany, this is a small place, but in Denmark, this is definitely a big city.

The Odense club was founded in 1887 and has a long history. The team's performance in the Danish Super League is still good, but it is still far behind Copenhagen.

The team's home stadium, the Odyssey Stadium, is a small stadium with a capacity of only 1 people, which is about the same size as the stadium of the second team in Cologne.

At that time, this is likely to be a factor affecting Cologne players. People who are used to playing in big stadiums will not be used to small stadiums.

Odense's coach, Bruce Leoke, is a tough Scot, a bit like Ferguson.

Bruce also belongs to the kind of person who looks ordinary but has a hot temper.

Before the first round of the UEFA Cup, Bruce accepted an interview with the largest local newspaper in Odense, the Funen Parish Times.

Reporter Yorase first talked about the temper of the Scots.

"I saw the movie Braveheart, aren't you Scots all that grumpy?"

"Haha." Bruce laughed, "I think the most famous Scot in football is Sir Alex Ferguson."

"Maybe there is an unyielding spirit in our genes."

"So you came to Denmark?"

"I like a challenge."

"Now you have an opportunity to lead the team to the UEFA Cup."

"We did a good job in the league last season, but it wasn't enough. I think the UEFA Cup is what the fans are most looking forward to. This is the European league. I think people outside Denmark know little about Odense. This is our chance to prove ourselves to the whole of Europe."

Jorasse laughed: "Our opponent is Cologne, from Germany."

"Britain and Germany." Yorase smiled knowingly, which meant a lot.

"Haha, I have nothing against Germany, I don't like Germany, and I don't hate it."

"Cologne was a Bundesliga team last season. They qualified for the UEFA Cup by winning the German Cup."

Bruce said: "I rarely pay attention to the second division."

"I watched a few games in Cologne. Podolski is a very good player. I will arrange someone to defend him."

"According to the information I have obtained, the strongest shooter in Cologne is a man named Tang Zhenglong."

Bruce's eyes widened, "Who?"

"Tang Zhenglong, a Chinese."

puff.

Bruce laughed rudely.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, this is the information I found."

Bruce looked at it, threw it aside, and said with disdain: "Asian and African players will perform particularly well for a period of time, but their continuous ability is average."

"Bruce, your words may not be appropriate." Yorase reminded.

Bruce sneered: "I know what you mean? What's wrong with the football world now? The racist hat is so terrible?"

"Others are afraid, but I am not afraid. I am responsible for what I say. The level of European football is high. There is no problem with that."

Yorasehan, this passage should either be deleted, or it should be specifically stated that it is Bruce's personal opinion and has nothing to do with this newspaper, otherwise it will cause trouble 100%.

Sure enough, Bruce's outspokenness caused a storm. Cologne coach Stevens, who has come to Odense, euphemistically hinted at the opponent's lack of respect in an interview.

"We are a team in the second division, but if the opponents underestimate us because of this, then I can only say, wait and see."

Most Odense people support Bruce, but there are some media exceptions. Among them is a big media-TV2, one of the Danish national TV channels, whose headquarters is in Odense.

The hostess Shadier is about to explain the UEFA Cup game. Before the game, she wants to interview the players and coaching staff of Cologne.

Cologne usually trains on a standard football field next to the Odyssey Stadium. In fact, a small football training center is formed next to the Odyssey Stadium. There is not only a standard stadium, but also several small pieces of artificial turf.

The training that Stevens arranged was mainly routine training, and the tactical training was conducted secretly at other venues.

During the training interval, Shadir submitted an interview request, and Cologne was also very generous, and the press officer reported to Stevens.

Stevens threw Tang Zhenglong to Xia Dier.

"Why me?" Tang Zhenglong wondered.

"You should ask, why not you."

"Is this discrimination?"

"No, it's an emphasis."

Stevens felt that since Tang Zhenglong was always playing "Anonymous" behind his back and pretending to be Schultz, it would be better to let him speak freely.

Xia Dier had done her homework before coming here. She knew Tang Zhenglong, the team's top scorer, and could always score some wonderful goals.

"Don, welcome to Denmark, is this your first time in Denmark?"

Tang Zhenglong nodded.

"What was your first impression of Denmark?"

"The women here are pretty."

"..."

Xia Dierlei is here, doesn't it mean that Asians are more reserved?
"Thank you."

Changing the topic, Shadier talked about Bruce and his controversial remarks.

Tang Zhenglong had been upset for a long time, but instead of going back immediately, he took a detour.

"Excuse me, do you have princess disease?"

Xia Dier was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing, can you answer me?"

"No." Xia Dier muttered, she didn't know what Tang Zhenglong meant.

Tang Zhenglong spread his hands, "Many girls think that anyone with princess disease is a princess, but in fact, they are wrong, and it is very likely that they are really sick."

puff!
"In the same way, some people think they are Scottish and have a big mouth, then they are Ferguson."

"Wrong! It is very likely that you are not Ferguson, but Bruce."

"Hahaha."

"sorry."

Xiadier covered her mouth.

Tang Zhenglong is too humorous.

"I think the strongest Scots go to the Premier League, such as Sir Alex Ferguson, the second-rate Scots are from the Scottish Premier League, but come to the Danish Super League..."

Tang Zhenglong shrugged.

"It may be a caring person who came to help the poor through football."

Xia Dier laughed again.

"Of course I don't mean to look down on Odense. I think the teams that can participate in the UEFA Cup are very strong."

"Don, as an Asian player, is it not easy to play in Europe?"

"Of course, but I'm the best player in Asia and I survived."

Best player in Asia?

Shadier didn't quite believe it, and thought: "Odense is a small place, don't lie to me."

"Don, can you predict the course of the game?"

"I think away goals are the most important, maybe 2-2."

"Will you score?"

"If the female Danish fans cheer for me and go crazy for me, I will score."
