Football irons are burning

Chapter 158
The next day, the media also affirmed Kaiserslautern's performance.

Although the opponent is weak, Kaiserslautern is indeed well controlled, with a strong momentum, and the strength displayed is frightening!

Photo News: Li Tie is back, the Red Devils are back on track!
Kicker Magazine: Li Tie's control is world-class!
Süddeutsche Zeitung: Watching Li Tie play football is a kind of enjoyment. Franz's successor is well-deserved.

Red Devils Daily: We are still on the road to the championship, walking very calmly!

Bayern, who was out of the Champions League, defeated Hamburg with 4 goals away in this round of strong dialogue in the league, and continued to chase after them, still 6 points behind Kaiserslautern.

Without the UEFA Champions League, Bayern can only focus on the country. This game also demonstrated Bayern's strong strength.

Elber scored a hat-trick and continued his leading position in the scorer list!

In this way, Bayern can indeed become a qualified opponent of Kaiserslautern. In the following games, both sides have to deal with it well and cannot make mistakes.

Kaiserslautern leads by 6 points, and there is still a chance to make mistakes, but Bayern must not make any more mistakes, otherwise, the Bundesliga champion will be locked by Kaiserslautern.

In the quarter-finals of the German Cup in the middle of the week, Kaiserslautern played against Nuremberg again, and it was still 6:0.

However, it is said that in order to train young players, the German Football Association plans to restructure the German Cup next season. From the first round, a two-round knockout system will be adopted, and only the final will still be held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

In this case, the number of games will be increased, but the chances of weak teams getting upset will be reduced.

After defeating Nuremberg, Kaiserslautern reached the semi-finals.

Nuremberg ate 12 duck eggs in two consecutive games, and it is estimated that the stomach can be broken.

Li Tie continued to play, with a group of substitute players, and his performance continued to be strong.

Klose staged a big four, and the training in the German Cup has made him more and more mature. It is estimated that next season, he will become the main player of Kaiserslautern.

This guy usually gets a lot of trouble. He and Schneider are the key training targets of Magath. Of course, there are two Friedrichs who are also key training targets.

Nuremberg was in a bad situation. When Li Tie came back, he thought he could win the championship in the German Cup, but when he met Kaiserslautern, let's forget it this year.

Entering the semi-finals, the team's opponent is Leverkusen. Leverkusen's only hope of winning the championship is the German Cup, which should be very exciting.

But already in the semi-finals, Kaiserslautern will definitely not give up the German Cup championship, and the triple crown must be better.Just the last two games, trembling twice, then it's over?

The other pair of opponents are Bayern and Hertha Berlin. Bayern probably won't give up the German Cup. After all, the Champions League has been eliminated and the league is 6 points behind. The hope of winning the German Cup is relatively high.

Hertha Berlin is now under the leadership of Deisler, and it is also proud. The league is only 1 point behind Bayern, and Germany has also entered the semi-finals. This is definitely the best moment for Hertha Berlin.

In this semi-final, I also felt that Mars hit the earth.

However, the media seems to be more optimistic about Kaiserslautern.

Kaiserslautern has entered the semi-finals of both the Champions League and the German Cup, leading the league by 6 points. Kaiserslautern is fighting on the third line and has the hope of winning the championship.

This situation is indeed very good. It is no wonder that the media is biased. After all, they all judge based on the results.

In the 23rd round of the league, Kaiserslautern defeated Bochum 1:5 in an away game. Li Tie continued to be in good form and ran across the midfield, stronger than a bulldozer.

The Bochum team, like Nuremberg, is a team in the relegation zone, and this is the point.

Now the team's worth is compared, that's a huge difference.

Kaiserslautern's main players are worth tens of millions, while Bochum has accumulated a number of second-rate players. How can they be compared?
The only goal conceded by Kaiserslautern was Materazzi's own goal, and the Italian was a little carried away.

After two consecutive rounds of abuse, Kaiserslautern players gained more confidence.

The impact of Li Tie's previous absence was also directly wiped out.

Fighting on the third front, Kaiserslautern's schedule is still very tight. As long as you stick to this state, you will be absolutely fine. Li Tie himself is also full of confidence.

At the press conference after the game, Li Tie announced in a high-profile manner that the team has fully entered the sprint stage and that the team is fighting for the Triple Crown. It will definitely live up to the expectations of Kaiserslautern fans!

In the next three weeks, Kaiserslautern will first face Leverkusen at home in the 24th round of the league, and then face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League. These are two hard bones, which are not easy to chew.

Entering the end of the season, there will definitely be more and more hard bones.

Then the league will meet Wolfsburg again, the German Cup will continue to beat Leverkusen, and then there will be the German national derby, and the second leg of the Champions League semi-final will follow.

There is no doubt that these three weeks will determine the fate of Kaiserslautern this season. Whether it is one championship, two championships, or three championships, the answers will be revealed one by one in these three weeks!

However, Magath still did not hesitate. In the 24th round of the league, Kaiserslautern continued to insist on facing Leverkusen with all the main force, and ignored the others for the time being. Let's talk about keeping the 6-point lead in the league.

At the press conference before the game, Leverkusen coach Daum was still stubborn, thinking that his team could stop Kaiserslautern away.

Dom has led Leverkusen to play a few good games in recent rounds, and the club management decided to let Dom continue to lead the team until the end of the season.

So, this guy started to chatter again.

"Kaiserslautern fights on multiple fronts, and their attention will definitely be scattered. This is good for Leverkusen. By beating Kaiserslautern, we will win more respect and it will also be good for the future of the team."

Magath said unceremoniously: "We only have one goal at home, and that is three points!"

The match day came, and after the start of the match, the coach of the visiting team, Dom, soon discovered that Leverkusen was really at a disadvantage!
Only 8 minutes into the game, Li Tie successfully intercepted Ballack's pass with a big foot, and accurately found Drogba in front of him. Drogba flicked the header, Ruud van Nistelrooy volleyed the ball without stopping, and the ball went straight into the dead corner, 1:0!

This tactic is so clear, it is the fulcrum of Drogba, and the opponent has indeed tried his best, but he can't compete with Drogba, what can you do?

Moreover, Van Nistelrooy's ability to seize opportunities is excellent. This is his 22nd goal this season, keeping pace with Elber.

On the court, strength still has the final say!
Among the players that Li Tie recruited for Kaiserslautern, which one is not quite a star in another time and space?

These people played around Li Tie, it's no wonder they couldn't kick the ball well.

Moreover, a group of young people, who are full of vigor, once kicked smoothly, are unstoppable.

Nowotny was a little helpless, he stood up and watched his opponent celebrate, he had already worked his life out, but he still couldn't beat Andy Lau in Africa.

"Hey, do I want to go to China for retirement too?" Nowotny suddenly had a strange idea, and couldn't help but look at Li Tie.

He knew that Li Tie helped many old German players to play in China, and all of them played well, could get a high salary, and could also perform at a high level to help their team.

Nowotny is not young this year, he is 35, and he also wants to find a way out for himself.
